Dogs can sniff out prostate cancer with 98 per cent reliability, a new study has shown. The research, carried out in Milan, backs up tests carried out by the charity Medical Detection Dogs. Its co-founder Dr Claire Guest said the charity's research found a 93 per cent reliability rate when detecting both prostate and bladder cancer. She hailed the new study, describing the findings as 'spectacular'. Dogs have been found to detect prostate cancer with 98 per cent accuracy when sniffing men's urine samples . The latest research, by the Department of Urology at the Humanitas Clinical and Research Centre in Milan, involved two dogs sniffing the urine of 900 men - 360 with prostate cancer and 540 without. Scientists found that dog one got it right in 98.7 per cent of cases, while for dog two this was 97.6 per cent . They said the dogs are able to detect prostate cancer specific volatile organic compounds in the urine but said an important question remains of how a dog would find it in daily practice. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with more than 40,000 new cases diagnosed every year. Dr Guest said: 'These results are spectacular. They offer us further proof that dogs have the ability to detect human cancer. 'It is particularly exciting that we have such a high success rate in the detection of prostate cancer, for which the existing tests are woefully inadequate.' She said there is currently a 'reluctance to embrace this tested, time-old technology' but dogs can pick up a scent in a dilution of one to a thousand parts. There is no single test for prostate cancer, but the most commonly used are blood tests, a physical examination or a biopsy.

Prostate cancer, pictured, is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with more than 40,000 new cases diagnosed every year . 'Over the years, millions of pounds of NHS funding has been poured into the traditional test methods, and yet there has been little improvement in their reliability,' Dr Guest added. 'This has caused a huge waste of resources, not to mention the distress to the impacted individuals. 'Moreover, the detection dogs provide alternative solution that yields consistently accurate results. If our detection dogs were a machine, there would be huge demand for them.' Medical Detection Dogs, which is based in Milton Keynes, trains specialist canines to detect the odour of human disease. They also train Medical Alert Assistance dogs to help people with life-threatening health conditions go about their daily lives. The research is published in the Journal Of Urology.

Summary: Study in Milan found two dogs identified 98% of prostate cancer cases . They examined urine samples of 900 men - 360 who had cancer . Medical Detection Dogs charity hailed the study as 'spectacular'

Palermo defender Roberto Vitiello hopes the Sicilian outfit can improve its dismal form on the road starting on Sunday at Udinese. The Islanders have not tasted victory away from home since November 2 when they won 2-0 at AC Milan. Mired in a three-game losing streak following last weekend's 2-1 defeat at home to Milan, Palermo are in 11th place and feeling a sense of urgency to turn things around. Roberto Vitiello (left) feels his side need to start winning away from home and ending their poor record . 'We need to keep working hard in order to defend our Serie A status as soon as possible,' Vitiello said to the Italian press. 'We are disappointed not to have collected anything from our last three league games. 'But we must bounce back. Sunday's game at Udinese is important and we will give our all to clinch our second win on the road this season in Friuli.' Palermo, coached by Giuseppe Iachini, have picked up just two points in their last six league games. Udinese are 13th in the standings and one point adrift of Palermo. Mattia Destro (right) fights for the ball with Vitiello during the Italian Serie A football match Palermo vs Milan . After falling victim to bottom-side Parma in midweek, the Friuli side are vulnerable in their own stadium. Udinese have not won in their last four games and coach Andrea Stramaccioni is desperate for a positive reaction from his players. 'Against Parma, we had the wrong approach to the game,' he said. 'My players underestimated Parma and we paid the price. 'We lacked determination and didn't take a shot on goal. 'Now we must turn the page immediately and show against Palermo, the real Udinese.' Udinese were beaten by bottom-side Udinese last time out as they slip closer to the relegation zone . Udinese have struggled to deliver at home and have mustered just one win in their last nine games at Friuli stadium. The hosts must overcome the absence of defender Ivan Piris and midfielder Giampiero Pinzi, both serving a one-match ban. Palermo are without midfielder Edgar Barreto, who is sidelined for three weeks with a muscular injury. Argentinian forward Paulo Dybala, who is Palermo's top scorer with 13 goals, will lead the Rossaneri's attack on Sunday with Franco Vazquez playing in support. Highly-coveted forward Paulo Dybala will lead the line for Palermo as they look to pick up three points .

Summary: Palermo defender Roberto Vitiello must improve their poor away record . The Italian side have failed to win on the road since November 2 . Udinese are also a team in danger of relegation and lost to Parma recently . They boast a less than impressive home record, winning one in nine .

A former footballer who fronted a £30million investment scheme and lived a millionaire's lifestyle is now 'surviving on handouts', a court has heard. Michael McIndoe, who played for Bristol City and Wolverhampton Wanderers, lured fellow footballers into the scheme with promises of a huge 20 per cent return. But the scheme collapsed amid mounting debts and the tricky winger was declared bankrupt in October last year with more than £2million debts. The footballer - who was known as 'Mr Big' in Marbella, where he partied with glamorous girls, is now being chased through the courts by creditors. McIndoe, circled smoking on a cigar, lived a millionaire's lifestyle but is now surviving on handouts .

Scots-born McIndoe dated a string of glamour models, including Helena Fletcher and Emma Frain (pictured) The 35-year-old told a hearing in London he was now surviving on the generosity of 'good friends and family'. He said: 'Since the bankruptcy, my girlfriend gave me some cash in July and I believe the trustee's solicitors are pressing for that money to be paid back. 'I have received some money from friends, around £9,000, and some money from NatWest for overcharging me on an account. 'But I have no income.' He added how he was not claiming Jobseekers' Allowance and said his legal representatives were working without fee. Questioned by barrister Mr Andrew Carruth, on behalf of the trustees of his bankrupt estate, he said he had not bet for two years and that reports of his previous gambling accounts topping £1 million were 'vastly over rated'. He said £1.5 million owed to one creditor had been invested into 'Stamp', the private members London nightclub he launched in 2011, but was later closed.

An Oregon teacher is suing her rural school district over the lingering stress she feels following a surprise active shooter drill that administrators held in 2013. Linda McLean was in her classroom at Pine Eagle Charter School in the tiny town of Halfway in August of that year when a masked man in a hoodie burst in with a gun, lowered it to her head and pulled the trigger. The 56-year-old elementary school teacher had no clue it was a drill to test her 'preparedness' or that the gun was loaded with blanks. 'You're dead,' the shooter said. Shooter drill: Pine Eagle Charter school in Halfway, Oregon was the scene of a surprise 'active shooter' drill that's left teacher Linda McLean with post-traumatic fears years later . In fact, she believed for a several moments that she would soon die. Now, years after learning of the 'harebrained scheme,' Oregon Live reports that McLean is still traumatized by the event. 'McLean could not figure out what was going on,' reads the lawsuit. 'She felt very confused. Her heart was racing. She walked out of the classroom and saw a pistol lying on the ground . 'She wondered if she was really shot and was going to die.' Class was out of session that day and school officials had warned emergency services in the area not to show up should any teachers call 911. They also ran checks on all the teacher to make sure none of them had concealed weapons permits, should they decide to fight back. The two masked 'intruders' stormed a room where several teachers had gathered. 'It was shocking,' teacher Dollie Beck admitted at the time, but 'it heightened my awareness about what's around me.' But well afterwards, says the complaint, McLean's awareness was possibly too heightened. 'She could not shake the event but continued to relive it and try to make sense of it, . 'Ms. McLean could not sleep, and remained anxious and vigilant. When she drifted off to sleep, she experienced nightmares and sweating.' Doctors diagnosed McLean with post-traumatic stress disorder and urged her to return to the school as a form of desensitization. However, 'when she returned she was short of breath, anxious, emotionally distressed, and had to leave. She has not returned to the school building since.' Now McLean wants reparations 'for her involuntary separation from employment, her medical and psychological treatment, and the loss of retirement contributions and fringe benefits.' She is suing members of the school board, the masked safety officer who ambushed her, school administrators and the alarm company that services the school for punitive damages and attorney fees.

Summary: Linda McLean was in her elementary school classroom in tiny Halfway, Oregon in 2013 when she was surprised by a man in a mask with a gun .

Since it was revealed that Andreas Lubitz – the co-pilot who purposefully crashed Germanwings Flight 9525, killing 150 people – had been treated for psychiatric illness, a debate has ensued over whether privacy laws regarding medical records should be less strict when it comes to professions that carry special responsibilities. It has been widely argued that Germany's privacy laws were to blame for the tragedy. The Times, for example, ran an article with the headline: 'German obsession with privacy let killer pilot fly.' Similarly, another article published in TIME said: 'German privacy laws let pilot 'hide' his illness from employers.' While Dirk Fischer, German lawmaker and the transport spokesman for the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), called for airlines to have mandatory access to pilots' medical records, Frank Ulrich Montgomery, president of the German Medical Association (BÄK), disagreed. Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, who purposefully crashed Germanwings Flight 9525, killing 150 people, had been treated for a psychiatric illness, it later emerged. The discovery sparked a debate over whether airlines should be given greater access to pilots' medical records . Mr Montgomery believes that current laws are appropriate, since aviation doctors are already relieved of their duties of confidentiality if they think a pilot could put other people's lives at risk. If Lubitz's doctor did not alert Germanwings, it must have been because Lubitz did not seem like a threat. There are two arguments for why Lubitz's doctor did the right thing by not disclosing Lubitz's depression to his employer. First, functional doctor-patient relationships depend on trust. If confidentiality between patients and doctors is breached, patients will no longer trust their doctors. And a lack of trust will lead (at least some) patients to hide some of their symptoms or refrain from seeking medical attention altogether for fear of bad consequences, such as stigmatisation and work-related penalties. More dangerous than a pilot with a mental illness – or any number of other professions that carry the responsibility of a great many lives – is that one with a mental illness who will not seek treatment because he does not trust his doctor. For these reasons, philosopher Kenneth Kipnis goes even further. The passenger jet crashed in Seyne-les-Alpes, France while en route from Barcalona to Dusseldorf. All 150 people on board were killed on impact . He argues that confidentiality should be 'far closer to an absolute obligation that it has generally taken to be' and that doctors should honour confidentiality even in cases where the patient might harm a third party. If patients come to doctors for help, doctors have a chance at avoiding a possible catastrophe. Strict German privacy laws which prevented doctors treating Andreas Lubitz from telling his airline about his 'suicidal tendencies' were introduced as a consequence of the Nazis. The Germanwings pilot had been forced to stop his training because of severe depression and had received psychotherapy for several years before last week's Alps disaster. But German law meant it was left entirely up to him to volunteer his mental health problems to his employer, something he failed to do with

Summary: Andreas Lubitz crashed Germanwings Flight 9525 into the French Alps, killing himself as well as the other 149 people on board the flight . It has since emerged Lubitz had been treated for psychiatric illness . News has triggered a debate over whether airlines should have mandatory access to all pilots' medical records, to try and prevent a similar tragedy . Carissa Veliz is a philosophy graduate from Oxford University and is writing her dissertation on the subject of privacy .


Luke Shaw admitted he has struggled to cope with the demands of playing for Manchester United after he returned to the team against Chelsea. Shaw has started seeing a psychologist in recent weeks as he comes to terms with his £28million move from Southampton to Old Trafford in the summer. The left back, who had a decent game on his return to the team at Stamford Bridge, said: 'I am still young and coming to the biggest club in the world hasn't been easy for me. Manchester United left back Luke Shaw (right) chases the ball ahead of Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic (left) Shaw (right) tussles with Chelsea forward Eden Hazard (left) during the Premier League match on Saturday . Shaw admits that he has struggled to live up to his £28million price tag since joining Manchester United . 'I wouldn't say it has been a hard three weeks but it has been a three weeks that I have been able to learn a lot more about myself, so it has been a nice three weeks in that respect and good to get on the pitch again.' Shaw claims he had a minor back injury when he was substituted at half-time against Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Old Trafford last month, but he was left out of the team by Louis van Gaal for the next four games. Shaw added: 'He has two sides to him, but he is genuinely a really nice guy and a great manager. 'You have seen what he has turned United into in recent weeks but that is because there is a really focused side, where you have to give 100 per cent in every training session and game and be focused all the time. 'If you don't give that, he won't play you and that's what he is like.' The 19-year-old has played 19 times in all competitions for United this campaign, after featuring in twice as many matches for Southampton last season. 'I haven't been playing and there have been a lot of negative comments about me,' he said. 'It is something that isn't nice and I've tried to ignore it but hopefully this is the start of me coming back. 'I saw a comment the other day saying I was taken off at half-time against Arsenal because I wasn't fit enough, but that's not true at all. 'This is coming from me and I know what the manager pulled me off for and it was not for my fitness because I could have carried on in the game.' Shaw (right), during his Southampton days, prepares to tackle Tottenham winger Andros Townsend (left) While at Southampton, Shaw (left) runs with the ball ahead of Hull City's Paul McShane (right) Mauricio Pochettino brought the best out of Shaw at St Mary's last season, and there was a real sense of paternal warmth between manager and player.

Summary: Luke Shaw joined Manchester United from Southampton for £28m . The young English defender feels he has struggled to live up to his valuation at the club so far and is seeing a psychologist . Shaw has played only 19 games for United this season .

The principal of a school in Canberra has been suspended after it was revealed that an autistic boy was locked in a metal cage. It was announced yesterday an investigation was underway after it emerged a 10-year-old autistic bot was put in a 2m by 2m structure by his teachers at a Canberra school. The cage was specifically designed for him to as a 'withdrawal space' while in class. Scroll down for video . The cage was specifically designed as a 'withdrawal space' for the 10-year-old autistic boy. ACT Education MInister Joy Burch (pictured) said it is a horrifying situation . The Minister said an investigation into the incident is underway.'This structure could not be deemed acceptable in any way shape or form, in any of our public education schools, hence it was withdrawn,' she said . The principal has been removed from the school and two teachers with expertise in disability education have been assigned to the school. The structure was in place from March 10 to March 27, according to ACT Education Minister Joy Burch. Shadow Education Minister Kate Ellis said the mistreatment of students with a disability was 'shocking and deeply disturbing'. 'The abuse or neglect of students with disability is absolutely unacceptable,' Ms Ellis said. 'All students – including those with disability – deserve to be recognised as learners and supported to achieve their best,' she said. 'As a society, we have a responsibility to ensure our schools are safe and caring environments for all students, at all times.' It was also revealed that the school only removed the cage when they were ordered to do so by the ACT Education Department after they received a complaint from the boy's parents. Ms Burch said words could not describe her disappointment and horror at the situation. The Minister also said an investigation into the incident is underway. 'This structure could not be deemed acceptable in any way shape or form, in any of our public education schools, hence it was withdrawn,' she said.

'I have also made assurances through the school executive and through our support teams that the child and the family involved is given the utmost support over this time.' Ms Burch said she was 'very angry and very disappointed' with the incident and said the cage had no place in a classroom. ACT Education Directorate Director-General Diane Joseph (pictured) said the 'confronting' structure was 'entirely inappropriate and unacceptable' The issue came to light after a complaint was made to the Children and Young People's Commissioner about the cage and the name of the school cannot be revealed due to privacy reasons. ACT Education Directorate Director-General Diane Joseph said the 'confronting' structure was 'entirely inappropriate and unacceptable'. 'The space was basically a fenced-in structure inside a classroom,' Ms Joseph said. 'The structure was built for one particular student. 'The decision to erect such a structure raises so many questions. I have asked for the investigation to be

Ricky Hatton’s former trainer has been charged with sexually assaulting a girl under the age of 16. Bob Shannon, 59, helped prepare Hatton for his comeback fight against Vyacheslav Senchenko in November 2012, which the former two-weight world champion lost and promptly retired. The Manchester-based trainer’s stable includes Hatton’s brother, Matthew, the European welterweight champion, and fighters who have won British and European titles.

The larger-than-life character went on to win the welterweight world title, under the tutelage of long-term trainer Billy Graham. Hatton’s weight fluctuations between fights eventually caught up with him and he lost super-fights against Floyd Mayweather in 2007 and Manny Pacquiao two years later, before retiring for the first time. He turned to Shannon to guide his comeback in 2012 but the Senchenko defeat was their only fight together. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Everyone is watching Valencia’s 19-year-old left back Jose Luis Gaya with Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea hoping to snatch him from under Real Madrid’s nose this summer. Sportsmail's Pete Jenson takes a look at the Spain under 21 defender. Why are English clubs so keen? His buy-out clause is currently set at £13.5m. When you consider that Luke Shaw – of a similar age and potential – cost £27m it would be silly not to be interested; although there would be also be reservations about his suitability to the Premier League. Jose Luis Gaya (right) in action for Valencia during a La Liga match with Sevilla earlier this season . Reservations? He flies forward very much in the style of Jordi Alba and Juan Bernat. But those two left-backs who came before him at Valencia are in sides that allow them to play at times as auxiliary wingers – one at Barca and the other for Pep Guardiola at Bayern. There would be more defensive duties in England and he would be tested in the air. He has plenty of spring and good technique but at just 5ft 7ins it is not his strong point. Basically, you’re saying he can’t defend… . No, not at all. He is lightning fast and that enables him to recover position very quickly as well as correct his own, or his team-mates’ mistakes. He is also tenacious in the tackle – and aggressive enough to come out on top against bigger players. And he is 19 so a coach such as Mourinho would be able to improve him defensively. But what is indisputable is that his natural inclination is to attack. Gaya is an attack-minded left-back who likes to get forward at every opportunity . And he is very effective going forward? Much like the aforementioned Bernat and Alba, and Liverpool’s Alberto Moreno, he grew up playing as a winger before gradually been moved back to full-back. He’s not just an overlapper, he’s very good off of both feet and can make runs inside to play through-balls or shoot. He also played as central striker before being moved wide and as an 11-year-old whose idol was David Villa, he scored 60 goals one season in Valencia’s academy. Spain already seem to be well-stocked at left-back so will he make it to the senior first team? He has represented his country at every level since under-16s and has tended to benefit every time Juan Bernat has moved up an age category, stepping into his place. He is currently first choice for the Under-21s. Of course at senior level everyone stops moving up and as good as he is it will be hard for him to shift Alba and Bernat ahead of France 2016. Gaya slides in on Atletico Madrid midfielder Arda Turan during last month's match in Madrid . Does he want to leave Valencia? He has supported the club all his life. Hour-long trips from his home in Alicante to train with them since age 11 have helped ingrain that affection but there is a reason

Summary: Gaya has been linked with a number of big clubs in Spain and England . Real Madrid, Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea could fight it out . Valencia left-back, 19, has a buy-out clause in his contract of just £13.5m . He has been impressive all season for the La Liga club . The attack-minded Gaya has been capped up to under 21 level for Spain .


Everything they say about the Maldives is true. The sea is breathtakingly cerulean blue, the sand as soft as flour. The air is so clear it feels like there might be a fourth dimension. The view from the sea plane is like a turquoise lava lamp as lagoons meet the ocean with swirls and circles of staggering beauty. And then, just as we start our descent to the little resort of Niyama, in the Dhaalu Atoll, a 40-minute seaplane flight from the capital Malé, two yellow turtles swim sturdily towards a reef. Sand as soft as flour and cerulean sea: Penny is hard pushed to find fault with her week in the Maldives . At the jetty, smiling staff give us cool towels and whisk us to our new home for a week - a superlative beachfront studio where a huge, modern sitting room looks out on to an infinity pool, a strip of brilliant white sand and that ridiculously blue sea. Look the other way and stepping stones lead through green foliage to a table and chairs while to one side is an outside shower surrounded by banana plants. Frankly, the place is bigger than my flat. It's hardly surprising the Maldives have been on the top ten of honeymoon destinations for years. You could easily spend much of your time getting all hot, bothered and arduous in the splendour of your well-appointed villa. But there is much more to do than gaze at sumptuousness. Obviously, with miles of sea to play in, you can swim, snorkel, canoe, scuba dive and sail. There is also a high-tech games room where you can learn or practice golf, shooting, tennis or whatever. Essentially, though, you're here to relax. The days unwind quietly for Penny, with snorkelling, visits to the spa and walks around the island . We take a boat about a third of a mile offshore to the sensational music venue SUBSIX, which is six metres (20ft) under the sea. As the sun sets, we have cocktails at Edge, the restaurant above. Light spills on to the man-made coral reef. Stars dapple the night sky. A slight breeze ruffles the balmy air. 'It's like the set of a Bond film,' says my rapt companion. 'We need someone stroking a white cat to say, "Here's your mojito, Mr Bond. I expect you to die. Of happiness." ' Edge's executive chef (an Aussie named Geoff Clark) serves up exquisite food. I've never had an amuse bouche which amused the bouche so thoroughly. Basil mousse, coconut caviar and a salmon square. I could have eaten the plate. Eleven hours later, it's off along the sandy paths to breakfast. Wow. The selection is amazing, from miso soup and curry to steamed vegetables, rice pudding and fruit. A sailing trip on a dhoni, an old Maldivian boat (left) is the icing on the cake. Even the fruit bats are happy(right) Actually, I'm not going to mention the food any more. Suffice to say that not only will you not starve or suffer from lack of variety, you

An amazing map revealed by Nasa has shown where lightning occurs most on Earth. The map reveals average yearly counts of lightning flashes per square kilometre from 1995 to 2013. And the results show that the highest amounts of lightning flashes occur in the far eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and Lake Maracaibo in northwestern Venezuela. Scroll down for video . The map above shows the average yearly counts of lightning flashes per square kilometer from 1995 to 2013. Areas with the fewest number of flashes each year are grey and purple; areas with the largest number of lightning flashes - as many as 150 per year per square kilometer (0.4 square miles) - are bright pink. The Democratic Republic of Congo was found to have the most over the period . The map was created using data from Nasa’s Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite, and the Orbview-1/Microlab satellite. In the map, the areas with the largest number of flashes - up to 150 per year per square kilometre (0.4 square miles) - are shown in bright pink. The areas with the least are grey and purple. According to the satellite observations, lightning occurs more often over land than it does over oceans. And it also seems to happen more often closer to the equator. The higher frequency over land is because solid earth absorbs sunlight and heats up faster than water, so there is greater atmospheric instability - leading to the formation of storms. And Nasa’s Dr Daniel Cecil, a member of the Global Hydrology and Climate Centre’s lightning team, said the data also shows interesting trends. According to the satellite observations, lightning occurs more often over land than it does over oceans. Shown here is a passing storm over the African countryside with forked lightning on 10 October 2013 . The higher frequency over land is because solid earth absorbs sunlight and heats up faster than water, so there is greater atmospheric instability - leading to the formation of storms. Shown is a storm hitting the city of Tripoli in Libya . Researchers have found that regardless of where you are in the world, lightning bolts are at their most powerful at 8am. This is because there are fewer particles in the atmosphere overnight, so it takes a more powerful charge to overcome the extra distance between these particles and release the bolt of power. For example, a large number of flashes were seen during the month of May in the Brahmaputra Valley of far eastern India. The heating and weather patterns are unstable and changeable at that time-just before the onset of the monsoon, which brings plenty of rain but much less lightning. In contrast, locations in Central Africa and Northwestern South America have large amounts of lightning throughout the entire year. Dr Cecil noted that more years of data has not necessarily brought notable big-picture differences when compared to earlier maps. ‘The longer record allows us to more confidently identify some of these finer details,' he said. 'We can examine seasonality, and variability through the day and year-to-year.’

Summary: A Nasa map has revealed which parts of the world experience the most flashes of lightning ever year . Democratic Republic of Congo and Lake Maracaibo in northwestern Venezuela experienced the most . According to the satellite observations, lightning occurs more often over land than it does over oceans . And lightning also seems to happen more often closer to the equator, owing to the hotter temperatures .

A spokesperson for the Irish Aviation Authority told MailOnline Travel: 'The IAA is currently investigating the incident in question. 'In general access to the cockpit is restricted to operational staff, including staff passengers, provided they are known to the Commander.'

Fernando Torres has played with some great players over the years but the on-loan Atletico Madrid striker regards Steven Gerrard as the best. Torres spent three-and-half-seasons at the English club and struck up a close friendship with the former England captain, even returning to Anfield to play in his charity match against Jamie Carragher's side. Since leaving the club in 2011, Torres has never quite found his best form - suffering a miserable time with Chelsea before signing for AC Milan and returning to Atletico on loan. He has scored four times since heading back to Spain in January. Fernando Torres (left) and Steven Gerrard became good friends during his successful career at Liverpool . He told Marca Plus Magazine: 'Out of all the great players I have played with, Gerrard, for me, is the best. 'But he is more than that - he is a good friend who, as a captain, is always there for his players. 'I know what Liverpool means to him, so yes I would have loved to see my friend finish his final season with a trophy, but it was not to be. 'He has had so much success for Liverpool that I am sure the final game is going to be very emotional for him and the fans.' Torres' new side travel to rivals Real Madrid for a place in the Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, knowing that they haven't lost to their neighbours in the previous six matches. The 31-year-old has struggled for form since leaving the club and has only scored four goals for Atletico .

A recent college graduate diagnosed with genital herpes is stepping into the limelight in attempt to destigmatize STIs. Ella Dawson, a recent graduate of Wesleyan University who resides in New York City, was diagnosed with herpes two years ago and says she's been dropping the 'herpes bomb' about six months after she had her first outbreak. In her essay for Women's Health Mag, Dawson recalls meeting a boy at a party who offered her a sip of his beer. I have herpes: Ella Dawson has genital herpes and she is sharing her story so that less people with the virus can feel the guilt and shame that sometimes accompanies the common skin condition . 'Don’t worry,' she remembers him saying. 'I don’t have herpes or anything.' His words hit a sore spot for her and she felt compelled to share her sexual health status. '"That’s funny,’ I said, with as warm a smile as I could manage. ‘Yeah, that’s really funny. Because I have genital herpes.’ His face crumbled. Not because I grossed him out — I could practically see the wheels turning in his brain as he realized he’d made an ignorant joke at someone else’s expense. The guy started apologizing profusely,"' she wrote in her essay. Dawson said that even though herpes is often the bud of the joke in popular culture, it's a real issue affecting at least one in six Americans. Dawson said that she felt empowered after telling someone she had herpes because it humanized the STI in a way that made it less of a stigma. 'I had seen in the flesh what a simple "I have herpes" could do when said fearlessly, without shame,' she wrote. 'Because when a real person — a woman you know and respect — casually mentions having herpes, it stops being a punchline and starts being someone's reality.' Don't strain: Dawson says that people who have herpes should not feel 'dirty or wrong' and should be aware that the virus is manageable and more common than people would expect . According to the CDC about 17 per cent of people ages 14-19 have genital herpes caused by HSV2. That percentage is only of people who choose to get tested and the actual number of people who have the virus is likely much higher. Even having sex with a condom does not protect someone from the highly contagious virus that only needs skin to skin contact to spread, even if there are no sores present. The Washington Post reports that according to an advocacy group called Project Accept Herpes didn't become a stigma until after the 1970s. '[Herpes] was merely a cold sore in an unusual place until the 1970s,' the group says on their web site. Dr. Peter Anthony Leone, medical director of the North Carolina HIV/STD Prevention and Control Branch told The Washington Post that the stigmatization of the virus was fueled by conservatives after the 'free love era.' Courage: Ella Dawson has the courage to tell people about her virus because it will humanize the problem for sufferers

Summary: Ella Dawson, 22, a recent graduate of Wesleyan is revealing her genital herpes status in an attempt to destigmatize the STI . One in six Americans have genital herpes and that number is just among people who have been tested . 'When a real person, a woman you know and respect, casually mentions having herpes, it stops being a punchline and starts being someone's reality,' Dawson said .

'I have a cousin who was very ill with MS he's 60, and the first time he actually met her he said 'Charlotte treats me like a normal person'. 'She loved her prom dress, she chose it and I bought it a year ago. It made her so happy and she loved the photograph of her in it. 'Sadly it wasn't the first epileptic seizure. She was on medication but something has gone wrong, but we don't know what yet, we can just assume what's happened at the moment. 'It hadn't caused any problems until that terrible Saturday when I found her in the bath.' And friends took to social media to pay tribute to Miss Blakeway, where a special memorial page has been set up on Facebook.

A Frenchman was in custody tonight suspected of killing his British expat neighbour and throwing his body down a well in rural Normandy. David King, 70, and originally from east London, had not been seen for six months in the picturesque hamlet of Pierres, in the Calvados department, south west of Caen. He retired there from his job as an engineer in Britain some 15 years ago. On October 27, he went to tea with friends living close to his home, and is thought to have got into an argument with one, aged 28. Disappeared: David King, 70, had been missing for six months from his home in Normandy, France . Carole Etienne, the Caen prosecutor, said: 'He admitted there was an argument, and to putting the body in the well. In the coming hours we will try to learn more about what caused the death.' Ms Etienne added: 'We're no longer following a missing person's enquiry, but one for manslaughter because of the presence of unusual clues. 'Inconsistent explanations' and DNA analysis all led investigators to 'suspect someone in connection with a killing', said Ms Etienne. 'He has not yet explained the circumstances of the death,' said Ms Etienne. I have the before, I have the after, I don't have the in-between.' Mr King had been living in France for 15 years . Ms Etienne said the suspect had not yet been identified publicly. On Wednesday police sniffer dogs were taken to Mr King's hamlet, and found his corpse at the bottom of the 12ft well. Mr King lived alone, but regularly kept in touch with family, including grandchildren in the UK, said another source close to the investigation. It is believed he has in son in Brighton, East Sussex and a daughter in Australia, who French police initially thought he was visiting after his disappearance last year. He was known to have a heart condition, and there were concerns that he had travelled away without his medication. Other theories included suicide, but his family did not believe it, as they had been looking forward to seeing him at Christmas. It was also suggested that he might have gone to see his daughter in Australia, but this was ruled out too because a passport was found at his home. International organisations including the Lucie Blackman Trust were involved in trying to solve the mystery, posting pictures of Mr King online. His disappearance 'caused a great deal of fear' among British expats living in the area - one which is very beautiful but also extremely isolated, said the source. In February, Mr King's car, a Renault Scenic was found parked in Vire, a nearby town, but there was no sign of any body. A friend told The Independent: 'We had grown used to the idea that we would never see Dave again but this is the worst possible outcome to the mystery.' Mr King was a keen gardener who chose to settle in an area popular with older British expatriates. Autopsy results are expected to be announced on Friday. Discovery: Police had

Lawrence Dallaglio views the poor performance of English clubs in Europe as a 'crisis' for French rugby rather than evidence of a gulf in class between the Aviva Premiership and Top 14. Saracens are the nation's solitary representative in the semi-finals after Bath, Northampton and Wasps tumbled out of the Champions Cup over the weekend, scraping through 12-11 against Racing Metro. Most alarming of the defeats was Clermont's spellbinding 37-5 rout of reigning Premiership champions and runaway leaders Saints, whose director of rugby Jim Mallinder admitted the result points to a chasm between the English and French leagues.

Bosch jumps into the arms of Rhys Gills after his successful kick as Hodgson joins the celebrations . Scenes of elation as Saracens clinch victory with the last play of the match against Racing Metro 92 . The divide will only grow as more of the southern hemisphere's finest talent head for the Top 14, as typified by Will Genia's decision to snub Bath for Stade Francais and Dan Carter's vast £1.4million salary when he joins Racing Metro after the World Cup. While former England captain Dallaglio regards the influx of household names as exciting for France's club game, he believes it is a disaster for the national side who have not finished above fourth place in the RBS 6 Nations since 2011. Clermont's Wesley Fofana runs with the ball during the European Rugby Champions Cup match . 'Last weekend's results don't mean there's a crisis in English rugby, rather that the French clubs have more strength in depth,' Dallaglio said. 'I don't think there's a huge difference in class between the English and French leagues - the Northampton result was a one off. 'In fact I'd argue that what we're seeing is a crisis in French rugby. I see players who are outstanding for their clubs - guys like Wesley Fofana and Maxime Machenaud - not playing well for France.

'There is something going dramatically wrong in French rugby because while they're happy to attract the biggest and best foreign names to their club game, they're doing so at the expense of their national side. 'There's a balance to be struck and we've got it right in England, Ireland and Wales, but in France it's totally out of balance.' Fofana was mesmerising against Northampton yet he was eclipsed by former England full-back Nick Abendanon, whose debut season at Clermont has been a roaring success and prompted calls for an end to his international exile.

Clinton Jackson, 25, was jailed for 18 years for targeting the pensioners in their home . A gang of thugs who battered an 81-year-old woman with a metal bar as they ransacked her home were jailed for a total of 44 years. Jermaine Kellman, 29, Marvin Sempler, 30, Clinton Jackson, 25, and Darren Lewis, 34, targeted the couple in their 80s after they were tipped off that money was kept in their home in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. Verna Fisher, then 81, awoke in total darkness in the early hours of 31 July last year confronted by four men wearing white balaclavas and gloves. She tried to cry out for help, but Lewis had his hand clasped over her mouth while demanding money, the Old Bailey heard. Mrs Fisher was thrown off the bed while the burglars took her purse containing £250 and a mobile phone from under her pillow. But the men continued to demand more money before Lewis struck the pensioner twice with a metal bar, leaving her covered in blood, prosecutor Philip Evans said. Her bed-ridden husband Mortimer, who was 85, was sleeping in another room and woke with a man standing over him, but was powerless to help his wife. The couple were so traumatised by the terrifying ordeal that they had to leave their home. Mrs Fisher now lives with her daughter, while Mr Fisher sadly passed away in October 2014. There were gasps from the public gallery as Jackson was sentenced to 18 years imprisonment and brothers Kellman and Sempler were each handed 13-year jail terms. Lewis will be sentenced later this month. Judge Steven Gullick said offences of violence committed at night in the homes of the elderly and vulnerable must be met with significant custodial sentences. ‘As a direct result of this burglary Mr and Mrs Fisher had to leave their home. They no longer felt safe there. ‘They have never and will never return. Sadly Mr Fisher died in October 2014, Mrs Fisher now lives with her daughter,’ the judge said. The court heard a cousin of Sempler and Kellman, who had worked for the Fishers as a cleaner, told the brothers that the couple kept cash in their home. Brothers Jermaine Kellman, right, and Marvin Sempler, left, were each handed 13-year jail terms . Judge Gullick said: ‘Armed with a metal bar and each wearing masks you forced entry into the Fishers’ home in the early hours of the morning. ‘Mrs Fisher, aged 81, was asleep in her bedroom. Mr Fisher, who was 85 and had been bed-ridden for a number of years, was asleep in what was nominally the living room of that house. ‘He was quite unable to do anything by way of protecting his wife.’ The four men went into Mrs Fisher’s bedroom, where she usually slept with the light on, and turned the light off. ‘You went their because you understood that was where the cash was,’ the judge told them. ‘The four of you surrounded her bed and she woke up to find four men, wearing masks

Summary: Gang targeted home of Vera Fisher, 81, and her bed-ridden husband, 85 . They were tipped off the OAPs kept money in their Hertfordshire home . Clinton Jackson, 25, was jailed for 18 years at the Old Bailey . Jermaine Kellman, 29, and Marvin Sempler, 30, were each given 13 years .
