"value": "An arrest has been made in the mysterious case of a New Hampshire 15-year-old girl who went missing nine months ago and reappared home last week. Nathaniel Kibby, 34, was arrested at his home in Gorham Monday afternoon and charged with the felony kidnapping of Conway teen Abigail Hernandez. The New Hampshire Attorney General's Office said in a press release that Kibby confined Hernandez on October 9, 2013 'with purpose to commit an offense against her.' Scroll down for video . Collared: Nathaniel E Kibby, 34, was arrested Monday in connection to the nine-month disappearance of New Hampshire teen Abigail Hernandez, who reappeared alive in her hometown last week . 'Hernandez provided police with details of her kidnapping sufficient to warrant (the) arrest,' investigators added. Kibby was allegedly arrested without incident and is set to be arraigned in Tuesday at Conway District Court. Neighbor Donald Stgermain, 76, was at home at the time Kibby was arrested and described the scene to MailOnline. Mr Stgermain said he was making food around noon when law enforcement showed up outside his neighbor's house, 'dressed in battle gear with rifles'. He says about an hour later FBI agents showed up at his house, asking if he knew Kibby or had ever seen a young girl near the house. Mr Stgermain said he never had, and never noticed anything strange happening at Kibby's house. Kibby has been living at the residence on Brookside Drive for about five years, Mr Stgermain said. When he moved in he had a girlfriend, but Mr Stgermain says they appeared to have broken up and Kibby has since lived alone. Mr Stgermain's wife has seen Kibby walking a Doberman around the neighborhood on a few occasions. Abigail made headlines last October 9 - . just days before her 15th birthday - when she unexpectedly disappeared . after last seen by her boyfriend walking home from school. Back home: Abigail Hernandez made headlines last October when she disappeared from her hometown of North Conway, New Hampshire while walking home from school. She reappeared home last week . The . only contact she had with any friends or family was a letter believed . to have been sent by the schoolgirl to her divorced parents, Zenya and . Ruben Hernandez, in the weeks after her disappearance. Then last Sunday, she suddenly reappeared. Kibby's arrest came just hours after Hernandez's mother gave an interview, to speak out against rumors surrounding her daughter's disappearance. In an interview with the Today show, mother Zenya Hernandez shut down speculation that her daughter ran away because she was pregnant. 'The majority of people somehow believe that she was pregnant. She was not. She did not run away. I firmly believe that,' Mrs Hernandez said, adding that she does not believe her daughter knew her alleged abductor. 'She did not run away': Zenya Hernandez spoke with the Today show on Monday to dispell rumors her daughter ran away nine months ago because she was pregnant. Mrs Hernandez says she believes her daughter was abducted . Police have since released a sketch of the man believed to have abducted Abigail, according to the teen's descriptions. However, law enforcement have not released further details of their investigation since her reappearance. ‘Our biggest challenge is, we’re . dealing with incomplete information,’ Kieran Ramsey, assistant special . agent in charge of the Boston Division of the FBI told The Boston Globe. ‘The . victim in this case is a 15-year-old girl. It’s not as cut and dried as . people think that somebody can exactly recount what happened, when, and . where.’ Mrs Hernandez also described the moment her daughter returned home last week, wearing the same clothes as the day she went missing in October 2013. 'We just stood and looked at each other and then we hugged and I just said, \"Thank god you're home, thank god you're home.\"' While it was a happy homecoming, Mrs Hernandez was worried by the change in her daughter who had lost a lot of weight and was very pale. 'She had a look in her eyes that I've never ever seen before and that's haunting me,' Mrs Hernandez said. In her interview, Mrs Hernandez vowed to bring her daughter's abductor to justice. 'I feel like they just took and ripped something out of our souls and just as I swore that I'll find her - I'll find the person. I'll find out what happened,' Mrs Hernandez said. Clues: This week police released video of Abby on the day she . disappeared, left, and a sketch of a man they believe drove her away in a . blue pick-up after interviewing Abby for three hours . A missing person poster of Abigail Hernandez displayed in a storefront window in North Conway, N.H., shows Hernandez has been found . On Saturday, authorities released a . sketch of a man, provided to them by Abby, who they believe drove her . away in a blue pick-up back in October. On Friday, the District Attorney's office . revealed that police had received 20 tips from members of the public, . following the release of the sketch. Despite conducting a three-hour . interview with the teen, it is unclear whether they know where she was . or if she was taken by force. They . have also appealed for witnesses who may have seen Abby return after . she was apparently dropped off on the same road that she was possibly . abducted from all those months ago. Sources . close to the investigation said the teenager has so far not been able . to tell officers many facts about her disappearance. But . they are convinced a crime has been committed - as they believe there . is no way the 15-year-old could have stayed hidden for nine months . without some kind of adult involvement. Abigail's reappearance has baffled her North Conway community, including her old boyfriend Jimmy Campbell, 15, and his family who spent a lot of time with the teen before she went missing. Heartbroken: Jimmy Campbell, 15, was left confused when Abigail, his first love, disappeared while walking home from school on October 9 last year ¿ just days before her 15th birthday . So far, they have had little contact with Abigail and her mother, and have received no answers in relation to her nine month absence. 'I have instant messaged Abby’s mother . Zenya, but we have not had any contact. All I want is the truth, I don’t . care what happened, but I want to know who the sons of b*****s were who . had her for nine months,' Jimmy's father James Campbell told MailOnline. Because Abby spent so much time with . Jimmy at the Campbell’s house, the family were questioned by FBI agents . as a matter of course when she first disappeared. Mr Campbell says his family are overjoyed . Abby is home, but he feels the community, who invested so much time and . effort into the search, deserve to know what happened. Zenya Hernandez, center, and her daughter, Sarah Hernandez look at Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young, during a news conference on Friday . 'I . understand the police want to keep the investigation hush hush to an . extent, but they wanted our help when they were looking for her, so how . about giving us some answers now?', he said. Abigail has not spoken publicly about her alleged abduction, but has released a statement thanking those in her community that aided in the search. 'My gratitude is beyond words. It's an incredible feeling to be home and I believe in my heart that your hopes and prayers played a major role in my release,' she said. However, many locals in North Conway feel the same as James Campbell and are still incredibly frustrated by the lack of answers. A number of people posted their views on the Facebook page of The Conway Daily Sun. One, . Jaime McKinnon, wrote: 'Okay... So I hate to be a huge jerk here.. but . seriously. It's like pulling teeth to get any darn info. The entire area . has gone above and beyond to support and help with the search for her. Now she's back and we can't get any darn answers.' Mystery: James Campbell, who says he was close to Abby and her family, has not talked to Abby's mother since she returned. He, like the rest of the town, are left searching for answers over where she has been . Reunion: Ms Smith said she spoke to Zenya this week who told her: 'It's over. The nightmare's over.' Ms Smith added that: 'They could just sit in a room staring at each other and they'd be happy. They are just enjoying being around each other' Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy ."

"value": "The elusive 'God particle' discovered by scientists in 2012 has the potential to destroy the universe, Professor Stephen Hawking has warned. At very high energy levels, the Higgs boson could cause space and time suddenly collapse - and 'we wouldn't see it coming', the former Cambridge professor of mathematics says. The God particle, which gives shape and size to everything that exists, could cause a 'catastrophic vacuum delay' if scientists were to put it under extreme stress. Scroll down for video . Stephen Hawking wrote that the recently-found Higgs boson 'God particle' could destroy the universe . The God Particle could destabilise at high energy, threatening the universe, but the Cern particle accelerator is too slow to cause such a problem . A disaster like this is very unlikely for the time being as physicists do not have a particle accelerator large enough create such an experiment, but Prof Hawking's comments have excited scientists, the Sunday Times reported. The theoretical physicist wrote his thoughts on the Higgs boson in the preface to a new book, Starmus, a collection of lectures by scientists and astronomers including Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Queen guitarist Brian May. Prof Hawking wrote: 'The Higgs potential has the worrisome feature that it might become megastable at energies above 100bn giga-electron-volts (GeV). 'This could mean that the universe could undergo catastrophic vacuum decay, with a bubble of the true vacuum expanding at the speed of light. 'This could happen at any time and we wouldn't see it coming.' The theoretical physicist wrote his thoughts on the Higgs boson in the preface to a new book, Starmus, which is released in early November this year . British scientist Peter Higgs predicted the God Particle in the early 1960s but it was only found in 2012 . The Higgs boson was a key missing piece in the jigsaw for physicists in trying to understand how the universe works. Scientists believe that a fraction of a second after the Big Bang that gave birth to the universe, an invisible energy field, called the Higgs field, formed. This has been described as a kind of ‘cosmic treacle’ across the universe. As particles passed through it, they picked up mass, giving them size and shape and allowing them to form the atoms that make up you, everything around you and everything in the universe. This was the theory proposed in 1964 by former grammar school boy Professor Higgs that has now been confirmed. Without the Higgs field particles would simply whizz around space in the same way as light does. A boson is a type of sub-atomic particle. Every energy field has a specific particle that governs its interaction with what’s around it. The professor did add sarcastically, however, that such an event is unlikely in the near future. He said: 'A particle accelerator that reaches 100bn GeV would be larger than Earth, and is unlikely to be funded in the present economic climate.' Professor John Ellis, a theoretical physicist at Cern, said: 'One thing should be made clear. The discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) did not cause this problem, and collisions at the LHC could not trigger the instability, because their energies are far too low.' Particle accelerators make subatomic particles travel at greater and greater speeds as they are pumped with more energy before smashing them together. Scientists do this to try and spot tiny fragments of particles which fly off, and it is how the Higgs boson was discovered at the Cern LHC in Switzerland in 2012. In that experiment, physicists noticed unexpected debris from the collisions that fitted with what British scientist Peter Higgs had predicted in the early 1960s. The Higgs boson particle is thought to be part of the mechanism that gives matter its mass, but scientists do not fully understand it yet.

"value": "A male friend of the Indian gang-rape victim who was with her when she was attacked has described how he had to carry her bleeding body into a police van on his own - because none of the officers wanted to touch her. The 28-year-old said no passersby stopped to help them as they lay naked and bleeding in the road after they were thrown off a Delhi bus on which the gruesome ordeal occurred on December 16. When the police finally arrived they wasted two hours arguing over which police station was responsible before finally taking the victims to a hospital which wasn't close to the crime scene, he said. Claims: Awindra Pandey, the male friend with Miss Singh Pandey when she was subjected to the brutal gang-rape ordeal, spoke out in an interview on Indian television . Treatment: The rape victim was taken to intensive care at a Singapore hospital but died of her injuries . Police in India today denied the man's claims. The 23-year-old woman died on December 29 in a specialist hospital in Singapore after a 13-day struggle to survive injuries so grievous that her intestines had to be removed. She underwent three major surgeries and suffered a cardiac arrest in India before being flown to Singapore for treatment. The horrifying crime has appalled India and brought simmering anger about widespread crime against women to the boil amid angry calls for safer streets, more sensitive policing and changed social attitudes. In an interview with Hindi TV channel . Zee News, the victim's friend said the gang of six men aboard the bus - fitted with . curtains and tinted windows - had planned to trap them. Once on the bus, he was attacked and his . 23-year-old friend was gang-raped by a group of allegedly drunk . men, including the driver, who also violated her with an iron bar . causing immense internal damage that led to her death. The man, believed to be the only witness in the case, said he did his best to fight off the attackers. 'They . beat us up, hit us with iron rod, snatched our clothes and belongings . and they threw us off the bus on a deserted stretch. 'From where we boarded bus, they moved around for nearly two and a half hours. We were shouting, trying to make people hear us,' said the 28-year-old, who suffered a broken leg in the attack. 'But . they switched off the lights. We tried to resist them. Even my friend . fought with them, she tried to save me. She tried to dial police control . room number 100, but the men snatched the mobile.' Police officer Vivek Gogia has denied claims that officers debated for half an hour before taking the rape victim and her friend to a hospital. In a statement, Gogia said police vans reached the spot where the rape victim and her friend were dumped within three minutes of receiving the alert. 'Police vans left the spot for hospital with the victims within 12 minutes,' the officer said. That time was spent borrowing bed sheets from a neighboring hotel to cover the naked rape victim and her friend, he said. Indian police personnel stand guard outside the district court Saket in New Delhi after fears of mob violence against the suspects . Public interest: Indian citizens queue to enter the Saket district court in New Delhi - where two of the five men accused of raping Miss Singh Pandey today begged to be allowed to turn witness for the prosecution . The friend of the rape victim made the comments after her alleged killers were kept away from court on Thursday amid fears of mob violence. 'After throwing us off the bus, they tried to mow us down, but I saved my friend by pulling her away in the nick of time. 'We . were without clothes. We tried to stop people passing by. Several auto . rickshaws, cars and bikes slowed down but no one stopped for about 25 . minutes. 'Then someone on patrol stopped and called the police,' he told Zee News. He claimed three police vans arrived at the scene after about 45 minutes, . but wasted time in deciding under which police station’s jurisdiction . the case fell. He alleged nobody, including the police, gave them clothes or called an ambulance. 'They . were just watching us,' he said, adding someone gave them a part of bed . sheet to cover his friend after repeated requests. 'My . friend was bleeding profusely. But instead of taking us to a nearby . hospital, they (police) took us to a far away hospital.' Anger: India lawyers participate in a protest outside Indian Saket District Court . He said he carried his badly injured friend to the PCR van on his own as . the policemen didn’t help them because the girl was bleeding profusely. 'Nobody . from the public helped us. People were probably afraid that if they . help us they would become witness to the crime and would be asked to . come to police stations and courts,' he told the channel. 'Even . at the hospital we were made to wait and I had to literally beg for . clothes. I borrowed a stranger’s mobile and called my relatives, but . just told them that I met with an accident. My treatment started only . after my relatives came,' he said. 'I . was hit on the head. I was not able to walk. I was not able to move my . hands for two weeks,' he said, detailing the injuries he suffered . on that horrific night. Five people have been formally charged over the rape and murder of the student paramedic, with one named as Ram Singh. It has emerged that a sixth suspect, . who is believed to be a juvenile and is expected to be tried . separately, was the cruelest of all. Indian TV station NDTV has shown footage understood to be the suspects charged in the gang-rape case . According to The Hindustan Times, a . police charge sheet reveals in horrendous detail exactly what he is . alleged to have done to the unconscious victim - after she had been . raped. The newspaper reported that he pulled her intestines out with his bare hands and was also responsible for suggesting that she be thrown naked from the bus. Yesterday, her father called for the hanging . of those responsible for the attack saying 'the death penalty is . compulsory for a crime so great.' The trial will be held in a fast track court. 'Of all the persons in the bus, two . had engaged in the most barbarism - Ram Singh, the main accused in the . case, and the juvenile ' said an officer according to the paper. 'Both of them had subjected her to . sexual abuse twice. Singh was the first to rape her followed by the . juvenile and then Akshay. Later, when she lost consciousness, Singh and . the juvenile raped her a second time.' Authorities . are waiting for the outcome of a bone marrow test before deciding . whether the sixth suspect in the attack will be charged as a juvenile or . an adult. Calls for hanging: In an interview the victim's father said 'The death penalty is compulsory for a crime so great - the assailants must be hanged' The results of the test, intended to determine the suspect's exact age, are expected to arrive soon. The other five men are expected to appear in court on Monday for pre-trial proceedings. Police plan to ask for the death penalty in the case. The men - the bus driver, his brother . and four of their friends - are residents of a south Delhi slum near . the site of the attack. Indian Chief Justice Altamas Kabir . said the accused should be tried swiftly, but cautioned that they needed . to be given a fair trial and not subjected to mob justice. 'Let us not lose sight of the fact . that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty,' he said . yesterday, while inaugurating the new fast-track court. Criminal lawyer Ajay Digpaul told India . Today: 'In my view, it should not take more than 10-15 effective . hearings to decide the case it as there is plenty of evidence.' Sanjay Kumar, a lawyer and a member of the Saket District Bar . Council said that 2,500 advocates registered at the court had decided to stay away to ensure 'speedy justice'. 'We have decided that no lawyer will . stand up to defend the rape accused as it would be immoral to defend the . case,' he said to AFP. The government is to set up four . other such courts in the capital to hold timely trials in sexual assault . cases, which often get bogged down for years in India's notoriously . sluggish court system. Women's activists hope the rape and . killing of the university student on December 16 will mark a turning . point in India's behavior towards women. Poignant: White lilies could be seen in the back of the ambulance as the body was transported through the city . Yesterday the father of the . physiotherapy student paid tribute to his 'fiercely determined' daughter . in his first interview since the attack happened. In an interview with the BBC the day . after he scattered his daughter's ashes on the sacred waters of the . River Ganges, her father revealed how his daughter wanted to be a doctor . and had promised to lift the family from their poverty. He said: 'She was very adamant about whatever she wanted. 'When . we used to stop at a sweetshop on the way to school she was adamant . about wanting a sweet and even the shopkeeper had to relent. 'It . was the same in high school. She wanted to be a doctor and said it was . only a matter of a few years and that when she was a doctor (all our . suffering) it will end.' 'I remember asking her once, who are all your friends? She replied, Dad it's only my books I am friends with.' Her . father moved the family to Delhi from a rural part of India in order to . improve her chances of realising her ambition of a career in medicine. The dream was cut short on December 16 . when she was attacked by six men after as she caught the bus home after . going to the cinema to watch The Life of Pi.

FBI revealed today they found his storage unit containing handcuffs and duct tape . A Christian radio host has admitted to raping a 12-year-old boy, a prosecutors said on Monday. John Balyo, 35, was arrested last Friday while at the Big Ticket Christian music festival in Gaylord, Michigan. He was a morning show host on Christian station WCSG. The 35-year-old admitted to raping the child, a Calhoun County prosecutor said at Balyo's arraignment on Monday. The accused, of Caledonia, Michigan, was denied bail after being charged with first- and second-degree criminal sexual conduct. He is now facing the rest of his life in prison. Balyo got married in April and has a stepson, according to the Christian Post. According to Mlive.com, prosecutor . David Gilbert said Balyo admitted to 'some' charges which police said . related to a single incident at a home in Battle Creek on May 17. The . DJ allegedly paid resident Ronald Moser, 41, to have sex with a young boy. Authorities who raided Moser's property on June 5 found him at the home with a 12-year-old boy. According to mlive.com, in a photo album allegedly posted online by Moser, there were ten images of a young boy lying face down on a bed. His hands and feet were bound and he was wearing only underwear, which had been rolled up to show his buttocks, according to a federal agent. The albums had titles such as 'very cute boy,' and 'sexy boys', police said. The FBI said Moser put images online and planned to trade in child . porn. It is alleged that Moser ran a website providing sex with underage boys for money. The investigation into the alleged pedophiles has involved multiple agencies as part of a larger 'Operation Predator'. Balyo was fired from his job at WCSG and the station publicly asked for prayers for the former host, his family and alleged victims. The 35-year-old had been at the radio station for eight years. Scroll down for video . The Christian radio host, pictured on his show, allegedly had sex with a boy after he paid a pedophile to set up the encounter for him . In a statement, WCSG said: 'We sincerely grieve over these recent . events, in particular the tragic impact on victims and their parents. The trafficking and exploitation of minors is absolutely deplorable. 'The WCSG family is deeply aching and know you may be hurting as well.' A spokesman added: 'We know that no one, absolutely no one, . is immune from falling into the darkness of sin. And yet, we have hope.

"value": "The Japanese Grand Prix top 10 in Suzuka as shown by our live leaderboard . It was one of Lewis Hamilton’s stellar drives, the kind that lifts people off their seats to marvel at what sport at its best is all about. He was brave and relentless and skilled in a rain-splattered Japanese Grand Prix, seizing one of the finer of his 30 race victories by hunting down and passing his championship rival Nico Rosberg. But within minutes of the win, his face was sombre, his words grave, as he waited in the ante-room ahead of the podium ceremony. Rosberg had just whispered in his team-mate’s ear the news that Jules Bianchi of Marussia had been seriously injured. Although the seriousness of Bianchi’s condition was not entirely known, the podium men — Hamilton, runner-up Rosberg and third-placed Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull — refrained from spraying the champagne. In the fading light of a drab, sodden day, even Hamilton’s pyrotechnical driving had found sombre context. The whole benighted weekend had been beset by talk of the incoming weather — a super-typhoon called Phanfone. Would it tip an oceanful of water over the track at 3pm local time, the scheduled start of the race? The rain was incessant but only pitter-pattering down all day. As the cars were driven from the garage to the grid only Sergio Perez slipped off the track; the rest got round easily enough. As they waited to start, the rain markedly intensified. The teams prepared their cars under gazebos, turning the grid into a tented village. Puddles glistened even in the gloom. Rivulets ran across the track. Fans in ponchos were soaked to the marrow. Lewis Hamilton recorded his third straight win after winning a rain-affected Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka . Jules Bianchi was taken to hospital after crashing into a recovery vehicle that was removing Adrian Sutil's stranded Sauber . Bianchi was taken to hospital in an ambulance after being left unconcious following his crash at Suzuka . Bianchi's Marussia crashed into the recovery vehicle that was removing Sutil's stranded Sauber . 1. Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) - 266 . 2. Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) - 256 . 3. Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) - 196 . 4. Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) - 136 . 5. Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) - 133 . So the race started behind the safety car. It was a reasonable decision but even at this stately pace, Marcus Ericsson’s Caterham slid off. Hamilton came on to the radio to ask the team to tell Rosberg not to stop suddenly, so poor was the visibility. Perhaps rather cautiously, race director Charlie Whiting called for a red flag after only two laps. There was a 20-minute delay during which the Ferris wheel next to the track was the only wheel that turned. The race finally restarted, again behind the safety car. Hamilton was not keen on this artificial brake racing. In increasingly exasperated tones, he made it clear he thought conditions sufficiently good to take the safety car away. ‘Charlie, the track is fine,’ he said, addressing Whiting directly. Hamilton’s almost self-destructive blindness to danger is one of his finest traits as a sportsman. Not everybody agreed with his gung-ho promptings. Felipe Massa of Williams complained animatedly that the conditions were unsafe. Whiting waited a little longer before withdrawing the safety car. Now Hamilton was a dog off his lead. Ahead of him was Rosberg, who took pole position brilliantly in the dry on Saturday but was now being harried every lap by the other Mercedes. So it was no surprise when Hamilton passed him by coming out of the final chicane on lap 29 more cleanly, closing on his quarry on the straight and going round him on the outside of the first corner. It was clean, hard racing. There was no reprise of the Senna-Prost chicanery. ‘I was pushing to get by Nico,’ said Hamilton. ‘I had the DRS (overtaking device) open and I forgot to take it off. When I went into the corner the rear end stepped out. It was very, very close but I saved it.’ Paramedics and marshals attend to Bianchi after his Marussia crashed into a recovery vehicle towards the end of the race in Japan . Sutil, who spun off at the Dunlop Curve, looks distressed as he talks to medical staff following Bianchi's crash . Bianchi was rushed away in an ambulance and was unconscious after his crash with a recovery vehicle at Suzuka . Once he was ahead, he simply blitzed away to open up a 10-point gap at the top of the world championship standings with four races remaining. He takes the momentum of three victories on the bounce into next Sunday’s inaugural Russian Grand Prix, although the absurdity of double scoring at the final race in Abu Dhabi renders his advantage less significant than it should be. The race was brought to a premature end when Bianchi slid off as he exited Dunlop, the long left-hander seventh corner, and hit the crane that was trying to lift Adrian Sutil’s Sauber off the track. A safety car was deployed before the rising concern over his condition — and possibly the worsening light — caused the race to be brought to an end six laps early. The conditions were bad, but the typhoon stayed away. An honourable mention should go to Jenson Button, the supreme tactician, who was first in for intermediate tyres after the restart and finished an impressive fifth for McLaren. It was a timely reminder of the Briton’s ageless skills, with Fernando Alonso linked with his seat if, as expected, the Spaniard leaves Ferrari to be replaced by Vettel, who announced this weekend that he is moving from Red Bull. However, Alonso, it seems, may instead opt for a year out of the sport. His race ended after three laps with a suspected electrical failure. He was taken back to the garage on a scooter and threw his hands up in a resigned shrug. VIDEO Hamilton claims dramatic Japan GP .

"value": "Eliaquim Mangala's £32million transfer fee to Manchester City squeezes him between Barcelona's Dani Alves, at £31m, and former Juventus full-back Lilliam Thuram, who moved there for £36.5m, in the most expensive ever defenders list. On current form for his new club, he would be more suitably positioned between a pair of unknown Sunday League defenders. 'Where did they sign him from?' one spectator at the Boleyn Ground asked. It was pointed out he came from Porto. 'I hope they kept the receipt.' Elaquim Mangala was poor against West Ham on Saturday and has not impressed in his seven games for City . The Manchester City centre back (right) is beaten to the ball by West Ham striker Carlton Cole (left) Mangala (left) is challenged in the air by West Ham's on-loan defender Carl Jenkinson (centre) Mangala struggled to deal with the likes of Cole (left) and had an especially torrid time against Diafra Sakho . The defender moved to Manchester City for £32million in August, signing a five-year-deal with the Blues . Mangala (left) appeals before Sakho's match-winning header was deemed to have crossed the line . What City manager Manuel saw in the player when he signed him in the summer is a mystery, at the moment. 9 min - Almost scuffs a clearance over Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart . 18 min - Easily beaten to a long-ball by West Ham striker Diafra Sakho, which lead to a chance for the home side . 19 min - Sakho steals the ball from the City defender near his own box on the right . 41 min - Leaves Enner Valencia unmarked in the City, but misses to the left . 42 min - Fails to clear the ball and loses posession to Sakho yet again . He was a constant liability at the back for City against West Ham. This is not the first nightmare afternoon he has had, in only seven games. Against Hull, last month, he conceded a penalty and scored an own goal. Fortunately on that day his team-mates managed to score four so he got away with it. That was not the case this time. From as early as the ninth minute it started going wrong, when he was facing his own goal and thrashed a leg at the ball sending the clearance looping over Joe Hart and heading in, only for the goalkeeper to push it over. Ten minutes later and Hart saved him again. Diafra Sakho all too easily beat Mangala to a long-range free kick sent into the box and his cushion header played in Enner Valencia, who was only denied by Hart from point-blank range. The same happened again in the second half – another ball booted high and long which the centre-back took time to position himself under and jump for the header, only for Sakho to beat him again. Nothing came from it on this occasion. On 19 minutes he was at fault again. This time Mangala had his pocket picked by Sakho near his own box on the right. Vincent Kompany eventually rushed back to clear, while tumbling, when the ball was crossed into the box. He must've been wondering how much more covering he had to do. Against Hull, Mangala conceded a penalty and scored an own goal in City's 4-2 victory at the KC stadium . The defender was in the French international squad for this summer's World Cup in Brazil but didn't feature . Just before half-time, he knew for sure. A low ball was played into the box and Valencia, completely free, took a touch before shooting narrowly passed the left post. Kompany pointed at the space and looked over at his defensive partner, questioning why so much was allowed. And it was heart-in-mouth stuff a minute later when he failed to clear the ball and Sakho got possession of it instead. In his defence, he hustled the player across the pitch to win the ball back. There was a moment of promise, midway through the second half, when he dived back, at full stretch, to intercept a rapid West Ham break to stop what would have been a certain goal. That is by no means £32m defending, though. Premier League 2014/15 . Appearances: 4 . Minutes on pitch: 360 . Total tackles made: 11 . Tackles won: 72.7% . Shots blocked: 1 . Interceptions: 6 .

"value": "Cristiano Ronaldo’s social life may now be focus of more speculation than the footballing future of Lionel Messi, but make no mistake – Saturday’s rush of blood to the head was all about football and had nothing to do with the Real Madrid star's life off the pitch. The best evidence of that came as he walked off the pitch at Cordoba’s Archangel stadium on Saturday brushing the dust from the World Club Champions badge on his Real Madrid shirt. His supporters will say it was an act of defiance. His critics will say it was one of arrogance but neither will argue it wasn’t rooted firmly in football which is all Ronaldo cares about from the moment he steps off the team coach to the moment he gets back on it. Cristiano Ronaldo lashes out at Cordoba defender Edimar while Real Madrid were chasing a late winner . The Real Madrid superstar's customised CR7 boot clearly makes contact with the defender's leg . Ronaldo appears to claim there is nothing wrong as the defender goes down shamefully clutching his face . Ronaldo is reportedly dating TV presenter Lucia Villalon (right) after his split from Irina Shayk (left) The split with Russian model Irina Shayk and speculation that Ronaldo is now dating Real Madrid TV presenter Lucia Villalon will have been a million miles from his mind when he hit-out at Jose Crespo. Elma Aveiro, speaking to Portuguese media Correjo de Manha, talks about the family’s hope that he finds a woman who ‘loves and respects him’ and who also denied the link to Villalon, will not have been what was troubling him as kicked Edimar with eight minutes left of Real Madrid’s hard-fought win over Cordoba. When football’s most focused player loses it, it is only ever about the game. It was the fifth red card of his six-year career in Spain and much like the one 13 months ago against Athletic Bilbao it will have been born out of frustration at perceived lack of refereeing protection and perhaps even more importantly at the ineptitude of Real Madrid’s performance against inferior but supremely motivated opposition. Surprise surprise Ronaldo hates not winning. He was frustrated. He has scored against 27 of the 29 teams he has faced in Spain. Cordoba, along with Real Sociedad are the only one to have resisted him. Marca match reporter Santiago Segurola called it ‘his worst game since signing in 2009’ and while that might have been stretching it, the performance was summed up by the degree to which Bebe was overshadowing him on the other side by showing all the pace and flair that made Manchester United gamble on his signing, as well as all the misplaced crossing and shooting that helped ensure he was never a success at Old Trafford. Bebe overshadowed fellow former Manchester United player winger during the La Liga clash . Manchester United flop Bebe, pictured with Marcelo, impressed against Real Madrid . Bebe attempts to win back possession from Real Madrid right back Dani Carvajal . Ronaldo and Madrid also felt aggrieved by the match referee who gave a first minute penalty when Bebe’s shot hit Sergio Ramos thigh and cannoned up on to his arm making it completely accidental. Ramos himself should have been given a penalty shortly after when Crespo held him down in the area. The same player could be seen holding Ronaldo at various set-plays and it is he who received the first of Ronaldo’s right-handers – the one the referee doesn’t spot. Edimar, who was kicked by Ronaldo for the sending off said after the game, said: ‘He had become a bit hot-headed because things were not working out for him. 'Things were not going right for the team and he had become a bit nervous because he wasn’t able to do what he normally does. He crossed the line but it's gone and forgotten. I hope he gets just a normal ban and nothing more.’ What is 'normal' will be decided by Spanish football's disciplinary committee who usually sit on Tuesday. The referee’s report does not mention him striking Crespo in the face after the kick and neither does it call the incident 'violent conduct' so a two-game ban is most likely. Ronaldo raises his arm as Cordoba defender Jose Angel Crespo moves closer following his kick at Edimar . The committee could ask Mr Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez to 'elaborate' on his brief summary of the incident and if he chooses to include the slap on Crespo then the ban could run to three games. If that sounds a bit amateur-hour bear in mind a year ago the referee actually changed his report post-match. First he said he had sent Ronaldo off for striking Carlos Gurpegui then he said it was because he had hit out at Ander Iturraspe. So it is possible the referee could add some misdemeanours to the list which would make for a longer ban. If Ronaldo is given a three-match ban it will include Real Madrid’s trip to the Vicente Calderon in the league to play Atletico Madrid. Real will need their talisman there more than ever. Could the player’s moment of madness actually cost them the title? Ronaldo will be reflecting on that on Sunday morning. But no one at Madrid will be turning the drama into a crisis. Gareth Bale has already said: ‘The team has shown it can cope without certain key players, even when we have been without him [Ronaldo].’ Carlo Ancelotti actually congratulated Cordoba for their performance, saying they made Madrid 'suffer'. No one was suffering more than Ronaldo and he reacted, as he has done before - four times before - with some costly petulance. In a final act of petulance, Ronaldo takes a backhand swipe at Crespo before being shown the red card . Ronaldo can only offer a nonchalant shrug as referee Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez shows him a red card . Ronaldo appeared to look at the badge on his shirt as he left the field and passed coach Carlo Ancelotti . Ronaldo heads into the dressing room with the game still balanced at 1-1 in the race for the La Liga title ."

Though the woman has not been identified, the shooter's name is Marcus Collins and he proceeded to kill himself after firing several shots at his ex-girlfriend as she approached by foot. The woman, 41, was hit at least once in the abdomen after she walked up to Collins' silver Cadillac. Scene: The woman took a golf cart towards Marcus Collin's car before approaching by foot. He then fired several shots at her and then shot and killed himself inside the silver Cadillac . The Kansas City Star reports that she lost her spleen, kidney, and portions of both her liver and pancreas due to the shooting, but she is expected to survive. However, police have not been able to interview her to learn more about her relationship with Collins due to her injuries. As the woman was running away, Collins proceeded to shoot and kill himself. Police told the paper that Collins, who lived in Raytown, Missouri, knew the woman for nearly two decades but they had only recently started dating. That said, his family had never heard of her, and her family had never met Collins, implying that the relationship was not serious. On with the game: The shooting took place Friday afternoon in the Kauffman Stadium (pictured) parking lot just hours before the Kansas City Royals played the Los Angeles Angels . The incident took place at 3.20pm on Friday in a parking lot between Arrowhead Stadium, home to the Kansas City Chiefs football team, and Kauffman Stadium, home to the Kansas City Royals baseball team.

The late Apple co-founder didn't allow his children to spend too much time with the shiny gadgets he created — and even as the iPad roared into success in 2010, his youngest daughters didn't even have one. 'They haven’t used it,' Jobs told the New York Times back in 2010, the year the first-generation tablet came out, as recalled this week by Times columnist Nick Bilton. 'We limit how much technology our kids use at home.' Tech parents: Steve Jobs and wife Laurene Powell limited how much their young daughters, Erin and Eve, were exposed to technology. At the Jobs home, the girls weren't even allowed to have an iPad . Jobs had three children with wife Laurene Powell: a boy, 23-year-old Reed, and girls Erin, 19, and Eve, 16. He also has an older daughter, Lisa Brenna-Jobs, 36, with his first serious girlfriend, Bay Area painter Chris-Ann Brennan. His youngest girls, Erin and Eve, were about 12 and 15 when the iPad came out. 'Every evening Steve made a point of having dinner at the big long table . in their kitchen, discussing books and history and a variety of . things,' biographer Walter Isaacson, who wrote 'Steve Jobs,' told the Times. 'No one ever pulled out an iPad or computer. The kids . did not seem addicted at all to devices.' Jobs, who died in October 2011, was not alone: a number of executives limit how much they expose their children to the very technology they produce or sell to put food on the table. 'My kids accuse me and my wife of being . fascists and overly concerned about tech, and they say that none of . their friends have the same rules,' CEO Chris Anderson, of drone maker 3D Robotics, told the Times. Anderson, who has five children between ages 6 to 17, has a clear reason for now allowing his kids too much screen time. 'That’s because we have seen the dangers of technology firsthand,' he told the Times. 'I’ve seen it in myself, I don’t want to see that happen to my kids.' Some techie parents disagree. Ali Partovi, who advises tech giants such as Facebook and Dropbox, says he differentiates times when hils children use the computer as a tool of creation from times when they're just playing games or wasting time. 'Just as I wouldn’t dream of limiting how much time a kid can spend with her paintbrushes, or playing her piano, or writing, I think it’s absurd to limit her time spent creating computer art, editing video, or computer programming,' Partovi told the Times."

"value": "A bidding war between sportswear giants Nike and adidas is set to push the value of Manchester United’s next kit deal beyond the £70m-a-year mark, it emerged on Tuesday evening. Just a day after Arsenal signed a British record deal with Puma of £35m-a-year, Sportsmail can reveal that the battle for United’s next kit reached fever pitch this week with rival companies adidas, Warrior and Puma all attending meetings with commercial director Richard Arnold to pitch for the deal. United’s current suppliers Nike are favourites to renew the present contract that runs at £23.5m-a-year and expires in 2015. Looking good: Nike currently produce Manchester United's strip (right) Back in the day: Clayton Blackmore and Steve Bruce in Adidas strips as Manchester United beat Montpellier on the way to winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1991. adidas supplied the kit for United between 1980 and 1992 . Three stripe: Brian McClair, Steve Bruce and Mark Hughes celebrate United's progress to the final of the 1991 European Cup Winners' Cup by beating Legia Warsaw . However a period of exclusivity – . during which United could talk only to them about a new contract – ran . out at the end of last July and United are now free to speak to rival . bidders. Adidas were first . through the door at Old Trafford this week, spending Monday outlining . their plans to Arnold and his team. Officials from up and coming US firm . Warrior – who pay £25m-a-year to supply Liverpool’s kit – spent all day . at the club on Tuesday while Puma are expected to attend meetings on Wednesday. New look: Last season, United wore a gingham red home strip, worn by Rio Ferdinand (right) Retro? Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney were rampant in this Nike kit . It . is understood that United and Nike have had some serious disagreements . over the way a new contract would be structured in the last two weeks . and it is this that has opened the door for adidas and others. The . winner from the whole thing will be United, of course, as serious . competition from other brands will only serve to drive up the price over . and above the £65m-a-year mark experts originally thought it would come . in at. Big stage: Bryan Robson in an adidas kit with Crystal Palace captain Geoff Thomas prior to the 1990 FA Cup final at Wembley . Kitted out: Norman Whiteside, Bryan Robson and Frank Stapleton in adidas sweaters in a 1986 picture . One industry expert said: 'This . is great news for United as the more serious interest they attract from . rival competitors, the higher the numbers they will manage to . eventually get on the contract.' The . new deal is expected to run over five years and come in at over £350m . in total. It serves to indicate just how powerful the Barclays Premier . League champions are, regardless of their recent difficulties on the . field under new manager David Moyes. Vintage: Ray Wilkins (left) and Bryan Robson (right) in adidas Manchester United strips of the eighties . The . deal will dwarf not only Arsenal’s recent Puma contract but also . Chelsea’s £20m-a-year contract with adidas and Manchester City’s . £12m-a-year arrangement with Nike. Another . number to look out for in the coming weeks is that attached to . Barcelona’s forthcoming new deal with Nike. It is understood that Nike . are contractually bound to match that at least when dealing with United. A club spokesman said: 'We currently are in discussions with multiple parties regarding our Global Retail, Apparel & Product Licensing business starting in the 2015/16 Season. 'This process is a routine practice used for our global and regional sponsorship deals and helps us maximize the value/structure of the Club’s partnerships.'"

Since arriving from Crystal Palace in 2012, the 23-year-old has improved markedly and subsequently broken into the England set-up. Such performances have led to understandable interest from a number of clubs, with Manchester United strongly reported to be one of the vultures circling over St Mary's. Nathaniel Clyne (left) challenges Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha for possession at St Mary's Stadium . Ronald Koeman is relaxed about Clyne's future, although suggested last week that he would like to know by April whether he will be signing the contract extension on the table - a schedule the right-back is happy to stick to. 'My contract, we're still negotiating,' said Clyne, whose current deal expires in summer 2016. 'I'm negotiating with my agent and also with the club so, yeah, we'll wait until April.' Clyne's decision could be a whole lot easier then if Saints' march towards the Champions League is still on track. Southampton boss Ronald Koeman wants to know by April whether Clyne will sign a contract extension . While Saturday's FA Cup fourth-round defeat to his former club was disappointing, this still looks like being a season to remember given Koeman's men sit third in the Barclays Premier League after 22 matches. It is a remarkable feat considering the doom and gloom which followed the summer talent drain from St Mary's, and Clyne believes they can continue their a top-four tilt. 'Definitely, we're optimistic,' he said. 'We have got a good side. 'We know that we can continue the league form, the good run of form that we're in. 'We had some tough away games, we got the wins, so we're going to start again next game against Swansea.'

West Ham duo Winston Reid and James Collins were able to deal with everything that was thrown at them - with Aguero forced into feeding off scraps during the Premier League encounter. And the Argentina international should have been sent for an early bath for a studs-up challenge on Mark Noble. Sergio Aguero was lucky to stay on the pitch during Manchester City's match against West Ham . The Argentine went in for a challenge on Mark Noble with his studs up . Aguero was forced into dropping deep to try to get involved in the game . Premier League 2014/15 . Appearances: 9 . Minutes on pitch: 618 . Goals: 9 . Shots on target: 22 . Shots off target: 12 . Shooting accuracy: 65% . Chance conversion: 26% . Blocked shots: 9 . Data courtesy of the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index, the Official Player Rating Index of the Barclays Premier League . Aguero looked lively during the opening minutes as the 26-year-old tried to test Hammers stopper Adrian. His effort flashed just wide of the goal but his attempt sent a warning to West Ham's defence - they had to keep a close eye on the Premier League's joint-leading scorer. West Ham's rearguard were forced into stopping Aguero's typically mazy runs on two occasions by simply hacking the striker down on the edge of the box. Yaya Toure was handed the responsibility of taking the subsequent free-kicks but his attempts did not trouble Adrian. His link-up play with David Silva was particularly impressive but he was not allowed the time and space to test West Ham's Spanish keeper. Aguero, who cut a frustrated figure during the first half, should not have even appeared back on the Upton Park turf after the interval as the former Atletico Madrid man swiped at the legs of Noble on the stroke of half-time. Manuel Pellegrini brought on Stevan Jovetic for Edin Dzeko to try to get the best out of his star forward and the substitution seemed to have an immediate effect on City's forward play. Aguero had the perfect opportunity to put City on level terms in the 65th minute when he was played in by Jesus Navas but his shot from close range smashed against the bar. Silva stepped up to the plate after West Ham had doubled their advantage by twisting and turning inside the area before curling the ball past Adrian but the champions were unable to find the equaliser. Aguero tested Adrian on several occasions but was unable to beat the West Ham goalkeeper . The Argentine smashed a close range shot against the bar during the Premier League encounter at Upton Park .

"value": "A Hillsborough style investigation will probe the suspicious deaths of 92 pensioners at a hospital unit accused of 'routinely' administering morphine to elderly patients. The two-year inquiry will focus on the Gosport War Memorial in Hampshire which had higher than expected death rates of elderly patients between 1988 and 2000. Care Minister Norman Lamb announced the investigation yesterday appointing former Bishop of Liverpool James Jones to head the inquiry. Gillian MacKenizie, pictured, welcomed the new independent inquiry which will examine the treatment her mother Gladys Richards received at the Gosport War Memorial Hospital before her death in 1998 . The independent inquiry into the Gosport War Memorial Hospital in Hampshire, pictured, is expected to take two years and will probe the suspicious deaths of 92 elderly patients who died between 1988 and 2000 . A police review into a number of the deaths did not provide enough evidence for prosecution, however and earlier review of clinical practice at the hospital criticised the routine use of opiates while treating elderly patients. Minister Lamb said: 'Following the publication of the Baker Report in August 2013 into higher than expected death rates of elderly patients at Gosport War Memorial Hospital between 1988 and 2000, families have continued to raise concerns about the initial care of their relatives and the subsequent investigations into their deaths. 'In order to try and address their concerns, and having given consideration to a number of alternative options, I am setting up an independent panel to review the documentary evidence held across a range of organisations. 'I have asked Bishop James Jones to chair the panel. Having successfully steered the Hillsborough panel, he brings a wealth of expertise and experience to this work. He has begun to work with affected families, and will continue to do so over the coming weeks and months to ensure that the views of those most affected by these deaths are taken into account.' Gillian MacKenzie, whose mother Gladys Richards, 91, died at the hospital in 1998 after a routine hip opeation welcomed the probe. She told The Mirror: 'I am very happy there is finally to be a full inquiry, but I will be unhappy if it is contained simply to the hospital as there are far wider ramifications involving the police and the General Medical Council. 'It's frustrating that there has never been a criminal prosecution. I want to know why not.' The terms of reference of the investigation will be announced in the Autumn. Prof James Baker's earlier review of the hospital's clinical practice found that the 'almost routine use of opiates' for elderly patients 'almost certainly had shortened the lives of some patients'. Prof Baker said a number of those patients could have reasonably expected to make a full recovery. Care and Support Minister Norman Lamb, right, announced the independent inquiry into the hospital. Dr Jane Barton, left, was found guilty of serious professional misconduct by the General Medical Council in 2010 . The earlier probe found that the hospital routinely used morphine to make patients 'comfortable' as far back as 1988. Commenting on his new role, Bishop Jones said: 'I am aware of the heavy responsibility of accepting the invitation to chair the Gosport Independent Panel. 'My first priority will be to consult with the families so that their views are taken into account when framing the terms of reference. My next task will be to assemble a panel and secretariat with the appropriate skills. 'I have already met with some of the families and will ensure that the panel has regular contact throughout its duration. 'I believe the experience of chairing the Hillsborough Independent Panel will help to equip me in chairing the Gosport Independent Panel. 'Independence and integrity will be the hallmarks of the panel's work.' Gosport MP Caroline Dineage said: 'For the families involved, this has been a long and hard journey. I am pleased that the Government has expressed its commitment to addressing their ongoing concerns and finding out what really happened at Gosport War Memorial Hospital. 'I have always called for openness and transparency - the families deserve nothing less. The inquiry, selected by the families as their preferred course of action, is an important first step in finally bringing closure to this difficult case.' One of the hospital's clinicians Dr Jane Barton avoided being struck off following a General Medical Council investigation in 2010 into her treatment of patients at the hospital during the 1990s. The investigation found Dr Barton guilty of serious professional misconduct and placed 11 restrictions on her registration. Commenting after the hearing, Dr Barton said: 'I am disappointed by the decision of the GMC panel. 'Anyone following this case carefully will know that I was faced with an excessive and increasing burden in trying to care for patients at the Gosport War Memorial Hospital. 'None of the nurses who gave evidence were critical of my care of the patients in this inquiry. 'The consultants who had overall responsibility for the patients never expressed concern about my treatment and working practices. 'Throughout my career I have tried to do my very best for all my patients and have had only their interests and wellbeing at heart.'"

The defender was captain at Carrow Road but fell out of favour towards the end of last season and moved out on loan to Vicarage Road in October. A product of the famed French academy at Clairefontaine, Bassong has also played for Metz, Newcastle United, Tottenham and Wolves. The defender also has 15 caps for Cameroon. In his second appearance in the Footballers’ Football Column, he talks about last season at Norwich, Cameroon’s terrible World Cup and his hopes for the future. Things can go up and down in football really quickly as I discovered at Norwich. Things change. If someone goes and someone else comes in [Chris Hughton was replaced by Neil Adams in April] with a different mindset your situation changes. You can see the difference between the way it was and the way it is. But I've dealt with it. It’s now in the past and I don’t want to go in to the situation again. It is part of my career. Bassong gets to grips with Pajtim Kasami of Fulham in an FA Cup tie with Norwich City last season . Bassong shadowing Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney during a Premier League match at Old Trafford . Bassong celebrates scoring for Norwich at Everton back in November 2012 with Anthony Pilkington . Of course it was disappointing to see Norwich relegated and I was sad not to play in the games near the end. As regards the future, I don’t want to think about it. When the time comes, I will talk about it. I am just enjoying playing regularly, I am grateful for the chance and I want to be 1,000 per cent focused for Watford. It's been so far, so good at Watford. I'm really happy here, especially after not playing for a while. I'm enjoying competing at the top of the Championship. We are an attacking side and when we are performing we are capable of scoring plenty of goals. I don't know what will happen when my loan ends in January. I will talk to Norwich and I will talk to Watford. For the moment, I am just trying to focus and get my rhythm back. Watford have a really ambitious owner who is trying to do good things. Step-by-step we are getting there. We all want to do well and I feel we are on the right path. Bassong (left) in action for new club Watford against Nottingham Forest striker Britt Assombalonga . Watford are flying high in the Championship, one of a cluster of teams with promotion ambitions . It's always difficult when the club is changing managers, as happened at Watford earlier in the season, but as players you have to cope with it and the squad here has coped really well. All you can do is focus - you know what you have to do and that's win games. It’s a bit awkward when you have four managers but this happens in football. It can be very short-term for managers these days. The World Cup left every citizen of Cameroon disappointed about the results and the incidents that happened. It went against the Cameroon culture and you can’t defend what is indefensible. The Cameroonian people could not wait for it all to finish. It was an embarrassment. If I am to get my place back in the national team, I do need a run of games. That didn’t happen for me before the World Cup and I didn’t get picked. But it is not a big deal. Cameroon and the national team is in my DNA and I am always available to them. Cameroon's defence stands motionless as Croatia's Mario Mandzukic celebrates in their 4-0 World Cup win . Alex Song sees red in Cameroon's World Cup group match with Croatia in Manaus . Bassong in action for Cameroon against Denmark at the last World Cup in 2010 . The Championship is a very competitive division. There are many, many teams who could go up. It is very physical and it is demanding because you are often playing Saturday then Tuesday then Saturday. The pace and the level is different to the Premier League. I can understand why many players can struggle with the intensity. At Watford, we are trying to find that consistency week-in, week-out, get back to the top and open up a gap. I did find it physically tough at first as I had to get my body used to playing every week again. With the games so close together, it is important to get enough rest but I like the fact that the busy schedule allows the players to bond. Slavisa Jokanovic came here with a winning mindset, a mindset that suits the club and that is shared by the players too. We play from the back and like to play good football. He’s not against me going forward either! Slavisa Jokanovic has enjoyed a fairly successful start to his tenure as Watford manager . Mauricio Pochettino has found the going tough at Bassong's old club Tottenham this season . Bassong closes out Liverpool's Raheem Sterling during his Tottenham days . It can only improve at Tottenham – they have a great squad and manager. It is 50-50 when someone new comes in and Mauricio Pochettino had an alright start. But things can very quickly change and not go so well. But they’ll get back up there. Chelsea look really, really strong in every area from the goalkeeper to the strikers. They have experience, strength, style and quality. They will be confident they can go the entire season unbeaten but the magic of the Premier League is that there is a long way to go and anything can happen yet. Which defenders do I admire? Raphael Varane at Real Madrid is very, very talented and still so young. I also really like watching Thiago Silva at Paris Saint-Germain. Bassong is a big admirer of the Real Madrid and France defender Raphael Varane . Thiago Silva, of Brazil and Paris Saint-Germain, has also impressed Bassong . Bassong's former Tottenham team-mate Gareth Bale has enjoyed an excellent start to life at Real Madrid . Gareth Bale has had an outstanding impact at Real Madrid. Wow. He is a part of Real now despite the pressure of his transfer fee. For me, his first season was amazing. Few leave the country at all but he did and he is learning Spanish and on the pitch he is just flying. He is doing his part, scores great goals and has had a special impact. There were loads of rumours about the threat of Ebola at the Africa Cup of Nations but it is good that the tournament had now been moved to a safe place for the players and the fans. The likes of Nigeria will always be the favourites but sometimes you can get a surprise – look at Zambia when they won in 2012. I hope that Cameroon can do well, they will go there and try to win it. After the difficulties of the last six months, I just want to stay healthy and play week-in, week-out. If I can stay injury free, I believe I’ll do well and my team will do well. My future is a little bit cloudy and I may have to go back to Norwich. But it’s not in my hands, let’s wait and see. Stay at Watford? Why not. I am enjoying my football here and why would I want to leave when I’m having fun?

The mayor confirmed on Thursday that he had married his fiancee, former beauty queen Sara-Elizabeth Langford, have welcomed a baby girl into the world and the couple couldn't be happier. Maria Kristan Reed was born Thursday at an Atlanta hospital, the mayor's office has confirmed. Loved up: Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed and former beauty queen Sarah-Elizabeth Langford have revealed they're engaged, just three months after making a splash at the 30th Annual UNCF Mayor's Masked Ball at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta in December (pictured) 'Today, Sarah-Elizabeth Reed and I are . blessed to announce the birth of our first child, Maria Kristan Reed,” the mayor said in a statement to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday.

As we celebrate our daughter’s . birth, we ask that you continue to respect the privacy of our growing . family.' Prior to his engagement, Reed was considered one of Atlanta's most eligible bachelors. In March, however, the the popular politician announced that he was off the market after he'd become engaged to his now-wife. 'I . could not feel more blessed that she agreed to marry me, and we look . forward to building a family together in the greatest city in America,' Reed, 44, said in a statement announcing his engagement. 'I . am honored to have our friends and family share this special moment . with us and I ask that our privacy is respected as we celebrate this . personal occasion.' The news of the engagement after years of . speculation that the couple - who had stayed stayed out of the media spotlight despite attending numerous public events together - were headed for the altar. The Bahamas Press broke the story of the engagement after spies spotted the beaming couple dining at the Ocean Club’s Dune restaurant and noticed the impressive rock on 33-year-old Langford’s finger. 'BP almost choked on our steak ’cause we are certain we saw a glittering diamond ring on the Queen’s finger,' the publication wrote. 'News only Bahamas Press can confirm suggests the couple are in the Bahamas and are staying at the beautiful, luxurious Ocean Club on a mini-vacation.' After he proposed, Reed's long-time barber told Atlanta Magazine his client sprang the news on him after returning from his vacation. 'He sprang it on me as he got up out of my chair,' Rick . Walker said. 'He pulled up the pictures to show . me. He looked very happy. I cut his hair just before he . left last week and had no idea he was going to propose.

Observers have noted the union could be the beginning of a political dynasty, as . Langford's father, the late Arthur Langford Jr, was an Atlanta . councilman and Georgia state senator. Langford's mother, Susan Pease Langford, is a former Atlanta City Attorney. Langford is a developer and graduate of the University of Michigan and Howard University . School of Law, Reed’s alma mater. But she made a name for herself as a beauty queen contestant, including winning the Miss District of Columbia title in 2005.

It is not known when the pair first got together, but they are pictured here with singer Usher at the launch of the U-Cast Podcast series in Atlanta on July 25, 2008 . The news brought a rare focus on the mayor’s . private life, which until then had been mainly limited to speculation in gossip blogs. It's not clear when Reed and Langford first got together, but Straight From the A reported in 2012 that it appeared the pair had 'been on for most of 2011'. They were also photographed together at an event with Usher in Atlanta in 2008. The good-looking couple set tongues wagging in 2011 after attending the 28th Annual UNCF Mayor’s Masked Ball together.

Skyfall has 35 continuity mistakes which means the film starring Daniel Craig as secret agent James Bond has come second in a poll of the top ten most gaffe-ridden films of the year. Top of the list is Men In Black III which had 63 errors. Error-prone: Daniel Craig as James Bond in 2012's Skyfall. The film contained 35 mistakes despite costing £100million to make . Skyfall's most obvious blunder happened in the opening car chase scene, the jeep that Mr Bond and a female agent are driving crashes. She knocks out the cracked windshield, but later on, the window appears perfectly in place . In third place is the Hollywood action film The Amazing Spider-Man, followed by The Avengers in fourth. Last night film critic Barry Norman said: ‘If you analyse the number of continuity errors it’s astonishing how many mistakes seem to go under the radar but there’s no accounting for human error’. But Mr Norman, 79, said continuity errors do not hinder the enjoyment of the film. He said: ‘I never really noticed these so called bloopers and I’ve been watching films ever since I can remember. 'To be honest I think the people who pick these things out have far too much time on their hands’. Chart-topping: Men in Black III starring (left to right) Josh Brolin, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, had the most blunders in any 2012 film . Error-strewn: The third film in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy The Dark Knight Rises had 24 mistakes in it . Also on the list is the multi-million pound film franchise The Hunger Games, as well as the final instalment in the Batman series: The Dark Knight Rises. The top ten films with the most mistakes in 2012: . 1. Men In Black III (63) 2. Skyfall (35) 3. Batman: The Dark Knight Rises (24) 4. The Amazing Spiderman (24) 5. The Avengers (22) 6. Looper (14) 7. Prometheus (13) 8. Argo (13) 9. Underworld: Awakening (10) 10. The Hunger Games (10) The errors have been compiled by moviemistakes.com, a website which encourages fans to email in and point out the blunders they notice. Earlier this week it was revealed Skyfall is the first film to take £100million at the UK box office. It is still on general release more than two months after it first hit Britain’s cinemas. And although Skyfall had a budget of more than £100million, it appears not enough of the cash went into the editing and continuity. The most obvious blunder happened in the opening car chase scene, the jeep that Mr Bond and a female agent are driving crashes. She knocks out the cracked windshield, but later on, the window appears perfectly in place. Another error involves Bond’s black lace-up shoes morphing seamlessly into ankle boots while he battles an assassin aboard a moving train. And another mistake involves Mr Craig’s co-star Dame Judi Dench who plays Bond’s boss M in the film. When Bond meets with M in her office, M - who is silhouetted from behind - is wearing one dangling earring and one clip on earring. When the shot moves to a side view, M has two clip on earrings. In the action film Men in Black III, which took £624 million worldwide, a little alien sneaks inside the character Boris’s hand, and at one point his fingers are stretched out in one shot, yet bent a frame later. In another sequence when the character ‘J’ is trapped by the Chinese alien’s tongue, a red napkin magically appears on the counter. Film: The Amazing Spiderman (2012) with Andrew Garfield in the lead roll came joint third with 24 mistakes . Third on the list is the Hollywood action adventure The Amazing Spider-Man, a reboot of the popular comic book series. It had a budget of more than £230million, and grossed in excess of £700million at the box office worldwide. But fans pointed out 24 mistakes in the continuity. In one scene when fighting against the character Lizard in the lab, Peter’s jacket changes randomly from spotless, to covered in dust, to partially covered in dust. And in another scene when Lizard confronts Peter by the lockers, a girl with a blue striped sweater runs by twice between shots. Other films to make the top ten include the final instalment of the Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, which has 24 errors, and The Hunger Games with a total of 10. Gaffes: The Hunger Games, starring Jennifer Lawrence (pictured) was tenth on the list with 10 mistakes ."

"value": "Born out of the Iraqi War in 2003, Islamic State's deadly grip has stretched across the Middle East and into northern-Africa where today, only the Mediterranean Sea separates the militants from Europe. It has conquered regions of Iraq, Syria and recently Libya while building a terrifying support structure in Turkey, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt's Sinai Province, Afghanistan, Tunisia and Algeria. And this tyrannical expansion is all part of its 'global strategy' to seize control of destablised countries while 'engaging in all-out battle against the West,' The Institute for the Study of War told MailOnline. Counter-terrorism analyst Harleen Gambhir said: 'What we've started to see is ISIS has begun to accelerate its operation to activate these sleeper groups that its reaching out to and it's having international effects.' The vastness of its influence went largely unnoticed among the wider public until Sunday when it released a gruesome video showing the beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians on a Libyan beach. Growth of terror: Since its formation as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria in 2013 - it has conquered regions of Iraq, Syria and recently Libya - while building support among marginalised Muslims in Turkey, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt's Sinai Province, Afghanistan, Tunisia and Algeria . The strength of ISIS' control went largely unnoticed until footage of 21 Egyptian Christians being beheaded on a beach in Libya (pictured) emerged . Control: Supporters brazenly show their support for Islamic State in their Iraqi stronghold of Mosul (pictured), which the government is now trying to take back . Expansion: As the West's gaze was transfixed on Islamic State's brutal acts of terror in Iraq and Syria, it was gaining support from marginalised Muslims as far as Kashmir (pictured) on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border . The country's proximity to Europe and its role as a 'hub' for radicalism now poses a 'disaster scenario' according to Middle East and Africa legal consultants Perim Associates. Its Chief Executive Ethan Chorin told MailOnline: 'There is real concern that dynamics in Libya could destabilise neighboring states like Algeria which, like Egypt, has had a long and particularly violent battle with extremism. 'Radicals from neighboring countries have been using Libya as a refuge and a base for operations against their home countries.' ISIS commands 31,500 loyal fighters according to the CIA but a commander of the Kurdish fighters who battled the extremists told the Independent on Sunday that they number closer to 200,000. Its growth in power and territory has been staggering since 2004 when it was known as Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). The group played a prominent role in the violent insurgency against the US and British occupation of Iraq after toppling Saddam Hussein's rule in 2003. After a string of bombings and murders over the next two years, its membership grew to around 1,000 according to the Washington Monthly. AQI then merged with its Mujahideen Shura Council allies in October 2006 to form the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). During the Iraq War which took place between 2006 and 2008, ISI had strongholds in Mosul, Baghdad, Al-Anbar and Diyala and commanded between 1,000 and 2,500 soldiers by late 2012. When it expanded into Syria in April 2013, it finally transformed into the Islamic State of Iraq in Syria (ISIS) as it exists today. Islamic State has now self-proclaimed the Syrian city of Raqqa as its capital, although there have been reports of increased defections. New ground: Its presence in Libya went largely unnoticed - but footage emerged of terrorist group Ansar al-Sharia parading a fleet of Toyota Land Cruisers in Benghazi while carrying Islamic State flags . Europe's doorstep: Islamic State has now gained control of a number of Libyan coastal towns including Benghazi, Sirte, Derna and Nofilia . It was once a rebel group defying the British and US occupation of Iraq. Now other extremists across the Middle East and northern-Africa are pledging allegiance to it. 'ISIS has name brand power,' Harleen Gambhir says. 'What we've seen in a few different places is ISIS ability to transfer new military expertise, explosives planning, new planning to other groups to win over their allegiance and we're seeing that in Libya.' Terrorist organisations inside the country such as Ansar al-Sharia - which has taken control of Benghazi and declared its own Islamic state - also announced its alliance with ISIS in 2014. While Yemen-based militant group Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) - one of Al-Qaeda's most powerful branches - defected to ISIS this month according to US monitoring group SITE. And while it has no confirmed territory in Tunisia, the country has become a breeding ground for ISIS fighters with the Interior Ministry claiming 2,400 citizens had become combatants since 2011. ISIS does control regions in the north and west of Iraq, including Fallujah near the capital Baghdad and its second largest city Mosul. It continued presence in Iraq has forced the West into action, with the US announcing it will train as many as 25,000 Iraqi soldiers to retake it. Fighters in Kobane, northern-Iraq were able to successfully expel the insurgents from its village last month with the aid of Coalition air strikes. But Western aggression only fuels Islamic State's propaganda, counter-terrorism think tank Quillam has said. Fightback: The majority of ISIS' territory lies inside Iraq and Syria but there have been recent reports of defections in Syria, while Iraq plan to retake its second city of Mosul from the Jihadists . Researcher Charlie Winter told MailOnline: 'One of the mainstays of IS ideology is provocation. So air strikes by the Coalition were always going to be interpreted as air strikes by the crusaders. 'What better propaganda can you use to convince people there is a conspiracy against the Muslim world than showing horrible images of children who have been killed in air strikes?' 'Their ability to menace and intimidate the rest of the world is all based on propaganda. If you took away their propaganda, they would not look nearly as dangerous.' In Egypt's Sinai region, which became the centre of a violent insurgency after Hosni Mubarak was overthrown, the Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis militant group has pledged its support to ISIS. As did Algerian-based miltants Jund al-Khilafah - or soldiers of the Caliphate - who swore their loyalty to ISIS after kidnapping and beheading a French citizen in September. Earlier this year, pro-ISIS slogans and graffiti even began to appear on walls in North Waziristan, Pakistan. Local Taliban groups there have considered joining ISIS after becoming frustrated by the army's almost total control in the region, the BBC has reported. Propaganda: Experts say Islamic State's brutal execution videos are designed to entice the West into a war, while more 'inane' videos are planned to build support among 'marginalised Muslims' Exaggerated presence: Counter-terrorism experts also believe the group uses effective and carefully produced propaganda videos to amplify 'the exact amount of power it has in a region' Extremism: Islamist groups in Egypt, Nigeria, Libya and even the Philippines have pledged their support to Islamic State . Although it controls no territory in the country, the New York Times says it has declared an interest in the country and its neighbour Afghanistan - where it has reportedly sent envoys to recruit. Nigeria's Boko Haram publicly declared its support for the Sunni extremists just one month after it established a worldwide Islamic caliphate in June 2014. There have even been reports of guerrilla units taking its brand of brutal militancy to the Philippines, where its spokesperson said: 'We have an alliance with the Islamic State and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.' Experts say the group's recent surge in military support is down to obscure propaganda videos showing the militants fixing roads and planting flowers which are 'enticing' to Jihadists excited about the idea of a global caliphate. It also uses effective and carefully produced propaganda videos which could 'exaggerate the exact amount of power it has in a region'."

"value": "Employees at New York City's Medical Examiner's Office have been accused of sickening abuses of privilege by looking at autopsy pictures and reports of recent high-profile deaths such as Philip Seymour Hoffman and Mick Jagger's girlfriend, L'Wren Scott. According to whistleblowers inside the department, the intimate details of the celebrities last moments and graphic photographs have been sordidly passed around and ME staff not authorized to see the files have been accessing the system anyway. Insider's at the office, which is supposed to keep these kinds of details confidential, have told the New York Post that the practice is rife and that it is relatively easy to pull the information despite efforts to plug the gaps. No respect: It has been alleged that employees of New York City's Medical Examiner's Office have been accessing and looking at the autopsy pictures and files of actor, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Mick Jagger's girlfriend, L'Wren Scott (right, with the Rolling Stone) Philip Seymour Hoffman died of a drugs overdose in February after being kicked out of the family home by his partner and L'Wren Scott committed suicide in March, reportedly in millions of dollars of debt. 'Too many people have access to the files - crime scene photos, autopsy reports - and share it was co-workers,' said an ME souce to the Post. Despite efforts to stop the indiscriminate peeking, the office has failed to prevent the voyeuristic leering because there are 'a million holes' in the ME's operational system. ME spokeswoman Julie Bolcer denied the whistleblower’s claims. Last public pictures: Philip Seymour Hoffman is pictured here in Utah in January at the Sundance Film Festival - two weeks before his death . Tragedy: Philip Seymour Hoffman's body is brought out of his West Village apartment in February . 'Only authorized employees who use our systems for their daily casework have access. There are extensive security measures in place,' she said. This news comes in the week that it was revealed that Hoffman, 46, who died of a drugs overdose in February inside his Manhattan apartment, did not heed his accountant's advice to leave his $35 million fortune to his children. The Oscar winner bristled against any ideas his children would be 'trust fund' kids and in a July 18 filing in the Manhattan Surrogate Court, the actor's accountant David Friedman recalled conversations with Hoffman where the topic of a trust for his children was raised. He said Hoffman wanted his estimated $35 million fortune to go his longtime partner and the children's mother, Mimi O'Donnell. Hoffman was found dead in his Manhattan apartment in February of a drug overdose. Privacy: A medical examiners van leaves The scene outside the Chelsea apartment building on March 17, 2014 in New York City, where fashion designer L'Wren Scott, 47, was found dead from an apparent suicide . Ms Spencer, a costume designer who met the actor in 1999, had reportedly recently kicked him out of the family's $4.2million apartment as he tried to get his drug problem under control. The actor admitted struggling with drug addiction in the past, and reportedly checked himself into rehab in May last year for heroin abuse after 23 years of being clean. According to the filing, Friedman said the Oscar-winning actor treated O'Donnell 'in the same manner as if she were a spouse'. Hoffman told the accountant that he just didn't believe in marriage. The court-appointed attorney says the actor's will should be approved by the court because there isn't anything suspicious about it. Attorney James Cahill Jr., interviewed Hoffman's accountant as part of his court-appointed duties to protect the interests of Hoffman’s children, Cooper, ten, Tallulah, seven, and five-year-old Willa, according to the New York Post. Hoffman also said that he wanted his son to be raised in Manhattan, Chicago or San Francisco, an edict that was written before his daughters were born. Mick Jagger, 71, was devastated when his lover, L'Wren Scott was found dead in her New York apartment in March. An inquest ruled she had committed suicide. At her memorial service, Jagger sang the Bob Dylan classic Just Like a Woman at the service at Manhattan's St Bart's Church."

There are more enthralling ways to spend Friday night in London, but for these players the excitement is all to come. Two down against Chelsea on Saturday, the League One side mustered a glorious comeback, scoring four times to leave Jose Mourinho's hopes of an historic quadruple in tatters and the Chelsea boss talking of being 'ashamed'. But how did this team of free transfers pull it off? Bradford's players celebrate in front of their travelling supporters at Stamford Bridge after beating Chelsea . The League One side were only the fourth side to score four goals against a team managed by Jose Mourinho . Goalscorer Andrew Halliday (centre) and his team-mates enjoy the result on the Stamford Bridge pitch . 4 - Bradford became the fourth opponents to score four goals against a team coached by Mourinho after Barcelona (2010, 0-5), Borussia Dortmund (2013, 1-4) and Tottenham (2015, 3-5). The Bantams are the first team ever to do it away from home. 2008 - The last time Chelsea lost to a lower league team in the FA Cup was against Barnsley in 2008. Jon Stead has scored four goals and assisted four in his last five FA Cup games. 1 - This is the first time Chelsea have conceded more than two goals at home this season in all competitions. £7,500 - Striker James Hanson is the only Bradford player to command a fee, £7,500. In contrast, Chelsea’s starting line-up cost a whopping £101million. 10 - Mourinho’s side have conceded 10 goals in 2015 — only four teams in the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two have let in more in the same period. Former Chelsea winger Filipe Morais has scored three goals and provided two assists in his last five FA Cup games for Bradford. 1958 - Chelsea conceded four goals to a third-tier team for the first time since 1958, when they lost 4-1 to Darlington — the goals coming from Tommy Moran (two), Ron Harbertson and Dave Carr. Parkinson started devising his Stamford Bridge blueprint on Thursday, taking shape and tactical sessions aimed at nullifying Chelsea's threat. Midfielder Filipe Morais said: 'We had an idea they might rest a few players and that gave us more confidence.' Parkinson informed his squad of the starting line-up after Friday morning's training session and they arrived in Kensington at 5.30pm. They sat down for dinner in the plush hotel restaurant at 6.30pm, when players were given a choice of steak, pasta or chicken, and whisper it, a small bowl of apple crumble and custard. With no curfew, players retreated to their rooms to watch Cambridge v Manchester United. Some, though, found themselves switching over midway through the clash at Abbey Road to Channel 5 for some lighter viewing. Those who stuck with the football were impressed by Cambridge's gutsy display in securing a goalless draw. 'They were hungry and I took great inspiration watching them,' revealed Morais. Bradford's soon-to-be heroes were back in the hotel restaurant between 8am-10am for breakfast before congregating in the lobby at 11.30pm for a 10-minute pre-match walk around Kensington. Some did impressions of Jose Mourinho to ease their nerves, while goalkeeping coach Lee Butler — very much the joker in the Bradford pack — did his utmost to keep the players relaxed. Bradford had lunch at the hotel at 11.45am before setting off for Stamford Bridge at 1.15pm. As they got caught in some light Fulham Road traffic they were confronted with a heart-warming ice-breaker as thousands of Bradford fans, enjoying a few pre match beverages, swarmed the coach to provide the loudest of good luck messages. Arriving at Stamford Bridge at 1.30pm, some stayed in dressing room until the warm-up, while others immediately took a stroll on to the pitch to soak in the growing atmosphere. Less than 24 hours before the victory, Bradford watched Katie Price and Co on Channel 5's Big Brother . The League One side stayed in Kensington's Marriott Hotel ahead of the FA Cup clash against Chelsea . Some of the Bradford squad watched Cambridge's draw with Man United and took inspiration from the result . Parkinson re-iterated his side's gameplan in the team talk 10 minutes before kick-off - to break down the flanks, not to run through the middle of Chelsea, to hit diagonal balls into tall forward James Hanson allowing attacking midfielder Billy Knott to pick up second balls, not to press all over the pitch but only in their own half and to minimize any risk taking. Then it was time for Parkinson to inspire; ordering his charges to believe in themselves, convincing them they were fitter than Chelsea. 'We were all in their wishing each other luck, it was really genuine,' said Morais. 'At some clubs you'll see players just tap someone and say 'good luck' and not really mean it. But we were all shaking hands and hugging and we meant it.' Filipe Morais (left) runs away to celebrate after Mark Yeates sealed Bradford's historic win . Former Chelsea midfielder Morais celebrates wildly after finding the back of the net against his old club . Chelsea's players are left dejected after Bradford's stunning comeback in west London on Saturday . And there was even time for one more wise crack when one player's over-zealous attempts to gee-up his team-mates with some rather colourful language prompted substitute Alan Sheehan to tell his team-mate to calm down, prompting a huge ripple of laughter. As they opened the door into the tunnel, Chelsea were already waiting for them. For Morais, who played in Mourinho's first ever game as Chelsea manager, this was a poignant moment. But his attempts to remain focused were scuppered by his old mentor. 'As I come out I hear a scream of: \"Filipe Morais\" in a Portuguese accent. It's Jose,' said Morais. 'I didn't know where to look. I said: \"Hello Mister\" which is gaffer in Portuguese. He shook my hand, gave me a hug and said to me you're 29 now, you're a big man. 'At that time I didn't want to see him because I was so focused. That's just Jose.' Jose Mourinho (right) exchanges some angry words with his opposite number Phil Parkinson . Jon Stead (right) scores for Bradford to make it 2-1 and give the visitors some hope late in the first half . Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech dives to try and stop Stead's effort but comes up short . After the first 39 minutes, you could forgive Morais for fearing that his impromptu reunion with Mourinho would be the highlight of his afternoon as Chelsea raced into a 2-0 lead. But Jon Stead's phenomenal strike before half-time changed the game's complexion. And then came the moment that will remain with Morais for the rest of his life. Here it is in his own words: 'It was an easy tap in but it was crazy. I dreamt about it twice in the week. 'Before the game I thought I wouldn't celebrate scoring against Chelsea. In my mind I didn't know what to do, but my overriding emotion was that I scored for Bradford, they deserve my passion.' 'We could sense the tide was changing, we could smell it,' said Morais. Mark Yeates beats the Chelsea defence and slots home past Cech to make it 4-2 to Bradford . Chelsea boss Mourinho admitted he felt ashamed after Chelsea's defeat by the League One side . Bradford boss Parkinson is hoping to draw Manchester United if they beat Cambridge in a replay . Indeed it was, two more goals and Bradford were legends. Even Mourinho got caught up in the romance of it, making his way into the visiting dressing room telling the players that the achievement could never be taken from them before shaking the all coaching staff's hands. Morais' night ended with Eden Hazard's shirt and a meal in the Marco Pierre White restaurant on the Stamford Bridge site."

The shark show happened at Monterey Beach Harbor, where this type of shark doesn't usually swim. Experts say they're showing up that far north along the California coast due to unusually warmer waters . Tourists can be seen gathering in the dock as the shark swims laps around. 'Adults and children were amazed and intrigued after the lifeguards identified it as a harmless shark,' eyewitness Rachael Zalan told KSBW. 'There was a giant crowd following it as it was cruising in the shallows for a good 20 minutes.' Wildlife experts at the Monterey Beach Aquarium say these juvenile white sharks can usually be found along the coast of southern California and Mexico.

"value": "As far as foreign investors in English football go, Valeri Belokon - a garish tangerine suit aside - is one of the more inconspicuous. But the Blackpool president, widely credited with funding the club’s startling rise to the Premier League, has had enough. In his most revealing interview since buying a 20 per cent stake in the Seasiders eight years ago, Belokon does not hold back in tearing into the running of the crisis club. The Latvian millionaire takes aim at the controlling family, the Oystons, whose stubbornness with new manager Jose Riga saw just eight players contracted to the club three weeks before the Championship season. He implores them to pay back the parachute payments they have taken out of the club and claims ‘some people lose their mind when they’ve got so much’. Blackpool president Valeri Belokon is unhappy with the running of the club under the ownership of the Oystons . Belokon sat down to speak with Sportsmail reporter Jack Gaughan in the Latvian captial of Riga this week . Blackpool fans have long been protesting for owner Karl Oyston to leave the club as their club sit bottom . Belokon is credited with funding the club's rise to the Premier League after buying into the club eight years ago . Belokon claims Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston doesn't care what division the club play in . Blackpool’s recent history is entrenched in bitterness and disappointment at the missed opportunities after striking it rich by winning promotion four years ago. Belokon - speaking in Russian so as to not mix his words - backed supporters protesting against the ownership at Bloomfield Road. Talking at his Baltic International Bank headquarters in Riga, with a Havana cigar nestled between index and middle fingers, he left little unturned. Belokon, 54, announced he has opened legal proceedings against owner Owen Oyston and his son, chairman Karl, over unpaid loans and could lodge a bid to buy the club. He has sounded out a wealthy local investor who wants to partner him if, crucially, the Oystons included the stadium and properties in any deal. Kaspars Varpins, a director at Blackpool, takes a stroll besides Belokon and Sportsmail's Jack Gaughan . Belokon has opened legal proceedings against the Oystons and is willing to buy the club . ‘I wouldn’t be able to do it alone but I’m ready to be a partner. They need to be local. I have to be able to believe in them now I’ve had this experience with the Oyston family,’ he said. ‘Given Karl’s addictiveness to money, it won’t be easy in the short term. ‘It would be fair if they told the fans “we love money more than the club and help us sell”. Karl doesn’t care what league Blackpool play in.’ He added: ‘Soon it will be a point of no return. We asked our lawyers to start requesting a breakdown of the financial information not shown in the accounts over the last five years we are entitled to. It’s a letter before action. They have basically ignored us before now. Blackpool supporters staged a mass walk-out against the owners during October's clash against Cardiff . Current manager Jose Riga began the season with just eight players and the club have endured a poor start . July 2006 - Valeri Belokon buys 20 per cent stake in the club. May 2007 - Simon Grayson’s side promoted to the Championship. December 2008 - Grayson leaves for Leeds. January/February 2009 - Caretaker boss Tony Parkes given money to sign Charlie Adam and DJ Campbell and the club stay up. July 2009 - Ian Holloway appointed and calls training ground a ‘hell hole’ August 2009 - Belokon sets up player trust fund after directors refuse to sanction £500,000 permanent deal for Adam. March 2010 - South Stand - funded by Belokon - is opened. May 2010 - Blackpool reach Premier League via play-off final, with Belokon wearing a tangerine suit. Players are promised shared £5m bonus. November 2010 - Adam wins court case over unpaid bonuses. January 2011 - Blackpool lie 12th in top flight. May 2011 - Relegated. March 2012 - Accounts reveal Oystons paid £11m salaries. Monies transferred to other companies without Belokon’s approval. May 2012 - Lose Championship play-off final. November 2012 - Holloway joins Crystal Palace. January 2013 - Michael Appleton leaves for Blackburn after just 65 days in charge. March 2013 - Last time Belokon flew to Blackpool. July 2014 - Belokon issues open letter to Karl Oyston criticising the chairman, who hits back days later. Jose Riga has just eight players three weeks before new season. ‘I thought I was investing in a club and I feel as if I’ve invested in the Oyston family. We voted against the £11million salary from the parachute money and some other payments. They paid no attention. The only reason Owen would have a salary was for bringing me to the club.’ He laughed but there is more than a tinge of resentment. ‘I’m not angry... I pity. The optimist in me says we can still work but I’m very sceptical now. There are emotions, ambitions and Blackpool has to come first.’ Karl Oyston had argued in 2012: ‘The £11m was paid out as part of sound tax planning - we’re UK-based and believe in paying our taxes but still have to plan sensibly. But, frankly, after the way he has supported the club all these years, if it was an £11m salary to my father, so what?’ Belokon, who asserts he is owed around £9m in direct loans, has not been to Lancashire since March 2013 ‘because they don’t listen’ and has spent a minimal amount on the club over the last four years. ‘They shouldn’t have needed my money.’ Blackpool remain rooted to the bottom of the Championship following Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Reading . Belokon has not been to Lancashire since March 2013 and has spent little money on the club in recent years . The partnership began fruitfully. Then manager Simon Grayson was backed in order to keep the team in League One and won promotion the following year. The foreign money man set up a modest ‘player fund’ to alleviate problems the Oystons were enduring when bringing in new faces. Belokon claims Ian Holloway was ready to resign two months into the job after initially being told he couldn’t sign Rangers’ Charlie Adam for £500,000. Adam was purchased through the fund and became a major factor in their promotion. ‘It’s likely we wouldn’t have reached the top without this trust fund,’ said Belokon. ‘We agreed I would take 70 per cent of sales from players bought through the fund but I changed. I took 30 per cent and gave the club the rest from the sale of Adam.’ He alleges the club asked him to plough more money in to fund players after Adam left for Liverpool: ‘Maybe it was a joke... But I think Karl thinks I’m stupid. If you love something you’re stupid.’ Ian Holloway, pictured after winning promotion in 2010, was ready to resign from the club after just two months . Belokon smiles and applauds following Blackpool's 3-2 play-off final victory against Cardiff at Wembley . It was a swelteringly hot day at Wembley against Cardiff in the Championship play-off final when Belokon overtly showed what an exuberant character he can be. The tangerine suit. ‘I made a promise to wear the suit. We had 10 days after the semi-final and the tailors all said no. I had it made quickly by those in the theatre here in Riga.’ Fans still buy into that ebullience but the Oystons less so. In an open letter posted on the club’s website in July, Karl slammed Belokon for asking for £24m. The latter said that figure is ‘out of context’ - that he never asked for that to be taken from club funds - and said the suggestion he was involved in money laundering in Kyrgyzstan was ‘nonsense’. The case was thrown out on Friday by an arbitration tribunal, and the Kyrgyz government was ordered to pay more than £10m for seizing his ‘Manas Bank’. The purchase of Charlie Adam was made through a 'modest player fund' set up by the club's Latvian president . Adam played a huge part in the club's promotion to the Premier League and netted in the Wembley final . Belokon had initially flown to the Fylde Coast to flog his brand of beer in the hope they would stock it on matchdays. The joke goes he was so bad at selling that Owen enticed him to spend £1.8m on shares. ‘When I came it was a very similar situation to now. It’s symbolic - the first time I arrived there were fans carrying an “Oyston out” banner,’ Belokon added. ‘Owen joked that I shouldn’t pay attention. He said “out” was his last name. ‘I fell in love with Blackpool. I received different proposals to buy other English clubs but this is about heart and soul - I can make money elsewhere. I have no other club. Belokon insists he wants to stay with Blackpool but is not prepared to invest in the Oyston family . ‘Owen can reverse this situation if he wants but there is a small chance of that. We would have the strength to achieve what we did before.’ What Belokon regrets is the extra millions he poured in for no return. He was responsible for the building of the Jimmy Armfield Stand and has never seen any of the profits the new structure yielded. ‘Investment for football is good but this has all gone to their family,’ he said. ‘I want to stay with this club but don’t want to invest in the Oyston family. You can spit on the fans but if they do it to you, you might drown.’ Blackpool were unavailable for comment."

He scored his first goal for the Potters, his third Premier League club, in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Southampton. Before you read his second Footballers' Football Column, check out his video… . In football you have to be ready to make changes quickly and that has happened to me. I have moved from Cardiff to Stoke and this is a new chance to make a mark, to show what I can do. I like what I am seeing so far. I have only been here a short time but already it feels comfortable and I’m happy. The gaffer, Mark Hughes, is a man I like working with. His team talks, before and during matches, are very good. He is a passionate man who knows how to get a point across. He doesn’t join in with training too much, but every now and then the ball will come near him and he’ll do something – he can still hit a great volley! I also like his tactics. We are playing some very good football and doing well, even if the Premier League is crazy this year. It is extremely competitive. But the manager has been calm about it. He knows what he wants us to do and we are doing it. When you have that clear idea of what a manager wants it makes changing team much easier. I scored against Southampton and that helps too – it’s always important to get going fast. City slicker: Peter Odemwingie (left) swapped Cardiff City for Stoke City in the winter transfer window and is loving life under Mark Hughes (right) at the Britannia Stadium . The style of football is important. I must admit I was frustrated at Cardiff. I enjoyed being there, with a really nice group of players and good people as well. But the style of football under Malky Mackay was not really right for me. It was effective in the Championship but not in the Premier League. We played a lot of long balls and sometimes we didn’t really have wingers. As a striker, you can get isolated that way. The spirit in the team was excellent, though. I stay in touch with Steven Caulker by text and I look forward to seeing the boys when we go there to play in April. But that is football. Things change and you move on. Finishing touch: Southampton's Artur Boruc (left) is unable to stop Odemwingie's effort during the 2-2 draw . Bluebird buddy: Odemwingie has maintained his friendship with Cardiff captain Steven Caulker, here celebrating his goal against Swansea with Kevin Theophile-Catherine . For me, football is always more important than just liking a place. I wanted to move on for the sake of my football. There is a hassle that goes with it that maybe people do not understand. You go through the process of leaving a place, finding a new home, getting settled in. Luckily for me, my wife is very supportive. Her and I and our baby have moved into a small apartment for now and we will move into our old house in the summer. I still have a house in the Midlands from my time at West Brom and there is a player on loan currently living there. We’ll move in during the summer. My wife is expecting another boy in June so it is an exciting time for our family. Stoke is probably a better fit for me in a football sense. We play the ball to feet more, which is great for me. And more often than not I am playing off someone, rather than being the target myself. It suits my game more. It creates more shooting chances and that is what every striker wants. I hadn’t had a proper shooting chance in a while before the Sunderland game so to get that sight of goal and then to score felt great. These things matter to a striker. The whole place feels good right now. Stoke have this brilliant training ground, and that is good when you are a player. It is where you go to work every day. And the medical team is very good, very professional. When I arrived, I was having cramps at first because I had not been playing 90 minutes – I had been getting taken off in games at Cardiff. Now I am feeling sharper and up to speed again. The Premier League has been crazy so far. I have been around it for quite a long time and I have not seen it quite like this before. Normally, you have some idea of who is going to win and who is going to go down. There are maybe a couple of teams in the top half of the table who look like they will stay where they are. The other 18 are moving all the time. It is intense. What's the Mata? Odemwingie clips the heels of Manchetser United signing Juan Mata during Stoke's 2-1 win at the Britannia . The screamer: Odemwingie reacts to missing a chance v Southampton . A few weeks ago you would have looked at the table and thought Crystal Palace and Sunderland were going down. Now look at them. New managers have come in and totally changed their circumstances. Then you have Fulham, who were struggling quite badly and then they get a draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford. It is hard to say what will happen. The top of the table is more exciting than it has been for years. As a player, you find it quite stressful but also very exciting. There is so much on every game. Even now, at the start of February, it feels like the games mean so much. If you go four or five games without winning you are going to be in huge trouble. If you go four or five games without losing, you will jump up the table. I think this next month will be crucial."

"value": "An ancient stone monument marking the grave of a king’s nephew who inspired one of the greatest love stories in British history is to be moved - to make way for a housing estate. The 'Tristan Stone' was erected 1,500 years ago, reputedly to show the final resting place of Tristan, whose forbidden affair with the beautiful Irish princess Isolde has inspired poets for centuries. But a council has now given a developer permission to move the stone, described by English Heritage as 'a significant scheduled monument', to a nearby field so that they can build a housing estate and park and ride next to the site. Testament to doomed lovers: The Tristan Stone in its current site in Cornwall . Local campaigners are furious at Cornwall Council's decision to move the 5th Century stone from its spot outside Fowey so that Wainhomes can begin development work there. Bert Biscoe, a member of Cornwall Council's cabinet, said: 'Such desecration is the equivalent . of Napoleon shooting at the Sphinx for target practice.' The developer plans to build 80 homes as well as a park-and-ride on the land close to the A3082, and have been given permission as long as they move the seven-foot high stone monument to a nearby field. Mr Biscoe, condemned the decision to shift the ancient obelisk as 'cultural violence' and one of the 'worst attacks on heritage in the world'. He said: 'How dare anybody . presume to shift it without good reason? Building a mundane houses in . its vicinity is not good reason. Ancient relic: The Tristan Stone is 1,500 years old . 'It’s an infringement of the cultural integrity of Cornwall; it is cultural violence.' Cornwall Council confirmed permission for . the homes had been granted subject to agreement on a number of issues, . including the relocation of the Tristan Stone. A spokesman for Wainhomes said moving the stone was a condition imposed on the company. He said: 'We would be quite happy for . it to remain where it is and we are simply responding to concerns . raised during the planning process.' According to legend, Tristan was killed by his uncle, King Mark of Cornwall for falling in love with his Irish wife, Isolde, also known as Isolde. Tristan, a Cornish knight, is said to have fled Cornwall a number of times, often going into hiding with Sir Lancelot, one of King Arthur’s Knights Of The Round Table. According to one of several versions of the legend, he eventually died (different versions have different culprits) and is said to have been buried in a field near Fowey, Cornwall, close to the stone monument. The love story later inspired poems by Biroul, Thomas of Britain and Gottfried von Strassburg and the opera Tristan und Isolde by Richard Wagner. Touching history: The story of Tristan and Isolde is one of the greatest romances in history . Forbidden lovers: James Franco and Sophia Myles in the 2006 film Tristan and Isolde . New site for the stone: This is where Cornwall Council want the developer to relocate the stone to . The story of Tristan, a Cornish knight and Isolde, or Iseult, an Irish princess, is an ancient Celtic legend that became popular in the12th Century through French medieval poetry. Several versions of the tale exist. One popular telling of the story has Tristan defeating an Irish knight and bringing back the beautiful Isolde for his uncle, King Mark, to marry. Tristan and Isolde unwittingly drink a love potion on their way back from Ireland and fall in love. One version of the legend says the potion's effects last a lifetime, another says just three years. Isolde has to marry King Mark, but she and Tristan seek each other out as lovers because of the potion. After evading several attempts by courtiers to entrap them, the lovers are eventually shown up to the King who sentences them to death. In one version, King Mark poisons Tristan while he is playing the harp to Isolde and she is so upset that her lover is dying, she begs him to crush her to death so they can die together, which he does. In another version, Tristan escapes on his way to the gallows and rescues Isolde, but the pair are later caught. King Mark agrees to pardon Tristan if he hands Isolde back to him and goes abroad, and Tristan goes to France where he marries another girl simply because she is called Isolde. Years later he is poisoned by a dart and can only be saved by the first Isolde. The second Isolde tells him the first one refuses to come, and he dies in despair. Isolde arrives to heal him and dies swooning over his corpse. Mark . was a king of Kernow (Cornwall) in the 6th Century, the son of King . Felix of Cornwall who died after a raid on his castle at Tintagel by the . King of Ireland. After this drama, the relationship between the two kingdoms was shaky, and Ireland demanded protection money from Cornwall. When King Mark refused to pay, he sent his nephew Tristan to fight . him, and bring back the beautiful Irish princess Isolde to be his wife. The story begins when Tristan and King Mark's intended drink a love potion on the way back. In various versions of the story, King Mark discovers his nephew is . cuckolding him with his wife, tries a variety of schemes to stop the . lovers or to catch them out, and eventually his suspicions are . confirmed. One telling has King Mark ordering his nephew to be hanged, and his wife to be banished to a leper colony. Another version has him as a villain who rapes his niece and . murders her when she has his child, and yet another has him murdering . Tristan with a poisoned dart while he plays the harp for Isolde. The Tristan Stone bears a Latin . inscription believed to refer to King Mark. It says: 'Drustans hic . iacet Cunowori Filius' which translates as 'Here lies Tristan, son of . Cunomorus'. It is believed this refers to Tristan and King Mark, who was also known as Quonomorus, or Cunomorus. Again there are various versions of how King Mark met his own end . but he is believed to have been murdered by Sir Bellangre le Beuse, a . grandson of his murdered brother."

In his post-match television interview, the hat-trick hero confessed it was so long since his last treble that the protocol had escaped him. 'I forgot the match ball, didn’t I? But I’ll get it after,' said Welbeck, and he soon had the souvenir tucked under his arm. 'My last hat-trick was probably for Manchester United reserves. This is the first of my professional career.' VIDEO Scroll down to watch Mathieu Flamini: We're very lucky to have Danny Welbeck . Danny Welbeck (right) collected the match ball shortly after Arsenal's win, in which he scored a hat-trick . Danny Welbeck became the third Arsenal player to score a Champions League hat-trick.

Stats courtesy of Opta . He became only the sixth Englishman to score a hat-trick in the Champions League and with four Arsenal goals for the season has already overtaken his 2014 total for Manchester United. His third of the night, seven minutes into the second half, brought Arsene Wenger to his feet as the manager celebrated his 18th anniversary of joining Arsenal with an emphatic win to put them second in Champions League Group D. The victory could not spoiled by a red-card for goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, for a foul which allowed Burak Yilmaz to score Galatasaray’s consolation goal from the penalty spot. Alexis Sanchez scored the other for the Gunners. The Gunners striker lifts the ball over Fernando Muslera to bag his first Arsenal hat-trick . Welbeck (above) celebrates scoring his third goal of the game against Galatasaray . 'I’m playing up front trying to score goals and get opportunities and tonight it paid off and I got the three goals,' said Welbeck. 'The manager has shown a lot of faith in me and I’m delighted to pay him back. He has given me a chance to play football up front in my preferred position and I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that he is happy.' Asked for his pick of the three, he said: 'The last one I think, because I was stretching for it. I’ve been in that position a few times and chipped the keeper and sometimes it goes in and sometimes it doesn’t. Today I've seen him coming him out and he slid in.

Welbeck became the sixth Englishman to score a Champions League hat-trick. The others are: . Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen, Andy Cole, Alan Shearer and Mike Newell . Wenger hailed Welbeck’s contribution. 'The potential is there and hopefully this hat-trick will help him to gain confidence,' said the Arsenal boss. 'We had good pace and good movements and our finishing was good and Danny was on the end of a few. 'It helps always to know that you have a good chance to play the next game. His link up play is good as well his work-rate and his attitude is positive. He’s a team player, not only a finisher. He wants to help the team. 'I’ve learnt he’s a good finisher. I believe technically he’s very sound. That was a surprise, he’s technically clean and that he’s a good passer of the ball. I didn’t know he was so quick, honestly. I knew he was quick. But he can be electric when he starts.' Wenger (above) commended Welbeck for his work-rate, attitude and link up play ."

"value": "Monday, January 17, 1966, will forever be a day of embarrassment for the US Air Force, and one of infamy for the village of Palomares on Spain’s Andalucian coast. It was on that day that a giant B-52 bomber from the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, North Carolina, was completing a 24-hour global patrol at the height of the Cold War. Nestling in the bomb bay was a deadly cargo: four 1.5 megaton Mark 28 thermonuclear hydrogen bombs, each about 70 times more powerful than the atomic bomb that devastated Hiroshima. Devastating: On January 17 in 1966, two US Air Force planes collided mid-air and dropped four nuclear bombs over Palomares on the Andalucian coast . On the last leg of the flight towards home, during refuelling at 31,000ft with a KC-135 tanker, disaster struck. An official investigation later concluded that the B-52 overran in manoeuvres to hook up with the trailing fuel boom and rammed the tanker. There was an explosion and a huge fireball engulfed both aircraft. All four men on the tanker and three of the bomber’s crew died instantly. Four others managed to eject before plunging into the sea where they were rescued by Spanish fishermen. And the H-bombs? Mercifully there was no detonation. But while one splashed into the Mediterranean and a second drifted down on its parachute and landed intact in a dried-up river bed, the remaining two bombs split open upon impact, scattering plutonium and covering the tomato fields of Palomares with a fine and deadly radioactive dust. The rest of the world has mostly forgotten – or simply doesn’t care. Today’s holidaymakers are as oblivious to this brush with Armageddon as they are ignorant of the ancient history of these beaches where Hannibal’s war elephants once landed. The reality, however, is that Spain’s so-called Costa Bomba is scarred for ever – and that the toxic legacy is getting worse, not better. There are 1,600 residents in this tiny farming and fishing village, half of them expatriate British, and they are understandably alarmed about the vast acres of ‘no-go’ farmland where, even now, men in masks drill deep down to search for the decaying remnants of H-bombs. No go area: A sign warns against entering one of the still-contaminated areas near the village of Palomares . Deadly legacy: American sailors recover one of the H bombs, still wrapped in its parachute, that fell into the sea, in April, four months after the crash . They are dismayed that America’s promises to clean up the mess they made have never been fulfilled, despite continuing pressure from the Spanish government. And they are furious that while America has fined BP £2.5 billion for violating US environmental and pollution laws after the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, it has so far paid the residents of Palomares a pittance of £353,000 for the ruination of their livelihoods and, quite possibly, their health. The nuclear accident was not on the agenda when US President Barack Obama met Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy in January, despite assurances made by the American Secretary for Energy, Ernest Moniz, that he would personally ‘look into the matter in detail’. ‘The Spanish government has been negotiating with the Americans for years without success to return and get rid of the radiation threat,’ said 70-year-old Ken Lee, originally from Stock, near Chelmsford in Essex, who now lives near Palomares. ‘It’s alarming when more hot spots keep being found that blight the land on which the farmers depend for their livelihood.’ His wife Carole, 71, added: ‘We’re disgusted at the way the Americans have been bullying the British over the Mexico oil spill disaster. ‘There’s little sign of that “special relationship” and no sign of President Obama fulfilling the promise to clean up the H-bomb mess in Palomares.’ Georgette Hurcomb, another local expat, who is from Islington, North London, said: ‘America’s lack of effort to come and clean up the nuclear poison is a disgrace. Many farming families have given up and left because they’re banned from growing crops in certain areas.’ Indeed, the passage of time has only made the problem more deadly still. Nearly five decades on, the plutonium has degraded to become americium, a substance that emits lethal alpha particles. ‘I would be very surprised if local people haven’t suffered already some increased risk of cancer, or leukaemia or lymphoma,’ explained British scientist Dr Christopher Busby. ‘They should be very concerned. ‘In 1966 it wasn’t appreciated how dangerous this stuff was. Then the emphasis was mainly on external radiation and gamma doses. But after years of research, we know that internal radioactive particles, like plutonium, are singularly hazardous.’ Dr Busby, who serves on the European Committee on Radiation Risk, said: ‘Hot particles would burn a hole through your gut causing colon or lung cancers, or if they were small enough would pass through the lymphatic system causing lymphomas and leukaemia.’ Environmentalists accuse Spanish and American scientists of secrecy about health checks among Palomares residents. Each year 150 are sent to Madrid for physical examinations. The Spanish government claims only small levels of radiation have been detected though in several cases plutonium has attached itself to their bones. ‘I think the public has a right to know if this disaster has had consequences for their health,’ said Francisco Castejon, of Ecologists in Action. ‘The type of radiation now being emitted after almost 50 years is totally different.’ It is true that, back in the 1960s, America originally spent more than £10 million recovering the intact bombs from the Mediterranean and the dried-up river bed. The authorities shipped out 4,810 barrels of radioactive soil for burial at the Atomic Energy Commission headquarters in Charleston, South Carolina. More radiological ‘hot spots’ have recently been discovered around the village and sealed off, along with a large area right in the centre of the village and others by the local cemetery and in neighbouring Villaricos. In nearby foothills, where lettuce had been grown for many years, Spanish scientists have made a grim discovery. Masked and wearing protective clothing, they were drilling to establish whether alpha particles had leached underground into the water table. Instead they located two trenches 30ft wide and 100ft long emitting high radiation levels. They also found the area was contaminated with americium, the disintegrating product of plutonium. Buried here are thought to be remnants . of the two H-bombs that broke open and wreckage of the two planes that . collided and crashed. At . some point, and at massive expense, the debris will have to be dug up . and shipped across the Atlantic back to the United States as it should . have been in 1966. America . stands accused of secrecy about the location of the trenches. US . Department of Energy officials admit knowing about their existence, but . not exactly where they are, claiming no proper notes or maps were kept . back in the 1960s. Now the governments in Washington and Madrid continue to squabble over the best way forward. Scientists . from CIEMAT, the Spanish Centre for Energy, Environmental and . Technology Investigations, want a complex three- year plan that would . involve vacuum-sealed tents and compacting contaminated soil and debris . into bricks. The B-52 bomber from the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, North Carolina, has been on global patrol over Europe loaded with ur 1.5 megaton Mark 28 thermonuclear hydrogen bombs when it collided with a tanker mid-air . It’s an operation that could cost more than £20 million. The Americans disagree, saying the fastest and most cost-effective solution would be to shovel the debris into barrels and ship them out for burial in South Carolina. But the scientists concede that once the land has been surgically cleaned, radiation will still persist and still have to be monitored. Plutonium is one of the most toxic materials and as it degrades into americium it takes 24,400 years for even half of a given amount to dissipate. This is the reason why, since 1966, air monitors have been installed in and around Palomares, crops and animals are regularly examined, and why over 1,000 villagers have had to undergo more than 4,000 physical examinations. Although test results have never been made public, they reveal that five per cent of those screened by doctors are carrying plutonium in their bodies, which is attached to their bones. However, none of the villagers affected have been told about this, only that their annual medical check-ups are satisfactory. After 20 years, an estimated 75 per cent of the plutonium will remain in their bodies. The official view has always been that the population was exposed to only small levels of plutonium. There are suspicions, though, that some of those in the area died young after the H-bombs fell. Some farmers and their families have spoken about deaths from cancer and other mysterious illnesses following the accident. General Franco, the Spanish dictator, was in power at the time and medical records were destroyed or suppressed. He was enraged that the disaster should threaten what was then the country’s fledgling tourism industry. Today, two of the H-bombs, battered and bruised, rest in peace thousands of miles away at the US Atomic Museum in New Mexico, safely stripped of their lethal plutonium contents. The original decontamination involved 7,000 American troops who burned crops and scraped up three inches of topsoil. As is now all-too clear, however, the operation was far from complete. After almost half a century, Palomares’s nuclear nightmare is set to continue – for centuries to come. Christopher Morris is a former BBC TV News correspondent and author of The Day They Lost The H-Bomb."

"value": "Britain has more rapists in jail than any other EU country, research shows. There were 5,408 prisoners serving rape sentences in England and Wales in 2013, compared to 3,600 in Germany, 2,287 in Spain and just 2,034 in Italy, a report by the Council of Europe reveals. The figures could be attributed to tougher sentencing guidelines, higher reporting rates and more 'progressive' rape laws, according to women's charities. Leading: There were 5,408 prisoners serving rape sentences in England and Wales in 2013, compared to 3,600 in Germany, 2,287 in Spain and just 2,034 in Italy, a report by the Council of Europe reveals . The number of rapes in Britain hit a record high in 2013 - with more than 35 women attacked every day according to the latest official figures, released in October. While this accounts for between just 20 and 25 per cent of rapes committed, the government claims - others place the estimate at 10 and 15 per cent - it is still higher than other European countries. Reporting rates in Germany fall at roughly 11 per cent, according to a study published by the Criminological Research Institute of Lower Saxony, in Hanover, Germany, in 2011. While in Italy, 92 per cent of rapes are not reported to police, according to the 2009 UN Secretary-General’s Database on Violence against Women. This higher reporting rate in Britain means that there are more opportunities for the offenders to be prosecuted, convicted and jail - contributing to the larger number of rapists in jailed. Sarah Green, Acting Director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition, said: 'The relatively high sentencing rate for the UK does not necessarily indicate that there are more rapists here. 'Progressive': The Director of Public Prosecutions, Alison Saunders, said last month it was time to move past 'no means no' when investigating rape . 'Only about 10-15 per cent of rapes are reported to the police in the UK but this rate is still one of the highest in Europe and means more perpetrators are prosecuted and then sentenced.' Numbers of rape cases coming to court in the past two years in Britain have also risen by 30 per cent. Of the cases sent to prosecutors for trial in 2012/2013, around 60 per cent result in convictions. However, this represented a drop on 3 per cent from the previous year. Tougher sentencing guidelines are one of the reasons there could be a higher number of Britons jailed for rape than in other European countries. Between 2005 and 2011 - the most recent set of data available - there has been an increase of 20.1-month increase in the length of sentence for raping a woman. It is now more than eight years. The average sentence for raping a man rose by 28 months over the same period to more than eight years. Ms Green added that the law on rape in the UK, which based on a definition of the absence of consent, is 'clearer and more progressive than many other countries'. Last month, the Crown Prosecution Service announced a major overhaul to the way rape cases are investigated, saying it was time to move past 'no means no'. The Director of Public Prosecutions, Alison Saunders, said she wanted police to ask suspects how they knew the alleged victim was saying yes, and was doing so 'freely and knowingly'. The CPS wants to tighten the law against offenders who target people incapacitated through drink or drugs, or where the alleged rapist holds a position of power over the victim. Questions on consent should also be raised where the complainant has mental health problems or learning difficulties, it was said. Tougher sentencing: Between 2005 and 2011 - the most recent set of data available - there has been an increase of 20.1-month increase in the length of sentence for raping a woman. (Above, file image) This means it can be more straightforward for the CPS to convict rapists - and increases the chance of them being sentenced to time in prison. Ms Green noted: 'Some other countires are still examining rape as though it must involve physical force and resistance for example which is not the case here.' But, she added: 'The fact is that the UK's reporting rates are still very low and we also still fail to ask the question about what survivors of rape want in terms of justice and for support services - there is no guarantee of long-term counselling and support here. There's a long way for all EU states to go.'"

"value": "Towards the end of his press conference at Arena Corinthians yesterday, Louis van Gaal was asked by a presenter from children’s television whether he thought youngsters in Holland should be allowed to stay up for Wednesday's game against Argentina. Van Gaal can be an obtuse man but on this he was unequivocal. ‘I would always allow my children to watch the match because this is absolutely unique,’ said the Holland coach. ‘Look at the impact of the World Cup at a global level - and this is a semi-final. VIDEO Scroll down for All Star XI: Lionel Messi highlights . Playful: Holland coach Louis van Gaal believes children should be allowed to stay up back home to watch the game . Ready: Holland face Argentina in the World Cup semi-final on Wednesday in Sao Paulo . ‘Most children are on holiday and they won’t sleep anyway because they will be so stressed and tense. I would strongly advise parents to let them watch the match.’ In Holland, they are just glad to have these decisions to make. This was supposed to be a World Cup of limited horizons for Van Gaal and his functional (his own word) team. Yet, here we are and the Dutch are still in town, preparing for a classic fixture to conjure memories of the 1978 final - won by Argentina in their own country - and a 1998 quarter-final, won by Holland in Marseille. Those games, of course, featured defining contributions by genuine superstars. Mario Kempes scored the opening goal in Buenos Aires while Dennis Bergkamp settled the meeting in France with perhaps the best goal of his stellar career in the final minute. Tonight in mild, damp Sao Paulo, we have the opportunity to witness greatness once again. The deposed World Footballer of the Year, Lionel Messi, has approached this month in Brazil as if intent on proving people were wrong to give this year’s title to Cristiano Ronaldo. So far, he has done a pretty reasonable job and without him Argentina would certainly no longer be here. Celebration: Dennis Bergkamp is overjoyed after scoring the winning goal against Argentina in 1998 . Plan: Van Gaal says that he has prepared the way to play against Argentina and Lionel Messi . Ball skills: Wesley Snejder in training ahead of Holland's World Cup semi-final with Argentina . Moving on up: Quarter-final penalty hero Tim Krul (centre) and Van Gaal (right) walk out for training . Even Messi, though, would struggle to shift Holland’s Arjen Robben as player of the tournament in most people’s minds. The Bayern Munich forward has taken his game to new levels in South America and it is perhaps not surprising that Argentina appear to be approaching this game with some rather rudimentary ideas about how to stop him. ‘We have to be aggressive, to show the passion of the Argentine players to the Dutch - and especially to Robben,’ said Manchester City defender Martin Demichelis. ‘He doesn’t like physical contact, so you have to make him feel it and get under his skin. He is a phenomenon but he’s not got much edge, he’s not a fighter. Therefore you have to attack him.’ Demichelis and Robben played together at Bayern in 2009-10. Maybe the South American hasn’t been watching his old club mate closely out here, however, as the Robben of summer 2014 has shown as much courage as any forward in this tournament. Last Saturday, four of Costa Rica’s back five were booked for crude, hacking fouls on Robben. Still, he strode forward. If Argentina are to stop him tonight, they will need to find a cuter way. ‘It’s ridiculous how much he is fouled,’ said Dutch midfielder Nigel de Jong. ‘They foul him because they can’t find another way. He is too good for most.’ VIDEO All Star XI: Lionel Messi highlights . Dangerman: Van Gaal says that his team have a plan and must be prepared for Lionel Messi . Star: But in Arjen Robben Holland arguably have the player of the tournament so far . Stretch: Robben has shone in Brazil and has only got better as the tournament has progressed . It may seem rich to hear members of Holland’s derided 2010 World Cup final team moan about treatment afforded one of their own, given the way De Jong and others kicked the Spain midfield all over Johannesburg four years ago. Certainly, they will seek other ways to neutralise Messi on Wednesday. Van Gaal’s Holland are different in their approach from the team shaped by Bert van Marwijk and yesterday the current manager did his best to play down questions about Barcelona’s magician. ‘We are playing against Argentina and we always refer to teams and not individual players,’ said Van Gaal. ‘We have a plan ready for Argentina. We showed the players Argentina this morning. Messi was once elected best footballer in the world. There’s a reason for that. If you score so many goals, you have an added value. ‘At the most important stage he can always pull it off but in principle he’s always found it difficult to show that at an international level. He wants to do that at this tournament and we want to stop him doing that, so that’s going to be quite a challenge.’ Focused: The Holland squad train ahead of their World Cup semi-final with Argentina . Team talk: Van Gaal talks with his players during their training session in Sao Paulo . VIDEO Team Profile: Netherlands highlights . Dutch training contained some surprises on Tuesday as De Jong, struggling with a groin injury, joined in and Robin van Persie, who had a stomach bug, did not. We can expect the latter to start, however, and he is already looking ahead. ‘Playing against Argentina is not a dream,’ said Van Persie. ‘It doesn’t interest me at all. We just have to win. A dream is to grab hold of that cup.' Dutch confidence is clearly high. Parents in Amsterdam and beyond should perhaps start planning ahead because if they win they will face their rampant German rivals on Sunday."

Christine Crow, 83, was banned for life from her local branch after bosses claimed she was a ‘bully’ who had rammed staff with her trolley. Grandmother Christine Crow wants an apology from Tesco for 'humiliating' her after they accused her of bullying their employees . Mrs Crow, a widow, was banned after she was frog-marched from the store by security staff. They claimed that following an . incident at the deli counter months earlier she had been verbally and . physically abusive on subsequent visits and had used a trolley ‘as a . weapon’ and intimidated staff. It is understood she is accused of targeting one employee on more than one occasion. Mrs Crow, who lives in the Birmingham suburb of Moseley, a mile from the store in Hall Green, denied the accusations and is now demanding an apology. She has complained about being snubbed by staff and humiliated. But Tesco is standing by its decision with one worker, who asked not to be named, claiming a colleague refused to go on the shopfloor while the pensioner was there. The pensioner was ushered from the premises by two managers and a security guard . 'It's a trumped-up charge,' protested Christine last night. 'Bullying? You must be joking. 'Admittedly, the trolleys can have a mind of their own. You bump into someone else's and apologise, but 'ramming' suggests a deliberate act.' The drama unfolded at the deli counter of the Stratford Road store months ago when Christine, originally from Yorkshire, spoke out over slow service. She admits being 'sharp'. 'I may have said, \"is there no one serving?\". 'I've served customers myself,' said the former school meals supervisor. 'You don't always like the customer, but you get on with it.' Relations between Christine and staff soured following that skirmish, though she denies berating workers or attacking them with her trolley. She was informed of the ban in December - when she was ushered from the store. 'It was very humiliating,' she told the Birmingham Mail. 'When they said I'd been banned for bullying staff, I replied, \"you must be joking.\". 'People were walking past with eyebrows raised. They thought I was a shoplifter.' Christine had used the store for 15 years but is now getting her groceries from Waitrose, Hall Green. The pensioner said: 'I will never go to the Tesco store again, but I want an apology.' Her daughter Alison Walker, aged 54, has demanded to see in-store CCTV evidence of the trolley attacks from Tesco but it has not been provided. Not welcome: Christine had used the store for 15 years but is now getting her groceries from Waitrose . She admitted: 'Mom's born and bred in . Yorkshire and they're renowned for straight-talking, but I have never . heard her swear or be rude in my life.' But a Tesco spokesperson said: 'The well-being of our colleagues is very important to us and we have spoken to our customer several times to make her aware that we cannot tolerate abusive behaviour. 'Decisions to ban customers from stores are not made lightly and follow a full investigation. 'We are in touch with the customer and her family, and she is, of course, welcome to shop at other Tesco stores in the area.' Mrs Crow says the trolleys 'have a mind of their own'"

"value": "The League Cup has always been used by Manchester United as a chance to showcase their academy graduates. And with Louis Van Gaal facing an injury crisis in defence ahead of Tuesday night's second round tie at MK Dons, a 22-year-old right-back called Marnick Vermijl could be pressed into action. But who is he? Here's our lowdown on the young Belgian. Name: Marnick Vermijl . Age: 22 . Club: Manchester United . Position: Right-back . Getting stuck in: Manchester United's Belgian right-back Marnick Vermijl (right) slides in on Liverpool's Kristoffer Peterson during last Friday's Under 21 Premier League encounter at Anfield . Why all the fuss? Van Gaal faces a bit of a headache as he makes his team selection for the tricky-looking trip to Milton Keynes as United enter the League Cup at the second round stage for the first time since 1995. Chris Smalling limped off with a groin injury in the first half of Sunday's Premier League draw at Sunderland and is unlikely to make it, while Rafael is also a doubt. New signing from Sporting Lisbon Marcos Rojo hasn't received his work permit in time to make his debut and so United are struggling a little for men at the back. Enter Vermijl, who could be in line to make his first United start in two years at stadium:mk, most likely alongside Jonny Evans and fellow academy graduate Michael Keane. Selection dilemma: Injury problems could force Louis Van Gaal to field an untried back line at MK Dons . Forced off: Chris Smalling picked up a groin strain in United's draw at Sunderland on Sunday . Too soon: New £16m signing Marcos Rojo hasn't received a work permit in time to play . The 22-year-old has waited some time since his United debut, which came on September 26, 2012 when he played 77 minutes in a League Cup tie with Newcastle United. It was a campaign in which Vermijl appeared in the United squad on other occasions - twice in the Champions League and at Chelsea in both the League Cup and FA Cup - but didn't gain any further time on the pitch. Now, having gained more experience during a season-long loan with Dutch side NEC Nijmegen, it looks as though he will have another chance to impress. What's his background? Vermijl was born on January 13, 1992 in Peer, a small town close to the Dutch border in the north of Belgium and joined the academy of Standard Liege at the age of 16. With United's scouting network well established in the Low Countries, Vermijl was picked out despite not making a senior appearance for the Belgian top flight side. His delighted dad revealed the news of his contract at Old Trafford in 2010, after a £250,000 compensation payment had been agreed with Liege. 'They said he was the best right or left-back they had seen in years,' Dirk Vermijl told Het Laatste Nieuws. Shadowed: Vermijl keeps a close check on Liverpool's Cameron Brannagan during the U21 game . '[Sir Alex] Ferguson told me that Marnick in the following years would become a fixture in the Manchester United squad.' Ferguson and then-reserve team coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had clearly seen potential in him, as they had in his compatriot Ritchie De Laet. And he made an immediate impression when he scored twice, playing in a more advanced position, in a pre-season friendly with Shamrock Rovers. Part of the attraction had been Vermijl's ability to play right across the back four, or even on the right side of midfield, but he quickly settled into the right-back role. He became a mainstay in United's reserve team during the 2010-2011 season and picked up a winners' medal in 2012 when United defeated Aston Villa on penalties. His consistent displays in the reserves led to Ferguson calling him up to the first-team squad for the first time in the League Cup last 16 tie at Aldershot on October 25, 2011. He didn't feature in the 3-0 win, however. The following season was another encouraging one for Vermijl, with his handful of first-team squad selections balanced with a leading role in United winning the inaugural Under 21 Premier League. He scored one and created another in the Old Trafford final against Tottenham, inspiring a United comeback from two goals down to win 3-2. Under 21 coach Warren Joyce shortlisted him for the club's Reserves' Player of the Year award, capping a fine year. Battler: Vermijl goes in for a challenge with Sheyi Ojo during the 1-1 draw at Anfield . Going Dutch . With the departure of Ferguson and the arrival of David Moyes at the start of last season, Vermijl was sent out on loan to NEC in Holland, where he was a regular starter at right-back. He performed well, with three league and one Cup goal during the season, which unfortunately culminated in relegation from the Eredivisie for the Nijmegen club. His performances resulted in a call-up to the Belgium Under 21 side, but Moyes seemed indifferent to the young player. In March, Vermijl's agent said his client's future would depend on whether Moyes remained at Old Trafford. 'If the manager stays, then it does not look good because he let Marnick go quite easily to NEC. 'If Moyes is sacked, it may open greater chances.' As we all know, Moyes was shown the door and Vermijl, who has one year left on his contract, is back in the frame at United, with Van Gaal keen to assess what he can do. He played a full 90 minutes in the Under 21 side's 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield last week and could now be set for another first-team chance, especially if the injury crisis worsens. Where does he play? As mentioned, Vermijl is a right-back, or the right-sided operator in Van Gaal's hallmark 3-5-2 formation. But in his younger days, he was more of a forward or a winger and so isn't afraid to get forward in support of the midfield if necessary. One of his main attractions when United first signed him was his versatility and, if required, Vermijl could slot in right across the back line. Like our dedicated Manchester United Facebook page. Out on loan: Vermijl spent last season with Dutch club NEC Nijmegen to gain experience . Strengths and weaknesses . Vermijl is well-regarded for his consistency and, in the Dutch league at least, was seldom found wanting by speedy wingers. If beaten, he possesses the pace to recover position and is a reliable winner of the ball in the tackle. During his campaign in Holland, he received just one booking. If he is to be part of Van Gaal's team, he'll have to show quality going forward and he does have a decent quick-step to get beyond defenders and a fairly good cross. One thing that was exposed in the Eredivisie, however, was his passing, with too many balls going astray. International honours? Yes, Vermijl has been capped by Belgium at every level from Under 17 to Under 21. In all, he has 43 caps for Belgium across the various standards and has scored five times."

"value": "A New York City plastic surgeon pleaded guilty to killing a former model during a botched liposuction procedure on Wednesday in return for only two-months behind bars. Dr. Oleg Davie, 53, ignored the medical records of Isel Pineda which showed she'd undergone a heart transplant in 2004 performed by TV's Dr. Oz and falsified forms after her death to cover up his mistakes prosecutors said. The disgraced surgeon pleaded guilty to a charge of criminally negligent homicide and falsifying records after originally being charged with manslaughter for Pineda's death in 2012 which would have carried a prison term of up to 15 years. Death: Isel Pineda should never have been on the operating table having had the transplant in in 2004, making it unsafe for her to be given anesthesia . Pineda, 51, paid $3,200 for the procedure, described in online ads as being to 'lose the wobble'. She went into cardiac arrest before leaving Davie's office. Paramedics tried to revive her but she was declared dead at Coney Island Hospital. Guilty: Oleg Davie, 52, pleaded guilty to a charge of criminally negligent homicide . 'You knew she had a heart condition but you performed the surgery anyway, didn’t you?' prosecutor Patrick Cappock asked in Brooklyn Supreme Court. 'Yes,' Davie answered. According to The New York Post, Davie, who surrendered his medical license last year, was unapologetic to the victim's family when he left the courtroom on Wednesday. 'What happened here is tragic but not criminal,' said his lawyer, James DiPietro, who added that the deal was 'inherently fair'. He noted that his client would have faced 15-years behind bars if he had decided to fight a manslaughter charge. Instead he admitted to changing Pineda's records after she died and admitted he did not speak to her cardiologist despite knowing she had undergone a heart procedure. Davie, who was on probation at the time of Pineda's surgery for 'professional misconduct' deleted all mention of her heart transplant and medication after the unsuccessful SmartLipo operation. Paperwork found in Pineda's purse by her boyfriend suggested Davie knew about her heart disease and resulting life-saving operation that made her unsuitable for liposuction. Tragedy: Isel Pineda died before she left Dr. Davie's New York City practice in 2012 . On it were details of the diagnosis and the anti-rejection rejection drugs she was taking. 'This woman should not have been operated on — period,' a top plastic surgeon told the New York Post. 'You don’t screw around with people like this. If he knew she had a heart transplant, he should have shown her the door.' Davies appeared to have ignored the health issues when filling out Pineda's patient history form, on which he clearly marked 'no' where it asks whether she had ever been hospitalized. Heartbreak: 'She was stunning. She would walk into a room and the music would stop,' said Pineda's ex-husband . He wrote that she had a 'mid-chest, old, well healed' scar, describing it as resulting from 'skin surgery' to remove a 'cyst'. Pineda's scar would have stretched from the neck to her navel. And while her family believe she didn't tell them she was having lipo due to embarrassment, she was never shy about discussing her heart transplant. Last year her ex-husband, Jeffrey Mayer said, 'She was stunning. She would walk into a room and the music would stop,” adding that seeing Davie “brought all the pain and all the realness back.'"

But that's exactly what awaits those bold enough to dive in Mexico's Cenote Angelita. The eerie landscape of swirling mist looks like a flowing river in the middle of the cave, complete with trees emerging from the surface. Deep below the surface on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula lies a secret tree-lined river flowing in a water-filled cave . The Cenote Angelita - which translates as 'little angel' - is a diver's delight, but can only be attempted by advanced scuba divers . The swirling mist looks like a river marks the bottom of a 90ft pit - but it's merely the halfway point in a difficult dive . The phenomenon can only be seen in person by extremely skilled scuba divers who can cope with exploring the depths of the 180ft pit. For those who aren't, photographer Anatoly Beloshchin filmed his exploration of the cenote - a cave created by the collapse of limestone bedrock which then fills with water - to show the drama of the moment the river comes into sight. Angelita, which translates as 'little angel', lies about a ten-minute drive from the Maya city Tulum, on the east coast of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. Cenotes were often used by the Maya for sacrifices and Angelita has certainly retained its mystique to the present day. For the first 90ft of the dive, adventurers are swimming through fresh water with a clear view of the inside of their surroundings before the 'river' appears below. The mist is actually a thick layer of . hydrogen sulfide, about 6ft deep, which is caused by the clash between . the fresh water at the top of the cave and the salt water that fills the . bottom half. The trees and discarded branches emerge from the depth, but are sitting atop a pile of rubble left when limestone bedrock collapsed to create the cenote . Divers can swim along the 'river' or be more daring and make their way through the cloud of hydrogen sulfide into the salt water below . The scenes, captured by diver and photographer Anatoly Beloshchin, easily look like a secluded forest instead of the middle of a water-filled cave . The chemical compound is often created when the . bacterial breakdown of organic matter happens when there's no oxygen . around and dissolves, according to BookYourDive. It looks like the end of the journey but is only the halfway point of the exploration. Divers can switch on their lights and find their way through the relatively short distance before emerging into the salt water. Those who weren't aware that the pictures were taken underwater could easily believe they were looking at a secluded spot in the middle of a forest. The trees and branches lie on top of the collapsed rubble which fills nearly half of the pit, leaving a narrow passage down the side. Mr Beloshchin said: 'Under me I see a river, island and fallen leaves… Actually, the river, which you can see, is a layer of hydrogen sulfide.' Cenote Angelita was formed by a rock collapse which created the 180ft pit containing fresh water and salt water, as well as the river effect of the hydrogen sulfide . The cave can be found a short drive from the Maya city Tulum on the east coast of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula ."

"value": "He's the Australian jihadist who, in between swearing to cleanse the world of infidel non-believers, apparently sees a lighter side in the Islamic State's barbaric war. Zia Abdul-Haq, a militant from Logan, south of Brisbane, who is fighting for IS in the Middle East, has purportedly posted a series of videos on YouTube with titles such as 'funny terrorist video part 1' - as well as Twitter images of militants cuddling cats, playing video games and training with assault weaponry. Terrorism experts said the often jokey social media posts proved the immaturity of some Westerners who have taken up arms fighting for the so-called 'caliphate'. Scroll down for video . Pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State (IS): Zia Abdul-Haq, from Brisbane, is pictured in a variety of social media posts. '#Mujahid crime! The cat love this young #French mujahid': Abdul-Haq posted this sarcastic caption alongside this picture of a purported French jihadist patting a small cat. Down time? Abdul-Huq captioned this image, of apparent militants wearing military fatigues, as 'jihadists having fun =)'. Their location is unknown. Abdul-Haq, who also goes by the name Abu Yusseph, has posted a number of images making light of IS's sinister reputation. A picture of a French IS fighter stroking a cat is captioned sarcastically: '#IS crime! The cat love this young mujahid (fighter)'. In another, he mocks the idea IS is cruel by showing fighters cutting up a dead animal and labelling them 'IS crimes'. Two militants are seen horsing around in Abdul-Haq's 'funny terrorist' video series, with one militant mimicking one of U.S. President Barack Obama's video greetings to the global Islamic community. But some of the material is much more chilling. 'Every #IS #mujahid needs to carry a big knife for slaughtering the enemies. It's more fun to slaughter :-)', reads one of Abdul-Haq's posts. 'May our blood become a flood to clean this world from all types of (non-believers)', said another. And while there is little evidence he has actively fought in the conflict zone, one message represented threatened Australian troops: 'Media propaganda is only to prepare the way for Australia and the West to send troops to fight , we hope to give them a good welcome'. Professor Greg Barton, from the Global Terrorism Research Centre at Monash University, said Abdul-Haq's posts showed that many IS fighters were 'juveniles' who did not understand the gravity of what they were doing. Pretending to be Barack Obama: With his head covered by black cloth, militants are caught on camera imitating the U.S. President. The videos were posted to YouTube by an account purported to belong to Abdul-Haq. 'Funny terrorist part2': The straight to the point caption on Abdul-Haq's apparent YouTube video. Weaponry: This image of ammunition and an assault weapon is one of many pictures posted to social media by the jihadist. 'Training': The militants. Few images are posted where any of the militants' faces are evident . The Abbott government revealed last month that it feared around 60 Australians were fighting in the Middle East. 'For the most part, they're young idiots,' Prof Barton told Daily Mail Australia. 'We're dealing with young men doing foolish things, driven by peer pressure and a desire for affirmation.' He compared it to teenagers posting images on Facebook in order to attract high numbers of 'likes'. He said the militants posted jokes - and gruesome material - to get attention. 'I think it's generally true for (their) social media posts that what we see reflects a fairly juvenile mentality,' he said. 'There's not a lot of deep reflection on religious themes or agonising over moral choices'. Ali Kadri, a spokesman for the Holland Park mosque which Abdul-Haq occasionally visited for Friday prayers, told Daily Mail Australia Abdul-Haq did not appear to have an aggressive personality. 'He wasn't that kind of person. I remember him as a shy, quiet kind of person'. In recent months, the Islamic State - which is also known by the names ISIS and ISIL - has not hesitated in showing the gruesome lengths it is willing to go to in prosecuting its war. In the past month, the group's media arm has released videos depicting the beheadings of two Western journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff. Australian militants Khaled Sharrouf and Mohamed Elomar also sparked international condemnation after they distributed images of themselves - and Sharrouf's seven-year-old child - brandishing the heads of decapitated Syrian fighters. Gruesome: The Islamic State have released videos of two U.S. journalists being beheaded in the past month. Khaled Sharrouf's seven-year-old son, pictured wielding a head. Abdul-Haq, who also goes under the identity of Abu Yussuph, has in recent days tweeted about how 'proud' he is to fight for the Islamic State. 'I never been part of any group / organisation in Australia or anywhere else, but I am proud to be part of #IslamicState', he said. Abdul-Haq also denied claims he was 'brainwashed' by Australian preacher Musa Cerantonio into taking up arms for the Islamic State, labelling them 'media lies'. 'No one brainwashed me,' Yusseph wrote on Twitter on Wednesday. 'Don't believe media'. Cerantonio said the allegation was unsubstantiated. Abdul-Haq did not respond to a request for an interview. In July, Cerantonio was arrested by Philippine authorities and deported to Australia, just weeks after he tweeted that he had arrived in the Middle East to join his brothers in the Islamic State. 'Al-Hamdulillah I have arrived in the land of Khilafah in Ash-Sham! May Allah honor all Muslims during this blessed time with His obedience,' he posted on Twitter at the time. On August 17, Abdul-Haq posted an image of fighters in the Middle East watching a video of Cerantonio. 'Mujahideen (warriors) in Ash-Shaam watching Musa Cerantonio's talks #IS #ISIS #jihadist #caliphate #Khilafah'. Cerantonio was approached for comment. Abdul-Haq's social media presence remains active. Preacher: Musa Cerantonio."

"value": "Manchester United’s £59.7million signing Angel di Maria is set to break the British transfer record. It’s a switch far removed from the one which took Alf Common south from Sunderland to Middlesbrough in 1905, for the then princely sum of £1,000. Common was British football’s first grand star and he was the country’s most expensive player for six years. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Cristiano Ronaldo flick Angle di Maria the V in training . Transfer: Angel di Maria's transfer from Real Madrid to Manchester United will become a new record . It took 23 years for the first player to cost £10,000 when David Jack – a scorer in the first FA Cup final at Wembley – moved from Bolton to Arsenal. The magic £100,000 barrier wasn’t broken until the early 1960s, when Denis Law returned to England from Italy, with United paying £115,000 for the striker. Trevor Francis became football’s first million pound player in 1979 as he joined Nottingham Forest from Birmingham City. However, despite scoring a European Cup final winner he never quite settled at the City Ground and was later shipped off to Manchester City for another hefty fee. Thanks a million: Trevor Francis (left) was the first £1m British player and scored a European Cup-winning goal . Midfielders such as Bryan Robson and Roy Keane have been the subjects of the record transfer fee but it is generally strikers for whom the big bucks are paid. But that was blown out of the water in 1996 when Alan Shearer joined his boyhood club Newcastle United from Blackburn Rovers for a staggering £15m. Just five years later, this record was nearly doubled as Argentina midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron signed for Manchester United from Lazio. He was one of the stars of the world game but, after a lively start at Old Trafford, flopped spectacularly. Talk of the Toon: Alan Shearer broke the record in 1996 when Newcastle paid £15m for him . Record: When Chelsea paid £50m for Fernando Torres he beat the old record by more than £10m . In 2002, Sir Alex Ferguson broke the record once more at United and this signing was a big shock in terms of positioning as centre half Rio Ferdinand was bought from Leeds United for just over £29million. Andriy Shevchenko became British football’s first £30m signing in 2006 but possibly the most surprising fee paid for any player was the £35m forked out by Liverpool for Andy Carroll in 2011. His record at Anfield never came close to justifying the fee. It may be a blessing for Carroll that he held the record for a matter of hours as later on that same January day, Fernando Torres joined Chelsea for £50m. It has become a symbol of the folly of spending big towards the end of a transfer window. United must be hoping Di Maria ends up more like a Cole or a Shearer than a Carroll or a Torres. Disappointment: Juan Sebastian Veron was below par for Man Utd, despite being a record transfer signing ."

Traditionally a sprinters’ stage, the finale on the Champs-Élysées was little more than a celebration for Nibali, or eight laps of honour, at the end of which Germany’s Marcel Kittel claimed his fourth win ahead of Norway’s Alexander Kristoff. Over the three weeks Nibali comprehensively dominated, and might have done so even if Chris Froome and Alberto Contador had not crashed out. The Sicilian conquered the hills of Yorkshire – winning in Sheffield – excelled over the cobbles and mud of northern Europe, then won in all three mountain ranges, in the Vosges, Alps and Pyrenees.

The Castleford centre wondered if he would ever get the chance to play on the international stage again after his last tour was cruelly cut short by an ankle-ligament injury sustained in the opening game. Shenton was forced to fly home early from the 2010 Four Nations Series in New Zealand and he missed the following year's tournament with an elbow injury sustained in the Grand Final. Michael Shenton is tackled by New Zealand forward Simon Mannering during the 2010 Four Nations Series . That came during a largely forgettable spell at St Helens and it took a return to his home-town club to get his career back on track. The Tigers skipper forced his way back into the thoughts of England coach Steve McNamara after rediscovering his sparkling form during his club's landmark season in which they reached Wembley and went within one game of topping the league for the first time in their 88-year history. However, Shenton, now 28, will be forgiven if his mind wonders back to the events of four years ago when he runs out for his 10th cap against Samoa at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium on Saturday. 'It came to an end pretty bad,' he recalled. 'I thought it was going all right out there as well. Shenton has thrived under the guidance of coach Darryl Powell at the Castleford Tigers this season . 'We played the Maoris in the first weekend, then the Kiwis down in Wellington and I did it there. It was not a good feeling to be honest. 'Once your chance like that goes, you wonder if you'll ever get another. The next year I did my elbow in the Grand Final and there are some really good young players coming through in the position I'm playing so it's been a long road back.' Playing for England was the last thing on Shenton's mind back in February as he and coach Daryl Powell set about trying to prove the critics wrong for writing off Castleford's Super League play-off chances but before long he found himself being asked about his international prospects. 'I had so much on with the club, I didn't think about it too much at the start of the year,' he said. 'It was totally at the back of my mind but I spoke to Daryl about it and he said it should be a goal of mine. 'He worked on my game and it paid off. It was awesome to get back in the training squad in mid-season and then I got told about six weeks ago when they were going to name the squad. 'Leading into that week, our season had already been finished and I was pretty nervous. I was thinking 'I'd love to go on tour' and I would have been really disappointed not to get in. The elation and relief was pretty special. It's great to get another crack at it. 'I think I'm a better player all-round to be honest. I've never enjoyed my rugby as much as I have this season, I've really had a great time and played in a team that suits the way I like to play. 'I have a lot more responsibility and I think that helped. Also, I've got a better understanding of the game as I've got older. 'I think I'm a more well-rounded player to tour than I was last time.' Shenton ousted Huddersfield's Leroy Cudjoe from England's World Cup squad and got the nod for the left-centre berth for Saturday's opening game ahead of Wigan's Dan Sarginson. McNamara said: ' I think everyone is pleased for Michael. 'Michael didn't lose his way as such but it didn't quite happen for him when he moved from Castleford to St Helens. It was a bold move to go back to Castleford and re-invent himself. It takes a special player to overcome adversity.'"

"value": "The Obama administration conceded on Thursday that its vaunted Affordable Care Act enrollment numbers from last year were inflated by a whopping 400,000. That's how many dental insurance plans were included in the final number when the White House boasted in September that 7.3 million Americans had signed up for medical insurance through government-managed marketplaces. The dental plans should not have been lumped into the overall total because they represented people who also had purchased medical insurance, effectively double-counting them. Including the dental policies was a break from previous practice that Republicans suspect was a scheme to push the administration's numbers over the 7 million mark. That the number the Congressional Budget Office had projected would be needed in order to keep the program financially viable. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell told Congress in September that 7.3 million Americans had medical insurance through Obamacare, but 400,000 of that total was quietly double-counted by including dental plans . Rep. Darrell Issa (right) presides over the powerful House Oversight Committee, which uncovered the numerical sleight-of-hand on Thursday . Trouble in Washington: The Obamacare law is increasingly unpopular, according to a recent Gallup poll . Staff investigators at the House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee uncovered the ruse, which the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services quickly called an honest mistake. CMS spokesman Aaron Albright confirmed the White House's use of creative math on Thursday. In May the administration had claimed more than 8 million people enrolled in Obamacare plans during the open-enrollment period that ended March 31. That number later fell to 6.9 million after more than 1 million were dropped from the rolls – some because they never paid their premiums, and others because they couldn't prove their legal resident status. With the 400,000 dental plans added in, the administration had the 7 million it needed for PR purposes, and to keep skeptical GOP opponents at bay. 'Faced with large numbers of Americans running for an exit from Obamacare, instead of offering the public an accurate accounting, the Administration offered numbers that obscured and downplayed the number of dropouts,' said House Oversight Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, a California Republican. 'Now they’re saying this was just a \"mistake.\" The claim that this was only [an] accident stretches credulity. The administration misreported Obamacare’s enrollment figures not once, but twice.' The news that the White House may have cooked Obamacare's books comes at an awkward time, after a series of videos surfaced depicting Jonathan Gruber, the law's architect, explaining how Democrats used deception to get it past Congress. In one video he credited 'the stupidity of the American voter' for the success of a ruse that recast large tax increases as penalties on insurance companies. Those costs are passed through to customers, rendering the result the same as if it were officially a tax. Second time's the charm? Obamacare is open for enrollment again through March 31 . Economist Jonathan Gruber, Obamacare's main architect, was caught on video candidly discussing the level of deception the Administration needed in order to pass the law in Congress . Former Congressional Budget Office director Douglas Holtz-Eakin told Bloomberg that 'the No. 1 most effective message against the Affordable Care Act is [that] they lied to you to get it through.' 'People believe that years now after its passage. The distrust is already there, and they’re doing nothing but exacerbate it.' Issa, who will hand over his committee gavel to Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz in January, demanded action. 'HHS must provide a clear and detailed account of who knew about this decision and when they knew it,' he said in a statement. 'This administration still appears to be calling its Obamacare transparency plan from the Jonathan Gruber playbook: dismissing the American public’s right to know with the same deceptive arrogance that helped them pass the bill in the first place.' On September 18, CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner told the Oversight Committee that her agency had '7.3 million Americans enrolled in the health insurance marketplace coverage.' Five days later Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell told a Brookings Institute audience that '7.3 million people signed up for marketplace plans, paid their premiums, and have access to affordable care.'"

"value": "By LUCY ELKINS . Do you know a health hero? The Daily Mail, in partnership with Boots and ITV's This Morning, is asking you to nominate special people in the health-care sector who have made a real difference to your life or a loved one's. To nominate your health hero, click here . Here, LUCY ELKINS tells one nominee’s story... Sitting beside her husband Peter as he slipped in and out of consciousness, Kay Hutchinson struggled to think clearly. Peter, 64, had had bone-marrow cancer for the past four years, but suddenly his condition had taken a rapid turn for the worse. Grateful: GP Janet Walker, left, has always been there for Kay and her family . He’d been at home for three weeks following a five-month spell in hospital - during which time his health had rallied. But overnight he'd become so ill that he'd stopped responding to Kay's voice. 'He was sleepy then he wouldn't wake up at all,' recalls Kay, 64, from Middlesbrough. 'I didn't know what to do for him or how to cope. It was frightening being on my own with him when he was so unwell.' To her huge relief, the couple's GP, Dr Janet Walker, turned up unexpectedly at their front door. She had been making frequent out-of-hours visits to keep an eye on Peter, and on that particular day last October she'd popped by after surgery had finished for the morning. In fact, Dr Walker had been on hand, day and night, to help the couple cope with several major traumas over the past decade - including the sudden death of their only daughter when she was just 30 years old. Here she was again to give medical help and emotional support when they needed it most. Dr Walker examined Peter and explained that he was suffering from dehydration. Because Kay felt too worried to keep him at home, the GP said she'd get him into hospital to be put on a drip. Not only that but she'd try and get him on a ward at the town's James Cook University Hospital, where he was known by staff - not on an impersonal general admission ward. Kay says: 'Nothing is too much trouble for Dr Walker. She told me she would go to the surgery and sort it out and come back.' Despite the fact the part-time GP should have finished work for the day, she returned and stayed with Kay for six hours while they waited for an ambulance to take Peter to hospital. 'She talked to me throughout,' says Kay. 'I was sitting on the sofa, crying, and she sat on the floor in front of me holding my hand. If she hadn't been there, I don't know what I would have done. Beyond the call of duty: Dr Walker has helped Kay through some tough times . 'She has the most wonderful, calm manner. As soon as she came into the house, I felt supported and able to cope again. She told me, \"You know he's very poorly Kay.\" She was trying to gently prepare me for the end. 'We had no way of knowing when a hospital bed would become available or when the ambulance would come but Dr Walker told me not to worry - she would stay with me. 'She was here a very, very long time, and at one point she said, \"Do you mind if I just phone home to let my family know I’m OK?\"' Dr Walker waited with Kay until the ambulance arrived at 8pm. 'Then she gave me her home number and said, \"I'm on holiday next week but if you need anything just call me.\" ...She listened to us and talked to us for . ages. I was crying and she got up and gave me a big hug and told us she . was there for us if we needed anything . 'I was amazed and touched. I called her on the Sunday and she was absolutely lovely and answered all of my concerns.' It was, says Kay, typical of the care Dr Walker offers her patients. Kay remembers when, eight years ago, her daughter Lisa died inexplicably of a pulmonary embolism - a blood clot in the lungs - and Dr Walker went out of her way to support Kay and Peter. 'Nothing prepares you for the pain of losing a child,' says Kay. 'Just six weeks after Lisa died, Peter was due to have heart surgery but we thought it all might be too much for us so we went to see Dr Walker to discuss whether we could delay it. 'She was lovely and took a long time with us. Then she called us at about 8pm, long after she should have gone home - to talk to us some more about how we were feeling and to tell us why she didn't think the surgery should be delayed. Unsung heroes: Nominate your medical saviour . 'She asked us to come back the next week so that she could see how we were. And she told us to make the appointment for when the surgery had closed, so we could go in when it was empty rather than sitting in a room full of people, as she knew we were still so upset. 'She listened to us and talked to us for ages. I was crying and she got up and gave me a big hug and told us she was there for us if we needed anything.' Then, four years ago, when Peter was diagnosed with cancer - a type called multiple myeloma - Dr Walker emphasised she was there for the couple whenever they needed her - not just when the surgery was open. 'When we found out Peter had cancer, I was in pieces and couldn't stop weeping,' says Kay, who has a son, Paul, now 41. 'Seeing how upset we were, Dr Walker said we should go back after the surgery had closed, so she would have the time to take us through what would happen next.' During the next few years, Peter was treated by a number of 'fantastic' nurses and doctors - 'but none as outstanding as Dr Walker', says Kay. 'She has such compassion, and that type of kindness makes a big difference when you are going through the pain that we were at that time.' ...I am Evelyn's full-time carer and I get . on and do it, but it's a lot to cope with and I don't know what I would . do without Dr Walker . After being admitted to hospital for dehydration last October, Peter, a former process operator for the oil industry, was transferred to a hospice. Yet even though he was out of Dr Walker's care, she still checked on the couple. 'She kept ringing us at the hospice to see how we were, which was very, very comforting,' says Kay. Peter died on November 20, and Dr Walker phoned Kay as soon as she heard. 'She's never off-duty - you know she really does care,' says Kay. It's for these reasons that Kay has nominated Dr Walker for a Daily Mail Health Hero award. And Kay's not the only patient who's been overwhelmed by the GP's compassion and dedication. Jacqueline Jowsey, 75, who’s had several major health problems, including a heart attack and failing kidneys, says: 'It is so amazing how Dr Walker bothers to keep tabs on you. She has even called me at 9pm to see how I’m doing.' Three years ago, when Jacqueline had heart surgery, she was told by the hospital's nurses that 'Dr Walker was always ringing to make sure everything was OK'. Her surgery's hours are 8am-6pm but she often sees patients well outside these times. Colin Robinson, 82, whose wife Evelyn is ill with cancer and has had two strokes, says: 'Dr Walker often calls us in the evening to see how things are, and she'll pop in on her way home to check we are OK. You'll never hear her say she hasn't got time. 'I am Evelyn's full-time carer and I get on and do it, but it's a lot to cope with and I don’t know what I would do without Dr Walker. She is an amazing doctor. 'She will sit down and talk to us, all the time holding Evelyn's hand - making her and me feel much more reassured.' Despite being so highly praised by her patients, Dr Walker - who is 43 and married with a 13-year-old daughter - insists she does 'nothing unusual'. Talking to her, it's clear to see why her patients admire her - her soothing, warm manner shines through. She tells me: 'It's deeply flattering that Kay has nominated me for this award - but really I just do my job. 'Yes, I spent a lot of time with her when we were waiting for her husband to go into hospital, but I couldn't have left her.' But Kay, who deeply misses Peter, says: 'You do get through these things - you somehow find the strength - but I don't think I would have coped if it hadn’t been for the support of Dr Walker. 'Without her this would have been so much worse. She's not just a GP - she's a woman with such a very big heart.'"

Stunned scientists made the discovery after drilling a small hole through the Ross Ice Shelf, which covers an area the size of France. They spotted the sea creatures in an area of remote seawater 33ft (10 metres) deep, sealed between the ice sheet and the seafloor. Scroll down for video . Resilient fish have been found living in darkness beneath a 2,430ft (740 metre) thick sheet of Antarctic ice . 'I'm surprised,' Ross Powell, a glacial geologist from Northern Illinois University told Douglas Fox at Scientific American. 'You get the picture of these areas having very little food, being desolate, not supporting much life.' The discovery of fish in waters -2°C and perpetual darkness poses new questions about the ability of life to thrive in extreme environments. The expedition had initially wanted to analyse the stability of the Whillans Ice Stream, which is one of about a half-dozen large, fast-moving rivers of ice pouring from the West Antarctic. The discovery of fish in waters -2°C and perpetually dark poses new questions about the ability of life to thrive in extreme environments. 'You get the picture of these areas having very little food, being desolate, not supporting much life,' Ross Powell, a geologist from Northern Illinois University told Scientific American . Pictured is the drilling site. The expedition had initially wanted to analyse the stability of the Whillans Ice Stream, which is one of about a half-dozen large, fast-moving rivers of ice pouring from the West Antarctic . When ice drillers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln peered beneath the region, they initially didn't believe it could hold life. But over several hours, they spotted 20 to 30 fish and lowered a camera into the area to capture their discovery. The fish had a bluish-brownish-pinkish, were roughly 15cm long with internal organs showing through translucent bodies. 'It was clear they were a community living there,' Proessor Powell says, 'not just a chance encounter.' The team encountered two other types of smaller fish - one black and another orange. They also found red, shrimp crustaceans, as well as some other marine invertebrates. Researchers suspect one source of food for the fish is plankton which can be grown in the waters of the Ross Sea and then swept under the ice shelf over a period of six or seven years. Stunned scientists made the discovery after drilling a small hole through the Ross Ice Shelf, which covers an area the size of France. They spotted the sea creatures in an area of remote seawater 33ft (10 metres) deep, sealed between the ice sheet and the seafloor below . Researchers suspect one source of food for the fish is plankton which can be grown in the waters of the Ross Sea (pictured) and then swept under the ice shelf over a period of six or seven years . Chemical energy from inside interior, rather than sunlight, could also be sustaining bacteria and other microbes which the fish feed on. The team are currently in the process of analysing the fish to understand more about their species. 'I have been investigating these types of environments for much of my career, and although I knew it would be difficult, I had been wanting to access this system for years because of its scientific importance,' said Professor Powell. 'Findings such as these - gaining an understanding of the ice sheet dynamics and its interaction with ocean and sediment, as well as establishing the structure of its ecosystem - are especially rewarding. It's a big pay-off in delayed gratification.' Researchers lowered this robolab complete with drill through two miles of ocean and bored through several hundred feet of ocean sediment and into the rock where the aquifer flows . Two miles below the surface of the ocean, researchers have discovered new microbes that 'breathe' sulphate. The microbes, which have yet to be classified and named, exist in massive undersea aquifers — networks of channels in porous rock beneath the ocean where water continually churns, researchers say. About one-third of the Earth's biomass is thought to exist in this largely uncharted environment. 'It was surprising to find new bugs, but when we go to warmer, relatively old and isolated fluids, we find a unique microbial community,' said Alberto Robador, of USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, who led the study. Sulphate is a compound of sulfur and oxygen that occurs naturally in seawater. It is used commercially in everything from car batteries to bath salts and can be aerosolised by the burning of fossil fuels, increasing the acidity of the atmosphere. Microbes that breathe sulphate - that is, gain energy by reacting sulfate with organic (carbon-containing) compounds - are thought to be some of the oldest types of organisms on Earth."

"value": "High-risk Australian jihadist Musa Cerantonio is set to walk free once deported to Melbourne. Cerantonio will be deported from the Philippines on Tuesday night, and is due to arrive back in Australia on Thursday, according to the ABC. Although Philippine authorities are treating the religious extremist as a 'high-value prisoner', he will not be taken into custody because there are no warrants for his arrest in Australia. Musa Cerantonio was arrested by local police in the Philippines on Friday, but could walk free when he is deported back to Australia . 'He is a VIP - a high risk and high value prisoner,' a guard told the Sydney Morning Herald last week. Cerantonio, who converted to from Catholicism to Islam at 17, was expected to be deported for breaching the Philippines' immigration laws this week. Changing his name from Robert Edward, the 29-year-old was detained last Friday in the central Filipino city of Cebu where he was believed to have been hiding from Australian authorities, despite claiming on Twitter he had arrived in the Middle East just days before. He was found with a Filipina fashion designer claiming to be his wife, inside an apartment. Australian authorities cancelled his passport, triggering his arrest and leaving without any documentation. Police said Australian agencies had been monitoring Cerantonio's activities since February when he arrived in Cebu, the country's largest metropolis outside Manila and also his trip to the Filipino island of Mindanao. The Philippines has a large Muslim minority in the southern region of Mindanao, a hotbed for a decades-old Muslim insurgency and where Islamic militants linked to al-Qaeda also operate. As there is no warrant for his arrest, Cerantonio, pictured head down with Filipino police operatives on the day of his arrest, he could be a free man . Born to an Italian father and a mother of Irish heritage, Cerantonio has been living in the Philippines since 2013 and is one of the most influential supporters of Middle East jihadists. Since his arrest, he has been held in an immigration jail at Metro Manila's police camp at Taguig city. The jail holds some of the Philippines' top security prisoners, with Cerantonio being kept in a cell by himself. Australian Federal Police investigating terrorism and violations of the Foreign Incursions and Recruitment Act will continue to consider Cerantonio a person of interest. This means it is illegal for Cerantonio to promote others joining foreign paramilitary forces or insurgencies. On Wednesday, Attorney-General George Brandis introduced legislation to parliament which would strengthen ASIO's powers, enabling the national security intelligence service to track national security threats. Within hours of Cerantonio's arrest, a Facebook page calling for his release hit the social media site. Cerantonio himself has previously used the internet to urge people to join 'jihad'. Scroll down for video . A Facebook page calling for Australian jihadist Musa Cerantonio's release has emerged . It has more than 3,000 likes and contains messages of support for the Australian jihadist . Followers of the Melbourne-born jihadist, who is one of extremist group Islamic State's most prolific members urging people to join them in Iraq and Syria, have used the page to post messages of support for Cerantonio. Last week, the Abbott Government listed Islamic State as a terrorist organisation when it pushed through amendments to the criminal code. Created on the same day as the jihadist's arrest, the Release Brother Musa Cerantonio page has attracted more than 3,200 likes and calls for Filipino authorities to free 'the man who opened our mind and dig the very root of jihad in the Philippines and All of the Muslim Lands'. One supporter wrote: 'I love him so much, may Allah help and protect him always, he was chosen by Allah...stay strong bro'. 'May he be protected by ALLAH in all matters. He has the knowledge and courage given by ALLAH to tell the truth about ISLAM...,' another wrote on the page. Cerantonio was arrested on Friday in Lapu-Lapu City in the Philippines . In a telephone interview on Friday, July 11, Supt Capa told AAP that Cerantonio had 'been in Cebu since February... For the most part, he keeps to himself in his rooms, in hotels or apartments'. 'In one broadcast on his website, he called on brother Muslims to join the war in Iraq and Syria.' Supt Capa said Cerantonio was arrested and would be deported because the Australian government cancelled his passport, making him an illegal alien. However, Mr Banas said there is 'no evidence linking him to any terror act'. His arrest came more than a week after he tweeted on social media he had arrived in the Middle East to join his brothers of the Islamic State - which is also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. 'Al-Hamdulillah I have arrived in the land of Khilafah in Ash-Sham! May Allah honor all Muslims during this blessed time with His obedience,' he posted on Twitter. Two days before that he tweeted: 'Insha'Allah I will be arriving in Ash-Sham very shortly, keep us in your du'a, getting ready to travel.' Al-Hamdulillah means 'Thanks and Praise to God' in Arabic, Insha'Allah translates to 'God-willing', Ash-Sham refers to the Levant and the term du'a is used for the word 'prayers'. The Australian Federal Police confirmed the arrest but neither confirmed nor denied whether they are conducting their own investigation. 'The AFP is aware that Philippine authorities have taken action in relation to Musa Cerantonio, which may result in his return to Australia,' the AFP said in a statement. A federal government spokeswoman said she was aware Cerantonio had been detained but would not comment further. Prior to his arrest, Melbourne-born Cerantonio tweeted he was in the Middle East . He is one of Islamic State's most prolific extremists with more than 6,000 followers on Twitter . 'We cannot say with certainty that he had any contact with local Muslim groups,' Supt Capa said, adding the Australian had been living with a Filipina woman and moving periodically around Cebu until his arrest at a one-room apartment near the airport. The 32-year-old woman - who bought food and other supplies for Cerantonio - was wanted by police over an unrelated fraud case and was also arrested on Friday, he added. A police intelligence officer involved in the operation said Cerantonio had been in Mindanao, though there was no indication he had tried to recruit Filipinos or been in contact with Islamic militants in the area. 'This person... has a website and he propagates extreme teachings and advocates jihad and calling on Muslim brothers to go to Syria and Iraq to fight together with the ISIS,' the official said, referring to the Islamic State militants who have seized large swathes of territory in eastern Syria and in neighbouring Iraq. Cerantonio is expected to be deported back to Australia as early as Saturday . 'Sometimes he mentions the Philippine government (on his website), but does not call for violence' against it, the officer added, adding that the Australian has 'no overt following' in the Philippines. Television footage aired by the ABS-CBN network showed a bearded Caucasian man in a white robe being ushered out of an apartment by officers wearing helmets and flak jackets. A report in The Australian newspaper in June described Cerantonio as a preacher and 'one of (the Islamic State's) most influential propagandists', and that Australian police were planning to move against him. The newspaper said Cerantonio called for the assassination of Western leaders in a Facebook post in December, and that a study had found one in four foreign fighters in Syria followed his Twitter account. Recently, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop commented that the government will do everything it can to ensure Australians don't become radicalised overseas and bring their extremist views back home. Ms Bishop refused to comment specifically about Cerantonio to avoid jeopardising the work of Philippine authorities, but she said reports of Australian citizens getting involved with radicals and fighting overseas were disturbing. 'We are determined to ensure that Australians do not leave this country to take up fighting in another country, become radicalised and then return to Australia with these new skills and extremist outlooks,' she told reporters in Brisbane. 'We are taking every step we can to ensure that Australians are kept safe.'"

"value": "The Danny Welbeck fan club used to seem a little short of members. There was Sir Alex Ferguson, Roy Hodgson, a handful of Manchester United fans, me… and that was pretty much it. But now Louis van Gaal is prepared to let Welbeck leave Old Trafford, that little club has grown somewhat. It now includes Arsene Wenger, Mauricio Pochettino, Roberto Martinez, Alan Pardew, Gus Poyet, Steve Bruce and Cesare Prandelli, the Galatasaray manager. All of those well-respected bosses now want the 23-year-old forward at their clubs, and I have yet to meet a fan of any of these teams who thinks otherwise. The Welbeck fan club is swelling fast, and with good reason. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Danny Welbeck take part in a Q&A with Wayne Rooney . Wanted: Danny Welbeck is in demand with Premier League clubs with his future uncertain at Old Trafford . At a stretch: The United forward in action after coming on as a substitute at Sunderland last Sunday . Welbeck is a young English striker of huge potential. He is a supreme athlete – extremely fast thanks to his long strides, and strong enough to hold off the toughest defenders in world football. Anyone who saw him shirtless on Copacabana before the World Cup will know that his body is the ideal shape for a modern footballer, a physique as impressive even as Cristiano Ronaldo’s. He is also blessed with quick feet, technical agility and ability rarely seen in English strikers, and the ambition to attempt the audacious – witness his sublime chipped finish on the opening day of last season against Swansea. He is a fine link player, plays with his head up, is always looking to bring others into the game and for quick one-twos on the edge of the box. Bags packed? Welbeck wants regular starts and could be ready to quit United to find it . Young Lion: Welbeck played a big part in a bright England performance against Italy at the World Cup . Strikes: Positions from which Welbeck scored his goals in the Premier League last season . He was thrust into the limelight when Ferguson shunted Wayne Rooney aside for the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid in February last year, and then dropped his big name star for the second leg. United lost the tie after Nani’s red card but Welbeck scored in the Bernabeu and bullied the likes of Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane. A star was born or, at least, it should have been. Despite that sparkling introduction to the game’s biggest stage, Welbeck has not established himself at United and is on the verge of leaving the club. He is loved by some United fans for being a Manchester born-and-bred product of the youth system, a supporter of the club who never fails to give it all to the cause, even if that means a defensive-minded shift on the left wing. Other United fans simply see him as not progressing as a player and another symbol of the post-Ferguson mess Van Gaal finds himself in. To many other fans he is a laughing stock, a striker with a woeful goalscoring record who should never be near the England team. The next Emile Heskey, even (although this opinion seems to dissipate when Welbeck is linked with their club). Bully: Welbeck rises highest to head a goal for United against Real Madrid in February last year . Blast: Welbeck scored a stunning debut goal for United from long range against Stoke in 2008 . Reach for the sky: The young striker celebrates a strike against Wolves in the Carling Cup in 2009 . Withdrawn: Welbeck's average position on the pitch last season was behind the main striker . It can’t be denied that Welbeck’s goalscoring record is extremely disappointing for an international forward. In 117 appearances in the Premier League over his career to date, he has scored just 26 goals - a strike-rate of 0.2 goals per game with 262 minutes played per goal. He can look lost when he sees the whites of goalkeepers’ eyes – just ask Manuel Neuer after last season’s Champions League quarter-final first leg when Welbeck fluffed a glorious one-one-one chance. He has also been criticised – most notably by Thierry Henry on the BBC during the World Cup - for taking the easy options, playing safe passes instead of using his pace, power and vision to punch holes in the opposition. All are valid criticisms and Welbeck must improve these areas of the game. But how is a striker supposed to become more clinical in front of goal when he is shunted on the wing, seeing even fewer sights of goal, and asked to graft in a role almost more defensive than attacking, as David Moyes asked of him last season? When Moyes did play him further as a striker, Welbeck's goals per games ratio dramatically improved, and he scored six goals in six Premier League matches in a run between December 2013 and January 2014. The only way Welbeck will truly realise his potential is to start games, up front or as a No 10, on a regular basis. And he need look no further than Daniel Sturridge for proof. Sturridge, now 24, is becoming a superstar at Liverpool following four years in the doldrums at Chelsea. He too was shunted wide to play in a role that blunted his talents, or as a substitute, cast in the shadow of Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres just as Welbeck is with Rooney and Robin van Persie. Going nowhere: Daniel Sturridge was a lost talent at Chelsea until he moved to Liverpool . Hotshot: Sturridge is now one of the most feared strikers in the Premier League and England's No 9 . At Chelsea, Sturridge scored just 13 times in 63 Premier League appearances - a strike rate of 0.2 goals per game (just like Welbeck now) and averaging a goal every 220 minutes. Last season he netted 21 goals - behind only Suarez in the goalscorers’ charts - and is England’s undisputed No 9. Welbeck can similarly flourish if given the opportunity elsewhere and that is why his fan club now includes the likes of Wenger. Manchester City and their embarrassment of riches apart, Welbeck would improve the strikeforce of every single Premier League club. Buy him while you can.

"value": "Harmful: Making young girls wear pink reinforces gender stereotypes, according to an educational expert . Making girls wear pink is wrong and could harm their future, an education expert has warned. Hannah Webster, a spokesman for a private schools' organisation, said the idea of having blue for a boy and pink for a girl is 'pernicious' because it leads them towards certain roles regardless of their real identities. She said: 'There will be those who say that pink and blue colour coding does not matter - that it is just a fact that boys like blue and girls like pink. They are wrong.' She added: 'If we designate a particular colour to a gender, it leads us to designate all manner of other things by gender too. 'The result is girls and boys read different kinds of books, play with different kinds of toys, study different subjects, consider different occupations, have different roles within the workplace and family and are ultimately valued differently by society. 'What is pernicious about this is that everyone is then attributed with roles and characteristics regardless of their individual identities and talents. And this then occurs before a child is even born.' Writing in the magazine Attain, produced by the Independent Association of Prep Schools, she writes that, at the time of the First World War, the colours were reversed. According to a 1918 edition of Ladies' Home Journal, the rule at the time was pink for the boy and blue for the girl. Blue was considered a softer colour which was prettier for girls, and also the colour in which the Virgin Mary was often depicted. Ms Webster, the association's communications manager, wrote: 'Most of us want a society in which people are judged according to their whole identities rather than just their gender. Modern phenomenon: Girls clothing is increasingly only available in pink shades - but a century ago, the colour was associated with boys . 'We can only have a hope of this if we stop presuming an array of character traits - starting on the basis of colour preference - go hand in hand with a person's biological sex.' Ms Webster spoke out after the parents' group Let Toys Be Toys launched a campaign to remove 'boys and girls' signs in shops. Marks & Spencer and Toys R Us are among those who have already pledged to make its toys 'gender neutral'. As previously reported in MailOnline, Let Toys Be Toys was set up by a group of British parents in November 2012, calling for a change in the way toys are marketed to boys and girls. They had noticed girls were increasingly being encouraged to play with dolls, prams and kitchens - all inevitably in pink colours - while toys deems to be for boys were cars, guns and sports-related. Colour-coding babies: This gives them roles and characteristics regardless of their individual identities and talents from birth . One of the campaign's founders, Tricia Lowther, 44, a self-employed copywriter from Durham, who has a six-year-old daughter, told the MailOnline: 'It does bother a lot of parents, we seem to have tapped in to a huge and growing sense of frustration with the way toys are promoted according to outdated, illogical and sexist stereotypes. 'I can't speak for any of the others but what pushed me to make a stand was the realisation, after my daughter was born, that gender stereotyping in children's products had become worse than when I was a child myself back in the Seventies. It's something that has become almost impossible to escape and is very limiting for children.' A similar Let Books Be Books project, calling for reading material not to be marked as 'for boys' or 'for girls' is backed by children's laureate Malorie Blackman, poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy and the author Philip Pullman."

DMS.Article.init('top'); . }); . Gone: Michael Jackson died from an overdose of propofol in 2009 . The jury in the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial has ruled that the concert promoter was not negligent in hiring the doctor who treated the singer. Jackson's mother sued concert promoter AEG Live LLC over the hiring of Dr. Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for giving Jackson an overdose of the anesthetic propofol in 2009. Katherine Jackson claimed AEG Live should have done a thorough background check on Murray. The Jackson family matriarch was seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages for herself and her son's three children. The company denied hiring Murray and said he had been picked by the singer as the doctor for his upcoming shows. The panel of six men and six women began deliberating on September 26, more than five months after the start of the trial that offered an unprecedented look into the superstar's private life. The case provided the closest look yet at Jackson's drug use and his battles against chronic pain and insomnia. It also took jurors behind the scenes in the rough and tumble world of negotiations with one of the world's most famous entertainers looking to solidify his legendary status after scandal interrupted his career. 'We reached a verdict that we understand that not everybody is going to agree with,' jury foreman Gregg Barden said after the decision was reached. Scroll down for video . Trouble: Dr Conrad Murray, who was already convicted of involuntary manslaughter for giving Jackson an overdose of the anesthetic, was the basis for the latest trial which was a lawsuit against the concert promoter . 'But the decision was reached after very careful consideration of five months of testimony, thousands of documents and of course the guidance of the court.' Witnesses said he saw the 'This Is It' concerts as a chance for personal redemption after being acquitted of child molestation. But as the opening date of the shows approached, associates testified that he had bouts of insecurity and agonized over his inability to sleep. They said he turned to the drug propofol and found Murray, who was willing to buy it in bulk and administer it to him on a nightly basis even though it is not meant to be used outside operating rooms. Saying their peace: Juror Gregg Barden spoke to the awaiting media after arriving at the not guilty verdict against AEG . All eyes on them: The group issued a joint statement saying that they knew not everyone would agree with them . Testimony at the civil trial showed that only Jackson and Murray knew he was taking the drug. In his closing argument, AEG Live attorney Marvin Putnam told jurors that the company would have pulled the plug on the shows if they knew he was using the anesthetic. 'AEG would have never agreed to finance this tour if they knew Mr. Jackson was playing Russian roulette in his bedroom every night,' Brian Panish, a lawyer for the Jackson family, countered that AEG Live was negligent by not looking far enough to find out what it needed to know about Murray. Major pull: At the time of his death Jackson was prepping for the 10-night 'This Is It' concert in London which was run by concert promoter AEG Live LLC, who the jury ruled was not negligent in hiring Murray . Those who live on: Michael's mother Katherine is now the trustee of his estate and cares for his children, including daughter Paris (seen together in January 2012) He claimed in his closing argument that the lure of riches turned the company and Murray into mercenaries who sacrificed the pop star's life in a quest to boost their own fortunes. Panish asked jurors: 'Do people do things they shouldn't do for money? People do it every day.' He said a $150,000-a-month contract to care for Jackson was a lifeline to help Murray climb out of his financial troubles, which included $500,000 in debt. AEG Live, meanwhile, had only one interest — launching a world tour for the King of Pop that would yield untold millions in profits, the lawyer said. AEG Live's lawyers framed the case as being about personal choice, saying Jackson made bad choices about the drug that killed him and the doctor who provided it. They said he was the architect of his own demise and no one else can be blamed. Putnam said Jackson insisted on hiring the cardiologist, despite objections from AEG Live. 'It was his money and he certainly wasn't going to take no for an answer,' the lawyer said. Putnam portrayed AEG Live and its executives as victims of deception by Jackson and Murray. He showed brief excerpts from the 'This Is It' documentary to show that Jackson appeared in top form just 12 hours before he died. Making the case: Brian Panish was hired by Jackson's family to argue that AEG should have done a background check on the doctor and found him to be unsuitable to treat the 'King of Pop' Legal minds: Panish, seen here talking with AEG's attorneys Kathryn Cahan and Marvin Putnam, ultimately won the case . Closing argument: Putnam told jurors that the company would have pulled the plug on the shows if they knew he was using the anesthetic . 'AEG Live did not have a crystal ball,' he said. 'Dr. Murray and Mr. Jackson fooled everyone. They want to blame AEG for something no one saw.' Murray was convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter for causing Jackson's death and is due to be released in October after serving a two year jail sentence. Jurors heard testimony from more than 50 witnesses, including Jackson's mother and his eldest son, Prince, as well as days of testimony from AEG executives who were repeatedly asked about emails in which they discussed Jackson's missed rehearsals and described Murray's pay as a done deal. They also heard about Jackson's close relationship to many of his doctors, including Murray, who he first met in Las Vegas in 2007. Katherine Jackson called the case a search for the truth about the death of her son and the trial featured potentially embarrassing revelations for both sides. AEG's executives had their emails picked apart, revealing concerns that Jackson wouldn't be able to perform the shows as planned, that a lawyer at their parent company referred to Michael Jackson as 'the freak,' and that Jackson was derided even though the company had invested more than $30million in his shows. AEG Live, meanwhile, laid out Jackson's medical history, presenting testimony about his use of drugs, including the powerful painkiller Demerol, for pain stemming from an accident that occurred decades ago while he was filming a Pepsi commercial. Jackson had no trace of that drug in his system when he died. Legend lives on: Fans pay tribute to Jackson by imitating his signature moves outside the Los Angeles court . The lawyers called witnesses who recounted Jackson's use of propofol dating back to the 1990s. In 1997, two German doctors administered the anesthetic to help the singer sleep between shows in Munich. A few years later, Jackson requested the anesthetic from a dental anesthesiologist who refused, as did another doctor who testified that Jackson kept a box of propofol in his bedroom at Neverland Ranch. On the issue of possible damages, expert witnesses for the company said any estimate of Jackson's future earnings were speculative, and they showed the panel that the singer was deeply in debt and consistently spent more than he earned. In the verdict form, jurors were first asked to decide the central question of the case — whether AEG Live hired Murray to treat Jackson. During the trial, they heard evidence that AEG had drafted a contract that was signed by Murray. But there were no indications that it was signed by AEG Live or Jackson. Attorneys for the singer's mother argued that Jackson's signature was not necessary, but the company's attorneys said the contract required his consent to be binding. Jackson's mother and his three children are supported by his estate, which provides a comfortable lifestyle for them and erased hundreds of millions of dollars in debts by debuting new projects and releasing new music featuring the King of Pop."

Just one in 11 people manage to keep their New Year's resolutions for at least six months, according to new research. Just under half break their resolutions within a fortnight, blaming a lack of will power. And of those planning to make a New Year's resolution, almost a fifth plan to cut back on alcohol. The poll of 4,000 adults by Cancer Research UK found 55 per cent have made New Year's resolutions in the past, and 23 per cent have made a resolution for 2013. When asked how long previous New Year's resolutions had lasted, nine per cent said they stuck to them for at least six months. However, 39 per cent had given up within two weeks. Of those that plan to or are thinking about giving something up for 2013, 19 per cent said they would cut down on alcohol. Other popular New Year's resolutions were to spend less money (34 per cent), cut down on chocolate (21 per cent), and go to the gym (22 per cent). Cancer Research UK is looking for volunteers to sign up for its new fundraising campaign, Dryathlon(TM), which is encouraging people nationwide to test their willpower and take the challenge of staying off alcohol for January, raising money for a good cause at the same time. Ed Aspel, Head of Dryathlon at Cancer . Research UK, said: 'We wanted to find out how good the great British . public are at sticking to those fabled New Year's Resolutions, which it . turns out we find harder to stick to than we might think. 'We'd encourage the fifth of us . who already plan to cut down on alcohol to go one step further and give . Dryathlon a go - by raising some much needed cash to help beat cancer, . you'll have an even better reason to make it past the two week mark and . stick to the Resolution for the whole of January.' Cancer Research UK is looking for volunteers to sign up for its new fundraising campaign, Dryathlon(TM), which is encouraging people to test their willpower and take the challenge of staying off alcohol for January, raising money for a good cause at the same time . 1. CHOOSE ONE THING - to start, pick . one habit that will have the biggest impact on your life if changed and . focus on it. Planning to hit the gym, give up Facebook and eat better . all at once is taking on too much, according to research carried out by . BJ Fogg, a psychologist and author of Persuasive Technology. Do the . first thing for a month, then you can add more changes. 2. MAKE IT EASY - don't start by . planning to train for an hour every day or eat nothing but meat and veg . if that's a huge change in your habits. It won't happen. 'If you're . working out, aim for five to ten minutes a day,' says Leo Babauta, . author of The Power Of Less. 'If you're planning to de-clutter your . home, start with one drawer rather than your whole house.' The positive . feedback from these tiny goals will help you tackle bigger tasks later. 3. IGNORE THE NEGATIVES - focusing . on what you're not going to do can lead to a 'behavioural ironic . rebound' - or, more simply, if you resolve to stop eating cake, you'll . eat more cake. According to research from Utrecht University in the . Netherlands, you should focus on positives rather than negatives, such . as resolving to eat more veg and protein. 4. USE IF/THEN PATTERNS - . programme your brain as you would a computer and you won't need to . wrestle with temptation all the time, says Professor Mark Conner of the . University of Leeds. 'Set up cues that prompt your planned behaviour,' he suggests. For instance, 'if I feel hungry before lunch then I will . eat an apple, not a chocolate bar'. Conserving willpower in this way . also means you'll have more left over for other things. 5. GET HELP - joining forces with a . partner boosts your chances of sticking to your resolutions, according . to Conner's research. When groups were told to make if/then plans with . and without the help of friends, those who used a support group saw . vastly increased chances of success. And besides, you'll need someone to . spot you on the bench."

The European Parliament is poised to call for the firm to be split into separate components in the most audacious attempt yet to loosen its grip on the sector. A draft motion backed by several MEPs and leaked to the Financial Times said investigators should look at ‘unbundling search engines from other commercial services’. This would mean separating Google’s search functions from other features such as its YouTube video-sharing website, or its internet maps service. The US firm is already being investigated by the European Commission in a long-running competition probe . One industry source said: ‘These guys are calling for the break-up of Google.’ The US firm is already being investigated by the European Commission in a long-running competition probe. While the European Parliament has no powers to ban or block Google, the Commission is its executive arm and can levy fines or bring in new rules to curb the company’s power. Google has grown to dominate the internet and international telecoms markets since it was set up in a garage in 1998. Its search engine accounts for two-thirds of all online searches, leaving rivals Bing and Yahoo trailing. It also provides software for 80 per cent of the mobile phones sold across the world with its Android operating system, while its Chrome internet browser is used by roughly 30 per cent of home computers. It has also photographed every road in the UK and many other parts of the world in order to build up its ‘street view’ function, which allows users to see images of almost every home in Britain. During this project, the company inadvertently harvested data from millions of UK homes, which it was later ordered to delete or face criminal charges. Google has also begun deleting search results for embarrassing articles under the European Court of Justice’s new controversial ‘right to be forgotten’ Google has also begun deleting search results for embarrassing articles under the European Court of Justice’s new controversial ‘right to be forgotten’. The UK Information Commissioner’s Office has criticised the company in the past for having ‘baffling’ privacy rules that leave consumers in the dark about how their data will be used. The company, which has an unofficial motto of ‘do no evil’, has also been criticised for its ‘immoral’ tax policies that see it funnel large amount of money into offshore havens. Five years ago the EC launched a competition investigation into Google over fears it was stifling rivals by promoting its own websites and services. The company has repeatedly – but unsuccessfully – tried to settle the case, proposing to pay a fine if none of the findings of the investigation would be made public. The EC’s digital chief, Günther Oettinger, has taken a hard line on the company since taking office in September. Speaking shortly after his appointment, he said: ‘When it comes to Google, in the light of complaints that have been received, you have to decide: are you going to get into a compromise with Google?’ The motion, set to be presented in the European Parliament in the next few days ahead of a vote on Thursday, will increase pressure on the Commission to tighten its grip on Google. German MEP Andreas Schwab, who is one of the motion’s backers, said splitting up the company ‘cannot be excluded’ as an option. Spanish MEP Ramon Tremosa said Google was unlikely to release its algorithm – which it uses to rank search results – to competitors, which leaves splitting it up as the only other viable option. Google has refused to comment, but executives at the company are reported to be outraged at the suggestion and have slammed it as ‘politically motivated’."

Tamara Matthews pleaded guilty in court today to causing the accident that killed Sandra Walker's husband Glen Walker - and Matthews' own son, Joshua Jenkins, 16. After Matthews was sentenced to 36 months probation and 500 hours of community service, Walker's widow, who suffered a life-altering brain injury in the crash, hugged her. Scroll down for video . Forgiveness: Sandra Walker (left) hugs Tamara Matthews (right) after she pleads guilty to a misdemeanor charge of homicide in the accident that killed Walker's husband Glen . 'I know she is going through as much pain as I am feeling. I wanted her to know that I forgive her for what she did,' Sandra Walker, 32, told WSB-TV. Police said the crash happened when Matthews drove her black minivan across the center line into the Walker family's white minivan on November 5, 2011 on Flat Shoals Road in Fulton County. The car, driven by Glen Walker with his wife and their two children as passengers, flipped over. Walker died from his injuries weeks after the crash. Sandra Walker, a kindergarten teacher in Gwinnett County, suffered a traumatic brain injury. 'Glen took the brunt of the impact and paid with his life,' said walker's sister Michelle Walker told CBS-46 in 2011. Matthews' son, Joshua Jenkins, died at the scene. Soul mates: Glen and Sandra Walker were married and had two young children at the time of the accident . Heart-rending: Sandra Walker reads her victim impact statement to the court . During her victim impact statement, Walker cried and told Matthews she forgives her for the crash that took the life of her husband. 'Ms Matthews and I have a lot more in common than is showing on the surface. But the one thing that is obvious is that we both suffered great loss,' Walker told the court. She spoke about her husband and their deep love and devotion, and how his loss affected not just her, but many, many others. 'He wasn't just my husband; this isn't just about me. Others are mourning his loss as well: his mother and father are still waiting for him to return and walk through their door. His brother and cousin have lost their person, their mentor and friend who was always there to give them guidance and advice. Friends, family and coworkers whose lives have forever been changed. Deadly accident: The Walkers' car was flipped over and Sandra Walker received a traumatic brain injury, while her husband Glen died in hospital . Forgiveness: Sandra Walker and Tamara Matthews both sobbed as they hugged in court . Young family: The Walkers' two children were unharmed in the accident that took their father's life . 'At 35 years old, over 600 people attended his funeral. He was a difference-maker in people's lives,' she said. She said her traumatic brain injury completely changed her life. She had to re-learn how to walk, shower, drive and take care of herself and her two young children. 'And live both without my life partner and with a disability that has left me unable to return to work or live independently,' she said. She said her brain injury took away not only her memories of the accident but her memory of the last interactions she had with her husband. Nevertheless, Walker said she never wanted jail time for the woman responsible for her husband's death, who also lost her own beloved son. 'I have no anger or angst towards you.'"

An Australian newspaper has given notice to its readers that the imminent birth of a royal baby, Andy Murray's win at Wimbledon, The Lions victory over the Wallabies, the Tour de France and, by the looks of things The Ashes, Britain has much to shout about - and will keep on shouting. 'Pity the poor 100,000 Australians living there, but hazards abound here at home - rugby tourists still lurk in Australian hotels, lolling about in self-satisfaction after their test victory,' says Sydney's news.com. Australians were warned today that the British are about to become unbearable - thanks to a series of events to make us unbearably proud - including Andy Murray's Wimbledon win . An Australian newspaper has given notice to its readers that the imminent birth of a royal baby will also contribute to a swelling of British pride . And of course, Sydney's Daily Telegraph also listed The Lions victory over the Wallabies as one of the things the nation would be 'shouting about' Why England is magnificent: . 1) London, one of the greatest cities in the world! 2) The Royal family! 3) Proper pubs and proper beer! 4) Shakespeare! 5) The food! Toad in the hole, crumpets and Sunday roast!Whereas with poor old Australia... 1) Animals that kill you are everywhere. 2) Everywhere is too far away from everywhere else. 3) Nothing good on television. Ever. 4) Incomprehensible sports. 5) Very bad losers when we beat them at sports with proper, rather than 'Aussie', rules. But in an attempt to boost the spirits of everyone Down Under in the face of an unstoppable swelling of British pride, the paper has listed 10 points that it says are worth reminding Britons about. For a start, there is the weather, with cricket officials at Trent Bridge, where the first of the Ashes is being played, looking at the skies and wondering just when rain will stop play. Then there is the English beer, bitter and lager, the bitter being bitter and warm, the lager tasting like gnat's p**s. As for British beaches, well, says they website, they are 'mostly armoured with pebbles or cobble stones as opposed to sand, necessitating deck chairs and barring long walks or lazing about on a towel. And the water is freezing.' British food is also under attack, with . chicken tikka masala taking over from fish and chips, with one English . food critic describing the meal as 'the culinary equivalent of . Liebfraumilch.' Holidays? When they go overseas, Britons . tend to cluster in enclaves, says the paper, where they eat British food . and avoid interaction with foreigners, apart from the waiters. England's James Anderson celebrates after bowling Australia's Michael Clarke during the first Ashes cricket test match between England and Australia. The paper has listed 10 points that it says are worth reminding Britons about to stave off boasting . Next there's the huge cost of paying for transport to get from Heathrow airport to Gatwick to fly on to, say, Ibiza, followed by at least three hours to get through customs, security and then allowing for flight delays. There's also the question of British . happiness - while Australia is in the top five in a recent survey, . Britain came in as the 10th happiest nation among developed economies. And of course, Britain is a nation . divided. The paper says that the north and south of England hate each . other, the Scots hate the English, the Welsh hate the English, the . English hate everyone and everyone hates the Welsh. The paper also critcises the English beer, . bitter and lager, claiming the bitter is bitter and warm, the lager . tasting like gnat's p**s. But Australian beers are also often crticised . for being tasteless and weak . It claims when Britons go overseas, they tend to cluster in enclaves, eat British food and avoid interaction with foreigners. The same could be said for the high number of Australians who congregate in Australian themed bars . On the economic and job front, says the paper, the UK's economy is 'basically down the toilet. Don't let a Pom fool you with stories about the greatness of the English pound.' Unemployment in Australia is at 5.7 per cent, while in Britain it's 7.9 per cent. Finally, there's those sporting wins. The paper says it should be pointed out to all British rugby bores that the Lions side is a composite team of British and Irish players. 'And if the Poms win the cricket, remind them who Keven Pietersen, Jon Trott and Matt Prior are. 'They're South Africans.'"

Kalie Gill, 15, and her sister Lindsey, 12, were at a church festival in Yonkers, New York, on Friday night when Roseanne Piccirilli lost control of her Jeep. As they maintain a vigil by the hospital bed of Lindsey, who has not yet been told her big sister is dead, the Gill family have said they have no animosity to Mrs Piccirilli. Scroll down for video . Family tragedy: Sisters Lindsey and Kalie Gill were hit by a car at a carnival, which killed Kalie . 'She’s a good woman, a good person and she didn’t mean to do this,' Karen Gill told LoHud News. 'I believe it was a freak accident. I just wish her well.' Her husband Damien added: 'It’s something she’ll have to live with too.' It was just after 9pm on Friday that the sixth grade teacher lost control of her Jeep, causing it to plow into the carnival crowd, killing Kalie and injuring her sister and two others. Lindsey suffered serious injuries including a broken femur, and has undergone several operations since the crash. 'She’s a tough one. She’s a fighter,' Mr Gill said, adding: 'She has been under sedation . and has been in pain.' Mrs Piccirilli reached out to the family in a statement, and thanked them for their compassion. Tributes: Candles and messages are left for 15-year-old Kalie who died on Friday . Crash: A Jeep driven by a schoolteacher plowed into the sisters during a church festival . 'I am grateful for the kindness they . have shown in their public statements, and cannot even imagine the sense . of loss that they feel,' the 55-year-old's statement said. 'My . family and I are praying for the recovery of Lindsey and ask that God . will watch over her and over the soul of her sister Kalie. This is a wonderful family, and what has happened is so very tragic.' Injured: Lindsey, 12, is still in hospital where she is being treated for broken bones . Father James Healy said moments after the fatal incident Mrs Piccirilli told him she had been unable to stop, News 12 Westchester reported. 'She . said the car wouldn't obey when she was putting her foot on the brake. She said it felt like she was putting her foot on the accelerator,' he . said. The St Paul Apostle teacher had been on the way to the carnival, where she had volunteered to help out. Police have taken the 2002 Jeep away for analysis and took a routine blood sample from the teacher, who had no previous traffic violations on her driving record. Relatives of the Gills have been flying in from their native Ireland to help the family through their grief. The family had only just returned to the Bronx area of New York over the summer after spending several years in Co Leitrim, Ireland. Both Kalie and Lindsey had been born in the U.S. when the family first relocated with older sister Jamie, now 21, in the 1990s. 'Kalie was wonderful, the best. Just perfect,' Mrs Gill, a stay-at-home mother, told the Irish Voice. The 15-year-old sophomore and her younger sister were incredibly close and always together. Lindsey has not yet been told that Kalie died in the crash. 'There’s enough going on with her right now that she doesn’t need to know,' Mr Gill, a carpenter, said. Tributes and a touching YouTube film dedicated to the memory of the popular St Barnabas schoolgirl have been set up. Yonkers' Irish-American community has also rallied to support the grieving family. 'People have been so kind,' Mr Gill said. 'We could feed the whole hospital with all of the donations of food we’ve gotten.' Grief: 15-year-old Kalie, who had just returned to New York from Ireland, died on Friday . 'Just perfect': Kalie's parents paid tribute to their teenage daughter . Lieutenant Patrick McCormack said it could be months before crash investigators know what happened. He has not said how far Mrs Piccirilli's car traveled and said witnesses were still being interviewed. Skid marks were visible on the sidewalk, next to a flowers, pictures and messages of sympathy for Kalie and her sister."

Or where a department store knows from your buying habits that you're pregnant even before your family does. That is the terrifying dystopian world portrayed by a group of Harvard professors at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday, where the assembled elite heard that the notion of individual privacy is effectively dead. Imagine a world where mosquito-sized robots fly around stealing samples of your DNA - hat is the terrifying dystopian world portrayed at Davos ©Christophe Simon (AFP/File) 'Welcome to today. We're already in that world,' said Margo Seltzer, a professor in computer science at Harvard University. 'Privacy as we knew it in the past is no longer feasible... How we conventionally think of privacy is dead,' she added. Experts predict technology will lead to: . Mosquito-sized robots fly around stealing samples of your DNA . Department stores knowing from your buying habits that you're pregnant even before your family does . Governments are talking about putting in back doors for communication . Another Harvard researcher into genetics said it was 'inevitable' that one's personal genetic information would enter more and more into the public sphere. Sophia Roosth said intelligence agents were already asked to collect genetic information on foreign leaders to determine things like susceptibility to disease and life expectancy. 'We are at the dawn of the age of genetic McCarthyism,' she said, referring to witch-hunts against Communists in 1950s America. What's more, Seltzer imagined a world in which tiny robot drones flew around, the size of mosquitoes, extracting a sample of your DNA for analysis by, say, the government or an insurance firm. Invasions of privacy are 'going to become more pervasive,' she predicted. 'It's not whether this is going to happen, it's already happening... We live in a surveillance state today.' Political scientist Joseph Nye tackled the controversial subject of encrypted communications and the idea of regulating to ensure governments can always see even encrypted messages in the interests of national security. 'Governments are talking about putting in back doors for communication so that terrorists can't communicate without being spied on. 'The problem is that if governments can do that, so can the bad guys,' Nye told the forum. 'Are you more worried about big brother or your nasty little cousin?' However, despite the pessimistic Orwellian vision, the academics were at pains to stress that the positive aspects of technology still far outweigh the restrictions on privacy they entail. Experts warn that stores will soon know from your buying habits that you're pregnant even before your family does. In the same way we can send tiny drones to spy on people, we can send the same machine into an Ebola ward to 'zap the germs,' Seltzer said. 'The technology is there, it is up to us how to use it,' she added. 'By and large, tech has done more good than harm,' she said, pointing to 'tremendous' advances in healthcare in some rural areas of the developing world that have been made possible by technology. And at a separate session on artificial intelligence, panellists appeared to accept the limit on privacy as part of modern life. Rodney Brooks, chairman of Rethink Robotics, an American tech firm, took the example of Google Maps guessing -- usually correctly -- where you want to go. 'At first, I found that spooky and kind of scary. 'Then I realised, actually, it's kind of useful,' he told the forum. Anthony Goldbloom, a young tech entrepreneur, told the same panel that what he termed the 'Google generation' placed far less weight on their privacy than previous generations. 'I trade my privacy for the convenience. Privacy is not something that worries me,' he said. 'Anyway, people often behave better when they have the sense that their actions are being watched.' The World Economic Forum in the swanky Swiss ski resort of Davos brings together some 2,500 of the global business and political elite for a meeting that ends Saturday."

"value": "Towards the end of his press conference at Arena Corinthians on Tuesday, Louis van Gaal was asked by a presenter from children’s television whether he thought youngsters in Holland should be allowed to stay up for the game against Argentina. Van Gaal can be an obtuse man but on this he was unequivocal. ‘I would always allow my children to watch the match because this is absolutely unique,’ said the Holland coach. Look at the impact of the World Cup at a global level — and this is a semi-final. Eye to eye: Louis van Gaal and Robin van Persie talk in training . Rallying cry: Van Gaal has called on the Dutch public to ramp up their support . VIDEO Van Gaal hopeful on Van Persie fitness . ‘Most children are on holiday and they won’t sleep anyway because they will be so stressed and tense. I would strongly advise parents to let them watch the match.’ In Holland, they are just glad to have these decisions to make. This was supposed to be a World Cup of limited horizons for Van Gaal and his functional (his own word) team. Yet, here we are and the Dutch are still in town, preparing for a classic fixture to conjure memories of the 1978 final — won by Argentina in their own country — and a 1998 quarter-final — won by Holland in Marseille. Those games, of course, featured defining contributions by genuine superstars. Mario Kempes scored the opening goal in Buenos Aires and Dennis Bergkamp settled the meeting in France with perhaps the best goal of his stellar career in the final minute. On Wednesday night in mild, damp Sao Paulo, we have the opportunity to witness greatness once again. Non-flying Dutchman: Dennis Bergkamp scores against Argentina in 1998 . Decisive blow: Bergkamp scored the second as Holland ran out 2-1 winners in Marseille . The deposed World Footballer of the Year, Lionel Messi, has approached this tournament in Brazil as if intent on proving people were wrong to give this year’s title to Cristiano Ronaldo. So far, he has done a pretty reasonable job and without him Argentina would certainly no longer be here. Even Messi, though, would struggle to shift Holland’s Arjen Robben as player of the tournament in most people’s minds. The Bayern Munich forward has taken his game to new levels in South America and it is perhaps not surprising that Argentina appear to be approaching this game with some rather rudimentary ideas about how to stop him. Warning: Arjen Robben has been told to expect a rough ride against Argentina . Juggling skills: Robben looked relaxed in training on Tuesday ahead of the big game . ‘We have to be aggressive, to show the passion of the Argentine players to the Dutch — and especially to Robben,’ said Manchester City defender Martin Demichelis. ‘He doesn’t like physical contact, so you have to make him feel it and get under his skin. He is a phenomenon but he’s not got much edge, he’s not a fighter. Therefore you have to attack him.’ Demichelis and Robben played together at Bayern in 2009-10. Maybe the South American hasn’t been watching his old club mate closely out here, though, as the Robben of summer 2014 has shown as much courage as any forward in this tournament. Last Saturday, four of Costa Rica’s back five were booked for crude, hacking fouls on Robben. Still, he strode forward. No nonsense: Martin Demichelis says Holland are in for some tough treatment . If Argentina are to stop him on Wednesday night in Sao Paulo, they will need to find a cuter way. ‘It’s ridiculous how much he is fouled,’ said Dutch midfielder Nigel de Jong. ‘They foul him because they can’t find another way. He is too good for most.’ It may seem rich to hear members of Holland’s derided 2010 World Cup final team moan about treatment afforded one of their own, given the way De Jong and others kicked the Spain midfield all over Johannesburg four years ago. Certainly, they will seek other ways to neutralise Messi. Van Gaal’s Holland are different in their approach from the team shaped by Bert van Marwijk and on Tuesday the current manager did his best to play down questions about Barcelona’s magician. ‘We are playing against Argentina and we always refer to teams and not individual players,’ said Van Gaal. Star man: Holland will have to stop Argentine ace Lionel Messi . VIDEO All Star XI: Lionel Messi highlights . ‘We have a plan ready for Argentina. We showed the players Argentina this morning. Messi was once elected best footballer in the world. There’s a reason for that. If you score so many goals, you have an added value. ‘At the most important stage he can always pull it off but in principle he’s always found it difficult to show that at an international level. He wants to do that at this tournament and we want to stop him doing that, so that’s going to be quite a challenge.’ Dutch training contained some surprises on Tuesday as De Jong, struggling with a groin injury, joined in the session and captain Robin van Persie, who had a stomach bug, did not. Concern: Van Persie sat out the full session due to a stomach problem . VIDEO Team Profile: Netherlands highlights . We can expect the latter to start, however, and he is already looking ahead beyond the match. ‘Playing against Argentina is not a dream,’ said Van Persie. ‘It doesn’t interest me at all. We just have to win. A dream is to grab hold of that cup. ‘The other semi-final is Brazil- Germany so we’ll see who we’ll play next weekend.’ Dutch confidence is clearly high. Parents in Amsterdam and beyond should perhaps start planning ahead."

West Midlands Police revealed some of their most bizarre calls which also included one man telephoning to ask whether he needed to put his area code before dialling 101 - the force’s non-emergency number. Others who misused the service included one caller asking if officers could come out to scare his sister, while another woman grumbled about being refused entry to a nightclub. Scroll down for audio . Which emergency service do you require?: Police today highlighted timewasting calls to 999 (stock image) The force released the almost unbelievable call-outs as part of an awareness campaign to highlight abuse of the emergency helpline, which receives around 700,000 calls a year. Chief Inspector Sally Holmes said: 'These calls are ridiculous and it doesn’t end just there. 'We regularly receive calls to 999 about lost property, people asking for directions and from people who have been denied entry to a nightclub. 'It's astonishing listening to them, but they hide a serious truth. 'Each call often takes minutes to deal with as staff have to clarify the situation and it might not sound like much but, if someone is trying to get through to report a genuine life or death emergency, then a minute is a very long time to wait. 'I cannot stress enough that the 999 number is for emergencies only, for guidance this is defined as: a crime is in progress, someone suspected of a crime is nearby, when there is danger to life or when violence is being used or threatened. 'To contact police for any other reason, call 101.' In one of the calls released by the force a hungry McDonalds customer called 999 to say he was holding up a queue at the drive-thru because staff had refused to serve him. Control room computer: Police say each call delays genuine callers receiving need urgent help (stock image) In the sound clip he can be heard saying: 'It is a bit of an emergency, but it isn’t at the same time. 'Basically I’ve come into McDonalds and ordered some food and there’s been a misunderstanding. 'We’ve drove back round and none of the staff are coming to the tills - they are just ignoring us. 'So we have decided to stop in the drive-thru now - but there’s 20 cars behind us now.' The frustrated operator can then be heard saying: 'This is not a police matter sir, at all. You don't dial 999 unless it's a life or death emergency.' In a separate call, a woman tells a 999 call operator: 'I’m calling because my laptop had closed and I need the password number.' To which the baffled worker can then be heard replying: 'You have called the police to get a password for your laptop?' And in a final call released by the force, a voice with a strong Birmingham accent can be heard requesting: 'Excuse me sweetheart, what I’m after right....you know the 101 number - do you have to press 0121?' The force revealed that almost half of the 700,000 telephone calls received annually by the force’s emergency number were inappropriate. Today they began a 24-hour tweetathon to show the array of calls it receives. One tweet posted yesterday morning said: '999 call just received from an unlocked phone in a pocket, tying up an emergency line. Remember to check your phone is locked!' Another read: 'We’ve just received a 999 call from a young man at a phone box who is abusing our 999 operators.'"

Scholars have revealed that the Duke of Edinburgh believes the playwright did not write everything attributed to him – in opposition to Prince Charles. Expert Stanley Wells, who has written in defence of Shakespeare’s authorship, last night said he had ‘crossed swords’ with Prince Philip on the issue. Crossing swords: Prince Philip believes not all plays attributed to Shakespeare were his, a scholar claims . He recalled asking the Prince if he was a heretic, only to be told ‘all the more so after reading your book’. According to Wells, Prince Philip believes it’s more likely that some plays were written by diplomat Sir Henry Neville, who was imprisoned in the Tower of London over a 1601 rebellion. Other theories have suggested that Francis Bacon or Christopher Marlowe may also have been the true authors. Another expert, Professor Jonathan Bate, revealed that Prince Charles, president of the Royal Shakespeare Company, had asked him to list arguments backing the Bard as author. He said: ‘I have got a hunch he wanted some arguments to put in front of his dad. I know he has the orthodox position on this.’ Much ado: There has long been a row among scholars about whether Shakespeare wrote all his works ."

The Anfield legend believes Balotelli, who failed to touch the ball in the penalty area as Liverpool lost, epitomised Brendan Rodgers' side's disappointing night in Switzerland. Speaking on Sky Sports on Wednesday night, Souness said: 'I think he summed up what Liverpool were about tonight. How many times did you see him and he ended up limping after any sort of challenge on him? VIDEO Scroll down to watch Rodgers: Mario Balotelli is working hard to get scoring . Mario Balotelli cuts a dejected figure as he leaves the field following Liverpool's defeat by Basle . Graeme Souness claimed Balotelli's 'miserable' night summer up Liverpool's performance in Switzerland . Balotelli's stats for the 2014-15 season (Premier League and Champions League only) Matches: 6 Starts: 6 . Minutes played: 490 . Shots: 19. Goals: 1 . Chances created: 5 Assists: 0 . Stats courtesy of Opta . 'He was complaining to the referee, he gave away possession far too easily and he wasn't alone in that and I thought he had another miserable night. 'Yes, he's got ability of a type and produced a great free-kick in the second half, but he doesn't do enough for me. Souness, who won three European Cups with Liverpool, believes the current vintage now face an uphill battle to qualify from Group B with Real Madrid at home and away next up in the Champions League. Claiming Liverpool were 'lightweight', the Scot also said the side's lack of bite in midfield was a contributing factor in Wednesday's defeat. Balotelli looks down following a disappointing night for Liverpool in their second game of the group stages . Balotelli failed to register a single touch in the opposition's box as Liverpool failed to score in Switzerland . 'Tonight they were lightweight,' insisted Souness. 'You can talk all you want about tactics and formations, but if every one of the midfielders isn't winning challenges and the other team keeps taking the ball off you then you're always going to be on the back foot. 'They played against a Basle team, who are arguably - when you look at the two games in the group - worse than Ludogorets. Real Madrid did not have an easy trip there. 'Liverpool still have to go there and after the next two games against Real Madrid they could find themselves in a very difficult situation.

Now a group of Italian art historians and archaeologists believe they are about to unravel the enigma after discovering what may be the skeleton of the woman who posed for artist Leonardo da Vinci. Lisa Gherardini, the second wife of wealthy Florentine silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo, is recorded as buried in Saint Ursula convent and, after several false alarms, the team believe they have her remains. Ancient find: Archeologists have found a skeleton they believe belonged to the model who inspired Da Vinci's Mona Lisa . An archaeologist digs away at the floor of the medieval Convent of Saint Ursula in Florence, where the skeleton was discovered . The convent was the burial site of Lisa Gherardini, wife of the wealthy Florentine silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo, who modelled for Leonardo Da Vinci . Silvano Vinceti, a former TV producer, is leading the team attempting to exhume and identify Gherardini's remains by sending the bones to universities in Italy and abroad, where they will be checked against the DNA of two confirmed relatives of Gherardini. If it is confirmed the researchers will be able to reconstruct her face. Speaking to CNN, he said: 'Once we identify the remains we can reconstruct the face, with a margin of error of two to eight per cent. By doing this, we will finally be able to answer the question the art historians can't: Who was the model for Leonardo?' There has been centuries of debate over the 77 by 52cm (30 by 31 inches) picture, also know as 'La Gioconda'. Most . modern historians agree that the lady depicted in the Mona Lisa was . Lisa del Giocondo, who became a nun after her husband's death. She died . in the convent on July 15, 1542, aged 63. However, Vinceti is not certain whether the painting that now hangs in the Louvre in Paris is of her. He added: 'When Leonardo began painting the model in front of him, he did not draw that metaphysical, ironic, poignant, elusive smile, but rather he painted a person who was dark and depressed.' He believes the famous smile was added later and may belong to da Vinci's longtime assistant Gian Giacomo Caprotti, also rumoured to have been his lover. The team unearthed a skull and other bones last year that they believe belonged to Lisa Gherardini . The skull was found five feet under the convent's original floor along with other fragments of human ribs and vertebrae . Other art historians say the 'Mona Lisa' is actually a sneaky self-portrait. An archeological team began digging at the abandoned Convent of Saint Ursula last year. They first had to dig through thick concrete, laid down ahead of plans to turn the convent into an army barracks. Muse: The enigmatic Mona Lisa has intrigued millions . But they quickly struck gold, finding . a crypt they believe to have been Lisa's final resting place and soon . after they unearthed a female-sized human skull. The skull was found five feet under the convent's original floor along with other fragments of human ribs and vertebrae. Plans . to continue the dig were suspended when the team ran out of funds, but . they were able to resume earlier this year and found the skeleton. Archeologist Silvano Vinceti, who is in charge of the dig, explained: 'We don't know yet if the bones belong to one single skeleton or more than one. 'But this confirms our hypothesis that in St.Ursula convent there are still human bones and we cannot exclude that among them there are bones belonging to Lisa Gherardini.' Several skeletons have been discovered but the group believe the latest find is the one they have been looking for. The initial discovery - made using . ground penetrating radar and ancient maps and documents - came after a . foot of modern concrete was removed and unearthed a layer of ancient, . 90-centimetre wide bricks. Professor . Vinceti said of the first discovery: 'This is a very exciting . development and the find is consistent with our records and our . preliminary research. 'The . crypt we have found is the one that was mentioned in church records from . 1495 and was reached via a grate and then a staircase. 'We also know from those records that in 1625 there was a second crypt and these are the ones we have found.' Resting place: The courtyard of the Saint Ursula convent in Florence, where archaeologists have been digging . Present on the dig is Natalia Gucciardini Strozzi, who is related to Lisa Gherardini and who is also a close friend of Prince Charles and former Prime Minister Tony Blair. Speaking after the skull was discovered, she said: 'It was so emotional being here - I didn't think I would get so emotional. I am certain that this is the final resting place of Lisa Gherardini.' It is not the first time that Professor Vinceti has used such techniques in his work. Last year similar methods were used to locate and identify the remains of Caravaggio, another Renaissance master. In a Dan Brown-style mystery, Professor Vincenti also claimed that a hidden message could be seen in the eyes of the Mona Lisa after examining them with a high powered magnifying glass. The Mona Lisa is an oil on panel painting owned by the French government and the image is so widely recognised and caricatured that it is considered the most famous painting in the world. Da Vinci started to paint it in 1503 or 1504 and finished it in 1519, shortly before his death, and after he had moved to France."

"value": "I had Novak Djokovic as strong favourite for the Australian Open title but now I am not so sure. I am feeling increasingly good vibes about Andy Murray. Novak’s semi-final win was one of the strangest five-set matches I have seen in a long time. He seemed to be struggling with himself, with his breathing, and in technical terms with his backhand. That is the world No 1’s bread-and-butter shot, and it misfired so much he was lucky Stan Wawrinka did not take full advantage. Andy Murray will make Novak Djokovic play to his maximum in their clash on Sunday . Djokovic was in wayward form against Wawrinka and missed a few bread and butter backhands . With the way Murray has been playing, he won’t be so charitable. So, while a different Djokovic might show up for the final, I like the Brit’s chances. Andy must stick with the aggressive game that has served him so well in getting this far, and the key for him is to stick with that big forehand and do what he did against Tomas Berdych. In the past he has shown a tendency to beat lesser opponents using his more defensive game and then tried to flick the switch towards a more attacking style when faced with the best. What has been encouraging here is that you could tell from the first round he was going to be aggressive. It is so much easier to keep that up and execute under pressure when you have been doing it from the start. Murray will look to flick on an attacking style of play when he plays against Djokovic . Murray has done a good job of putting pressure on his opponents’ first serve in this tournament. He is winning 36.6 per cent of first-serve return points, compared to 34 per cent in Melbourne last year. I have noticed quite a few changes. Murray’s first serve has been excellent and that has allowed him to play a lot more one-two combinations in the manner you associate with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer: get a fast and accurate first serve in and then follow it up with a big first strike. He has also shifted his court position slightly due to the confidence with which he is hitting his forehand. Often before, when the ball was in the middle of the court, he favoured his backhand side, but he’s been running around it more to hit the forehand — a sure sign of a feelgood factor. It has also been noticeable how many returns he has got back in play from first serves. Berdych had been serving outstandingly but he could not make that count enough in the semi. Of course, we know Andy is a great returner and a great mover, and in those departments he is back to what we saw in 2012 and up to Wimbledon 2013. All of the above must be replicated against Djokovic, as well as the way he has kept his frustrations to short flashes and recovered his composure when under pressure. He has got into a rhythm of playing his matches in the evenings since last Sunday’s fourth round on Rod Laver Arena. And it will not hurt that Novak had a long match, and didn’t finish media commitments until well past midnight. Right now, I’m thinking the final is what we call a ‘pick ’em’. In other words, a 50-50."

The wooden box of tools . belonged to Anton Burger, a major in the SS who worked at the Theresienstadt concentration camp between July 1943 and February 1944, where 140,000 Jews were held - and 33,000 of them died. News of the sale has provoked outrage in the Jewish community. Jon Benjamin, chief executive of the Board of Deputies, the main representative body of British Jews, said that 'to seek to profit from such ghoulish objects is deeply troubling'. Other Jewish groups, including the Anne Frank Trust and Holocaust Educational Trust, said that the collection should be placed in an educational context, such as a museum. Theresienstadt was used as a propaganda tool during the Second World War, with the Germans trying to fool the world that it was a 'paradise camp'. The wooden box of tools belonged to Anton Burger, a major in the SS who oversaw the Theresienstadt concentration camp between July 1943 and February 1944 . Disturbingly, given the contents of the box, there is no evidence that Sturmbannfuhrer Burger ever received medical training. A separate layer above the forked hooks reveals a sinister set of scissors . The case is marked 'instrumente gemischte', German for 'mixed instruments'. This has led to the theory it may have been part of the deception to fool the Red Cross into thinking it was for musical instruments . Austrian-born Burger was sentenced to death after the war but fled and lived under an assumed name, eventually dying in Germany in 1991 at the age of 80 . They even made a film showing happy . workers shoeing horses and making handbags, while children played . football or ate sandwiches to add to the deception. Burger played a key role in covering up the true horrors of the camp during stage-managed visits by the Red Cross - which were used to . help conceal the sickening purpose behind it and other camps from the watching . world. Disturbingly, given the contents of the . box, there is no evidence that Sturmbannfuhrer Burger ever received medical training. The mostly monogrammed equipment - which has a guide price of . £2,000 to £4,000 - has been . put up for sale at a small auction house in Bude, Cornwall, by an anonymous . seller. Grace Cloke, from Villa Hall Auctions, explained that the husband of the vendor . was Jewish, and his parents met and married at a concentration camp in Austria. Ms Cloke said: 'This set was always in . their home while they were married. 'He wouldn't talk about his history but he . used to spend a lot of time researching the Second World War.' The vendor's husband passed away . some years ago and she lost contact with his family so she still does not know . how he came to own the instruments. Ms Cloke added: 'The father [of the vendor's husband] used to deal during the war in the black market so we don't . know whether they were in the camp and were able to take it or whether it came . through the black market somehow,' she said. 'It is something we are never going . to know.' Theresienstadt, near what is now the town of Terezin in the Czech Republic, acted as a ghetto for 140,000 Jews, with 33,000 dying there during the war and 88,000 taken from it to extermination camps such as Auschwitz and murdered . Gillian . Walnes, executive director of the Anne Frank Trust UK . 'Inexplicably there are those who . have a grotesque fascination with Nazi memorabilia and instruments used to . inflict suffering on innocent adults and children. 'I . therefore hope that this item will be acquired by a respected museum or . academic institution that will use it for educational purposes.' Jon Benjamin, chief executive of the Board of Deputies . 'There . is understandably a continuing fascination with this tragic part of our recent . history, and along with the countless books and films on the subject, from time . to time artefacts emerge that testify to the horrors of the Holocaust. 'These things serve to remind us of the terrible events that happened, and . incontrovertibly show the claims of Holocaust deniers for the lies that they . are. 'However, to seek to profit from such ghoulish objects, and to risk . that they might fall into the hands of admirers of the Nazis, is deeply . troubling. A more fitting home would be in a museum or suitable historical . archive somewhere.' Karen Pollock, chief executive . of the Holocaust Educational Trust . 'Wherever possible we believe . Holocaust-era items should be presented in an educational context, so that as . many people as possible can learn about what took place during that appalling . time.' The camp, near what is now the town of . Terezin in the Czech Republic, acted as a ghetto for 140,000 Jews, with 33,000 . dying there during the war and 88,000 taken from it to extermination camps such as . Auschwitz and murdered. Just 1,900 were still alive when the . ghetto was liberated by Soviet troops on May 7, 1945. Burger was ordered by SS leader Heinrich . Himmler and Adolf Eichmann, the orchestrator of the mass movement of Jews to camps . in Eastern Europe, to change the appearance of Theresienstadt to fool Red Cross . members who had requested access to a Nazi concentration camp. Many inmates were temporarily removed from . the overcrowded camp and cosmetic changes made to fool the inspectors. Fake shops and cafes were erected to give the . false impression that inmates had a life of relative comfort. The Red Cross representatives seemed to . fall for the deception and the Nazis went on to make a propaganda film at the . camp. The fact that the wooden instrument case . is marked 'instrumente gemischte', German for 'mixed . instruments', has led to the theory that this may have been made as part . of the deception, to suggest it was for musical instruments. 'Anton Burger was charged with . changing the appearance of the camp, and a lot of the Jews there were musical . so it is possible it was made to look like a musical instrument case,' Ms . Cloke said. Austrian-born Burger was sentenced to . death after the war but fled and lived under an assumed name, eventually dying . in Germany in 1991 at the age of 80. James Kendling from Villa Hall Auctions holds the macabre box, which was expected to fetch £2,000-£4,000 . It was only three years after his death, . in 1994, that anyone found out who the dead man really was. Ms Cloke said that the auction house was . aware of the sensitive nature of selling an item that once belonged to a Nazi . war criminal. Museums and other institutions across the . world have already shown an interest in the sale and Ms Cloke said they hoped . it would go to an organisation that would be able to use it in a positive, . educational setting.

Nico Rosberg’s pole position ahead of today’s typhoon-threatened Japanese Grand Prix, a place ahead of his championship rival and Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton, was a mere sideshow in a febrile paddock of intrigue, open cheque books and revolving doors. Vettel’s move was confirmed in a press release early yesterday morning Japanese time, just hours after Vettel texted Horner to ask if he could see him in his room. ‘I knew it wasn’t room service,’ said Horner with gallows humour of the 9.45pm message. Only minutes before he had confidently predicted Vettel would stay. Sebastian Vettel is pictured in the Red Bull garage during practice for the Japanese Grand Prix . Vettel will leave Red Bull at the end of the season after winning four drivers' titles . Vettel signs autographs ahead of this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka . The move is sure to affect the top end of the driver market over the next few months: . Fernando Alonso is almost certain to make way for Vettel at Ferrari, with McLaren his most likely destination. The McLaren management, including chairman Ron Dennis, who fell out with Alonso during his single year at the team in 2007, are willing to be reunited with the turbulent Spaniard. If Alonso does go to McLaren, rather than take a year’s sabbatical, he is likely to replace Jenson Button, possibly bringing an end to the Briton’s 15-year career in Formula One. McLaren sources have indicated privately that Alonso would be granted No 1 status and paired with a youthful No 2. Therefore, Kevin Magnussen, who only costs £500,000 a year, would stay and Button would go. The Mail on Sunday understands that Hamilton has agreed in principle a new deal to keep him at Mercedes through to the end of 2017. VIDEO: Watch outgoing Ferrari president Luca Di Montezemolo speak about Vettel . Vettel won four drivers' titles with the team, establishing himself as the best in the world . Vettel is 117 points behind championship leader Lewis Hamilton and has decided to move on . Typhoon Phanfone threatens both the smooth-running of the Japanese Grand Prix race and the dash out of Japan. The worst effects of the storm are due to hit Suzuka late tonight or tomorrow, when the sport’s people, cars and freight are trying to travel 6,000 miles to Sochi for next week’s Russian Grand Prix. Regarding this Sunday's grand prix, an FIA spokesman said: ‘The timing for the organisers to change the race time has passed. We will see what is going on in the morning. The safety of the people has to be the most important thing.’ The possibility remains the race could run behind the safety car, with half-points an option should the race not be completed. Red Bull confirmed that Vettel’s place will be taken by 20-year-old Russian Daniil Kvyat from the start of next season. Ferrari will confirm Vettel in their driver line-up in the next few weeks. He will sign a three-year deal worth £150m. The Mail on Sunday understands Vettel negotiated his deal directly with Sergio Marchionne, the new president of Ferrari and chairman of the Scuderia’s parent company Fiat. Neither outgoing Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo nor team principal Marco Mattiacci was actively involved in negotiations. It is thought that Bernie Ecclestone, Vettel’s friend and mentor, advised the driver about the move. Vettel has no manager and negotiates his own highly lucrative deals. Asked about Ecclestone’s guidance, Vettel said: ‘Mind your own business.’ Despite wearing the grungy look of a student doing America on 10 dollars a day, Vettel is said to be protective about his money. A new father, to Emily, he lives quietly on a farm in the tax haven of Switzerland, enjoying his privacy as much as his hero Michael Schumacher, whose feats at Ferrari he aspires to recreate. Daniil Kvyat will replace Vettel at Red Bull, moving from the sister team Toro Rosso . Kvyat has impressed in his first season in Formula 1 and will get his chance with Red Bull next season . It is understood that Vettel started to seek a move away following the Italian Grand Prix at the start of September. In his five years with Red Bull, he won four world drivers’ titles and helped them to four constructors’ championships. But he suffered dents to his stellar reputation this season after being regularly outclassed by team-mate Daniel Ricciardo, who has won three races to the German’s none. Although Red Bull have massively outperformed Ferrari, they have not managed to match the dominance of Mercedes. That was the case again in qualifying yesterday, with Rosberg and Hamilton annexing the front row of the grid. Rosberg was supremely quick on the most testing track in the world, finishing two-tenths of a second ahead of his title rival. Rosberg suffered electrical problems at the last race in Singapore, allowing Hamilton to take a three-point lead, but he is far from crushed. That is more than could be said for Hamilton’s car after he broke his front suspension when he crashed into the tyre wall after carrying too much speed into the first corner in practice. ‘Nico was extremely quick today,’ admitted Hamilton. ‘I did the best I could. The guys did a great job to rebuild the car after I binned it. Today I just wasn’t feeling it. I don’t know why. Tomorrow is the day where you get the points so I’m looking forward to all the tricky weather.’ As for Vettel, he will start ninth, three places behind Ricciardo. But, naturally, he was still smiling. Laughing, in fact, all the way to the bank. Vettel adjusts his headphones as he prepares to drive ahead of the third practice session in Suzuka ."

Europe, where he will spend the month on board the Slipstream yacht, . touring St Tropez. He . is believed to want to give his lover space in order to work out her . divorce case. If the case is settled somewhat amicably, then it will . avoid an ugly court battle, in which Cowell could be dragged into - and . any embarrassing secrets exposed. The . New York Post reported that Lauren waited until her 10th wedding . anniversary to break the news of her affair with Cowell to her husband . so the terms of her pre-nup would kick in. And . a source again insisted today that Lauren tried to 'max out her return . by stringing things along past the 10 year mark to increase what she . would be eligible to receive. Keeping a low profile: Lauren displayed the tiniest hint of a bump in the tight dress . Low key: Lauren Silverman smiled as her little boy was driven off to summer camp in the Hamptons today . Putting the drama behind him: Cowell was pictured at a One Direction concert in Las Vegas on Saturday night . Lauren today appeared outside the Bridgehampton home where she is staying with her husband and son. The striking brunette, wearing a sweatshirt and baseball cap, smiled as her son was picked up for summer camp. She then headed to lunch with a friend in nearby Southampton, where she had donned a clingy striped sun dress, with a black bikini top underneath. Lauren is now being represented by Bernard Clair - named as one of '10 lawyers you don't want representing your spouse in a divorce' - by Business Insider. Mr Clair famously represented socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein in her divorce from Alec Nathan Wildensteain, New York designer Carolyn Roehm, and Republican fundraiser Georgette Mosbacher. Thrashing it out: Lauren is said to be trying to reach an amicable agreement with estranged husband Andrew over their divorce . While Andrew Silverman is being represented Jeffrey Cohen of Cohen Goldstein Silpe. As previously revealed, his parents Eleanora and Allen refused to attend the wedding in 2003 in the fabulously elegant old-money confines of the St Regis hotel in Manhattan’s Midtown. According to a friend, the Silvermans 'did not approve of the relationship, they didn't have a good feeling about Lauren and the relationship.' Lauren did her utmost to take her mind off her situation over . the weekend, as she headed out for a spot of retail therapy. She wore a fitted yellow minidress as she was joined by her sister . and son Adam as the group browsed the local shops in Bridgehampton, New . York. Lauren's outing . came as Cowell headed to St Tropez, where he is expected to spend the . next month alongside ex-girlfriends including Sinitta. Cowell will . tour Europe and take time to evaluate how exactly to proceed after it . was revealed last week that New York socialite Lauren - married to his . friend Andrew - is expecting his baby. Ironically, . it was on board the $458,000-a-week Slipstream that Cowell was pictured . sharing a tender embrace with Lauren last August, in images that came . to light last week. Despite the St Tropez trip, Cowell is also expected to fly to . Britain within the next few days to meet up with his 87-year-old mother Julie and brother . Nick to discuss the pregnancy and his plans for the future. Prior to heading to St Tropez, Cowell . was seen taking his mind off the drama in his personal life by . attending a One Direction concert in Las Vegas on Saturday night. He was spotted mingling . with fans, standing alongside a male friend, as he stood in the audience . and watched his X Factor stars perform in the city - while his lover stayed on the East Coast. Blooming: Lauren wore a yellow minidress as she was seen out shopping with her sister over the weekend . Shady lady: Lauren hid her eyes behind sunglasses for the shopping trip . Day trip: Lauren headed out with her sister (left) and her seven-year-old son Adam . A . friend close to Andrew Silverman told the New York Post that the idea that he . knew about his wife's relationship with Cowell is 'ridiculous' and 'she . knows this isn't true.' Lauren's accusations that her husband . messed around, partying with girls all over the world, is only adding . fuel to their bitter custody battle over son Adam. Andrew's friend said that it sounds like a 'desperate attempt to smear him.' The statement was in response to an earlier TMZ report that said Andrew knew about the affair all along. They . said Lauren was 'outraged' that when he feigned shock at pictures of . the Hamptons socialite kissing Simon on a yacht last year. The . website reported that Lauren has alleged to close friends that Andrew . 'knew what was going on the whole time and he was doing the same thing.' Laying low: Simon Cowell left his Los Angeles home on Friday night for a month-long trip to Europe . Escape route: Cowell had to deflect questions about the baby at the X Factor TCA press tour last week and he will soon enjoy a month long vacation - with the harem of course . While . Lauren's pregnancy is still in early days, Cowell is said to be . concerned about the strain the situation and publicity could put on the . socialite. The . pair are in a relationship, as MailOnline revealed, but . another friend said: 'At the moment, Lauren and Andrew need to thrash . out their divorce - Lauren can't just go running off to be with Simon, . as much as she wants to be with him. 'All sides want the divorce to go through as quickly as can be.' Furore: The X Factor star is having a baby with Lauren Silverman, a married New York socialite . Break: Cowell was spotted leaving Los Angeles on his private jet on Friday night . Happy days: Cowell and Silverman vacationing in France last August. He Los Angeles from a private airport on Friday night . Close: Simon Cowell appearing to kiss Lauren Silverman on a yacht off the coast of St Tropez in August 2012 . It remains to be seen just how the . news that he is to be a father will go down with Cowell, who has never . made a secret of the fact that he doesn't believe he is the right . material to become a parent. In an interview in 2009, Cowell said: 'God, no. I couldn't have children. If I had them here drawing on the walls I'd go nuts. 'With . kids, you've got a routine you can't escape from. You've got to be up . at a certain time. Got to listen. When all you want to do is sit in a . corner thinking.' However, . in a more recent interview in April this year, Cowell appeared to have . somewhat changed his mind, saying: 'I haven’t ruled it out. If I knew I . could be - how do I put this delicately - faithful, I would. 'I do like kids, I’m just not sure I’d . be any good for the first six months. I don’t think I’d adopt because . I’d rather have my own. I’d have to say I’d like a little girl.' Mummy dearest: Cowell is also said to be flying back to the UK in the next few days to see his mother Julie to discuss the pregnancy news ."

Neil Warnock chose his words carefully given he already has one FA charge relating to referees hanging over his head, but his anger at the officiating following this dramatic draw was clear. Never one to shy away from emphatic statements, the Crystal Palace manager claimed Craig Dawson’s challenge on Julian Speroni in the midst of Victor Anichebe’s goal was tantamount to ‘assault’. Saido Berahino scored a late equaliser to hand his side a point against Crystal Palace at The Hawthorns . Substitute goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey dived the right way but was unable to save Berahino's spot-kick . Crystal Palace captain Mile Jedinak scored from the penalty spot to extend his side's lead .

Subs not used: Doyle, Gayle, Fryers, Bannan . Booked: Jedinak . Manager: Neil Warnock 6.5 . Ref: Mark Clattenburg 7 . MoM: Anichebe . Att: 24,738 . Goals: Hangeland 16, Jedinak 45 . Bert Trautmann, who broke his neck in the 1956 FA Cup final, got a mention. The goal, six minutes after the interval, sliced Palace’s 2-0 lead in half to set up a last-gasp equaliser from the penalty spot by Saido Berahino. His composed finish, in the third minute of added time, only enhanced his reputation as well as his standing as England’s leading marksman in the top-flight. Seven in the Premier League now, Roy Hodgson will note. Warnock had no complaints that referee Mark Clattenburg pointed to the spot when Mile Jedinak foolishly slid in on Anichebe as he shaped to shoot. But he complained that Clattenburg had failed to act when Dawson tripped Wilfried Zaha in the area in the first half. Having accused referee Craig Pawson of being influenced by Chelsea players last weekend, none of his Palace players tried to apply any pressure. ‘It’s a certain penalty,’ Warnock said ‘You can’t win. We had four or five Chelsea lads surrounding the referee last week and we were told that was wrong. I don’t want my lads to start going silly.’ On the Speroni incident he said: ‘It’s just like an assault. Dawson goes for two or three yards with his elbow and smashes him in the face. I’ve not seen one of them since Bert Trautmann, it’s ridiculous.’ That description is exaggerated to say the least but it is true that another referee may have blown for a foul as the players collided following Chris Brunt’s corner. Speroni was down for three minutes receiving treatment but wanted to continue. Warnock overruled and dragged his goalkeeper off. ‘He’s telling the physio, “I’ll be alright” and I didn’t want to risk it,’ Warnock said. ‘Once they’d scored I thought they’d try the same again. The only one to give him some protection was me.’ Alan Irvine believed the incident was no more severe than when bodies came together for Palace’s opening goal in the 16th minute. Brede Hangeland headed Yannick Bolasie’s corner into Dawson, then prodded the rebound in with his right boot. ‘I looked at the referee on both occasions and neither time he gave a free-kick,’ said Irvine. ‘There was an awful lot of players flying in at those inswinging corners. I thought the contact was after the ball had been headed by Victor.’ Berahino put in a hard working display against the Baggies as seen on the above heat map. Click here to see more of our Match Zone . Palace summer signing Brede Hangeland had given his side the lead in the 16th minute . Crystal Palace were awarded a first half penalty when Yannick Bolasie was fouled by Graham Dorrans . MINS PLD KM MILES . West Brom 109.6 68.1 . Chris Brunt 90 11.7 7.3 . Sebastien Pocognoli 90 11.3 7.0 . James Morrison 90 11.3 7.0 . Crystal Palace 110.3 68.5 . Joe Ledley 90 11.1 6.9 . Mile Jedinak 90 11.1 6.9 . Fraizer Campbell 90 10.8 6.7 . Palace built on their lead shortly before the interval when Sebastien Pocognoli slid in desperately on Bolasie. Jedinak strode forward and sent Foster the wrong way. In the end a draw seemed fair, certainly once Anichebe arrived at half-time in place of Stephane Sessegnon to change the complexion of this match. It was Anichebe's first goal of the season after recovering from a groin injury and Irvine felt he played a major part. He said: 'There's no doubt Victor made a difference and before the game I thought we might need him. Having watched Palace and looked at their strengths and the way they are able to play I felt Victor would be needed at some point.' Irvine admitted, though, he had to get angry with his side after their first-half no show. He said: 'They did see another side to me, one which doesn't come out very often but has to come out from time to time. 'I was bitterly disappointed with the first 32 minutes of the game. We conceded the penalty on a counter attack but for the first 32 minutes we were awful. After that we did what we were supposed to be doing and we eventually got a reward for that.' Palace, meanwhile, are on the brink of being taken over by American entrepreneur Josh Harris, the owner of the New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia 76ers. Warnock had an opinion on that too. ‘If the billionaire is in the background I’m sure we’ll be looking for telephone numbers,’ he said. A busy January might beckon.

His brief few words as they changed over at the end of the first set created the perfect double whammy — it did him as much harm as it did Murray good. I am aware that I said prior to the match that Andy should not let this get personal, but the fact is the timing of Berdych’s remark was so perfect for Murray — and disastrous from the Czech’s point of view — that it swung the match around. Both players had invested so much in the first set, which was over an hour-and-a-quarter of really hard tennis, that it was massive for Tomas to win it. Tomas Berdych stares at his opponent Andy Murray during their tense Australian Open semi-final . You can be sure that he will have been pumped and his opponent deflated, especially as Andy knew he had chances to take it. I was surprised that Berdych initiated it because confrontation is not really in his character and his level completely dropped afterwards. He virtually donated the next two games and lost 16 out of the next 20 points. Murray celebrates victory against Berdych (left) and acknowledges coach Amelie Mauresmo's role (right) As for Andy, the incident just helped him forget those 76 long minutes after which he had ended up with nothing. Instead of being down on himself he got fired up all over again and started playing more positively, especially on his forehand side. He rode this momentum all the way through the next two sets and, as I predicted beforehand, ended up winning in four. It was not a big altercation but the key thing was that it suited Andy’s personality while it did not suit Tomas at all. Murray had actually been as emotional for a first set as I recall, so he was up for this from the start. He could have faded after that lost tiebreak but his opponent unwittingly ensured that it did not happen. Tomas Berdych looks in the zone after taking the first set on a tie-break against Andy Murray on Thursday . However Berdych floundered after the first set to fall to a 6-7 (6-8), 6-0, 6-3, 7-5 defeat to Andy Murray ."

The typhoon has been building over the Pacific Ocean throughout the week and is expected to bring rain and heavy winds to the track - which could severely challenge the race. With the lights due to go out at 15:00 local time, there is little room for pushing the start back, as dusk falls fairly soon after the end of the grand prix. L-r: Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Valtteri Bottas after qualifying in Japan . Nico Rosberg (left) with his crew members on the way to taking pole in the Japanese Grand Prix . An FIA spokesman explained why the race could not be moved, with Sunday morning or later on Saturday night originally mooted as potential options. 'The timing for the organisers to change the time the race is held has passed,' he said. 'We will see what is going on in the morning. If that is a storm, what are you going to do? The safety of the people, the spectators has to logically be the most important thing.' The situation is ever-changing, with the typhoon upgraded from a category one hurricane up to a category four inside 12 hours. It has also been at 'super typhoon' levels after reaching winds of 150mph and the FIA is in constant contact with their forecasters. Mercedes' Nico Rosberg takes the acclaim after clinching pole position in Suzuka . Ferrari's Fernando Alonso walks out from his pit after the qualifying session . Championship leader Lewis Hamilton makes his way around the Japanese circuit . 'Our team are monitoring at all times,' the spokesman added. 'Everyone is trying to make sure the race can go ahead - but it will go ahead only if conditions in and around the circuit are safe.' There remains the possibility that the race could run behind the safety car if the weather was bad enough to warrant it - with half-points also an option should the entire race not be able to be completed. Either way it adds another intriguing factor into the title battle between Mercedes pair Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton ahead of what will prove to be an interesting day."

Spanish playmaker Mata insisted that his team-mates are fully behind the manager as the club remain locked in a struggle for a Champions League place. Some United fans are unconvinced by Van Gaal’s tactics and during their last Premier League match chanted ‘4-4-2’ after the Dutchman had again opted for his favoured 3-5-2. Manchester United playmaker Juan Mata (centre) admits players are still getting used to Louis van Gaal . The Dutch manager has switched between 3-5-2 and 4-4-2 formations this season . He switched to the more traditional format after the break and watched his side win 2-0 at Loftus Road. But on Friday night in the FA Cup, in a 4-4-2 from the start, United could not find a way past League Two Cambridge and will now face a replay at Old Trafford after a disappointing 0-0 draw at the Abbey Stadium. Speaking to the club’s website, Mata, who was rested for the FA Cup clash, is confident Van Gaal will get things right. ‘I think we are all learning from the manager,’ he said. ‘He is a great character and a great coach. The way he wants to play football is the right way, which is an attacking way. Despite a multi-million pound line-up, United could not overcome lowly Cambridge United in the FA Cup . The Spain international insists that Van Gaal's football philosophy will eventually bring rewards . ‘That means we try to work hard with the ball, try to create space to pass the ball quickly and to switch it from side to side. I really like the way he sees football and we are all trying to do our best for him, the staff and for Ryan [Giggs].’ Mata joined from Chelsea a year ago for a then club record £37.1m. And he says that the size of United continues to amaze him. ‘The pre-season tour made me realise how big the club is,’ he said. ‘Once we were on the tour and travelling around, we saw how many supporters we had against teams like Real Madrid and Inter Milan. We had more fans than anyone in the States. I expect places like Asia and Australia are the same – it’s unbelievable the support we get around the world.’ Mata remembers his first game against Cardiff City after arriving in a surprise move from Chelsea . Mata admits being blown away by United's popularity during the club's pre-season tour of the US . Mata highlights United's victory at Newcastle away last season as one of his best performances . Looking back over his 12 months, Mata was asked for his favourite match and goal. ‘I always remember my first game against Cardiff,’ he said. ‘We’ve had some good games, such as Newcastle away (last season) and Liverpool at home this season. There have been some good games personally and for the team. ‘I liked the two free-kicks I scored at Newcastle and Southampton last season. They were good goals.’"

Luiz Felipe Scolari apologised to the people of Brazil after they were humiliated 7-1 in the World Cup semi-final by Germany. Brazil were 5-0 down at half-time after Thomas Muller, Miroslav Klose, Toni Kroos (2) and Sami Khedira scored in a remarkable 18 minute spell. Andre Schurrle added two more after the break and Brazilian forward Oscar responded in the final minute as the host nation were booed off the field.

Devastation: Stand-in Brazil captain David Luiz was in tears after the final whistle . VIDEO Disbelief in Belo Horizonte after devastating Germany win . Scolari, who insists he will not resign after this shameful defeat, said: ‘My message is, to the Brazilian people and fans, that we did and we tried to do what we could. ‘Please excuse us for this mistake. I’m sorry we couldn’t get to the final. This is a catastrophe. ‘It’s probably the worst moment of my career. This is the worst day of my life, but life goes on. ‘I’ll be remembered probably because I lost 7-1, the worst defeat Brazil have ever had, but that was a risk I knew I was running when I accepted this position. Life goes on. That’s what I’ll do. ‘We did what we thought was our best, and we lost to a great team that had the team, in six or seven minutes, to end the game with three or four goals in extraordinary manner. ‘I can tell you that, after the first goal, we had a problem and, with the skills of a team who have been working together for a long time, they capitalised on it. ‘We will continue working and honouring what our team means for the third place match in Brasilia. ‘I’d like to thank the supporters for supporting the players despite us losing by five, six, seven. It was interesting to see that happen.’ Emotional: Luiz was struggling to hold back the tears as he was interviewed on television after the defeat . Comforted: Luiz is consoled as he leaves the field after Brazil's semi-final humbling . Scolari, who was without injured Neymar and suspended skipper Thiago Silva, took full responsibility for the manner of the defeat. Brazil will now travel to Brasilia to play the loser of Wednesday evening’s semi-final in Sao Paulo between Argentina and Holland for the third and fourth place play-off. He added: ‘Who is responsible when the team plays? Who is invited to be the coach? Who is responsible for picking the team? I am. It’s me. So the catastrophic result can be shared by the whole group. ‘My players will tell you we will share our responsibilities. But who decided the tactics, I did. So the person responsible is me. ‘I don’t have any debt to the country. I did my job as I always have. I did what I thought was best. ‘We had one defeat today. For a year and a half, this was a third defeat in 28 matches. Joy: Toni Kroos (left) holds his arms and aloft and is congratulated by Miroslav Klose (right) after scoring . Despair: Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari looks helpless as he watches his side crumble against Germany . Crestfallen: Scolari was gesturing to himself on the touchline as Brazil conceded five first-half goals . ‘Yes, it was a terrible defeat in terms of the result, 7-1, but at 5-0, you try and rally to pull some goals back. ‘That leaves you open to further disaster. In 2002, we won. Great. Now we’ve lost. But it was my choice. I made the choices. Me. Don’t forget there’s a match on Saturday, though. We can be third, so we still have a match to play.’ Stand-in captain David Luiz was in tears again at the final whistle and they were booed off the pitch when they turned to applaud the Brazil supporters. Luiz said: ‘I wanted to give pleasure only for my people. All those who suffered so much, I want to apologise to every Brazilian.’ Down and out: Julio Cesar struggled to explain Brazil's embarrassing exit . Gutted: Cesar and his Brazil team-mates look dejected at the final whistle . Celebration: Germany coach Joachim Low screams with joy as he watches his side thrash Brazil 7-1 . Scolari admitted he was powerless to re-organise his team after Klose became the World Cup’s all-time leading goalscorer with his 16th after 23 minutes. Kroos struck twice before 26 minutes had been played and Khedira added the fifth after 29 minutes. Scolari added: ‘No-one could change anything. It was one after the other. Everyone blanked out. ‘We were trying to talk to them, to get re-organised and breathe for a second. But there was nothing we could do. Change one or two of them? We couldn’t do that when we were enduring the problem.’ Ecstasy: Low (left), Andre Schurrle (centre) and Lukas Podolski (right) celebrate on the touchline . Embrace: Low (right) shakes hands with record-breaking striker Klose (left) as he substitutes for forward . Scolari also insisted that the absence of Neymar had nothing to do with the shambolic performance in the semi-final. He added: ‘Let’s not try to find an excuse in Neymar or the emotions of the anthem. ‘What happened was Germany imposed a fantastic rhythm on the game. They were able to score the goals to define the match. That diminished my team.’"

The 27-year-old Morocco international had reportedly been a target for both Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea after excelling at the Stadio Olimpico to help Roma finish second in the Serie A table last season.

Among the stellar cast are a current national team head coach, a frontrunner for the newly-vacant Queens Park Rangers managerial position and someone who went on to become a star in action-packed Hollywood blockbusters... but can you name them? SPOILER ALERT: NO CHEATING, ANSWERS ARE DIRECTLY BELOW THIS PICTURE . Looking back to the start of the Premier League era in August 1992 and Snap! were riding high at the top of the charts with Rhythm Is A Dancer. Also in the top five at that time was Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe collaboration Barcelona, which became the soundtrack for the Olympics that year. If you were going to cinema in August 1992 then the Clint Eastwood western Unforgiven was the film at the top of the box office. At the end of the first year of the Premier League it was Alex Ferguson's Manchester United who won their first title for 26 years. United eventually won the league by 10 points, but for much of the season were pushed all the way by Aston Villa and Norwich. Steve Bruce and Bryan Robson celebrate after winning the first Premier League title in 1993 .

So to keep safe, just remember to avoid 'landslides' in the lounge, the 'flesh juice' in the canteen and the 'mind crotch' on the stairs... and whatever you do, never 'bomb into the ash' in the smoking area. But if you ever do fall foul of any of these hidden perils, remember... you can always pull the 'Emergency Door Cock'. These are just some of the bizarre - and befuddling - translations of everyday signage pictured in airports across the Far East. And they make for a rather baffling read. Visitors to airports across Asia captured some of the more amusing translations, posting their pictures of signs and labels on an online blog. Scroll down for video. In an airport?: What appears to be a 'Careful: Slippery surface' sign has been labelled 'Be careful of landslide' in this Chinese bathroom . Appetising: A sign in Japan advertises fresh fruit juice is translated as a rather less appetising 'flesh juice' Befuddling: If you don't know what a mind crotch is, then it is best to avoid this Chinese airport, while smokers in Beijing International Airport should never 'bomb into the ash here', right . Unnerving: If you ever do fall foul of any of these hidden perils, remember... you can always pull the 'Emergency Door Cock' at Taipei Airport in Taiwan .

Scroll down to see the latest collection of amusingly 'creative' English from around the world. The results include simple . translations that have been worded perhaps more bluntly than European travellers might be used . to - such as a row of seats reserved for the 'old, weak and pregnant'. Passengers at one airport were informed that their flight had been 'delayed for some reasons'. Helpful: A series of photographs posted on an online blog details bizarre and hilarious English translations in airports across Asia . Communication breakdown: A toilet has been reserved for the 'weal only' (left) while a metal bin before airport security has been designated as a 'liquid abandoned place' Nappy swap: Travellers are informed of an unusual in-flight service, a 'baby diaper exchange' Blunt: A row of seats in one Chinese airport has been reserved for the 'old, weak and pregnant', right, while a bin has usefully been designated for 'unrecycling' waste . The vernacular mismatch also leads to a bin labelled for 'unrecycling' and a useful sign telling people to 'mind crotch'.

"value": "Liverpool find themselves outside the top four and unlikely to qualify for the group stages of the Champions League after two games in four days at Anfield in which they have failed to score against Real Madrid and Hull City. Joe Bernstein assesses how Brendan Rodgers can fix the problems currently afflicting the club. MARIO BALOTELLI AS SUAREZ'S REPLACEMENT . You can't say Liverpool weren't warned the Uruguayan would go one day. But by pebble-dashing their summer spending on a number of squad players instead of one A-lister, they've come up short. With Daniel Sturridge injured, Mario Balotelli has been tried as the main source of goals, and failed. But it's not all the Italian's fault. Asking him to make Suarez-style runs in a free-flowing attack is like picking Usain Bolt for the Olympics and telling him to compete in the 5,000metres. Balotelli's strength is his strength, feeling the defenders up against him and physically turning them. Rodgers must either leave Balotelli out or change Liverpool's style until Sturridge returns. Even Fabio Borini would be a better bet. VIDEOS Scroll down to watch... Brendan Rodgers has to solve Mario Balotelli's goal drought as he looks to replace the excellent Luis Suarez . Balotelli has been tried as the main source of goals and failed at last year's Premier League runners up so far . SIMON MIGNOLET LEAVING THE DEFENCE STRESSED . Simon Mignolet makes an excellent sweeper-keeper in terms of having great feet for a goalkeeper. It's the way many managers want to go in the modern game so that they play a high defensive line. Unfortunately, Mignolet's deficiencies, not commanding his penalty area and questionable communication, have left the back-four jittery. Rodgers would be better off going back to basics and spending £10million on a traditional, strong goalkeeper like Asmir Begovic, even if he isn't as good a footballer as Mignolet. Simon Mignolet's deficiencies have left Liverpool's back four shaken and the goalkeeper must turn it around . STEVEN GERRARD A FADING FORCE . Gerrard can still dictate the tempo of the game when he's allowed to. But opponents aren't stupid, they will try to find a way of capitalising on his lack of mobility at the age of 34. If Gerrard is going to play in front of the back-four, he needs legs alongside him – and that means Jordan Henderson rather than Joe Allen or Lucas. With Henderson on the bench on Saturday, it was noticeable how much more energy Hull had in their midfield, particularly Mo Diame. It was only after Henderson came on that Gerrard burst into late life. Steven Gerrard can still dictate the tempo of the game but only when the Liverpool captain is allowed to . Opponents seem to have sussed a way to limit the 34-year-old Gerrard's lack of mobility for Liverpool . THE RAHEEM STERLING 'CRISIS' Raheem Sterling arrived back from the World Cup the great hope of English football. But for every great performance this season, and there have been some, there have also been patchy displays, an unwise link to Real Madrid while contract negotiations are underway and claims from England manager Roy Hodgson that the player had told him he was tired. At 19, Sterling is a good winger and a good No 10. But it's too much for him to switch from one to another with regularity. For this season, Rodgers should tell Sterling where he wants him to play – and stick to hit. He needs stability. There have been patchy displays by Raheem Sterling so far and an unwise link to La Liga giants Real Madrid . At 19, Sterling is a good winger and a good No 10, but it's too much for him to switch from one to another . MIXED-UP STYLE . Liverpool's pattern of play was uncomplicated last season, and thrilling. Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling tore defences apart, Henderson and Gerrard dictated the play, they scored more than the opposition. But Liverpool have lost a bit of their identity with the number of new signings made. The addition of the Champions League means certain new signings like Adam Lallana haven't been given a run of matches to adjust to life at Anfield. It's difficult because modern football requires some rotation but Rodgers should surely stick to his best XI for a few games at least to establish rhythm. Then he can make changes. Liverpool's pattern of play was uncomplicated last season and thrilling but the new additions need to adjust . The addition of the Champions League means new signings like Adam Lallana haven't been given a run ."

Bianchi veered off at the Japanese Grand Prix last week, despite double yellow flags being waved to slow him down. He hit a recovery vehicle and was taken to hospital for emergency brain surgery. Race director Charlie Whiting presented a report on the accident to FIA president Jean Todt this weekend. Medical staff rush to the scene of Jules Bianchi's crash at the Japanese Grand Prix . The Marussia driver was taken to hospital with severe head injuries after the freak accident . Imposing a speed limit under yellow and double yellow flags is a suggestion that is expected to be tried out in practice at Texas in three weeks’ time. Lewis Hamilton said: ‘We had a drivers’ meeting with Jean Todt. One of the ideas that came out was based on when you go karting with electric karts. When the flags come out the engines are limited. ‘I think that’s quite good. What’s good is they are reacting to it and finding the best solution.’ Lewis Hamilton revealed that talks have taken place between drivers over safety measures ."

A two-year-old girl died after drinking her drug addict parents' methadone which was kept in Tom and Jerry cups and Fruit Shoot bottles, a court has heard. Sophie Jones was found covered in vomit by paramedics at her parents home in Blackpool in March after digesting the heroin-substitute. She was rushed to hospital but pronounced dead less than an hour later after digesting the lethal substance, Preston Crown Court heard. Her parents Michelle King, 29, who was also allegedly selling the substance, admitted manslaughter. Her partner, 41-year-old Barry Jones, denies the offence and is standing trial. The court was told King, a known heroin addict, began selling her prescribed dosage of methadone instead of taking it herself, storing the lethal substance in children's cups and Fruit Shoot bottles. She would use the money to buy other drugs including cocaine, traces of which were found on the toddler's dummy during tests following her death. Prosecuting Jeremy Grout-Smith said: 'Both parents have been users of heroin and crack cocaine for some years and were habitually taking these drugs at the time of Sophie's death. 'Michelle King was prescribed methadone, which is heroin replacement. 'Sophie died from drinking the methadone, which she drank from a child's plastic drinking cup. 'She died because of the carelessness and neglect of her parents. 'The risk of the contamination that took place must have been obvious.' At around 11.40pm on March 4 Jones phoned an ambulance telling operators his daughter had stopped breathing. Three minutes later paramedics arrived to find the toddler lying on the floor, covered in vomit. The toddler's parents Michelle King (left) and Barry Jones (right) allegedly knew she was unwell and tried to cover up the fact she had ingested methadone before police searched their home, the court heard . Paramedics arrived at the couple's home to find two-year-old Sophie 'covered in vomit' and 'unresponsive' 'There was vomit in her hair, on her face, chest and on the floor that appeared to contain blood. 'Paramedics thought she was already dead,' Mr Grout-Smith said. Earlier that day King's mother had visited the family and noticed Sophie being 'unsteady on her feet'. She allegedly told her daughter, 'I hope you haven't left the lid off your tablets.' 'Jean saw Sophie fall at least once while she was at the house. 'She was concerned about Sophie and thought they should call an ambulance. 'They told her they would take Sophie to the medical centre later that day. 'After they had left, Jones phoned his mother and told her they had taken Sophie to the centre but that was untrue. 'They both knew she was unwell because of the drug she had taken and they knew that would be diagnosed by medical staff. 'They knew they were at fault. 'They were both aware that Sophie had been put into a deep slumber,' Mr Grout Smith added. The toddler's mother sent a series of text messages to another drug user reminding her that she was owed £25 on the day of her child's death, it was alleged. King, a known heroin addict, was selling her prescribed dosage of methadone to other addicts when her child died, the court heard . Traces of cocaine were also allegedly found on the toddler's dummy following an examination of the couple's home . Cuddly toys and flowers are left outside the home where the toddler died in March this year after digesting methadone . The court heard how the child's grandmother visited the day before her death and noted she looked unstable . A quantity of methadone was found in the couple's back garden when police searched the property . After their daughter was pronounced dead, the couple told police they feared she had drank cider that her grandmother's partner had brought to the house. King allegedly sent a text message to her partner following their daughter's death telling him to dispose of 'all the meth bottles out back under green thing. Another said 'don't tip meth out hide it', the court heard. The court heard how King allegedly stored methadone in empty Fruit Shoot bottles (file image) 'Prior to the 999 call made at 11:40 there had also been an attempt to clear the house of incriminating evidence - the child's drinking cup with methadone and had been put under a sheet in the backyard of the house, bins with shoot bottles in have been moved outside from the back of the house to the end of the street away from their house. 'The neighbour noticed that the water running the upstairs sink for significant period of time. 'It must've been a joint attempt by both defendants to clear up the house. They were acting together to clear the house of any incriminating evidence they were both aware she had been put into a deep slumber had not woken up - they needed to protect themselves. 'It is significant there were no phone calls for a period of one hour between 10:45 and the 999 call at 11:40. In the context of the usual use of phone it was an unusual silent,' Mr Grout-Smith added. Tests later showed Sophie had traces of four separate drugs in her hair. Three of her dummies had traces of cocaine powder on the teat. Methadone was also found on an upstairs bathroom sink. Officer searching the couple's home discovered 146ml of the heroin substitute in their back garden. Just 5ml of the substance is enough to harm a child of Sophie's age, the court heard. High traces of methadone were found in the child's blood following a post-mortem examination. As none was found in her stomach, pathologists suggested she had digested the substance by the time of her death. She died from poisoning by methadone which led her to fall unconscious and inhale the stomach's contents into her lungs. The trial continues.

The race in Suzuka was overshadowed by a crash involving Marussia's Jules Bianchi, who was left requiring surgery after suffering severe head injuries following a collision with a recovery vehicle. But, in terms of the now trivial battle between the Mercedes duo for this year's drivers' championship, Hamilton was the man to come out on top - picking up a third consecutive win to move 10 points clear of his German colleague. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Peter Windsor on Jules Bianchi crash at Sazuka . Lewis Hamilton holds up the trophy after winning the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka on Sunday . With Typhoon Phanfone sending plenty of wet weather towards the circuit, the race was red-flagged after just two laps despite starting under safety car conditions. Hamilton set about passing pole-sitter Rosberg once enough standing water had been cleared to allow the race to begin in earnest. And, even though he was following closely behind his team-mate for several laps, Hamilton felt in control of the race. 'Nico and I had a tough battle, we were pushing really hard,' he said. 'I had a big moment at turn one when I was too late getting off the DRS as I was just pushing so hard but fortunately I was able to get back on track. 'The conditions were difficult throughout but I had more pace than Nico and could follow him quite comfortably in the early stages. Nico Rosberg leads Mercedes team-mate Hamilton in the early stages in wet conditions at Suzuka . 'This is not an easy circuit for following another car or for overtaking, but he made a mistake out of the last corner and I was able to pass. The whole approach then needed to change to look after the tyres and make sure I stayed in the lead until the end of the race.' This was Hamilton's maiden victory at Suzuka and comes at a crucial time in his quest for a second world championship. Rosberg had out-performed the Brit in Saturday's dry qualifying session but was left conceding it was a case of \"damaged limitations\" after he came out second-best on race day. 'I struggled a lot with the balance of my car on the intermediate tyres, so I had to push hard to keep Lewis behind me,' he said. 'I had a lot of oversteering which is why the rear end of my car was very nervous. That was really strange and I didn't have the necessary confidence in the corners; we need to look into that in the next few days. Hamilton (centre) is on top of the podium alongside Rosberg (left) and Sebastian Vettel . 'It meant that Lewis was quicker today and deserved the win. It was damage limitation with losing only seven points to him. For the team it was a good result with another one-two.' Sebastian Vettel, who announced on Saturday he was to leave Red Bull at the end of the season, took the final place on the podium after being the fastest man on track during the middle stages of the race. His team-mate Daniel Ricciardo, who will lead the team when Vettel completes his widely-anticipated move to Ferrari, was fourth with Jenson Button unfortunate to only come home fifth having enjoyed one of his best performances of the season. The 2009 champion peeled off into the pits to change from full wet tyres and onto the intermediate option as soon as the safety car had come in. Hamilton negotiates tough conditions before emerging victorious for his maiden victory at Suzuka . And Button benefited from the decision as those left on track followed his lead - with the McLaren man moving up into third place as a result. The ultimately superior pace of the Red Bull duo meant the 34-year-old could not take his first podium since the opening race in Australia, with his future still a mystery as rumours Fernando Alonso is to return to the Woking-based team. But McLaren race director Eric Boullier was happy with the performance of Button, as the team continues to fight with Force India over fifth place in the constructors's standings. Jenson Button put in one of his best performances of the season to finish in fifth place . 'Jenson was the first driver in the field to stop to fit Intermediates, and, having done so, thereafter he drove very well all afternoon,' said Boullier. 'Indeed, he may well have finished third had things panned out better for us at the end of the race in terms of Safety Car and pit-stop timing. 'Even so, the 10 points he scored for fifth place may well be useful to us in our efforts to move up the Constructors' Championship table.'"

"value": "Sol Campbell has backed former England team-mate and QPR defender Rio Ferdinand to defy his critics and prove his worth after a disappointing start to life at Loftus Road. Ferdinand joined Rangers on a one-year deal in July, linking up with his former West Ham boss Harry Redknapp in the process, after 12 successful years at Manchester United. However, things haven’t entirely gone to plan for the 35-year-old, with him coming under a barrage of criticism for his performances so far this season as the R’s sit rock-bottom of the Premier League. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Harry Redknapp: Rio Ferdinand is the ultimate professional . Rio Ferdinand has received the backing of Sol Campbell as he struggles for form in QPR's defence . Campbell, who played alongside Ferdinand for England, said he can still cut it in the Premier League . Campbell, who built up a formidable partnership with Ferdinand at the heart of the Three Lions defence in the 1990s, still believes the former England captain has plenty to offer at the highest level. When speaking to Sportsmail at the London Sports Writing Festival he said: ‘I have no doubt in my mind that Rio can still compete at the top. ‘I came back to Arsenal when I was 35 and played at the highest level for six months so why can't he? ‘At that time I felt I was the best defender around in the second half of that season (2009-2010) too and should have gone to the World Cup, so there’s no reason why Rio can’t have a similar impact to that at QPR. Ferdinand went on The Jonathan Ross Show to announce he would be retiring at the end of the season . Ferdinand was dropped by manager Harry Redknapp to the bench for QPR's defeat to Liverpool last Sunday . ‘Once Rio gets what QPR are and the club understand him, everything will be fine.’ Considering QPR’s current plight, supporters wouldn't have been entirely pleased to have heard Ferdinand reveal his intention to hang up his boots at the end of the current season on The Jonathan Ross show aired on Saturday night. However, Campbell has backed Ferdinand to win over the R’s faithful, and says they must remain patient with him as he adjusts to surroundings at the club. He added: ‘I don’t think anyone can question Rio’s hunger and desire for the game – he’s a top professional. I think people have to remember that he is getting on now - he’s not a 21-year-old anymore. ‘Once you go into the latter stages of your career you have to take extra care of yourself. There’s a completely different way of approaching the game. Ferdinand and Campbell were rock solid at the heart of the England defence for many years . Campbell (right) returned to Arsenal at the age of 35 and proved he could still perform at the top level . ‘There’s a way of playing, resting, looking after your body - it’s totally different. Harry (Redknapp) will know that. ‘When Arsene Wenger brought me back to Arsenal he had to manage me in a completely different way to when I was at the club before. ‘I was obviously getting fit in pre-season, but I wasn’t training every day. I would play and then rest and have a warm down. As long as you’re ready for the game it’s fine. ‘If you need your rest period you need it at the end of the day. There’s always a way of working around it though and I’m sure QPR and Rio will realise that and reap the rewards in the end.’"

The star, who played the Street's resident drunk Les Battersby, was caught on camera leaving a pub just 36 hours before he appeared on ITV show Daybreak saying 'I feel great'. Mr Jones had headed to the drinking hole after he made a brief appearance on Keith Lemon's ITV2 panel show Celebrity Juice, arriving on set at 8.30pm. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Caught on camera: Coronation street Star Bruce Jones was spotted leaving the Chancellors pub in West London just 36 hours before he told Daybreak viewers he was beating his alcohol demons . Revealing: Former Coronation Street Actor was seen leaving a pub just 36 hours before he told Daybreak presenters Aled Jones and Kate Garraway that he was overcoming his problems with alcohol and depression . The 60-year-old was then said to have visited the nearby Chancellors pub, leaving the West London establishment at 9.30pm, the Daily Mirror newspaper reported. He then joined friends in the bar at . the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, where Celebrity Juice was filmed, . and was seen knocking back pints of Meantime beer. Mr Jones, who played Les Battersby between 1997 and 2007, was later heard telling his drinking partners that he feared he had been photographed leaving the Chancellors pub. Yesterday the father-of-four appeared on ITV breakfast show Daybreak, having been booked to chat about his battles with alcohol and depression. In the live interview with presenters Aled Jones and Kate Garraway, Mr Jones told how he felt he had turned a corner after hitting rock bottom in 2009 when he tried to kill both himself and his wife Sandra by drunkenly grabbing the wheel of the car as she was driving. He said: 'I feel great . actually. I think that moment was I'd been drinking all day and I was . supposed to go to North Wales with my wife and I'd had enough.

He added: 'My friends rallied round and I suddenly decided, it's got to end - either I've got to end or it's got to end - and \"it\", as it turns out was depression.' Mr Jones' Daybreak appearance followed an interview with Tyneside newspaper the Sunday Sun where he compared himself to troubled footballer Paul Gascoigne, 45, who is currently being treated for alcohol addiction. He said: 'Depression is as common as a cold. The more you do positive things, the better life gets. 'I thought: stop going to the pub, stop feeling sorry for yourself, stop blaming other people and blame yourself.' Mr Jones also gave Gazza advice on how to recover from his latest alcohol-related setback, and said that, like the footballer, he had suffered when fans had offered to buy him a pint. 'The only advice I would give to Gazza is get well,' he said. 'We can beat depression. I have beaten it.' Banned: Bruce Jones was given a three year driving ban in 2010 after he admitted drunkenly grabbing the wheel of a car driven by wife Sandra, pictured right . In 1998 Mr Jones was banned from driving for three years after he admitted being drunk behind the wheel. He also admitted to drink driving in 2010 following the incident in the car with his wife and was spared a prison sentence. It was his drinking that led to Mr Jones being axed from Coronation Street after 10 years on the show when he told fellow pubgoers about upcoming storylines. He has struggled to find acting work since leaving the show and has confesses to having blown his fortune and saddled his family with debt which lead to his £500,000 home in Cheshire being repossessed. Three years ago Mr Jones, who has been to rehab twice, was warned by doctors that more drinking could kill him. In an interview last year he revealed that he had drunk as many as 15 pints a day. Mr Jones' agent was today said to be away for the weekend and unavailable for comment on his client's recent drinking session.

"value": "‘The big man is back in town,’ so Christian Benteke did not say on his first appearance in a match for Aston Villa in six months. Wayne Rooney’s famous utterance at the 2006 World Cup is far removed from words that might fall from the Belgium striker’s lips, even if it feels that way for Paul Lambert. Benteke is a quieter soul, the kind who broke the news to friends and family that he would miss a potentially career-defining tournament in Brazil this summer with telephone calls conducted in calm tones. Christian Benteke (right) has been injured for six months, but made his return the U21 Development league . Benteke (right) started for Villa U21s on September 29, scoring a penalty and playing an hour in the match . It was April 3 when he shaped to shoot during a training session at Villa’s Bodymoor Heath training complex and instead crumpled to the floor in agony, not knowing exactly what had afflicted him. By the time he picked up his mobile he was aware it would be at least half a year before he could contemplate prowling the pitch again. Had he not worked so hard, treating his physiotherapy with Villa’s medical staff so seriously, during his lay-off it could have been longer. But the boots came on in earnest against Bolton Wanderers for Villa’s Under-21s game on Monday afternoon – six months to the day since his last match, a 4-1 defeat at Old Trafford. It was another step on the road to full recovery, which still carries potential for peaks and troughs. He scored a penalty, set up a chance for Jores Okore, and lasted 63 minutes before being substituted. Lambert, enthused about the return of his best player, will contemplate naming him on the bench for the visit of Manchester City on Saturday. If not to play, it will provide Benteke and his teammates with a psychological boost. His presence is such it can lift a performance and he would benefit from a matchday atmosphere. Pictured scoring against Norwich in March, Benteke has been a big miss for Villa since his injury . Benteke impressed against Bolton Under 21s, but fans must be patient until he is back to full fitness . It may still be another month before he is able to complete 90 minutes to full effect and Villa fans must be patient. But the statistics show his importance. Since Benteke signed from Genk in 2012 he has scored 34 goals in 67 appearances. With him, Villa win 30 per cent of games, that figure is 26 per cent without him. Possession, passing accuracy, and crosses per game all increase by fractions too when he plays. But it is his offensive impact in this altered Villa side that should be felt greatest. Successive 3-0 defeats to Arsenal and Chelsea should not cloud the fact this team remains significantly stronger in defence that the one Benteke departed. Villa collected 10 points from their first four Premier Leauge games off the back of just six shots on target and four goals. Benteke will advance those numbers. Benteke scored a penalty, set up a chance for Jores Okore, and lasted 63 minutes before being substituted . The Belgian international was back in training this week at Bodymoor Heath, Aston Villa's training ground . There are 8.7 shots per game when he plays, compared to 6.7 when he doesn’t, and 1.2 goals scored per game, compared to 0.8 when he doesn’t. That is the difference between another season struggling against relegation and a first campaign in four years where the threat of the drop doesn’t feature. Lambert must be thankful this troublesome injury, the same which kept Charles N’Zogbia out for the entirety of last season, has denied Benteke the chance of competitive action for a relatively short time. Even if he does not feature until the trip to Everton on October 18, after the international break, Benteke will have missed just 14 Premier League games for Villa. Being unable to represent Belgium in Brazil will have hurt deeply but it enabled him to join his club on the pre-season tour of Texas in July and focus on recovering during the summer. Mark Leather, head of sport development at Bolton and former head physiotherapist at Liverpool, believes Benteke and Villa deserve credit for the timing of his return but explains how the injury still needs to be closely monitored. Benteke will have been devastated to miss Belgium's World Cup campaign in Brazil over the summer . Benteke was all smiles in the week, as he trained with the first team at Aston Villa's training ground . ‘Achilles tendons are notoriously quite complex to rehabilitate, the outcomes are not consistent as with other injuries,’ says Leather. ‘There are more peaks and troughs in the rehab journey than ligament reconstructions or fractures. ‘The tendon is an extension of three big muscles in calf and is key in the ability to push off and accelerate into air. That puts it under immense strain. ‘It’s a good recovery time, not rushing him back too quickly. Benteke will be raring to go but this is the next stage of what is a very long process. ‘The chance of re-rupturing is very slim. But you only know what will happen with games. For the next month to six weeks there will be a grey area, with the medical team assessing how he is coping.’ Benteke’s left foot felt fine after his match against Leather’s team. Fine will do for Lambert, pleased his big man is back in town. Wolves missed the chance to top the Championship by losing to Huddersfield on Wednesday night. But it remains a fine stat after 10 games for three teams of the Midlands. Nottingham Forest sit second as things stand and Derby fourth. Wolves are now seventh. We have four teams from the region in the Premier League and that number could swell come May. Peter Crouch looked like the fall guy in Mark Hughes’s evolution of Stoke City as focus shifted to pace and quick passing. But the former England player still possesses required quality at 33 to contribute in moves and has shown that a striker of substance is needed to convert style into points. Two goals in two games and his understanding with Victor Moses is promising."

"value": "Barack Obama's administration has cut the budget nearly in half for preventing domestic bombings, MailOnline can reveal. Under President George W. Bush, the Department of Homeland Security had $20 million allocated for preventing the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by terrorists working inside the United States. The current White House has cut that funding down to $11 million. That assessment comes from Robert Liscouski, a former Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection, in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15 that killed three Americans and injured at least 173 others. He told MailOnline that the Obama-era DHS is, on the whole, about as well-positioned as it was during the Bush administration to handle the aftermath of the April 15 bombings in Boston, 'but the Obama administration has continued to cut the budget for offices such as the Office for Bombing Prevention from $20 million started under Bush, to $11 million today.' Robert Liscouski was the first Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection, and was responsible for creating the Office of Infrastructure Protection Directorate. That sub-agency's job included protecting U.S. sites from improvised explosives, and it later spun off the Office for Bombing Prevention . President Obama received an updated briefing on the Boston Marathon explosions during an April 16 meeting. OBP was represented by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, at far left . 'Comparatively,' he added, 'the Defense Department's Joint IED Defeat Organization had a budget of $1 billion per year focused on preventing IEDs in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters.' 'Clearly more money needs to be focused on countering domestic IEDs,' Liscouski concluded. He is now a partner at Edge 360, a security and intelligence consultancy. The Office for Bombing Prevention (OBP) was created in 2003 when the Department of Homeland Security was founded. Its original name was the WMD/Bombing Prevention Unit, and it was part of the department's Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection Directorate. The sub-agency was renamed the Office for Bombing Prevention in 2006, according to a 2009 DHS briefing booklet obtained by MailOnline and marked 'FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY.' Today the OBP describes its mission as 'enhanc[ing] the Nation’s ability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and mitigate the terrorist use of explosives against critical infrastructure, the private sector, and Federal, State, local, tribal, and territorial entities.' Its website says it works to 'coordinate national and intergovernmental bombing prevention efforts' and 'enhance counter-IED capabilities.' In February, President Obama issued a National Policy for Countering Improvised Explosives that now governs OBP. 'We must not become complacent,' he wrote . Patrick Starke, an accomplished security expert, runs the Office for Bombing Prevention. He has managed security operations in the Navy, and was also an explosive ordnance disposal officer . But little is known about what role OBP actually plays in attempting . to prevent bombings at public events that could be considered . target-rich environments . Patrick Starke has headed the office since August 2012. He has lengthy security management experience with a defense contractor, in the Navy, and as an explosive ordnance disposal officer. On February 26 the Obama White House issued a lengthy National Policy . for Countering Improvised Explosive Devices. Obama wrote in an . introduction to that document that 'we have no greater responsibility . than providing for the safety and security for [sic] our citizens, . allies, and partners ... The use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) threatens these interests by killing, injuring, and intimidating . citizens and political leaders around the world.' 'We must not become complacent,' he wrote. The policy document included statements about 'enhancing our focus on protecting American lives' and 'screening, detecting, and protecting our people, facilities, transportation systems, [and] critical infrastructure.' Obama's effort followed President George W. Bush's 2007 Homeland Security Presidential Directive-19, which established a national policy on 'the prevention and detection of, protection against, and response to terrorist use of explosives (and IEDs) in the United States.' President George W. Bush (L) created the Department of Homeland Security in 2003 as part of a broad response to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon. Former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge (R) was the cabinet-level agency's first secretary . White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Joshua Earnest didn't respond to a question about whether there were any failures in the president's National Policy for Countering Improvised Explosive Devices, or whether it was too soon to judge the February 2013 policy's effectiveness. He referred MailOnline's questions about the president's February policy statement to DHS, where public affairs officer Brian Hyer didn't immediately provide answers to questions. Earnest also didn't respond to a question about how much money Obama's current budget proposal, delivered to Congress on April 10, allocates for domestic prevention of terrorist bombing attacks on American soil. But the February White House policy document acknowledged that 'the threat from IED use is likely to remain high in the coming decade and will continue to evolve in response to our abilities to counter them.' 'A whole-of-government approach ... will best position the United States to discover plots to use IEDs in the United States, or against U.S. persons abroad, before those threats become imminent. The Boston-area Joint Terrorism Task Force did not respond to questions about whether an OBP representative was an active member. Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano is responsible for overseeing the federal government's efforts to prevent bombings like the ones that claimed three lives on April 15. Her press office did not answer questions about why the agency had cut funding for preventing improvised explosive devices ."

Abdul-Haq - who is also known as Abu Yusseph - lived in Logan, south of Brisbane in Queensland, before he travelled to Syria in August to fight alongside other IS militants, leaving behind his former wife and child. The man was prolific on social media - including Twitter - and his account was filled with content that made light of the terror group's sinister reputation. Scroll down for video . A fellow militant who is thought to have fought alongside Zia Abdul-Haq has confirmed the Logan man is dead . The Australian is thought to have made his way to Syria in August. Friends back home say he was looking for a new wife . A fellow militant who is thought to have fought alongside Abdul-Haq confirmed his death on October 3, but friends did not learn of his death until Monday. He paid tribute to the Australian by uploading a photo of Abdul-Haq sitting with his legs crossed in front of him looking at his mobile phone, and then went on to say he had seen his body. On a Twitter account linked to Wisam Haddad - the man behind the controversial Al-Risalah Islamic Centre in Sydney which closed its doors last month - tributes starting flowing for Abdul-Haq, The Australian reported. Calling him a 'shaheed', Dr Haddad described his friend as a 'beautiful brother' who was 'always smiling'. 'Shaheed' means 'martyr' in Arabic. Wisam Haddad - the man behind the controversial Al-Risalah Islamic Centre in Sydney which closed its doors last month - paid tribute to Abdul-Haq with this post . Dr Haddad also asked 'Allah to accept him' and wrote 'Allahu Akbar' in capitals, which means 'God is the greatest'. Later he posted a meme-style photo of Abdul-Haq with a weapon behind him superimposed on a blue background with the words: 'Abu Yosouf Al Khurasani May Allah Accept Him (Martyred on the day of Arafah).' The Day of Arafah is a holy day in the Islamic faith and is part of the yearly pilgrimage to Mecca. These words were accompanied by a translated passage from the Qur'an, which read: 'And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their lord (sic), receiving provision'. Abdul-Haq has been described as a 'beautiful brother' who was 'always smiling' Other Twitter users also paid tribute to the Logan man who fled to Syria in August . Daily Mail Australia has contacted the Australian Federal Police for comment on this matter. In the past, Abdul-Zaq has used his Twitter account to showcase what life was like fighting for IS in the Middle East. He posted a series of videos on YouTube with titles such as 'funny terrorist video part 1' - as well as Twitter images of militants cuddling cats, playing video games and training with assault weaponry. The Logan man - who friends back home say he travelled to Syria to find a wife - has also tweeted that he was 'proud to be part of #IslamicState' and denied claims he was 'brainwashed' by Australian preacher Musa Cerantonio who was arrested in the Philippines and then deported back to Australian in July. A couple of weeks later following Cerantonio's deportation, Abdul-Haq posted an image of fighters in the Middle East watching a video of the preacher. 'Mujahideen (warriors) in Ash-Shaam watching Musa Cerantonio's talks #IS #ISIS #jihadist #caliphate #Khilafah,' Abdul-Haq wrote."

Until yesterday afternoon, the corporation had refused to report that three Labour figures had leading positions in a human rights group that backed the notorious Paedophile Information Exchange. The story has been on the Mail’s front page three times but the BBC cut all reference to it from its press reviews yesterday. The BBC was accused yesterday of keeping the growing paedophilia scandal from the airwaves in order to protect the Labour Party . Philip Davies, a Tory MP on the Commons culture, media and sport committee, said the reason for the BBC’s continued silence was institutional left-wing bias. ‘It is a scandal that the Daily Mail is one of the most read papers in the country but is ignored by the national broadcaster,’ he said. ‘The BBC is interested only in stories that favour the Labour party or that appear in the Guardian. If this were about Conservative MPs the Labour party would be up in arms and the story would have been leading Newsnight five days running.’ A BBC spokesman said: ‘BBC News is an impartial, independent news organisation and decides its editorial priorities based on merit alone and without external help.’ Philip Davies, a Tory MP on the Commons culture, media and sport committee, said the reason for the BBC¿s continued silence was institutional left-wing bias . Yesterday Sky News journalist Jon Craig confronted Labour leader Ed Miliband about the affair and reported on the story during the channel’s evening bulletin. Adding to the mounting confusion, its own journalists have provided contradictory excuses for why the story has been ignored. While some claimed they were given ‘legal advice’ to drop it, an official spokesman insisted news bosses simply decided the story was ‘not new’. Since it published the results of its PIE investigation last Wednesday, the Daily Mail has run a series of articles – including two further front page splashes - calling for the Labour trio to answer key questions about their time at the National Council For Civil Liberties (NCCL) in the 1970s. But yesterday’s front page story was still ignored by the BBC in its daily newspaper round ups on TV and radio. Late on Sunday night, the BBC News Channel was the first to preview the next day’s front pages. It found time to discuss the front pages of the The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Times, The Independent, The Daily Express and The Sun, but made no mention of the Mail’s main story. On Radio 4, the Today programme yesterday summarised a string of articles – from the situation in Ukraine to the news Piers Morgan has quit his CNN talk show – in its two newspaper reviews at 6.38am and 7.35am. Once again, there was no mention of the PIE. Radio Five Live also omitted the Daily Mail story from its 5.15am newspaper summary, and an online article about the day’s front pages made no mention of the PIE story. The striking gap in the BBC’s coverage was not missed by its viewers and listeners, many of whom took to Twitter to voice their frustration that the story had not been given airtime. But the corporation gave conflicting justifications for the continued omission. Last Wednesday, Five Live broadcaster Nicky Campbell blamed ‘legal advice’ for his failure to mention the Mail’s original splash in his newspaper review, saying there was a ‘lack of sources’ and adding it ‘would have been one to go big on if we could stand up.’ But when MailOnline published copies of all the key documents in the investigation later the same day, the BBC quickly changed its stance. Yesterday Sky News journalist Jon Craig confronted Labour leader Ed Miliband about the affair and reported on the story during the channel's evening bulletin . An official spokesman claimed the affair was in fact being ignored for editorial reasons, adding: ‘The story in question is not new, and instead, we have followed several big, breaking news story.’ The BBC’s first mention of the story was in an online article yesterday afternoon that repeated Miss Harman’s allegation she was the victim of a ‘politically motivated smear campaign.’ Its reticence was in marked contrast to its commercial rival Sky News. The channel aired a lengthy discussion about yesterday’s Daily Mail front page on its Sunday night press preview programme. Presenter Eamonn Holmes again mentioned the story in his round-up of the day’s papers in his early morning show Sunrise. And yesterday afternoon Sky journalist Jon Craig confronted Labour leader Ed Miliband about the affair and reported on the affair during the evening news bulletin."

Chambers, who also arrived at the Gunners this summer following a £12million move from Southampton, has praised the welcoming nature of the squad and staff at the north London club. ‘He has settled in really well,’ said Chambers of his team-mate, after the former Manchester United striker scored a hat-trick in Arsenal’s 4-1 win over Galatasaray at the Emirates on Wednesday night. Danny Welbeck scored a hat-trick in Arsenal's Champions League clash against Galatasaray on Wednesday . Welbeck and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain pose with the match ball after the striker scored his first career treble . Alexis Sanchez was seen sporting an ice pack on his ankle in the second half after he was substituted . Chambers added: ‘When I first came, I said the bunch of lads here and the staff are so welcoming to a new person that it is hard not to settle in quickly to be honest.' Welbeck's treble takes him to four goals in five appearances for the Gunners and also marked the first professional hat-trick of his career. ‘He is an athlete with pace and power on the ball and he is willing to work hard,' said Chambers. 'He is a goalscorer, so he is everything you could ask for. He is a great influence for the team.’ Calum Chambers has enjoyed a strong start to his career at Arsenal following his move from Southampton . Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal’s £30million arrival from Barcelona, has also impressed since signing from the Nou Camp. Sanchez scored Arsenal’s third goal on the night with a well-taken finish shortly before the interval. But the Chile international was later substituted and was seen nursing a knock to his ankle with an ice pack ahead of Sunday’s London derby against Chelsea. Ahead of the clash at Stamford Bridge, Chambers said: 'We will go into it with high hopes and we are on a good run. 'We had a good result tonight and we will give it our best shot. It will be a tough game, but we will go into it 100 per cent focused and look for a result.'"

Previously fit and healthy, customer services adviser Rachelle Beckett first felt the pain while she was on holiday in Rhodes with her partner Stephen Sinclair in May. The 43-year-old was treating it with Paracetamol on returning to the UK then went to see her GP who sent her to hospital for checks. Just five days later she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer which doctors found had spread to her liver, lungs and stomach. Rachelle Beckett, pictured, first felt a pain in her side while she was on holiday in Rhodes with her partner Stephen Sinclair . She was not well enough to undergo chemotherapy and Miss Beckett, from Royston, near Barnsley, South Yorkshire died at Barnsley Hospital four days afterwards on June 27. Dr Patricia Foster, director of clinical director of oncology at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said ovarian cancer symptoms can be difficult to recognise. She said: 'There are early symptoms to look out for such as persistent bloating, pain in the pelvis and lower stomach and difficulty eating. 'It is most common in women who have had the menopause but it can affect women of any age.' Her mother Lesley Olsson and her stepfather Kris praised their daughter's bravery. Mrs Olsson said: 'Rachelle was a very private person and kept her pain to herself. I don't think anyone realised it was as bad as it was. 'She had time off work and was taking Paracetamol for the pain in her side. We kept asking the nurses at hospital what if we'd come sooner but they said her symptoms were not severe enough to point to what it was. 'She was so incredibly brave. She never cried or asked \"why me?\" she was just resigned to it. 'The day before she died I was alone with her in her room and she had the most wonderful smile on her face. She said: \"It's quite exciting. I'm going on an adventure.\" That's what her attitude was like.' Rachelle Beckett was not well enough to undergo chemotherapy and she died at Barnsley Hospital, pictured, four days after being told she had ovarian cancer. The care she received was 'second to none' Ovarian cancer affects more than 6,500 women in the UK each year. It is the fifth most common cancer among women. It is most common in women who have had the menopause but it can affect women of any age. The symptoms are difficult to recognise, especially in the early stages of the disease, as they can be very similar to those of other, less serious, conditions. The most common early symptoms are persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating and nausea. Other symptoms can include back pain and needing to pass urine more frequently. Source: NHS Choices . Mrs Olsson . said the care her daughter received at hospital was 'second to none' and they are now raising money for Cancer Research UK. Miss Beckett worked for a car firm and she holidayed in Greece twice a year and was interested in cooking and socialising. She loved the band Pulp and their hit 'Common People' was the first song to be played at her funeral. She always wore red lipstick and all the women who went to her funeral wore the lipstick in her memory. Her mother said: 'She was the victim of a nasty, insidious disease which spread through her body rapidly and took her life on the day she was going to be transferred to a local hospice. 'We are left trying to make some sort of sense of what has happened and searching for the reasons why? 'She had her life before her, things to do and places to see. She was only 43 and was taken from us in just nine days. 'We feel cheated but also privileged to have had her in our lives. She endured her illness with an inner strength which we found humbling.'"

"value": "Marussia have confirmed they will run only one car at the Russian Grand Prix 'out of respect' to Jules Bianchi. The Frenchman remains in a stable but critical condition in Mie University Hospital following his horror crash last Sunday. And the British based team will leave his car vacant in Sochi, entering only the Briton Max Chilton, who said he is 'truly devastated' by his team-mate's condition, for this weekend's race. A Get Well Soon banner for Jules Bianchi is displayed by his Marussia team ahead of the Russian Grand Prix . The second Marussia car will sit in the team's garage for the duration of the Grand Prix weekend . Max Chilton (centre) admitted he is 'truly devastated' after the crash that left his team-mate in hospital . Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone confirmed Marussia would not be sanctioned or penalised for only running one car. A team statement read: 'The Marussia F1 Team will run a single car for the duration of the forthcoming grand prix weekend in Sochi out of respect for their driver Jules Bianchi, who remains in hospital in Yokkaichi, Japan, in a critical but stable condition. 'The team have written to the stewards of the meeting to inform them they have withdrawn their second car. 'Notwithstanding the presence in Sochi of Alexander Rossi, the nominated official reserve driver for the 2014 Russian Grand Prix, the team feels strongly that fielding a single car, that of driver No 4, Max Chilton, is the appropriate course of action under the difficult circumstances of the weekend. 'Jules' car crew have built a second car, which has been scrutineered and is ready to race, and this will remain on his side of the garage throughout the weekend. The Marussia car sits in the garage carrying messages of support, with the hashtags #ForzaJules and #JB17 . A fan wearing a Jules Bianchi T-shirt shows his support for the stricken Formula One driver . Family members of the injured driver (from left to right) brother Tom, mother Christine, sister Melanie and father Philippe, arrive at the front yard of the Mie General Medical Centre in Yokkaichi on Friday . 'In support of Jules and his family, the team and their cars will carry the familiar '#JB17' graphic, to ensure that although Jules is not with them in Sochi this weekend, he is, nonetheless, racing on with the Marussia F1 Team.' Bianchi underwent emergency brain surgery on Sunday evening after his crash. The 25-year-old Frenchman smashed into a recovery vehicle at Suzuka that was removing the wrecked Sauber of Adrian Sutil after the German hurtled off track into a tyre barrier. Bianchi has been diagnosed with a diffuse axonal injury to the brain whereby damage is widespread rather than localised in one particular area. The prognosis is not good as such injuries often result in coma, and if severe, 90 per cent of patients never regain consciousness. VIDEO Dirvers respond to Bianchi recovery . Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button (front row) are solemn during a press conference . Felipe Massa admitted the race in Suzuka was the worst of his life after Bianchi's crash . The incident has left the entire paddock in shock, with drivers such as Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso - both of whom visited Bianchi in hospital - clearly emotional as they spoke about their colleague. The 21 drivers on track will carry the message 'Tous avec Jules' (All with Jules) on their helmets, along with his race number of 17. As for Chilton, he has now broken his silence over the accident involving his team-mate. The 23-year-old Briton said: 'I don't know how to put into words how truly devastated I am by what has happened to Jules. 'The support from the F1 family has been incredible and all we can do is be there to support Jules' family at this difficult time. 'It is going to be a very emotional weekend for the whole team, but we will try to get through it and keep praying for Jules.' Bianchi received urgent medical treatment after the crash but remains in hospital almost a week on . Questions have been asked about whether the Suzuka race should have started earlier due to conditions ."

"value": "The sales tax on cookies, chips, sodas and other junk food sold on the country's largest American Indian reservation is going up. Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly signed legislation on Friday to increase by 2 per cent the sales tax on food with little to no nutritional value, starting next year. No other sales tax on the Navajo Nation specifically targets the spending habits of consumers. It will remain in effect until 2020, but it can be extended by the Navajo Nation Council. A Navajo family outside their traditional dwelling called a hogan on a Navajo reservation - thousands of people live without electricity and have no way of storing perishable food items for too long . Navajos advocating for a junk-food tax said they wanted to pass a bill that could serve as a model for Indian Country to improve the rates of diabetes and obesity among tribal members. Proposals targeting sugary drinks with proposed bans, size limits, tax hikes and warning labels haven't gained widespread traction across the country. 'We want them to think twice about buying healthy foods instead of soda pop, potato chips and the junk food,' said Gloria Begay of the Dine Community Advocacy Alliance. 'The effort is really much more in the message of Navajo people making better choices for quality foods.' The bill cited statistics from the Navajo-area Indian Health Service that said about one-third of Navajos are diabetic or pre-diabetic, and the obesity rate for some age groups is as high as 60 percent. Diabetes was the fourth-leading cause of death in the Navajo area from 2003 to 2005, the health service said. The $1 million-a-year that the additional tax is expected to generate will pay for projects including farmer's markets, vegetable gardens and wellness and exercise equipment in the tribe's 110 communities. Begay said her group is meeting with tribal officials to figure out exactly how the money will be disbursed. The Navajo Nation (pictured) is putting a tax on junk food to try to cut obesity rates on the reservation . Another bill to eliminate the tribe's 5 percent sales tax on fresh fruit and vegetables sold on the Navajo Nation went into effect October 1. Shelly vetoed another version of the junk food tax earlier this year. His spokesman, Deswood Tome, said Friday that the latest version is clearer on how it will be implemented. Representatives of the beverage industry had lobbied the tribe to reject the tax, saying it would create problems for retailers and doesn't solve health problems. It also applies to sports drinks, fruit juice and pita chips. The tax won't add significantly to the price of junk food, but buying food on the reservation presents obstacles that don't exist in most of urban America. The reservation is a vast 27,000 square miles with few grocery stores and a population with an unemployment rate of around 50 percent. Thousands of people live without electricity and have no way of storing perishable food items for too long."

"value": "Liverpool will consider a January move for West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino. The England Under 21 international starlet has been targeted by Tottenham Hotspur and there has been a £15million offer mooted by the north London club. That falls ways short of the price which would persuade West Brom to sell. West Brom and England Under 21 striker Saido Berahino has 11 goals for club and country this season . Berahino slots home West Brom's equaliser in the last minute in the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace . Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool are after Berahino but West Brom will want at least £25million for him . The Baggies believe Berahino is worth in excess of £25m, and Liverpool’s potential interest could see a bidding battle with Spurs. It is already recognised in Liverpool circles that the signing of Mario Balotelli is a gamble which has not worked. But the Reds will find it hard to 'move on' Balotelli in the January transfer window. Even if they can’t, the club are set to move for a new striker, with Behahino now high on the list. Swansea’s Wilfried Bony - a Spurs target last summer - is another option for the Reds. Mario Balotelli (left) tussles with James Chester (right) during Liverpool's 0-0 draw with Hull at Anfield . Berahino celebrates another goal with the Under 21s and a senior call up could be just around the corner . Tony Pulis is being lined up as Harry Redknapp's successor at QPR as pressure grows on the boss . Mon: Adel Taarabt makes Harry Redknapp’s accusation that he’s not playing for QPR because he is three stone overweight look rather foolish by getting his shirt off for the lads and revealing a washboard-looking stomach. If only we could all be that overweight, eh? Tue: While Manuel Pellegrini had a point complaining about the 'behind closed doors' farce in Moscow, he was really deflecting from another poor display by Manchester City in the Champions League. They surrendered a two-goal lead which leaves their hopes of progressing hanging by a thread. Wed: Arsenal display great spirit by winning their Champions League game against Anderlecht that had seemed lost until the last few minutes. It could be a sign that the Gunners have that bit extra to go along in Europe this season given the Premier League title already seems beyond them. Thurs: Tottenham’s Erik Lamela comes good at last with a wonder goal in the Europa League. But it still remains to be seen whether he produces such magic in the Premier League (see Libero) Fri: Ahead of 'El Clasico', Luis Suarez snaps after being asked about the incident which caused his ban then storms out of a press conference. Why is Suarez so, er, bitter? Tony Pulis is being lined up as Harry Redknapp’s successor at Queens Park Rangers. The word on the grapevine is that Redknapp may only have two games to save his job. That process starts on Monday night at Loftus Road when QPR take on Aston Villa. They face Chelsea next weekend, too. It has been perceived that if Redknapp is ousted then Glenn Hoddle, whom he brought in as coach, would take over. Indeed that was one plan. Hoddle could well be asked to hold the fort in the short term should Redknapp go and the emergency engagement could evolve. Tim Sherwood would also come in to the equation as a successor given his close relationship with Les Ferdinand, who is now Head of Football Operations at the club. But Football Grapevine sources say club owner Tony Fernandes may well see Pulis as the best man to lead Rangers to safety just as he did at Crystal Palace last season. ................................................................... Winston Reid wants £60,000-a-week to sign a new contract at West Ham. The club are reluctant to raise their most recent offer of about £45,000-a-week. But given Reid’s contribution to the club’s excellent start to the season, West Ham may cede to his demands - especially with his contract expiring at the end of the season. Defender Winston Reid wants a £60,000-a-week deal to sign a new contract at West Ham . Roy Hodgson is considering giving Tottenham’s England Under 21 striker Harry Kane a call up for the Euro 2016 qualifier against Slovenia and the friendly versus Scotland next month. Hammers boss Sam Allaydyce has let it be known to Hodgson that he feels Stewart Downing is worthy of a recall to the England set up. Harry Kane wheels away en route to scoring a hat-trick in Tottenham's 5-1 demolition of Asteras Tripolis . Manchester City are considering challenging neighbours Manchester United and Arsenal for Real Madrid’s Sami Khedira in January. Sportsmail had previously reported that Carlo Ancelotti will attempt to block any move to buy Khedira this January, but Real Madrid will overrule their coach if the offer comes close to their £10million valuation of the player whose contract runs out at the end of the season. Sami Khedira celebrates winning the World Cup with Germany in Brazil in the summer . Khedira could leave Real Madrid in January if an offer of around £10million comes in . I am hearing . The company Hawk-Eye, whose goal-line technology was again vindicated on Saturday, immediately ruling what proved to be Diafra Sakho’s winner for West Ham versus Manchester City good, are now working on a system which will offer instant offside decisions . Joe Hart fails to stop the header from Diafra Sakho as West Ham take a 2-0 lead on Saturday . I am also hearing . Although Sam Allardyce has turned the team and his fortunes around at West Ham thus far - not least in the eyes of co-owner David Sullivan - the club will not be rushing into talks over a new contract. Allardyce’s current reputed £2.7million-a-year deal expires next summer. Russell Brand (right) kisses West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce after their victory over Manchester City . By the way... Opinion seems divided as to whether Mario Balotelli was wrong to swap shirts at half-time when Liverpool were getting their shirts stuffed by Real Madrid last week. For what it is worth I think he was wrong, showing no respect for his team mates, the fans, the badge and indeed the idea of competitive sport where the shirt is a symbol of the team ethic. It seems to me the time has come for the football authorities to act on this issue so there is no debate. If a player can be shown a yellow card for ripping off his shirt as part of a goal celebration, then swapping shirts at any point during a match should be a red card offence. Mario Balotelli swapped shirts with Real Madrid centre-back Pepe at half-time on Wednesday . i-Bet . Following Manchester City’s defeat at West Ham, Chelsea can forge ahead in the title race at Old Trafford on Sunday. That is why Jose Mourinho may now instruct his team to go for the kill and win, rather than seek a draw. A Chelsea win is 6/4. I fancy Coral's offer of 12/1 for a 2-0 Blues win.

Tottenham’s Erik Lamela caused a bit of a stir last week with a bit of maverick magic in scoring a 'wonder goal' for Tottenham in their Europa Cup win over Astreas Trioplis. It’s easy to see why many fans got so excited but it did seem some top professionals went over the top in their praise. Indeed one ex-pro striker I know, while admiring the technique, questioned whether Lamela would have been able to pull off that bit of showboating against anything other than low grade opposition. 'If it had been 0-0 in a cup final and one chance come along would he do it then? Can you imagine if you got it wrong, fell over and the chance went and the game was lost?,' my pal asked. Harsh? A bit of jealousy even? Maybe. Erik Lamela's astonishing rabona strike put Tottenham Hotspur in control against Asteras Tripolis . Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino gives Lamela a pat on the back after his goalscoring exploits . Anyway, as we all know now the technical term for a reverse scissor kick is actually a 'rabona'. And here is the definition: . A method of kicking the football with the kicking leg wrapped around the back of the standing leg, so it appears the player has their legs crossed. The first reported rabona happened in a league game in Argentina in 1948 and was performed by Ricardo Infante. Soon after, a magazine front cover featured Infante dressed as a pupil with the caption 'Infante played hooky'; rabona means to skip school in Spanish. Diego Maradona, Roberto Baggio, Gianfranco Zola and Paul Gascoigne are among the players who have performed a successful rabona during a game. England legend Paul Gascoigne performs the rabona in 1991 as he dons the Three Lions jersey . Back Heel . There are those who argue that had George Best signed for Chelsea in the early Seventies his career would have been re-booted and the success the Blues had winning the FA Cup then European Cup Winners Cup with swagger would have been sustained. As it was Chelsea, like 'Bestie', lost their way. That said, Best did appear for Chelsea in Peter Osgood’s testimonial in 1975. And his two goals in that game prompted then-Blues manager Eddie McCreadie to try and sign Best, who at the time was playing for Fourth Division Stockport 'on licence' from United. Peter Osgood (centre) at his testimonial match with George Best (left) and Alan Hudson (right) in 1975 . Stockport were paying Best, who was just 29, £300 a week, which was more than the weekly wages of most players in the then First Division. When Chelsea approached Best he asked for £1,000 a week - a staggering sum back in the day. Blues chairman Brian Mears refused. A year later Best would sign for Fulham and for a season or so his career alongside Rodney Marsh enjoyed a revival before he ended up show-boating in the United States. One can only imagine though what it would have been like on and off the pitch had Best teamed up with Osgood and Alan Hudson sooner. The picture above conjures up thoughts."
