Former super middleweight champion Nigel Benn is back in the ring and the 51-year-old, dubbed the ‘Dark Destroyer’, has certainly still got what it takes. Ilford-born Benn, who now lives in Australia and works as a charity worker, looked as sharp as ever as he joined in a playful pad session with Ricky Hatton at his Manchester gym. Benn landed a series of punches, including one that saw Hatton's glove fly off, as he put the 36-year-old through his paces following his return to England. Earlier this week, Hatton and Benn met up to discuss the possibility of the ‘Hitman' training Conor Benn, Nigel’s son, ahead of the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

The younger Benn will have to go some way before he manages to surpass the accomplishments of his Dad, though, a man remembered as one of the top 10 British boxers of all time. Benn secured 22 straight knockouts in just over two years as a professional and didn't taste defeat till he came up against the underrated Michael Watson. That rare taste of defeat led to the boxer taking a gamble on life in America and he quickly won the WBO middleweight title after stopping Doug De Witt in a brutal encounter. Benn stopped Iran Barkley in just one round in a title defending performance that shocked the world in his next bout as people began to discuss just how far he could go. Barkley had been in the ring with the likes of Roberto Duran and Thomas Hearns, but there was more to come from Benn as he returned to Britain to fight Chris Eubank. The bout against Eubank was a fight that well and truly grabbed the attentions of the British public as both fighters went hell for leather as soon as the bell went. Benn knocked Eubank to the canvas during that fight, the first time Eubank had ever been sent to ground during his career. However, Eubank came back to defeat Benn in the ninth to capture the WBO belt again before Benn went on to win his next 10 fights.

Some of our most spectacular views of Mars have been presented on small, skinny strips of imagery. Now, for the first time, scientists have joined these individual 30 to 60 mile (50 to 100km) wide strips to create a single complete 3D map. The new map allows astronomers to 'stand' on planetary surfaces and could help explain how water and lava once flowed across the red planet. Scroll down for video . Some of our most spectacular views of Mars have been presented on small, skinny strips of imagery.Now scientists have, for the first time, joined these individual 30 to 60 mile (50 to 100km) wide strips together to create a single complete 3D map. Pictured is a view of a section of the image map Mosaic 'MC-11 East' is on the right and the topographical view can be seen on the left. The warmer colours show a higher elevation . The colour-coded terrain models show the impressive height of the Meridiani Planum region at up to 820ft (250 metres) above the surface, seen in red. This is in contrast to the blue 1,6404ft (5,000 metres) depth of the lower-lying Chryse Planitia region. The first mosaic, pieced together by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), comprises 1.4 million square miles (2.3 million square km) of the surface. It covers the vast crater-strewn highland region of the red planet, parts of the Ares Vallis outflow channel, the chaotic Aram Chaos region as well as the Meridiani Planum and Chryse Planitia plains. The new map allows scientists to 'stand' on planetary surfaces and could help explain how water and lava once flowed across Mars. Pictured is a colour-coded perspective view showing the topography of the upper course of Ares Vallis near the Chryse Planitia plains . Constructing a 3D model such as this requires a spacecraft to look at the same surface feature twice at a different angle. The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on Mars Express is the only experiment that can do it with just one pass. HRSC has nine scan lines that point fore, aft and straight down. This allows it to see a feature on approach, when its underneath and as it fades into the background. HRSC has, during 14,000 orbits, transmitted 293.34 gigabytes of data to Earth. 'Gerhard Mercator and Carl Friedrich Gauss measured Earth, and with our survey of Mars we are following in their footsteps,' says Ralf Jaumann, a DLR planetary scientist. The mosaic extends over 1,120 miles (1800km) from north to south and 810 miles (1,300km) from east to west. Individual stereo and colour images from a total of 89 Martian orbits were combined to create the map. 'The strips were recorded at varying resolutions, with the sun at different positions and under varying weather conditions,' Jaumann said. 'The challenge was to combine them uniformly and without visible borders to form one large image.' Perspective views look into the Ares Vallis outflow channel or into a crater altered by typical Mars erosion processes typical on Mars. 'At present, you cannot create a better image of the surface

Summary: The stunning mosaic could help scientists better understand how water and lava once flowed across Mars . Terrain model shows the impressive height of the Meridiani Planum region at up to 820ft (250 metres) in red . Colder colours reveal craters, ditches and plains, which are particularly prominent in Chryse Planitia region . In three years, the German Aerospace Center wants to represent the whole of Mars as one coherent mosaic .


A Spanish town on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route is warning pilgrims and other visitors to stop defecating along the famous path. Graphic signs telling visitors not to stop for a poo break during their walk to the holy city of Santiago de Compostela, in north-western Spain, have been erected in the municipality of Lastres. But no one knows who put up the signs, which show a squatting figure defecating within a red circle with a diagonal line across it. Someone in the municipality of Lastres has posted signs warning pilgrims not to defecate on the trail . The pilgrimage, known as the Way of St James, attracts thousands of pilgrims every year, but there can be very few places to go when nature calls. In Lastres, angry residents have complained about pilgrims defecating outside their homes. The signs are posted next to warnings that urge people not to litter. The pilgrimage begins at various points, with the longest route nearly 500 miles from the Spain-France border, which lead to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, where Saint James the Great is said to be buried. Antonio Fernandez, a resident of Lastres, told Spain’s EFE news agency that the signs are found to be so amusing they have become an attraction. Some pilgrims will walk nearly 500 miles (800 kilometres) to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela . Pilgrims and other visitors are now stopping to pose for photos with them, he added. Two other residents, Jose Ramon Fernandez and his wife, Maria Paz, said they were surprised the warning signs were posted, as the pilgrims ‘are very polite’ and ‘always friendly’. Lantres is a parish in Santos, and its mayor said ‘it makes no sense’ that there are no public facilities for pilgrims at regular points during their long journey on the historic route. Julio Gallego told the Spanish newspaper La Voz de Galicia that it is a ‘huge failure’ that needs to be remedied.

Summary: No one knows who put up the signs in the municipality of Lastres . The signs show a figure defecating within a red circle with a line across it . Angry residents claim pilgrims have defecated outside their homes .


Cardiff City will have no supporters present at Saturday's Championship game against Leeds United at Elland Road after the Welsh club backed their fans in handing back their allocation of 500 tickets. Both clubs have a history of fan trouble but Leeds have not confirmed whether the decision for such a low number of tickets was down to the club, council or police, when they would usually offer in excess of 2,500 tickets to away fans. And now Cardiff have thrown their support behind a fan-run campaign to boycott the trip to Elland Road by handing back their tickets 'as a matter of principle'. Cardiff City will have no supporters present at Saturday's Championship game against Leeds United . The club, including CEO Ken Choo (far left) have thrown their backing behind a fans' boycott of the game . Cardiff welcomed 2,200 Leeds fans to the Cardiff City Stadium in the reverse fixture back in November's game, which ended a 3-1 win for the home side, and have been angered by the decision not to reciprocate. Leeds have not spoken on the matter but it is believed that they offered 2,000 tickets with restrictions on those travelling to Yorkshire before offering an allocation of 500 without restrictions. Supporters groups had already spoken about boycotting the game and now a full shut-out of away fans has been confirmed by the news that Cardiff will not take up any of their seats at Elland Road. Elland Road will be without any away fans on Saturday for the 3pm kick-off after Cardiff sent back the tickets . The reverse fixture earlier in the season at the Cardiff City Stadium saw Leeds fans offered 2,200 tickets . 'Our preference was for Cardiff City fans to be granted the same respect and freedom of travel as provided to over 2,000 Leeds supporters for the corresponding fixture this season, and we are frustrated that this could not be permitted,' Cardiff CEO Ken Choo said in a statement. 'With the intelligence and information available however, we consider the event to be routine and manageable and that that the travel and ticket restrictions in place are substantially out of proportion to any perceived risk. 'As stated by our Supporter Groups, we also believe that West Yorkshire Police could manage the event without issue or restrictions, if they chose to do so.' Choo said the club would have preferred for their fans to be treated with 'respect and freedom' as Leeds were . Leeds fans will not have any opposition to sing against for the Championship clash on Saturday afternoon . West Yorkshire Police were criticised by Millwall manager Ian Holloway earlier this year for their treatment of his club's supporters after they were offered an allocation of just 200 restricted tickets. WYP are yet to comment on Cardiff's statement. Leeds have also rejected Cardiff's request to hold a 'beam back' at the Cardiff City Stadium, with the 3pm kick-off being shown at the away side's ground in Wales, a decision that Khoo says has left his club frustrated. 'For the

Summary: Cardiff City have joined their fans in protest against Leeds United tickets . The two sides face each other in the Championship on Saturday at 3pm . Cardiff have returned the entirety of their 500 allocation for Yorkshire trip . There is a history of trouble between the supporters of both clubs . Leeds refuse to give Cardiff rights to show the game live at their ground .


Apple's Watch hits stores this Friday when customers and employees alike will be able to pre-order the timepiece. And boss Tim Cook is rewarding his staff by offering them a 50 per cent discount on the device. Any employee working in the regions where the watch is being launched - including the US, UK, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan - will be eligible. Scroll down for video . Any employee working in the regions where the Watch is being launched - including the US, UK, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan - will be eligible for a 50% discount on the standard model (centre) and the Sport model (left). It does not apply to the Edition model (right) The plans were in a memo leaked to Apple fansite 9to5Mac in which Mr Cook wrote: 'I know that many of you have been looking forward to choosing an Apple Watch for yourselves, and we want to make it easy for you. 'Starting Friday a special Employee Purchase Plan will offer a 50% discount on any Apple Watch or Apple Watch Sport for your personal use.' Notably, the discount doesn't apply to the expensive Edition model, which starts at $10,000 in the US and £8,000 in the UK. Mr Cook continued that as the Watch is introduced in more countries, this price plan will be extended. Prices for the Sport model start at $349 in the US and £299 in the UK, while the stainless steel Watch starts at $549 (£479). Apple's Watch goes on display around the world on 10 April and people can pre-order it at 12.01 Pacific Time (8am BST) on this day. The Watch will then go on general sale on 24 April in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan . Earlier this week, Apple released the first four guided tour videos of its watch, and said more are 'coming soon.' These videos (pictured) include an introduction to the main features, plus how to use the Messages app, customise the face, and use digital touch . This means US employees will only pay $174.50 and $274 respectively, while in the UK the price drops to £149.50 and £239.50. Like many firms, Apple staff already reportedly receive a discount across the product range and this is said to be around 30 per cent. According Piper Jaffray senior analyst Gene Munster, Apple will sell a million watches in its first weekend on sale, three times the first-day sales of Apple's last all-new product, the iPad. It would put the Apple Watch behind Apple's first iPad, which sold 3 million in its first weekend in 2010, but ahead of the first iPhone, which sold 700,000 units when it debuted in 2007. However, it would be a fraction of the 10 million iPhone 6 and 6 Pluses sold in the same timespan. The half-price Watch discounts apply from Friday and will last for 90 days. It is not clear whether employees can buy multiple watches under the scheme and Apple has

The family rift tearing France's National Front apart plunged to new depths today when Jean-Marie Le Pen said his daughter Marine 'may want me dead'. It follows the 87-year-old honorary president of the far-right party falling out with Ms Le Pen, the current leader, over his extreme views. She was particularly angry that Mr Le Pen, a convicted racist and anti-Semite, called the Nazi gas chambers 'a detail of history'. Outage: Jean-Marie Le Pen angered his daughter when he said Nazi gas chambers were 'a detail of history' Anger: The 87-year-old has now said his Marine - the leader of the Front Nationale - 'may want him dead' But, in response to suggestions he should step down from his position, Mr Le Pen told RTL radio it was a 'crazy idea'. Mr Le Pen explained: 'The prestige that I obviously still have within the National Front would cause a considerable stir, and a loss of influence for Marine that she probably doesn't gauge.' He added: 'Marine Le Pen may want me dead, that's possible, but she must not count on my co-operation.' In an interview on Wednesday, Mr Le Pen flamed allegations of anti-Semitism by praising the wartime leader Marshall Phillippe Petain, who collaborated with the Nazis. Mr Le Pen also said that France's Spanish-born Socialist Prime Minister was an 'immigrant' and so unfit to run the country. And he made it clear that he was 'nostalgic' for the days when Algeria, the biggest country in Africa, was French. Stubborn: However, Mr Le Pen has refused to step down as honorary president of the far right party . Ms Le Pen took over the National Front (FN) from her father in 2011, and has tried to purge it of its extremists. Furious with her father's latest outburst, his daughter said she would oppose his candidacy in December elections to lead the southeastern Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region. She said his 'scorched earth strategy' of causing maximum public outrage amounted to 'political suicide'. 'The FN doesn't want to be held hostage to his vulgar provocations,' said Ms Le Pen, adding: 'His aim is to harm.' Denier: Mr Le Pen is known for his anti-semitic views, and was found guilty of Holocaust denial in 2008 . In an interview with Rivarol magazine, Mr Le Pen stood by his gas chambers remark, saying: 'I am not the type of man who changes his mind or crawls.' In a poll published last year, 83 per cent of French described Mr Le Pen as a handicap to his daughter as she fights to become president in 2017. The party has enjoyed immense electoral success over the past year, winning 25 per cent of the popular vote in local and European elections a year ago. Socialist Party leader Jean-Christophe Cambadelis suggesting the in-fighting exposes the true nature of the FN, saying: 'Jean-Marie Le Pen says out loud what many FN leaders, members and even voters think. 'Behind all that lies a political debate: should they keep what sets the far-Right apart or hide it to win elections? Marine Le Pen

Summary: Marie Le Pen has fallen out with her father over his 'extreme views' The 87-year-old convicted racist said Nazi gas chambers 'a detail of history' Marine said FN 'doesn't want to be held hostage to his vulgar provocations' She will oppose him standing in December poll amid calls for him to resign . But honorary president Jean-Marie said stepping down is a 'crazy idea'


Arsene Wenger says that Arsenal will have to be perfect until the end of the season if they want to challenge for the title — but maintains that they will be ready if Chelsea slip. Arsenal thrashed Liverpool 4-1 at home with goals from Hector Bellerin, Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud and are seven points behind Chelsea, with the Premier League leaders having to visit The Emirates in two weeks’ time — although Jose Mourinho’s team still have a game in hand. And Wenger says his team have to focus on winning every game in order to be ready for any setbacks that Chelsea may suffer. Arsene Wenger is not letting his team get ahead of themselves despite an excellent win on Saturday . Hector Bellerin celebrates after putting Arsenal 1-0 ahead against Liverpool in the first half on Saturday . ‘If the opportunity presents itself, we will have to be perfect and Chelsea have to be not perfect,’ said Wenger. ‘The only thing which we can master is to be perfect. Chelsea have a difficult programme and so do we. ‘We want to keep the momentum — win, win, win and win again. We know the top four is in our hands now. The title is not in our hands. We are looking up, but we are looking at our next game because that is all we can control. What we can master mathematically is the top four. Let’s focus on what we can master — our own performance.’ Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers praised Raheem Sterling, despite Liverpool's heavy defeat . Liverpool won their penalty after Sterling (top) was fouled by Bellerin (bottom) in the second half . But Wenger insisted that the performance against Liverpool demonstrated that had they not be hampered by injuries and the late return of World Cup winners Ozil and Per Mertesacker, then they would have been closer to Chelsea in the table. ‘We have moved forward,’ he said. ‘We missed important players at the start of the season when we dropped too many points. When you look at the points we’ve made since everyone is back, I believe that shows you we have the quality to fight at the top.’ Mesut Ozil scored a glorious second for Arsenal with a sumptuous free-kick on 40 minutes . Meanwhile, it has emerged that Liverpool must give Raheem Sterling’s first club, QPR, up to £15 million of the profits if they sell the 20-year-old. The winger, who has controversially put contract talks on hold at Anfield, has admitted that he has been flattered to be linked with Arsenal. Liverpool agreed a 25 percent sell-on clause with QPR when they signed Sterling in 2010 as a 15-year-old for £500,000. It means QPR would be entitled to £12.375m if Sterling is sold for £50m and is seen as an important reason why Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to keep the talented winger. Alexis Sanchez celebrates after netting the Gunners third on the stroke of half-time at the Emirates . Olivier Giroud (right) added a late fourth with

A nine-year-old girl is pregnant after suffering horrific sexual abuse at the hands of Isis militants in northern Iraq, aid workers report. The Yazidi girl has recently been released after nearly a year as a prisoner in the Islamic State, where women and young girls from the religious minority are known to be kept as 'sex slaves'. Earlier this week, more than 200 Yazidi women, children and elderly were released near Kirkuk, northern Iraq after being taken by Isis militants last June. Scroll down for video . Released: An elderly Yazidi man is being cared for by peshmerga troops while a young girl cries as she is being offered water by a Kurdish soldier after their release near Kirkuk, northern Iraq . Fear: The 216 prisoners, including 40 children, believed they were being led to their execution, but instead, were piled onto minibuses that drove them to a handover southwest of Kirkuk . Relief: A newly released Yazidi woman reacts upon her arrival in the village of Himera, southwest of Kirkuk, after she and hundreds of other Yazidis had been held captive since last summer . Around 40,000 people were kidnapped at gunpoint when Islamic State fighters attacked Yazidi villages last summer. Hundreds have been able to return, either by fleeing or being set free by ISIS, and the nine-year-old is among them. According to aid workers, she was 'sexually abused by no fewer than ten men', while in captivity inside the self-proclaimed caliphate. 'Most of them were front-line fighters or suicide bombers who are given girls as a reward,' Yousif Daoud, a Canadian-based aid worker told the Toronto Star. 'This girl is so young she could die if she delivers a baby,' he added. 'Even a caesarian section is dangerous. The abuse she has suffered left her mentally and physically traumatized.' Free at last: A mother hugs here young child in celebration at being released. The freed Yazidis were taken away by ambulances and buses to receive treatment and care . Yazidi families embrace after ISIS let them go. About 40 children were among those released . The United Nations said last month that the Islamic State may have committed genocide against the minority . The nine-year-old was taken to Germany by a Kurdish charity earlier this week, where she is receiving medical care, the newspaper reported. This comes after the release of 216 Yazidi prisoners who had been held captive since last summer when ISIS militants attacked their villages in the area around Sinjar in northwestern Iraq. The freed prisoners said that they had been led to believe they were being led to their execution, but instead, were piled onto a minibus that drove them to peshmerga positions. The Yazidis, made up of women, children and the elderly, are said to be in poor health and bearing signs of abuse and neglect. General Hiwa Abdullah, a peshmerga commander in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, said that about 40 children are among those released, some of whom were too exhausted and disoriented to speak. No reason was given for the

This is the moment Jeremy Clarkson talked himself out of a ticket after leaving his bright green Lamborghini parked on yellow lines. Despite his recent woes, he was seen laughing with a traffic warden in London, who had tried to put a ticket on his borrowed supercar. The warden recognized the former Top Gear host immediately and the pair chatted for a few minutes. And the conversation must have been a good one - as the warden then appeared to walk away without leaving a ticket on the eye-catching Lamborghini. Scroll down for video . Jeremy Clarkson talked himself out of a parking ticket in London today after leaving his green Lamborghini parked on yellow lines . After spending 15 minutes inspecting a black Ferrari, Clarkson drove off in his eye-catching supercar . Clarkson was also spotted at Stamford Bridge, cheering on Chelsea as they drew 0-0 with Arsenal . Clarkson had met up with two people who were showing him black Ferrari Pininfarina 275. He was inspecting the car as if he may have had an interest in buying it. After spending around 15 minutes looking at the car, he drove off in his Lamborghini, which has Italian number plates. Clarkson, 55, was sensationally sacked from Top Gear by the BBC last month after a 'fracas' involving a producer during filming. This week Richard Hammond, 45, joined James May in confirming he will not return to Top Gear following Clarkson's sacking, insisting on Friday he had no plan to 'quit my mates.' Today, Hammond told reporters at a charity bike rally that the future will be 'exciting' but refused to speculate further on the future of Top Gear. The former Top Gear presenter stopped for a chat with tennis coach Boris Becker after the full-time whistle . Clarkson did not seem to entertained by the match between the two London sides, which was a bore draw . Jeremy Clarkson (left) is seen with his Top Gear colleagues James May (centre) and Richard Hammond (right) outside his west London flat this week, in their first public appearance since he was sacked . He said: 'Everybody knows what's happened. That's all been in the news. The future, nobody knows yet do they? 'And I cannot and won't speculate further than that. So don't know, let's see. It'll be exciting whatever.' Hammond's resignation marked another blow for the popular show, which has been marred by uncertainty since Clarkson was axed. There is mounting speculation the men are working on a new motoring series to be aired by Netflix, Amazon or another British broadcaster. Producer Olsin Tymon had his lip split by Clarkson in the March 4 assault and took himself to hospital with his injuries. The incident led to the BBC deciding not to renew Clarkson's contract after the current Top Gear series of Top Gear finishes. Police investigated the attack but Tymon told them he did not want to press charges and officers announced earlier this month they would 'not be pursuing the matter any further.' And Clarkson recently admitted had suffered a

After his grandfather passed away when he was just 12-years-old, Brendan Cordina resigned himself to the fact that his beloved World War II medals were gone forever. After searching far and wide for two years, the 36-year-old amazingly found the medals in the Northern Territory and drove over 3500 kilometres in four days to be reunited with the family treasures. But on his arrival at the Darwin Military Museum, Mr Cordina was refused the medals and told that they 'were more important to the museum.' Medals include an Airforce Cross, War Medal 39-45 Star, a Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal and others . Brendan Cordina (pictured here with his son Zac) drove for four days to find his grandfather's medals . 'I searched for years and really thought they were lost forever,' Mr Cordina told Daily Mail Australia. 'I started by ringing around RSL's asking if anyone had heard of flight lieutenant Captain Jack Slade.' Mr Cordina then began a national search and found clues that brought him to Darwin after two years of searching. 'After confirming that we had found the medals, we put it to the museum board,' he said. 'It took time to get an answer, but museum Director Pierre Akin responded saying that "the medals are more important to us and they're going to stay here.'" The museum instead offered to send Mr Cordina replicas to which he was outraged. 'I was disgusted about it,' he said. 'It's the sentimentality, if they put replicas in the museum, the public would not know the difference, but I do.' After posting the rejection letter he received on Facebook, Mr Cordina saw the messages of support and decided to start a petition on change.org. 'I never for a moment imagined our family would be left begging for his bravery to be respected – yet unbelievably, that's exactly what NT Museums has done, rejecting our plea for his service medals to be returned,' the petition reads. Captain Jack Slade was a flight lieutenant in World War II and received many distinguished service medals . He has received of 15,000 signatures in under 24 hours and is overwhelmed by the public's support. 'I’m humbled and honoured that people are siding with what’s right,' he said. The medals for Mr Slade's service included the distinguished Airforce Cross, an order of the British Empire, a War Medal 39-45 Star, a Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal among various others. But Mr Cordina's biggest regret is that his ill mother will not get to see her father's medals again. 'She can barely make it to the front door, let alone Darwin,' he said. 'She'll never see them again if we can't get them home.' The Director of the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Pierre Arpin understands that the family are emotionally tied to these items, but said he has respected the intent of the donor. The donor was Mr Slade's wife, Mel Slade, who has also since passed away. 'Joyce Maden, who is the executrix of the will called us and confirmed that it

Summary: Brendan Cordina found his granddad's WWII medals at a NT museum . He spent two years looking for Jack Slade's medal's believing they were lost forever . A request to have them returned to the family was refused . Mr Cordina was told that the museum needed them more than he did . He has now started a petition to have them returned with 15,000 signatures . Director of the museum said Mr Slade asked for them to be left to the public in his will .


A celebrity doctor known as ‘Healing Hans’ has played a key role in getting Paula Radcliffe to the start line for Sunday’s London Marathon. ‘I was close to pulling out,’ she admitted. ‘There was definitely a point I was worried because I thought, “God, if I can’t run for 45 minutes, I can’t get round a marathon”.’ Instead Radcliffe turned to renowned German doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt, who has worked with the likes of Ronaldo, Michael Owen and Usain Bolt. World record holder Paula Radcliffe said she 'was close to pulling out' of the London Marathon on Sunday . But Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt, who has worked with Ronaldo, has made sure Radcliffe will race . Despite a very public split with Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola last week, Muller-Wohlfahrt joined an American foot surgeon, orthotics specialists in Belgium and physiotherapists at British Athletics to make sure Radcliffe will reach the start line for her final competitive marathon on Sunday. The 750,000 who are expected to pack the 26.2-mile course from London’s Blackheath to Pall Mall will not witness a Radcliffe of 2003 vintage. Her world record time of 2:15:25 still stands 12 years later but the 41-year-old will be nowhere near that mark this time, setting off with the good club runners rather than the elite women. Finishing the race will be a victory of sorts for her after fearing a degenerative injury to her foot would rule her out. ‘I was in Kenya and training was going well,’ she said. 'But because the trails are pretty rocky out there I tweaked my achilles. I went down to Font Romeu (her training camp in Italy) and it snowed there so I did a couple of runs on the treadmill. Maybe because it was harder on the treadmill my achilles started to get really sore.’ Sunday's London Marathon will be Radcliffe's final competitive marathon of her career . Celebrity doctor Muller-Wohlfahrt (left), known as ‘Healing Hans’, recently German giants Bayern Munich . The turning point came four weeks ago while on a run in the park near her home in Monaco with daughter Isla, eight. ‘She was on her bike and it’s quite hilly so I was more impressed that she kept up. 'From that day, I’ve been able to gradually increase it and get back, with ice buckets after every run, and I’m just really grateful to everyone who has helped me. ‘If I was being competitive I would have pulled out five weeks ago. But I’ve just been there so many times and this time I just thought it doesn’t matter if I run it in three hours or 2:45. ‘I’m almost there and I’m hoping my body will remember a little bit once I get running.’

The annual race will be Radcliffe's final competitive marathon of her career . German doctor Muller-Wohlfahrt has previously worked with Ronaldo .


Friends and neighbours. For the next 48 hours, however, the pint will have to stay behind the bar as Chris Ramsey and Tim Sherwood go toe to toe in the scrap for survival. As far as QPR manager Ramsey is concerned, Sherwood’s Aston Villa are in no danger of tumbling out of the Barclays Premier League, despite their lowly position. The verdict is delivered on the evidence that Ramsey has gathered in four years of working alongside Sherwood at Tottenham. Chris Ramsey believes his friend and neighbour Tim Sherwood will keep Aston Villa in the Premier League . But the QPR boss will be pulling no punches when he clashes with his former Tottenham colleague on Tuesday . QPR scored four goals in a Premier League away game for the first time since March 1994 v Norwich (4-3). ‘Without a shadow of a doubt I think he will keep them up,’ said Ramsey. ‘He has a good squad, players who have the wow factor and he knows how to manipulate those particular players. 'If I was a betting man, which we’re not allowed to do, I would be putting a bet on him keeping them up.’ Ramsey will be doing his utmost to extend Villa’s top-flight uncertainty on Tuesday night and has reason for optimism given Rangers’ stunning victory at West Bromwich Albion. Ramsey says if he 'was a betting man, which we’re not allowed to do,' he would bet on Villa staying up . QPR celebrate the second of their four goals against West Brom from Charle Austin (right) A second win in the Birmingham area in four days would send QPR above Villa on goal difference. Sherwood and Ramsey, a duo operating as boss and assistant last season at Spurs, will share words in advance. ‘Me, him and Les (Ferdinand) live probably 10 minutes from each other so sometimes there is a pint to be had. I’m sure we’ll speak before the game,’ added Ramsey. ‘We worked together at Tottenham for four years in various jobs,’ said Ramsey. ‘It’s great you can have two coaches who’ve gone through the system and are coaching in the Premier League. The game has to look at it from an English point of view. ‘If things hadn’t gone our way against West Brom then the mountain looks a little bit bigger. The game will be very important for both teams.’ Ramsey and Sherwood were in the trenches together at Spurs and live within 10 minutes of each other . The perspective for Ramsey’s team is more positive after putting four past a West Brom side who for the first half looked to have beach on the brain already. Joey Barton scored in added time at the Hawthorns to underline the emphatic victory, having six minutes earlier received a forearm in the face from Youssouf Mulumbu that saw the Albion midfielder sent off. That ended any chance of a comeback for the hosts, who trailed 3-0 at the break but pulled one back through Victor Anichebe. First half goals from Eduardo Vargas, Charlie Austin and

Summary: Chris Ramsey believes Tim Sherwood will keep Aston Villa from relegation . Friendships will be cast aside when Ramsey's QPR face Sherwood's Villa . QPR are optimistic about survival after beating West Brom 4-1 on Saturday . A win over Villa would put Ramsey's Rs ahead of Villa on goal difference .

Hillary Clinton's astroturf candidacy is in full swing in Iowa. Her Tuesday morning visit to a coffee shop in LeClaire, Iowa was staged from beginning to end, according to Austin Bird, one of the men pictured sitting at the table with Mrs. Clinton. Bird told Daily Mail Online that campaign staffer Troy Price called and asked him and two other young people to meet him Tuesday morning at a restaurant in Davenport, a nearby city. Price then drove them to the coffee house to meet Clinton after vetting them for about a half-hour. The three got the lion's share of Mrs. Clinton's time and participated in what breathless news reports described as a 'roundtable'– the first of many in her brief Iowa campaign swing. Bird himself is a frequent participant in Iowa Democratic Party events. He interned with President Obama's 2012 presidential re-election campaign, and was tapped to chauffeur Vice President Joe Biden in October 2014 when he visited Davenport. 'What happened is, we were just asked to be there by Troy,' Bird said Wednesday in a phone interview. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . STAGED: Clinton sat to talk with three young Iowans at a coffee shop on Tuesday – all of whom were driven to the event by her Iowa campaign's political director . NOT SO ORDINARY: Austin Bird is a Democratic Party insider who chauffeured Vice President Joe Biden around Davenport, Iowa in October during a pre-election campaign trip . 'We were asked to come to a meeting with Troy, the three of us, at the Village Inn.' The other two, he confirmed, were University of Iowa College Democrats president Carter Bell and Planned Parenthood of the Heartland employee Sara Sedlacek. 'It was supposed to be a strategy meeting,' Bird recalled, 'to get our thoughts about issues. But then all of a sudden he says, "Hey, we have Secretary Clinton coming in, would you like to go meet her?"' 'And then we got in a car – Troy's car – and we went up to the coffee house, and we sat at a table and then Hillary just came up and talked with us.' Bird said 'we all were called.' 'I mean, Troy asked us all to do – to go to a meeting with him. And we didn't really know what it was about. I mean, he did. He knew.' It's unclear how many Iowans featured in photographs with Clinton that rocketed around the country on Tuesday were planted. 'The mayor of LeClaire was there, and his wife was there,' Bird said, recalling the scene at the coffee shop. Price was executive director of the Iowa Democratic Party until a month ago. Clinton's team tapped him last week to be its political director in Iowa. He did not respond to a request for comment. Bird is a government and community relations coordinator at Genesis Health System in Davenport, Iowa, according to his LinkedIn profile. A coworker at Genesis said Wednesday that Bird is 'basically a lobbyist in training. That's what he wants to do.' Bird disagreed, saying his role

Summary: Austin Bird sat for coffee on Tuesday morning in the town of LeClaire, Iowa, chatting with Hillary Clinton as photographers snapped pictures . News reports called him a 'student' and her campaign called it an unscripted event . But Clinton's Iowa political director Troy Price drove Bird and two other people to the coffee house .

Teachers are having to use Google Translate to plan lessons as they struggle to cater for migrant children. A union conference heard today that schools are struggling to cope with an influx of children arriving in classes unable to speak English. Teachers have warned that schools are now having to deal with pupils across the UK speaking up to 300 languages. A union conference heard today that schools are struggling to cope with an influx of children arriving unable to speak English - forcing some teachers to use Google translate to make lesson plans in other languages . They also said English-speaking children are not getting their ‘fair share’ of attention from teachers because of the additional needs of those from abroad. In a speech to delegates from the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, Oxfordshire teacher Joy Wilson said many staff had little or no training in how to deal with pupils with English as an additional language (EAL). She said: ‘UK schools are educating a rising number of EAL pupils. This continues day by day. ‘There are now 300 different languages and this is a challenge as we are experiencing growing numbers, and areas of previously no [bilingual] students now have them for the first time.’ She pointed out that it takes some pupils up to seven years to gain adequate language proficiency for academic work - which means their lack of English holds them back. Teachers have warned that schools are now having to deal with pupils across the UK speaking up to 300 different languages - but hardly any English . She said that it was even harder to deal with those who had ‘complex needs’ such as communication disorders, autism and moderate learning difficulties if they also had poor English skills. Around one in six primary school pupils do not have English as their first language, while in secondary schools the figure is one in seven. Official statistics released in 2014 showed the proportion of non-native speakers in primary schools increased from 18.1 per cent to 18.7 per cent in a year. In secondary schools, the proportion increased from 13.6 to 14.3 per cent. Some schools in multicultural areas have pupils with more than 20 different native languages. Earlier this year, it was revealed that only 10 per cent of pupils at Gascoigne Primary School in Barking, East London, were native English speakers. Diane Wilson, who also teaches in Oxfordshire, told the conference in Liverpool she had Hungarian, Russian and Portuguese children in her class. She said: ‘I was up until midnight writing individual lesson plans for the three EAL students and two other differentiated ones for the rest of the class. All the materials handled were self made and individual instructions using Google Translate were put into Hungarian and Portuguese. ‘Without the appropriate funding, the EAL students do not get the specialist support staff they need. ‘The non-EAL students do not get a fair share of the teacher’s time. The stress levels of the teacher go through the roof.’ Heather Emerson, a teacher from Salford, told the

Summary: Schools are struggling to cope with children who cannot speak English . Teachers are using Google translate to plan lessons for migrant children . Union conference heard other children aren't getting fair share of attention .


After years of negotiations, Stephen King's hit novel series The Dark Tower is on its way to big and small screens near you. The revered writer, who penned Shawshank Redemption and The Shining, slammed Warner Brothers in 2012 for dropping plans to make a movie trilogy and TV mini-series. Finally, three years later, things are back on track - this time with Sony. Finally: Stephen King has announced Sony will be putting his 'magnum opus' The Dark Tower in cinemas . These are just two of the eight novels which King spent over 40 years writing. The movie and TV version is said to mainly stem from the first novel, The Gunslinger (left), focusing on the lead character Roland . 'I'm excited that The Dark Tower is finally going to appear on the screen,' King said in a statement. 'Those who have traveled with Roland and his friends in their search for the Dark Tower are going to have their long-held hopes fully realized. This is a brilliant and creative approach to my books.' The eight-book series written between 1970 and 2012 follows a 'gunslinger' on his journey towards a tower. Describing his self-professed 'magnum opus', King said it combines the essences of the Wild West, science fiction, and Lord Of The Rings. Like J. R. R. Tolkien's celebrated trilogy, The Dark Tower has its own unique language. According to Deadline, the newfangled project has an entirely new script which focuses on the relationship between Roland and Jake in Gunslinger, the first book. A provisional script has been written by Akiva Goldsman (Cinderella Man) and Jeff Pinkner (Lost). Rumored leads: Javier Bardem (left) and Russell Crowe (right) are said to be interested in the lead role . Three years on, Javier Bardem and Russell Crowe are still rumored to be interested in the lead role. Sony chairman Tom Rothman said in a statement: 'There are few projects out there that compare with the scope, vision, complex characters and fully drawn world that Stephen King has created with The Dark Tower. 'I am a giant fan. And, as Stephen himself does, we love the direction that Akiva and Jeff have taken. This is a great opportunity for a director to put his or her stamp on a cool global franchise.' When Warner Bros dropped the deal - initiated by Universal - King told a press conference: 'The Dark Tower, to me, and I’m not unbiased because I’m the writer on this thing, but to me it looks like gold on the ground waiting to be picked up.'

Summary: Warner Bros slammed by novelist for dropping the deal in 2012 . Sony has announced deal to release movies and TV series . The Dark Tower is an 8-part novel series written between 1970 and 2012 . Javier Bardem and Russell Crowe rumored to be interested in the lead .


Police have dropped an investigation into a vicious assault on a huntsman just three months after it took place – despite a wealth of evidence pointing to the identity of a suspected attacker. Last night the victim, Mike Lane, 40, who was beaten by balaclava-clad protesters armed with iron bars on ropes, condemned the decision by police as ‘pathetic’. He said: ‘They could have made more effort. Everyone is very disappointed. I’ve been told that unless further evidence comes forward, the attackers are not likely to be found. We find it pathetic.’ Attack: Mike Lane,40, who is joint master of the Tedworth Hunt, on the ground during the confrontation with hunt saboteurs . A video of the incident and a dossier of evidence, including some names of saboteurs and their car registration numbers, was given to Wiltshire Police after the assault. The attack at Everleigh, near Amesbury, took place even though the 30 riders and their hounds were chasing only an artificial scent, rather than a fox. During the incident, Mr Lane, who is joint master of the Tedworth Hunt, was sent flying to the ground, before being kicked in the head. He was admitted to hospital with concussion and broken teeth and his face was swollen. Since the attack he has suffered memory loss. The face of the thug who kicked Mr Lane was captured on video. Following the attack, Wiltshire Police issued the suspect’s photograph, although he has not been identified. In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, Mr Lane said: ‘I’ve been told by police they are shelving their inquiries due to insufficient evidence. It’s angered us because we gave them evidence. I’m beginning to lose my trust in the police.’ Wiltshire Police confirmed they had stopped the investigation pending further information, but their failure to identify, charge or prosecute anyone involved has dismayed hunt supporters across the country. This is the face of the main suspect . On the day of the attack, January 24, about 15 protesters sprayed hounds with the perfumed chemical citronella to distract them from the scent. Mr Lane said: ‘I noticed they parked about 250 yards away. Then five came towards us. They were looking for trouble – it was a hardcore element we’d not seen before. ‘They were abusive and then one spat at me and then punched me in the face. A scuffle broke out and I slipped and one started kicking me in the head, stamped on me and the heel of his steel toe-capped trainer stuck in my mouth. I was knocked out for a few minutes. Then the chap started swinging a rope with an iron bar.’ Mr Lane, who has paid £500 for dental treatment since the attack, added: ‘I feel let down and think the police could have done more.’ Karen Fieldsend, 42, who made the call to police, is furious that the case has been dropped. ‘It’s disgraceful,’ she said. ‘If you had people assaulted in a city centre, something would be done, but in the countryside people forget about it.’ James Cameron,

Summary: Mike Lane was beaten by masked protesters armed with iron bars on ropes . Attack happened as 30 riders and hounds were chasing artificial scent . Wiltshire Police handed video footage and some names of saboteurs . Decision by police to drop probe branded 'pathetic' by 40-year-old .


There were a lot of potential managers in the Arsenal team that Patrick Vieira captained but he, more than anybody, looked destined to be a top boss. His star quality was obvious from the start. If Manchester City do end up sacking Manuel Pellegrini then there is already one man at the club who would happily take over, if asked. Patrick wants to be a manager. He is intelligent, well-balanced and has a burning desire to win. He was a ferocious competitor on the pitch but off it he is a class act. Patrick Vieira could be next in line to replace Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad Stadium . City manager Pellegrini faces a nervous wait to see if he keeps his job this summer . (L-R) Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure and James Milner look dejected during the 4-2 Manchester derby defeat . He will feel slightly uncomfortable being linked to the top job. Not because he doesn’t want it but because Pellegrini is still in charge. Patrick has always been respectful. I met him for a tour of City’s new training ground recently and the respect he commands at that club is incredible. He has an aura about him — when he enters a room, people pay attention. At Arsenal, Tony Adams was a very visual captain on the pitch but behind the scenes Patrick always had plenty to say. Sportsmail columnist Martin Keown (right) recently met his former team-mate at City's new training ground . Vieira was a captain who led by example during the pair's time together at Highbury . The World Cup winning Frenchman finished his playing career at Manchester City . Read Sportsmail's verdict on the Manchester derby between United and City . When he took over as captain he would hold team meetings without Arsene Wenger and was never afraid to speak his mind. He is not afraid to take on big personalities — that’s because personalities don’t come much bigger than Patrick’s. He did not shout and scream — he was always calm and spoke with real authority. He never wanted to make rash decisions and is such a solid, reliable character. That’s why he will make a fantastic manager one day. From the first day I met him at Arsenal, Patrick has remained respectful and likeable. Nothing has changed. He is a model professional but he has the personality and presence to take charge in a dressing-room full of big egos. That’s exactly what City need. He has worked with some of the best managers in the business — Arsene Wenger, Fabio Capello, Roberto Mancini and Jose Mourinho. There’s no doubt he will have been studying those men to see how they operate so he can absorb their wisdom and use it to his advantage. But Patrick won’t just try to emulate them, he is very much his own man. Vieira has learned from top managers including Jose Mourinho, Fabio Capello and Arsene Wenger (above) Pep Guardiola stepped up from coaching Barcelona reserves to become the youngest manager to win the Champions League .

Summary: Manuel Pellegrini's position has come under scrutiny at Manchester City . Patrick Vieira is in charge of the champion's Elite Development Squad . The former Arsenal star is well equipped to become a top manager .


The Fulham fans in the Jimmy Steed Stand applauded their team at the final whistle. It was not the victory manager Kit Symons had called for but a point away to Charlton probably secures their future in the Championship next season. They are eight points clear of Millwall and bar a miraculous resurgence from one of the bottom three sides will stay up but the fact relegation is still mathematically feasible for a club that were in the Premier League last season is alarming. A vertiginous decline, just one victory in their last seven games had seen them dragged back into a relegation battle and after a painful 4-1 trouncing by bitter rivals Brentford last week, Symons was looking for a quick response from his players. Johann Gudmundsson celebrates his first-half effort as Charlton come from behind to earn a point . The Icelandic winger is joined by his Charlton teammates as they celebrate his equaliser at The Valley . He got it with Ross McCormack giving them the lead after eight minutes. A superb long ball by Michael Turner found Matt Smith who headed on to the Scotsman to loop the ball over the top of Charlton goalkeeper Stephen Henderson in front of the 1620 travelling fans in the Jimmy Seed stand. The passage of time has clearly not dulled the bad feeling Charlton fans harbour towards Scott Parker. The midfielder, who missed the Brentford game through illness, departed the club more than a decade ago but his every touch of the ball was greeted by a chorus of boos. Not that it seemed to affect him as he dictated the pace of the game in the early stages, feeding striker Smith well. Ross McCormack headed over a stranded Stephen Henderson with just eight minutes played in London . McCormack celebrates his goal in front of the traveling Fulham fans with just eight minutes played . Charlton Athletic: Henderson, Gomez, Ben Haim, Johnson, Fox, Johann Gudmundsson, Cousins, Diarra, Bulot (Eagles 70) Vetokele (Church 79) Watt . Subs: Bikey Amougou, Wiggins, Lennon, Dmitrovic, Lepoint . Fulham: Bettinelli, Hoogland, Burn, Turner, Husband, Parker, Tunnicliffe, Guthrie,(Kacaniklic 68), Kavanagh (Ruiz 68), Smith, McCormack . Subs: Kiraly, Stafylidis, Woodrow, Rodallega, Donnelly . But Charlton hit back with a 16th minute equaliser. Morgan Fox’s cross bounced across the front of goal and Frederic Bulot swung a leg at it but could not connect. It was left for a waiting Johann Gudmundsson to fire his 10th goal of the season into the top right corner. Goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli, who seemed rooted to the spot, wisely dragged a furious James Husband, who seemed to believe the goal offside, from a confrontation with the linesman. Almost the whole stadium thought Gudmundsson had nabbed his second when Igor Vetokele set him up with the whole goal to aim at but the winger contrived to miss, hitting the side netting instead. The second half was low in quality but high in chances. The visitors seemed reenergised after the interval, forcing a save in the 46th minute. Matt Smith found space in the

Summary: Ross McCormack gave Fulham the lead after eight minutes at The Valley . But Johann Gudmundsson leveled the scores less than ten minutes later . Scott Parker was booed on his return to club, 11 years after he left . Share of the points in London leaves Charlton in 11th and Fulham in 20th .


Esa’s Rosetta spacecraft has survived a hair-raising encounter with comet 67P after the probe ran into difficulties during a recent flyby. On Saturday the spacecraft had dipped to within nine miles (14km) of the surface to take a closer look at the jets that are being ejected from its surface. But during the manoeuvre, Rosetta lost sense of where it was due to the amount of dust and gas and was placed into ‘safe mode’, causing it to momentarily lose contact with Earth. The European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft (illustrated) has survived a hair-raising encounter with comet 67P after the probe ran into difficulties during a recent flyby. Rosetta launched into space in 2004 and entered orbit around 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in August 2014 . ‘Not the best month to choose to go dry…’ Rosetta project scientist Dr Matt Taylor quipped on Twitter, as the team back on Earth sweated over the safety of the spacecraft. The problems arose due to Rosetta’s limited vision owing to the amount of material it was flying through. The spacecraft uses two star trackers to work out where it is in space, in addition to a sun sensor, navigation cameras and three laser gyroscopes. Crucially, the star trackers allow Rosetta to know where it is with respect to the sun and Earth, so it can correctly orient its antenna to send and receive signals from ground stations on our planet. The Rosetta probe, which was carrying Philae, launched into space in 2004, using the gravity of Earth and Mars to slingshot its way towards comet 67P. It chased comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko through space for more than ten years, and entered orbit in August 2014. After a four billion mile (6.5 billion km) journey, the probe then successfully released the Philae lander from its grip to land on the comet on 12 November 2014, travelling at 3.3ft (one metre) per second relative to the comet. But when it first made contact with the surface it failed to fire harpoons that would have kept it attached to the comet. This resulted in it bouncing to a height of 0.62 miles (1km) above the comet before again landing on the surface. It then bounced again, but to a much lower altitude. Philae managed to perform more than 90 per cent of its goals before running out of power. Rosetta, meanwhile, is continuing to orbit and study the comet. From data collected by the two proves, Esa said that water on the comet was different to that on Earth - suggesting water on our world came from an asteroid, not a comet. When the star trackers are not working properly, the antenna drifts, causing communications to be temporarily lost. And during the recent flyby, the spacecraft started to mistake comet debris for stars, causing it to lose sight of Earth. The spacecraft autonomously attempted to readjust itself but struggled due to its close proximity to comet 67P. Esa said that ‘hundreds of “false stars” were registered’ and it took nearly 24 hours before the spacecraft could properly start tracking again. During this dramatic

Summary: Esa's Rosetta spacecraft temporarily lost contact with Earth . The problem occurred when flying just nine miles above comet 67P . Comet debris caused the probe to lose track of its position in space . But after a nervy 24 hours, engineers successfully made contact again .

There was no special treatment for Lewis Ferguson at Paul Nicholls’ yard on Thursday morning. The 18-year-old was mucking out the stables as usual, just a cut on the nose to show for the fall which has made him an internet sensation. Ferguson, whose double somersault horror fall from the favourite Merrion Square in the 4.20pm at Wincanton on Wednesday has been watched hundreds of thousands of times online. But he was back riding out and said he was undeterred from getting back in the sadal. ‘It was just a blur,’ he said, ‘I couldn’t work out what had happened until I got back to the weighing room and watched the replay. All the other jockeys asked me if I was alright and stuff, they all watched with me and looked away in horror. It’s about the most impressive fall I’ve seen. Jockey Lewis Ferguson, 18, who survived a spectacular fall from Merrion Square shows off the cut on his nose . Ferguson, whose double somersault horror fall has been watched by hundreds of thousands online . The 18-year-old was mucking out the stables as usual at Paul Nicholls’ yard on Thursday morning . ‘There was nothing I could do to avoid it, you just have to let it take it’s course and hope it’s not a bad one. I’ve just got a cut on the nose so I’ve been very lucky. I got a bit of abuse from the lads and picked up a few hundred twitter followers but it’s all good banter. It won’t stop me getting back on a course. There’s been no special treatment. ‘My parents who live in the Scottish Borders were worried so I gave them a call so they knew I was ok. It’s not going to put me off riding at all I’d like to ride at the Cheltenham Festival and Aintree every year, that’s the ultimate aim. Bit disappointing because he was in front and maybe could have won. Jockey Ferguson hits the fence after his ride stumbles wildly on the approach to the fence at Wincanton . Colliding with the barrier forces the amateur jockey into a spectacular mid-air somersault . Wincanton clerk of the course Barry Johnson called it the worst fall he had ever seen. It was only Ferguson’s fifth race and the first time he had fallen although he has fallen a few times riding out. ‘Hopefully the next time I’m on the front page of the newspaper it will be for winning the Gold Cup or the Grand National.

A British holidaymaker had to be forcibly removed from a Manchester-bound plane in Egypt after he allegedly threatened to kill other passengers. The plane was minutes away from take-off at the airport in the Red Sea city of Hurghada when an unruly passenger began causing problems near the back of the plane, a witness said. Flight TCX2515 was taxiing to the runway at the time, but was forced to return to its stand, where the man was removed by an armed officer. A witness said the unruly passenger was removed by an armed officer, causing a delay for travellers . Tony Penner, a passenger on the plane, told the Manchester Evening News that the disruptive man punched a bus door and uttered threats as travellers were being driven to the plane on Friday night. Mr Penner, 53, said: ‘He was with his partner who was also unsteady. He started shouting “I’ll kill anybody who gets near me on the plane”. ‘It was a shocking thing to hear. We felt threatened. Then he started punching the bus door. He wasn’t a happy chap.’ The man boarded the plane despite the drama on the bus, and he left passengers feeling nervous after causing more problems on board. The drama unfolded after passengers spent time in the Red Sea tourist resort of Hurghada, Egypt . The captain announced that the plane would return to its stand, and passengers applauded when the man – who had a large build and tattoos – was removed, said Mr Penner. He told the Manchester Evening News: ‘As soon as the steps went down an officer with a pistol came on board. ‘He and the pilot chucked the guy off. He was complaining that everyone was picking on him.’ Passengers were delayed for 40 minutes before the plane departed for Manchester without the man on board. A Thomas Cook Airlines spokesperson told MailOnline Travel: ‘We have a zero tolerance policy towards any behaviour on board affecting the safety and welfare of our crew and customers. ‘We'd like to thank those on board for the patience during the short delay to their flight home.' It was unclear whether the man was detained or charged with a crime, and the airline would not reveal whether the man has been banned from its flights. Thomas Cook referred media to Egyptian authorities and the Foreign & Commonwealth Office. MailOnline Travel has contacted the FCO for comment.

The potential domestic auction for Liverpool's Raheem Sterling this summer could decide which of Chelsea, Manchester City or Manchester United lure Gareth Bale from Real Madrid. As first revealed in Football Grapevine last month, Liverpool have put a £50million price tag on Sterling if they opt to sell the 20-year-old. Should Sterling leave for one of the Barclays Premier League's big three, then the other two will focus on trying to persuade Bale to leave Madrid. A potential domestic auction could be sparked for the purchase of Liverpool's Raheem Sterling . Chelsea, Manchester City or Manchester United are among those watching Sterling ahead of the summer . It could decide where Gareth Bale ends up if one club gets Sterling and the other two miss out . It promises to become a tangled transfer web. Bale is, from a playing and commercial point of view, a far 'safer bet' given his proven CV. But his fee of £75m and near £300,000-a-week wages mean his acquisition would restrict other signings under financial fair play guidelines. It's also the case that Bale may not agree to a return to any of the three Premier League clubs who can afford him. Indeed he has indicated he would like to continue at Madrid. But such has been the adverse reaction of many Madrid fans to him this season he may find it difficult to 'tough it out'. And the Spanish club may feel it is a good time to 'cash out'. As it stands Liverpool will not budge from their £100,000-a-week contract offer to England international Sterling, whose advisors believe he is worth about £150,000 in the current market. Liverpool will not budge from their £100,000-a-week contract offer to England international Sterling . Bale (left) pictured during a Real Madrid training session with Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo . Bale's £75m fee and near £300,000-a-week wages mean his signing would restrict clubs under FFP guidelines . The stance of the Liverpool hierarchy, though, is they will not scrap their salary ladder scale for Sterling in the belief he has not yet justified moving up to their existing top bracket of £140,000-a-week that departing Steven Gerrard has been on or Luis Suarez pocketed before leaving for Barcelona. Given that he has two years left on his existing £35,000-a-week contract, the club feel if Sterling will not agree they should cash in, even if means selling to one of the rivals - even United. Argentine Paulo Dybala, dubbed by Palermo president Mauricio Zamparini as 'the new Sergio Aguero', is set to be on his way to the Premier League this summer. The destination depends on the outcome of the Sterling saga but both Liverpool and Arsenal are in for the 21-year-old.

Damning footage has revealed the moment a Florida police officer shouted: 'Get on the f****** ground or you're dead,' moments before he shot a mentally ill man as he was running away. The family of Lavall Hall, released the shocking video which calls into question the Miami Gardens police department's account of the incident on February 15. The clip captured from the police car at the scene shows shell cases flying as a police officer shot the 25-year-old schizophrenic, who was black, on February 15. The police department said the officers were forced to shoot because Hall 'attacked' them with 'deadly force' using the broom - but the video footage appears to show him trying to flee the officers before he was fatally shot. Footage captured from within a police car at the scene show shell cases flying as police officer Eddie Trimino fatally shot schizophrenic 25-year-old Lavall Hall, who was black, outside his home in Miami Gardens . Attorneys for Hall's family released the 19 minutes of dash-cam video yesterday afternoon at a press conference and claim it shows Hall was being chased by police before he was shot at five times. Hall, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, had been released from a mental hospital just one week earlier and was suffering from a psychotic episode when his mother, Catherine Daniels, called police to take him to a mental health unit, reports Fusion. Hall's family have now filed a wrongful death lawsuit in federal court in Miami against the city of Miami Gardens and the two police officers, Peter Ehrlich and Eddo Trimino. According to the complaint Ms Daniels had previously called police for help with her son, and the department was aware of his condition, alleging excessive use of force by police and wrongful death. An officer can be heard shouting 'Get on the f****** ground or you're dead' on the police car footage . Hall, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, had been released from a mental hospital just one week before the shooting . The footage shot from inside the car appears to show Hall running past the car with two officers in pursuit . 'Hall was unable to communicate, clearly did not understand what was going on, and was visibly scared,' it said. Two of the five bullets fired hit Hall Miami Gardens police told reporters in the days after the incident - explaining that Hall had attacked officers with the broom. But Hall's lawyers argue that the police used 'excessive force' after he ran away from them. His lawyers said Hall was holding the broomstick and dressed only in his underpants but the video shows he can be seen running from the police. Ms Daniels said at a news conference yesterday: 'I never thought they [were] going to kill my child, murder my child,' adding she was 'devastated' when she first saw the video. Catherine Daniels, Lavall's mother, is hugged by her cousin Alfonzo Hill at the news conference yesterday . 'He was standing outside just holding the broomstick in his

Summary: Lavall Hall, 25, was suffering psychotic episode when fatally shot by police . His mother had called police to help take mentally ill son to hospital .

While time travel may be something that we've only seen in sci-fi films, some scientists believe it may be commonplace in as few as 85 years. From biometric scanning to iPad-controlled hotel rooms, glimpses into the future of travel have already begun popping up in airports and resorts around the world. Here, MailOnline Travel looks ahead at exactly what holidaymakers can expect from flights and accommodations in the future, and attempts to answer the age old question: when will teleportation become a reality? What does the future of travel hold? Think: biometric scanning, sustainable hotels and personalised bookings . By 2030... In 15 years, digital advancements will have made the discovery, planning and booking of a journey into a seamless and intuitive experience. 'Travel search and booking will be as easy as buying a book on Amazon,' explains Skyscanner's CEO and Co-Founder Gareth Williams. Instead of tapping away at your computer to book flights and accommodations, Global Futurist Daniel Burrus tells Skyscanner that in the future, each of us may have an 'e-agent,' inside a watch or small piece of jewellery, that goes everywhere with us. 'It could have the face, voice and personality of our favourite actor or comedian and appear to use as a 3D hologram image, or inside a virtual environment, at our verbal command,' he explains. The travel experience will become much more personalised in the next few years, including using biometrics . While that seems a bit extreme, it's not outside the realm of possibility that the travel experience will become much more personalised in the next few years. Computers, through analysing our searches online and cross-referencing our preferences, will be able to use predictive algorithms to make tailored suggestions. This predictive software, as it's known, will also likely take into consideration the personal data we post about ourselves on social media when developing detailed itineraries. And when we do jet off, it will be even easier than it is today. The flight-booking site believes that major technological advances will have eliminated the need for check-in lines and desks. Instead, you will be able to drop your bag at automated points in the terminal. Forget having to carry a passport, digital scanning technology will make check-in a seamless process . 'Biometric face recognition software and machine-readable passports - incorporating a digital boarding pass - will mean that clearing customs will take less than a minute, and high-speed laser molecular scanners will security check hand luggage in seconds as you walk past them toward the departure lounge without even breaking your stride,' Steve Tooze, special projects editor at The Future Laboratory tells MailOnline Travel. In fact, we may not even need to wait a decade and a half. At Incheon airport in Seoul, South Korea, for example, departures will soon operate a biometric immigration system, using facial recognition and machine-readable passports, and at Singapore Changi Airport's T4, which is due to open in 2017, many similar technologies will also be utilised. And while we may see the beginning of space travel by 2030, many expect the hotel of

A teenage girl who suffered horrific injuries after being dragged behind a car and left for dead in a gutter has broken her silence. On September 7, 2014, Samantha Giufre, 19, spent months in hospital after being towed behind a vehicle along a suburban street in Casula, south-west of Sydney, before she was abandoned. So far one man has been charged in relation to the violent incident, but police are searching for others they believe were involved. Scroll down for video . Samantha Giufre, 19, suffered multiple fractures to her skull and face, along with bleeding on her brain on September 7, 2014 after being dragged along the street behind a car . CCTV footage released by police shows the moment she was towed behind the car before being found in a gutter on Myall Road in Casula, south west of Sydney on September 7 . 'I just felt destroyed, not like myself,' she told 9News, adding that one of the hardest things she's had to come to terms with is how she now looks. 'I'm blind in one eye now, I have limited vision in the other eye, I have hearing loss in one of my ears, one side of my nose I can't smell out of,' Ms Giufre revealed. The young woman's parents have been by her side since the horrible day, and say her life has been consumed by her recovery for the last six months. 'She's continually at the doctors, having surgeries, her whole life is just consumed with what's happened to her,' Ms Giufre's mother Karen said. Ms Giufre told 9News her life has been 'destroyed' by the violent attack which has left her with permanent disabilities . Her parents Karen (left) and Frank (right) said their daughter's life is now 'consumed' by what happened . One of Ms Giufre's alleged attackers, 18-year-old Basher Hawchar, was supposed to front court on Wednesday but instead sent legal representation . 'I look at Sam and I think that she's been held prisoner, and someone's thrown the key away, and we're just trying to find that key for her,' her father Frank revealed. On Wednesday Ms Guifre fronted court with the hopes of confronting one of her alleged attackers, 18-year-old Basher Hawchar. However he instead sent legal representation, dealing the victim of the senseless crime another blow. On his behalf, Hawchar's lawyer plead not guilty to four charges, including dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm. 'He needs to know how it feels, you know, how I feel,' Ms Guifre told 9News. The young woman has urged anyone else who was in the car to come forward . Last October when Ms Giufre was still in hospital, her parents spoke about their grave concerns that their daughter would have to learn to walk, talk and eat again. Ms Giufre was rushed to Liverpool Hospital in September where she spent time in intensive care after suffering multiple fractures to her skull and face, along with bleeding on her brain. 'We don't know whether she'll talk, whether she'll see. We don't know how

1. Heavy drinking males: Scientists at Sheffield University have identified six different types of obese person (file image) There are six different types of obese person, scientists have today revealed. The distinction, they hope, will allow for tailor-made treatments to help different obese people combat their weight. Researchers at the University of Sheffield analysed people with a body mass index of 30 or more - a recognised measure of obesity. They found obese people fall into one of six categories: . The scientists said their findings suggest that clinicians and policy makers should not target obese people as a whole, rather treat them according to the 'type' of obese person they are. Dr Mark Green, who led the study, said: 'Policies designed to tackle obesity and encourage healthier lifestyles often target individuals just because they are obese. 'But a focus on just the group as a whole is not very efficient. We are all different and different health promotion approaches work for different people. 'Our research showed that those in the groups that we identified are likely to need very different services, and will respond very differently to different health promotion policies. Scroll down for video . 'In the future, we hope that GPs will keep in mind these six groups when offering advice to their patients.' BMI has long been used to measure individuals in terms of their height and weight, but does not account for variation across other factors such as health, demographic and behavioural characteristics. The team at Sheffield looked at health-related variables, including whether individuals reported conditions like fatigue, pain, insomnia, depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or cancer. 2. Young healthy females: The scientists said their findings suggest that clinicians and policy makers should not target obese people as a whole, rather treat them according to the 'type' of obese person they are. The largest cluster was 'younger healthy females' - also the youngest group (file image) 3. The affluent and healthy elderly: This group was the least deprived cluster and had positive health characteristics - although the group included a large proportion with high blood pressure - and above average alcohol consumption (file image) Demographic variables accounted for were age, sex, ethnicity and socioeconomic deprivation, while well-being was assessed by asking people how satisfied they were with their lives on a scale of nought to 10. Whether participants smoked and the number of units of alcohol they consumed in the previous week was also taken into consideration. 4. The physically sick but happy elderly: They had a higher prevalence of chronic health problems including high blood pressure (file image) As was whether or not they engaged in active weight management - going to slimming clubs, for example - and whether they made a conscious effort to eat more healthily. Researchers discovered the largest cluster was 'younger healthy females' - also the youngest group. They were the group most likely to display positive health characteristics, and engaged in some healthy behaviours. 'Heavy drinking males' showed similar characteristics, but consumed a high level of alcohol. They were

It wouldn’t make much of a breakfast, but this tiny egg could give a schoolgirl and her pet hens a place in the Guinness Book of Records. Shannon Hayes, 12, believes one of them has laid the smallest chicken egg in the world. After doing some research on the internet, she thinks its length of 1.8cm – smaller than a 5p coin – shaves two millimetres off the previous title-holder. Shannon said: ‘I’m confident it’s the smallest. It is very tiny and you wouldn’t want it for breakfast.’ Shannon Hayes, centre, believes her pet hen, right, has laid the world's smallest ever egg, left . The tiny egg, left, is only a small fraction of the normal size of the traditional breakfast favourite, right . The tiny egg, which was laid in Capel Iwan, Carmarthenshire, is smaller than a five pence piece, pictured . She keeps seven hens at her family home in Capel Iwan, Carmarthenshire, but she is not sure which laid the tiny egg. Shannon spotted it among the ordinary-sized eggs in her hen coop. Fearful of it being crushed, she immediately took it into the house to be measured. In 2011, an American farmer claimed his hen had laid the world’s smallest chicken egg, measuring 2.1cm long. That was beaten in 2014 by an egg one millimetre smaller laid in Somerset by a hen called Muffin. Meanwhile, Shannon is storing her potential world record-breaker it in the fridge for safe-keeping. Shannon believes that her egg, which measures just 1.8cm in length is 3mm smaller than the current record .

Summary: Shannon Hayes spotted the tiny egg at her home in Carmarthenshire . She rescued it fearing it was going to be crushed by the regular eggs . The 12-year-old measured the egg and discovered it was just 1.9cm long . It is believed the previous record holder was a 2.1cm egg laid in Somerset .
