When Ulster confirmed the audacious signing of All Black wing Charles Piutau this week, the scale of their transfer coup was illustrated by the complaints emanating from New Zealand. ‘I’m extremely disappointed he’s going,’ said Steve Hansen, coach of the world champions, having learned that the 23-year-old had rejected a new deal with the Blues and NZRU in favour of a season in Belfast, in 2016-17. His views were echoed, more robustly, by commentators and fans alike. That might not be the end of the short-term Kiwi exodus, despite Jerome Kaino’s decision to stick around in favour of a shot at the Lions in 2017. Charles Piutau rejected a new deal with the Blues and NZRU in favour of a season in Belfast . Fly-half Colin Slade is thought to be deciding between a move to Toulon or Pau in France – while the latter club have already landed Conrad Smith. The prospect of piles of Euros and a gathering of elite players from around the world makes the Top 14 league the destination du jour, for southern stars seeking a stint abroad. What makes the Piutau deal so eye-catching is that it is a bold endorsement of Ulster’s ambition and also a boost to the wider Celtic game, below Test level. That boost is much-needed, because there are simmering problems – as exposed and bemoaned by Leinster’s head coach Matt O’Connor last weekend. The Australian was infuriated by the softly-softly stance of Ireland coach Joe Schmidt, whose final say on release of Test players meant he was forced to rest a raft of leading lights for the Pro 12 clash with leaders Glasgow. Alun Wyn Jones can put his body on the line for Ospreys and Wales . ‘It hurts the league,’ said the Australian, which is absolutely true. The Pro 12 has a credibility issue, due to the continuing absence of so many Irish stars from so many matches. While player welfare is quite rightly prioritised, there is a feeling that the national management go too far on occasions. No wonder the Welsh regions were so keen to align themselves with the Aviva Premiership clubs during the European rebellion last year. A leading figure such as Alun Wyn Jones gives body and soul to the Ospreys week after week, but still found the energy to face down the more rested Irish in Cardiff during the Six Nations. He and so many others in Wales would enhance the Premiership. If the Irish cannot fully commit to a league – making it a fitting stage for Piutau’s class – they could play club rugby at home to sharpen up for European combat with their provinces. Scrap the LV Cup and bring the regions into an expanded Premiership. Job done. Wasps forward Hughes was clumsy, not reckless . Wasps players were incensed by the three-game ban handed to their No 8, Nathan Hughes, for the collision which left George North unconscious last Friday night, and their angst is understandable. The big Fijian was clumsy, but no more, by failing to move in time

Summary: Capture of Charles Piutau is a bold endorsement of Ulster's ambition . Leinster were forced to rest Irish stars for Pro 12 clash with Glasgow . Nathan Hughes did not deserve ban for clumsy challenge on George North .


Police are investigating the theft of about $70,000 worth of bull semen from a farm in southern Minnesota. Mower County Sheriff Terese Amazi said farmer Daniel Weness, of LeRoy, reported on Tuesday that a storage canister with vials of bull semen was taken from his unlocked barn. The canister was worth about $500, and the vials of semen were worth from $300 to $1,500 apiece. Scroll down for video . About $70,000 worth of bull semen was stolen from a farm in southern Minnesota sometime between April 1 and April 7 . The Semen, stolen from Daniel Weness's farm (pictured) was taken from an unlocked barn. A $500 canister held vials of semen worth between $300 and $1,500 each . The theft happened sometime between April 1 and 7. The man said the only time he and his hired hand were away from the farm was on Easter Sunday, according to the Austin Daily Herald. Police have no suspects. Chief Deputy Mark May said that there is a market for bull semen because it helps farmers on transportation costs of putting a bull and a cow in the same pen to breed. 'A lot of people purchase bid on it or purchase it instead of transporting their animals to and from a site,' he said. 'They can just purchase a vial of bull semen and inseminate their cow and I guess it's just more reliable that way.' Mark May, chief deputy of the Mower County Sheriff's Office said that there is a market for bull semen because it helps farmers reduce transportation costs of animals . Frozen semen can live for many years, often outliving the bull it originally came from, according to the Washington Post. 'A lot of farmers these days use artificial insemination to increase genetic diversity within their herds,' Linnay Yarger, an agriculture teacher at Austin High School told KAAL. 'The range in value depends on the bull it comes from,' she added. 'Some genetic qualities are more highly sought after than others, so the higher priced semen is coming from maybe an award winning bull or a quality that is sought after.' Welness said he has about 80 animals on his farm.

Breast cancer patients may be spared chemotherapy thanks to new tests that pinpoint genetic 'markers' Breast cancer patients may be spared chemotherapy thanks to new tests that pinpoint genetic 'markers' in the tumour and determine its aggressiveness. After surgery, the cancer cells are sent to a lab where they are screened, and women can be told within days whether they have a high or low risk of the disease returning. For some women, the test can accurately tell if the risk is as low as five per cent, which is as good as if not better than the odds for those who have chemotherapy. The majority of women who have breast cancer are routinely given the gruelling drug treatment following removal of the tumour to prevent recurrence. Although the medication kills off cancer cells, the side effects – including complete hair loss, nausea, sickness, weight gain or loss, and extreme fatigue – can be difficult to live with. For some women, the prospect of chemotherapy is more daunting than the surgery itself. But experts have long-believed that the risk of cancer recurrence for certain women is a lot less than for others, and that for some, chemotherapy may not be necessary. If the newest of the tests, called EndoPredict, shows a low score, patients can opt not to have chemotherapy. Most of the tests are available only privately and cost about £2,500, although breast specialists hope they may soon become properly available on the NHS. Surgeon Hemant Singhal said: 'I think there is a good case for the NHS to use this test on the basis that the cost is balanced out by savings in not giving chemotherapy.' Professor Kefah Mokbel, consultant breast surgeon at St George's Hospital, London, said: 'With this test we can help patients make an informed choice, whereas in the past we have just given chemotherapy to almost everyone.' Becca Cornford, a 49-year-old mother of three aged 11, six and four, was recovering from being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer last year only to then discover that she had cancer in her other breast. The majority of women who have breast cancer are routinely given the gruelling drug treatment following removal of the tumour to prevent recurrence . She said: 'I dreaded chemo more than another mastectomy. I was worried it would interfere with me being able to look after my children.' Professor Mokbel operated on Becca in December at the Princess Grace Hospital, London, and afterwards a sample of her tumour was sent away and tested using the EndoPredict. A low score meant her chances of recurrence within ten years were just five per cent and she was told chemotherapy could not offer much better odds. 'I could have gone through chemo and the cancer could still return,' she says. 'There is no treatment that places your chances at zero. But if you have regular monitoring, there is every chance that any cancer that might come back would be nipped in the bud early.'

Summary: Breast cancer patients may be spared chemotherapy thanks to new tests . Tests pinpoint genetic 'markers' in tumour and determine aggressiveness . They are available privately for £2,500 and may be rolled out soon on NHS . Women told within days whether they have a high risk of disease returning .


Jimmy Anderson is unique. From the moment he emerged as a raw youngster in the England team you could see that. England have always produced swing bowlers but not one with Anderson’s skills. It did not take long to realise he would have an outstanding career. He knew what he was doing, too, as soon as he came into the England side ahead of the 2003 World Cup. He did not need coaching and he did not need telling what to do. Jimmy Anderson edged closer to Sir Ian Botham's record for England's leading wicket-taker in Tests . Look at him on Tuesday. If you had asked anyone which end he would choose, almost everybody would have said the other end to the one Anderson picked. It would just seem natural that he’d want the wind to assist his outswing. Not Jimmy. He wanted to swing it away from the left-hander so he started at the other end and his stats will tell you that you can’t argue with him. It is to his credit that he knows his own mind. There have been a lot of English cricketers over the years who need telling what to do but Jimmy is stubborn and I like that. His attitude is almost: ‘You do what you want to do and I’ll do what I want to do.’ It’s a great advantage for a captain to have someone like that. Anderson celebrates the dismissal of Devon Smith on day two in Antigua, his 381st Test wicket . The 32-year-old is playing in his 100th Test match for England this week in Antigua . Yes, he can be a bit difficult. You talk to Andrew Strauss about Anderson and he’ll tell you about the arguments they had. Strauss would want to attack and have an extra slip if the ball was swinging but Anderson would want an extra cover if he was pitching the ball up because he hates going for runs. You have to take him on occasionally and that’s healthy. Reaching 100 Tests as a fast bowler and being on the brink of becoming England’s leading wicket-taker is more about character and the fight in Jimmy than about his skills. He has had to be tough to get this far. He remembers very well the bad times — putting out the cones, bringing out the drinks and the time spent on the sidelines with injury. He had to go back to county cricket and watch people not as good as him play for England. Anderson has been the leader of England's bowling attack for a while and will be vital in the Ashes . It is far from easy for a fast bowler to play 100 Tests and in Anderson’s case you cannot say he has lost a yard of pace because of all that hard work he has put in. He will be sorely missed when he does call it a day. England must be careful with him now they are in a run of 17 Tests in nine months. If Anderson were

Summary: Jimmy Anderson two wickets behind Sir Ian Botham's record of 383 . The 32-year-old is playing in his 100th Test match for England . Anderson hopes to break Botham's record for most wickets in this Test . England have 17 Tests in nine months and must be careful with Jimmy . Anderson will be crucial to any hopes of regaining the Ashes urn .


Six Chelsea players have been named in the Professional Footballers' Association Premier League team of the year. Jose Mourinho's men are on the brink of a first title since 2010 and their dominance over the past nine months was highlighted by a cluster of blue shirts in the XI announced by the PFA on Sunday. The entire back four started the season as Blues players, with centre-back pairing John Terry and Gary Cahill joined by Branislav Ivanovic and Ryan Bertrand, the latter of whom signed permanently for Southampton in February having joined on loan last summer. Eden Hazard, favourite for the main individual award after a superb season in which he has notched 18 goals for the Stamford Bridge outfit, was in midfield along with club colleague Nemanja Matic, Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho and Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez. Tottenham forward Harry Kane - tipped to be crowned young player of the year at London's Grosvenor Hotel later on Sunday - was the only English attacking player, chosen up front alongside Chelsea's 19-goal striker Diego Costa. Some Chelsea fans may feel aggrieved that there are not seven players in the team with Cesc Fabregas a notable exception. The midfielder has made 16 league assists this season, 12 more than Coutinho. The PFA Premier League Team of the Year for the 2014-15 season was announced on Sunday . GOALKEEPER - David de Gea (Manchester United) Appearances: 33 . Clean sheets: 10 .

Jack Wilshere has moved a step closer to recovery from the serious ankle injury that has wrecked his season after completing 90 minutes for Arsenal’s under 21 side. The England midfielder came through the 4-1 win over Stoke City unscathed as he pushes for a return to Arsene Wenger’s first team before the end of the campaign. He was joined by Mikel Arteta and Abou Diaby, recovering from ankle and calf injuries respectively, in the Under 21 Premier League fixture at the Emirates Stadium.

Alex Iwobi stole the show with a hat-trick for Arsenal at the Emirates alongside a few of their senior stars . Hat-trick hero Iwobi is capped for England’s youth teams but likely to play for Nigeria . Arsenal Under 21: Deyan Iliev; Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Stefan O’Connor, Krystian Bielik, Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill, Abou Diaby (Julio Pleguezuelo 71), Mikel Arteta (c) (Stephy Mavididi 60), Serge Gnabry, Jack Wilshere, Daniel Crowley, Alex Iwobi .

Substitutes not used: Dominic Kurasik (GK); Tom Adeloye . Scorer: Shenton 8 . Referee: Anthony Da Costa . Attendance: 2,674 . Wilshere has been out of action since suffering the injury in the 2-1 home defeat by Manchester United on November 22 but is finally nearing full fitness. It has been the latest in a succession of injury problems that have hampered his development into the world class player he was expected to become for club and country. Having made a return to action in a reserve friendly with Brentford last week, this was a step up in quality for Wilshere and he exerted a quiet influence without taking a hold on the game. He saw a free-kick 25 yards from goal deflected just over the crossbar early on and initiated a move later in the first-half that culminated in Serge Gnabry firing a snapshot on the turn that was saved the legs of Stoke goalkeeper Daniel Gyollai. Wilshere might have capped his night with a goal but his improvised volley from a Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill cross was saved before Stephy Mavididi slammed home the rebound for Arsenal’s third on 73 minutes. Arteta, who has been on the sidelines since the Champions League game with Borussia Dortmund on November 26, captained the team but failed to make much of an impact during his hour of involvement. Diaby, whose never-ending succession of injuries has seen him absent for an astonishing 226 weeks of his Arsenal career, was arguably their most influential performer as he fights for a new contract. Mikel Arteta was among the players

The cringeworthy, yet strangely addicting footage of whiteheads being popped, cysts being ruptured and blackheads being extracted has turned a dermatologist into an internet sensation as thousands of people flock to her video channel to catch a glimpse of 'Dr Pimple Popper' in action. Dr Sandra Lee is dermatologist at the Skin Physicians & Surgeons practice in Upland, California, and a regular guest on The Doctors talk show, but online she is known simply as Dr Pimple Popper, a moniker she used when she started posting clips of her patients' extractions on her YouTube channel. The clips have earned her nearly 60,000 subscribers, as well as loyal fan base of zit squeezing enthusiasts on Reddit. 'I find this little subculture fascinating,' Dr Lee told Racked of her followers. 'I pop these things, and yeah they kind of make me feel good, they’re satisfying, but it’s not like I seek them out.' Scroll down for video . All in a day's work: Dermatologist Dr Sandra Lee, who known as Dr Pimple Popper online, shares videos of herself extracting her patients zits on her popular YouTube channel . Day job: Dr Lee, from Upland, California, can be seen using a comedone extractor to pop one of her patient's blemishes . Dr Lee explained that when a patient comes in she offers to tackle their blemishes in exchange for them allowing her to post the videos of the process online, while keeping the clips as anonymous as she can. And she noted that, despite the somewhat gruesome nature of her YouTube channel, 'nobody ever says no'. Before she shot to internet fame, Dr Lee's channel, used to only feature a selection of TV segments that she had done, only had a few thousand followers. However, when she joined Instagram, she started posting short clips of her actually treating patients, a decision which quickly garnered her much more interest, prompting her to start putting full-length clips up on YouTube, starting with a video of her extracting a man's blackheads. 'I didn’t realize how big it would be,' she said of the video, which has received more than 360,000 views since it was posted in December. Dr Lee explained that she was such an 'amateur' at the time; she barely knew anything about Reddit and was 'floored' when she learned that her video was being shared on a popular pimple popping subreddit. The experience opened her eyes to an entire community that she had no idea existed. The doctor, who is now well-known on the subreddit, said the people are 'really wonderful'. Big break: Dr Lee became an internet sensations after she posted this video of herself extracting a man's blackheads on YouTube. The clips was later shared on Reddit and helped her to earn a loyal fan base . But Dr Lee questions whether she is a 'true popper' because she doesn't actually enjoy watching people squeeze and poke their whiteheads and cysts on their own. 'I don’t watch any of the other videos,' she said. 'They all kind of gross me out! When they’re amateur,

Salford assistant coach Ian Watson is poised to come out of his playing retirement at the age of 38 to answer an SOS from the Red Devils. Watson, whose last game was as player-coach in the Championship for Swinton last June, has stepped up his training ahead of Sunday's home game against Castleford after Salford lost a fourth player to suspension and three more to injury. "It's a definite possibility that we might need to call on Ian," head coach Iestyn Harris said. "He's been training and is ready to answer the call if need be." Salford assistant coach Ian Watson is poised to come out of his playing retirement at the age of 38 . Salford are without Rangi Chase, Weller Hauraki, Cory Paterson and Darrell Griffin through suspension, while scrum-half Michael Dobson (knee), centre Junior Sa'u and winger Ben Jones-Bishop (leg) were all injured in Saturday's 22-18 Challenge Cup fifth-round defeat at Leigh, joining Josh Griffin, Tommy Lee, Jason Walton and brothers Jordan and Adam Walne on the sidelines. Salford recently signed veteran hooker Wayne Godwin on loan from Dewsbury and this week borrowed Oliver Gildart and James Greenwood from Wigan but Harris is still thought to be down to just 17 fit players. If Watson plays against the Tigers at the AJ Bell Stadium, he would become the oldest player currently in Super League, taking over from Salford's former Leeds and Warrington forward Adrian Morley, who turns 38 next month. The record for the oldest player in Super League is held by Australian Steve Menzies, who was 39 when he ended his career at Catalans Dragons at the end of the 2013 season. Watson, who made 41 Super League appearances as a half-back with Salford in 1997 and 2002, brought up the 500th appearance of his career in March 2014, a total that included a record-equalling 30 caps for Wales and took in spells with Widnes, Rochdale, Oldham, Halifax and Leigh.

Summary: Ian Watson is set to come out of playing retirement at the age of 38 . His last game was as player-coach in Championship for Swinton last June . Watson stepped up his training ahead of Sunday's game against Castleford .

With seven gold medals, two Olympic Games, an OBE and a stint in the I'm A Celebrity! Get Me Out Of Here jungle under her belt, there's not much that phases former Olympic swimming champion Rebecca Adlington. But at eight months pregnant with her first child, the 26-year-old has revealed being an expectant mum has been one of her toughest roles of her life so far. In an interview in the Sunday Mirror the gold medal winning athlete says the extra pounds she gained in the early stages of her pregnancy were hard to deal with, especially as she didn't even look pregnant and was used to being in charge of her body.

An Air Canada flight from Germany to Toronto was forced to divert to Shannon Airport in Ireland last night after an 87-year-old woman caused a disturbance on board. The pensioner, who was travelling in First Class on board the Boeing 777-300 jet, was allegedly restrained by cabin crew until the plane was forced into the unplanned landing. The flight crew alerted the pilot, who put a call in to the Irish Aviation Authority’s (IAA) North Atlantic Communications Service centre at Ballygirreen in Co Clare, who advised to land at Shannon. An 87-year-old woman caused a disturbance on board an Air Canada flight from Germany to Toronto that forced a diversion to Shannon Airport . On touching down at around 8.15pm local time, Gardaí and airport police officers were standing by, and the woman was taken into custody. MailOnline Travel have been advised by Irish police that the woman has since been released without charge, and she will be undergoing a 'fit-to-fly- screening in the hope of continuing her journey. There is no indication from the police as to the actions of the woman on board at this time. The decision was taken to divert when the Air Canada flight ACA-877 was around 600 miles north west of Shannon, and the plane, carrying 211 passengers, turned around. The Irish Times report that 'airport emergency services were standing by at strategic locations along the runway so that they could follow the aircraft once it had landed.' On touching down at Shannon Airport, the elderly woman was met by Irish police and taken into custody . As expected with unscheduled landings, the plane was forced to dump fuel in advance of the descent over the Atlantic.

Steve Davis would love to see Jimmy White and Reanne Evans light up the Crucible stage but admits his own swan song hopes look forlorn. The king of the baize in the 1980s believes the Whirlwind and the doyenne of the women's tour face tall orders to get through qualifying for the Betfred World Championship. Evans saw her task made all the more intimidating when she was drawn to face 1997 world champion Ken Doherty on Thursday, in the first of three preliminary rounds, while White will tackle fellow veteran James Wattana in his opener on Saturday. Steve Davis will attempt to qualify for this year's Betfred World Championship at the Crucible . But Davis, who will also attempt to qualify, expects both would relish the challenge if they fought their way through to the first round in Sheffield. He calls 29-year-old Dudley potter Evans 'a great player', and said of the 10-time ladies' world champion: 'It's a real tough battle out there against players who are playing for their livelihoods. It's a bun fight, but she's perhaps the best woman player I've ever seen. 'In the 1980s I saw Allison Fisher who was the best around, and she was an excellent, excellent player but more methodical. 'Reanne is more like the Jimmy White or the Ronnie O'Sullivan of the women's game. She has the feel for the game, she's at one with the table. 'She could cause a surprise, but to win three matches is the tough bit. It's hard enough for me and Jimmy. 'If me or Jimmy qualify for the Crucible, it's arguably as big a win as we've ever had. 'I've got a little bit of a desire to do it, but Jimmy would certainly love to get back to the Crucible.' Reanne Evans takes on Ken Docherty for a place at the World Championships in Sheffield . Reanne Evans is a 10-time ladies champion who previously competed on the main tour for the 2010-11 season. She suffered 18 consecutive defeats however and failed to qualify the following year. White, who lost six World Championship finals, last appeared at the tournament in 2006, and has fallen short in qualifying every year since. While 52-year-old White is in the autumn of his career, for Davis these are the winter years before his match cue is finally laid down. He turns 58 in August and fell off the main tour 12 months ago. A memoir, Interesting, hits the bookshelves on Thursday. A tricky qualifying opener against Jamie Cope could end in disappointment, but it would be short-lived. 'I can't build up the intensity that I used to have, but I must admit I'm getting excited about pitting my wits against another generation of players,' Davis said. 'Of course, it'll all end in tears. 'I'm not totally committed but I still have the juices running through me a little bit. I've been practising but it's not a pretty sight. They're wobbling more in the pockets before saying 'nope'. 'Whether I get to the TV stages, that's a long shot. That's tough.

Summary: Steve Davis will attempt to qualify for the Betfred World Championship . The 57-year-old is a six-time world champion at the Crucible . But Davis admitted he is not fully committed to the sport . Jimmy White and Reanne Evans are also hoping to qualify .


In her working life, she has covered terrorist attacks, murders and explosions. But nothing, it seems, has been a greater challenge for Samantha Simmonds than a car journey with her three children. The Sky newsreader has revealed how an Easter holiday outing with her family saw ‘blood and saliva flying’ between her boisterous sons in the backseat – and ended with her six-year-old having a tooth knocked out. Butter wouldn’t melt! Samantha Simmonds and husband Phillip Davies with their children, two, four and six . In a searingly honest account that plenty of exhausted parents will relate to, Miss Simmonds, 42, described how she took some time off work to spend with her children – but said the break turned into a string of tantrums and bickering. Miss Simmonds is married to Phillip Davies, the owner of online auction business Flogit4u, and the couple have a daughter aged two and sons aged four and six. Describing a trip back from Manchester to London, the newsreader wrote on her blog that four hours into a fraught journey, her six-year-old son started screaming. She said: ‘I turned round to see blood and saliva flying towards me and all over [the six-year-old’s] face. I started yelling in shock and shouted to the four-year-old, “What have you done?” ‘What he had done was knock one of his brother’s teeth out! How is that even possible?’ After ‘one packet of wet wipes, a lot of blood and tears’, she wrote, the situation was calmer, and it wasn’t long before her enterprising son was negotiating more money from the tooth fairy ‘due to blood loss and trauma’. Honest: In her blog post, the Sky newsreader and mother-of-three also describes ‘working mum guilt’ The newsreader – who has worked for Channel 5 and BBC News as well as Sky – said she struggled to cope when the boys turned on each other in the car. ‘On their own they are all gorgeous – a delight – a pleasure! Together they are a ticking time bomb,’ she wrote. ‘Just how long before the first verbal or physical punch is thrown is anyone’s guess. It is this – the dynamics of the three of them all together that I find the single hardest thing about being a parent … I feel unprepared and frustratingly un-forewarned of the trials and tribulations of dealing with my children en masse.’ In the post, which does not give her children’s names, she also describes the ‘working mum guilt’ shared by many, and how she tries to squeeze in as many activities as possible during precious time off. ‘Many would argue I do too much …. that may well be so, but I genuinely love our outings and seeing the joy and wonder on their faces,’ she wrote. But the dream can quickly turn into a nightmare when ‘their testosterone-fuelled little bodies means they cannot keep their hands off each other for more than a few minutes at a time’. She added: ‘Either kicking one another while sitting on the sofa, or wrestling around the house

Summary: Samantha Simmonds posted honest blog about Easter family break . Detailed how youngest son, four, knocked six-year-old's tooth out . Wrote of 'ticking time bomb' when all three children are together . In the post the newsreader, 42, also describes ‘working mum guilt’


Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson has been filmed lashing out at an aggressive AFL fan after his team's narrow loss to Port Adelaide on Saturday night. The footage shows a young man, thought to be an Adelaide Power fan, taunting Clarkson as he made his way back to his Adelaide hotel room, before Clarkson pushes the man and grabs his neck. It appears the video was captured by a friend of the young man and it's understood the pair had been goading Clarkson in the lead-up to the confrontation. Scroll down for video . Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson was filmed lashing out at a young man, thought to be an Adelaide Power fan after his team's loss on the weekend . Alastair Clarkson was approached by the fan as he made his way back to his Adelaide hotel room. The man reportedly 'got in his face' yelling 'Hey Clarko, how was the win today brother?' In the video, which was provided to Channel Seven, the fan is seen shouting in the face of the Hawks coach. 'Hey Clarko, Clarko, how was the win, how was the win today brother? Goooo the Power! An agitated Clarkson lashes out at the man before grabbing him by the throat. The incident took place in the hours after the Hawthorn Hawks' narrow eight-point loss to Port Adelaide. Hawthorn CEO Stuart Fox, who saw the incident unfold, has described it as 'very unfortunate.' 'Alastair was walking back to the hotel with our general manager of football Chris Fagan and came across some intoxicated boys and Clarko was certainly harassed,' Fox said in an interview with Fox Sports. 'He politely declined to be photographed and videoed and the boys just got in his face and tried to get Clarko into the hotel and it was one of those issues that got a little bit ugly. It's not known whether the man in the video was a Power supporter as he wasn't wearing any Port Adelaide clothing. Port Adelaide CEO Keith Thomas said those responsible would be held accountable if found to be club members. 'If it is a Port Adelaide member … we'll be acting pretty aggressively about that,' Thomas told Fox Sports. Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson, pictured, was 'pushed and shoved all the way to the door,' says Hawthorn CEO . It's not the first altercation the Hawthorn coach has been involved in. In 2006 Clarkson was fined $5000 for abusing umpires on board a plane and in 2008 he was fined for criticising umpire Justin Schmitt’s performance which involved a defeat to Geelong. But Hawthorn's Stuart Fox and others in the AFL community have voiced their support of Clarkson, saying he was 'harassed.' Fox said the video missed the minute prior to the incident where Clarkson and Chris Fagan declined photographs with the two fans and tried to get themselves to the hotel room. 'They were pushed and shoved all the way up to the door and, unfortunately, Clarko's pushed back and got himself in the hotel and gone straight to bed' Fox said. Fox said the

The intoxicated fan is seen harassing Clarkson outside his Adelaide hotel . Clarkson was 'pushed, shoved all the way to the door,' Hawks CEO says .


A 78-year-old woman used her own detective work to track down a burglar who had stolen her jewellery during a raid on her home. Nina Anderson searched pawn shops near her house in Portsmouth, Hampshire, after gold and silver necklaces worth nearly £400 were taken from her bedroom as she watched television. The great-grandmother, who lives with husband Maurice, 75, eventually spotted two of the stolen items in the window of a Cash and Cheque Express in the city centre two months after the raid. Her actions, which echo those of Agatha Christie character Miss Marple, led to the arrest of burglar Martin Campbell, who has now been jailed for three years. Detective: Nina Anderson, pictured with husband Maurice, 75, searched pawn shops near their house in Portsmouth, Hampshire, after gold and silver necklaces were taken from her bedroom as she watched TV . Real-life Miss Marple: Mrs Anderson's (left with her husband) actions mirror those of Agatha Christie character Miss Marple, who was played on ITV by actress Geraldine McEwan (right) between 2004 and 2007 . Portsmouth Crown Court heard Campbell, who had been hired to do odd jobs for the couple, forced his way into the house when Mrs Anderson was at home alone on December 28. He was arrested by police when Mrs Anderson noticed necklaces missing from her jewellery box, but was later released with no further action. Determined to retrieve her stolen jewellery, Mrs Anderson began looking in nearby pawn shops. She spotted two of the missing necklaces in the window of a branch of Cash and Cheque Express on February 19. The pawn shop was able to provide a bank statement, photo ID and ownership declaration that Campbell, 28, had provided when he sold the jewellery. Mrs Anderson contacted the police, who used the records to re-arrest Campbell. Mrs Anderson's actions mirror those of Miss Marple, a fictional character who appears in 12 of Agatha Christie's novels, solving difficult crimes with her shrewd intelligence. Breaking in: Campbell forced his way into the house when Mrs Anderson was at home alone. Above, the damage done to the door during the raid . She said: 'I left copies of the stolen gold in pawn shops around the city. 'I found myself looking in the windows every time I passed by. Then this time something caught my eye - it was my silver necklace. 'It took my work to do it, otherwise we wouldn't have heard anything.' Prosecutor Martyn Booth told Portsmouth Crown Court: 'The police had effectively concluded their investigations. Thankfully the Andersons had conducted their own enquiries. 'Enquiries established that the defendant had turned up on December 30 two days after the burglary trying to sell the items.' An 18ct gold necklace with an image of St Anthony that Mrs Anderson's late father gave to her when she left Italy in 1957 is still missing. Mrs Anderson said she had treated Campbell like 'one of the family' when she hired him as a handyman and that the burglary was a 'great betrayal'. She said: 'We can't trust

Summary: Nina Anderson's jewellery was stolen from her bedroom as she watched TV . The 78-year-old started searching pawn shops near her Portsmouth home . Spotted two of her necklaces and records traced back to Martin Campbell . Campbell, 28, who worked for Mrs Anderson, has been jailed for 3 years .


Fresh testimonies from a small island community in the Maldives has reignited reports that missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 could have crashed over 5000 kilometres away from the official search led by Australian authorities. Locals from the island of Kudahuvadhoo, located in the southern area of the Dhaalu Atoll in the Maldives, reported witnessing 'a low-flying jumbo jet' on the morning of March 8 last year, when the flight disappeared while travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. The reports come as acoustic scientists from Curtin University refuse to rule out the possibility that 'distinctive' data they recorded from the area at the assumed time of the crash may have come from the impact of the aircraft as it hit the Indian Ocean. Locals from the island of Kudahuvadhoo in the Maldives reported witnessing 'a low-flying jumbo jet' on the morning of March 8 last year when MH370 disappeared . Kudahuvadhoo is located in the southern area of the Dhaalu Atoll, in the Maldives, in the Indian Ocean . Despite an exhaustive search that is underway along a 600 square kilometre arc approximately 1800 kilometres southwest of Perth, locals from the island believe they identified red and blue markings, similar to those of the missing plane, on a large passenger jet which flew over the island on the morning of the MH370's disappearance, reported The Weekend Australian. Villagers from the community of 3500 claim that many on the island saw the passenger plane, and were interviewed by police and testified with signed statements to what they witnessed. 'I'm very sure of what I saw on a very clear and bright day, and what I saw was not normal- the plane was very big, and low. I did not know until later that other people saw it too. I don't know if it's the Malaysia plane', said Ahmed Shiyaam, 34, an IT manager. Abdu Rasheed Ibrahim said he saw the plane flying towards him over the water, and did not know at the time that it could be the missing Malaysian Airlines flight. 'I didn't know that a plane was missing. I went straight home and told my wife about it. I told my family, "I saw this strange plane". This is the biggest plane I have ever seen from this island...I have seen pictures of the missing plane- I believe I saw the plane...I strongly felt those people who were searching should come here,' Mr Ibrahim said. The Maldvies National Defence Force released a statement in March last year which denied that there had been any aircrafts in the area at the time of the disappearance, which locals have branded as an attempt to hide the limitations of their radar facilities. A local media outlet reported that witnesses claimed the plane was travelling north to southeast, and that the plane was travelling so low it's doors could be seen. 'I've never seen a jet flying so low over our island before. We've seen seaplanes, but I'm sure that this was not one of those. I could even make

Summary: Locals from the Maldives island of Kudahuvadhoo claim they saw a low-flying jet on the morning MH370 disappeared . The island is over 5000 kilometres away from the current search area . Members of the community say it was so low they could see the plane's doors and make out the distinctive colouring on the side of the jet . Locals made statements to verify what they had seen to officials . Curtin University acoustic scientists say they recorded 'distinctive' noise from the area at the presumed time of the crash .


Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez was found guilty on Wednesday of first-degree murder in a deadly late-night shooting, sealing the downfall of an athlete who once had a $40million contract and a standout career ahead of him. Hernandez, 25, looked to his right and pursed his lips after the jury forewoman read the verdict. The first-degree murder conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole in the slaying of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old landscaper and amateur weekend football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee. Hernandez’s mother, Terri, and his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, cried and gasped when they heard the verdict. Shayanna Jenkins wept on his mother’s shoulder. Hernandez later mouthed to them: 'Be strong. Be strong.' Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez has been found guilty on of first-degree murder . The first-degree murder conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole . The conviction sealed the downfall of an athlete who once had a $40million contract and a standout career . The former football pro was also found guilty on firearm and ammunition charges. For reasons that were never made clear to the jury, Lloyd was shot six times in the middle of the night on June 17, 2013, in a deserted industrial park near Hernandez’s home. Police almost immediately zeroed in on Hernandez because they found in Lloyd’s pocket the key to a car the NFL player had rented. Within hours of Hernandez’s arrest, the Patriots cut the former Pro Bowl athlete, who was considered one of the top tight ends in the game. Prosecutors presented a wealth of evidence that Hernandez was with Lloyd at the time he was killed, including home security video from Hernandez’s mansion, witness testimony and cellphone records that tracked Lloyd’s movements. Hernandez’s lawyer, James Sultan, acknowledged for the first time during closing arguments that Hernandez was there when Lloyd was killed. Terri Hernandez clutches her son's fianceé Shayanna as the jury returned a guilty on all counts . Ursula Ward, mother of the victim, reacts to the guilty verdict for former NFL player Hernandez . Hernandez was pictured posing with a Glock handgun when he was a student in 2009 . Odin Lloyd has been identified as the man who was found dead less than a mile away from the $1.3million mansion of New England Patriots player Hernandez . But the attorney pinned the shooting on two of Hernandez’s friends, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, saying his client was a '23-year-old kid' who witnessed a shocking crime and didn’t know what to do. Wallace and Ortiz will stand trial later. Prosecutors have suggested Lloyd may have been killed because he knew too much about Hernandez’s alleged involvement in a deadly 2012 drive-by shooting in Boston. But they were not allowed to tell the jury that because the judge said it was speculation. As a result, they never offered a motive beyond saying Hernandez appeared angry with Lloyd at a nightclub two nights before the killing. Hernandez faces further legal trouble: He is

Athlete once had a $40million contract and a standout career ahead of him . The former American football pro was also found guilty on firearm and ammunition charges .


Sometimes it can feel like your job is an endless cycle of meetings – and you wouldn't be wrong. The average British worker will sit through 6,239 meetings in their career, a survey has found. And with 60 per cent saying they find most meetings 'pretty pointless', it's not surprising that one in five adults admits to catching forty winks during a work meeting. Of the 2000 surveyed by headset manufacturer Sennheiser Communications, 70 per cent said they constantly zone out while in meetings, with the average worker switching off completely after 20 minutes. The average British worker will sit through 6,239 meetings in their career, a survey has found (file picture) But bored staff should be wary of paying too little attention. One in five workers confessed to messing something up due to zoning out in a meeting, with more than a quarter saying they had made more than ten massive mistakes. 'There is nothing worse than being sat in a meeting that doesn't really concern you,' said Charlotte Gaskin, marketing manager at Sennheiser Communications, specialists in premium headsets. 'So it's not surprising then that so many people zone out, nod off or doodle.' 'Of the respondents we polled, many said that often a quick and concise conference call was more effective than a lengthy meeting which often resulted in expensive travel expenses.' The poll showed one in five employees has nodded off in a meeting at some point in their career, with the typical person dozing off for two minutes. For a quarter of those, their colleagues saw the funny side although 18 per cent experienced the wrath of their boss after catching forty winks. One in ten was so relaxed they either dribbled or snored. Of the 2000 employed polled, nearly a quarter said they tend to drift off if the meeting is first thing in the morning. But in contrast a third said they switch-off if the meeting is too late in the day. Two thirds said if the meeting isn't relevant to them they gradually become less interested. In fact, 31 per cent said they often think about what they are having for dinner that night and 16 per cent think about what they're going to watch on TV when they get home.

A mother who cradled her three-year-old son while she lay down in front of a train killed them both after finding out her husband had a second family in Egypt, an inquest has heard. Depressed Donna Oettinger, 41, had sought urgent psychiatric help in the months before she and her son Zaki died on train tracks in south London in March 2013, Croydon Coroner's Court heard. She had attempted to kill herself three months before the tragedy but was unable to receive the treatment recommended to her by doctors. Depressed Donna Oettinger, 41, had sought urgent psychiatric help in the months before she and her son Zaki died on train tracks in south London in March 2013, Croydon Coroner's Court heard. Ms Oettinger had starting suffering depression after going to Zaki's father, Mohammed El Shaer, in Egypt, and discovering he had another family, an inquest heard . Her mental health had declined after discovering Zaki's father, an Egyptian national who could not travel to the UK, had a second family. She also was using cocaine regularly for six months and became convinced she had caused lasting damage and her anxiety worsened, the inquest heard. After visiting a psychiatrist in November Zaki was referred to social services, although the case was not reviewed. It meant the family and Zaki's safety was never assessed by the authority. A coroner has today ruled that doctors and social services in charge of looking after Ms Oettinger, made five 'significant' failures in the months before she and her young son lay in the path of a train in March 2012. But at the end of a three day inquest into their deaths, coroner Selena Lynch said that despite the family slipping under social services' radar 'nothing could have be done' to foresee the deaths. A coroner has ruled that doctors and social services in charge of looking after Ms Oettinger, made five 'significant' failures. But at the end of a three day inquest into their deaths, coroner Selena Lynch said that despite the family slipping under social services' radar 'nothing could have be done' to foresee the deaths . Ms Lynch concluded at the end of a three-day inquest that Ms Oettinger, who suffered chronic anxiety, unlawfully killed her son. She said: 'Donna Oettinger suffered from depression and had suicidal ideas. 'She had taken a significant overdose and had been seen by a number of professionals. 'The failures that I have identified, are in some respects quite significant, but can't be said to have caused or contributed to her death or Zaki's.' She said some of the measures now in place might have made a difference, but added: 'I think it is unlikely that Donna Oettinger would have been admitted to hospital or prevented from being alone with her child. 'Whether there might have been some improvement in her condition it is impossible to say.' The Coroner identified five separate failures by doctors and nurses at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and Croydon child protection services, who first came into contact with Ms Oettinger

Summary: Donna and Zaki Oettinger died on train tracks in south London in 2013 . Inquest heard mother had taken an overdose three months earlier .

A young Indonesian man has cheated death after stowing himself away in the wheel housing of a jet which flew for an hour in freezing temperatures. Mario Ambarita, 21, took chances with his life when he clambered into the wheel housing of the Garuda Indonesia flight which took off from the main island of Sumatra and flew at 34,000ft to Jakarta. The desperate reason for his actions was simply that he was ‘looking for work’. Mario Ambarita, pictured, clambered into the wheel housing of the Garuda Indonesia flight which took off from the main island of Sumatra and flew at 34,000ft to Jakarta . He had climbed into the wheel housing when the aircraft stopped at the end of the runway in Pekan Baru, Sumatra, during a scheduled touch down to pick up passengers. The Indonesian news organisation, Kompas, reported that Mr Ambarita was in a dazed state when he crawled out of the wheel housing at Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta airport. Ground staff stared in amazement as the young man started staggering away from the aircraft before he was grabbed by security officials. His immediate whereabouts were unknown this morning. His mother, Tiar Sitanggan, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that she had ‘no idea’ her son was planning to go to Jakarta. The 21-year-old climbed into the wheel housing when Garuda Indonesia plane stopped at the end of the runway in Pekan Baru, Sumatra, during a scheduled touch down to pick up passengers (file picture) She said he had left home in the town of Bagan Batu to look for work in Pekan Baru, which is also on Sumatra island. ‘He left last month and I hadn’t heard from him since,’ she said. She only found about his exploits when she saw him on MetroTV news. Mr Pesman Pujabroto, a spokesman for Garuda, said Mr Ambarita ‘knew the plane would stop’ after it taxied to the end of the runway at Pekan Baru. It was then that he seized the opportunity to smuggle himself into the wheel housing. The air temperature was well below freezing and experts said the stowaway had only managed to survive because of the relatively short flight. An airline spokesman said Mr Ambarita was suffering from the effects of the cold and lack of oxygen when he stumbled out of the wheel well. Mr Ambarita was in a dazed state when he crawled out of the wheel housing at Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta airport (shown in this file picture) ‘He looked lacking of oxygen,’ said the airline’s communication secretary, Pujobroto ,who like many Indonesians uses only one name. ‘His fingers turned blue and his left ear was bleeding.’ Garuda’s ground crew immediately helped him to the airport’s clinic where last night he was received treatment. It was expected he would be transferred to a hospital later. Mr Pujobroto said the maximum cruising altitude of that particular flight was 34,000ft, far above the 16,000ft threshold where the air temperature drops to freezing. The young man’s relatives said that since a child he had dreamed of visiting Jakarta. It was learned that for

Michael Vaughan, who is favourite to become England’s cricket supremo, was quick to condemn the openers after West Indies got them both out early on. With Jonathan Trott out without scoring in the first over and captain Alastair Cook failing again Vaughan said: ‘Their footwork and their mindset has been about looking to survive rather than getting on top.’ Geoff Boycott was also critical of the pair, saying: ‘Opening batsmen are supposed to face the new ball when it’s doing a little bit. If you can’t play that, you’re in the wrong job.’ Michael Vaughan criticised the footwork and mindset of England's top order for just looking to survive . Jonathan Trott was out for a duck on his return to the Test match side in Antigua . Alastair Cook was clean bowled by Kemar Roach for 11 as England struggled on the first morning . Former fast bowler Bob Willis said: ‘England’s top three looked constipated and need a good dose of syrup of figs.’ West Indies’ early success after putting England into bat appeared at that stage to make a mockery of the comment by Colin Graves, the new England and Wales Cricket Board chairman, who labelled the opposition ‘mediocre’.

Summary: England's top order collapsed on the first morning in Antigua . Jonathan Trott, Alastair Cook and Gary Ballance all out cheaply . Michael Vaughan critical of footwork and mindset of the trio . Vaughan is favourite to take up role of England cricket director .

An extremist preacher who is suspected of radicalising Jihadi John lives in a leafy west London street and cannot be deported because of his human rights. Egyptian-born Hani al-Sibai is believed to have influenced a number of young men, who then travelled abroad to join terror groups, including JIhadi John, whose real name is Mohammed Emwazi. The radical cleric lives in the same neighbourbood where Emwazi, who was unmasked in February as the notorious murderer in Islamic State's ruthless propaganda videos, hung out with fellow jihadists. Now, security services are believed to be investigating al-Sibai's influence on the London Boys terror cell of which Enwazi was a part. Scroll down for video . Egyptian-born extremist preacher Hani al-Sibai (right) is believed to have influenced a number of young men into fighting jihadist, including 'Jihadi John' Mohammed Emwazi (left) The Sunday Telegraph's Robert Mendick and Robert Vervaik reported that it is claimed the preacher 'captivated' a number of young Muslim men who went on to fight jihad abroad. Although it is not clear if the 54-year-old made direct contact with Emwazi, he does post radical messages on websites he runs that are reportedly very influential on young wannabe jihadists. He has also been linked to Adel Abdel Bari, another Egyptian-born jihadist and senior al-Qaeda operative. Bari and al-Sibai were close associates in London until Bari was jailed for 25 years for a series of terror plots earlier this year. And Bari’s son Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, 25, is well known as an aspiring rapper from west London, who is is thought to be part of Jihadi John’s network inside Islamic State. Al-Sibai recently sparked controversy when he aired his sexist comments live on air leading the female TV host to cut him off abruptly . Al-Sibai's bank accounts and assets are subject to freezing orders by the United Nations, the UK Treasury and US Treasury. He was accused of having 'provided material support to al-Qaeda and conspired to commit terrorist acts' in court last year - which he denied. Last year, he went to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg in a bid to get his status as an al-Qaeda affiliate overturned as well as and allow him access to bank accounts. But despite being identified as an affiliate of al-Qaeda, al-Sibai has blocked government attempts to deport him for more than 15 years - citing his human rights. When he first claimed asylum in 1994, he told officials he had been tortured in Egypt after acting as a lawyer for Islamist groups and was linked to the opposition Muslim Brotherhood. He was denied on national security grounds, and was jailed in 1998 pending deportation. Al-Sibai was a close associate of Egyptian jihadist Adel Abdel Bari, whose son Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary (pictured) is believed to be part of Jihadi John's network in Islamic State . But as officials were unable to obtain the necessary assurances to guarantee al-Sibai’s safety, human rights laws mean suspects cannot be deported to countries where they are at risk. So, despite being added to the UN's al-Qaeda sanctions

Summary: Hani al-Sibai is believed to have influenced a number of young Muslim men . Lives in area where Jihadi Johnspent time with London Boys terror cell . Security services believed to be investigating cleric's influence on network . Al-Sibai recently caused outrage for making sexist remarks to Lebanese TV host live on air .


Another trophy slipped through Brendan Rodgers’ grip when they lost to Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Sunday. That elusive first piece of silverware is proving hard to attain and an itch is developing which is in dire need of being scratched. After spending more than £200million since taking charge at Liverpool in June 2012, there is only so long the owners and fans will keep patient in their desire for dividends. Brendan Rodgers gives instructions to Steven Gerrard during Liverpool's defeat against Aston Villa . Rodgers is set for his third season without a trophy after Liverpool were dumped out of the FA Cup . Twitching times can develop when the top clubs go through barren spells - and Rodgers’ is beginning to enter such a period. During Rodgers’ time in charge, Manchester United and Chelsea had spent more than their Merseyside rivals - so too have City by a fraction - but each of those have brought home something. United and City have won two trophies - including the Premier League title - while Chelsea have one and are sure to add the league title to that soon. Arsene Wenger has spent £183m, comparatively little, but managed to win two trophies over the past two seasons. That is less than rivals Tottenham, who have spent just under £200m and, like Liverpool, have won nothing. Alexis Sanchez celebrates his extra-time winner against Reading to seal Arsenal's spot in the FA Cup final . Eden Hazard's first-half strike against Manchester United leaves Chelsea on the brink of winning the title . While the country’s best teams are filling their trophy cabinets, Rodgers’ remains bare. The Red half of Merseyside expect success and landed the League Cup under Kenny Dalglish just before Rodgers took to the helm. Analysis by Sportsmail indicates that he has signed 22 players during his tenure, but only seven of those can be considered a success at this current time. His top signings have been Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and Simon Mignolet, but the poor transfers outweigh the successful ones. Rogers has gone for top young talent, ranging from 18 to 21 when he signs them. There is still time for some of those players - the likes of Joao Teixeira and Divock Origi - to prove their worth. But there will be only so much time. Many of his big-money failures came last summer, when he tried to spend the money accrued from selling Luis Suarez to Barcelona for £75m. Adam Lallana, Lazar Markovic, Dejan Lovren and Mario Balotelli have all disappointed this term. Like the younger potentials, each of those could still make their mark, but the question is if it does not come together next season - and they remain trophyless again - will Rogers still be in charge to reap any of the rewards? Philippe Coutinho, Mario Balotelli and Jordan Henderson reflect on Liverpool's semi-final defeat on Sunday . Summer 2012 . Fabio Borini, Roma, £10.5m . Farmed out to Sunderland for the whole of last season on loan then failed

Summary: Liverpool will go another campaign without silverware after FA Cup exit . It marks a third straight term where Brendan Rodgers has failed to deliver . He has spent over £200m on transfers but is yet to win a trophy at Anfield . And only a fraction of the 22 players he's signed can be considered a 'hit'


Labour will today accuse the Tories of making it harder to see a GP as they attempt to put the NHS back at the centre of the election campaign. The party will launch a billboard advert using the image from the famous 1979 ‘Labour Isn’t Working’ poster, but instead it will warn: ‘The doctor can’t see you now’. The poster features the same long line of people used to illustrate dole queues under Jim Callaghan’s ailing government, but this time places them outside a waiting room. Scroll down for video . The Labour party will launch a billboard advert using an image from the famous 1979 ‘Labour Isn’t Working’ poster, but instead it will warn: ‘The doctor can’t see you now’ Labour will warn that new official figures show 600 fewer GP surgeries across England are now open in the evening and weekends compared to the last election. It will also claim nearly two million more patients are unhappy with doctors opening hours compared to three years ago as they lose access to appointments outside of office hours. Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham will say the figures are a timely reminder of the ‘NHS crisis’ as patients turn to stretched A&E departments as they struggle to get an appointment with their GP on the first working day after the Easter break. But the Tories last night claimed many of the problems stemmed from Labour’s 2004 changes to GP contracts that allowed them to opt out of providing care outside office hours. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt also said that the government had already begun tackling the issue by making extra funding available, which will mean the number of GP surgeries opening longer will have increased when the next set of figures are published. As it unveils its new poster, Labour will release a new document that it claims shows how David Cameron has failed to implement seven-day opening for GP surgeries as he promised before the last election. The original poster depicts a queue to an Unemployment Office . Mr Cameron repeated the pledge at last week’s televised leaders debate, claiming he wanted GPs to open ‘all the way through the week’. But official figures show the proportion of GP practices offering extended hours has fallen from 77 per cent in 2009 to 72 per cent in the latest figures for 2013/14. Labour said this means 590 fewer GP surgeries are now open at evenings and weekends compared to its last year in office. NHS England’s annual GP-Patient survey of 900,000 patients also shows growing unhappiness with GP surgery opening hours between 2012 and the latest figures for 2015, according to the party. It says there has been an increase of 1.9 million in the number of people saying their surgery is not open at convenient times from 8,393,162 to 10,261,435. Mr Burnham will say: ‘Today, across the country, people will face the frustration of joining a queue to see their GP – in some places the lines will go out of the surgery door. ‘After five years of David Cameron, patients at

Summary: 600 fewer GPs open in the evenings and at weekends, Labour has claimed . Andy Burnham will say the figures are a timely reminder of the ‘NHS crisis’

Mr Brown is also concerned about the 112 police officers who had accessed Cousins’ confidential files 300 times in two days, some of whom were working in regional WA. ‘We want to know why they have accessed these records. It's a breach of trust,’ Mr Brown said. Officers also reportedly accessed files containing information about Daniel Kerr, a fellow former West Coast Eagles player, according to The West Australian. The pair both made headlines in recent months, for different incidents. Mr Brown confirmed to Daily Mail Australia an internal investigation is underway relating to access, but would not confirm or make comment about the people whose records had been accessed.

Nico Rosberg has published a video explaining his row with Lewis Hamilton after the Chinese Grand Prix. Rosberg complained during a heated press conference that his Mercedes team-mate Hamilton, the race winner who was sitting next to him as he spoke, had acted ‘selfishly’ in slowing down to such an extent that he (Rosberg) could have been caught by Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari. Speaking on video more calmly later, Rosberg, who finished second, a place ahead of Vettel, answered questions he had received from fans about the furore. Nico Rosberg responded to a fan who accused Rosberg of 'crying' after he complained about Lewis Hamilton . Lewis Hamilton celebrates his win with the Mercedes team, but Nico Rosberg appears less pleased with 2nd . Hamilton crossed the line to claim his second win of the season and his fourth in China . One asked if he was ‘crying’ – by which the questioner meant moaning or being a poor loser. Rosberg said: ‘You say that I was crying. OK, I respect your opinion, and I’ll keep it in mind and I’ll try to show respect when it’s due going forward.’ Rosberg was a few seconds behind Hamilton when the world champion slowed. So why did he not push on and try to pass his team-mate rather than ask his pit wall engineers to tell Hamilton to speed up so he could move away from Vettel? Hamilton and Rosberg spray champagne from the podium as Mercedes celebrate a one-two finish . Rosberg was clearly angry with Hamilton in the press conference and hit out at his team-mate . ‘I understand why you’re asking that,’ said Rosberg to that question. ‘It might not be so easy to understand from the outside. But the reason is, I did try to attack Lewis in the first stint, and it just didn’t work. All I did was destroy my tyres. ‘So in the second stint there was no point to do that again, because this time there was Vettel right behind and it would’ve really risked my second place if I had tried that, because I would have completely destroyed my tyres, again, and Vettel could have had a really good shot at overtaking me. My only chance of winning the race anyway, or to fight Lewis, or try to overtake him, would have come at the end of the race, so that’s what I was building up to.’ Rosberg made the video – he posts his thoughts following each race – after discussing the incident with his team management before leaving the Shanghai track. The British driver denied he had done anything wrong following Rosberg's accusations . Hamilton backed his corner when it was claimed that he had scuppered his team-mate's race . He added: ‘It was definitely intense after the race, but we had a very good sit down, a good discussion. There was a lot of constructive criticism, and now it’ s a thing of the past for everybody and we’re moving on to Bahrain. ‘The worst part of the weekend was losing out

The wife of a man jailed for killing his own brother has vowed to stand by her man. Mark Lowe, 32, from Skelmersdale, Lancashire, is currently serving a five-year sentence for beating and kicking his brother Wayne to death, after Wayne, then 33, attacked him in his bed with a knife. Mark's wife Sarah is now looking after three young children alone and said: '[Mark] will regret what he did for the rest of his life, because he loved his brother.' Mark Lowe, 32 (left), is currently serving a five year sentence for beating and kicking his brother Wayne (right) to death, but his wife Sarah (bottom) is standing by her man . Mark appeared before Liverpool Crown Court Court earlier this year. The court heard that Mark had killed his brother after Wayne tried to stab him during a drink-fuelled day of fighting at his mum's house on September 7 last year. Mark then kicked Wayne, 33, to death and was charged with his murder. But prosecutors accepted a manslaughter plea 'on the basis of a loss of control' as he was first attacked by a knife-wielding Wayne. Mark pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was last month jailed for five years. Sarah said: 'What Mark did was wrong. Wayne's death has shattered our whole family. Mark's wife (left) is now looking after three young children alone, including Jaiden, one, (center) and said, 'Mark (right) will regret what he did for the rest of his life, because he loved his brother' Mark killed his brother Wayne (pictured) after he tried to stab him during a drink-fuelled day of fighting at his mum's house on September 7 last year . Mark and Wayne, pictured as children, were said to be close, but Wayne had a dangerous temper and it was usually Mark who would 'calm him down' and act as peacemaker . 'Of the two brothers, Mark was always the peacemaker, stepping in to calm Wayne down. I always feared that Wayne would be the one to hurt him - not the other way round. 'It was said in court that Wayne had even attacked his own mother. He was well-known to the police and he had attacked officers too. 'But on that occasion, for the first time, Mark fought back, and he snapped. But I have to stand by him. Mark is a nurse and a good man and a loving father.' Mark and Sarah, both mental health nurses, met in 2004, working in a nursing home. Sarah said: 'We were both seeing other people but there was a spark between us that we couldn't ignore. 'Mark was a big football fan, a real man's man, but he had a heart of gold and was very compassionate. 'My dad was ill with cancer, and Mark and I both looked after him until he died. 'My mum had died a couple of years earlier and so I had hardly any family left. Instead, I became a part of Mark's family. Sarah describes her husband (pictured) as being a loving father to their three

Jenson Button was denied his 100th race for McLaren after an Energy Recovery System prevented him from making it to the start-line. It capped a miserable weekend for the Briton; his time in Bahrain plagued by reliability issues. Button spent much of the race on Twitter delivering his verdict as the action unfolded. 'Kimi is the man to watch,’ and ‘loving the sparks’, were among his pearls of wisdom, but the tweet which courted the most attention was a rather mischievous one: ‘Ooh is Lewis backing his team mate into Vettel?’ he quizzed after Rosberg accused Hamilton of pulling off such a manoeuvre in China. Jenson Button waves to the crowd ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix which he failed to start . Perhaps a career in the media beckons… . Lewis Hamilton has out-qualified and finished ahead of Nico Rosberg at every race this season. Indeed Rosberg has now beaten his Mercedes team-mate only once in the 11 races since the pair infamously collided in Belgium last year. Hamilton secured the 36th win of his career in Bahrain and his 21st from pole position. Only Michael Schumacher (40), Ayrton Senna (29) and Sebastian Vettel (27) have more. He also became only the sixth F1 driver to lead 2,000 laps. Nico Rosberg has been left in the shade by Lewis Hamilton who celebrates winning his third race of the year . Kimi Raikkonen secured a record seventh podium finish in Bahrain following his superb late salvo, although the Ferrari driver has never won in the Gulf Kingdom. It was the Finn’s first trip to the rostrum since the 2013 Korean Grand Prix, but his triumph brought a typically deadpan response: ‘You're never happy when you finish second… I'm a bit pleased to get a result.’ Sparks fly off the back of Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari en route to finishing second in Bahrain . Bernie Ecclestone was in the Bahrain paddock this weekend. He denied trying to engineer a deal for Hamilton, out of contract at the end of the season, to join Ferrari despite earlier insisting that such a move would be ‘great’ for the sport. The 84-year-old also confirmed that F1 would be in Azerbaijan for the first time next year, even with concerns surrounding the country’s human rights record. ‘I think everybody seems to be happy,’ Ecclestone said. ‘There doesn't seem to be any big problem there. There's no question of it not being on the calendar. It's going to be another good race.’ Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone speaks to Nico Rosberg ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix .

From moisturising skin to beating bacterial infections, coconut oil was the health food du jour in 2014. But there's a new superfood on the block, which is thought to enhance your mood, renew skin and even help with menopause symptoms. Reaping with beauty and health benefits, experts say it's time to replace coconut oil with pumpkin seed oil, which is being touted as the the new must-have - and, of course, health aficionado Gwyneth Paltrow is already a fan. Health gurus are touting pumpkin seed oil as the next big thing - and say it can help enhance your mood, renew skin and even reduce menopause symptoms (just ask Gwyneth Paltrow, who features it in many of her recipes in her book, It's All Good) Much like coconut oil, pumpkin seed oil is thought to help boost shiny locks. Pumpkin seeds are rich in vitamins A, K and E, as well as vital minerals and fatty acids, which can help strengthen hair and even help boost hair growth. When applied to the lengths of your locks, PowerHealth, who supply the health produce, say it hydrates hair follicles giving shiny and lustrous strands. It also apparently has similar skin-boosting benefits. With high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidants, pumpkin seed oil helps promote normal cell structure and retains moisture, which ensures skin is hydrated and youthful. Zinc and vitamin E from the pumpkin seed can also improve the skin’s healing process, helping to fight off acne, beat scarring and maintain skin renewal. Pumpkin seeds, left, are rich in vitamins A, K and E, as well as vital minerals and fatty acids, which can help, strengthen hair. The oil, right, can be drizzled onto food or applied directly to skin and hair to help boost your beauty and health . Studies have even found that pumpkin seeds are a mood-boosting food. Pumpkin seeds and chia seeds topped a top-ten list of mood-boosting foods compiled by dietitian Sarah Schenker and food psychologist Christy Fergusson. One of the richest sources of tryptophan, pumpkin seeds increase production of serotonin, a hormone that can help improve people’s mood and help us feel relaxed. With a high zinc content, which plays a central role in boosting the immune system and cell division, pumpkin seeds can increase brain power by enhancing memory and focus, claim nutritionists. The potent seeds are also thought to help beat menopausal symptoms. The little seeds are said to be rich in natural phytoestrogens, which can decrease blood pressure, headaches, hot flushes, joint pain and other menopausal symptoms. Pumpkin seeds, pictured, topped a top-ten list of mood-boosting foods compiled by dietitian Sarah Schenker and food psychologist Christy Fergusson . Nutritional therapist Angela Falaschi told The Telegraph: 'Hot ﬂushes are one of the most common and distressing symptoms of the menopause, with extreme highs and lows in temperature causing episodes of profuse sweating. 'I often recommend supplementing the diet with isoﬂavonoids (naturally occurring compounds) by incorporating chick peas, soya, lentils and pumpkin seeds into your meals.' Gwyneth Paltrow, who penned cookbook It's All Good, loves
