On Wednesday, Sportsmail revealed for the first time how popular each Premier League club is around the globe according to Twitter followers. Arsenal came out on top globally with 5.68million followers ahead of Chelsea (5.49m) and Manchester United (4.87m). But one country was missing: China – where the government outlaws Twitter as they seek to keep control of information and the media. Manchester United have over eight million followers on Weibo, almost double that of Twitter . Manchester City also have over eight million Weibo followers compared to 2.4million on Twitter . Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao are third on the list of clubs in the world with most Weibo followers . In Twitter’s place is a microblogging site called Weibo which has an incredible 27.2m Premier League fans – just one million short of the total number of Premier League fans on the whole of Twitter worldwide. So, do Chinese fans follow the same patterns at the rest of the world? Well it is a story of one city in China, with the Manchester clubs accumulating 17,193,721 followers. United have 8,872,812 Weibo followers compared with 4,870,000 on Twitter, while City have 8,320,909 compared with just 2,420,000. Barcelona have 5.4million followers on Weibo, the fourth most of any club in the world . Arsenal have 3.6million followers on Weibo compared to 5.6 million on Twitter . United’s support in China is no surprise as they have solid support across Asia on Twitter, but City punch well above their weight in China compared with the rest of the continent. Somewhat surprisingly Tottenham are the only other club Premier League club to have more followers in China than on Twitter – 1,367,140 compared with 1,090,000. Elsewhere, Everton’s support is very much in the infancy with just 527 of the 275m Weibo users following Roberto Martinez’s side. Of the 10 Premier League clubs active on Weibo, six – United, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham, feature in the top 20 most followed clubs in China. The Manchester clubs are first and second, with Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao – managed by Fabio Cannavaro – third and Barcelona fourth. Chelsea are 11th on the list of clubs with most followers on the Chinese microblogging site . Liverpool have 2.3million followers on Chinese site Weibo compared to 4.2million on Twitter . Bayern Munich are 13th, Real Madrid are way down in 18th – with 81,303 less followers than Tottenham – and Paris Saint Germain in 20th. And such is the popularity of the Premier League, Michael Owen has a staggering 3,074,148 followers on the site - which would put him 10th in the top 20 clubs list. With the popularity of football rapidly increasingly in China – in December 2014 the China’s President made football compulsory for children and added it to the national curriculum – expect Premier League clubs to intensify their effort to grab a slice of this lucrative market. SportQuake provided the data and their founder Matt House said: 'With its thrilling brand of football, the Premier League delivers mass engagement for fans in markets all over the world. We can say with confidence that more Premier League teams will be active on Weibo next season. 'As always, football and the Premier League is leading the way with new technologies, but we expect follower figures on both Twitter and Weibo to balance out to reflect fan bases as the platforms mature.' | Man United and Man City have over 8million followers each on Weibo .
Both clubs have more followers on the Chinese website than Twitter .
Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao are the third most followed club .
Barcelona are fourth, but Real Madrid are down in 18th place .
Five Premier League clubs feature in the top 12 on Weibo .

He's protected Russell Crowe, Naomi Campbell and Aerosmith rocker Steve Tyler, and now Cengiz Guven is protecting Australian travellers at Gallipoli. Mr Guven is the supervisor of site security at Lone Pine, the hilltop battlefield cemetery that will host the second Australian dawn service on Anzac Day. And while there have been questions about security at Gallipoli following recent terror arrests in Australia and ongoing instability in Syria, Mr Guven is quietly confident. 'The army is here, we are here. It will be okay,' he said. Cengiz Güven (left) with actor Russell Crowe in Istanbul during the premiere of Crowe's film The Water Divider . The 30-year-old security guard pictured with Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler . The 30-year-old security manager from Istanbul has been taking care of things at Lone Pine for the past four years, but in between Anzac Days his work has a superstar flavour. When Crowe attended the Istanbul premiere of his latest film, The Water Diviner, in 2014, Mr Guven was on personal protection duty. He kept Tyler safe when the frontman and his band were in town to perform and has been on duty for Campbell, American lifestyle icon Martha Stewart and electro-dance group The Prodigy. Switching from one-on-one to protecting thousands doesn't faze Mr Guven, even when the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings has made this year the busiest ever for him and his team from Turkish security firm VipSec.

A wreath made from knitted poppies rests on a headstone at the Shell Green Cemetery below Lone Pine on the Gallipoli Peninsular on Wednesday . Corporal Andrew Barnett of the Australian Army Band, who will play the bugle at the upcoming Dawn Service commemoration ceremony to honour Australian and New Zealand soldiers killed in the Gallipoli Campaign, stands at Anzac Cove on Wednesday . 'It's normally stressful but we are working here very proudly,' he told AAP as workers carried on with final preparations at Lone Pine. 'We can't look at this project like a business.' The civilian security team, which will handle bag and entry checks for 8000 Australians at the Lone Pine service on Anzac Day, is just a part of the enormous security machine that has swung into operation across the Gallipoli peninsula. Nearly 4000 national and paramilitary police, and at least 1000 Turkish soldiers will be on duty when the memorial sites are locked down over Friday and Saturday. More than 10,000 Australians and New Zealanders are expected to attend the Anazc Commemorative site at Gallipoli for the Anzac Day 100th anniversary commemoration this year.

Richie Benaud spent a lifetime in the sun and in his final years he ruefully admitted that he was paying the price for it with skin cancers on his forehead and the top of his head. The 84-year-old, who died on Friday, talked about his cancer and the treatment he was undergoing with typical candour. 'When I was a kid we never ever wore a cap,' Benaud told the Nine Network about growing up in Australia in the 1930s and 40s. 'I wish I had. You live and learn as you go along.' The cricket commentary box legend talked about the radiation treatment he was receiving for his skin cancer. Benaud, who hadn't returned to his commentary job for the Nine Network following a car accident in October 2013 in which he suffered serious injuries, had looked increasingly frail and had lost weight. But he had been out walking with his beloved wife Daphne for 40 minutes every morning, in the hope that he could return to work. Scroll down for video . Skin cancer: Richie Benaud, pictured at the SCG in January 2013, revealed late last year that he had skin cancer and was receiving radiation treatment, admitting that 'as a kid we never ever wore a cap' but using the opportunity to advise all Australians to cover their heads . Marvellous: Richie Benaud, pictured in 1961 in Britain when he was captaining the Test series, admitted last year that he had never worn head gear as a young player because he had been influence by legendary all rounder Keith Miller, saying 'when I was a kid, you never ever wore a cap ... that's because Keith Miller never wore a cap' 'Master of the microphone': Cricket fans pictured applauding Richie Benaud as he covered his last match on English soil at The Oval in London, the Ashes Test between England and Australia in 2005 . Super effort: A victorious Australian captain Richie Benaud leads his team from the field at Old Trafford in 1961 after winning the Ashes in the fourth Test against England in which he sensationally took five wickets for 13 runs in 25 balls, instigating England's collapse . 'Morning everybody': Richie Benaud commentated cricket for more than four decades following a stellar career as a Test cricketer during which he batted, bowled and captained Australia from the late 1950s to his retirement in 1964 . Benaud had been driving his beloved car - a 1963 Sunbeam Alpine - back from hitting practice golf balls at the Australian Golf Club in Sydney when he lost control and hit a parked car and then a small brick fence. He was hospitalised with shoulder, spinal and chest injuries and a broken sternum. He was subsequently diagnosed with skin cancer and began treatment last year, revealing that doctors were pleased with his progress. He told reporters last November he was 'coping with it very well'. The cricket legend said he believed the cancers were caused by playing cricket in the sun without a hat or sunscreen. Long history behind the microphone: Richie Benaud looks on during the fifth test match between England and Australia in August 1989, wearing one of his trademark light-coloured jackets which were his signature along with his unique commentary . Fan favourite: Richie Benaud was such a legend as a cricet commentator in his trademark cream jacket that he inspired a legion of fans dressed up in Australian cricket fans dressed up and wearing silver wigs and and carrying foam microphones at the Ashes Test at the SCG in January 2014 . The voice of Australian cricket: Richie Benaud, pictured at The Oval during the September 2005 Ashes Test, was one of Australian sport's great personalities and the boss of the commentary box at Test matches in Australia and Britain . Richie Benaud, pictured with Worcestor captain Don Kenyon before an Australia v Worcester match in England, captained Australia and played 63 Test matches in the late 1950s and the early 1960s, helping to restore the country's reputation as a cricketing nation . What a catch: Richie Benaud, pictured with his beloved wife, Daphne, at Randwick racecourse in 2007, said that following a serious car crash and then treatment for skin cancer he and Daphne had been walking for '40 minutes a day' to ease him back to good health in the hope he could return to the commentary box . The former Australian test cricketer seized on the opportunity to encourage Australians to protect themselves from the sun. 'I recommend to everyone they wear protection on their heads,' he said. 'Eighty-four-year-olds don't seem to mend as well as they used to.' He said he was still recovering from the car accident injuries which included two fractured vertebrae. However, he expressed the belief he would make a return to cover the fourth Test against India at the SCG in Sydney, and had been out walking with his beloved wife Daphne every morning in an effort to regain his health. Hero worship: Fans dressed as Richie Benaud in silver wigs and cream or beige sports jackets hold aloft imitation Nine Network microphones at the Sydney Test match in January 2014 . Legend among legends: Benaud at the SCG with fellow cricketers turned commentators Ian Healey, Michael Slater, Brett Lee, Ian Chappell and Bill Lawry dressed in pink for McGrath Foundation day during the Sydney test between Australia and Sri Lanka in January 2013 . 'Progress is slow,' he said. 'I've been doing a lot of walking. 'We are out every morning, doing 40-minute walks every morning and it's showing beneficial effects.' Without the information on skin cancer danger now available during his playing days, Benaud revealed he was influenced by the example of great all rounder Keith Miller. 'When I was a kid, you never ever wore a cap - not a flash one,' Benaud said. 'That's because Keith Miller never wore a cap. Arthur Morris did when he went out to bat. 'We follow various people and 'Nugget' Miller never wore anything on his head, so I didn't. 'I wish I had.'

The work of Abi Gordon-Cody is certainly not for the squeamish. Her Instagram posts of severed fingers, rotting flesh and impaled limbs may seem like the work of an extremely violent (or extremely clumsy) person but Abi's injuries are, in fact, all a clever illusion. Abi, 26, from Droitwich, Worcestershire, works as a special effects make-up artist with the daily challenge of trying to find ways of slicing off fingers and impaling bodies in a completely pain-free way. Scroll down for video . Make-up artist Abi Gordon-Cody creates gruesome injuries using special effects . Abi often stars in her own pictures, taking selfies of a bloody pencil seemingly impaled through her nostril and emerging from the bridge of her nose, or a shot of a foot that has trodden on a long rusty nail. In one picture, her toes appear to have been chopped off, while in another, a bloody ear has teeth marks where skin should be and in another, her forearm is covered in a huge iron 'burn'. One of her most inventive is a zombie rictus grin which she made by building up layers of toilet paper, latex and fake blood on her face. However, Abi's talents stretch beyond mangled makeovers having worked in theatre and helped out on film sets and she says that her work can involve beautifying rather than horrifying a client. She told Movie Pilot: 'I am constantly building up my portfolio as a make-up artist. It includes what I like to call, 'pretty make up' such as bridal and special occasions, but more importantly from blushing bride to bleeding eyes I specialise specifically in special effects creation of realistic wounds, injuries and traumas.' Abi's gory recreations of wounds have earned her a loyal following of almost 3000 on Instagram . Abi says that she was inspired to go into stage make-up by her family who worked in showbiz . As well as her gory recreations Abi works as a general make-up artist for weddings and events . Yet while Abi's love of re-creating serious injuries may seem ghoulish, the make-up expert's interest is informed by her unusual background growing up in a theatrical family. Her grandparents owned a circus, her father was a real life cowboy, stuntman and prop maker and her mother started out as a stylish stage hypnotherapist and went on to become the first female escapologist. Abi watched her father transform himself into different characters and she studied her mother while she applied stage make-up. Now her gory Instagram profile with its uncanny depictions of horror scenarios and hideous household accidents has attracted almost 3,000 followers as users take note for possible pranks or Halloween inspiration. Abi titled this post 'day-dreaming nightmare' as she replicates a finger being severed by a potato peeler . Abi says that she used to watch her mother apply stage make-up as a child . Abi says that her busiest time of year is Halloween... unsurprisingly . And yet Abi admits that some horror films terrify her. She tells Movie Pilot that even though she finds the Saw films 'hard to stomach', the special effects are incredible. She said: 'I’d have loved to have been in on those early planning sessions. The make-up team must have been in their element and I can only imagine how fun and rewarding working on such a film was, now something like that is where I want to be!' So far she has put her skills to good use creating realistic injuries from a derailed train simulation to for an emergency service training exercise. In fact, she watches gruesome flicks for inspiration rather than thrills. 'Horror films do inspire me, and now when I watch them I zoom in on how the make-up was created instead of just what it is,' she said. And everyday life provides plenty of fuel for her over-active imagination. 'I look at everyday objects and think of the bad things that could happen,' she said. Abi often incorporates kitchen props to replicate household accidents .

Bournemouth moved four points clear at the top of the Championship with a win against Brighton as manager Eddie Howe set club records tumbling. They scored with their first shot on target in the 70th minute, well worth the wait when Yann Kermorgant hit a wonderful 25-yard free-kick which wrong-footed Brighton goalkeeper David Stockdale and flew into the left of goal. With only their second accurate effort, in the 81st minute, Callum Wilson extended their lead by running on to Kermorgant’s ball over the top and twice turned Greg Halford before finishing. Callum Wilson puts the Cherries 2-0 ahead with a sublime finish in the 81st minute . Yann Kermorgant fires Bournemouth into the lead with sweetly-taken free-kick in the 70th minute .

Manager: Eddie Howe . Booked: Smith . Referee: Craig Pawson . Stadium: Amex Stadium . Attendance: 25,919 . In doing so they set a club record 106 goals in all competitions, beating 104 from the 1956-57 and 1928-29 seasons. And Wilson’s strike was their 89th league goal of the season, moving clear of the previous record 88 they scored in the Division Three South in the 1956-57 season. Prior to the goals they had not looked like the typically fluent Bournemouth that has made them league leaders for the majority of the campaign. The passes were hit that little bit too long, the crosses went out for goal kicks and the through balls were slightly mistimed. Brighton’s Leon Best got in behind their defence in the 58th minute and shaped to bend an effort into the right of goal but his shot was woeful, weak and straight at Artur Boruc. Four minutes later, Mustafa Carayol made a driving run through the middle and got a powerful shot away from the edge of the box but Bournemouth captain Tommy Elphick dived in front to block. But Bournemouth showed they can win ugly and when the game is not going their way, as well as dominating teams with their passing. Howe is well aware that nerves will come into play with his players as they battle for promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their history. Yet his side are starting to demonstrate that they can handle the pressure. Four more games remain, against Reading, Sheffield Wednesday, Bolton and Charlton - a run of fixtures which they should deal with comfortably.

The baby boom generation is set to leave one last burden to its children and grandchildren – a wave of funeral debt. The cost of paying for rising numbers of deaths as the unprecedented numbers of post-World War Two babies come to the end of their lives may be too much for many families, a report said. It predicted that numbers of deaths in Britain, which have been falling for 40 years, will start to go up and increase by 20 per cent over the next two decades. At the same time the price of a funeral is rising fast, thanks to higher costs for cremation, rising undertakers’ bills as funeral firms are faced with bad debts, and the increasing fees demanded by churches. Deaths in Britain, which have been falling for 40 years, will start to go up and increase by 20 per cent over the next two decades, a report by a think tank has found (file photo) The report, prepared by an old age think tank, the International Longevity Centre-UK, and backed by insurance firm OneFamily, suggests that younger people who already feel financially hard pressed in comparison to their parents will still be under money pressure even after their deaths. Younger people are finding it increasingly difficult to afford homes or to start families, and in the long-term their pensions are much less secure than those of their parents, many of whom enjoyed the generous and fast-disappearing defined benefit pension system. The report from ILC-UK to be published next week said that death rates are set to go up following a long period in which medical advances, better diet, healthier lifestyles and the growing unpopularity of smoking, and the decline of dangerous heavy industrial jobs, have meant fewer people have been dying despite a rising population. ‘After decades of the number of deaths in the UK falling, 2015 will mark a tipping point where the historic trend starts to reverse,’ it said. ‘As the oldest of the baby boomer generation move through their later years, deaths are predicted to rise by 20 per cent.’ It added: ‘This will have significant implications for current forecasts of funeral costs and highlights a growing need for families to broach the delicate subject of end of life expenses.’ A 'simple' funeral with a cremation, a minister and an undertaker now costs £3, 590 . Baroness Sally Greengross of ILC-UK said: ‘More than half of UK households have less than £3,000 in savings and many will struggle to cover funeral costs. ‘We all need to talk more about dying and ensure we are prepared for the inevitable. State support for funerals is complex and inadequate and without reforms will contribute to more people falling victim to funeral debt.’ The report said that funeral costs have already risen by 80 per cent over the past 10 years and costs are set to go up further. A ‘simple’ funeral, with a cremation, a minister and an undertaker, now costs an average of £3,590, it found. However a family that wants to throw in a memorial stone, death notices, flowers, limousines, a wake and somewhere to hold it, is likely to be looking at spending almost £2,000 more. An average ‘full works’ funeral now costs £5,423, the report said. Costs are going up, it found, partly for technical reasons. Crematoria now need to cover costs for removing fillings from the teeth of the dead, for example, because they must remove mercury from the body before disposal. Funeral firms are under growing costs pressures, not least because some families cannot or will not pay their bills, and the fees for a Church of England vicar to conduct the funeral went up in 2013 from £102 to £160. More than one in five families do not have money left by the deceased to help with the cost of the funeral, the report said. | Number of deaths in Britain will increase by 20% over the next 20 years .
Funeral firms are faced with bad debts and have increased their prices .
A funeral with a cremation, minister and an undertaker now costs £3,590 .
Younger people may be straddled with 'funeral debts' due to higher fees . | [

A Mexican cartel boss known as 'The Liquidator' has been detained by the country's authorities, who claim he is 'linked to the bloodiest events ever recorded in Juarez City'. Mexican federal authorities arrested Juarez Cartel boss Jesus Salas Aguayo on Friday, bringing an end to the career of a criminal who was famed for dispatching his enemies with the use of dynamite. Earning the nickname 'The Liquidator' for the brutal and ruthless methods that earned him a place on the DEA's Most Wanted list, Aguayo is charged with multiple felonies including the distribution of narcotics, homicide and arms trafficking. Scroll down for video . Fearsome: Jesus Salas Aguayo, a former gun for hire and Jarez Cartel boss known for his brutal murders of rivals, was arrested on Friday by Mexican police . Mexican authorities link over twenty deaths directly to The Liquidator, including the 2009 murder of a state witness in El Paso, a 2010 car-bombing which claimed the lives of two federal police officers and a 2012 massacre of fifteen people in a Juarez City bar. In 2008 the Sinaloa Cartel declared war on the Juarez Cartel as it sought to take control of Ciudad Juarez, a city of 1.5 million people that sits on the border with El Paso, Texas. That year alone saw 1,600 homicides in the city, and Ciudad Juarez City achieved the title of the most dangerous city in the world for three consecutive years. Jesus Aguayo, also known as 'El Chuyín', led the assault on the invading Sinaloa forces, causing the bloodshed of narcos, Mexican authorities and civilians alike. A respected 'sicario' or hired gun, The Liquidator was known to have spoken of his ambitions to one day run his own drug cartel. In 2008 he was hired by the Juarez Cartel bosses, who sent him to Ciudad Juarez to take over command of La Línea (The Line), the cartel's street-level army of assassins, who were notorious for mutilating the bodies of their enemies and civilians alike. The Jaurez Cartel was formerly one of the most feared in Mexico, but is now all but extinct following a war with the Sinoala cartel, and high profile arrests (pictured, boss Ricardo Gracia Urquiza is arrested in 2005) The Juarez Cartel eventually lost the conflict after three murderous years, and today its agents are spread widely across Chihuahua state. Today Juarez City, once a lively and popular border town, shows the scars of a drug war that cost nearly ten thousand lives over the space of four years. Entire districts of the city are deserted, rare are the buildings not marked with bullet holes and there are sections where even the police dare not enter given the narcos' stranglehold on the territory. The arrest of The Liquidator occurred on Friday in his hometown of Villa Ahumada, some 80 miles south of Ciudad Juarez. A gunfight occurred as the task-force moved in to detain Aguayo and his two bodyguards, one of whom was killed in an exchange of fire. Following The Liquidator's detention, federal agents seized a number of items that were in his possession, including 2 SUVs, 4 quad-bikes, a large bag of marijuana, a heavy-duty assault rifle, US$20,000 in cash and some 17 mobile telephones. Danger: Soldiers stand guard atop vehicles along a road where Aguayo was detained last week . Aguayo had been cartel boss for six months before he was captured after taking over from Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, arrested in October last year . Following his arrest, The Liquidators criminal associates fled northwards to the town of Buenaventura and the surrounding region, threatening local people with death if they did not help them in their plight. A number of complaints were made to the police from residents of the town. The Liquidator had only been in the top spot for six months, following the arrest of former Juarez Cartel boss Vicente Carrillo in October of last year. The arrest is expected to put an end to what is an already significantly weakened criminal organisation following its defeat at the hands of Sinaloa. Following a difficult 2014 for the Mexican government – a scandal-filled year topped by the disappearance of 43 students at the hands of local police in Guerrero state - the country's authorities have made a number of drug kingpin arrests. 'This government has neutralised 93 of the total 122 targets that it set out when it came to power', National Security Commissioner Alejandro Rubido told reporters following The Liquidator's arrest. Saturday saw the arrest of another cartel boss, José Tiburcio Hernandez, supposed leader of the Gulf Cartel that operates on the eastern end of the US-Mexico border. His arrest in Reynosa, a town which borders McAllen in Texas saw the sustained attack by over 60 armed criminals in 15 vehicles on the District Attorney's office in the town centre. The criminals laid siege to the building for over three hours without success in an attempt to prevent their leader's extraction to Mexico City, where he and Jesus Aguayo will both be formally charged with drug trafficking, homicide and multiple other felonies this week. The Juarez Cartel, which was founded in 1970, claims to be the first drug cartel to have moved cocaine into the United States by aircraft. The Barrio Azteca gang, which operates in a number of Texas cities including El Paso and Houston is aligned with the Juarez Cartel . | Jesus Salas Aguayo, current leader of the Juarez Cartel, under arrest .

It was another momentous night in Barcelona's proud European history, Neymar and Luis Suarez rampaging through Paris Saint-Germain's defence to put one foot in the Champions League semi-finals. And Barcelona's second of the night, in the 67th minute when Suarez stormed through, nutmegged David Luiz and finished, was their 400th goal in the competition. The landmark has been achieved in 202 matches since 1992 when the European Champions Clubs' Cup became the modern Champions League we know and love. The two goals scored by Luis Suarez against PSG took Barcelona past 400 Champions League goals . Barcelona have reached the landmark in 202 Champions League matches since 1992 . Barcelona won the quarter-final, first-leg match 3-1 to put themselves in control of the tie . Barcelona still have a little way to go before they catch Real Madrid's 436 Champions League goals. Table courtesy of Opta . However, Barcelona still have a some way to go to match the 436 goals scored in the competition by their great rivals Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are way out on top in the club scoring charts, with Bayern Munich coming in third with 349 goals and Manchester United fourth with 343. Over the Champions League years, Barcelona have found the net most against AC Milan (22), followed by Celtic and Chelsea on 18 apiece. They have scored 17 times against United, Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen. And it will come as little surprise that Argentine superstar Lionel Messi is way out in front in the breakdown of Barcelona Champions League scorers with 75, the joint-most in the tournament with Cristiano Ronaldo. Brazilian star Rivaldo comes in second with 22 goals, followed by Patrick Kluivert (20), Luis Enrique (19) and Samuel Eto'o (16). To mark Barcelona passing 400 Champions League goals, we take a look at some of the highlights. Barcelona 4 Manchester United 0 (1994-95 group stage) A United side hampered by a limit on foreign players had the misfortune to encounter Johan Cruyff's Barcelona 'Dream Team' at the wrong time. Hristo Stoichkov and Romario ran United's makeshift defence ragged in front of 114,000 fans, with the Bulgarian scoring twice and the Brazilian once before Albert Ferrer completed United's humiliation. Romario fires home Barcelona's second goal in their 1994 rout of Manchester United in the Nou Camp . Barcelona 5 Chelsea 1 (1999-2000 quarter-final, second leg) Leading 3-1 from the first leg at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea fancied their chances of getting through ahead of the return. Rivaldo's deflected free-kick and Luis Figo's goal had erased the deficit by half-time, though Tore Andre Flo put Chelsea back in the box seat. They were seven minutes from going through when Dani Garcia made it 3-1 and there was still time for Rivaldo to miss a penalty. Chelsea's defence crumbled in extra-time, another penalty, this time converted by Rivaldo, and a fifth from Patrick Kluivert carried Barcelona through. Luis Figo curls the ball home during Barcelona's 5-1 win over Chelsea in 2000 . Barcelona 2 Arsenal 1 (2006 final in Paris) The Champions League triumph that signalled the beginning of Barcelona's golden age. They needed two goals in the last 14 minutes to overcome the stubborn resistance of Arsenal, who had been reduced to 10 men when Jens Lehmann brought down Samuel Eto'o just 18 minutes in. The Gunners sensationally took the lead through Sol Campbell's thumping header eight minutes before half-time but couldn't hold out as Eto'o and Juliano Belletti sunk them late on. Captain Carles Puyol lifts the trophy with Ronaldinho after Barcelona's 2006 win over Arsenal . Barcelona 4 Bayern Munich 0 (2008-09 quarter-final, first leg) Pep Guardiola's star-studded team showed their Champions League-winning potential with this demolition of Bayern in which all four goals came before half-time. In no mood to hang around, Lionel Messi opened the scoring after nine minutes and Eto'o added another three minutes later. A second from Messi and another from Thierry Henry essentially settled the two-legged contest before half-time. Thierry Henry salutes Samuel Eto'o after rounding off Barcelona's 4-0 rout of Bayern Munich in 2009 . Barcelona 2 Manchester United 0 (2009 final in Rome) Sir Alex Ferguson's team were going for their second Champions League triumph in a row and had beaten Barcelona in the 2008 semi-finals. Guardiola's team had other ideas and exacted revenge thanks to a 10th-minute opener from Eto'o and Messi's clincher 20 minutes from time. It was Barcelona's midfield partnership of Xavi and Andres Iniesta that ran the game. Lionel Messi (left) and Andres Iniesta parade the European Cup after the 2009 win over Manchester United . Barcelona 4 Arsenal 1 (2009-10 quarter-final, second leg) One of Messi's finest performances as the maestro scored four times to demolish Arsenal's Champions League hopes. With the last-eight tie locked at 2-2 from the first leg, the Nou Camp was stunned when Nicklas Bendtner scored a precious away goal on 18 minutes. From then on, it was a one-man show. Messi had equalised within three minutes and had Barcelona in control with another couple before the break, including a sumptuous lob. A fourth late on made it an emphatic win. Messi scored four times as Barcelona demolished Arsenal in a 2010 quarter-final . Real Madrid 0 Barcelona 2 (2010-11 Semi-final, first leg) This Clasico semi-final in 2011 was a dream come true for all football fans and it was Messi and Barcelona that kept their cool as tempers frayed. Real hothead Pepe was sent off in the 61st minute and boss Jose Mourinho sent to the Bernabeu stands shortly afterwards for protesting. Cue Messi to seize control, turning home Ibrahim Afellay's cross and then setting off on a 30-yard run to score the second. Barcelona pile on Messi after his goal in the Bernabeu semi-final back in 2011 . Barcelona 3 Manchester United 1 (2011 final at Wembley) Barcelona were unquestionably the best team in Europe at this time and another final triumph over United confirmed this. At Wembley, Pedro gave them the lead in the 27th minute, only for Wayne Rooney to level shortly afterwards. But Barca were by far the better team, dominating possession, and it came as little surprise when Messi fired home at the start of the second half. David Villa made sure 20 minutes from time as Barca claimed a third European Cup in five years. Pep Guardiola is thrown into the air by Barcelona after their 2011 final win over Manchester United . Barcelona 7 Bayer Leverkusen 1 (2011-12 last 16, second leg) Messi raised his game to even greater heights, becoming the first player to score five goals in a Champions League fixture in this seven-goal drubbing of Bayer Leverkusen. Leading 3-1 from the first leg in Germany, there was little pressure on Barca and their domination was exemplified by their 865 passes in the game to the German side's 217. Many of them found their way to Messi, who scored twice before half-time and added another three after. Messi slots home his fourth goal in Barcelona's 7-1 demolition of Bayer Leverkusen in 2012 . Manchester City 0 Barcelona 2 (2013-14 last 16, first leg) City desperately wanted to make a statement on the European stage but Barcelona had other ideas in this clinical away performance. The decisive moment came in the 54th minute when Messi was fouled by Martin Demichelis, who was sent off. Messi dusted himself down to convert the penalty and Dani Alves delivered a late second after swapping passes with Neymar. Messi converts from the penalty spot in Barcelona's 2-0 win at Manchester City last season . 22 goals - AC Milan . 18 - Celtic, Chelsea . 17 - Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal . 16 - Panathinaikos, Lyon . 14 - Galatasaray . 13 - Shakhtar Donetsk, Spartak Moscow, Paris Saint-Germain . 10 - Ajax, Stutgart . 9 - Porto, BATE Borisov . 8 - Sporting Lisbon, Werder Bremen, Newcastle United . 75 - Lionel Messi . 22 - Rivaldo . 20 - Patrick Kluivert . 19 - Luis Enrique . 16 - Samuel Eto'o . 15 - Pedro . 14 - Ronaldinho . 11 - Javier Saviola, Xavi . 10 - Andres Iniesta . 8 - Neymar, Thierry Henry, Hristo Stoichkov, David Villa . 7 - Luis Figo, Gerard Pique, own goals . | Barcelona have now scored 401 goals in the Champions League .

London commuters faced traffic chaos this morning while thousands are still without power as firefighters battle to extinguish an underground blaze that has been raging for more than 24 hours. More than 2,000 office workers had to be evacuated yesterday due to the fire in Holborn which apparently started in a tunnel carrying electrical cables, causing flames to erupt from the pavement and filling the area with smoke. Although the blaze has now been brought under control it has not been put out entirely, and firefighters still do not know the cause of the fire. Scroll down for video . Blaze: The scene in Holborn today, where a fire has been raging for more than 24 hours . Emergency: Firefighters and gas workers were still battling to put out the fire a day later . Plume: Flames rose up from the street in the deserted part of central London today . Continuing: Firefighters spraying water into a manhole in a bid to put out a fire in Holborn . Much of the area is cordoned off as firefighters struggle to extinguish the fire, while there were reports of major delays in central London. Commuters were urged to avoid travelling through Holborn if possible, and firefighters were unable to estimate when the situation might return to normal. Tonight 35 firefighters and police officers remain at Kingsway, where flames were seen erupting from a manhole cover yesterday. Kingsway is closed, as is the Strand underpass, while Waterloo Bridge is closed northbound. Transport for London said that 15 bus routes were being diverted, and witnesses described seeing dozens of buses backed up along High Holborn, but Underground services have returned to normal. More than 1,000 buildings remain without power today, with businesses, government departments and tourist attractions forced to close ahead of the Easter weekend. firefighters and gas workers continue to tackle the flames in the Kingsway Service Tunnel . Carnage: Parts of the road had to be dug up in an attempt to extinguish the fire below the ground . The underground fire has stopped power workers from accessing their equipment . Jets: Firefighters deployed multiple hoses to combat the blaze which wreaked havoc on the area . Exhausted: Firefighters looked tired as they took a break after working at the scene for hours . Blocked: Roads were closed in the wake of the fire, whose cause is still unknown . UK Power Networks said that 100 staff had worked through the night to restore electricity to the area, but it is not known when buildings will regain power. A spokesman said: 'A major gas fire in an underground tunnel is still burning so we cannot yet access our equipment. 'Our engineers have restored power to 2,000 customers and the remaining 1,100 will regain power through generators and cable works as soon as possible. 'We had over a hundred staff working through the night and work continues today. 'We are working with the emergency services and other agencies to keep affected customers updated. The cause of the incident is being investigated.' Fire crews last night doused the hole with water before they smashed the cover open with a sledgehammer, and continued to pump in water from multiple hoses. Peter Cowup of London Fire Brigade said that the fact the fire started in an underground tunnel meant it had been tricky to bring it under control. 'This has been a technically difficult incident to tackle,' he said. 'The reason that the fire is still burning is because the service tunnel is hard to reach and although firefighters have been applying water through access points throughout the night, the complexity of the tunnel layout means that it will be some time until the fire is fully extinguished. 'However, the fire is contained and we are making steady progress and working with the utility companies and the police to bring this incident to a close.' Works: More than 100 power workers were deployed to restore electricity to businesses in central London . Disruption: The road closures were said to have caused severe traffic jams in the surrounding area . Peter Cowup of London Fire Brigade said the blaze was 'a technically difficult incident to tackle' Deserted: The Holborn area was emptied of workers and shoppers thanks to the disruption . Closure: Shops had signs in their windows apologising for the inconvenience . One council boss warned that there was a 'worrying trend' of pavements exploding in central London and said that businesses had been hit by the accidents. 'We do not fully yet know what caused the fire in Holborn on Wednesday,' said Richard Beddoe of Westminster Council. 'However, pavements have exploded in central London previously and it is a very worrying trend. 'Our message remains the same - we want to see better investment in the capital's infrastructure, as it benefits the whole UK. 'We are relieved to hear that there were no serious casualties, but the losses to big businesses in the West End, due to poor infrastructure, is just not acceptable. We want to see action.' In July, Piccadilly Circus was closed after an electrical fault beneath a manhole cover caused an explosion which resulted in a lorry catching fire. Meanwhile, in February last year, 50 people were evacuated from a street in north London after a pavement burst into flames. And in April 2013, a fireball burst from a pavement in Pimlico Road, central London, narrowly missing a passer-by standing yards away. A UK Power Networks spokesman said: 'There have been a small number of incidents disturbing pavements over recent years, caused by a variety of reasons and affecting utility infrastructures underground.' Blackout: Power was knocked out across the area and more than 1,000 buildings remain without electricity . Dramatic: This aerial image shows how a wide area of London was left without power . Scene: These file photos show tunnels under Holborn near to where the fire broke out . Smoke: More than 2,000 workers were forced to flee their central London workplaces . Among the buildings affected by the fire is the Royal Courts of Justice, home to the High Court and Court of Appeal, which was due to remain closed all day. Somerset House, the London School of Economics and the London Transport Museum were closed, while the English National Ballet cancelled its planned matinée performances of Swan Lake. One of the offices affected by the fire was that of HM Inspectorate of Prisons, which is closed as a result of the power cut. Gillian Perham, 54, lives near the fire and said there had been similar incidents in recent years. 'There was an exploding pavement not far from here last year,' she said. 'We are fed up with it. I'm terrified it's going to happen when I'm near one.' At one point yesterday, 70 firefighters and 10 engines were at the scene of the blaze, which forced a number of West End theatres to cancel shows last night, including The Lion King, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Play That Goes Wrong. In a separate incident, 15 engines were called to a fire on an industrial unit in north London. | Main roads in Holborn are closed more than 24 hours after fire broke out .

It's official: alcohol makes you more attractive to the opposite sex. And that's when you are boozing, not them. Scientists at the University of Bristol found that having 'one large glass of wine' increases 'facial flushing' and 'confidence', making the drinker 'more attractive' to others and more likely to 'get lucky'. Researchers quizzed 40 heterosexual male and female students and asked them to rate the attractiveness of three groups of people who were sober, tipsy and drunk. A study of 40 men and women found drinking a glass of wine makes you more attractive to the opposite sex... ...but too much booze leads to 'excessive and unattractive' changes in facial expressions, like Bridget Jones . The study found that tipsy people, who had downed one large 250ml glass of 14 per cent wine - that's one-third of the bottle - were consistently voted as the 'most attractive'. Sober subjects and those who had 'had a few too many' were rated as far less attractive than a 'tipsy' subject. Academics have previously confirmed the existence of the 'beer goggles' phenomenon - in which boozers find other people more attractive after several drinks. This new study, however, is the first time it had been shown that the drinker themselves actually 'becomes more attractive' to others, in an experiment dubbed 'reverse beer goggles'. The study found that alcohol had a 'positive pulling power', but only if the subject was 'not hammered'. It states that booze 'mimics' how a person's body 'demonstrates it is healthy and attractive to attract potential mates' and that facial flushing is perceived by others as 'healthy and attractive'. Alcohol also makes people seem in a 'more positive or jolly mood' and encourages people to 'relax' and give off 'positive' signals, such as smiling - increasing their attractiveness levels. The study states: 'In addition to perceiving others as more attractive, an alcohol consumer may also be perceived by others as more attractive, and therefore receive greater sexual interest from potential mates. 'An increase in such attention from others may also positively reinforce alcohol consumption, particularly in social contexts.' The study found alcohol has 'positive pulling power' but only if the person isn't too intoxicated . The study said, however, that too much booze led to 'changes in facial expressions which were excessive and unattractive' - leading to a decrease in 'pulling power'. It adds: 'In conclusion, our data indicate that alcohol consumption may lead to consumers being rated as more attractive than sober individuals, but only following low levels of consumption. 'At higher levels of consumption this effect is not observed, and may even be reversed.' Professor Marcus Munafo, a senior researcher on the Bristol University study, said: 'The people who had consumed a small amount of alcohol had a slightly rosier complexion than they did in their sober and high-dose photos. 'Rosiness is attractive because it characterises good physical health characteristics. 'You consume a drink, so you see other people as more attractive, but you also become more attractive yourself because you've consumed a drink. 'But if they go on to consume more alcohol, they're no longer rated as more attractive.' In a previous study last year, again at the University of Bristol, it was found that 'beer goggles' - in which booze makes others seems more attractive - was a proven phenomena. Volunteers drank either alcohol or a non-alcoholic placebo before looking at images of men's and women's faces - as well a landscape portraits. Those who drank alcohol found all three image types more attractive compared with those who did not. David Simmons, 31, of High Wycombe, Bucks, said last week: 'So if I want to pull I need to drink either a third of a bottle of wine or a couple of pints and then draw a line under boozing for the night. 'I can't really see that happened as after a couple you always want more, but if it improves my chances of pulling I'll give it a shot.' | Study finds booze 'mimics' how a person's body demonstrates health .

The mother of an Australian man who was killed in Syria during a clash against Islamic State, has finally farewelled her son after his body was brought back onto home soil. Ashley Johnston, 28, was shot in February in Rojava, near the Turkish border, while fighting with the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) and was given a heroes send off in Macquarie Park, Sydney, on Thursday morning. Although his mother Amanda Johnston had no idea her son was at war in the Middle East until she learnt of his death, the proud mother paid a touching tribute to his final action in life at his funeral. Scroll down for video . Amanda Jonston (centre) the mother of former soldier Ashley Johnston, walks in front of her son's coffin as it is carried out of the chapel during his funeral service at Macquarie Park Cemetery on Thursday . 'Ashley put his life on the line to stand up for what is good, for what is just, to protect and defend not just innocent people caught up in this war but you and I and people everywhere,' Mrs Johnston said as she fought back tears. The Queenslander, who lived in the ACT, is believed to be the first Westerner to die in battle against IS. Ashley Johnston, originally from Maryborough in Queensland, but who had most recently been living in Canberra, told his mother Amanda he was simply heading to the Middle East to do humanitarian work. The Australian reportedly died on February 24 in a small village near Shingal in Iraq, close to the border with Syrian Kurdistan . However he was fighting against the IS rule and was shot in a clash with their forces in February. Johnston said in his final interview before his death, that he was afraid of returning home because he thought he'd be treated like a terrorist. At the time, his mother Amanda Johnston told the Sydney Morning Herald that she was in disbelief that her son was fighting against ISIS in Syria. 'I just kept calling because I didn't believe it was true. I know in my head that it is actually Ash but the rest of me doesn't like to believe it's true,' she said when she learnt of his death. Members of Australia's Kurdish community carry the coffin of former soldier Ashley Johnston . Mr Johnston's mother did not know that her son was in Syria fighting with Kurdish soldiers against ISIS until she heard of his death . 'I just said, "I need to talk to you. You have to ring me. I don't believe that what I've been told is true. I need you to ring me and tell me what's going on … I need to hear your voice."' Mr Johnston served for seven years with Australia's Army Reserves before going travelling and becoming moved by the struggle of ethnic Kurds against IS militants, who have taken control of large parts of Syria of Iraq. His body finally arrived home in Canberra last week, leaving Mrs Johnston to face the grim task of identifying him. She reportedly slapped her son's body when she saw him and then kissed him on the face. According to a family member, his mother would not have supported his choice to fight with the Kurdish people in Syria. Mr Johnston's coffin was draped in the Australian and Kurdistan Democratic Union (PYD) party flags, and was carried by men and women dressed in khaki fatigues and scarves in PYD colours of red, yellow and green . Mr Johnston who worked for seven years as part of the Australian Army Reserves is believed to be the first Westerner to die in battle against IS . 'She wouldn't have supported him fighting there in any shape or form,' a family spokesman told Fairfax Media. 'She doesn't want anyone to go over there, no matter which side they are on.' Sitting with hundreds of mourners, many with pictures of her son and a YPG star pinned to their chests, she listened on Thursday to the story of his legacy. 'We came from different lands, different cultures, different religions and different languages' Saadet Ozdemir, a Kurdish community member from Sydney, said. 'A young man from Canberra by the name of Ashley Johnston brought our communities together not just in Australia but globally.' Ashley Johnston, originally from Maryborough in Queensland but had most recently been living in Canberra, told his mother Amanda he was simply heading to the Middle East to do humanitarian work . Mourners at his funeral wore T-shirts imprinted with Mr Johnston's image and carried badges to honour the fallen soldier . The service heard Mr Johnston was among eight fighters in a broken-down truck confronted and outnumbered by IS. His comrades said he sacrificed himself to draw enemy fire, a move that saved them. She was joined by over 300 weeping mourners from the Kurdish community, many of whom had never met the 28-year-old Australian army reservist and yet had his picture pinned to their chests alongside the YPG star. Mr Johnston's coffin was draped in the Australian and Kurdistan Democratic Union (PYD) party flags, and was carried by men and women dressed in khaki fatigues and scarves in PYD colours of red, yellow and green.

Amanda Johnston paid tribute to her son's life at his funeral, claiming he was standing up for what is goof . Kurdish Association of Sydney president Gulfar Olan said Mr Johnston would be remembered as the 'great Australian human rights activist'. 'You gave your life so that our children and our community might live in peace and hope,' she said. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Shiyar Cahal, 22, paid his respects to the Kurdish fighter and said he wished he knew what motivated Mr Johnson to leave Australia to fight in Syria. 'He's our hero,' Mr Cahal said. 'All the Kurdish community has come from all over Australia. He sacrificed himself against ISIS for the Kurdish people and for us that's a big thing. Over 300 weeping mourners from the Kurdish community, many of whom had never met the 28-year-old Australian army reservist and yet had his picture pinned to their chests alongside the YPG star . Men and women in khakis carried Mr Johnston's coffin out of the chapel and into a waiting black hearse as mourners chanted 'They are alive forever' in Kurdish . 'I wish I could ask him what made him go as an Aussie, to see what motivated him against ISIS to give his life.' Men and women in khakis carried Mr Johnston's coffin out of the chapel and into a waiting black hearse as mourners chanted 'They are alive forever' in Kurdish. Although fighting against IS, Mr Johnston could have faced prosecution for serving with a foreign irregular force, which carries a prison sentence of 20 years. It was a notion a representative from the Kurdish Association of Victoria labelled an absurdity. Although fighting against IS, Mr Johnston could have faced prosecution for serving with a foreign irregular force, which carries a prison sentence of 20 years . It is still a mystery to them how Mr Johnston made connections in the Kurdish community in Syria.Although there is concern that he was recruited through a Facebook group . 'It cannot be emphasised enough that although Ashley did not die for Australia, Ashley did die fighting for values that we Australians call our own,' she told the service. It is believed Mr Johnston's family will hold a private burial in Canberra. It is still a mystery to them how Mr Johnston made connections in the Kurdish community in Syria.

Anyone with a heartbeat dreams of hopping around the world, from the bright lights of New York City to the idyllic islands in the South Pacific, but insurmountable costs keep us grounded most of the time. Travel doesn’t come cheap, but it is possible to see some of the most amazing places on the planet on a tight budget or even get paid to do it. All it takes is a few sacrifices, hard work, commitment and an outgoing personality. Here are some of the ways travellers can keep their costs down while satisfying their wanderlust. While travelling the world can cost a lot of money, there are some ways to do it for free, or at leas ton a very tight budget . Stay in a stranger’s house . House-sitting is one of the easiest ways to trim costs on a trip abroad because it eliminates the need to spend a huge amount of money on accommodation. Depending on the arrangement with the property owner, food and transport may be included in exchange for taking care of the person’s home and, in some cases, pets. Properties are advertised on a number of websites, including TrustedHousesitters.com, which charges a membership fee of £5.99 a month. Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune (pictured) are seeing the world while house-sitting for strangers . Laura Cody, 23, and Tanbay Theune, 26, have been criss-crossing the globe after leaving Birmingham in July 2013. They embarked on the adventure after they discussed their desire to travel and became fed up with paying rent every month. Since then they have been staying in strangers’ homes – without having to pay rent or bills – all over Australia, the UK, Germany, Spain and Italy, and have been blogging about the experience. Canadian bloggers Dalene and Peter Heck were recognised with an award from National Geographic after they sold almost all of their possessions and set off on a quest to house-sit around the world. In almost six years they have visited about 30 countries – from Ecuador and Mexico to Turkey and Thailand. House swapping and couch surfing are two other options. Cruise ship workers can see the world, but should be prepared for long periods at sea and long work hours . Work on a cruise ship or superyacht . If motion sickness isn’t a problem, a job with a cruise line is an ideal way to see different parts of the world between shifts. It’s the kind of job for a ‘people person’, as employees live together on the ship and aren’t afforded much privacy. They must also be able to endure long periods at sea and long hours of work. There are jobs for various skill sets – from photographers and musicians to nurses and electrical engineers. But people should do plenty of research into pay, benefits and working conditions before applying. Working on a superyacht is another way to sail around the world while making a salary and tips. Those who commit to this kind of career should expect to work long hours every day and spend a lot of time at sea or port. Again, employees are afforded very little privacy when they’re on board, as they sleep in close quarters with their colleagues. Some owners will even hire private teachers for their children for months at a time. A teacher who goes on an around-the-world trip is usually paid approximately £50,000, said Henry Smith, a sales broker with Cecil Wright, a boutique yacht brokerage with offices in Monaco and London. Volunteering with an organic farm offers a chance to travel and learn while helping others . Make a difference . There are plenty of organisations that allow people to volunteer in impoverished countries where help is desperately needed. They allow people to travel to places they normally wouldn’t visit as a regular tourist and make a positive contribution to the world. World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF), for example, connects farmers and those who are looking to learn more about the industry. Hosts provide accommodation, food and opportunities to learn about organic lifestyles in exchange four to six hours of volunteer work per day. The organisation has a presence in more than 50 countries around the world, including Sierra Leone, Ecuador, Bangladesh, Estonia and Israel. Other examples include working at summer camps or planting trees. Teaching English in a foreign country will bring a regular paycheque and an opportunity to explore . Teach English abroad . It’s not uncommon for those who live in England, the US, Canada or Australia to hear about a friend or a friend of a friend travelling abroad to teach English. The usual destinations where English-language teachers are in demand include South Korea, China, Japan and Jordan. It will bring a regular pay cheque, but it’s not a holiday – with many expected to work full-time hours. But it will leave time to explore the city or country you are teaching in, and neighbouring nations. Successful applicants will need the appropriate credentials and they may have to sign a contract. Before applying they should do their research to make sure they are getting a job with a reputable school. One way to find teach jobs abroad is through the British Council, which runs a language assistant programme for those who have completed at least two years of university education. There are 10 different locations around the world where you can teach for between 12 and 20 hours a week and earn enough money to live. There is an application process and you must commit to a full year, but it is the perfect way to live in another country and still have plenty of time to explore your surroundings, while gaining some valuable life skills. Alternatively, there are many TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) courses that can be taken in the UK ahead of applying to teach abroad through different programmes. Ski resorts in breathtaking locations are always looking for instructors, servers and other employees . Get paid to hit the slopes . Ski resorts in breathtaking locations all over Europe and North America offer seasonal work for a variety of positions, including instructors, bartenders and cooks. Knowing how to ski isn’t a prerequisite, but it’s the perfect opportunity for those who are passionate about skiing or snowboarding, or keen to learn. Perks can include free ski passes, and some resorts are notorious for their parties. One way to stay in a foreign city for free is to arrange a work-to-stay arrangement with a hostel . Work in a hostel . One way to bag free accommodation while travelling around the world is working where you sleep. Travellers can find a work-to-stay arrangement at many hostels, which allows them to stay for free while meeting people from around the world, and may even include some pay. Hostels may require its work-to-stay employees to stay for a minimum amount of time before they move on. Adverts can easily be found online, with one for a hostel in Las Vegas requiring an employee who can work for two to three months over the summer. In addition to a bed the employee is provided breakfast, wifi, parking, coffee and tea, lockers, laundry and nightly activities, plus opportunities to explore the region. The tasks would include one or a mix of housekeeping, maintenance, IT, tour leading and front desk, according to the advert. | High costs are one of the reasons which keep travel plans grounded .
With some hard work and sacrifices people can find free places to stay .

The military mistress is back in the game. Bobbi Ann House, 39, who hit headlines in 2010 for marrying at least 14 servicemen and then draining their bank accounts - with one spouse losing $100,000 to her - is again wanted by police after getting out of prison and remarrying. However this time it is both House and her new husband, Zackerie House, 27, who police are after, accusing the couple of writing a series of bad checks worth at least $13,500. The purchases started in western Oregon in early March, then moved through Oregon coastal towns and into Colorado and Oklahoma. Wanted: Bobbi Ann House, 39, who became known as the 'military mistress' around 2010 for conning over a dozen servicemen, is now wanted again, this time for check fraud, along with her husband Zacherie House, 27 . Military mistress: Bobbi Ann Finley, also known as Bobbi Ann House, hit national headlines in 2010 when allegations surfaced that she hopped from one military base to the next, marrying service members to gain access to their bank accounts . The two are now believed to be hiding out camping, with their last fraudulent transaction for a 'large quantity' of outdoors supplies and groceries at Atwoods, a farm and ranch chain store in Checotah, Oklahoma, on March 30, Oregon Live reported. Officials released photos of a car the pair are believed to be driving - a blue 2005 Cadillac Escalade - which they bought by a fraudulent $1,500 down payment at Universal Auto Sales in Salem on March 14. The car, which they took possession of March 14 and has the license plate 535BWP, has been listed as stolen. While investigators believe the two are camping, they do not know where, and have asked anyone with information to come forward. Marion County deputies said they have probable cause to arrest Finley and House for their use of fraudulent checks in Marion County. Captured: Surveillance image of Bobbi Ann Finley and Zackerie House released by Marion County Sheriff's Office. This is one of the last times the couple were seen in March . Wanted: The two were last seen making a fraudulent transaction for a 'large quantity' of outdoors supplies and groceries at Atwoods, a farm and ranch chain store in Checotah, Oklahoma, on March 30 . On-the-run: fficials released photos of a car the pair are believed to be driving - a blue 2005 Cadillac Escalade - which they bought by a fraudulent $1,500 down payment at Universal Auto Sales in Salem on March 14 . The car, which they took possession of March 14 and has the license plate 535BWP, has been listed as stolen . Bobbi Ann, previously known as Bobbi Anne Finley, has had numerous run-ins with the law. She became infamous for targeting military personnel before allegedly taking their money and leaving them in financial ruin. In a jailhouse interview in 2011, the woman admitted that she may have destroyed lives, but she claimed she is a victim who has had a hard upbringing. 'I wasn't running a con,' Finley said. 'I wanted protection, the protection that I should have had growing up... I married these guys I couldn't love.' 'I was looking for love. I was looking for understanding, I was looking for someone to say, "You know, it is going to be OK",' Finley told ABC's 20/20 at the time. 'In many of the cases, you look and you started out and you get married and you're thinking, 'Oh, I'm going to live happily ever after." And then you realise as soon it's done... it was a mistake,' she said. 'The devil himself is a pot of gold compared to her': Some of Bobbi Ann's victims described her as a smart, cunning, professional liar . For nearly 20 years, Finley allegedly preyed on military bases where she lied to servicemen claiming to be a wealthy heiress, the daughter of a general or an injured veteran about to get a large pay-out. 'She was smart, funny, witty, beautiful,' Jacob Anderson, one of Finley's ex-husbands, told ABC News. 'I mean, you'd come home... you didn't need to ask one... it was clean. 'Our food was cooked, and the food was excellent. Dishes were done, house was immaculate. You were going like, "Wow, I couldn't ask for anybody better".' But things soon changed when the men married Finley and money allegedly started disappearing from their accounts. 'The devil himself is a pot of gold compared to her,' said Shane Cheesman, one of Finley's ex-husbands whose marriage was annulled after a week. 'She has no heart. She has no feelings, no remorse,' he told ABC News. But Finley's alleged scam began to unravel in 2004 when she got on the wrong side of one of her many mother-in-laws. The victims: In 2010, ABC News assembled 10 of Bobbi Ann's former husbands, all servicemen. Ex-spouse Ben Giles described her as 'a domestic terrorist' who targeted and destroyed the lives of military members . Katie Wegg, whose son Rodney had fallen for Finley when he was a reservist stationed in Texas, began a six-year-crusade to bring her to justice after her son went away for the weekend and came home to find money gone from his checking account. She found that Finley had a history of fraud and bigamy, and had given birth to children and never told the fathers. Bobbi Ann has at least nine children, according to her family. '[Rodney] had a child out there and he wanted to know where this child was. And he wanted his child,' Mrs Wegg told ABC News. 'These guys didn't know they had children.' Finley served an eight-month sentence for forging cheques from Mr Wegg's account in 2007. Bobbi Ann House, 39, who hit headlines in 2010 for marrying at least 14 servicemen and then draining their bank accounts of thousands of dollars, is again wanted by police after getting out of prison and remarrying . She was arrested again in June 2010 and extradited to Alabama was jailed in February after pleading guilty to theft by deception and ordered to pay $5,300 in restitution. 'I mean, I'm angry. I'm sad. I'm lonely... because of what Bobbi did,' said Jeffrey Dietiker, one of Finley's ex-husbands. 'And now I'm paying for it, with every relationship I get in... Trust was everything I had, and now I don't.' | Bobbi Ann House, 39, is currently on-the-run for check fraud .

(CNN)There's an old saying which states the Cape Verde Islands are home to a greater number of musicians per square kilometer than any other country in the world. In truth, such a definitive claim may be nigh on impossible to prove. But there is a certain factual accuracy behind the legend: the important and proud relationship the Atlantic island country of just 500,000 people has with music. Situated roughly 350 miles off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde has long been a mesh of cultures, history and races. The former Portuguese territory was once a key location for the transatlantic slave trade, a target for 16th century pirates and a refuge for exiled Jews. From this diverse melting pot were born the unique sounds of the batuque, morna, funana and other distinct musical styles. Now, Cape Verde is seeking to tap-into the spoils of this rich cultural heritage in a bid to help its economy flourish. Bereft of oil, gas, gold, diamonds or the conventional natural resources that have fueled growth in many other African countries, Cape Verde has had to look for alternative sectors to aid its development. And what's more alternative than a jiving, swinging, musical economy? "Besides fish, it is pretty common (for Cape Verde) to say 'our biggest richness is in music and culture,'" said Christine Semba of Womex, an international networking platform for the world music genre. The economic potential of music has been also acknowledged by Cape Verde's prime minister, Jose Maria Neves, while the country's ministry of culture is run by Mario Lucio de Sousa, himself a popular musician. "The future of our country lies in our capacity to create, our capacity to innovate," Neves said in reference to the music and the arts at a World Trade Organization conference in 2013. Other elements of the creative economy include handicrafts, fashion and visual arts to name but a few. However, a 2013 report from the UN Conference on Trade and Development noted that Cape Verde's creative sector remained a relatively small part of its economy with much room for improvement and long term planning. But that doesn't mean there hasn't been some promising early signs that music has the potential to play a key role in the future. One early musical success has been the Kriol Jazz Festival. The event, which is celebrating its seventh edition, took place in the capital city of Praia this past weekend. Artists including Grammy-winning U.S. singer Esperanza Spalding have been invited to perform, as have acts from the likes of Luxembourg, Brazil and, of course, Cape Verde. According to Harold Taveres, a liaison to the mayor of Praia involved with promoting the festival, "KJF has become one of the most spectacular events in Cape Verde. "We breathe the music in Cape Verde, we live with the music," he added. "Now the festival has brought people from every corner in the world (to share in this)." During the festival, bars, hotels and restaurants are full to the brim while taxi drivers are seldom unable to find a fare during what locals refer to as "the week of party." It's a lucrative trade, for sure. Yet in order to take full advantage of this bustling scene the country's ministry of culture, alongside some enterprising private sector figures, thought a deeper relationship with the music business was required. Enter the Atlantic Music Expo, a three-year-old conference and networking event that seeks to help Cape Verdean artists secure international exposure. This year's AME took place in the days before the Kriol Jazz Festival. Delegates, local musicians and their management teams were exposed to roundtables, workshops and talks on the intricacies of the global music business. "We try to invite lots of producers and a lot of journalists from around the world to see the festival and the musicians from Cape Verde," said Jose Da Silva, long time manager of the late Cape Verdean songstress Cesaria Evora. Da Silva is one of the driving forces behind AME as well as being the founder of the Lusafrica and Harmonia record labels that aim to discover a new generation of artists from Cape Verde. He hopes that by exposing musicians to a range of experienced industry professionals and top-level musicians, they will become equipped with the tools and ambition to take the music of Cape Verde across the globe. Not only will this help launch the careers of artists and musicians (with all the respective behind the scenes business structures such developments require) but it will garner valuable attention for the country. This is where the greatest potential economic benefits lie. Tourism is expected to account for 20% of the country's GDP by 2024, according to research from the World Travel and Tourism Council. Getting Cape Verde's name out on the world stage through recognition of its rich musical culture is therefore increasingly important. "Economically it's beneficial for the country because the money we would have to spend on the market to give the country this exposure in the world would be too big," Da Silva said. "This way it costs less money." Semba agrees with this, and highlights the joined up thinking of the government and private sector actors like Da Silva for special praise. "In the long term, the whole country is behind this event," Semba said, adding "this is a very innovative approach which we would like to see in many more countries." It must be noted, however, that few countries have the same natural resources for music as Cape Verde. More from Marketplace Africa . | Cape Verde seeking to tap-into rich cultural heritage .

A 10-year-old boy who beat a younger child to death in Canada went to his friends claiming that he had witnessed a 'big guy' strike the victim with a rock. Lee Allan Bonneau, 6, died from blunt force trauma to the head in August 2013 following a savage attack on a reservation in Saskatchewan. A 10-year-old boy, identified in court documents as L.T., reportedly admitted to killing Lee Bonneau and crushing his head after initially blaming a stranger for the slaying. Slain: Lee Allan Bonneau was 6 years old when in August 2013 he was attacked by a 10-year-old boy and beaten to death with a rock and a stick . Brief life: Lee was pronounced dead from severe head injuries four hours after he went missing in Saskatchewan, Canada, while in the care of his foster mother . Tribute: A collage created by Lee's biological family celebrating his short, troubled life . On Thursday, a coroner's jury in Regina heard how the underage suspect ran to his friends after the attack on Bonneau telling them he had witnessed a murder, reported National Post. The troubled 10-year-old was described as appearing scared but also excited, telling his friends how a 'big guy' had struck Lee with a stick three times, pushed him down an embankment and then bashed him with a rock. L.T. then changed his story, according to Thursday's hearing, saying the he was the one who killed the 6-year-old. He then pleaded with his pals, 'Don't tell on me,' because he was afraid of being jailed. During an interview with investigators a day after Lee Bonneau's slaying August 21, 2013, L.T. reverted back to his original version of events, telling Royal Canadian Mounted Police that a 'big person' committed the crime. The 10-year-old named the purported killer and told law enforcement officials that he even walked up to the man and asked him what he was doing. 'I'm just killing a little boy,' L.T. quoted the man as saying. Police later questioned the person identified by L.T. and cleared him of any wrongdoing. On the evening of August 21, 2013, Lee Bonneau accompanied his foster mother, Mary Ramstead, to a bingo game at the Kahkewistahaw First Nation hall. At around 8pm, Lee stepped outside the bingo venue to buy snacks and never returned. He was last seen playing with some dogs and walking in the company of an older boy, later identified as 10-year-old L.T. More than two hours after his disappearance, Lee was found critically injured in a remote field more than half a mile from the bingo hall. A coroner's inquest has heard how a 10-year-old boy named L.T. attacked the younger child, pictured here as an infant on the evening of August 21, 2013 on a reservation . Family troubles: Lee was removed from the home of his biological mother, Stacey Merk (pictured) just two and a half months before his murder . Lee is pictured here with his birth father, Dave Bonneau. Child servers reportedly refused to release the 6-year-old into his parent's care . The 6-year-old was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead from his injuries at around midnight. Forensic pathologist Dr Shaun Ladhman determined that Lee died from blunt force trauma to the left side of the head after suffering multiple skull fractures. In his testimony at the coroner's inquest Thursday, Ladhman compared the boy's injuries to those seen in high-speed car collisions or a three-story fall. Bonneau also had bite marks on his body. Because of his young age, 10-year-old L.T. has not been charged with Lee Bonneau's murder. Global News reported that Saskatchewan’s children’s advocate determined the underage killer had severe behavioral issues and likely required constant supervision. RCMP Cpl. Donna Zawislak testified court that when officers came to the child's house and said that Lee Bonneau has died, the 10-year-old did not react. The following day, L.T. sat down for a forensic interview, saying he had been a witness to the killing, not the perpetrator. When asked about the blood stains on his clothes and shoes, the 10-year-old blamed it on a nosebleed. The child had a history of troubling behavior, including a break-in where he killed a pregnant dog and her puppies, which had been cut out of the animal's body. Lee had been removed from the home of his biological mother, Stacey Merk, just two and a half months before his death citing concerns related to his verbal skills and behavioral problems. Violent end: A pathologist testified that 6-year-old Lee suffered injuries often observed in high-speed car collisions. He had multiple skull fractures and bite marks on his body . Lies: The troubled 10-year-old was described as appearing scared but also, telling his friends after the killing how a 'big guy' had struck Lee . Unpunished: L.T. will not face any charges in connection to Lee Bonneau's death because of his young age . During the coroner’s inquest, Ms Merk testified that a social worker became alarmed when she confided in her that she has been struggling with depression and had suicidal thoughts. On August 1, child services placed Lee with Mary Ramstead's family on a temporary basis. Three weeks later, the 6-year-old was murdered while in the care of his foster mother. L.T. will not face any charges in connection to Lee Bonneau's death because of his young age. The goal of the coroner's inquest is to determine the circumstances of the murder and make recommendations to prevent similar tragedies going forward. | Lee Allan Bonneau, 6, was attacked by a 10-year-old boy and beaten to death with a rock and a stick in August 2013 in Saskatchewan, Canada .

New Jersey police have released a sketch of an infant whose headless remains were discovered last year in an attempt to track down the child's mother. On Nov. 11, 2014, the headless body of a seven-pound-five-ounce infant was found in a trash heap in Farmingdale, New Jersey. Now, more than five months later, authorities have released the sketch along with photos of evidence as they continue to investigate the child's death. The baby, who was named 'Emma Grace' by a local church, was discovered by a ReCommunity Recycling facility employee, police said in a news release. Scroll down for video . Emma Grace: New Jersey police have released a sketch of an infant (photographed), known as 'Emma Grace,' whose headless remains were discovered last year in an attempt to track down the child's mother . Evidence: Investigators located the infant's head along with two blood-soaked blouses (left and right) and a bag more than 50 miles away in Orange township . Investigators located the infant's head along with two blood-soaked blouses and a bag more than 50 miles away in Orange township. Authorities released the sketch of Emma and the photos Friday enlisting the help of the public to locate the infant's mother. 'Detectives hope someone may recognize the baby based on the composite sketch or provide assistance to find the mother based on the items of clothing,' police said. The release states that no current evidence indicates that the mother was a 'victim of foul play,' but authorities have not ruled out the possibility. A medical examiner has determined that Emma was not stillborn, but the cause of the child's death is still unknown. Funeral: The baby's remains have been released to the Ardena Baptist Church in Freehold, which will hold a funeral for the infant Saturday . Name: The Ardena Baptist Church, who will hold a funeral for the child, gave her the name 'Emma Grace' Investigators say that if the mother is responsible for placing the remains in the trash heap, she may have been trying to hide her pregnancy prior to giving birth. 'She might have been living a different lifestyle than she was accustomed to, and since the birth she may have resumed some of her more normal routines,' police said. Based on hair characteristics, police said, the infant is of mixed race and may be of Hispanic origin. The investigation is ongoing and Monmouth County Crime Stoppers is offering up to $5,000 for information leading to the identity of the infant's mother. The baby's remains have been released to the Ardena Baptist Church in Freehold, which will hold a funeral for the infant Saturday. | New Jersey police have released a sketch of an infant whose headless body was discovered last year in an attempt to find the child's mother .

Furious Blackpool supporters pelted the directors' box and main reception area at Bloomfield Road with a flare, a smoke bomb, fireworks and eggs before their game with Reading. The bottom-of-the-table Seasiders' relegation to League One was sealed by Rotherham's victory over Brighton on Monday, a result that condemned them to the third tier with six games of their season still to spare, and supporters vented their frustration prior to Tuesday's game. Chairman Karl Oyston was the target of their criticism as supporters congregated in front of the West Stand at 7pm to demonstrate against their owner before the directors' box windows were targeted with eggs. VIDEO Scroll down to watch a flare being thrown at Blackpool's club reception . Blackpool fans gathered outside Bloomfield Road to protest against the Oyston family .

The Blackpool Gazette were scathing in their assessment of the club's relegation to the third tier . A fan walks out of a Fish and Chips shop, next to a shop selling t-shirts and banners supporting protests . Disgruntled fans chanted 'Oyston out' and 'we're relegated because of your greed' before a flare, a smoke bomb and fireworks were thrown into the cordoned-off area in front of the main entrance. Stewards and police were present but the protests did not spill over into violence. Blackpool went on to earn a point after a 1-1 draw but manager Lee Clark admitted the club face a challenge to win back their stay-away fans. Some of those fans did not even enter the ground and missed a contest short on incident, with Grant Hall's own goal 20 seconds after the restart earning the Royals a point following Jamie O'Hara's opening goal for the hosts from the penalty spot. Clark acknowledged that a 'horrendous season' had contributed to the swathes of empty seats at recent home matches but is hopeful of winning back those disillusioned fans by rebuilding his squad over the summer. 'We're down a level and that's going to be hard,' he said of getting fans back through the turnstiles at Bloomfield Road. 'We've obviously had a horrendous season to put up with, but if we do it right with our recruitment process over the summer, we do things in the right way and get the right type of players in - then they can come and watch us over the pre-season and see a new group of players that they can get excited about that we can get them back on to the seats. 'The only way we can do that is by getting a group together that's going to give us a fighting chance to get back up and we hit the ground running at the start of the season.'

Dishevelled commuters across New South Wales' coastline are mourning the loss of their umbrellas on social media this morning as gale force winds destroy even the sturdiest of frames. With winds of up to 135km/h battering the east coast, many have learned the hard way that their trusty shelters can’t withstand cyclone strength conditions. Workers have begun posting photos of their broken umbrellas scattered in gutters and discarded in bins along with the hashtag #umbrellageddon on social media. Scroll down for video . Commuters are struggling with their umbrellas in the fierce winds which have reached up to 135km/h in some parts of NSW . A man battles to keep control of his umbrella against strong winds in Sydney on Tuesday . 'The umbrella graveyard. #sydney #takemehome,' Brendan Duong posted on Instagram after spotting two colourful brollies poking out the top of a Sydney bin . 'Weather 47 - 0 umbrellas. #umbrellageddon,' Sam Moore wrote on Twitter as she posted these photos of brollies in Sydney's Darling Harbour . ‘The umbrella graveyard. #sydney #takemehome,’ Brendan Duong posted on Instagram after spotting two colourful brollies poking out the top of a Sydney bin. Haley Sewell’s umbrella barely fitted in a bin alongside all the other trashed brollies. ‘This is #sydney. The #umbrella #cemetery. Mine #died 2mins after leaving the #house,’ Ms Sewell captioned the photo on Instagram. In Martin Place in Sydney’s CBD, Uriel Blob posted a rainy photo of two broken and twisted brollies pointing out ‘the struggle’ facing commuters. Some umbrellas were stripped down to their ‘bare bones’ and one social media joked ‘it’s #bin pretty #windy [sic]’. Pricier umbrellas sometimes come with guarantees against their frames but if damage is caused by the wind manufacturers say that does not constitute a faulty frame. Robert Sharpe, the Associate Director of umbrella company Clifton Australia, told Daily Mail Australia that 'an umbrella with more ribs and that is windproof has a better chance of survival' in this weather. However, he said their company had never 'done any major wind testing' on their umbrellas. Mr Sharpe advised: 'Always carry your umbrella into the wind and not over your head. Buy a strong large size umbrella so it offers you more protection.' A broken umbrella is abandoned in Sydney's CBD on April 21, as a second day of damaging winds and heavy rain hit the New South Wales coast . 'This is #sydney. The #umbrella #cemetery.

UEFA's general secretary Gianni Infantino has warned that there will be no choice but to suspend Greece from international football unless the country's government rescinds proposed new laws. The Greek government has put forward a bill which could see sporting events cancelled due to incidents of crowd violence and teams prohibited from playing in European competition. UEFA and FIFA say that is direct government interference in football and have threatened to suspend Greece. Panathinakos' game against Olympiakos in February was marred by crowd trouble in Athens . Greek government have proposed new laws banning teams from European competitions, but UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino says they are not allowed to directly interfere with football . Infantino said: 'Sadly there will be no other choice than to suspend the Greek Football Federation if this new legislation is passed because football does not allow government interference. 'There are currently three other countries, outside of Europe, which are currently facing similar issues - Indonesia, Pakistan and Zimbabwe. I think people in Greece should be very concerned because a suspension will have a serious impact on their football. 'Don't forget that it will affect more than the national team. If your clubs don't play in our competitions, their coefficient will also drop, meaning that less teams can qualify for the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.' UEFA and FIFA sent a final letter of warning on Wednesday but the Greek government is refusing to back down. Greece's deputy sports minister Stavros Kontonis told Greek television on Wednesday night: 'We are not going to change the philosophy of the sports bill. The supervision exercised in Greek football by FIFA and UEFA has failed.' Greek police try to stop Panathinaikos fans who invaded the pitch during a Greek Super League match . | The Greek government has proposed a new law which could see sporting events cancelled due to incidents of crowd violence in the country .

The former sister-in-law of a man who has been charged with the murder of his second wife and is being investigated over the mysterious death of his first wife has said that she feared she might have been next. Henthorn was charged with the murder of second wife, Toni Bertolet, 51, last November and police have reopened their investigation into the suspicious death of his first wife, Lynn Rishell, some 20 years earlier. In both cases Henthorn was named as the sole beneficiary in a string of lucrative life insurance policies totaling $500,000 on the death of his first wife and $4.5million on the death of his second. And Lynn Rishell's brother's wife, Grace Rishell, has opened up to say that the FBI told her about a secret $400,000 life insurance policy Henthorn had taken out on her, too. Scroll down for video . Grace Rishell was Herald Henthorn's first wife Lynn Rishell's sister-in-law. She said that the FBI told her about a secret $400,000 life insurance policy Henthorn had taken out on her . Henthorn (left), pictured with Grace (center) and Lynn (right) Rishell, was named as the sole beneficiary in a string of lucrative life insurance policies totaling $500,000 on the death of his first wife and $4.5million on the death of his second after they both died in what appeared to be freak accident . He had forged her signature and made himself the sole beneficiary on the policy, Rishell told CBS's 48 Hours. 'That was his doing. I did not authorize that policy,' she said. 'He profits, not my girls. I feel he came in and just preyed on my vulnerability.' Both of Henthron's wives died in 'freak' accidents to which Henthorn, 59, was the sole witness. Dr Toni Jill Bertolet plunged 140ft to her death shortly before her 12th wedding anniversary while hiking with Henthorn in a remote stretch of Rocky Mountain National Park. Lynn Rishell - his first wife - was crushed to death under the front of Henthorn's Jeep when, he told first responders, the jack gave way as she reached under the vehicle for a lug night while changing a flat tire in the dark. 'I think it's logical to conclude that he was planning on taking my life at some point,' Grace Rishell said. 'He's a dangerous man... He needs to be behind bars.' Grace Rishell was going through a divorce and ‘concerned for her financial stability,’ when she initially agreed to Henthorn taking out a policy that would pay $50,000 to Grace’s brother and each of her four daughters for a total of $250,000. Lynn Rishell - Henthorn's first wife - was crushed to death under the front of Henthorn's Jeep when, he told first responders, the jack gave way as she reached under the vehicle for a lug night while changing a flat tire in the dark . Henthorn's second wife, Toni Jill Bertolet, plunged 140ft to her death shortly before her 12th wedding anniversary while hiking with Henthorn in a remote stretch of Rocky Mountain National Park . According to prosecutors in Bertolet’s murder case, ‘the evidence will show that Henthorn had a romantic interest in Rishell’. But Rishell had a change of heart in spring 2010 and told the insurance agent to stop the policy from going through. Instead she took out a policy of her own with another insurer. Unbeknownst to her ‘her signature was forged to procure the original policy as well,’ with Henthorn making payments on the policy until December 2012 and listing himself as sole beneficiary. The policy was cancelled in 2013 when the insurer concluded that Henthorn had no insurable interest in Rishell. But the very fact of its existence raises the specter that Henthorn had Rishell in his sights as a third potential victim. Henthorn was arrested on November 6 when FBI apprehended him as he returned home after dropping his nine-year-old daughter, Hayley, at school. His indictment was the result of a prolonged investigation during which the FBI eavesdropped on his telephone conversations, combed through his finances, scrutinized his employment history and concluded that the ‘freak’ hiking accident that claimed the mother-of-one’s life was murder. Henthorn was charged with the murder of Bertolet, 51, last November and police have reopened their investigation into the suspicious death of his first wife, Lynn Rishell, some 20 years earlier . Henthorn and Lynn Rishell when he was a new geology graduate from Virginia. The couple moved to Colorado, where after 12 years of marriage, she died in a 'freak accident', now said to be murder . He was denied bail by US District Judge Kathleen Latoyfa who described him as a ‘danger’ and said, ‘there are rather glaring similarities between the loss of his first wife and the loss of his second’ and pointed to large sums of money recently transferred by Henthorn to his brother as suggestive that he was ‘hiding funds.’ Though Henthorn claimed to work as a fundraiser for a charity the economic crime auditor for the US Attorney found no evidence that the geology graduate from Virginia had any earnings other than some in 1993, 1999 and 2000. The only job he appears to have had was one briefly held in the petroleum industry – the job that saw him and his then new bride, Lynn Rishell, move from their hometown of Harrington, Virginia, across the country to Colorado. The prosecution’s case against Henthorn highlights the similarities between both his wives’ passing – not least the substantial windfall both saw him set to receive. Both ‘freak accidents’ occurred at remote locations with Henthorn the lone witness. Both occurred after about 12 years of marriage and Henthorn told wildly varying stories about both deaths. Both ‘freak accidents’ occurred at remote locations with Henthorn the lone witness. Both occurred after about 12 years of marriage and Henthorn, pictured here with his first wife, Rishell, told wildly varying stories about both deaths. An autopsy carried out on Bertolet concluded that she ‘died as a result of multiple blunt force injuries when she fell or was pushed down a cliff’ According to prosecution documents Henthorn even told a Sunday school class that his first wife died of cancer and that she lost a baby she was carrying to chemotherapy. In the case of his second wife, two years before her death Bertolet almost died when she was struck by a wooden beam Henthorn had thrown off the deck of their cottage. After that incident Henthorn joked to friends, ‘I was trying to kill my wife.’ Investigators have also established that Henthorn ‘extensively scouted’ the fatal hike trail. Contrary to what he told law enforcement he made nine different trips to the area around Rocky Mountain Park that summer. The fortnight before their anniversary – the date of her death – Henthorn had hiked six trails to ‘find the perfect one for the trip.’ And damningly a map found in his car showed the spot where Bertolet fell to her death, marked with a pink X. In both Rishell and Bertolet’s deaths Henthorn was eager to have his wives’ bodies cremated quickly despite family requests against it and, disturbingly, he spread both women’s ashes on the same mountain near Ouray, Colorado. A hearing for the civil case is scheduled for later this month while a trial date of May 4 -15 has been set for the murder case of Bertolet to which Henthorn has entered a not guilty plea. | In November Harold Henthorn was charged with murdering his second wife in criminal trial which will also hear that he killed his first wife .
Both died in freak 'accidents' to which he was sole witness and FBI spent months investigating second death before he was charged .
In both cases, Henthorn was the sole beneficiary in a string of lucrative life insurance policies .

Gone are the days of the waif model and 'heroin chic': a new, fitter, stronger generation of women will be walking down the runway at this year's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia. We Are Handsome will debut their first Active Swim range on Tuesday night in Sydney and break all the rules by featuring real-life fitness and social media stars, rather than professional models. The models will include Sjana Earp, Kate Kendall, Amanda Bisk, Juliet Burnett, and Lindy Klim. Scroll down for video . Bringing sexy back: Australian designers We Are Handsome are among the fashion houses rejecting traditional skinnier models in favour of strong, fit girls . Earp, 20, is a social media sensation famous for sharing her yoga poses with her 679,000 Instagram followers, Bisk is a former Commonwealth Games pole vaulter, sprinter and yogi, Kendall is a qualified yoga instructor and Burnett is a professional Australian Ballet dancer. We Are Handsome design duo Jeremy and Katinka Somers, are known for pushing boundaries but believe there will be only positive reaction to their unusual model choice. 'There’s a big thing about "who should be on the runway" so we know we’re breaking rules by having girls that have never been on a catwalk before (and who are nervous about it),' Katinka told Daily Mail Australia. Strong beats skinny: We Are Handsome will debut fit, real girls (including Instagram sensation Sjana Earp, pictured) at launch of their Active Swim range on Tuesday night in Sydney . Bolt like Bisk: Amanda Bisk, who is the ultimate fit trifecta, (yogi, pole vaulter and sprinter), will also walk the runway show today . Beach to backstage: Bisk achieves her slim frame through healthy exercise . 'But the rules are there to be broken, times have changed and girls who are active are the new shape. Strong really is the new sexy.' Casting healthy girls is crucial to the designers who believe largely represent their brand and promote the active philosophy they value. 'We will not cast skinny models or skeletal frames, we look for real, active and healthy women - and not just with the fit girls but for our catwalk models too,' says Katinka. Waif goes wayward: Australian designers ditch skeletal frames, following France's law to ban skinny models . En pointe: Ballet dancer Juliet Burnett will feature as one of the fit girls in the We Are Handsome show . Jeremy admits personality comes into it too. 'We're authentic, fun and outgoing so it's about making people feel good and having girls that purvey that.' 'A lot of the girls (fitness models) are very big on Instagram and encourage people to follow in their active foot steps, so we have chosen experienced yogis, a ballerina, a sprinter and pole vaulter and people who embody healthy eating too,' says Jeremy. On how the industry will take their bold choice, the We Are Handsome couple aren't worried. Klim-spiration: Lindy Klim, pictured wearing a We Are Handsome swimsuit, will also walk the runway . 'We have friends who are competitors, but we don’t design for other designers, we design for ourselves and the We Are Handsome woman,' says Jeremy. 'We're also not shunning skinny women,' adds Katinka. 'There are lots of women out there that no matter what they eat, won’t be a robust shape. We're just aiming for a different shape of women to other designers.' This industry first in Australia comes only days after France passed legislation banning excessively thin models from participating in Paris Fashion Week. Aspirational athlete: Kate Kendall, co-owner of gym Flow Athletic will host a yoga class and walk the runway . Agents and fashion houses who hire the models could face fines under the new law, which was passed on April 3. 'We're also not shunning skinny women,' adds Katinka. 'There are lots of women out there that no matter what they eat, won’t be a robust shape. We're just aiming for a different shape of women to other designers.' This industry first in Australia comes only days after France passed legislation banning excessively thin models from participating in Paris Fashion Week. Social media star: Sjana Earp, fitness blogger and avid yogi will star in the We Are Handsome show . This self-regulated approach has also been taken by new Australian brand Robb & Lulu who cast healthy, Instagram sensation Renee Somerfield for their debut collection. 'After the collection went live online yesterday we had great consumer and industry feedback,' says Sian Vandermuelen who represents the label. 'They loved that we were using a woman that wasn't a typical sample size and who is comfortable in her own skin.' Crave comfort: Robb & Lulu have found women like seeing models who are comfortable in their own skin . Leading the way in size range too, Robb & Lulu have chosen to make resort wear that goes from size 0 up to 26 and swimwear that includes bigger cup sizes too, with cups sizes going up to a double F. 'Lulu found there was a gap in market and she needed to design for women that are bigger and bustier and people that were able to feel empowered and comfortable in a bigger bikini or kaftan.' And the proof is in the demand, with British Vogue already catching wind of the label's range and requesting stock from them based on their fits and ability to suit all bodies and sizes. Australian designer Manning Cartell have also taken a stance, with all 39 women on their runway being size 8-10 models this season. Bikini babe: Social media star Renee Somerfield was chosen to launch Robb & Lulu's first collection . Push for plus: Australian label Robb and Lulu have had great response to 0-26 size range and FF cup sizes . 'We always try and select healthy strong girls so it’s always been a focus for us,' says Gabrielle Manning, as reported in The Daily Telegraph. Additionally Bondi Bather has refused 'too-skinny models' during castings with designer Kerry Cusack reporting back to modelling agencies that she is after healthy, Aussie girls and believes its a responsibility designers need to guard to stop young girls body image issues. As for We Are Handsome, alongside the fit models, a yoga class held by Kate Kendall (yoga teacher and one of the models walking) will commence prior to the runway show to energise the models and instil the healthy message of the brand before the show. | Designers We Are Handsome, Manning Cartell and Bondi Bather turn away from using skinny models .

They're two of the UKs best loved celebrities so it's little wonder than David Beckham and Holly Willoughby have been voted the stars we'd most like to have as our parents. In a new survey by Ripley's Believe It or Not! David, the former England Captain, OBE and Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF has been voted to be the number one celebrity figure Brits would love to have as a dad. Whilst This Morning host and Celebrity Juice panellist, Holly, 34, has all the qualities of the perfect mother figure. Unfortunately for Katie Hopkins, she came bottom of the list. A new survey by Ripley's Believe It Or Not has shown who we would most like to be in our dream celebrity family. David Beckham was voted number one choice for Dad . Perhaps surprisingly, second choice mum and dad turned out to be Sharon and Ozzy Osborne according to the study. The study also found the perfect family would have two sisters and two brothers making it a large family. And the celebrities most Brits would like to have as their siblings are Adele and the Barbadian beauty, Rhianna. Both well known for their singing abilities and their popular music they've both been found to be the best people to have as sisters. Holly Willoughby was voted the person that we would most like to have as our mother . Acerbic TV personality Katie Hopkins was voted as the person we would least like to have as our celebrity mother . As for brothers, 'A Team' and 'Sing' singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran has been picked for the top spots. White House Down and Jump Street star Channing Tatum is also a personality Brits wants to have as their brother. Ed Sheeran and Channing Tatum have been voted as the men we would most like to have as our brothers . Rhianna was voted as one of the top choices for celebrity sister . The singer Adele was also voted as one of our favourites to be a celebrity sibling . A new survey, which was conducted by Ripley's Believe It or Not! has revealed the celebrities we would most like to have as our family members. Here are the results... Celebrity Dad: . 1. David Beckham . 2. Ozzy Osbourne . 3. Jonathan Ross . Celebrity Mum: . 1. Holly Willoughby . 2. Sharon Osbourne . 3. Nicole Kidman . Celebrity Brother: . 1. Ed Sheeran . 2. Channing Tatum . 3. Seth Rogan . Celebrity Sister: . 1. Adele . 2. Rhianna . 3. Paloma Faith . Celebrity Aunt: . 1. Helena Bonham Carter . 2. Jennifer Saunders . 3. Davina McCall . Celebrity Uncle: . 1. David Walliams . 2. Elton John . 3. Bear Grylls . But the perfect family extends further than the immediate members of mum dad and siblings, it also includes aunty, uncle and even grandmother. English Actress Helena Bonham Carter has been named as the perfect celebrity aunt with her unconventional and eccentric sense of fashion and string of films under her belt. And as for the uncle, that role has been given to Britain's Got Talent judge and Little Britain star, David Walliams – an interesting character to have round for Christmas dinner. Other celebs considered to be great for the role of aunty and uncle were said to be Jennifer Saunders and Elton John. The survey also revealed what talents produce the family members and despite Becks being the best dad, TV presenters are the best for parent figures. Pop stars are the best sister figures while movie actors have the ideal qualities to be brothers and Grandparents are also made up of people with successful film careers behind them. Although results show most people would love an A-List family, most people did state that the most important value to find in a parental figure was trust and kindness over being rich and good-looking. Natascha Crump, General Manager for Ripley's Believe it or Not! London which commissioned the study, said: 'As a popular family visitor attraction, it's interesting to see who people think would make up the perfect family. 'David Beckham has a lot of qualities that lead him to being a great role model for children, so it's not surprising Brits see him as the perfect father figure. 'We love quirky and unusual characters it was great to see Ozzy Osborne on the list and I'm sure he'd be interesting person to have around the house! 'Holly Willoughby is also a good choice for a mum, she's got a caring personality and three children of her own. 'But we can also see why Sharon Osborne has the potential to be a fun mum to have around with her larger than life personality.' Helena Bonham Carter was choosen as the top choice as our celebrity aunt whilst David Walliams was voted the person we'd most like to have as our uncle . | A new survey has revealed who Britons would like as their celebrity family .

(CNN)A large storm system dubbed Typhoon Maysak is churning over the Pacific Ocean, days away from a possible direct hit on the Philippines. Maysak is moving west-northwest after skirting the Federated States of Micronesia, according to the U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Its eye is projected to make landfall in the central or northern part of the Philippine island of Luzon on Sunday, though the country's residents could start feeling its effects days before. That could interrupt the Easter celebration for many in the predominantly Catholic nation, which may be socked by heavy rains and potent winds. The International Red Cross noted that "many people are expected to throng coastal areas at this time." Images of the typhoon as seen from the International Space Station were posted to Twitter, including a Vine video showing the swirling eye of the storm. The storm has weakened and is expected to lose more strength before it reaches the Philippines. Its maximum sustained winds on Wednesday were 150 mph, making it a super typhoon in the Joint Typhoon Warning Center's definition. But by Thursday, the winds' strength had declined to around 132 mph -- no longer a super typhoon but still the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane. Meteorologist Ivan Cabrera told CNN that Maysak could weaken further to become a tropical storm by the time it reaches the Philippine coast. "This will not be a catastrophic storm," Cabrera said. That said, it could still cause flooding and bring strong winds, he cautioned. The Philippines is frequently hit by typhoons. In December, for instance, Hagupit killed at least 18 people in the East Asian nation and injured hundreds more. But that devastation paled in comparison to the havoc wrought by Super Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013, which killed more than 6,000 people and injured more than 27,000 others. That typhoon, considered to be among the strongest storms ever to make landfall, hit the eastern city of Tacloban especially hard. The irony of the upcoming storm is its timing: in April, just after the Philippines Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration officially declared the onset of the nation's dry, or summer, season. PAGASA meteorologist Shelley Ignacio predicts Maysak -- which is called Chedeng in the Philippines -- will bring heavy rains to Luzon starting on Friday, according to the state-run Philippines News Agency. The country's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council went on red alert on Wednesday because of the storm, the news agency reports. That alert means all relevant personnel are on standby and the public should be on guard for possible effects of the storm. CNN's Jethro Mullen contributed to this report. | Maysak has sustained winds of more than 130 mph but is expected to weaken .

Cadbury has snatched two chocolate Fingers from its famous packs – reducing the number to 22. The move is the latest evidence of how the nation’s favourite brands and supermarkets are cutting back on pack sizes without a corresponding cut in prices. The ploy means shoppers are being subject to stealth price rises in what economists have dubbed ‘shrinkflation’. Going down: Cadbury has snatched two chocolate Fingers from its famous packs – reducing the number to 22 . Now 114 grams: Cadbury chocolate Fingers have come down by 11g - the equivalent of two chocolate Fingers . In most cases, the price remains the same when the amount in the pack is cut, however in some rare examples the change comes with a price rise. Packs of Cadbury chocolate Fingers have come down by 11 grams – the equivalent of two chocolate Fingers – to a weight of 114g. While the popular biscuits carry the Cadbury brand, they are actually made under licence by another manufacturer, Burton’s Biscuit Company, which is responsible for the changes. Burton’s said it did reduce the wholesale price of the packs to supermarkets to reflect the lower weight, but it had no say over whether this was passed this on to customers. The price at Sainsbury’s has risen from £1 to £1.50 over the past year, however it has come down from £1 to 80p at Tesco, according to figures from the MySupermarket website. Last month, the Daily Mail revealed how the makers of PG Tips have reduced the amount of tea in its teabags – cutting the weight of a box of 80 by the equivalent of six teabags . From the archive: Boxes of Cadbury FIngers weighed 150g when this photograph was taken in March 2002 . Makers: The popular biscuits are made under licence by another manufacturer, Burton’s Biscuit Company, which is responsible for the changes. Its head office is pictured (above) in St Albans, Hertfordshire . We also detailed how the Kit Kat Chunky is less chunky than it used to be after it was reduced in weight from 48g to 40g. When challenged, the manufacturer, Nestle, claimed this was partly because of rising costs and partly because of its desire to help customers lose weight as its contribution to the Government’s anti-obesity campaign. In the news: The makers of PG Tips have reduced the amount of tea in its teabags – cutting the weight of a box of 80 by the equivalent of six teabags . Tesco reduced the size of cartons of pasta sauce, such as Tomato & Mascarpone, from 375g to 350g yet the price remained the same and it was still promoted as serving two people. John West cut the size of its tins of No Drain Tuna Steak from 130g to 120g, but again there has been no corresponding fall in the price. Cadbury has something of a track record for shrinking packs in a move that protects its profits. It famously cut back on the number of crème eggs in its multi-packs ahead of Easter from five to six. Before Christmas, Burton’s reduced its £5 Cadbury Collection biscuits from 380g to 335g. In 2011, Cadbury reduced the size of the 140g bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk to 120g, so losing the equivalent of two chunks. It then cut the size of its traditional circular Roses tins from 975g to 850g – effectively snatching away 11 of the chocolate favourites. The firm was taken over by Kraft of the US in 2010 in a deal worth £11.5billion, which has come under fire for a series of cost cutting measures that have undermined the historic British brand. The firm’s American bosses have never been forgiven for reneging on a promise to keep open a Cadbury factory at Keynsham, near Bristol, when it took over the company. They have also come under fire for shifting large parts of their chocolate production to cheaper facilities in Poland. No corresponding fall in the price: John West cut the size of its tins of No Drain Tuna Steak from 130g to 120g . Which? recently highlighted a number of big brands that have been shrunk, such loaves of Hovis ‘Best of Both’ bread are down from 800g to 750g; Birds Eye Select Mixed Vegetables down from 750g to 690g; Aunt Bessie’s Homestyle Chip are 50g lighter at 700g; and Philadelphia Light Soft Cheese is down 20g to 180g. The executive director at Which?, Richard Lloyd, said: ‘Shrinking products can be a sneaky way of putting up costs for consumers because pack sizes shrink but the prices don’t. ‘It’s now time for action on dodgy pricing practices that stops people from easily comparing products to find the cheapest.’ The Food and Drink Federation said: ‘Food and drink pricing always reflects the economic climate of the day, whether that’s the impact of changing utility prices or ingredient costs which can be volatile. ‘Businesses seek to offset these costs wherever possible through improvements in efficiency and productivity, but these actions can only go so far and in some cases companies will reduce the pack size rather than increasing the price for consumers.’ Burton’s confirmed the reduction in the pack size and insisted the chocolate fingers remain good value. | Packs of Cadbury Fingers have come down by 11 grams to weight of 114g .

Lionel Messi has recovered from his injured foot and should be fit to start Sunday's La Liga match with Celta Vigo. The Argentina forward sat out both of his country's friendlies against El Salvador and Ecuador over the international break but, after arriving back in Barcelona on Thursday, was able to do some light running and stretching in training. Messi is ahead of schedule in his recovery and a statement on the club's website read: 'The inflammation of Messi's foot has improved and the player will attempt to join the rest of the internationals tomorrow.' Lionel Messi waves to fans during a light training session at Barcelona on Thursday . Messi had a light training session alongside compatriot Javier Mascherano as he recovers from foot injury .

The 27-year-old, who is the La Liga top goalscorer with 32 goals, sustained the blow to his right foot in last month's 'Clasico' win over Real Madrid. He trained alongside his compatriot Javier Mascherano on Thursday and both are expected to rejoin the rest of the squad in a more intense session on Friday.

Coach Luis Enrique will be making his first return to the Balaidos Stadium where he guided Celta to a respectable ninth-place finish last season.

A wallaby has been caught on camera delivering a swift jab to an unsuspecting wombat who invaded his personal space while he was grazing in a Victorian National Park. Shocked onlookers started filming the native pair at the Wilsons Promontory National Park, in the Gippsland region in southeast Victoria, as the wombat waddled over to the unsuspecting wallaby. Scroll down for video . Sucker punch: A wallaby shocked on lookers as he 'punched' a wombat who approached him while he was grazing . In a performance you would expect from a boxing kangaroo, the wallaby turned around and gave the wombat a little crack on the nose after it seemingly got a little too close for comfort. Onlookers were shocked by the actions of the wallaby but it looks like there's no bad blood between the two native Australian's as they both continued happily grazing in the area straight after the encounter. The wombat had no idea what he was in for as he approached the unsuspecting wallaby . Unlike this encounter, wallabies typically use their strong hind legs to deliver a powerful kick when they are feeling threatened. Wilsons Promontory National Park is home to a range of wildlife including kangaroos, emus, echidnas and numerous other smaller marsupials. The wildlife there has become quite accustomed to human presence and animals will often approach people or enter tents looking for food. Make sure you remember that it's illegal to feed wildlife in the national park and if you're caught could be slapped with a fine by park rangers. | Wallaby has been filmed 'punching' a wombat in a Victorian National Park .

There is an image of Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola deep in conversation during a Barcelona training session that did the rounds on social media a few years ago. Mourinho was Bobby Robson’s assistant at Barcelona and Guardiola was in his final years as a player at the Camp Nou at the time. The picture became the perfect ‘guess the caption’ competition the best one having Guardiola say to Mourinho: ‘I’ll be Barça coach one day and I’ll win the treble’ and Mourinho replying: ‘yeah right, and I’ll manage Real Madrid.’ Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola in deep conversation following a Barcelona training session . No sooner had Luis Enrique joined Barcelona at the start of this season and the photo libraries threw up an even better shot – one of Luis Enrique, Pep and Jose in their time at Barcelona. Then the archive scanners began to notice something about some of the other faces in the pictures from this era – isn’t that current PSG coach Laurent Blanc? And isn’t that current Porto coach Julen Lopetegui? And aren’t four of the coaches of the last eight in this season’s Champions League from the same club at the same time? (From L-R) Barcelona's Juan Carlos Busquets, Luis Enrique, Mourinho and Guardiola at training . Laurent Blanc comes up against Enrique at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday in the Champions League . Blanc was a huge part of the Barcelona XI that won the Spanish Super Cup under Bobby Robson in 1996 . Luis Enrique comes face to with Blanc in the Parc des Princes stadium on Wednesday night and both will have plenty to catch up on. They were both in the Barça team that started the 1996-97 season by winning the Spanish Super Cup against Atletico Madrid 6-4 on aggregate. With Robson in charge and Mourinho’s assisting him the team that won the first silverware of the new season included not just the French World Cup winner and the 62-times Spain international and the aforementioned Lopetegui and Guardiola but Albert Ferrer, who started the season as Cordoba coach; Abelardo Fernandez, who is now coaching Sporting Gijon in Spain’s second tier; and Sergi Barjuan, who has just taken over at Almeria. The Barcelona XI that won the Spanish Super Cup under Bobby Robson in 1996 is breeding managers . Guardiola takes on former Barcelona team-mate Julen Lopetegui who is currently Porto manager . Albert Ferrer, seen battling Pedrag Mijatovic for the ball, went on to coach Spanish side Cordoba . Bobby Robson and Bulgarian defender Hristo Stoichkov celebrate victory against Real Betis . Also in the team were Hristo Stoichkov who has coached Celta Vigo and Bulgaria among others and Juan Antonio Pizzi, who managed Valencia last season and is now at Leon in Mexico. Even those players from that team who never went on to manage have stayed in football with Giovanni now working as a scout for Olympiakos and Guillermo Amor a former director of Barcelona’s youth academy who is now director of football at Adelaide United FC. Among the squad players that season were Roberto Prosinecki and Emmanuel Amunike now coach with Azerbaijan and Nigeria’s Under-17s teams respectively. Former Barcelona 1996 squad player Lopetegui is currently manager of Portuguese giants Porto . Michael Laudrup (left) and Ronald Koeman both went on to manager Premier League clubs . Enrique travels to Paris to take on Blanc's PSG side at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League . Ahead of his meeting with Blanc on Wednesday, Luis Enrique crossed swords with old friend and former team-mate Sergi Barjuan two weeks ago when Barça played Almeria. “It was the last thing we looked like becoming,” he said when I asked the Barcelona manager if both he and Sergi had looked like coaches-in-waiting in their playing days. “You change the way you look at things once you retire.” Luis Enrique believes those who played in positions where they had the pitch in front of them for most of the game – the full-backs, the centre-backs, Pep Guardiola in holding midfield – went on to coach in part because of how tactically astute they had had to become to be successful in their positions as players. Former Argentinean striker Juan Antonio Pizzi went on to manage Valencia and is now in Mexico . Julen Lopetegui: Porto boss . Albert Ferrer: Former Cordoba coach . Gheorghe Popescu: Jailed for money laundering . Abelardo Fernandez: Sporting Gijon coach . Laurent Blanc: PSG boss . Luis Enrique: Barcelona manager . Sergi Barjuan: Almeria coach . Guillermo Amor: Adelaide United sporting director . Pep Guardiola: Bayern Munich coach . Hristo Stoichkov: Former Bulgaria and Celta Vigo coach . Juan Antonio Pizzi: Former Valencia boss now at Leon in Mexico . Andoni Zubizarreta: Former Sporting director at Barcelona . Albert Ferrer: Former Cordoba boss . Ronald Koeman: Southampton manager . Fernando Muñoz: No coaching roles . Eusebio: Former Barcelona B boss . Pep Guardiola: Bayern Munich coach . Jose Mari Bakero: Coached at Malaga and Real Sociedad . Michael Laudrup: Former Swansea, Getafe and Mallorca coach . Juan Carlos: Coaching role at Valladolid . Julio Salinas: Television pundit . Hristo Stoichkov: Former Bulgaria and Celta Vigo coach . It’s perhaps more of a surprise that so many attacking players also graduated to the technical area. Some will have got jobs because they played for Barcelona rather than because of all they learned at Barça – it’s the irresistible pull of giving a Barça old boy a job in the hope he will be able to build a side in his former team’s image. But for every failure there has been a success and there is a 50 per cent chance that whoever wins this season’s Champions League, via the coach, Barcelona’s prints will be on the trophy. | Four of Bobby Robson's 1996 squad are still in the Champions League .

Legendary Barcelona captain Carles Puyol is believed to be training with a view to ending his retirement from football for a lucrative end-of-career spell in Qatar or the United States. Puyol won six La Liga titles and enjoyed three Champions League wins at Barca and is considered to be one of the finest defenders of his generation having been named in UEFA's European team of the year six times across a trophy-laden career. The 36-year-old retired last May after 15 years at his boyhood club having struggled to return from a persistent knee injury, but now reports claim he could be set for a return to playing with New York City or Al-Sadd after returning to training. Barcelona legend Carles Puyol is said to be training ahead of a return to playing in either the US or Qatar . The 36-year-old retired last May after struggling to return from a persistent knee injury that had troubled him . If the reports from Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo prove true, Puyol could join up with Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard in the States or with his former long-term team-mate Xavi, who is expected to move to Qatar with Al-Sadd. The curly-haired centre back had hinted on his retirement that he would consider a return to the game had it not been for the knee injury that plagued the tail-end of his career. 'I don't think I'll be a coach, it's not what I'd like most,' Puyol said in May. 'Maybe I'll change my mind but for now I want to do other things.' Puyol, seen here with Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar al-Baker, could move to the Middle East . Xavi, Puyol's former team-mate, is said to considering a move to Al-Sadd and Puyol could join him there . David Villa is now playing for New York City. Frank Lampard will join him soon and Puyol could be next . The former Barca skipper was named as the club's assistant director of football but he left that role in January when Andoni Zubizarreta, his senior, was fired. Xavi visited Qatar in the last international break ahead of a rumoured move at the end of his Barcelona contract which would see the midfield metronome earn around £7million-a-year, and Puyol could choose a similar route. Alternatively, a New York move would see Puyol join the City Football Group alongside Chelsea legend Lampard and another former team-mate of Puyol's, David Villa. | Former Barcelona centre back Carles Puyol retired in May last year .
But he could now be in line for a return with New York City or Al-Sadd .

Gary Neville tore into Manchester City following their defeat against Crystal Palace by insisting the champions have a 'mentality problem' which prevents them from winning back-to-back titles. The former Manchester United and England defender saw City lose 2-1 to leave them in fourth - nine points short of Chelsea at the top of the Barclays Premier League. 'They've got a mentality problem. There's no doubt,' Neville said on Monday Night Football. 'This team cannot sustain success. Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany leaves the field after their 2-1 defeat by Crystal Palace on Monday . Manuel Pellegirni is under pressure as City fell nine points behind Chelsea in the Premier League table . How the top of the Premier League table looks . 'When you win championships, you've got to be able to come back again and show the same hunger. They don't. They drop off it. They get to the top of the mountain and go, "phew, we did it", and it's the worst thing that can happen.' 'They are falling well short of where they should be. Make no mistake about that. It's now or never for this team. They can't progress beyond the knockout stages or the last 16 of the Champions League. 'They can't sustain success by winning back-to-back championships. They're getting older. Their average age is the highest in the league at 29 and a half. Unfortunately some of those lads not going to be there next season. They're going to pay for what is a disappointing season, it is looking like now. 'They're going to get into the top four but that Manchester City team with the ambition that they have got and with the quality they should be doing a lot better.'

Broadcaster Stephen A. Smith has once again taken a controversial stance on domestic violence on ESPN's First Take. Nine months after Smith received a one-week suspension for claiming women can play a role in provoking men into violence, Smith tried to to claim that boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr's career should be looked at separate from his domestic violence history. In the discussion, he told fellow anchor Cari Champion that he understood why she disagreed with his stance because she was a woman and 'should feel that way'. Scroll down for video . ESPN's First Take anchor Stephen A. Smith is under fire for claiming that Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s boxing career should be looked at independently from his domestic violence history . Responding to a 'Good vs. Evil' approach Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach is taking prior to the boxer's upcoming fight against Mayweather, Smith questioned how Mayweather is being portrayed in the media. When co-host Cari Champion said she had an issue with Mayweather's domestic violence history, Smith said that was because she's a woman and 'should feel that way . Mayweather has been convicted twice for domestic violence, according to the New York Post. 'What makes me uncomfortable is that they're also lumping all of this other stuff that Floyd Mayweather allegedly has done to say, "Well, you know what? Look at how much of a bad guy he is",' Smith told Champion and Skip Bayless on April 8. He added: 'When you take the position that you take, Cari, against - I got no problems with this, you're a woman, you should feel that way - anybody else, based on what he's been accused of, I get that. I have no issue whatsoever.' Champion jumped in, saying: 'I definitely have an issue with his domestic-violence record, but I also have an issue with how he treats women period outside the ring.' Smith stuck with his words, claiming that Champion only holds the position she has because she is a woman. He said: 'I'm saying that her position is clear because she's a woman, and this is how she feels he conducts himself. 'I am a boxing fan. When I'm talking about Mayweather-Pacquiao, I'm thinking about two dudes strictly in the boxing ring. And that's all I'm doing. 'But Freddie Roach takes this to another level. Anybody that's rooting for Floyd Mayweather, it's almost like, "What kind of person are you!" Floyd Mayweather Jr, left, is set to face off against boxer Manny Pacquiao on Saturday. Pacquiao's trainer has taken a 'good vs evil' approach to the fight, claiming Pacquiao represents good and Mayweather represents evil . 'And when you feed into it by grasping what he says, it's almost like, "What kind of a person are you!" I'm a guy that loves boxing.' In a July episode of First Take, Smith victim-blamed when he said women play a role in preventing attacks in the wake of the Ray Rice scandal. During the discussion, Smith alluded to women in abuse cases when he said, 'Let's make sure we don't do anything to provoke wrong action... we got to also make sure that you can do your part to do whatever you can do to make, to try to make sure it doesn't happen again.' | Stephen A. Smith said Floyd Mayweather Jr's boxing career should be looked at as separate from his domestic violence history .
Mayweather has been convicted twice for domestic violence in the past .
Smith said that people are 'lumping all of this other stuff that Floyd Mayweather allegedly has done', which sheds a bad light on him .
Co-anchor Cari Champion said she has 'an issue with how he treats women period outside the ring'
Smith said she holds that position because she's a woman and that as a boxing fan, he looks at 'two dudes strictly in the boxing ring' | [

Tottenham are considering a state-of-the-art stadium with a retractable pitch that enables them to become the home of a new NFL London franchise. The bold design of the new £400million stadium, due to be completed for the start of the 2018-19 season, could involve a ‘slide-out’ grass football pitch with an NFL-style synthetic surface housed underneath. The option of extra-large changing rooms, to accommodate NFL squad sizes that can amount to as many as 70 players at a game, is also being explored by architects. Tottenham are considering sharing their new £400m stadium with an NFL franchise . A spokesman for the north London club did not rule out the possibility this week, confirming that they are ‘looking at options’ in order to ‘future-proof the design’. The NFL is said to be within five years of having a permanent franchise in London. Indeed officials will be testing logistics when they stage their three games at Wembley this autumn, with teams looking at how quickly they can have their players back in the USA and ready to play again. The clash between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars on October 25 will kick-off at 1.30pm while the New York Jets vs Miami Dolphins game on October 4 and Detroit Lions vs Kansas City Chiefs contest on November 1 will both begin at 2.30pm. As well as allowing the NFL to experiment with a live game on TV at breakfast time in the States (9.30am Eastern time), teams are able to take advantage of the time difference and be home on American soil by Sunday night. Tottenham's new state-of-the-art stadium is due to be ready in time for the 2018-19 season . Spurs' new 65,000 capacity stadium could be better suited to the NFL than the 90,000-seat Wembley . If Tottenham press ahead with the proposed stadium design and secure the NFL franchise it would represent a significant blow to the FA, who also see the NFL as a potentially lucrative partner for Wembley, their £757m stadium. But the NFL are keeping their options open at this stage in the knowledge that a new London stadium designed with American football requirements in mind would be hugely advantageous. Even the proposed capacity of 65,000 for the new White Hart Lane is a more realistic target than 90,000 seats which Wembley boasts. Wembley does have the iconic status that the NFL finds attractive but there are other issues with the national stadium. Not least the fact that they have to leave the lowest 5,000 seats empty so that the view of spectators is not restricted by the mass of huge bodies on the touchline. The modern NFL stadiums make sight-lines for spectators a priority and the new White Hart Lane could overcome the problem that is experienced at Wembley by having the artificial pitch at a significantly lower level beneath the moveable grass pitch. Wembley has hosted NFL regular-season matches since the International Series began in 2007 . Detroit Lions' clash with Atlanta Falcons kicked off early, as will all three games at Wembley later this year . Retractable grass pitches are nothing new in modern stadia design. England have played on two: at Gelsenkirchen in Germany during the 2006 World Cup and in the Sapporo Dome in Japan four years earlier. The Gelredome in Holland also has a retractable pitch, as does the University of Phoenix Stadium that hosted this year’s Super Bowl. The advantage for these stadiums is the ability to grow the grass in a more natural environment, outside, away from the shadows of the stands while also having the capacity to stage different events without damaging the playing surface. A feat of modern engineering, a pitch can be moved outside the stadium in less than four hours. A spokesman for Tottenham said: ‘The club has always seen the new stadium as being at the heart of the regeneration of the area and it is important, therefore, to look at how we future-proof the design, as well as increasing the functionality of the stadium, whilst being conscious of community uses. At this stage it is about looking at options but nothing more.’ | Tottenham's new £400m stadium due to be completed for 2018-19 season .

The scene in the Old Government House Hotel could not be further removed from the horrors of war. There is a soft swell of conversation as afternoon tea is served, a clink of cutlery on crockery, the discreet burble of tea being poured into china cups. Somewhere outside, the clouds part and light floods the lounge. I reach for another scone, ladle on a hearty dose of jam and cream, and marvel that, in this context, 70 years seems an eternity. Rewind those seven decades and Guernsey's only five-star hotel – pitched on the hillside above the harbour in the capital St Peter Port – would have been home to a decidedly less relaxed atmosphere. Seventy years on: St Peter Port in Guernsey is one of the key locations for the Heritage Festival . During the German occupation of the Channel Islands (30 June 1940 to 9 May 1945), this stately retreat was commandeered as the General Staff Headquarters. Invading officers would have stalked its corridors. By April 1945, they would have been wearing sour expressions as the tide of conflict turned back on Berlin, and the Channel Islands – bypassed by the D-Day fightback of ten months earlier - awaited their salvation. That eventual liberation is being celebrated again this month – and with gusto. The ongoing Channel Islands Heritage Festival (3 April–11 May) is a five-week hurrah of history, parades, concerts and food that will unite most of the archipelago – Guernsey, Alderney, Jersey, Herm and Sark. This is no small feat. Fiercely individual, the islands have never before combined to stage a big event. But here they have common cause. Liberation Day itself will turn St Peter Port and Jersey's capital St Helier into swirls of people and music. It is not difficult to find traces of Guernsey's harrowing half-decade. The occupation lingers in the old German fortifications that litter the coastline – the swarthy, sinister tower of Fort Saumarez which rears up on the west coast; the similarly menacing Fort Hommet in the north. Intrigued, I stroll into the stiff winds which burst up from the sea to walk around the hard muscle of Pleinmont Tower, on the south-west shore. It is an oddly unnerving experience, the pillar-box slots in the bastion's sides eyeing me quietly. When I face the water, I almost expect to feel the chill metal of a machine-gun barrel on my neck. Coastal curves: Guernsey's dramatic shoreline includes the wide expanse of Portelet Bay . You can go further into Guernsey's wartime heritage. What appears to be a car park behind La Colinette Hotel on the western outskirts of St Peter Port reveals itself as the hub of enemy communications in the Channel Islands. Hidden down a damp flight of stairs, the former German Naval Signals Headquarters is all but invisible unless you know it is there. This, of course, was the point. Its unremarkable door gives onto a vast underground space which once hummed with radio chatter, semaphore murmur and serious conversation. German signs and instructions are still daubed onto the walls. The bunker will be open to the public as part of the festival – its secrets brought into the light. The German Occupation Museum at Les Houards offers further perspective, flitting from frivolity to fear – on one hand the photo album of Freda Oliver, a local girl who dated (and married) a German officer; on the other, exhibits on the inevitable fate of the island's Jewish population, and copies of the Guernsey Evening Press turned to propaganda sheet. The darkness of life under Nazi rule is most obvious at the German Military Underground Hospital, at La Vassalerie. This enormous labyrinth was carved out by the slave-labour sweat of prisoners of war – plenty of whom died in the process. As did many of the injured German troops brought here from France after the D-Day landings. With its dank passages and horror-film ambience, the hospital is the definition of an unhappy building. An island guardian: Mont Orgueil Castle has protected the east coast of Jersey since the 13th century . The picture is replicated 27 miles to the south-east. Jersey is a short hop from Guernsey – around an hour by fast ferry, less by air. Here, the Jersey War Tunnels – another military-medical complex – have been restored into something less frightening, with museum displays and fascinating facts slotted into the long tunnels. The side-effects of occupation can be seen here – the breakdown of society apparent in transcripts of letters where neighbours informed on each other about hidden radios and petty jealousies. But so can the joy that liberation brought. Glorious video footage shows euphoria in St Helier as the news of German surrender broke; the Union Jack being hoisted at the Pomme D'Or Hotel. The hotel came to symbolise the Channel Islands' moment of deliverance. In a way, it still does, peering across what is now called Liberation Square, where a tall bronze sculpture captures seven people in the act of raising the flag – laughing, as if they are flying a kite. Other echoes resound across St Helier. The Jersey Museum and Art Gallery has a catalogue of copies of the Jersey Evening Post dating back 125 years, its photos recalling the war era in day-by-day detail (albeit through a fog of strict German control). The nearby Maritime Museum proffers the Occupation Tapestry Gallery – a montage of bright images, stitched by islanders for the 50th anniversary of liberation in 1995, which depict Jersey brought to heel – armed troops in the streets, the island hemmed in by a ragged circle of fire. And the Jersey Archive is host to a remarkable resource – over 30,000 of the Occupation Registration Cards which were forced on islanders by the Nazi authorities. There are no smiles here – just a series of furrowed brows and unhappy faces. Bright days ahead: A view of the pretty coastal enclave of Gorey from the ramparts of Mont Orgueil Castle . The heaviness of the German bootprint is perhaps summed up by Battery Lothringen – a concrete watchdog which looks like it might still bite. This colossal bunker – which will also be accessible during the festival – 'protected' St Helier from the far side of St Aubin's Bay. The stairs into its depths seem to go down forever, to gun posts, control rooms and sleeping quarters – the decades peeling away as I walk in the firm footsteps of the enemy. And yet, just seven miles north-west, it all feels like a bad dream. St Brelade's Bay Hotel gazes at the water in a rather more benign manner. In the summer of 1940, it was another German outpost, requisitioned as a hang-out by Luftwaffe pilots. It is not difficult to grasp why it was coveted. Over breakfast, I peer out of the wide restaurant windows – at waves rolling gently up to the beach, and at St Brelade's, a pretty block of an 11th century church whose graveyard hovers above the sand. There is no stomp of marching boots this morning – but for five weeks, the Channel Islands are remembering a time when there was.

A British former supermarket security guard, who left his parents house and became an ISIS jihadist in Syria, has been busy writing advice about 'dealing' with wannabe jihadi brides. Omar Hussain, 27, from High Wycombe, first came to prominence when he appeared in a ISIS propaganda video, urging the West to send troops to fight ISIS, vowing 'we'll send them back one by one in coffins.' Now the fighter has been promoting himself as an amateur Islamic thinker, regularly attempting to write about daily issues faced by jihadists. Omar Hussain, 27, from High Wycombe, used to live at home with his mother and work as a security guard at Morrisons before he travelled to Syria. Entitled 'Dealing with sisters and social media', the lazy fighter dishes out his best advice for handling the ladies. The fighter, who still hasn't managed to find himself a jihadi bride, encourages fighters not to be disheartened by the other fighters who get married via social media. The extremist warns of jihadi brides becoming jealous of other women liking their husband's social media account too much. He wrote: 'No pious sister would be pleased to see her husband getting so many likes from other sisters. Not to mention how glamorous some of these niqabi sisters try to look in their poses of their profile pics. The 27-year-old claimed: 'Even a simple word of praise from a sister online can damage your intention. Always keep yourself in check.' Hussain initially joined Jabhat al-Nusra but switched to ISIS after just four months. He spends most of his time writing and taking photographs from his home in Raqqa, Syria. Creepy jihadi Omar Hussain also has a cat, known as Lucy, whom he adopted from the streets. The bachelor has been keen to dish out advice on securing jihadi brides. When he is not furiously trying to write advice about Islam, Hussain seems to enjoy eating plenty of unhealthy snacks and attempting to cook. The hapless self styled hitch wrote: 'You may see some brothers with so many sisters following them, with sisters praising them, writing on their page etc. But just ignore the temptations.' Hussain also describes women as 'the adornment of this world, and man is constantly tempted to seek a woman's attention.' Whilst he loves giving out advice on social media, Hussain appears to struggle with life outside the cyber world. Unable to fight, Hussain finds even the most basic tasks in life difficult and even recently admitted it took him an astonishing 50 minutes to peel just 10 minuscule potatoes. The failed fighter wrote: 'Life can't go on like this, I need a Sabi (servant) :(' He confessed that he had to cut up the potatoes the next morning after tiring himself out with the peeling process. Unable to fight, Hussain finds even the most basic tasks in life difficult and even admitted it even took him an astonishing 50 minutes to peel just 10 minuscule potatoes. The fighter recently claimed he had been a terror camp trainer whilst he was with Jabhat al-Nusra. He also posted a picture of a gym which he appears to have briefly visited. The calamitous jihadi initially joined the Al Qaeda affiliated group Jabhat al-Nusra, before switching to the more popular ISIS after just four months. Surprisingly, the fighter recently claimed he had been a terror camp trainer whilst he was with Jabhat al-Nusra. He wrote: 'Initially I was with Jabhat An-Nusrah, so all my training was done with them, and due to my physique at the time, I was appointed to stay in the training camp and train the new set of brothers.' Whilst it is difficult to verify Hussain's claims, it is possible that he was involved in the training of other fighters. Last August, Hussain appeared on BBC2's Newsnight, saying: 'I hate the UK, the only reason why I would intend to return to the UK is when I want to come and plant a bomb somewhere.' | The lonely jihadi has been attempting to give advice on relationships with jihadi brides .

Franck Ribery claims he turned down Real Madrid five years ago because he was told he was as important to Bayern Munich as Lionel Messi was to Barcelona. The French winger, 32, has won four Bundesliga titles as well as a Champions League during his time with the German giants, but it could have all been different had a proposed move to the Bernabeu in 2009 gone through. Real wanted Ribery after he fell out with then-Bayern head coach Louis van Gaal, though he says he was convinced to stay after being sold on his importance by the club's elite. Franck Ribery was convinced to reject Real Madrid after being sold on his importance to Bayern Munich . He was told that he could be as vital to Bayern as Lionel Messi is to Barcelona . Ribery fell out with then-head coach Louis van Gaal and says Real were willing to pay for him . 'I had intensive talks with Uli Hoeness, who was still president back then, and chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge,' Ribery told Goal. 'They told me I should not go, how the club needed me, how I was as important for Bayern as Lionel Messi was for Barcelona. 'Real tried, they wanted me. I don't know what price Bayern wanted them to pay. In the end I am happy how it ended.' As well as enjoying the collective success with Bayern, Ribery also picked up UEFA awards after his performances during the Champions League-winning campaign in 2012/13. The Frenchman, who has retired from international football, was third behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in the 2013 Ballon d'Or awards.

Standing in a public shower cubicle with my screaming 15-month-old son, I was starting to wonder whether I truly was a Keycamp type of person. My hazy memories of similar family holidays as a child were of slow days spent on pine-scented campsites, punctuated by trips to sun-soaked beaches. But here I was, a fully-fledged father, some quarter of a century later wondering what had gone wrong. Our journey to Argeles-sur-Mer on France’s Mediterranean coast went without a hitch, despite being in the minority of travellers flying, then hiring a car, rather than driving all the way. But the fatal decision was to try and wash the children, toddler Joe and five-year-old Anna, after arriving in a tired and tetchy state at Camping La Chapelle. Chris Greenwood stayed at Camping La Chappelle with his wife, Catherine, and children, Joe and Anna . Families congregated around the pools every afternoon for relief from the August heat . It was at this point I discovered that we didn’t have any hot water and the baby bath had a big hole in the bottom and no plug. With stubborn determination I slung the youngest over my shoulder, grabbed some towels and trudged off to the shower block. Minutes later he had showed me the error of my ways in the way that only toddlers can. And this was something I was left to chew over, as we quickly realised neither stubbornness nor determination have a place in this land of dappled sunlight, flip-flops and fresh baguettes. The children spent plenty of time in the pool, playing with the many new friends they made . Joe wears oversized sunglasses while relaxing by the pool at Camping La Chappelle in Argeles-sur-Mer . Instead over the next 10 days we threw ourselves at the mercy of campsite life, simply taking the path of least resistance. With hindsight, we should, of course, on that first night have just thrown the children into bed – dirt and all – and gone swimming first thing. Eurocamp (which has since absorbed Keycamp under its banner), and its stable of mobile home accommodation, provide everything you need to make a great success of simple pleasures like these. Things have come on a long way since I was a foot shorter and my family holidayed every year in tents across the south-west of France. The Greenwood family made several trips to the pleasant Argeles beach with its mountain backdrop . Multiple swimming pools, a kids club, swings and a bakery kept the Greenwoods busy during their stay . Lugging jerry cans of water back to our tent with its zip-up compartments and constant procession of ants had its charm, but so does double-glazing, a fully-fitted kitchen and air conditioning. We stayed in a Vista three-bedroom mobile home. It’s not huge, the bedrooms have the feel of a ship cabin, but it’s all there. The shower is decent with plenty of hot water – once the boiler has been sparked into life by a handy courier – and you’ve got your own loo and a decent size fridge. Two sets of doors lead out on to a deck, equipped with a gas-fired barbecue and, in our case, a permanent al fresco bath for Joe. Camping La Chapelle's biggest selling point is a fantastic swimming pool complex, including two water slides . Eurocamp offer sites for all types and tastes, and Camping La Chapelle is probably quite typical of a modern French campsite. This is certainly not your isolated enclave where you spend the evening listening only to the cicadas and warm wind rustling through the trees. Instead, you are likely to be able to hear the distant sounds of a German murdering a 1980s pop classic at karaoke night at the bar. But it’s a trade-off if you want somewhere lively and family orientated, which this campsite certainly is. In La Chapelle’s case, the biggest selling point is the fantastic swimming pool complex, including two water slides. There is even a heated pool with a retractable roof, under which we spent a memorable afternoon sheltering from a thunderstorm that rolled in from the Pyrenees. Joe and Anne, pictured with dad Chris, enjoyed the kids club, run by a team of dedicated workers . Families congregated around the pools every afternoon for relief from the August heat and Anna became an almost permanent fixture in the water, playing with the many new friends she’d made on the site. So the pool became a mainstay of our pleasant daily routine, which began with picking up freshly baked bread from the campsite bakery and ended with drinks and snacks on the deck. We quickly made use of the kids club, run by a small team of dedicated and enthusiastic couriers. Four hours of varied entertainment is on offer for children aged five to 12, six days of the week, and during our stay those in charge worked hard to build a rapport with their young charges from Britain, Ireland, Germany and Holland. Chris and Catherine get into the spirit at Camping La Chappelle's campsite 'Olympics' for children . Anna enjoyed games, crafts and an X-Factor-style talent show as the club proved a hub for families staying with Keycamp and its sister company Eurocamp. The two tribes were ultimately set against each other with an evening campsite ‘Olympics’, at which I am sad to report Eurocamp cleaned up. But not before our children had soaked their couriers to the skin in a bizarre game involving body paint, shouting and many, many bottles of water. As the days went on we settled into a pleasant routine, padding about the site between the bakery, kids club, swings and swimming pools. We did venture off site most mornings, making the 10-minute walk to the pleasant Argeles beach with its mountain backdrop and host of accessible cafes, bars and a mini-supermarket. When the Greenwoods weren't in the pool they spent time on the beach in the stunning port of Collioure . A little further afield was the stunning port of Collioure, once a magnet for artists including Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. It really is a picture postcard place, with a little bay and beach perfect for swimming, surrounded by traditional French cafes, restaurants and arts and crafts boutiques. We went back twice to make sure we hadn’t missed anything in its winding maze of pretty streets. Once my wife and I found a new rhythm we pretty much all agreed that we could be Keycamp kind of people. We vowed never to force Joe to take a shower ever again though – at least not until he is big enough to take himself. Chris and his family stayed at Camping La Chapelle, Argeles-Sur-Mer, for 10 nights with Keycamp (www.eurocamp.co.uk or 0844 406 0319), which now operates under the Eurocamp banner. Eurocamp offer self-catering holidays at more than 160 sites across Europe, including popular regions like the Dordogne, Holland and central Italy. From May 25, 2015, a seven-night stay in a two-bedroom Esprit mobile home at Camping La Chapelle starts at £427. Peak season flights with easyJet to Montpellier from Gatwick start at £65 each way, plus baggage. Chris hired a car with Europcar, which cost around £250 for 10 days, including two child seats and unlimited mileage. | Chris Greenwood travelled with his family to Argeles-sur-Mer, France .

You don't have to be an avid follower of Manchester United to know that Radamel Falcao has struggled badly at Old Trafford this year. Goals have been hard to come by for the Colombian, with just four being netted by the striker this season in a United shirt having signed on a season-long loan from Monaco. But not only has Falcao failed to score since January 31 against Leicester, he has also failed to have a shot on target in the Premier League - featuring in 10 games since.During that period he has collected £3,080,000 in wages. Radamel Falcao fires wide for Manchester United past Chelsea's onrushing keeper Thibaut Courtois . Falcao stands dejected with Wayne Rooney at the final whistle following United's 1-0 loss at Chelsea . Falcao looks on with Marouane Fellaini waiting to kick-off following Eden Hazard's strike . Granted, Falcao has not always featured for the Red Devils but the striker's £280,000-a-week wages are a massive burden for United, making a permanent move this summer even more unlikely despite the uncertain future of strike partner Robin van Persie. Falcao started in Manchester United's 1-0 defeat at Chelsea on Saturday, but despite playing the full 90 minutes for a side that bossed over 70 per cent of the ball, he struggled to get involved in the game. The striker saw a shot blocked by Gary Cahill and had another two shots fly wide in the second half. But otherwise the Colombian's biggest impact was a negative one as he lost the ball following a John Terry challenge in the build up to Eden Hazard's winning goal at Stamford Bridge. Following another failed audition in front of manager Louis van Gaal, Falcao's Premier League adventure is set to go down as a costly mistake for the Red Devils. John Terry had the upper hand on Falcao in their personal scrap, with the Chelsea captain winning the ball off the striker to start a move which led to Hazard's goal in the Premier League clash . Falcao hasn't scored or had a shot on target for United since netting against Leicester in January . Sportsmail's Match Zone shows Falcao's heat map for the striker's display at Chelsea . | Radamel Falcao was ineffective for Manchester Utd in 1-0 loss by Chelsea .

A mother is suing her local council over claims it ignored complaints of bullying that she says left her autistic daughter with post-traumatic stress disorder. Tracy Stratton said her daughter, Tianni, suffered physical attacks and verbal abuse at Greenacres Primary School in Eltham, south east London. She claims the seven-year-old has been left so traumatised that she has almost stopped talking and is afraid to leave the house. A psychologist diagnosed Tianni with PTSD, she added. Bullied: Tracy Stratton claims seven-year-old Tianni (pictured together) has been left so traumatised that she has almost stopped talking and is afraid to leave the house. A psychologist diagnosed Tianni with PTSD, she added . Ms Stratton is now claiming damages from The Royal Borough of Greenwich Council, after she says the school ignored at least five reports of bulling. The 45-year-old said Tianni 'absolutely adored' school when she first started last April but that signs of trouble emerged just four weeks later when her daughter started to become more reserved. Worried her daughter was being picked on, Ms Stratton said she approached staff at the school but that they refused to listen to her concerns. One one occasion, Ms Stratton said her daughter, who is half Asian, wore sun cream in an attempt to change the colour of her skin. Victim: Tianni, suffered physical attacks and verbal abuse at Greenacres Primary School in Eltham, south east London, her mother claims . She said: 'On the walk home from school she put sun cream on. She has beautiful brown skin. 'She put a big dollop of sun cream on her arm and said, 'look mum I'm white, I'm English now". 'I wiped it off and said, "you are English, you have beautiful brown skin, anytime anyone says that remember one thing: brown is beautiful and don't let anyone else tell you different". 'I wanted to burst into tears.' But the full-time mother said she only realised the full extent of the bullying when she saw her daughter being attacked in the playground shortly before the start of the school summer holidays. She said: 'I saw a girl slap her but the teachers tried to say she was making it up because of her autism.' A few weeks later, Tianni confided in her mother and grandmother about the abuse. Ms Stratton then reported the bullying five times in writing, according to legal documents. Tianni refused to go back to school and is now being educated at home. Ms Stratton said she had no choice but to approach a solicitor in September who handed the council a legal notice in December after her daughter verged on being a mute. She said: 'She was never Mrs Chatty but she's got worse since she was diagnosed with PTSD in November. 'My daughter went from a bright, happy and vibrant little girl who wanted to play with her friends and do what other girls her age were doing to being a recluse, like a flower that has wilted. Ms Stratton said she had no choice but to approach a solicitor in September who handed the council a legal notice in December after her daughter verged on being a mute. Above, the mother and daughter at home . 'I got a solicitor in October when nobody at the school was listening to me and we launched the legal action in December. 'Tianni's had her life interrupted. I want to sue for damages for her trauma.' The Royal Borough of Greenwich refused to comment. A spokesperson said: 'The council doesn't comment on individual cases.'

A Texas English high school teacher has been arrested after being accused of having an improper relationship with a male student older than 17 years old. Mary Todd Lowrance, 49, a teacher at Moises E Molina High School, turned herself into Dallas Independent School District police on Thursday morning, according to Dallas ISD Police Chief Craig Miller. Miller said the teacher had been in a relationship with the student for a couple of months. Officers learned of the alleged relationship after Lowrance disclosed details to a coworker who then alerted a Dallas ISD officer. Mary Todd Lowrance (above), 49, a Texas English high school teacher was arrested after being accused of having an improper relationship with a male student over the age of 17, according to authorities . If the student had been a juvenile, the case would have been handled by the Dallas Police Department, Miller told The Dallas Morning News. 'When you get 160,000 students and 10,000 teachers, you hear a lot of rumors, and you have to investigate all of them,' said Miller. 'And in this case, there was something to it. The student has been offered counseling. We're doing everything we can for him as well.' Miller said that after Lowrance's coworker alerted authorities, it prompted an investigation where interviews were conducted with Lowrance, the student and two witnesses. The Dallas ISD police then got an arrest warrant. Miller said Lowrance has been on leave for several weeks while investigators worked on the case, according to NBCDFW. After she turned herself into authorities, she was booked into the Dallas County jail around 11am on Thursday on a $5,000 bond and was released at 4.40pm, according to county records. Calls made to the Dallas Independent School District police on Friday were not immediately returned to Daily Mail Online.

A marathon runner who parked his car before taking part in the race has found it again nine days after the 26 mile event following a public appeal. Jason Matthews, 40, left his black Saab 93 in a side street on his way to the starting line of the Manchester Marathon on April 19. But when the runner from Wolverhampton finished the race after five hours 11 minutes of running he was unable to remember where he had parked it. Jason Matthews, 40, (pictured after the race) lost his car after parking up before the Manchester Marathon on April 19 and is about to be reunited with it after a Good Samaritan gave up his day off to join the search . Mr Matthews spent hours searching for his missing car, even retracing some of the marathon route before enlisting the help of a taxi driver to help him. He spent 40 minutes driving through the area of the city surrounding Manchester United's Old Trafford ground before going to a police station to ask for help, but eventually had to give up and get a train back to his home in the Midlands. However, his car has now been found safe and sound by Adam Coppin from Salford, who read of Mr Matthews's plight and decided to use his day off to help. Mr Coppin, 32, spent this morning searching for Mr Matthews's car and found it safe and sound in an office car park in Salford Quays. 'I've been in similar situations parking at work, then forgetting what floor of the multi-storey I've parked on and walking around for ages,' said Mr Coppin, who works as a technical advisor at MediaCityUK. 'I could imagine his frustration, especially after running a marathon. 'I read the story on Monday night and had an idea from the description where it might be. 'As I had today off, I decided to go out and look for it and managed to find it. 'There is no damage apart from a few blossoms falling down on it from the tree above. I'm glad I could help.' Mr Matthews left his black Saab 93, similar to this model, in a side street close to Manchester United's Old Trafford ground before the race . Mr Matthews, a delivery driver for a builders' merchants, said he could remember driving into Manchester up Princess Parkway and then onto the Mancunian Way, before taking the A56 towards Trafford on his way to the race. He then remembers driving past Old Trafford on his left before parking up in a car park on a side street near a small office block. Mr Matthews, who was competing in the Manchester Marathon for the first time, said: 'The area looked like a small estate and there were chaps with high vis vests waving people in. 'I did the race then walked back past Old Trafford and looked around for about an hour. 'I actually ended up walking part of the course again. 'Then I spent about 40 minutes in a taxi and we looked all around near the Imperial War Museum but couldn't find it. Mr Matthews had searched this area of Manchester during the hunt for his missing car . 'I went to the police station and there was another chap and a lady there in exactly the same position.' Mr Matthews, who has competed in nine other marathons, added: 'I was that worn out, I was just anxious and annoyed. Manchester council had told him there was no record of the vehicle, which had a silver bike rack attached to it, being towed or impounded. Grateful Mr Matthews said he was so relieved to be reunited with the vehicle that he wants to make a donation to a charity of Mr Coppin's choice in order to say thank you. He plans to travel to Manchester tomorrow to retrieve his vehicle. 'I am so relieved, it's a massive burden lifted off me,' he said. 'I'm so glad I don't have to go out looking for it again or buy a new car. I am so grateful to this chap for finding it for me. 'Once I've got it back I'd like to make a donation to a charity of his choice to say thank you for his troubles.' | Jason Matthews, 40, parked in side street before Manchester Marathon .

(CNN)It was a masterful performance. I watched in awe on Thursday as cardiothoracic surgeon and celebrity talk show host Mehmet Oz surfed a gargantuan wave of criticism to shore. I should have expected that Dr. Oz would keep standing in the face of charges from a group of colleagues that he pushed "quack treatments ... for personal financial gain." And thanks to the ineptitude of his critics this round, he may have actually boosted his media empire. But he's increasingly serving himself at a cost to Columbia University and New York Presbyterian Hospital. If Dr. Oz was ever going to go down, surely his ship would've sunk last summer in the wake of his disastrous testimony before a Senate subcommittee. He was ostensibly invited to speak as an expert witness about bogus weight loss products, . But Sen. Claire McCaskill, chairwoman of the Senate's Consumer Protection Panel, instead made him her chief example of the kind of snake oil salesmen that keep hoodwinking consumers into thinking there's a quick fix for their expanding waistlines. John Oliver subsequently eviscerated Oz on his hit HBO show "Last Week Tonight." In a segment that's now garnered over 6 million YouTube views, Oliver makes quick work of Oz's claims about "magic" green coffee beans, a product that's now earned a $9 million FTC fine for its false marketing claims. Despite his utter humiliation, Dr. Oz soldiered on, with his university and hospital continuing to stand by him, and with Harpo Productions and Sony, who co-produce "The Dr. Oz Show," fully behind his program. If the U.S. Senate couldn't bring him down, what made this particular collection of 10 doctors think they could do it with their recent letter to Columbia University, where Dr. Oz holds a tenured professorship and administrative position in the Department of Surgery and performs his duties at Columbia-affiliated New York Presbyterian Hospital? The doctors insisted that the university must disassociate itself from Dr. Oz for his now well-established tendency to promote cure-alls more befitting 1915 than 2015. Turnabout is fair play. And Oz and his producers responded with alacrity, slicing and dicing his ill-prepared challengers with an investigative segment that would've made "Dateline" proud. He and his team score points with me for pointing out the media's own failings in delightedly circulating the letter without looking into the backgrounds of anyone involved. It's a simple matter to question ulterior motives when the letter itself takes pains to highlight Oz's critical attitude toward GMO foods, not one of his greatest indiscretions by a long shot. Dr. Oz after all has conducted experiments on his TV audience, apparently in violation of the rules of his own academic medical center. He has a propensity to spout laughably definitive statements with little to no scientific support, such as his advice that "every kid in America ought to be on Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin D from either the sun or a pill" because this regimen will help them withstand concussions. Instead of mounting a defense of the indefensible claims he delivers so easily and often, Dr. Oz routed his critics by quickly pivoting to the undercurrents of their letter. He correctly pointed out that several of the letter's signatories are GMO industry shills. One of the writers campaigned against a California proposition requiring GMO labeling, and one of the bunch even served time for felony Medicaid fraud. These characters never stood a chance in tipping the scales against Dr. Oz, but they got their headlines nonetheless. Dr. Oz was able to transition their critique of his apparent disregard for science on his program into an easily vanquished attack on his straightforward stand for consumers' right to accurate product labeling. When my wife first brought the letter to my attention, I immediately wanted to know whether these were Columbia physicians. This whole affair would've played out quite differently if a slate of credible colleagues based at his own institution were coming out against Dr. Oz. So far they've made no demand for his resignation, though some colleagues made their discomfort public in an op-ed for USAToday last week. Dr. Oz is well-aware that some colleagues question him, discussing that tension in his Time magazine op-ed. He says he doesn't expect all physicians to understand his approach to health promotion, where he's willing to entertain just about everything, even seances. The closed, physician-only social network Sermo issued Dr. Oz numerous questions from its membership, none of which Dr. Oz answered. They are revelatory of physician attitudes toward him nonetheless. One doc asked Dr. Oz how he could keep up with the fast-changing world of cardiothoracic surgery and carry on with his show every weekday. Another asked him how he knows so much about so many areas of medicine -- "Ru board certified n all these areas?". Both types of questions show the profound disconnect between most physicians, who tend not to speak unless they are certain in their expertise on a topic, and the way the media industry works. Dr. Oz's show doesn't require he stay up late at night prepping for the next day -- he has an office full of production staff behind him. Let's take it as a given that not every physician across America, or at Columbia, has to agree with what Dr. Oz says on his program. I certainly don't. Does he have the right to say it? Yes, but not without challenge. A real case can be made that Dr. Oz has used his media megaphone to do harm as well as good. He is now a polarizing figure, and while Columbia University should be lauded for protecting the free speech of its academic staff, the equation with Dr. Oz is becoming increasingly complex. He's no longer simply good PR for the University and New York Presbyterian Hospital, which is often featured in his show. The letter writers were correct about one thing: Columbia's reputation is now linked with the Big Kahuna standing right out in front. | Ford Vox: When celeb doc Mehmet Oz slammed by doctors for 'quack' medicine, he hit back, but their complaint has some basis .
He says Oz scorned by some in medical community, at Senate hearing; comics joke about him. He serves himself at cost to his hospital . | [

The TV channel E4 will shut down for 12 hours on the day of the general election to encourage more youngsters to vote. Cult US sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother will be taken off air for 12 hours – with viewers tuning in on 7 May shown instead an advert telling people to go to the polls. The specially-produced advert will be played, featuring 'Darren' – the man fictionally in charge of keeping E4 on air, sitting in the channel's control room. Scroll down for video . A specially-produced advert will be played on E4 on May 7 featuring 'Darren' – the man fictionally in charge of keeping the programme on air . The radical move could have a significant impact on the election with the advert set to be seen by millions of potential voters. E4 is the most popular channel for younger viewers, reaching 8.7 million 16-34 year olds every month – ahead of BBC2 and Channel 5. Its regular schedule will be suspended from 7am, when polls open, to 7pm, three hours before polling closes, when the channel will return to normal with Hollyoaks. Dan Brooke, Channel 4's chief marketing officer said: 'Less than half of under-25s voted at the last election so we've engaged the most powerful weapon that we have at our disposal to try and boost that number - switching off their favourite TV channel for the day.' E4's sister station Channel 4 will also run a special advertising campaign encouraging youngsters to vote. Voters aged between 18-24 and 25-34 are by far the least likely to take part in elections, prompting fears that politicians have given up trying to appeal to their concerns . The adverts will ask viewers: 'How many times have you missed life-changing events because you wanted to watch your favourite show? 'May 7 is election day and Darren is going to turn E4 off so you might as well go and vote. You won't forget will you Darren?' But viewers will only be able to take advantage of the TV switch-off if they have already registered to vote – with the deadline having already passed. Meanwhile, Channel 4 will present an 'alternative' to the election night coverage on the BBC and ITV, with a programme co-anchored by Jeremy Paxman and comedian David Mitchell. Paxman, who left BBC Two's Newsnight last June, said: 'Elections matter. But that doesn't mean the coverage has to be dull. I hope there'll be room for both insight and laughter.' The election-day shut down on E4 will see programmes including 'How I Met Your Mother' (pictured) taken off air for 12 hours . Fans of the US sitcom The Big Bang Theory will also be hit by the E4 decision to switch off its coverage between 7am and 7pm . Mitchell added: 'Our aim is to keep people watching much later than they intended and we will be judged by the dip in the nation's productivity on Friday 8 May.' The show will also include special election-themed episodes of Gogglebox and The Last Leg. The BBC's coverage of the election will be anchored by David Dimbleby, while Tom Bradby presides over ITV's election show and Adam Boulton anchors Sky's coverage. | Cult US shows like The Big Bang Theory will be axed for 12 hours on May 7 .

A father has admitted killing his 13-year-old son by giving him a morphine tablet when the boy complained that he was feeling ill. Kevin Morton gave his son Kye Backhouse an extremely strong painkiller, a court heard - a mistake which he says he will 'have to try and live with it for the rest of my life'. He could now face jail after pleading guilty to manslaughter over the teenager's death at Preston Crown Court. Tragedy: Kevin Morton, right, has admitted killing his son Kye Backhouse, left, by giving him morphine . 'Happy-go-lucky' Kye was found dead at his home in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria in October last year. A previous court hearing was told that Morton, 49, gave his son a super-strength morphine tablet because he was feeling unwell. But police and ambulance were later called to the flat, where Kye was found dead and Morton was arrested after admitting he had given his son the painkiller. He confessed to his actions in a Facebook post in December, writing: 'I loved my little boy more than anyone in the world. Death: Kye, 23, complained of feeling unwell before his father gave him the strong painkiller . 'I gave him a tablet by mistake that was too strong for him, it's my fault - I have to try and live with it for the rest of my life but it was an accident.' After Kye's death, his family released a statement paying tribute to the schoolboy. 'The family is devastated at the sudden loss of Kye,' they said. 'He was the most amazing and much-loved young man that anybody could wish to meet - he made everyone around him smile every day and even now with him gone, he is remembered with a smile. 'The emptiness Kye has left in all our lives can only be understood by people who knew and loved him. We are so very proud of him and miss him deeply. 'We cannot even begin to express our feeling of loss - we ache to hold you once more. He was a kind and loving son, brother, grandson, cousin and nephew and a friend to many. 'Kye has left a big hole in the family and things will never be the same again.' During the latest court hearing, Morton hung his head as his barrister James Heyworth said his client made 'full and frank admissions' in police interviews. He was released on bail ahead of sentencing in June, but was warned that he is likely to face jail after pre-sentence reports are prepared for the court. Judge Anthony Russell QC told Morton: 'You have pleaded guilty to a very serious offence. 'As you appreciate, the likely outcome of this case is a custodial sentence. But it's important for the court to have as much information about you as possible in order to assess both the nature of the sentence and the length of it.' | Kevin Morton gave Kye Backhouse a strong painkiller when he was ill .

A woman on trial for murder admitted in a recorded interview with police that she had shot two men and fed their bodies to her pigs, the jury heard on Tuesday. Susan Monica, a 66-year-old pig farmer and welder from southern Oregon, went on trial on Tuesday in Medford. She has been charged with killing two handymen living on her 20-acre pig ranch in a small Jackson County community and dismembering the bodies. Accused serial killer Susan Monica interrupts court in Medford, Oregon on Tuesday on the opening day of her trial for allegedly murdering two men, dismembering their bodies and feeding them to her pigs . Susan Monica, pictured left in court in January 2014, and right in an undated mugshot, has been accused of killing Robert Haney and Stephen Delicino a year apart at her pig farm and dismembering their bodies . Both victims were shot in the head and dismembered in what prosecutors allege were separate murders committed more than a year apart. Monica appeared in court dressed in skirt, blouse and short wig. In opening statements, defense lawyer Garren Pedemonte said Monica shot the first victim in self-defense, and the second as a kind of mercy killing. Stephen Frank Delicino, 59, was shot by Monica in self-defense in summer 2012. The defendant has claimed that she shot the second man, 56-year-old Robert Harry Haney, to put him out of his misery because she found her pigs already feeding on him, The Mail Tribune reported. The second killing took place in September 2013. Police searched her pig ranch last year after Monica was discovered using a food stamps card belonging to Haney, and found remains of the two men. Remains of two handymen who had been living on Monica's 20-acre pig ranch (pictured) in Jackson County, Oregon were found in 2014 after she was caught using one victim's food stamps card . | Susan Monica, from southern Oregon, allegedly killed two handymen living on her pig ranch .

The Premier League returns this weekend after the fourth interruption this season for international fixtures, leaving managers hoping their players have returned with a clean bill of health. The break can be both a blessing and a curse, potentially halting your momentum if results and confidence are positive, or halting your slide if all is not well. Premier League sides have already had to resume their season after international breaks in September, October and November 2014. Premier League leaders Chelsea have won all three of their matches following the international break . Everton lead the post-international Premier League table with three wins from three after the break . However six Premier League clubs are still chasing their first win after an international break this season, so who has been the best at managing this transition? Sportsmail examines this through a modified Premier League table that takes in only results immediately after international resumptions. Our alternative table makes nice reading for Toffees fans, with their side winning all three matches and keeping clean sheets against Aston Villa and West Brom. Champions-elect Chelsea are the only side to match this perfect record, though both of these teams have not faced a current top seven team across their post-international fixtures. Southampton and both Manchester clubs are the only other unbeaten sides though United did slip up in drawing 2-2 at home to West Brom. Manchester City have been relatively impressive, drawing 2-2 at the Emirates and most notably dispatching Champions League chasing Tottenham 4-1, who have an indifferent record. Moving further down and Liverpool have a significantly worse record following the international break than in overall form, suffering surprise defeats when visiting Crystal Palace and hosting Aston Villa. Moreover their only win came through an unconvincing 3-2 victory at Queens Park Rangers, secured only through a sensational second-half display by Raheem Sterling. Manchester United will be hoping to follow up their win against Liverpool by beating Aston Villa . Arsenal are awaiting their first Premier League win directly following an international break . Brendan Rodgers (right) will be hoping his side can pile more post-international misery on Arsenal . Saturday . Arsenal vs Liverpool . Everton vs Southampton . Leicester vs West Ham . Manchester United vs Aston Villa . Swansea vs Hull . West Brom vs QPR . Chelsea vs Stoke . Sunday . Burnley vs Tottenham . Sunderland vs Newcastle . Monday . Crystal Palace vs Manchester City . Both the Reds and Arsenal will want to change the vast discrepancies between their current league table positions and their positions in our alternative view, currently sitting in eighth and 13th respectively. The two Champions League sides meet on Saturday lunchtime as Arsenal chase a first win following an international break this season. The Gunners have been fortunate in having three home fixtures but have totally failed to capitalise on this, drawing 2-2 with Hull City and Manchester City, whilst losing 2-1 at the hands of Manchester United. Southampton have handed out two thrashings to sides in the North-East by picking up 8-0 and 4-0 wins over Sunderland and Newcastle respectively. However in this table the Toon still make the top six through narrow 1-0 wins over both QPR and Leicester. The Foxes have a notably improved position whilst keeping clean sheets against Sunderland and Stoke in their three post-international games, despite these being relatively rare across the season. Relegations strugglers QPR have lost all three of their post-international fixtures so far this season . This puts Nigel Pearson’s side comfortably nestled in mid-table, joined their relegation strugglers Burnley. Possibly benefitting from having fewer players occupied on international duty, both join a cluster of teams on four points. Stoke will also be concerned by their poor record, which includes 2-1 and 1-0 defeats when hosting relegation-threatened sides Burnley and Leicester City. Such results across an entire campaign may have seen them struggling to maintain mid-table stability under Mark Hughes. Hull City, Sunderland and West Brom are all winless, though the Black Cats did claim a respectable 2-2 draw at home to Tottenham. Swansea City and QPR are both pointless, though the Swans have had three games including difficult trips to Chelsea and Manchester City. Meanwhile the R’s have hosted Liverpool whilst suffering away defeats with scoring at both Newcastle and Manchester United – Chris Ramsey’s team will hope to change that trend when travelling to West Brom on Saturday. | Everton and Chelsea have perfect records with three wins each .
Southampton, Man City and Man United are the only other unbeaten sides .
Arsenal are still yet to win following an international break this season .
Liverpool are similarly poor with one win and two defeats .
Six clubs are yet to win after an international break, find out who here… . | [

Landslides have exposed trails of dinosaur footprints running along a near-vertical rock face in Bolivia. And although the angle of the prints could suggest the lumbering reptiles were avid mountaineers, Bolivia’s Cal Orcko paleontological site is the result of tectonic activity that forced the earth upwards. The attraction, at Fancesa limestone quarry in Sucre, comprises some 462 trails made up of 5,055 prints - and frequent landslides reveal new ones, some of which belong to unknown species. Boliva’s Cal Orcko paleontological site is the result of tectonic activity, forcing earth upwards and preserving the precious trackways so that dinosaur tracks are seen on a vertical 'wall' (pictured) The wall, which is the largest dinosaur trackway in the world, is approximately 390 feet (120 metres) tall and features tracks made by at least eight species of dinosaurs,The Daily Beast reported. Some of them are more than a metre in length, indicating the size of some of the vast beasts that roamed the area in the upper cretaceous period - a time in which the majority of dinosaurs lived. At first glance, it appears that large dinosaurs such as the Titanosaurs and armoured Ankylosauruses hauled their considerable bulks up the incredibly steep slope, which measures one mile (1.5km). But the imprinted rock was once horizontal before being pushed upwards by tectonic activity. The attraction, at Fancesa limestone quarry in Sucre, Bolivia (left), comprises some 462 trails made up of 5,055 prints (right) – and frequent landslides reveal new ones, some of which belong to unknown species . The wall, which is the largest dinosaur trackway in the world, is approximately 390 feet (120 metres) tall and features tracks made by at least eight species of dinosaurs. Some, like the one pictured, are large . In 2009, fossil hunters came across what are thought to be among the world's largest dinosaur prints. Measuring 5ft (1.5 metres) wide, they were made by long-necked sauropods 150 million years ago and were found in chalky sediment in the Jura plateau of eastern France. It's thought the Late Jurassic dinosaurs were more than 75 ft (23 metres) long and weighed up to 40 tonnes. Palaeontologist Jean-Michel Mazin of France’s National Centre of Scientific Research, said at the time, from the prints, ‘we can calculate their size and speed, find out about their behaviour and learn how they got around.' ‘They were very hard to see because there were a lot of little stones (on the ground), there was grass growing there, and you really had to have a trained eye to notice something,’ Dr Mazin said. The area was not mountainous when the dinosaurs were alive and the region had lots of water and islands, meaning the tracks were preserved by the sea and sediment. This activity thrust a huge slab of earth upwards, which dried into limestone and now resembles a cliff face. However, the site looked very different millions of years ago, when the region was muddy and flat. The dinosaurs left their mark while walking along the shoreline of a large lake. There are layers of prints preserved in the limestone because the marks hardened in dry periods, before being covered in preservative mud, enabling the process to start again. Paleontologist Klaus Schutt also suggested that a huge volcanic eruption threw millions of cubic metres of ash into space 68 million years ago, which gradually covered the prints to protect them, Unesco reported. A decade after the discovery, which was made by miners in the mid 1980s, palaeontologists began to document the prints. Due to the spacing of these prints, experts can use them to reveal clues about the dinosaurs’ gait, build and lifestyle. One set of tracks, for example, revealed two lines of prints with a smaller pair, suggesting a baby walked alongside its parents, while another set, now known as Johnny Walker, was made by a baby T.Rex. When some are removed, or crumble away, more are revealed underneath. While there may be more precious footprints yet to be found, some experts say Cal Orcko, which means ‘lime hill’ in the Quechua tongue, is under threat from human activity. The imprinted rock was pushed upwards by tectonic activity, thrusting a huge slab of earth upwards, which dried into limestone and now resembles a cliff face (pictured) At first glance, it appears that large dinosaurs (such as the one pictured) as well as Titanosaurs and armoured Ankylosauruses, hauled their considerable bulks up the incredibly steep slope . The site, at Fancesa limestone quarry in Sucre (shown on the map) attracts 120,000 tourists every year, which some believe is a threat to the site, as well as a nearby cement works that uses limestone . The dinosaurs left their mark (pictured) while walking along the shoreline of a large lake. Their tracks dried in the hot season and were preserved before more mud and possibly volcanic ash covered and preserved them . The site attracts 120,000 tourists every year, while a nearby cement factory pulls limestone from a local quarry. ‘The cliff has been quite affected by the many years of extracting the raw material,’ Elizabeth Baldivieso, administrator of Cretaceous Park which protects the fossil filed, told AFP. But she has been branded an alarmist. A decade after their discovery, which was made by miners in the mid 1980s, palaeontologists began to document the prints (some of which are shown).

Atten-shun! The three leaders’ wives were on parade yesterday, marching across the country in support of their men, in support of the political party into which they married, in support of desperately important employment issues – keeping their idiot husbands in a job. In the corridors of power, Samantha Cameron, Justine Miliband and Miriam Clegg proved once more that they are the ones who wear the trousers, in more ways than one. Indeed, Samantha and Justine marched out in almost identical uniforms; dark slacks and blazers, paired with crisp shirts and sensible shoes. They looked like a pair of lady pilots from the budget Deficit airline, ready for their long haul flight to or from the land of Austerity, depending on whose husband wins. The only accessory missing were their welfare caps, which they must have left at home. Scroll down for video . In the corridors of power, Samantha Cameron, Justine Miliband (left) and Miriam Clegg (right) proved once more that they are the ones who wear the trousers, in more ways than one . Sam Cam put her best foot forward on the campaign trail in west London. Well, almost. Badge on lapel, leaflets in hand, smart white loafers tripping lightly over the Hounslow flagstones, she looked every inch the groomed and polished loyal Conservative wife. That was until she visited a Sikh family for a cup of tea. Mrs Cameron respectfully took her shoes off before entering the home of local businessman Baljinder Hansraas and before anyone could scream: ‘Holy footcream!’ she unleashed them. Out popped a pair of startling tootsies, displaying what might just have been a hint of a bunion. All across the Home Counties, fragrant Tory women fell into a dead faint. For Sam Cam’s seldom seen feet seemed ever so slightly unkempt, unusual from a woman noted for her effortless elegance. They didn’t even seem very Tory toenails. Shriek – not even a drop of nail polish! I don’t know what the grooming squad will have to say about that, but I doubt it will be very flattering. Sam Cam put her best foot forward on the campaign trail in west London. Well, almost. Badge on lapel, leaflets in hand, smart white loafers tripping lightly over the Hounslow flagstones, she looked every inch the groomed and polished loyal Conservative wife . Perhaps we should not be too harsh. Not many women would come out smelling of roses and peppermint foot lotion if they unexpectedly had to reveal their workaday feet, still slightly steaming from punishing the pavements, to the nation. Yesterday’s shock unveiling of Crinkletoes Cameron was reminiscent of a moment during the last election, when Sarah Brown’s mangled trotters were revealed on a visit to a Hindu temple. The same furore greeted Brown’s podiatric horror story. And the message was the same. Woman goes out in public without painted toenails? The end of civilisation is nigh. Poor Sam Cam. If she had unveiled the perfect trimmed pedicure and three glistening coats of Rouge Noir, she would be accused of being self-indulgent. Wasting money on luxuries or wandering around with battered trotters. She can’t win. But in this election, who can? Justine resolutely wore the exact same outfit she wore last week, sending out a Take Me Serious message that Clothes Don’t Matter. Campaigning in Bradford, she looked like a grim pixie determined to prove to the Milifans that her man was the man. Or something like that. It was left to Miriam to show a bit of wackitude, pulling on a huge smile, a pair of Lib Dem yellow chinos and a nautical Breton top; she looked like Tweety Pie reporting for duty on the good ship Doomed. Miriam dragged her husband Nick along to a cookery lesson at a Wiltshire primary school. Aprons on, they exchanged loving looks as they and the pupils were shown how to make a variety of desserts using apples and blackberries. Soft fruit, fool, pudding and crumble? That is the history of the Lib Dems right there. Just a week to go and the wifely bandwagon rolls on. Their role is to be there, be visible, be bland and say nothing of import. In this carefully manicured – if not pedicured – election, the days of loudmouth Cherie wading in like a docker with gout have long gone. I almost miss them. Today’s wives must smile nicely. Today’s wives must not rock the boat. Today’s wives must wear ordinary high street clothes and nothing that hints at their secret, massive wealth – although Samantha’s two hundred quid spotty blouse must have slipped under Tory central office radar. Above all, however, today’s wives must remember that pulling your socks up is not as important as keeping them on. | All the party leader's wives have been spotted looking stylish in trousers .

The performance of Jimmy Anderson on the last morning of the second Test was one of the greatest I have seen from an England cricketer. He did everything right as a bowler, catcher and fielder. It was Botham-esque. England must be doing something right behind the scenes if one of their players can produce something like that almost out of nothing. Sessions that win matches do not happen purely by chance. When something like that happens it’s very hard to adhere to the old mantra of not getting too up when things go well and not too low when they go badly. England captain Alastair Cook celebrates as he scores the runs to defeat West Indies in the second Test . Cook (left) dives to his left to take a catch at first slip and claim the wicket of Chanderpaul . England must remember that, having won a crucial toss, they had the best conditions against the eighth-ranked side in the world. But this was a win to savour. Anderson may have won it with his extraordinary display but the key to me in England going one-up was the captaincy and batting of Alastair Cook. There were times during the Ashes when it was very clear who was leading Australia on the field but not so obvious who was in charge of England. Arms were being waved everywhere and, if you did not know Cook was the England captain, you would never have guessed it from watching them. Yet now he looks completely in charge of this England team. Whether it is because he has a young team or whether he has simply said, ‘Sod it, I’ve taken a lot of criticism and now I’m going to do it my way,’ I don’t know. But even on the fourth evening when West Indies were only two down and the match looked destined to be a draw Cook was still impressive in the field. He seems to be on top of the big two senior bowlers in Anderson and Stuart Broad, as was made clear in the first Test when he had a little argument over fielding positions with Anderson and very much got his own way. James Anderson (left) celebrates the dismissal of West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels . Cook (left) celebrates with team-mate Gary Ballance (right) during the second test last week . And it makes such a massive difference to the captain if he is scoring runs. Everything becomes clearer and you do not have to fret over your place. OK, Cook hasn’t scored that elusive century yet and the big test will come when he faces the moving ball again but for now his game looks in very good order again and he is making very good half-centuries. You have to say that it suits the way England play to be up against West Indies. England like to sit in, be patient and build pressure on a side. West Indies are perfect for that because they are not coming at England in this series. Cook appears to have learnt from his mistakes. Last summer, for instance, his decision to spread the field when Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews was batting with the tail lost England the Headingley Test but here he kept the field up to Denesh Ramdin in a similar situation and kept the pressure on. Cook (right) kicks the wicket in frustration after being dismissed for 13 runs against the West Indies . The test, of course, will come when Brad Haddin is flailing it to all parts at some point this summer and the wheels are coming off Anderson and Broad. That is when Cook will need to show the same presence and leadership. For now there is a lot for Cook and England to be pleased about, not least the batting of Joe Root and Gary Ballance who are breaking all sorts of records at such a young age. Ballance may not always be easy on the eye but who cares? He gets the job done. There is, of course, still work to be done and there is clearly a concern over Jonathan Trott going into Friday’s third Test. Trott was frenetic again at the start of his second innings, having looked much more like his old self as he spent time at the crease first time round. As I said before the second Test, he needs to be given the whole of this series before England make a decision on him. If he can bring his old calmness to the start of his innings as an opener, England will have a very good player back in the side. But if he continues to be too frenetic in Barbados then England might have to think again at the start of a huge summer when life will get much tougher. | Jimmy Anderson's recent performance in the second Test was one of the greatest I've ever seen from an England cricketer .
However, Alastair Cook's played an even bigger role in England's success .
Cook's battling and captaincy qualities were clear to see throughout .
Elsewhere, England will have a very good player back on their hands if Jonathan Trott can regain his old calmness going into the third test . | [

A tiny oil painting that was kept in an attic for years and thought to be worth just £300 has now sold for more than £120,000 at auction. The oil painting - which measures nine inches by seven - of a Catholic saint was believed to be the work of a 'follower' of 16th century renaissance master El Greco. But the selling price suggests the untitled, undated and unsigned painting may actually have been done by the artist himself. Auctioneer Richard Bromell (pictured) gave the tiny painting an estimated value of about £300 to £400 but it ended up selling for more than £120,000 . It was acquired by the owner's late father in the 1970s for very little. He bought it because he believed it was a depiction of Saint Peter, who shares his name. And it was inherited by his son, who has not been named, who kept it in his loft for the past eight years before deciding to sell it following a clear-out. Auctioneer Richard Bromell, of Charterhouse Auctioneers of Sherborne, Dorset, gave the work an estimated value of between £300 and £400. But after advertising the sale, interest in the work took off. And feverish bidding, final hammer price was £98,000 and came to £120,932 with all the fees added on. Mr Bromell said: 'I rung the client after the sale and just told him it sold for ninety-eight. He asked 'what pounds?' And I told him it was £98,000. 'He said he needed to sit down. When he came down off the ceiling he was very, very pleased. I think if he had been offered £500 for it before the auction he would have snapped your hand off.' The oil painting (right) was believed to have been the work of a follower of 16th century renaissance master El Greco (left) but the selling price suggests it may have been done by the artist himself . Mr Bromell explained it was very difficult to judge the painting. He said: 'We described it as by a follower of El Greco because that is what it looked like and I still think that to be the case. 'It was a very interesting picture and very hard to value. 'If you asked three people the question 'how much is it worth?' you would get three different answers. One reputable gallery stopped bidding at £10,000 because that was how much they were prepared to pay for it. 'Obviously as least two people thought it was worth the money because the bidding just went up and up. 'We must have advertised it well because all the right people attended the sale. On the day of the sale I thought it might go for a few thousand pounds so we were obviously delighted with the outcome. 'People play their cards very close to their chest at these things and the person who bought it came in and was only interested in this item and nothing else.' | Auctioneer gave painting an estimated value of between £300 and £400 .

A cocky teenager wanted for alleged fraud and theft taunted police on their Facebook page for failing to catch him - and got arrested hours later. 18-year-old Ryan Heritage from Wiltshire posted a obnoxious message on Trowbridge police's page, saying: 'Oi yo check if there's a warrant for my arrest, if so good luck!!!' He went out for a night out in his home town where he was spotted by police who chased him on foot before finally grabbing him. The Trowbridge Neighbourhood Policing Team then re-posted his original message and added their own: 'His luck ran out #arrested.' Arrogant: 18-year-old Ryan Heritage posted a cocky message on his local police's Facebook page where he taunted them for failing to catch him . Jokes on you: He was arrested in Trowbridge, Wiltshire just hours after posting the message which read 'Oi yo check if there's a warrant for my arrest, if so good luck' Heritage was thrown in the cells for the night and put before magistrates the following morning where he was charged with theft and burglary - and failing to answer bail on fraud charges. The police posted on Facebook: 'A local male wanted on suspicion of theft, and also wanted on warrant for failing to appear in court has been spotted in town. Following a short foot chase he has been arrested. 'Ryan has been charged with theft, and is going to court in connection with the warrant issued for failing to appear in respect of fraud charges.' Wiltshire police then said: 'There was a warrant out for his arrest because he had failed to appear in court and obviously he thought he was going to be able to escape us so he posted that message. 'When he was arrested in Trowbridge he was found to be in possession of a small amount of cannabis. He was given a caution for that and charged with a number of other offences.' Magistrates bailed Heritage to report to Melksham police on June 4 - and before Justice of the Peace Court in Swindon on May 20 on another theft charge. Caught: Heritage was thrown in the cells for the night and put before magistrates the following morning where he was charged with theft and burglary .

Air crash investigators have recovered more body parts from the site where MH17 fell in eastern Ukraine after the Boeing 777 was shot out of the sky nine months ago. The Dutch-led team this week also found personal possessions including jewellery after the plane was downed by a suspected Russian-made BUK missile, killing all 298 passengers and crew on July 17, 2014. In all, 16 containers of fragments of the Malaysia Airlines plane were filled so far this week. Dutch and Malaysian investigators and local authorities examine debris at the MH17 plane crash site . Chilling: MailOnline's photographer spotted the burned and torn passport of loving wife and mother Mabel Anthonysamy Soosai, 45, one of the 298 slaughtered when MH17 was downed over Ukraine on July 17, 2014. Her family in Kuala Lumpur has given MailOnline permission to publish the picture . The investigators searched for body parts and debris at a location that was previously considered unsafe . The finds came several days after MailOnline revealed how possibly key evidence and personal possessions were left lying in fields so long after a crash which shocked the world. MailOnline also found a charred passport of a Malaysian mother killed in the horror. Relatives of Mabel Anthonysamy Soosai, 45, whose husband and son were also killed, called for urgent action to clear the site, return items to bereaved families and bring those responsible for the carnage to justice. 'It broke my heart to see the picture, her passport still in the debris of the plane,' said her brother Clement, 47, in Kuala Lumpur. 'But thank you so much for finding it and telling us about it.' Also spotted at the site by MailOnline were a bracelet made of beads, a pair of sunglasses, ripped clothing and random pages from guidebooks in a reminder that many of the murdered passengers were heading to Kuala Lumpur on holiday. Investigators have renewed their search for body parts and debris in eastern Ukraine this week . A vehicle carries away debris from the site of the plane crash near the village of Grabove, in self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic . Many small parts from the plane - such as controllers for the in-flight entertainment systems - were visible among MH17's burned remains. Investigators say they were prevented from working properly in the locations where MH17 hit the ground due to fierce fighting between pro-Moscow rebels and Ukrainian military forces. The new finds of human remains were collected this week by the Dutch - working with Malaysian, Australian and Ukrainian colleagues - at a site previously inaccessible to the investigators, it was revealed. Head of the Dutch recovery mission Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg said: 'More remains have been found in both parts of the so-called "burn sites."' Jean Fransman, spokesman for the Dutch Department of Justice, added: 'The mission was again able to recover human remains and personal effects at two sites.' A statement said that 'personal effects were given to the members of the mission by the local population - it was jewellery'. An investigator wheels away parts of debris from the site of the plane crash in eastern Ukraine . Grim: Alongside Mabel's passport, many small parts from the plane - such as controllers for the in-flight entertainment systems - are visible among MH17's charred detritus . Haunting: Personal belongings of victims are still littered around the field - and possibly crucial evidence -because the crash scene hasn't been cleared nine months after the Malaysian Airways flight came down . A local official had told MailOnline how the 'smell of death' hung over the area nine months after the crash . The latest search operation had resumed yesterday after being halted for winter, and centred around the Petropavlivka, some 10 kilometres (6.25 miles) west of Grabove and Granovo where most of the debris fell. A local official had told MailOnline how the 'smell of death' hung over the area nine months after the crash. Officials of the rebel Donetsk People's Republic were also at the site during the search which will last several weeks subject to a ceasefire holding in the region. 'A group of Dutch and Malaysian experts is working in the DPR,' said Aleksey Kostrubitskiy, local emergencies minister. 'Today 10 per cent of the area - two places where fragments had fallen and there was fire - was worked over. 'Sixteen containers of fragments have been loaded. 'Units of the [DPR] emergencies ministry will go there every day and 10 staffers of the emergencies ministry will be involved.' The Dutch-led team was forced to leave the crash site in August amid shooting close to the crash site. Souvenir: A shot glass bought as a reminder of what should have been a jovial trip lies on the ground . A sign indicating the entrance to the site in eastern Ukraine is forbidden is displayed as Dutch and Malaysian investigators search for debris . The debris collected by the investigators will be initially sent to Kharkiv in Ukraine, before being taken to the The Netherlands . A week long recovery operation in November was delayed by fighting between separatists and Ukrainian troops. Representatives of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) have also faced acute problems accessing the crash site to secure key evidence. After a ceasefire was called in February, Dutch experts returned the following month, yet still much debris remains at the site. The debris collected by the investigators will be initially sent to Kharkiv in Ukraine, before being taken to the The Netherlands. Forensic experts in the Dutch city of Hilversum have identified bodies of 296 victims of the crash. Two victims - both from the Netherlands - remain unidentified. The probe team is due to issue its report into the crash later this year. After a ceasefire was called in February, Dutch experts returned the following month, yet still much debris remains at the site . A preliminary report in September, which apportioned no blame, said the plane 'broke up in the air probably as the result of structural damage caused by a large number of high-energy objects that penetrated the aircraft from outside'. Kiev and the West have claimed that separatists or Russian forces, using a BUK surface-to-air missile supplied by Moscow, were responsible for the shooting down of MH17. The Kremlin strongly refutes the charge, and senior Russian sources have claimed that a Ukrainian warplane blasted MH17 out of the sky. 'Now that we are at an advanced stage of the repatriation mission, the (criminal) investigation and prosecution will occupy a more central place,' said Dutch Justice Minister Ard van der Steur this week. Leaks suggest that investigators suspect regular troops rather than rebels were involved in the shooting of a BUK missile, and that these soldiers 'might have changed their identities or even been executed by Russian secret service in order to hide everything'. Moscow also denies it has ever had troops in eastern Ukraine, a claim the West finds implausible. Investigators examine the crash site of the MH17 plane, next to a sign reading 'no entrance' Putin's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accuses the Western media of ignoring sightings by locals of a Ukrainian military aircraft in the vicinity of the stricken flight. Dutch broadcaster RTL reported that shrapnel collected from the crash site and tested by independent international forensic experts, including defence analysts IHS Jane's in London, say it matched the explosive charge of a ground-to-air BUK. Alleged intercepted phone calls between rebels seem to back up the version that the plane was downed by a BUK crew using equipment smuggled in and out from Russia. If this could be proven, it would blow apart the Russian denial of involvement in eastern Ukraine quite apart from its assistance that it had nothing to do with the downing of MH17. But as one source close to investigators said: 'It looks like key evidence and witnesses, namely the BUK missile and its crew, have been hidden deep inside Russia which is in denial over this whole episode. 'Probably the inquiry report will blame the attack on a BUK missile, but seeing anyone face justice over this crash is quite another matter.' The dead from MH17 comprised 192 Dutch citizens (one also had U.S. citizenship), 44 Malaysians, including the 15 crew members, 27 Australians, 12 Indonesians, ten Britons (one also had South African citizenship), four Germans, four Belgians, three Filipinos, one Canadian and one New Zealander. | Investigators have found more body parts from where MH17 fell in Ukraine .

It was a fishing trip with a very big catch – namely the £9 homemade rowing boat in which the two anglers ventured out on to the open sea. Built with discarded scraps from house conversions including loft insulation board and polystyrene, it was glued together with silicone sealant. Amazingly, the 6ft vessel held together long enough for the men to set up their rods and haul in some fish. But they were scuppered when an oar snapped 200 yards off Jaywick, Essex, and they had to call 999. The bungling fishermen who had to be rescued from their DIY boat, who have been named as Aaron Jones, right, and Jamie Toms, left . The DIY boat used by a pair of fisherman, who had to be rescued by a lifeboat crew. The men cobbled it together using insulation boards, scrap plywood, laminate flooring, coat hangers and silicone glue . The anglers had already taken the boat out to sea the day before their rescue without any problems. They got the materials to build the boat for free and spent £9 on silicone glue to hold the boat together . A lifeboat crew arrived to find neither man wearing a lifejacket, and one unable to swim. Despite the experience, one of the men yesterday pledged to return to the water with another homemade boat. Jamie Toms, 27, a self-employed builder, said: ‘I’m already thinking about doing it again but next time I’ll get a little engine instead of oars. ‘The boat itself was solid – it was waterproof. We took it out the day before and we were in it for two or three hours and it floated, no problem. The long and the short of it is that this time one of the oars snapped. They were proper oars but one snapped at the join so we were stranded with only one oar. ‘I only called 999 as I was worried for my mate as he can’t swim. He was panicking and shaking because it was cold, so I was more concerned for his safety than my own. ‘If it was just me out there I would have tried to swim to shore. What’s the worst that could happen? I would have drowned.’ The boat was put together by Mr Toms’s friend Aaron Jones, who scavenged 4in-thick insulation board, polystyrene and scrap wood. The DIY boat during its construction. The pair used scrap wood that they had found and spent just £9 buying silicone adhesive . As well as using scraps of wood, the pair also made a DIY anchor using a 15 metre rope and a lump of scrap iron . After rescuing the men, who were found without lifejackets the RNLI crew had to bring the boat to the shore . After the rescue, Clacton RNLI returned the fishing equipment to the pair before they destroyed the unseaworthy boat . One of the men, named as Jamie Toms, who had to be rescued . Coathanger wire was used to make the rowlocks, the rings on either side of the boat that provide the pivot for the oars. The only outlay was £9 on the sealant to glue and waterproof the craft. Mr Jones, who is also in his 20s, refused to comment yesterday. But Mr Toms added: ‘We’re just two lads who were bored and wanted to make a boat – why not? It’s better than going out and doing drugs and committing crime. 'Obviously I said thanks to the lifeguards and sorry for being a bit of an idiot and going out with no safety gear. ‘I was quite calm as I’d already been in that situation before so I knew what to do. ‘In about 2006 me and a few mates bought a rubber dinghy and got p***** up as we wanted to see how far we could get out before needing to be rescued.’ The pair, from Jaywick, lost their anchor, made from scrap iron, in the rescue. But they did come home with a dogfish, two cod and three crabs. Joff Strutt, of Clacton RNLI, said the lifeboat crew had been stunned by the men’s stupidity. The boat was destroyed. | Two men had made the DIY boat at their home using scrap wood and glue .

Top marks for Saskia, the girlfriend of an Arsenal fan who aced a written exam on all things Gunners to save their relationship and whose mostly correct responses have gone viral. Saskia, 17, whose username is @saskiaisabxlla, posted excerpts of the exam on Monday with the message ‘Boyfriend made me take an @Arsenal exam.’ For Saskia (surname withheld), the stakes were high before she scored 43.5 out of a possible 50 points, or 87 per cent. By the grading system of her boyfriend, who didn’t want to be identified, that constitutes an A. Saskia, 17, aced the 'Arsenal exam' given by her boyfriend with a score of 43.5 out of 50 or 87 per cent . ‘Well done, Saskia. As a result, I will not be dumping you [lucky you],’ he wrote in red pen on the cover of the test along with some feedback. The post has since been retweeted 9,600 times, almost five times for each of her 1,900 or so followers, with widespread congratulations coming from Gunners fans. ‘Could have performed better in Q17,’ a question in which she was asked to explain ‘why Alexis Sanchez is better than Eden Hazard.’ Her responses included ‘Sanchez is buff’ and that ‘he scores a lot of goals’. A derogatory comment about Hazard, the newly crowned PFA Player of the Year, got extra marks. She told Sportsmail: 'After the Arsenal vs Chelsea game the previous Sunday, he told me "I might make make an Arsenal exam for you". At first I thought he was joking but then I thought it would be funny to do it. 'Over the time that we have been together I managed to adopt his interest and learnt a lot about football in the process. So the following day I took it under his watch to make sure I didn't cheat. He marked it based on his own grade boundaries and I did better than he expected. 'I tweeted it the same evening, but we never expected it to get this far. I've had mixed reception but most of it was positive, some even calling him a "legend". He said that our relationship was on the line but he was bluffing and used it as a tool to motivate me. 'A few took it too seriously but at the end of the day it was just something that we did together for fun and was meant to be humorous and lighthearted.' Saskia correctly identified the Arsenal away strip although she didn't recall the score of the 2014 FA Cup final . Club loyalty was an important part of the exam and Saskia knew the score when it came to Sanchez v Hazard . Saskia’s recall of last year’s FA Cup final was also tested, but she mustn’t have been paying attention that day when the Gunners beat Hull 3-2 (not 2-0) and Aaron Ramsey scored the winner (not Olivier Giroud). After correctly identifying a yellow Gunners shirt as the away strip, Saskia was asked to name the entire Arsenal starting XI with their positions for 22 points. She faltered only in calling Mesut Ozil a defender, Danny Welbeck a midfielder instead of a striker (harsh marking) and leaving out Laurent Koscielny altogether. Alexis Sanchez 'is buff,' says Saskia in one answer; although she thought Mesut Ozil was a defender . In her boyfriend’s feedback he advised Saskia to ‘Learn all player positions’ and how she is supposed to feel about North London rivals Tottenham. ‘I salute your boyfriend! And you deserve a medal for being such a sport!’ tweeted Sajan Gupta (@Maverick_3). | Twitter user Saskia, 17, posted 'Arsenal exam' result on social media .

Banned: Joseph Getty was caught driving his Range Rover through Belgrave Square while drunk . A member of the ultra-wealthy Getty family was today banned from driving after being caught behind the wheel of his Range Rover while double the legal drinking limit. Joseph Getty, 26, pleaded guilty to drink-driving and received a 20-month ban as well as a fine of £1,000, which he paid immediately. Westminster Magistrates' Court heard that Getty had 83 microgrammes of alcohol per 100ml of breath when he was stopped while driving through Belgrave Square, near his west London home, two weeks ago. His conviction came just a day after his relative Andrew Getty was found dead at his Hollywood home having suffered a 'traumatic injury to the rectal area'. The court was told that Getty, who is a director of the jewellery company run by his wife Sabine Ghanem, earns £40,000 a year as a financial analyst and was given a £96,000 bonus last year. Prosecutor Kate Shilton told the court Getty was stopped just after 11pm on March 17, and had difficulty walking. 'He was stopped due to the manner of the driving, and officers could smell alcohol on his breath', she said. 'Mr Getty got out of the car and appeared unsteady on his feet. He had to be helped on to the footpath by the officers.' Rebecca Lee, defending, said Getty had made a 'stupid decision' to drive home from an evening celebrating his wedding with friends who lived less than a mile away. 'The friends hadn't been able to come to his wedding, they offered him a glass of wine and he agreed, she said. 'It was at home, a large glass, and maybe the glasses were topped up without close attention being paid to how much exactly was being drunk. 'He just didn't think, it was half a mile to drive home and that's what he did. He wishes he could turn the clock back but he can't.' Socialite: Getty with Princess Beatrice, centre, and his jewellery designer wife Sabine Ghanem, right . The court heard that Getty had previously given up drinking in a bid to lose weight. 'It was pretty unusual on this evening that he had taken alcohol,' Ms Lee said. Magistrate Paul Brookes said: 'Mr Getty, until today you were a man of good character and unfortunately you will lose your good character. 'In your own words it was a very stupid thing to do, but it was more than stupid - it was dangerous.' He was disqualified from driving for 20 months and ordered to pay a fine of £1,000, costs of £85 and a surcharge of £120. Ms Lee told the court: 'He offers his very sincere apologies for driving when he had taken alcohol. 'He very much regrets doing that and understands it was wrong. He recognises he made a serious error in judgement and it is behaviour he does not intend to repeat. 'He is acutely conscious of the effect on his wife and family, he knows they will be very disappointed with him and extremely angry with him for doing something so stupid.' Tragic: Andrew Getty has been found dead at his mansion in Hollywood, naked from the waste down . Ancestors: Joseph Getty is great-grandson of J. Paul Getty, left, and grandson of Sir John Paul Getty, right . Getty is the son of Mark Getty, the founder of leading photographic agency Getty Images, and the grandson of philanthropist Sir John Paul Getty. The Getty dynasty was started by J. Paul Getty, Joseph's great-grandfather, who became the richest man in the world thanks to the Getty Oil Company and went on to set up a number of acclaimed art institutions, despite being a notorious miser. But the super-rich family has been touched by tragedy, most recently when Andrew Getty - son of John Paul's brother Gordon - died after years of drug-taking and hard partying. He was found unconscious in his mansion, naked from the waste down and suffering from a brutal injury to his 'rectal area', according to the authorities. Sir John Paul Getty, who died in 2003, was an Anglophile who became a British citizen and built a replica of The Oval cricket ground at his country estate in Buckinghamshire, Wormsley Park. But he also suffered family tragedy as his second wife Talitha died of a heroin overdose, and his son John Paul Getty III was kidnapped in Rome. The family thought that John Paul III was faking his own kidnapping until his ear was cut off and sent to them. He was left paralysed after a drug overdose led to a stroke, and he died four years ago at the age of 54. | Joseph Getty, 26, drove his Range Rover through Belgravia while drunk .

Tracey Neville would say she has never lived in the shadow of her footballing brothers. She might not have enjoyed their fame or their financial success. At the peak of her career as an England netball player who won bronze medals at the Commonwealth Games and World Cup, she earned just £742 a month. But there has been no shortage of ambition and no lack of personality. She is Phil Neville's twin and I ask her which of them, back on January 21, 1977, emerged first. 'I don't think there was ever any way Philip was coming out before me,' she says in a broad Bury accent enriched by an endearing burst of laughter. Tracey Neville, pictured at Hotel Football in Manchester, is Phil Neville's twin and sister to Gary Neville . Neville gives a team talk to her Manchester Thunder players during a match with Surrey Storm last year . England coach and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville poses with his sister Tracey and her friends . It might explain why it is Tracey who has risen to the rank of national head coach first, taking England's netball team to this summer's World Cup in Australia while her brothers continue to combine coaching and broadcasting. Gary has spent the past three years as assistant to England manager Roy Hodgson. Tracey was parachuted into the top job on an interim basis last month and will select a squad of 12 for the tournament in August. Winning it will be no easy task, even if England are ranked third in the world. They failed to win a medal in last year's Commonwealth Games and poor results in a recent Test series convinced netball chiefs to turn to 38-year-old Neville, who has performed impressively as the boss at Manchester Thunder. How England perform will impact on funding with up to £4million at stake. The pressure is on. She revived an ageing Thunder team with an injection of youth and has secured two Superleague titles in three years. They are top of the league and later this month will contest their Superleague semi-final at the Manchester Arena, with some suggesting there are echoes of a certain local football team. Like Gary and Phil, she was first capped for her country at 19, eventually making 81 international appearances before a knee injury forced her to retire — and she says her personality is probably a mixture of the brothers'. Sportsmail's Chief Sports Reporter, Matt Lawton, interviews Neville over breakfast at Hotel Football . Phil Neville, who now works as pundit with BT Sport and the BBC, takes a selfie with his twin sister . Neville celebrates with her Manchester Thunder team after clinching the Superleague title in April last year . 'I think we're all natural leaders,' she says as she tucks into a cooked breakfast at Hotel Football, which stands next to Old Trafford and counts her brothers and Manchester United's other 'Class of 92' players among its main investors. 'I'd say I'm quite intense, like Gary. He and I would clash quite a lot. Not to the detriment of our relationship. We're very close. But Philip would be the mediator.' So Phil's the nice one? 'I think I am,' she says, chuckling again. 'I'm probably not as intense as Gary and I'm not the mediator that Philip is. I'm somewhere in the middle. I have bits of both personality traits. 'But I can definitely hold my own with the two of them. I'm probably the one who winds Gary up, to be honest. Being a girl I probably know how to push his buttons.' She says she was never dazzled by the success her brothers enjoyed at United or by the fact that Gary's best mate was David Beckham. 'I knew them all when they were earning £29.50 a week in digs,' she says. And she claims never to have been the sister her brothers turned to for fashion or girlfriend advice. 'We never had those kind of conversations,' she says. 'And Gary and clothes? I don't think they are ever in the same conversation really (cue more laughter). Neville, who will manage England at the netball World Cup, believes she is a natural leader like her brothers . Gary Neville (left) leads Wayne Rooney, James Milner and Michael Carrick (L-R) in England training . Neville represents England at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur aged just 21 . 'But we have an awesome dynamic. We obviously all have a competitive edge but not to the detriment of each other. As kids we were like a pack of cubs. We always looked after our own and that's still the case today. We rely on that support system.' Even as kids, her brothers treated her as an equal. 'I was never a girl they put in the field when we played cricket or in goal when we played football,' she says. 'I was always pretty good at all sports and I would give it my all. 'I would have been a good footballer. I loved playing. My mum was the footballer in the family. She played as a striker. That didn't rub off because like Gary and Phil I was a defender. In the end the big decision I had to make was between hockey and netball. I'd made some good friends in netball so that was the option I took.' Understandably, there is what she describes as 'a certain connection' with Phil. 'We probably speak more,' she says. 'Because Gary's so busy I would see more of his family, his kids, than I do him. 'He never talks about himself. He won the award last week (best sports presenter at the RTS Awards) and nobody in the family even knew he was up for it. He wouldn't say he wants to be the next England manager because his focus will be on the job he's doing at the moment. And when I told Gary I'd got this job, it was just a one-word text response. 'Brilliant,' he said. There was more from Philip. 'Unbelievable. So proud.' I think he tweeted something. That's the difference.' Before Australia she will draw on the experience of both brothers. Phil spent a season as assistant coach to David Moyes at Manchester United. Given the opportunity she would also like to pick the brains of Sir Alex Ferguson. Neville would love to have a coffee with Sir Alex Ferguson and pick his brains before the netball World Cup . Phil Neville spent last season on the coaching staff at Manchester United, with 10 months under David Moyes . Neville has worked in hospitality and earned a maths degree in Bristol and sports science degree in Chester . 'If he wouldn't mind having a coffee with me I'd love to do that,' she says. 'But I've got 30 minutes booked in with Gary. 'There are certain challenges in our sport. It's difficult for the girls to be full-time, and often their jobs become more important because there isn't the financial support. 'I had some difficult financial times as a player. I had great support from my family but I had to take different jobs to support myself. 'I worked in hospitality and got into coaching education and I studied too. I got a maths degree in Bristol before studying for a sports science degree in Chester. These days I'm working with girls who are doctors, lawyers, zoologists. 'But I think I'm a better coach than I ever was a player. One of my strengths is the integration of young players and the way I build a team around a certain ethos. I also have a good understanding of the game.' The challenge is nevertheless significant, as Australia and New Zealand are the powerhouses in netball. 'The Sport England target is to get to the final but we've never made a final before,' she says. 'Last year we finished fourth in the Commonwealths. The team didn't perform to their best so it's my job to get them doing that. 'Ideally I'd like to have had longer to prepare. In a perfect world you'd get a four-year cycle. 'Right now the future beyond the World Cup is uncertain. We'll just have to see how it goes. But I had to take this opportunity. I've always had such passion for England.' She's certainly not alone there. lnformation on Manchester Thunder's semi-final at the Manchester Arena is at www.manchesterthunder.com . | Tracey Neville is Phil Neville's twin and sister to Gary Neville .

Tim Cook may have described the Apple Watch as ‘the most personal device we've ever created’ but reports claim the gadget doesn't tolerate some individual’s tattoos. Owners of the coveted watch have found the timepiece's sensors malfunction when worn on tattooed wrists. Dark, vibrant ink seems to cause the watch’s heart rate monitor to lose connection and give inaccurate readings. Scroll down for video . Some owners of the Apple Watch have found that it malfunctions if worn on tattooed wrists (pictured). Some dark, vibrant ink seems to cause the watch’s heart sensor to lose connection and give inaccurate readings . The issue first came to light on Reddit and Twitter where a number of users reported similar issues, such as having to repeatedly enter a password to unlock the phone. This is required every time the device detects it has left a wearer’s wrist. Tests suggest that tattoos in dark and solid colours interfere with the device the most. This is because the heart sensor reads a pulse by measuring light absorption though the skin - a process called photoplethysmography. 'This technology, while difficult to pronounce, is based on a very simple fact: Blood is red because it reflects red light and absorbs green light, Apple wrote on its support page. 'Apple Watch uses green LED lights paired with light‑sensitive photodiodes to detect the amount of blood flowing through your wrist at any given moment. 'When your heart beats, the blood flow in your wrist - and the green light absorption - is greater. Between beats, it’s less. 'By flashing its LED lights hundreds of times per second, Apple Watch can calculate the number of times the heart beats each minute - your heart rate.' It is thought that red and green inks reflect light in a similar way and the sensor can't distinguish between the blood and tattoo. It appears the pigmented ink of some tattoos affects the watch's sensor’s ability to read an individual’s heart rate, which in turn leads the watch to think it has stopped making contact with the skin. Apple has yet to comment on the problem, despite there being speculation that the apparent fault could also stop some people using Apple Pay. Tests conducted by iMore suggest that tattoos in dark and solid colours interfere with the device the most. This is because the heart sensor reads a pulse by measuring light absorption though the skin - a process called photoplethysmography. 'This technology, while difficult to pronounce, is based on a very simple fact: Blood is red because it reflects red light and absorbs green light, Apple writes on its support page. 'Apple Watch uses green LED lights paired with light‑sensitive photodiodes to detect the amount of blood flowing through your wrist at any given moment. 'When your heart beats, the blood flow in your wrist - and the green light absorption - is greater. Between beats, it’s less. 'By flashing its LED lights hundreds of times per second, Apple Watch can calculate the number of times the heart beats each minute - your heart rate. So the problem seems to occur when a wearer has something on their skin that reduces the lights reflectiveness, such as ink under the skin’s surface. It appears that the pigmented ink of some tattoos affects the watch's sensor’s (illustrated) ability to read an individual’s heart rate, which in turn leads the watch to think it’s stopped making contact with skin . Reddit user guine55fan thought his 42mm Sport edition watch had a bad wrist detector sensor beacuse it locked every time the screen went dark and wouldn;r receive notifications. He tried holsing it against his hand, which unlike his wrists and arm, aren't tattooed. 'My hand isn't tattooed and the Watch stayed unlocked,' he wrote. 'Once I put it back on the area that is tattooed with black ink the watch would automatically lock again.' The user has told Apple about the problem who tried to solve the problem, but are also reporting it to their engineers. This doesn’t include natural skin pigmentation. iMore tested the watch’s sensors on tattooed and non-tattooed parts of wrists, as well as elsewhere on the body and found that on non-inked parts, the sensors gave uniformed readings. However, ‘on tattooed sections, sensor readings varied wildly depending on colours and shading,’ Serenity Caldwell reported. She said solid colours in darker inks such as black and red ‘confused’ the sensor the most, causing misreadings of up to 196 beats per minute (BPM), for example. The average heart rate is 72 BPM. Tests on lighter colours such as purple and yellow caused slightly elevated misreadings of 80BPM, compared to 69BPM on the wearer’s non-tattooed wrist, but didn’t interfere with skin contact detection, unlike with darker shades of ink. The team was unable to reproduce problems reported on Twitter of light, but patterned tattoos creating errors, leading them to conclude that the design and type of tattoo makes a difference in how well the watch works. Apple has yet to comment on 'tattoo-gate' but admits on its support page that 'many factors' can affect the performance of the Apple Watch heart rate monitor. 'Skin perfusion is one,' it says. 'A fancy way of describing how much blood flows through your skin, skin perfusion varies significantly from person to person and can also be impacted by the environment. 'If you’re exercising in the cold, for example, the skin perfusion in your wrist may be too low for the heart rate sensor to get a reading.' Apple said that motion is another factor. 'Rhythmic movements, such as running or cycling, give better results compared to irregular movements, like tennis or boxing.' The sapphire glass screen in the Apple Watch has remained scratch-free after being subjected to being rubbed with sandpaper, keyed and even hit with a hammer. The test was carried out by Cardiff-based iPhone repairs specialist iPhoneFixed.co.uk, which used a sapphire screen from a 38mm Apple Watch for its experiment. Two out of the three models of Apple Watches have sapphire glass screens - the Apple Watch and Apple Watch Edition. The glass is made from synthetic sapphire, which is created by applying heat and pressure to aluminium oxide powder, before the crystals are processed to remove impurities. The tiny round disks created are ground into shape, and polished, to become glass. Sapphire glass is said to be twice as tough as normal glass and almost as hard as a diamond. To test the durability of the screen, it was rubbed against a stone wall and then with a coin, before being ‘scratched’ by a key. The video capturing the attempts at destruction, shows no scratches were achieved to the screen. It also withstood being rubbed with abrasive sandpaper at some force and hit by a hammer – albeit not very hard. But most impressive, was the screen’s ability to withstand an electric drill being dragged across its surface, without leaving a mark. The test led iPhoneFixed to claim: ‘Sapphire glass is pretty strong and virtually impossible to scratch’. | Tattooed Apple Watch users reporting problems with its heart rate sensor .

The mother of a missing 15-year-old autistic girl has made a desperate plea for help after her daughter disappeared while out walking a week ago. Teenager Kimberly Greenberg became angry and left her Santa Monica home to calm down about 8.30pm on March 24, but never returned. Her mother Janice Greenberg has now made an urgent appeal for help as the teenager, described as having the mental capacity of an eight-year-old, has gone missing without her cellphone or medication. Kimberly Greenberg, 15, disappeared more than a week ago after going for a walk near her Santa Monica home . The autistic teenager left her home without medication or her cellphone and has not been seen for a week . She told NBC Los Angeles that she adopted Kimberly eight years ago, and the area they lived in was what the teenager considered her 'safe place'. 'It is the worst thing you could ever imagine happening,' she said. 'Absolutely horrific. There's no getting through the day - there's no explaining it. 'I have to keep faith that she's going to come back,' she told KTLA. A LAPD spokesman said Kimberly was last seen wearing a red sweater, jeans and ugg boots when she left home to go for a walk and calm down at the nearby Mar Vista Recreation Centre. Despite knowing the area and walking there often, she has not been seen since. The spokesman said: 'Kimberly is currently taking medication and her family is extremely concerned. She is described as a 15-year-old Hispanic female with brown hair and brown eyes. She stands 4feet, 10inches tall and weights approximately 110pounds.' Anyone with information about her whereabouts should contact the LAPD, Pacific Division Watch Commander at (310) 482-6371. During non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (877-527-3247). Those wishing to remain anonymous can also call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477). | Autistic teenager Kimberly Greenberg went missing more than a week ago .

This is the horrifying moment a 14-year-old Mexican girl was torn away from her family by federal police and sent to live with a Houston woman who mistakenly thought she was her long-lost daughter. Alondra Luna Nunez can be seen screaming and fighting with every ounce of her energy as she is dragged out of her school in front of her mother in Guanajuato in central Mexico last week. She pleaded with the officers, who were working for Interpol, not to take her from her parents. Alondra is now back with her real family after a DNA test proved that she was not the daughter of Houston resident Dorotea Garcia. 'They stole my daughter,' her real mother, Susana Nunez, raged to Milenio Television on Wednesday. 'I didn't know this woman existed.' Taken: Alondra Luna Nunez's case drew international attention after a video of her being forced into a police vehicle last week appeared online . Alondra used every ounce of her energy to fight Mexican federal police officers, who were working for Interpol on the orders of a Texas judge. Garcia says she found Alondra after she traveled to Mexico in search of her daughter who was illegally taken from Texas by her father in 2007 at age four. Garcia convinced authorities that Alondra was her daughter, despite her family's pleas and the fact that they produced a birth certificate, baptismal documents and family photographs of Alondra as a small child. Alondra was torn away from her parents and little brother by police who were acting on the orders of a judge from Texas. She was taken to the neighboring state of Michoacan for a hearing on April 12. A judge there ignored her family's pleas - and the evidence - that Alondra belonged to them and not Garcia from Texas. In the end, the Mexican judge ruled in Garcia's favor based on a car on the bridge of Alondra's nose. Garcia claimed her daughter had a scar above her eyebrow. Back home: Alondra Luna Nunez smiles at a press conference on Wednesday after she was returned to her parents in Guanajuato, Mexico . Alondra is seen with her father, little brother and mother after she was reunited with her family when a DNA test proved she was not the daughter of the Houston woman who claimed her . Dorotea Garcia (pictured) believed that Alondra Nunez was her long-lost daughter Alondra, who was taken to Mexico by her father in 2007 . The girl and Garcia went by bus to Houston, where Alondra later recorded a video, posted to social media, in which she looked calm and happy and told her parents in Mexico not to worry as they waited for results of a DNA test there. 'I'm fine. I see that the United States is nice,' she said, adding, 'I don't understand anything they're saying, because everything is in English.' On Wednesday, after being returned to her parents, Alondra spoke to reporters in her hometown of Guanajuato and said she was happy to be home. She said the video recorded in Houston was intended to assure her parents she was OK, even though she really wasn't. 'She took me from my parents,' Alondra said. 'I didn't know her or Mr. Reynaldo,' she added, referring to the father of Garcia's missing daughter. The Foreign Ministry said Mexican officials were carrying out a court order to send Alondra to Dorotea Garcia, a Houston woman. Garcia claimed the girl was her daughter who had been illegally taken to Mexico by her father . Similarities? Dorotea never stopped looking for her daughter Alondra Diaz Garcia - seen here before she was taken as (right) in a digitally aged picture . A judge ignored her parents' pleas and put Alondra on a bus to Houston, Texas, with Dorotea Garcia last week . It was unclear how the girl came to be identified as Garcia's daughter. In 2007, the Foreign Ministry received a claim stating that Garcia's then 4-year-old daughter, Alondra Diaz Garcia, had been taken by her father from the U.S. and was believed to be in Michoacan. This year, Garcia went to Mexico and said she had found her daughter in Guanajuato, prompting U.S. authorities to seek the help of Interpol in retrieving her. Meanwhile, Alondra Diaz Garcia remains missing. Reynaldo Diaz is suspected of abducting her from Houston in 2007, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. A U.S. felony warrant has been issued for his arrest. Alondra Luna's uncle, Ruben Nunez, said that she returned in good condition and that the family is sure to seek some kind of legal damages. 'In whatever form, they will try to sue whoever is found to be responsible,' Nunez told reporters in the airport in Leon, Mexico, after the girl's arrival. 'It's not right what they did - take the girl just because they could.' | Alondra Luna Nunez's case drew international attention after a video of her being forced into a police vehicle last week appeared online .

From location tagging to unmonitored comments to blatant sexual harassment, a new video streaming app has all the ingredients to become a parent's latest nightmare. Periscope, Twitter's new iPhone app which allows users to broadcast live video and audio online, launched a week ago today and early adapters have already discovered potentially hair-raising issues with the much talked-about technology, which claims on its website that it is 'the closest thing to teleportation'. Despite the initial hype surrounding the launch of the app, which is being touted as a revolutionary new way to share news, there are already a concerning number of users, particularly women, reporting that they have been sexually harassed, or trolled, while using the technology. Streaming revolution: Periscope, an iPhone app that allows users to broadcast live video and audio to the internet, launched last Thursday . Warning: App developer Justin Esgar is warning parents about the app's various 'land mines' and insists that they need to monitor their child's use of it (stock image) Justin Esgar, App Developer of the app Goodnight, told Daily Mail Online that because Periscope 'allows users to share even more of their intimate lives with each other than ever before', there are 'apparent dangers' that users have to consider before accessing it. Emma Barker, sex and relationships editor at Cosmopolitan.com, noted that the app is already crawling with men who are using the anonymity afforded to them by the app's settings in order to sexually harass women - including one of her female friends. She explained that her friend recently tried out the app by sharing a conversation she was having with her female roommate. They were fully clothed, sitting on a couch and casually conversing, yet 'within the first 20 seconds the first comment popped up’, asking for the women to ‘show butt’. While neither of them were speaking in an even remotely sexual manor, the lude comments continued to pour in and included phrases such as: 'Show boobs', 'Age?' and 'I would soooo swipe right on both [sic]!' One particularly creepy user asked: 'Do you get out of the shower to pee?' According to Periscope's community guidelines, the app prohibits 'pornographic or overtly sexual content' as well as 'explicitly graphic content or media that is intended to incite violent, illegal or dangerous activities'. And while a spokesperson for the app told Emma that Periscope has a team dedicated to content review, there doesn't appear to be anything specific being done to prevent sexual commentary and online harassment. The app's policies are, unsurprisingly, similar to Twitter, which is currently testing out a 'quality filter' that monitors and removes threats and offensive language out of users notifications feeds. It's not clear as to whether or not Periscope will be given a similar screening system. But the recent reports of harassment and bullying have sparked concern among parents of many of the children and teenagers who currently have access to the app – raising questions about whether it is truly safe for young people to be using it, given that they could potentially be opening themselves up to all manner of abuse, be it of a violent, or sexual, nature. Another startling revelation about the app, was revealed by Fast Company editor Rose Pastore, who was testing out the app and learned that it had a major privacy flaw. According to Rose, if users neglected to turn off the location sharing feature, their video streams would be accompanied by a 'zoomable' map which allowed others to pinpoint their exact locations down to the intersection. Thankfully, Periscope disabled the zooming feature on the map as a part of its first system update, but the app still enables locations. Special features: The app, which is owned by Twitter, allows users to follow certain people (L) and scroll through a 'Watch' feed of live videos (R) Mr Esgar noted: 'Periscope requires not only your camera and microphone, but access to your location [if you want to broadcast video]. This means not only are you sharing your video, you are letting other users know where you are.' He added: 'That means your children potentially being found by, best case, a disgruntled ex-spouse. The worst case clearly presents even higher levels of danger. You can easily search for users of the app, even if their Tweet streams are privatized.' Periscope does enable users to hide their location once they begin broadcasting - but many users admit they didn't think to disable the feature before starting their video stream. While testing the app, Mr Esgar said he watched Kevin Jonas and his daughter ride bicycles, a German man drinking, comedian Jim Gaffigan getting his hair washed and an office learning about Periscope. 'I don’t know or follow any of these people on Twitter but there it was, all live for me to watch on my train ride home,' he said. And while Periscope has provided guidelines for content, Mr Esgar noted that there doesn't seem to be any 'curation on the app either' - essentially allowing users to show whatever they want. Users can report them, or even block, any people that they do not wish to be able to see their videos, and can also hide any or all chats any time by swiping right, scrolling to the bottom of the list of viewers and selecting 'hide chat'. But by then it may already too late. You can't unsee something you have already seen, especially if you are an impressionable child. 'We’ve all heard stories of people sending nude photos to one another either via text or other social media apps,' Mr Esgar explained. 'Now you can easily stream nude videos. Clearly, this opens a lot of potential land mines for parents to now have to try and control.' One user's labeled his Periscope live stream video: 'I'm brabroadcastingom my hotel room in LA. What could be more exciting than that? Stop by and say hello?' Another touted a live video of a 'Crazy party in London'. And then there is the issue of children and teens falling prey to online bullying. Mr Esgar said that he 'witnessed a tireless stream of anonymous people saying things that would be inappropriate for a younger audience. The dangers of online bullying are huge, and Periscope, while a great app when used responsibly, allows bullying to escalate exponentially.' He said the app should alter its features to include stronger privacy options, the ability to block location services, curation of commentary, as well as the addition of parental controls. 'Periscope’s concept is great - live streaming made easy,' he said, before adding: 'But maybe it’s just too easy?' | The video app launched last Thursday, but early adapters have already discovered potentially hair-raising issues with the technology .

Stephan Lichtsteiner could tell Eden Hazard and Paul Pogba were going to be special after training with them, and the defender has tipped Kingsley Coman to be the next big thing. Lichtsteiner played with Hazard at Lille and currently stars alongside Pogba at Juventus, where he feels he is watching 18-year-old forward Coman being sculpted into a special player. 'Eden was there for my last year at Lille,' Lichtsteiner told the Independent. 'In training you could just see that he was an incredible player, he had something that nobody else had. Stephan Lichtsteiner (left) pictured with Paul Pogba (right) as the pair celebrate a goal for Juventus in 2013 . Pogba celebrates with his team-mates Leonardo Bonucci, Lichtsteiner and Kwadwo Asamoah in 2013 . Lichtsteiner (back row, third from left) with Pogba (back row, far right) and Kingsley Coman (front row, far left) 'It was the same with Pogba. He arrived at a club that was already winning and he worked hard, learning from [Andrea] Pirlo, [Claudio] Marchisio and [Arturo] Vidal.' Asked if he recongises the quality Hazard and Pogba share in any other players, Lichtsteiner said: 'Players like this are not like fish in the sea, but Kingsley Coman has all the attributes to eventually be a very good striker.' Lichtsteiner was part of the Juventus team that won 1-0 in Turin last week against Monaco in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. Only Arturo Vidal's penalty separated the teams that Tuesday night, though Juventus just as importantly avoided conceding an away goal to their French visitors. Lichtsteiner is expected to line up against Monaco on Wednesday night in Monaco as they look to see out the tie and book their place in the semi-finals.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie wasn't looking too presidential Tuesday night when he got into a heated debate with a veteran teacher at a town hall meeting. And now the state's largest teacher's union is calling him out for his 'bullying' behavior. 'He's always taken a very nasty and disrespectful tone with teachers and other individuals who dare to question him at these events,' Steve Wollmer of the NJ Education Association told NJ.com. 'It's the one thing that never seems to change.' Scroll Down for Video . Not being nice: New Jersey Gov Chris Christie (left) is being called a bully for the way he interacted with a teacher (Kathy Mooney, right) at a Tuesday night town hall meeting . That sentiment doesn't ring well with Christie's ambitions to run in the Republican presidential primaries next year. Tuesday night, Christie appeared at Kenilworth Town Hall to take questions from a group of citizens, when Kathy Mooney, a high school English Teacher from Roselle Park, took the microphone. Ms Mooney, who has been a teacher for 27 years, questioned Christie's motivations behind a legal settlement with oil company ExxonMobil which could have contributed drastically to the state's pension plans for teachers. Christie settled the deal for $225million, despite the fact that the state had originally asked for $8.9billion which Mooney described as 'favoring the affluent' and 'kicking state workers under the bus'. 'I know that you could have gotten more money, on the dollar,' Mooney said. 'Do you?' a defensive Christie quickly responded. 'You do know that? Really? You know that?' Mooney started to respond, but not before being cut off by the governor. A good deal? Mooney questioned Christie's decision-making behind a $225million legal settlement. The state originally wanted $8.9billion from the oil company, and Mooney says that would have had a huge impact on pensions for public employees . 'I mean: Do you know that?' Christie continued. 'I wanna know how you know that. Because you're a teacher, and you're standing in front of students every day, conveying to them, facts - things that they need to learn. So I would like to understand your analysis of how you know that in a ten year long, court case, that you have enough detail to know.' Mooney explains that she read about the deal in the newspaper and did not attend the meeting 'to be bullied'. 'You're not being bullied, because you're asking me a question, I'm going to ask you questions back,' Christie says, as he continues to dodge the issue. 'He said, "I'm not bullying you' as he bullied her,"' Wollmer said of the exchange. Perhaps the reason why Wollmer and his union responded sharply to Christie's town hall meeting Tuesday night, is that he blamed the union for their role in the current pension system. 'The fact is your union, over the course of time, has asked for significantly higher benefits - more expensive benefits - that your union knew the state could not afford,' Christie said Tuesday. | The presidential hopeful held a town hall meeting in Kenilworth on Tuesday .
During the meeting, high school English teacher Kathy Mooney got up to ask the governor a question about pensions .
She asked why he didn't seek a higher legal settlement in a case with ExxonMobil that would have contributed to the state's pension system .
Christie responded by repeatedly asking how much Mooney knew about the deal instead of answering her question . | [

A schoolgirl killed herself by walking in front of a train just weeks after her mother was found murdered, it emerged last night. Friends of 16-year-old Rachelle Owen said the teenager ‘just wanted to be with her mum’ Kay Diamond, who was discovered dead in February. Miss Owen died after being struck by a train close to Hoylake Station, Wirral, on Friday night. Police said the death was not being treated as suspicious. Schoolgirl Rachelle Owen, 16, has died after being struck by a train - just two months after her mother Kay Diamond, 44, was allegedly murdered . In a statement, her family said they were suffering a double tragedy following the murder of 44-year-old Miss Diamond whose body was found in a flat in Toxteth, Liverpool, on February 28. A post-mortem examination revealed that she had suffered a severe head injury. A 52-year-old man has been charged with her murder and is awaiting trial. In their statement the family of Miss Owen said: ‘Rachelle was a beautiful, vibrant, loved daughter, granddaughter, sister and niece, who attended Hilbre High School Humanities College. She will be greatly missed forever by all of her family and friends. ‘This is a double tragedy to our family following the recent death and funeral of her mum, Kay Diamond.’ Last night Hilary Diamond, the mother of Miss Diamond, was too upset to comment on the loss of her granddaughter. A vigil was held in Miss Owen’s memory yesterday, with friends lighting a candle at 8pm. Floral bouquets and messages have also been laid close to the station where she died at around 9.40pm on Friday. Tributes have been paid to the schoolgirl after she died at a crossing near Hoylake station on Friday . A tribute site on Facebook described how Miss Owen, of West Kirby, Wirral, has left behind ‘many broken hearts’. It added: ‘We will all miss her beautiful smile.’ Her aunt, Stacey Owen, wrote: ‘Heaven gained the most beautiful angel. Rachelle Owen. Words can’t describe how much we will miss you! Sleep tight.’ Victoria Owen added: ‘Keep thinking it won’t be true and this is a crazy nightmare! ‘So beautiful inside and out, we have all lost a very special person, my gorgeous cousin. ‘Sweet dreams Rachelle Owen, you will be missed by so, so many.’ Molly Connor, a friend, wrote: ‘RIP my gorgeous girl, God only takes the best. Always and forever in my heart Rach, I love you so much sleep tight my angel.’ Heather Price added: ‘So very, very sad. Heartbreaking that she had so much pain.’ Another comment read: ‘She just wanted to be with her mum.’ Anthony Blye, of Toxteth, has been charged with Miss Diamond’s murder and is due to enter a plea at Liverpool Crown Court in June. | Rachelle Owen, 16, has died after being hit by a train at a crossing in Wirral .

The wife of paedophile and former Bega Cheese CEO Maurice Van Ryn has had her letterbox fire-bombed and received several threatening calls, a court has heard. The father of one of Van Ryn's victims has also been seen in her backyard, lawyer Francois Salama told the NSW Supreme Court on Thursday morning. 'She's concerned for her safety,' he told Van Ryn's sentencing hearing. Van Ryn pleaded guilty last year to abusing 10 boys and girls, aged eight to 16, over the previous decade and is due to be sentenced at a later date. Scroll down for video . Louise Van Ryn (left) fears for her safety after her letterbox was firebombed. Her husband Maurice (right) has pleaded guilty to 12 sex offences . The wealthy NSW businessman has pleaded guilty to 12 sex offences, including the most serious charge of persistent sexual abuse of a child . Maurice Van Ryn is now allowed to sell his property to support his wife (left) and pay off legals debts . The wealthy NSW businessman has pleaded guilty to 12 sex offences, including the most serious charge of persistent sexual abuse of a child. His wife Louise was at the court on Thursday and successfully applied to alter a freezing order. Under the order Maurice Van Ryn is not allowed to dispose of a property, superannuation distributions and shares or securities in four companies. It allows him to spend up to $500 a week on living expenses and $25,000 on legal bills. Maurice Van Ryn is now allowed to sell off some of his assets to support his wife and pay off debts. It was varied to permit the sale of the property, on condition that half the net proceeds be paid to the court after debts secured against the house were settled. Under the new order Van Ryn also has to pay his wife Louise, who applied for the variation, up to $5,165 per month, until the property is sold. He also has to give her up to $150,000 so she can repay his debts. Included in that is $25,000 'for her ordinary living expenses', the orders state. Van Ryn, who has previously described the abuse he inflicted as 'a few minutes of stupidity', is undergoing a chemical castration treatment while in custody. He will remain behind bars and will be sentenced on June 17. A young woman who was subjected to years of abuse by Bega Cheese boss Maurice Van Ryn (pictured) has told a court of the severe impact it had on her life . In court on Monday a young woman who was subjected to years of abuse by Bega Cheese boss Maurice Van Ryn has told a court of the severe impact it had on her life. For years she kept what Van Ryn did to her a secret, but when she found out he had been caught she knew she had to break her silence. One of his victims told Sydney's District Court that she is scared for her future relationships, and didn't understand why she had been targeted. 'I am scared for my future relationships,' the young woman said, according to News Corp. 'He has stolen my right to share my body with someone for the first time.' Van Ryn sat calmly in the dock and did not look at the young woman as she told Sydney's District Court on Monday about the impact his abuse has had on her. The young woman, who cannot be named, said when he abused her as a child she didn't know it was wrong. 'I didn't understand why he would do something like this. Does this happen to every kid? Do friends do this to other friends?' she said. 'I didn't know it was against the law.' Van Ryn (left) sat calmly in the dock and did not look at the young woman as she told Sydney's District Court on Monday about the impact his abuse has had on her. The young woman, who cannot be named, said when he abused her as a child she didn't know it was wrong . She said she hadn't spoken up about the abuse until the day she heard he had been caught, and since then had attempted to take her own life. 'I knew I had to say something.' Since then, however, she says she has been scared people will find out. 'I didn't want people to know what happened to me. I don't want people asking questions. She says she wonders when Van Ryn, who is now in custody will be out in the community again, and she worries what he did to her will forever affect how she relates to men. She said she has suffered depression since she was 14 and had been hospitalised for self harm and attempted suicide. The hearing continues.

(CNN)The greater adjutant stork is a majestic bird. Standing about 5 feet tall with an average wingspan of 8 feet, it soars over the Boragaon landfill like a great protector. It knows the residents and shies away from strangers. "They are intelligent birds. Every time I got close to them they would fly away," photographer Timothy Bouldry said. The dirty, wet conditions of the landfill attracted the endangered stork, and the stork attracted Bouldry. Through a series of photos taken within a day, he captures what it's like to live inside one of the largest dumping grounds in India. The Boragaon landfill is located in the city of Guwahati, about 300 miles from Bangladesh near the Bhutanese border. It's 94 acres of mostly fresh waste, surrounded by swamplands. (Other landfills, Bouldry says, contain older, compacted trash.) For the past seven years, Bouldry has traveled the world photographing landfills. He's visited places such as Haiti, Venezuela and Colombia. The greater adjutant stork initially drew Bouldry to Boragaon, but he became connected with the people. About 100 families live inside the Boragaon landfill. Every day, they search the area for treasure -- a tiny scrap of metal, a bit of plastic, maybe a bone. They use large hooks to sort through the garbage, which sometimes reaches two or three stories high. They work in teams, and more than often they are barefoot. "They don't look at the things they're doing as being unsanitary or unhealthy or unsafe," Bouldry said. They collect plastic, metal and wires and sell it by the pound. The families make around $2 per day. Their homes are constructed by recycled materials, with sometimes several families living in one shanty at a time. With no electricity, no running water -- and an overabundance of trash -- they are experts at repurposing. "You might see a refrigerator being used as a closet," he said. Social media .

Some of the children living in Boragaon go to school on scholarship, but most of them work in the landfill to provide for their families. But don't be deceived: The people living here feel anything but destitute. Bouldry uses words such as "love," "hope" and "spirituality" to describe them. "I found that the landfill community is content," Bouldry said. "They are not jaded by modern civilization." Bouldry lives and works inside the La Chureca landfill in Nicaragua, one of the largest landfills in the world. He helps the people living there grow gardens fertilized with compost he makes with organic waste from local smoothie shops. In addition to his photography, he teaches English and yoga classes a few times per week. But why? Bouldry went to art school in Boston. He's no stranger to sophisticated civilization. He said he found humanitarian photo projects to be the most fulfilling, and he became especially intrigued by landfills even though they are "scary, dirty and kind of grotesque." "This is my 'thank you' to the informal recyclers of the world," he said. Timothy Bouldry is a photographer based in New Hampshire.

This is the dramatic moment a brave village watchman fought off a wild leopard armed with only a stick in India. The incident took place in Olani village, four kilometres from Manpur, in central India and was recorded by terrified villagers from the relative safety of hut rooftops. To try and protect his fellow villagers, the fearless ward ran towards the leopard brandishing the weapon. The brave village watchman stands on guard with his stick as the leopard moves towards him . Watched on by a crowd of bystanders, the ward beats the leopard twice on the head as it tries to slash him with its claws . Even though the man sits defenceless on the dusty earth, he continues to fend off the leopard with his stick . After a few terrifying seconds, the leopard - inches away from the man's bare feet - eventually runs off . He managed to strike the big cat on the head twice before it retaliated, dumping the ward to the ground. Astonished bystanders could be heard screaming as the leopard stood at the feet of the seemingly doomed man. Despite being injured on the floor and unable to move, the courageous ward continued to fend off the leopard with his stick and after a few seconds the animal ran off. Mahendra Sharma, a school teacher, said: 'Even the armed forest officials seldom muster courage to fight a beast.' According to local media, the man did not suffer any serious injuries as a result of his death-defying encounter. In last year's Indian elections, rural communities blamed the government for placing them at risk of leopard attacks by failing to provide basic infrastructure such as electrical lighting and street lighting.

Crowds who turned out for the Anzac Day memorial service at Sydney’s Martin Place have been left fuming after the Ivy nightclub played loud dance music during the minute’s silence. A contractor doing a sound check inside the exclusive club is believed to have been responsible for turning the music on. Many of those in the record crowd of 30,000 took to Twitter to express their anger at the club interrupting the minute’s silence on at least five occasions. The club, on George Street in Sydney’s CBD, is close to the Martin Place War Memorial. Father Arron Cutugno said he was 'disgusted' by the choice to play music during the minutes silence . Arron Cutugno, who was taking his young daughter to her first Anzac Day ceremony, described the decision to play music while the minute’s silence was being observed as ‘disgusting’. ‘Really enjoyed the service, everything was great until Ivy decided to start playing music three quarters of the way through the minute of silence,’ he told Channel Nine. ‘I can tell you there were at least a thousand people who looked straight up and were disgusted by it." Others have taken to social media to voice their furore, with a flurry of messages on Twitter taking the restaurant to task over the incident. A spokesperson for Merivale, which runs the Ivy, said the company was 'mortified and deeply upset' by the incident and offered unreserved apologies for the disturbance. 'As a measure of respect, we worked with police to close Ivy at 2am, one and a half hours earlier than normal, to reduce noise and crowding around the venue when people arrived at the dawn service,' the group said. A spokesperson for Merivale, which runs the Ivy, said the company was 'deeply upset' by the incident . Many of those in the record crowd of 30,000 took to Twitter to express their anger at the club . Merivale announced the contractor responsible for the incident was 'immediately terminated this morning' The spokesperson said all Merivale staff and management had left the venue by 4am. However, a third party contractor entered Ivy afterwards and conducted 'unauthorised sound testing' for an event taking place later today. 'He behaved in a terribly insensitive and completely unacceptable, thoughtless way,' the spokesperson said. 'That contractor was immediately terminated this morning.' | Ivy nightclub has come under fire for playing music during Anzac Day service .

Manchester City are coming up against statistically the deadliest striker in the Premier League when they face Crystal Palace on Easter Monday. Glenn Murray has scored a goal on average every 91 minutes this season - giving him a better minutes-per-goal ratio than anyone else in the top flight. Harry Kane and Diego Costa are locked on 19 goals in the race to finish as this season's top scorer but rank fourth and fifth respectively, behind Papiss Cisse and Olivier Giroud. Glenn Murray celebrates scoring from the penalty spot against Stoke City last time out . Harry Kane has scored 19 goals for Tottenham in what has been a breakthrough season for him . Chelsea striker Diego Costa has enjoyed a prolific first season in England after signing from Atletico Madrid . Olivier Giroud has had a fine season despite missing a large chunk of it through injury . In-form Arsenal striker Giroud and Newcastle hitman Cisse have had their seasons interrupted by injury and suspension, while Murray was out on loan at Reading until January. Taking into account only players who have played more than 300 minutes of football, Chelsea have four players in the top 10, including Andre Schurrle, who left for Wolfsburg in January. Costa is expected to miss two weeks of action with a hamstring injury but the minutes-per-goal ratios of Loic Remy and Didier Drogba suggest he won't be too sorely missed - they rank eighth and ninth respectively. Intriguingly, ex-Chelsea veteran Frank Lampard has a marginally better ratio than his Manchester City team-mate Sergio Aguero and ranks sixth on the list. But Murray, who has scored four goals for Palace in 364 minutes this season, betters them all. Murray slides in to score for Crystal Palace against Arsenal at Selhurst Park back in February .

A runner up of Brazil's Miss BumBum competition has branded the contest's winner 'an attention-seeking sl*t' after she posted a photograph of her naked body painted with an image of the Virgin Mary for Easter. Claudia Alende, 21, who came second in last year's beauty pageant, launched a scathing attack on current title-holder Indianara Carvalho, claiming the model had 'revealed who she truly is'. Miss Carvalho, 23, posted the racy picture to her Instagram account on Good Friday - the day the country's 130million Catholics solemnly remembered the crucifixion and death of Christ. Scroll down for video . Racy: Indianara Carvalho posted the picture of her naked body painted with an image of the Virgin Mary on Good Friday . Slammed: Claudia Alende, who came second in the competition, launched a scathing attack on Miss Carvalho . The image, one of a series of nude shots she shared over the Easter weekend, was accompanied with a prayer which including the words: 'Good Friday. Lord, on this day I ask for peace, love, wisdom and strength'. But the paintings - created by Brazilian spray-paint artist Binho over 10 hours - prompted a tirade of disapproval from her followers, many of whom accused the Miss BumBum winner of disrespect and religious sacrilege. Ms Alende, the competition's vice champion, better known as the Brazilian 'Megan Fox', today waded into the furore, claiming she had been left 'shocked and ashamed' by her rival's risqué Easter stunt. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Ms Alende, a Catholic, claimed she had also been asked to do the photoshoot but refused 'out of respect for God and for my family'. She said: 'It was a ridiculous thing to do, I actually feel ashamed for her.' Claudia Alende, 21, who came second in last year's beauty pageant, is known as the Brazilian Megan Fox . Ms Alende, better known as the Brazilian 'Megan Fox', claims she had been left 'shocked and ashamed' by her rival's risqué Easter stunt . Ms Alende said: 'I've always known that the woman is an attention-seeking sl*t, and now she's revealing to everyone else who she truly is' 'Our Lady is a holy figure, and for many the most important figure in their lives,' she added. 'To paint her across your naked body, especially on Good Friday, shows a breathtaking lack of respect and judgement. 'Like most other people, I was shocked when I saw the photos. I was actually embarrassed for her, even though she has no shame herself. 'I think in her head she doesn't care if it makes people talk well or talk badly of her. She just wants people to talk about her. She thinks that any kind of publicity is a good thing. 'I've always known that the woman is an attention-seeking sl*t, and now she's revealing to everyone else who she truly is.' Brazilian beauty: Ms Alende claims Miss Carvalho has 'revealed who she truly is' by posting the naked shots . Ms Alende believes the publicity stunt is already backfiring - and called on Brazilians to boycott her rival . The Miss BumBum runner-up told MailOnline 'It was a ridiculous thing to do, I actually feel ashamed for her' Ms Alende said the current Miss BumBum - who had hymen surgery last year to 'restore' her virginity so she could enjoy her first time again with 'someone special' - never deserved to win the coveted title last November. She said: 'I honestly have no idea how she won. She is too muscly, it means her body is ugly, she certainly doesn't represent the Brazilian woman.' And she believes the publicity stunt is already backfiring - and called on Brazilians to boycott her. 'She has made people see her in a negative way, so many are losing respect for her and interest in her too,' Ms Alende added. 'She is losing her credibility, and will lose work too. 'I think anyone who was shocked by her lack of respect for Christianity and the Virgin Mary should boycott her, including magazines and companies that might have used her image on their pages or to sell their products.' Miss Carvalho had hymen surgery last year to 'restore' her virginity so she could enjoy her first time again with 'someone special' Ms Alende (second from right), a catholic, has branded winner Miss Carvalho (right) 'an attention-seeking sl*t' Miss Carvalho triumphed in Brazil's annual bottom beauty contest last year, which sees 27 women - one from each state - complete to prove their backside is best . Following the publication of the photos at the weekend, many of Miss Carvalho's Instagram followers expressed their outrage. 'Don’t mix God with your ridiculous shame and profanity,' wrote one Instagram user, Eliane Paz Salinas. Another, Cadmo Barrera Lerma ranted: 'You have lost my total respect, at least one in your list of followers.' Janvier Veliz Angulo added: 'This proves that beauty is not everything… you have lost me as one of your fans.' Referring to Miss Carvalho's accompanying prayer, another user fumed: 'I think that to ask for peace and love and protection there is no need to be naked!!!! Please respect things related to God!' Happy Easter: This was another of the raunchy photographs posted on social media by the Miss BumBum winner . Miss Carvalho's lengthy prayer also stated: 'Father, protect my ears from all evils and watch my steps on the path to truth'' The 2014 contest was marred by scandal after it was alleged that Miss Carvalho had bribed the judges with over £70,000 in cash to make sure she won . Christianity is the dominant religion in Brazil, with Roman Catholics accounting for 64 per cent of the population and Protestants making up 22 per cent, according to the latest Census. Miss Carvalho's lengthy prayer also stated: 'Father, protect my ears from all evils and watch my steps on the path to truth. 'May your blessings fill my spirit and my heart, which is so kind and cheerful... Feel your sweet and gentle presence... I am your grace.' The buxom blonde triumphed in Brazil's annual bottom beauty contest last year, which sees 27 women - one from each state - complete to prove their backside is best. Miss BumBum, which began four years ago and has several spin-offs, is an annual institution in its native Brazil, although not always without controversy. The 2014 contest was marred by scandal after it was alleged that Miss Carvalho had bribed the judges with over £70,000 in cash to make sure she won. | Indianara Carvalho posted photo of body painted with image of Virgin Mary .

Premier League clubs are now so wealthy through their TV deals that they can afford to turn down a title sponsorship worth £45million a year. Guinness offered the top flight a huge deal of £135m over three years, a £5m-a-year increase on the payments from Barclays, whose 15-year partnership with the Premier League will finish at the end of next season. But the clubs awash with over £5billion from domestic TV rights alone rejected the bid from Guinness’s parent company Diageo, in part because some teams have conflicting beer deals. THe Premier League has turned down a bid from Guinness to replace Barclays as the title sponsor . Instead the PL want as much as £60m a year from a mega title backer but will also examine a multi-partnership sponsorship model. Such are the TV riches that the smaller clubs in the PL are the ones more anxious about the sponsorship money — the £3m-a-year split doesn’t make much difference to the top of the table. The FA, meanwhile, have failed to find an ‘in association’ FA Cup partner this season prepared to pay £9m a year, although it’s understood Wembley finally have someone at the table after well over a year’s search. The league's mega-rich clubs have demanded a deal in the region of £60m-a-season from 2016 . Sky Sports’ petty refusal to let pundit Thierry Henry present Tony McCoy with the champion jump jockey trophy at his Sandown farewell on Saturday — because it’s on Channel 4 — doesn’t mean that an Arsenal legend will not doing the honours. Another iconic Gunners name has been lined up for the role although Sandown officials want to keep his identity a secret from Arsenal fan McCoy until the ceremony. It’s known that Tony Adams is unavailable while the ‘legendary’ tag surely rules out Ray Parlour, the Romford Pele. Ian Wright, record goalscorer before Henry, would be a good choice. Thierry Henry's (centre) contract with Sky Sports have presented him presenting a trophy to Tony McCoy . Surrey boss Richard Thompson’s elevation to chairman of the England cricket commercial committee will aid the sport’s chronic need for more terrestrial TV coverage. Thompson will push for a free-to-air highlights deal for the domestic T20 Blast this summer which would be vital to grow a tournament that is in the shadow of the IPL and the Australian Big Bash. Gary Neville is not known as a bon viveur. But the Sky pundit was keen enough to meet up with the class of 92 for a birthday party in honour of Nicky Butt’s wife Shelly at a London casino that he left Stamford Bridge last Sunday on the back of a dispatch rider’s motorbike. Gary Neville was desperate to get away from Stamford Bridge to get to Nicky Butt's wife's birthday party . Second chance saloon . The Football League awards — the best football dinner in the calendar by a distance — showed this year there is a way back for some football offenders. Shortlisted for the player in the community honour was Leyton Orient’s Elliot Omozusi, who served 16 months in prison for intimidating a witness in a murder trial. And one of the contenders for goal of the season was Shrewsbury’s Andy Mangan, who was banned for five months for betting on his own team when he played for Bury. Leeds’ banned owner Massimo Cellino has few fans — understandably, considering the constant turmoil at Elland Road. Yet it was the Italian who insisted midfielder Lewis Cook, voted Championship apprentice of the year, was given a first-team chance. Massimo Cellino may not be popular but his decision to force Lewis Cook into the first team paid off . Meanwhile, Leeds put out a statement after the sick-note six ruled themselves out of the match at Charlton, saying that the club ‘stand by internal medical recommendations’. Yet when the Leeds medical staff advised Cellino about the chronic knee condition of AC Milan player Zan Benedicic, he was still signed on loan and played 13 minutes of league football before needing more surgery. Jevans will stay silent . Debbie Jevans, who walked out of her job as CEO of England Rugby 2015 before she was pushed, cut a relaxed figure at the Football League awards dinner. Jevans left her post six months ahead of the World Cup following a breakdown in relationship with the interfering RFU. The chances of Jevans, an independent director of the FL, ever going public with the personal reasons for her exit are remote. | Drinks company offered Premier League £45million-a-year deal .

A German rapper turned Islamic State terrorist has released a propaganda video where he calls on jihadist sleeper cells in Europe to carry out terrorist attacks. Denis Cuspert, 39, dubbed the 'Goebbels of ISIS', sings about planning attacks in Britain, Germany and France, rapping 'We want your blood'. This follows reports that British police have raised security levels ahead of several World War I commemorative events taking place next week. Scroll down for video . Cuspert had been a relatively successful rapper under the name Deso Dogg before trading in his faux-gangster lifestyle to wage jihad on behalf of the Islamic State . In the slick three-minute video Cuspert sings 'in France deeds were done, in Germany the sleepers are waiting. We want your bloo . Anzac Day, which takes place on April 25, honours Australian and New Zealand soldiers who have died in war, originally observed in memory of troops who fought at Gallipoli in 1915. 'We already have protective security plans in place for major Anzac events in the UK but as a sensible precaution all forces have been asked to review security arrangements at related events,' a Scotland Yard spokeman told the Sunday Times. The propaganda production made by the 39-year-old, who now calls himself Abu Talha al-Amani, is filled with horrific footage of prisoners being beheaded and Jordanian pilot Moath al-Kasasbeh being burned alive. In the slick three-minute video, he sings: ‘In France deeds were done, in Germany the sleepers are waiting. We want your blood. ‘Even if you’re in Europe, wage your jihad. Allah will reward you, put an end to the filthy ones. Oh Allah destroy them.’ German rapper turned Islamic State terrorist Denis Cuspert has released a music video threatening his home nation with a Charlie Hebdo-like atrocity . The propaganda video contains staged footage of bombs being assembled and guns being prepped . Pictured is a grab from the video - a news footage clip of Paris attacker Amedy Coulibaly being shot by armed police . The video contains footage of passages from the Koran such as ‘kill the polytheists wherever you find them’ being highlighted, along with images of Western soldiers being treated in hospital and staged footage of bombs being assembled and guns being prepped. The number of Britons who have travelled to Iraq and Syria to join ISIS is twice than what has previously been reported. It is now thought that 1,600 Brits have joined ISIS, foreign intelligence officials told the Sunday Times. 'We believe that 1,600 is a very conservative estimate and we're seeing at least about five people leaving the UK for Syria anbd Iraq every week - and that's not to count the ones we don't know about,' an intelligence official said. According to the newspaper, about 500 have returned to the UK after heading to the Islamic State. News clips from last year’s Paris attacks carried out by Saïd and Chérif Kouachi – who murdered Charlie Hebdo staff members - and Amedy Coulibaly, who gunned down shoppers at a Jewish supermarket, also accompanie the singing. Cuspert had been a relatively successful rapper under the name Deso Dogg before trading in his faux-gangster lifestyle to wage jihad on behalf of the Islamic State. In February it was revealed that the militant - who has starred in several grisly beheading videos for the Islamic State - was being spied on for the FBI by a Syrian woman he thought was his wife. The spy transmitted critical information about the rapper and his ISIS colleagues before escaping to Turkey - where she was arrested and then turned over to the US, according to the German newspaper Bild. The paper said German and American intelligence sources confirmed the existence of the operation, Fox News reports. The unidentified woman fled Syria after her handlers told her it was no longer safe to continue the mission as militants had began to hunt and flush out infiltrators. She is now thought to be in the US. In February it was revealed that the militant - who has starred in several grisly beheading videos for the Islamic State - was being spied on for the FBI by a Syrian woman he thought was his wife . German newspaper Bild believe Cuspert may have been targeted for the operation because of his womanising past. In Germany he fathered three children by three different women, including one who he dumped just before embarking on his career as an ISIS poster boy. Cuspert arrived in Syria in 2013 from a so-called German jihadi colony in Egypt. In February the US added rapper Cuspert to its list of 'global terrorists' - freezing all his assets under US control and prohibiting any transactions with him in the future. The State Department said: 'Cuspert is emblematic of the type of foreign recruit ISIL seeks for its ranks -– individuals who have engaged in criminal activity in their home countries who then travel to Iraq and Syria to commit far worse crimes against the people of those countries.' Last November, Cuspert was compared to Nazi Minister for Propaganda Joseph Goebbels for his ability to appeal to young, disillusioned people in Europe while providing an alternative ideology. He spent several years as a major player in the Berlin hip hop scene under the name 'Deso Dogg' before embracing radical Islam. He has been known to oversee the group's sophisticated media operation and is reportedly using British fighters in an attempt to attract even more of their countrymen to the war-torn region. It is understood he leads a unit of German-speaking ISIS terrorists operating under the name 'The German Brigade of Millatu Ibrahim'. | Denis Cuspert sings 'in Germany the sleepers are waiting' in the video .

Rio Ferdinand believes Louis van Gaal's decision to return Wayne Rooney to his favoured attacking role has led to the Manchester United's upturn in performance levels. Writing in his column in The Sun ahead of the Manchester derby on Sunday, Ferdinand, now at Queens Park Rangers, revealed his belief that Rooney playing as a striker is fundamental to United hitting fifth gear. He praised Van Gaal for moving his captain further up the field after a spell in the centre of the pitch at the start of the year but admitted the return to form and fitness of Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick has also been important. Rio Ferdiand (right) believes that Manchester United are at their strongest with Wayne Rooney in attack . Rooney (right) has helped inspire United to their best displays of the season by leading their attack . Ferdinand praised Van Gaal for moving Rooney further up the pitch, after playing him in midfield . 'Carrick returning has obviously helped but the biggest of the lot is playing Wayne Rooney up front,' Ferdinand wrote. 'Wayne's a goalscorer. He has United's goals record in his sights and the side functions better when he is there. 'The fact is that United need a fit Rooney up front.' United have only lost twice in the Premier League in 2015 but the majority of their eight victories since January were not executed with the conviction in display that Ferdinand regularly produced in the team under Sir Alex Ferguson. That was until they overturned Tottenham 3-0 at Old Trafford in March, following up the emphatic result with a commanding performance at Anfield, where they beat top-four rivals Liverpool 2-1. Ferdinand said that victory reminded him of the team he used to be a part of. 'It's about more than just results,' Ferdinand wrote.

Manchester City wanted Isco when he left Malaga two years ago but he chose Real Madrid over Manuel Pellegrini. It was a tough decision coming after his admission that the coach he had worked with on the Costa del Sol was like a footballing father to him. Judging from comments made after Real’s midweek win over Atletico Madrid, he still harbours some regrets over that decision to not follow the manager who really gave him his big chance. Pellegrini allowed him to star in the Champions League campaign that took Malaga all the way to the quarter-finals, where they felt only refereeing incompetence prevented them reaching the semis. ‘I am not very content, I thought I was playing well,’ was his message to Spanish television on Wednesday night after the win over Atletico. It was strange sentiment to convey with so much positivity around the club after their safe passage to the semi-finals. Spanish midfielder Isco is unhappy with his current role and playing time at Real Madrid . Isco rarely starts for Real Madrid when all of Carlo Ancelotti's main options are fit . He later tweeted: 'If we all stick together we will go further.' The show of solidarity was an attempt to gloss over the gut reaction after the match that revealed his sense of injustice at always being the player who sits out when everyone else is fit. Carlo Ancelotti’s first choice front three is Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema and his preferred midfield is Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and James Rodriguez. Isco is the seventh man in that front six. And if Ancelotti persists with Sergio Ramos in midfield in Modric’s absence, Isco could even sit back on the bench when Bale returns. If Pellegrini stays at City and Isco remains unhappy about how he only fits in at Real Madrid when there are injuries, the Premier League could appear on his horizon again. Isco joined Real Madrid from another La Liga side Malaga in the summer of 2013 . The 23-year-old had a choice of Real Madrid or Manchester City, and chose the Spanish giants . It would be too much to ask him to fill Yaya Toure’s boots. Toure's great strength is the way that huge stride of his takes him up and down the pitch so quickly. Isco is more Smart Car than juggernaut and he tends to scurry more than maraud. He would have to play as City's No 10, he wouldn't be able to drop back into the middle two as Toure can. But at just 23 years of age, he also happens to be the player Vicente del Bosque intends to build his new Spain team around. He’s also the player the Real Madrid supporters adore perhaps more than any other, and he would be on the same wavelength as David Silva, who needs a like-minded player in a City team that has put brawn over brains with recent midfield signings. Isco is one of Spain's new generation and Vicente del Bosque is looking to build the team around him . Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini worked with Isco during their time at Malaga . Isco could still play a big part in what is left of Real Madrid’s season but with the European Championship on the horizon at the end of next season he will not want to have spent the previous campaign on the bench watching Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo, Kroos, Modric, Rodriguez and whoever else Florentino Perez signs this summer. It would be interesting to see his response if he was asked for the second time in his career – do you want to come to Manchester City? | Isco unhappy with his role at Real Madrid .

Matthew Hall, 25, climbed onto the balconies in of his victims in Manchester's fashionable Northern Quarter district and hid . A fantasist prowler who harassed young women, traumatising them after scaling the walls of trendy apartment blocks where they lived, has been banned from the area nearby for five years. Matthew Hall, 25, climbed onto the balconies in of his victims in Manchester's fashionable Northern Quarter district and hid, asking when confronted 'am I scaring you?' and 'you're dead sexy - can I come in?' In one case he walked into his victim's bedroom as she slept in the early hours, making off when she switched the light on and saw him. Hall now risks arrest if he enters the area, where each of his terrified victims lived, at any time in the next five years. Jailing him for two years after he admitted two attempted burglaries and one burglary, Judge Martin Rudland said he had 'deliberately targeted vulnerable women' scaling the walls of buildings 'like a cat burglar of old' in a series of 'highly suspicious offences'. Hall stole nothing from the victims. Making the order prohibiting Hall from 'the area known as the Northern Quarter', bordered by Shudehill, Church Street, Dale Street and Newton Street, Judge Martin Rudland said 'we need to protect the occupants of flats.' In the first offence, on June 16, a teenager, who has been left traumatised by her ordeal, spotted Hall hiding behind a clothes maiden on a balcony of a first floor flat at Silver Jubilee Walk, off Oak Street. When she asked him what he was doing, he sat up and 'appeared scared', telling her: 'Don't phone the police, you don't need to be scared of me. I'm just hiding.' He then lied that police were chasing him, the court heard. The victim led him to the front door but a short time later, having returned to her bedroom, saw him again on the balcony. Hall, of Farnborough Road, Miles Platting, has 45 offences on record for dishonesty, violence and breaches . She angrily approached him and he burst into tears, giving her a false name, before climbing down from the balcony. On June 28 a young woman at Vantage Quay, Brewer Street was watching TV at 3am when Hall climbed onto her ground floor balcony. In a ten minute ordeal he twice engaged her in conversation by banging on the window and claiming to have been chased. He told her a false name and repeatedly asked her, 'am I scaring you?', quizzed her about whether she lived alone, and told her she was 'dead sexy', before asking if he could come in. Balconies of the kind Hall scaled in Manchester's Northern Quarter district when terrorising his victims . He has been banned from the fashionable Northern Quarter district (pictured) for the safety of its residents . Police attended after she called officers from behind a locked door, but twenty minutes after they left she spotted him on another balcony. On July 2, Hall returned to Silver Jubilee Walk and walked into another young woman's home via the balcony. She was woken in the early hours after he walked into her bedroom before fleeing. Hall, of Farnborough Road, Miles Platting, has 45 offences on his record for dishonesty, violence and breaches. | Matthew Hall, 25, from Manchester got off on terrorising female victims .

An Ohio stadium that hosted rock and roll legends and football games for decades after it was built during the Second World War now sits abandoned and in the midst of decay in the northeast corner of the Buckeye State. The Rubber Bowl in Akron, which hosted acts like the Rolling Stones, Ringo Starr, Black Sabbath, Simon & Garfunkel, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Metallica, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead and Aretha Franklin, has been basically unused for more than five years. In addition to serving as a concert venue, the stadium also functioned as the home of the University of Akron's football team, the Zips, for more than 65 years. Scroll down for video .

The Rubber Bowl hosted 310 UA football contests, 19 preseason Cleveland Browns' games, a regular-season NFL game in 1952 and over 1,500 high school games, according to FootballPark.com. It also hosted other events including wrestling, soccer matches and the circus. There were originally hopes the stadium could also hold events like Easter sunrise services, pageants, light operas, musicals, conventions, track meets, bicycle races, midget auto races, softball tournaments, exhibition tennis tournaments, rodeos, Mardi Gras festivals, winter carnivals and ice hockey. The stadium, which can now hold more than 35,000 people, was closed in 2009 when the Zips moved into InfoCision Stadium. It has has sat empty ever since, Cleveland.com reported.

The pictures of how the Rubber Bowl looks now were taken by photographer Seph Lawless, a Cleveland native. He has been traveling and documenting abandoned parts of America for the last several years as part of a project called Autopsy of America. Lawless told Daily Mail Online: 'I've been to a lot of abandoned areas of the country but nothing is more surreal than being inside the larger abandoned structures. 'It's like being in an episode of The Walking Dead. 'It often feels like the world has ended and you're the only person left and somehow I'm ok with that feeling. 'It's almost peaceful. Lawless didn't make it to see the Rolling Stones at the Rubber Bowl in 1972, but he was there 16 years later for the Monsters of Rock Tour featuring Van Halen, Metallica and the Scorpions in 1988. He said: 'I remember going here to see my very first rock and roll concert to watch Metallica perform, which was amazing. 'Hearing live music outdoors in a venue like this was part of the rock and roll experience... the scent of cigarettes and spilled beer. 'When Metallica performed their song Fade to Black, everyone held lighters up. 'It was so intense you could just feel the heat. 'That night people could see the Rubber Bowl from outer space. It was out of this world.' The UA Zips left the stadium in 2009 and moved into InfoCision Stadium. It has been sitting empty and falling into disrepair ever since .

Bill Dunn, vice president of marketing for Team 1 said: 'We are going to put it back where it was, but with all the updated amenities. 'Those photos really show the worst parts of the stadium. 'Most of the damage is cosmetic.' Dunn added that the stadium's structure is still sound and it could be open and running within six to eight months.

It has no bathroom, no mains electricity and the only way to reach it is by boat or a novelty 'Noddy' train. But that hasn't stopped this modest timber shed being put up for sale for £230,000 – making it one of Britain's most expensive beach huts. Measuring just 15ft by 10ft, the remote beach hut on Mudeford Spit in Christchurch, Dorset, is the same price as a five-bedroom house in Herefordshire and more than a detached four-bedroom house in Kingswood, Hull. Owners will also have to shell out between £2,500 and £4,000 a year in ground rent to Christchurch Borough Council for use of the hut which can sleep up to five people. A beach hut (pictured) on desirable Mudeford Spit in Christchurch, Dorset, has gone on the market for £230,000 - the same price as a family home in many parts of Britain . The hut commands spectacular views across Christchurch Bay to the Needles and the Isle of Wight, but the vista is presently blighted by a rubbish skip dumped on the beach . Hut 39 commands spectacular views across the Solent, although the vista is presently blighted by a rubbish skip dumped on the beach for hut owners to use for their over-winter repairs. Despite their hefty price tags, the huts at Mudeford have no mains water or electricity, although this one does have a solar panel for 12v electric lights and power, a fridge and a full-size gas cooker. It has a kitchen, living area, mezzanine sleeping area and a sun terrace with incredible views over Christchurch Bay to the Needles and the Isle of Wight. Owners can only sleep at the huts between March and October, although they can visit any time of year, and they have to share a communal shower block.

Hut 433 on Mudeford Spit (pictured) went on sale for £270,000 in July 2014 - making it the most expensive beach hut in Britain . The hut can sleep ten (at a squash) with a first floor mezzanine, two sofa beds and a pull-out double bed, and it has a small kitchen area and fridge freezer for the £270,000 price-tag . The beach hut's remote location means it can only be reach by boat or a novelty 'Noddy' train, followed by a half-mile hike across the dunes. It boasts a desirable position on the end of a row near the river entrance, meaning there is nothing but open space next to it. The current owner, who doesn't want to be named, is selling the hut privately. Steve Barratt, chairman of the Mudeford Beach Hut Association, said: 'Most huts these days have solar panels to meet lighting and entertainment needs and most have fridges, making the overall living experience better. They are a home from home. 'The main benefit of being in a hut is that even if the weather is changeable and you would not consider visiting the beach from home, being there means that as soon as the rain stops you can open the doors to enjoy the natural beauty of the sandbank. 'In the summer thousands of visitors come to the beaches for the day and as a hut owner you can have the benefit of a busy seaside scene that will evaporate when the visitors leave and by 7pm the beach becomes a quiet, social retreat you can share with your beach friends.' Hut 433 on Mudeford Spit went on sale for £270,000 in July 2014 - making it the most expensive beach hut in Britain. Denisons Estate Agents said the market for beach huts and Mudeford has snowballed over the last few years and many go for more than £200,000. Andy Denison said: 'They do seem to be fetching around the £200,000-mark now and there are rumours of them going higher than that. 'It seems like a lot of money but people are willing to pay that, even though they've still got to rent the land from the council as well. 'It's a beautiful part of the world and has some of the nicest beaches.' A one-bedroom beach hut (pictured) measuring just 23ft by 6ft in Shaldon, Devon, went on sale for £245,000 in November 2012 . The beach hut is the same price as a five-bedroom house in Leominster, Herefordshire (left), and more than a detached four-bedroom house in Kingswood, Hull (right) For the same amount, you could buy this spacious two-bedroom apartment (pictured) in the Turnbull Building, Newcastle city centre . This traditional five-bedroom detached home in Blairgowrie, Perth, is also up for sale for the same amount as the beach hut . | A beach hut on desirable Mudeford Spit in Christchurch, Dorset, has gone on the market for £230,000 .

The NHS handed out 404,500 prescriptions for suncream at a cost of £13million in 2014 and 4.7million prescriptions for indigestion pills costing£29million, damning analysis has found (file image) The NHS is spending millions on prescriptions for suncream and toothpaste, a damning analysis has found. Some patients are even being given hangover tablets and Yakult yogurt drinks. Critics said it was ‘ludicrous’ that such items were being handed out when the NHS was rationing routine treatments. It has prompted concern that patients are abusing the system by demanding prescriptions for household essentials which are cheaply available at their local chemist. The figures came on the day that Britain was ranked only 27th in the world for health and wellness – below Slovenia, Spain and Portugal – and 111th out of 133 countries for obesity. In 2014, the NHS handed out 404,500 prescriptions for suncream at a cost of £13million. Another 4.7million prescriptions for indigestion pills cost £29million, while 1.4million were written out for multi-vitamins, at £4.2million. Other bathroom cabinet items routinely being prescribed by GPs include Calpol, Vaseline, Strepsils and toothpaste, according to the Health and Social Care Information Centre. Roger Goss of Patient Concern said: ‘This is ludicrous. Every week we hear of patients being denied another cancer treatment or refused cataracts while others are being prescribed toothpaste. Whoever is prescribing this or authorising it must have completely lost their mind.’ Doctors admit that some patients abuse the system and arrive at surgeries with shopping lists of toiletries and remedies. But their contract states they must prescribe any medication they think is ‘necessary’, meaning patients can claim that most remedies are needed even if they are cheaply available from a chemist. The NHS is facing a huge black hole in its finances, with chief executive Simon Stevens predicting that by 2020/21, there will be a gap of at least £8billion in its annual budget. Only last month it stopped providing funding for 19 life-extending cancer treatments because there was not enough money to pay for all the patients who needed them. The NHS has also been forced to ration many routine treatments which are considered to be non-urgent, such as hip and knee replacements and cataract operations. Dr Anita Sharma, a senior GP in Oldham, Greater Manchester, said patients come into her surgery every week wanting prescriptions for head lice shampoo, which can be bought for £5 from the chemist. ‘We need to take a different approach to prescribing,’ she said. ‘Primary care must focus on ensuring the use of the right medicine, for the right patient and at the right dose. ‘This does not mean a script for every ill. We certainly cannot afford to waste NHS money [on what] can be bought over the counter.’ Jonathan Isaby, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: ‘The vast majority of hard-pressed families have to pay for their own everyday essentials, and taxpayers will be furious if others are gaming the system. 'We must tighten up the rules on these giveaways and give GPs more flexibility, ensuring that only those who really need them receive them.’ Critics have branded the prescriptions for regular bathroom cabinet items such as Vaseline, Calpol, suncream, toothpaste and multi-vitamins as 'ludicrous' at time of financial crisis for the NHS (file picture) The Mail analysed figures from the HSCIC’s prescription cost analysis, an audit of all drugs handed out on the NHS by GPs, nurses and pharmacists. In England, most patients are charged a fee of £8.20 for each prescription. But certain groups can get them for free, including the under-16s, the over-60s, pregnant women or new mothers and adults on benefits. Some patients eligible for free prescriptions have been swapping tips on how to get them for Calpol and Gaviscon on the MoneySavingExpert and Mumsnet websites. And in 2012, a GP from Glasgow, Scotland, described how patients were coming into his surgery with ‘shopping lists’ of items including nappy rash cream and moisturisers. Dr Richard Vautrey, of the British Medical Association’s GPs committee, said: ‘GPs have a duty to prescribe where there is clinical need. ‘What we don’t want to see is anyone abusing the system. The whole prescribing system needs to be looked at.’ The figures revealed that 1.1billion prescriptions were written in 2014 – more than 2,000 a minute and a rise of 3 per cent compared to the previous year. A spokesman for NHS England said: ‘GPs are responsible for only issuing appropriate prescriptions to their patients, and these figures underline the importance of ensuring that’s what happens everywhere.’ | NHS gave out 404,500 prescriptions for suncream at a cost of £13m in 2014 .

His face has appeared in sandwiches, on tree stumps and even a dog's ear. Now, on the eve of Easter, a shop assistant has spotted the image of Jesus Christ in a hot cross bun. Mother-of-two Lindsey Norman noticed the uncanny resemblance in a six pack of £1 buns she had purchased from her local Sainsbury's in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. Scroll down for video . Mother of two Lindsey Norman spotted the image of Jesus in the hot cross buns she bought from Sainsbury's . She said: 'I saw them and thought "that looks just like a figure of Jesus with a sign of the cross on his shoulder". 'It made me giggle to myself because it's coming up to Easter.' Ms Norman purchased the buns from the store and took them home for dinner that evening. She has since eaten all the buns in the packet. The shop assistant said it made me 'giggle' when she saw the uncanny resemblance with Easter coming up . This is not the first time the Saviour has been spotted in a peculiar sighting. Last week a California couple were shocked by the 'miraculous' appearance of Jesus on their pine dining table. Jaimie Beebe, 37, and her boyfriend Gary Ousdahl, 37, put the table on eBay with a $5,000 (£3,350) price tag - but it has yet to receive any bids. In the same week, hundreds of believers flocked to a hillside in the San Francisco area of Putumayo, Colombia, when a landslide revealed the face of Jesus. Police had to be called in to control the crowds as Christians from across the country descended on the hill to witness the 'miracle'. In January last year, stunned dog owner Rachel Evans, 25, was bathing her mini Yorkshire terrier Dave in the bathroom sink when she spotted the image of Jesus in his ear. And in October, John Cranfield, 24, who lives in Manchester, inserted a slice of wholemeal bread into the toaster and was baffled when it popped out with the face of Jesus Christ. Mr Cranfield, a Catholic, said he was sure it is a message from God, adding: ‘As a strong Christian I believe that this was no mistake, I believe that God himself had sent it to me to prove that he exists and that I should not give up my faith.’ | Lindsey Norman purchased buns from Sainsbury's store in Peterborough .

A Florida man arrested this weekend for pointing a laser at passing cars was later found hiding a bag of marijuana up his rectum, according to police. Jesse Roepcke, 27, from Summerfield, was busted in Ormond Beach Sunday on charges of pointing a laser at a driver or pilot and possession or use of narcotic paraphernalia. While in jail, police discovered that the man had stashed a quantity of pot in his backside. Surprise find: Jesse Roepcke, 27, pictured left and right, was taken to jail Sunday for allegedly pointing a laser at passing cars. As he was been strip-searched, a bag of marijuana fell out of his rectum . Dangerous pastime: Police say Roepcke spent Sunday evening riding around Ormond Beach, Florida, with his fiancee Brandie Tate (pictured) and shining a light in other drivers' faces . Roepcke was then hit with additional charges of possession of marijuana and smuggling contraband into prison. According to an arrest report, officers received a 911 call from a concerned motorist saying that someone shined a laser in her face as she was driving along South Atlantic Avenue, reported The Daytona Beach News Journal. Investigators said the suspect also pointed the laser at other drivers as his fiancee, Brandie Tate, drove him around Ormond Beach Sunday night. When officers tracked down the couple and pulled them over at a stoplight, Mr Roepcke allegedly said that he was just having some fun, and that he didn't know it was illegal to point a laser at people, reported the station WFTV. His 28-year-old fiancee reportedly said to the arresting officers that she had warned Roepcke not to shine the laser in people's faces. Police also seized a ‘smoking device’ from the pair's car, which reeked of pot. It later tested positive for cannabis. Ms Tate told officers she had warned Roepcke not to play with the laser on the road . Fun-loving guy: The 27-year-old told police he was just having fun with the laser and did not know it was illegal . The 27-year-old Mr Roepcke was hauled off to Volusia County Jail, where during a strip search he was ordered to cough, causing an 18-gram bag of marijuana to fall out of his rectum, the report stated, according to MyFox Orlando. Roepcke was ordered held in jail on $4,250 bail. Online records indicate that the 27-year-old had served six years in prison for an armed burglary and grand theft. | Jesse Roepcke, 27, charged with pointing a laser at a driver or pilot and possession or use of narcotic paraphernalia .

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has told striker Danny Ings to keep on smiling - and the goals will return. The relegation-battling Clarets have struggled for goals in recent weeks, despite some gritty performances, scoring just once in six games. The hotly-rated Ings, whose future beyond the end of the season has been the subject of considerable speculation, has not found the net in seven appearances. Danny Ings has found goals hard to come by in recent weeks as he looks to try and fire Burnley to safety . Dyche hopes the barren spell is not weighing too heavily on the 23-year-old's mind and has urged him to focus on enjoying his game. Dyche said: 'He's a bright young lad. He's a very good player and a good young lad who is grounded. 'But you can't actually get inside someone. When that whistle blows it's down to them to remind themselves of that freedom I speak about. I want players to play that way. 'His biggest thing is he puts a lot of demand on himself - and that can be a weakness as well as a strength. It's good that he has a thirst to improve, as do a lot of the players. But it has to be balanced with that enjoyment. Sean Dyche is confident that if Ings starts to enjoy playing more, then the goals will flow for the striker . 'I often say to him, play with a smile and I've told him he's best when he does. We're looking to him to continue doing that.' Burnley's battling performances have earned plaudits and despite the lack of goals, they have collected five points from a tough run of eight games. Amid that run they have beaten Manchester City and taken points off Chelsea and Tottenham. They are in the bottom three but just two points from safety and Dyche is backing his forwards to come good again. He said: 'There's certainly not pressure (on the strikers) from me. We ventured down this road early season when the goals didn't come as freely then we had a good patch over the Christmas period. 'We have scored goals and been productive in front of goal. It's about reminding the players what it takes to do that, different ways of doing that and how we can affect games.' The 23-year-old has had an impressive season nonetheless, scoring nine goals in his debut top-flight year . Ashley Barnes (right) says he's forgotten about the Nemanja Matic incident and moved on . Striker Ashley Barnes insists confidence remains high among the group. Barnes said: 'We are in this together. We are striving for one thing - to stay in this league come the end of the season. That is the main aim. 'The positivity around the group and the staff remains the same and hopefully will continue.' Barnes has found himself in the spotlight of late following his controversial tackle on Chelsea's Nemanja Matic. The 25-year-old escaped punishment but Matic was sent off for his reaction to the challenge in a heated confrontation. Barnes says that incident is now behind him. 'It has gone,' he said. 'I moved on a while back. I am just concentrating on staying in this league.' | Sean Dyche says Danny Ings needs to smile and the goals will come .
The 23-year-old, who is heavily linked with Manchester United, hasn't found the net in seven appearances for the Premier League strugglers .
Dyche believes it's only a matter of time before he does break his duck .

The couple that models designer clothes together stays together — or at least that's what one New York-based duo hope, having just inked a deal as the first openly gay couple with Fusion Models. John Tuite, 22, and Carlos Santolalla, 25, go by the Brangelina-like portmanteau Jarlos, and have already earned a following in the modeling world and on New York City's party scene. But while the male model It Couple have starred in a campaign together for DKNY and posed for big brands like Edun and DSquared2, they say it hasn't always been easy for them to work in the industry and be true to themselves. Model couple: Carlos Santolalla, 25, left, and John Tuite, 22, right, are the first openly gay couple to be signed together to a modeling agency . Though the fashion industry seems very accepting of gay people, the couple explains that models are still expected to appear masculine or androgynous. Both John and Carlos had to drop their old agencies after they were told to act straight and delete the Instagram account they share, where they often post loving images of themselves kissing and hugging. 'After coming out, I didn’t want to be weird about it again and act straight at castings,' John told The Cut in December. 'The weird thing about models — something that nobody really realizes — is that they’re all straight,' Carlos recently told Out magazine. Growing fan base: On Instagram, the couple goes by the joint nickname Jarlos, and they have over 22,500 followers . Facing obstacles: John and Carlos were told by their previous modeling agencies to act more 'butch' and delete their joint Instagram account, where they often pose kissing and holding hands . 'There is an unspoken rule of modeling, at least in NYC — even if you get signed as an out model — the first thing any agent tells you to do is to dress butch and talk about girls so no one "finds out",' John added. In fact, when the couple first got together over three years after meeting at a casting call, it was because Carlos became interested in John when he realized he might be gay — which he says was unusual. Soon the pair became well-known on the New York City party scene, getting snapped with celebrities like model Gigi Hadid and Paris Hilton, DJing at trendy clubs, and even curating art shows. 'We used to sneak into parties we weren’t invited to at all and try to take pictures of famous people,' John said. 'Now we’re invited and covering it and DJing.' Looking good: The couple explained that though the modeling industry is filled with well-groomed, well-dressed men, most male models are straight . Party hard: Jarlos is well known on the New York party circuit and has been pictured with Gigi Hadid, Paris Hilton, and Harry Styles . The fact that the pair has become so widely known as a couple made them even more appealing to Fusion Models. 'We signed them as a duo because they are both models and they DJ as a duo, under the name Jarlos,' Fusion's Alexandra Phipps told Dazed. 'They’ve made a name for themselves as a team, so we decided to run with it.' As for John and Carlos, they are as excited to be making strides for gay models as they are to have signed this new deal. 'Finally being represented as an openly gay man, let alone a couple, is a huge milestone for the industry, and the whole gay community,' John said. 'We hope that this will send a message to younger generations that it's possible to succeed without compromising who you are.' | John Tuite, 22, and Carlos Santolalla, 25, share an Instagram account that their old agencies pressured them to delete .

Kevin Carr is set to complete his epic 16,300 round-the-world trip tomorrow in Devon after 19 months . A British barman is set to enter the record books after running 16,300 miles around the globe over 621 days while wearing out 16 pairs of shoes. Kevin Carr set off from Haytor on Dartmoor in July 2013 and every day since then he has completed on average one and a quarter marathons a day. Now, after covering an estimated 36,000,000 steps over the past 19 months he is just 24 hours from returning to his starting point. And in the process, he will become the fastest man to ever run around the world. The 35-year-old from Woolacombe in Devon is currently in his home county and is due to complete his 16,300-mile epic journey on Thursday. If he is successful, Mr Carr will beat the current record held by Australian ultramarathon runner Tom Denniss, by 24 hours. Mr Denniss completed his run in 2013. Mr Carr's effort is the first unsupported trip around the world, having relied on the generosity of people he has met on his journey. At the start of March, Mr Carr was seven days behind schedule, but he managed to increase his daily run to 44 miles and is now a day ahead of schedule. During his run, Mr Carr has travelled though 26 countries, across Europe, Australia, New Zealand and North and South America. For most of his journey, Mr Carr pushed his tent in front of him in a giant buggy although he was able to ditch that back in Ireland. Mr Carr embarked on his epic journey to raise money for the mental health charity Sane because he has suffered from depression. His goal, as well as raising cash, is to prove that because someone my be sometimes ill, they do not have 'a weak mind'. He told The Independent: 'I have always wanted to see how far I can go. What's the limit to our endurance? I simply want to hold the record as the fastest man around the world. It's the purest test of endurance, the natural limit of planet Earth. 'You simply cannot go further on our world, unless you begin running laps.' Mr Carr ran through Europe, before flying to India and then onto Australia and New Zealand. He then went to Canada and the United States, before crossing Chile and Argentina. Finally he flew into the west coast of Ireland before arriving back in Devon. Mr Carr, pictured, has crossed five continents epic journey, starting in Haytor, on Dartmoor in Devon . During his journey, Mr Carr pushed a cart containing all his belongings including his tent . Mr Carr, pictured, is just hours away from completing his trip in a record time beating the previous holder . He said: 'I've pushed my tired legs through most of Europe, India, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US. "I'have encountered some pretty scary things along the way, from packs of wild dogs in Romania to the most extreme weather conditions imaginable. 'Most frightening of all, however, was coming face-to-face with bears in Canada. 'One of the bears stalked and then actively came for me. 'I used the bear bangers that someone had given me and, after three misfires, thankfully my fourth attempt sent the bear packing. 'I've had to endure a lot of suffering too. I had severe heatstroke in India and have twice been hit by cars.' During his trip, Mr Carr, pictured, has been chased by wild dogs and come face-to-face with bears . Mr Carr, pictured, is expected to complete his journey tomorrow - beating the previous record by 24 hours . | Kevin Carr set off on his epic journey from Haytor, Dartmoor in July 2013 .

Kathmandu, Nepal (CNN)The death toll from the devastating earthquake that struck Nepal two days ago surged past 3,000 on Monday, a government official said. The desperate search for survivors from the country's worst natural disaster in more than 80 years continued. The number of people confirmed dead in Nepal stands at 3,218, said Nepalese Ministry of Home Affairs spokesman Laxmi Dhakal. India has reported 56 deaths, and China another 20. The death toll is expected to climb further as officials get information from the rugged countryside that makes up most of Nepal. As day broke Monday, Nepal was still in survival mode after suffering a series of aftershocks following the huge initial quake on Saturday. The damage was everywhere. Stunned residents wandered the streets of Kathmandu, the capital city of roughly 3 million people that's now the focus of international disaster relief efforts. People dug through piles of debris where their homes once stood, seeking pieces of their former lives and, possibly, family members. Many of the injured were treated outside overflowing hospitals, where crowds of people gathered looking for relatives. Dhakal, the government spokesman, said Monday 6,525 people were reported to have been injured. One video aired on Nepal State Television captured a rare bright moment amid the death and devastation. It shows uniformed officers digging though rubble, desperately trying to free a man who is hurt but alive. Rescuers lift him up, and cheers of joy erupt from the crowd. The clip shows him being put on a stretcher and carried to safety. But often, searchers have found bodies rather than survivors. And the odds of saving the living decrease as the crucial first 72 hours tick by. The earthquake and its aftershocks have turned one of the world's most scenic regions into a panorama of devastation. "The journey towards my family home in Sitapaila was a map of quake destruction, with many houses -- old and new -- torn apart," wrote freelance journalist Sunir Pandey. "A high wall surrounding a monastery had collapsed and the nuns had run to a nearby field," he wrote. "A mud-and-brick cottage had fallen on a blue motorbike but no trace could be found of its rider. Everywhere, survivors gathered wherever they could find open space -- fields, private compounds, empty roadside lots." At night, many Nepalis slept in the open, shivering in the frigid air of the Himalayan Mountains but at least safe from falling debris. "The entire city was under darkness," Christina Berry of England wrote for CNN affiliate IBN from Kathmandu. "There was not a single light anywhere. The power supply had been cut off. Our caring hotel manager gave us some food and some candles, too. Me and Alexandra were so scared. We slept in the open verandah of the hotel fearing more quakes in the night." Read earthquake stories from social media . CNN producer Ingrid Formanek, who arrived Sunday night, said Kathmandu "looks like a city where buildings have been abandoned. People are hanging out in public squares and at intersections to avoid rubble from buildings." "We were able to drive the main road to the hotel we're staying at, but they're not allowing anyone inside because of the aftershocks. The guests are in a big tent used for functions on the lawn. People are squeezed in. There are probably about 100 people in there," Formanek said. "The tents are covered, but water is seeping in from streets puddled with water, especially around the edges of the tent." Residents of Kathmandu are banding together to get by, with stores shuttered and very few sources of food and drinkable water. "Communal kitchens have been set up for cooking," Formanek said. "Not by the government -- people set them up on their own." Many of the city's centuries-old buildings, which had stood stalwart for generations and provided a sense of national pride, have been toppled. Dozens of bodies were pulled from Dharahara, the historic nine-story tower that came crashing down during the quake. A backhoe chipped away at the nub left protruding through its crumbled ruins. When it seemed as if things couldn't get worse, a powerful aftershock jolted Nepal on Sunday, sending people screaming into the streets and causing new injuries for already traumatized residents. Climbers said it set off fresh avalanches on Mount Everest, where at least 17 people were reported to have been killed on Saturday. The magnitude of the new quake Sunday was initially estimated at 6.7 by the U.S. Geological Survey, considerably weaker than the magnitude-7.8 of the devastating one of a day earlier. Four Americans were confirmed to be among the dead. Google executive Dan Fredinburg was one of them. According to an Instagram post by his sister on his account, an avalanche killed Fredinburg on Mount Everest. Marisa Eve Girawong, who went by her middle name, of New Jersey also was killed by an avalanche on Everest. The physician's assistant was working as an Everest base camp doctor for Seattle-based Madison Mountaineering, when she was swept away to her death. Tom Taplin, a filmmaker from Santa Monica, California, was making a documentary on Everest climbers, when wind stirred by the avalanche caused him to take a fall, CNN affiliate KABC reported. Looking for missing loved ones in Nepal? CNN iReport wants to help . The mountains that define Nepal make it difficult to deliver relief, though international efforts are in full swing. Aftershocks are also complicating operations. A team of 260 emergency responders was about an hour away from departure at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport when an aftershock in Kathmandu delayed its departure. The U.S. Agency for International Development's Disaster Response Team, made up of 54 urban search and rescue specialists from Fairfax County, Virginia, and six K-9s, headed to Nepal on Sunday on a C-17 military transport plane. The dogs are trained to find signs of life in rubble after a disaster. But the trip was expected to take about 24 hours, reducing the precious hours left in which survivors are likely to be found.

A man strangled his friend to death in a rage after the friend admitted that he had been molesting young girls and thought 'one of them was starting to like it,' a jury heard this week. Robert Mccombs told a court in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Wednesday that Steven Carl Day admitted to him and his roommate Roger Musick that he molested a young relative and that he was molesting other young girls. 'Day said he thought one of the girls was starting to like it,' Mccombs testified. Witnessed the confession: Robert Mccombs (left) said that when Steven Carl Day admitted to him and his roommate Roger Musick (right) that he was a child molester, Musick strangled him to death . Shocking revelation: Steven Carl Day was allegedly murdered on December 18, 2013 after he told two friends that he molested young girls and that he thought, 'one of them was starting to like it' Day met up with Musick and Mccombs at a bar on December 18 to have drinks for Mccombs' birthday and that's where the shocking confession allegedly took place. 'My jaw just dropped that he would just admit it, blurt it out like that. I looked over at Roger and he was just as shocked as I was.' Musick, 39, mouthed the words 'I want to kill him,' Mccombs told the court. Mccombs told the court that the next thing he knew, Mccombs was attacking Day. Mccombs describes seeing Musick holding Day in a choke hold on the floor. 'When I saw him in the choke-hold, his arms were down, his eyes were bulging. He wasn't moving,' Mccombs told the court. The Detroit Free Press reports that the roommates put Day's dead body into the back of Mccombs' van and headed north where they found a ridge to drop the body. Addiction: After the murder in 2013, friends of Day said he was an Army veteran who had struggled in recent years while battling an alcohol addiction . Mccombs said that the two had breakfast before parting ways. Musick went to work and Mccombs went to their home to get rid of Day's belongings. He claims that he put Day's backpack and coat in a trash can at a nearby shopping center and then rode Day's bike to an abandoned car wash near the home. When detectives found Day's hat and cell phone in Mccomb's van, both he and Musick were charged with murder. Days later the charges were dropped but they were both later arrested and charged with tampering with evidence. Open container: This mug shot of Steven Carl Day, who described by friends as an alcoholic, was taken in 2011 after he was charged with consuming alcohol in public . Mccomb's was released from jail in Early March after more than a year behind bars for the 'tampering with evidence' charge. Musick was also about to be released but police later found there was enough evidence to charge him with Day's murder. Musick was returned to the Kent County Jail without bond. Kent County Sheriff's Detective Martin Albert said he found evidence at Day's home after the 2013 murder that suggested he he had admitted to molesting a five-year-old relative, 35 years ago. At the time of his death, Day had never been charged or prosecuted for any molestation crime. Though, Day was taking part in the Salvation Army's 12-step 'Turning Point' program during which Day confessed in a letter to the molestation. The program is intended to help participants confront their demons, particularly with addictions. Detective Albert testified after the murder that Day's sister was helping with the murder investigation and told him her brother had admitted the molestation of a five-year-old relative about 35 years ago. A detective who analyzed the cell phones of both Mr Musick and Mr McCombs told Michigan's M LIve text messages had been sent between the two the day the body was found. McCombs allegedly wrote: 'You OK? The world is a better place today and one little girl can sleep tonight because her monster is gone.' Musick allegedly replied: 'True'. | Steven Carl Day's confession over drinks that he molested young girls led to his murder, Robert Mccombs, the roommate of the alleged murder testified .
Mccombs said that when Day confessed to he and his former roommate Roger Musick that Musick said he wanted to kill Day .
Mccombs claims that Musick strangled Day to death and that the two of him dumped his body and then hid the evidence .
Mccombs was released from prison in early March for tampering with evidence in Day's death but Musick will stand trial for Day's murder . | [

I spoke to Carl Froch for an hour this week and we have talked long and hard about what he is going to do next. Needless to say, we were disappointed to see Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr lose at the weekend against Andrzej Fonfara. It wasn’t a result we were expecting and it also blows away the chance of Froch and Chavez fighting in Las Vegas – a fight Carl wanted. Now we turn to three big fights in the next two months to see what Carl does next. I have held talks with Gennady Golovkin’s manager and there is also the possibility of Bernard Hopkins, but there are three fights coming up where the winner could work for Carl. Carl Froch (left) has not fought since beating George Groves at Wembley last May . Froch has kept in shape and weighs 12st 7lbs - despite being away from the ring for nearly a year now . Froch had hoped to meet Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, but he lost to Andrzej Fonfara last week . There is the possibility of Paul Smith-Andre Ward in the pipeline, Anthony Dirrell versus Badou Jack for the WBC world title and Andre Dirrell’s IBF world title fight against James DeGale, which is the biggest bout of this trio. Anthony Dirrell’s people have already been in touch with me about a Froch fight in the event that he wins, but I wonder if it is big enough. A fight against DeGale still feels to me like the most probable, if he comes through against Dirrell on May 23. That is a huge fight, a proper 50-50, but I fully believe he can do it. For me, from talking to Carl, I think he needs to fight again in 2015 if he is to ever return. If doesn’t come back this year, I don’t think he will. He has been a year out of the ring so let’s see. I know he is going to have an eagle eye on all these fights. The possibility of him retiring is very high but he is still training hard. He is walking around at 12st 7lbs and in the gym four to five days a week. The guy has the hunger but it has to be for the right fight and the right money. My belief is still that it might be DeGale. DeGale has looked sensational in camp and is improving at a brilliant rate – if he wins the title over in the US he will be in a great position. I mentioned Golovkin before. When I was on the phone to Carl he spent 20 minutes talking about the guy. He is a fighter that absolutely fascinates him; it’s a fight that would get everyone talking. I am looking at it. It would have to be at 168lbs and it would be special. I wouldn’t want to be the one to find out how Golovkin punches at the weight but Carl has a sick mind like that. I’m not going to rule that one out. James DeGale (right) has now emerged as the most likely next opponent for Froch on his return . Another option for Froch could be a rematch with Ward, should the American beat Paul Smith . After a disappointing couple of weeks it seems that my hopes to stage Carl Frampton-Scott Quigg this summer are dead in the water. We received no offers from their side and made three of our own – we offered a 50-50 split, a 60-40 in favour of the winner and also a £1.5m guarantee to Frampton. I sent that last offer in writing to them and had no response. You ask yourself who is making these decisions? It is life-changing money for Frampton that has been offered. Let’s hope they don’t spend the rest of their lives kicking themselves. Scott will move on and fight on July 18. I can guarantee that in his next fight he will fight a tougher opponent than Frampton will. Scott Quigg (right, in action against Hidenori Othake) will fight on July 18 against an unnamed opponent . Carl Frampton's team failed to make an offer to fight Quigg, according to his promoter Hearn . Hearn went live on Sky Sports to offer Frampton and his team £1.5m to fight Quigg . Anthony Joshua has been added to my May 9 show in Birmingham, where he will fight Rafael Zumbano Love, the South American champion. He is 6ft 4ins and this will be a good test for Anthony against a big man before he then has his 02 fight against Kevin Johnson on May 30. We are keeping him busy, which is what he wants. I saw him in the gym this week and he is looking awesome. After the Johnson fight he will be out again on July 18 in Manchester and then in September in a big fight. Watch this space. Anthony Joshua (left) beat Jason Gavern (right) last time out and will now face Rafael Zumbano Love . | If Carl Froch doesn't fight in 2015 I'm not sure he'll be back at all .
A blockbuster with James DeGale is most likely after Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr defeat - but Anthony Dirrell has made contact .
Scott Quigg-Carl Frampton summer fight is dead in the water . | [

Jose Mourinho has revealed that he felt like he was British when Andy Murray won Wimbledon two years ago. The Chelsea manager also described SW19 as 'more than a Grand Slam' due to its traditions and aura. 'The Wimbledon that I really felt was Andy Murray’s victory because it was very special for him,' said Mourinho as he was given a tour of SW19 as part of a new deal between Jaguar and the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

Mourinho (right) and Henman (left) were part of launch for The All England Club's deal with Jaguar . 'Winning Wimbledon is the same for all the players, but for a British player to win Wimbledon after so many years I felt so much emotion. I am not British, but on that day I felt like I was. 'Wimbledon is more than a Grand Slam. You have great tournaments, great matches, but Wimbledon is Wimbledon. The tradition, the history around this tournament is magnificent. 'There are some iconic moments in your sports history, and in football to play at Wembley is a special moment. It is similar to Wimbledon. The aura is very difficult to explain – you come in and you just feel it.' Murray beat Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 during the 2013 final to end Britain's 77-year wait for a men's champion.

The sanction adds to the three they were penalised earlier in the season, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) said on Thursday. Parma's players celebrate beating Juventus at the weekend but the club are rooted to the bottom of Serie A . The decision means that Parma, who despite being last in Serie A beat leaders Juventus 1-0 on Saturday, have been left with 12 points from 30 games. The club were declared bankrupt last month and have not paid their players all season. | Parma declared bankrupt last month and haven't paid players all season .

Robert Kirkland died on Saturday morning in Union City, Tennessee, from kidney failure complications . An entrepreneur and philanthropist who built a national chain of home decor stores and donated $100million has died at age 77. Robert Kirkland, who founded the home decor store that bears his last name, died on Saturday morning in Union City, Tennessee, from complications stemming from kidney failure. Kirkland, who founded Kirkland's home decor stores with his cousin Carl in 1966, donated the money to found the Discovery Park of America education center and tourist attraction in Tennessee. Kirkland's expanded into a chain of more than 300 locations in 35 states. His son Chris said: 'He was a man who loved learning and was always curious about how things worked. 'Discovery Park was really an extension of that curiosity and wanting to instill in children and adults a continued craving for knowledge and understanding.' A memorial service is scheduled for Wednesday at Discovery Park, which will be closed to the general public on that day. Kirkland, who founded the home decor stores with his cousin Carl in 1966, expanded the chain exponentially . He donated millions to found the Discovery Park of America education center and tourist spot in Tennessee . Kirkland was born in Newberry, South Carolina, but he lived in Union City for much of his life. He grew up the son of retailers who owned and operated a Ben Franklin five and dime store. The Kirkland cousins also founded CBK Ltd, which shipped gift and home decor items to customers around the world from a distribution center in Union City, population 11,000. By the late 1990s, Robert Kirkland and his wife Jenny had sold their business holdings and began to concentrate on philanthropic efforts through the Robert E and Jenny D Kirkland Foundation. One of those projects was Discovery Park of America, which opened in 2013. Housed in a futuristic-looking, gleaming-white structure built in a rural field in Union City, Discovery Park has exhibits about natural and regional history, dinosaurs, Native Americans, energy, transportation, science, the military and space flight. An earthquake simulator causes the floor to tremble, a 120-foot glass observation tower offers stunning views and a 50-foot metal replica of the human body includes a 32-foot slide. The 50-acre complex also boasts an old train depot, a century-old church, a rotating grist mill, antique tractors, log cabins and flower gardens. Discovery Park attracted about 300,000 visitors in its first year and it continues to add exhibits and attractions on the strength of Kirkland's $100 million donation.

The girlfriend of a British man who bled to death in Thailand after injuring himself kicking a mirror in the bar where she works has denied having anything to do with the incident. Iain Mackay, 40, is believed to have argued with Nilobon Patty in a separate venue in Hua Hin, a resort some 125miles southwest of Bangkok, shortly before his death. Ms Patty, 35, also known as Patty Patrick, has been accused of 'indirectly causing his death' as seeing her with another man had angered Mr Mackay, but claims she has done nothing wrong. Tragic: Iain Mackay's Thai girlfriend Nilobon Patty, known as Patty Patrick, has denied any involvement in the death of the 40-year-old Scot . According to Ms Patty, the couple had been seeing each other for three years, but that Mr Mackay ended their relationship last month as his work overseas prevented him from settling down with her. She claims she was not with another man, but out with friends, when an 'obviously drunk' Mr Mackay appeared in the bar around 1am. Tragic: Mr Mackay, 40, allegedly got into a fight after discovering Ms Patty talking to another man . Ms Patty claims Mr Mackay, from Stornoway, Scotland, shouted at her, accused her of laughing at him, after which she decided to go home. Police informed her of Mr Mackay's incident in her place of work the next day, she told The Daily Record. 'I was told that Iain had gone there at 3am looking for me and I wasn't there,' she told the paper. 'People have been phoning me and making threats and saying I should leave Hua Hin. But I have done nothing wrong,' 'I don't know why anyone would say that I had anything to do with Iain's death. That is not true. It was just a terrible accident.' Thai police said Mr Mackay was in a rage when he cut himself with a piece of glass at a pool bar near to the venue where he had spotted Ms Patty and the mystery man. Friends of Mr Mackay say that had posted links to his Ms Patty's Facebook page on the evening of his incident which showed her pictured with another man. Onlookers called paramedics after he was found bleeding profusely at the pool shop but they were unable to save him. He later died in hospital. Officials said that no crime had been committed. Location: The resort where Mr Mackay died is in Hua Hin - a coastal city 125 miles south of Bangkok . Arguement: Mr Mackay bled to death after getting into a furious row at a bar in Hua Hin city . One friend said: 'Iain was obviously upset and referred to the woman who seemed to be his own girlfriend and a mystery man as lovers.' Mr Mackay, an underwater research specialist, is believed to have been employed by seismic research company Polarcus, which is based in Dubai. Sources at the company confirmed that Mr Mackay was on leave from his vessel and had told colleagues that he planned to spend his time off in Thailand. Thai officials said that Mr Mackay had died at 3pm on Saturday but relatives claim that they were told of his death on Friday. The Foreign Office also confirmed that Mr Mackay had died on Friday. A spokesman said: 'We can confirm the death of a British national in Hua Hin, Thailand, on April 3. We are providing consular assistance to the family at this sad time.' | Iain Mackay, 40, saw his Thai girlfriend talking to another man in a bar .

Ashley Young has revealed the secret of his team-mates' changing room playlist - and it's not what you expected. Young is known for being the resident DJ at the Red Devils, but he admitted to being under strict orders from manager Louis van Gaal to play only house and funky house music. In an interview with MUTV, the English winger is joined on the sofa by singer-songwriter Olly Murs, who asks whether or not his mainstream tunes are played in the Old Trafford changing room. VIDEO Scroll down for 'DJ Ashley Young' revealing to Olly Murs he only plays funky house . Ashley Young meets Olly Murs outside Manchester United's Aon Training Complex ahead of MUTV filming . Young met the popular singer-songwriter after training to star as a guest on MUTV show Thursday Focus . Former Reds striker Andy Ritchie and Helen Evans hosted the light-hearted MUTV programme . 'I would love to,' responds Young. 'But I've been told by the manager I can only play funky house or house. Seriously, he's liking the playlist.' It came as a big surprise to Murs that the Dutch Master of Ceremonies loves nothing better than to listen to undercover tunes with a funk-inspired bass line after guiding his side to victory. 'Funky house?' responds Murs. 'Van Gaal wants funky house?? Can you imagine watching him coming out the shower [shouting] come on lads! We just won!' United have been slowly resurgent since the turn of the year, with the 20-time English champions third in the Barclays Premier League and odds-on to secure a Champions League return despite last weekend's 1-0 defeat by Chelsea. A mocked up image of how United manager Louis van Gaal might look in the Old Trafford dressing room . Helen - the wife of United defender Jonny Evans - presented the programme on Thursday alongside Ritchie . Young explains the changing room music protocol at Old Trafford to Murs on the Thursday Focus programme . Young has benefited from Louis van Gaal's change in system and has made 24 appearances this season . Whether or not funky house has been behind the club's upturn in fortunes is open to debate, but Young has been in fine form during United's rise, playing a pivotal role in recent wins over Newcastle and bitter rivals Manchester City. Red Devils fan Murs was invited on to the show, co-hosted by Jonny Evans' wife Helen, in between completing a run of three nights at the Manchester Arena as part of his ongoing UK tour. In the show, which is repeated this Saturday on MUTV at 9am, the former X Factor contestant picks his all-time United XI, whilst Young reveals what he can remember about a rather unfortunate incident on the opening day of the season at home to Swansea. But the stand-out line of this week's episode was the confirmation of Van Gaal's penchant for funky house, which was on show at the Amsterdam Gay Pride festival in 2013. | Ashley Young admits house sub-genre is Louis van Gaal's choice of music .

Johnny Manziel was spotted for the first time since being released from rehab. The footballer checked into a facility on January 28 after stating that he wanted to 'be a better family member, friend and teammate,' and Tuesday night the Cleveland Browns quarterback was seen enjoying a Texas Rangers game with girlfriend Colleen Crowley. He also stayed away from the booze, sipping water throughout the game. This as offseason workouts with the team will begin next Monday, April 20. Scroll down for videos . Johnny Manziel was spotted at a Texas Rangers game Tuesday night days after leaving rehab . He was joined by his girlfriend Colleen Crowley and sipped water throughout the night . Manziel (above) has been released from rehab after entering a facility on January 28 . This after Manziel's partying had been a topic of conversation since his rookie season began last July, with some worried his drinking was a priority . According to ESPN, Manziel was 'doing great' in rehab, and had the full support of his team. Now comes the real test however, as he will be forced to compete with Josh McCown for the starting quarterback position, who just signed a $14 million contract with the team that covers the next three seasons. This after a rookie season in which he saw limited game time and suffered difficult losses in his only two starts, Manziel was no doubt hoping to step out of the spotlight following the end of the Cleveland Browns season last December, but talk soon turned to whether or not the accomplished footballer might have a problem. Especially after one incident last year when, after partying until well past midnight, Manziel, who is suffering from an injured hamstring, skipped out on a Saturday morning team treatment session because he overslept, and in turn was fined by the Browns. Manziel was quick to apologize to the team for his behavior, saying; 'It’s about being accountable . . . instead of looking like a jackass.' And while his season may have been over at that time, many believed Manziel would still tone things down for a bit in the wake of that controversy, which made it all the more shocking when he was spotted partying at FDR Lounge at the Delano in Miami on over the New Year holiday, alongside the likes of LeBron James and Ryan Phillippe, and then seen chugging champagne straight from the bottle while sitting poolside with girlfriend Colleen Crowley and some buddies poolside at the Delano. At this point, some in the sports world, chief among them columnist Skip Bayless, began to suggest that the Heisman Trophy winner needed to get help for his drinking. The aqthlete was in treatment for roughly six weeks before being released . Appearing on ESPN’s First Take, Bayless, a noted supporter of Manziel, did not mince words as he made it very clear that in his opinion the former college star needed to deal with his drinking. 'My concern, I repeatedly said, was if Johnny continues to demonstrate that he has a problem with alcohol, and a problem with alcohol leading to partying and all that that entails, then I’m going to be out,' said Bayless. 'In talking to people in and around the Cleveland Browns, I believe Johnny Manziel continues to have a problem with alcohol. And I believe ... that it is time for Johnny to get some help. He continues to lie to his executives, to his coaches, to his teammates, to the media, and most of all, he continues to lie to himself.' He then said he would label Manziel an 'alcoholic.' Manziel was known for his partying while at Texas A&M, but said he was a changed man during the 2014 NFL Draft, noting that he had 'grown up,' before being selected 22nd overall by Cleveland. Just days into his training with the Browns however, the local press began calling him out on his partying, which they cited as the major reason for his poor performance on the field. A source told Cleveland.com at the time; 'Team officials had bought into Manziel's pre-draft promises to tone down the partying and leave his frat-boy lifestyle back in College Station, Texas, and they've been stunned by his non-stop antics.' A photo snapped of Manziel before the start of the season and later posted to Instagram showed the footballer at a bar in the process of tightly rolling up a dollar bill while standing over a sink counter . Manziel while the 2013 Heisman Trophy as the quarterback of the Texas A&M University Aggies . Also causing some alarm before the season even began was a photo snapped of Manziel and later posted to Instagram that showed the footballer at a bar in the process of tightly rolling up a dollar bill while standing over a sink counter, leading some to suggest that he might have been snorting cocaine. Browns head coach Mike Pettine spoke to Manziel soon after the problematic photo was posted, a photo that could have led to an inquiry or a drug test from the NFL, and said he felt that things were back on track and that Manziel was focused on football once again. There was also an odd incident during the regular season when he got into a fight with a fan in the lobby of his apartment building, and while alcohol seems to have played a role in the incident, it was the fan who was inebriated, not Manziel. It should be noted that a very thorough and detailed story published by ESPN in 2013 said that after his arrest for disorderly conduct back in 2012 and while still at college, Manziel did seek help for an alcohol problem, seeing an counselor for six or seven weeks. Manziel would later claim this report was false, and that he had never seen a counselor for anger management or for alcohol abuse while in college. Manziel is now set to begin offseason workouts with the Cleveland Browns on April 20 . As for his future with the Browns, that is a little unclear. Some, including ESPN's Pat McManamon, have called on the Browns to fire Manziel after he overslept for his treatment last year, saying he and fellow player Josh Gordon have a 'complete lack of professionalism.' Gordon was also out with Manziel and showed up late for the team walk-through, an offense that carried a far stiffer punishment for the starter as he was forced to sit out the final game of the season. Currently, Manziel has a four year contract with the Browns worth about $8.25 million. The 22-year-old also has some of the most coveted, and lucrative, endorsement deals in the sports world with, among others, Nike, McDonald's, MusclePharm, and Snickers. For now though, Manziel seems to be committed to laying low and focusing on the football. 'When [Manziel] is back, it will be full speed ahead for him, said Pettine. 'I think he's very anxious at this point. We'll be prepared as we will with every other player. When they get back to town, we're going to coach the heck out of them.' | Johnny Manziel was spotted at a Texas Rangers game Tuesday night just days after leaving rehab and was drinking water all night .
