A Holocaust survivor who last week forgave a 93-year-old former SS officer - known as the 'bookkeeper of death' - has angered her fellow plaintiffs by saying he should not be prosecuted. Eva Mozes Kor, 81, who publicly embraced Oskar Groening in court last week in an extraordinary act of forgiveness, called for the prosecutions of former SS officers to end. By doing so, she faced criticism from her co-plaintiffs in the case who suggested she should not have taken part in the trial in Germany. Scroll down for video . Embrace: Seventy years after Auschwitz was liberated, Eva Kor embraced former Nazi guard Oskar Groening . Survivor: Eva Kor spoke of how Josef Mengele stood over her bed and laughed when she was injected with a 'deadly germ' Regret: Groening (pictured) described in chilling detail Wednesday how cattle cars full of Jews were brought to the Auschwitz death camp, the people stripped of their belongings and then led directly into gas chambers . Mrs Kor made her comments during a television appearance last night discussing the purpose of the trial. She argued that any Nazis still alive should instead come forward to speak publicly about what they did to help counter the threat of neo-Nazi Holocaust deniers in Germany. In response, her co-plaintiffs released a statement through their lawyers today saying: 'Our clients would not comment here – who better than a survivor of Auschwitz knows that everyone needs to find their own way to overcome their suffering – if Mrs Kor did not repeatedly stage her 'forgiveness' publicly. 'The subject of this criminal procedure is NOT that Mr Groening has done anything personally to Mrs Kor or any of the other co-plaintiffs. 'Whether it is Mrs Kor's place to forgive Mr Groening's participation in the murder of her relatives is up to everyone to decide for themselves. 'But if Mrs Kor says "these prosecutions must stop" then she should not have become a co-plaintiff.' The statement added: 'We cannot forgive Mr Groening his participation in the murder of our relatives and another 299,000 people – especially since he feels free from any legal guilt. 'We want justice and we welcome the resolution that this trial brings.' Justice: Mrs Kor's co-plaintiffs said they could not forgive Mr Groening for his participation in the murders . In court in Luneburg last Wednesday Mrs Kor detailed how she and her twin sister Miriam were forced to endure horrifying medical experiments at Auschwitz by Josef Mengele, known as the 'Angel of Death'. She told the hearing how they evaded being gassed on arrival at the death camp thanks to Mengele's twisted obsession with twins. He experimented on twins in a sickening attempt to develop genetic techniques for Hitler's dream of creating a 'pure' Aryan race. Mengele used 1,500 sets of twins in his experiments, and only an estimated 180 to 250 individuals survived. Despite her ordeal, Mrs Kor found the compassion to forgive her Nazi tormentors - and even unofficially adopted the grandson of SS commander Rudolf Hoess, who oversaw the murder of more

Like with all the previous drug transactions, police videotaped and recorded the audio of Heineman’s encounter with the cop. Heineman then left, but police took down her license plate number and were able to identify her. The woman was apprehended by police at Central Avenue Elementary at the end of the school day Wednesday and charged with a slew of counts of sale and delivery of Schedule IV narcotics; sale and delivery of a controlled substance; conspiracy, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Wife and mother: Heineman is married (pictured here with her husband) and has three sons .

'I feel fit enough and strong enough to bowl in the high-80s if I need to but I'm also sensible enough to realise you can't do it all the time,' he said.

Officers who rushed to the scene of the Colorado theater shooting entered a hellish world of bloody victims, noxious smells and blaring sounds - a gloomy darkness pierced by bright flashes from a fire alarm, police testified Wednesday. 'It was dim, the movie was still playing, the alarm was going off,' Aurora police officer Annette Brook told jurors in the trial of gunman James Holmes. 'I began to notice the bodies, the live victims, the blood.'

American Eagle Flight 2536 was scheduled to fly about 125 miles from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to Wichita Falls, Texas, on Sunday night. The plane left nearly a half-hour late, and when it got to Wichita Falls, the pilot told passengers that the runway lights were turned off and there was nobody at the airport to turn them on, according to officials in the city of 100,000 people.

Like many other small airports where control towers are not staffed around the clock, pilots in Wichita Falls can operate the runway lights with their radio system. But on Tuesday, city aviation director John Burrus said that Sheppard Air Force Base, which shares the facility, had closed the runway and turned off the lights. Burrus said Sheppard notified pilots of the closure. He added that the American Eagle jet could have landed on an adjacent, 10,000-foot runway that was lit. A spokesman for ExpressJet, a regional carrier that operated the flight under contract with American Airlines, said late Tuesday that the airline was still trying to determine what happened. 'The pilot attempted to activate the lights, but he couldn't do so,' said Jarek Beem, the ExpressJet spokesman. He said he didn't know why the pilot didn't land on the shorter runway. 'We're still reviewing the entire incident.' Beem said the pilot circled Wichita Falls for about 30 minutes before giving up and turning back to DFW. The plane, with 45 passengers, made an otherwise uneventful midnight landing at DFW after a one hour, 40-minute flight, according to tracking service FlightAware.com.

With Britons downing a caffeine-shake-inducing average of 70 million cups of coffee per day, Pret has revealed a secret that the nation may want take note of - how to get a free cup. Clive Schlee, chief executive of the coffee giant, revealed he has given his staff the power to hand out a coffee on the house to people they like or fancy. 'The staff have to give away a certain number of hot drinks and food every week,' Mr Schlee said. Scroll down for video . FEMAIL writer Deni Kirkova travelled to four different Pret A Manger shops in London to find out what it takes to get a free coffee from staff. Here she is after failing to secure a freebie at their Gloucester Road store . 'They will decide "I like the person on the bicycle" or "I like the guy in that tie" or "I fancy that girl or that boy." So, do the staff at Pret ever take advantage of their enabled good will? And what does it take to secure a free morning caffeine hit? FEMAIL decided to find out. Deni Kirkova, 24, paid a visit to six different Prets across London. On three of the visits, she wore no make-up, her glasses and a casual outfit consisting of jeans and a plain top. Before paying a visit to the next three coffee shops, she amped up the glamour by removing her glasses, applying a full face of make-up and donning a little red dress with a fair share of cleavage and leg on show. Deni then returned to High Street Kensington to find out whether she could bag a free coffee in her glam getup - and went into the South Kensington branch twice to find out if the result would differ depending on whether it was a man or woman serving. Here's how Deni - who didn't tell the staff she was a journalist until after she had been handed her drink - got on... Deni, dressed 'plainly', fails to get a free coffee at Pret in High Street Kensington (l) and Notting Hill Gate . Deni paid a visit to Pret's High Street Kensington, Notting Hill Gate and Queensway outlets, where she tried three different approaches: nonchalant, sad and friendly. Dressed in her casual attire, she popped into High Street Kensington's Pret just as she normally would: making little effort but still being polite. She left with a coffee - and a dent in her purse. At Notting Hill Gate's shop, she decided to put her acting skills to good use. She said: 'It was a fellow female who served me, she was really glamorous herself and I just figured that flirting was out of the question here. 'So, I went for the "sad" approach. I told her how bad my day had been and asked her how she was but while she smiled a lot, she still charged me. Feeling annoyed, I paid and left.' At the Queensway shop, Deni was feeling lucky.

The naked bodies of a young couple were found stuffed in boxes in India after becoming victims of a suspected honour killing. Locals discovered the dead pair, believed to be in their mid to late 20s, in separate metal trunks in a public park in Haryana state, around 30 miles south of New Delhi. Police said the man's legs had been chopped off and put inside the trunk, while his partner was found wearing a set of glass bangles traditionally worn by newlywed women. Macabre: The naked bodies of a young couple are found stuffed in boxes in a northern Indian state, the suspected victims of an honour killing . 'It appears they were strangulated and dumped here later. They are yet to be identified,' the chief investigating officer, Praveen Kumar, told AFP. 'It seems like a case of honour killing because the woman is wearing wedding bangles but we are not ruling out other motives,' he added. India has witnessed honour killings - where couples are targeted because their families or communities disapprove of their relationships - for centuries, especially in rural areas. They are carried out by close relatives or village elders to protect what is seen as the family's reputation and pride in a hereditary-based caste system. The latest incident comes two days after Haryana police arrested a man and his son for killing his teenage daughter over an inter-caste relationship with a boy. In 2013, a man was beheaded and his wife was killed by her own family for eloping within the same clan. Locals discovered the dead pair, believed to be in their mid to late 20s, in separate metal trunks in a public park in Haryana state, around 30 miles south of New Delhi .

Radio DJ Neil Fox forced himself on a girl of 13 at a theme park after she asked him to pose for a photo, it was alleged yesterday. Fox – known to his millions of listeners as Dr Fox – also indecently assaulted two star-struck girls under the age of 16 at a motor show, a court heard. The 53-year-old is accused of a total of nine offences against three girls and three women over 23 years. One alleged victim says Fox repeatedly assaulted her at Capital Radio’s studios in Leicester Square. Scroll down for video . Support: DJ 'Dr' Neil Fox leaves court with his wife Vicky where he denied nine sex attacks on six victims - including three children . Two others say they were sexually touched against their will by him at Magic FM’s studios in Central London. Fox denies seven counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual touching without consent against six females between 1991 and 2014. As the charges were put at Westminster Magistrates Court, his barrister Jonathan Caplan QC asked for reporting restrictions to be lifted because there had been false statements about the charges on social media. Fox, who wore a dark pinstripe suit and was accompanied to court by his wife Vicky, asked for his case to be heard by a district judge at the court, rather than facing a jury trial. Prosecutor Darren Watts told the court: ‘The Crown argue that the complaints show a consistent and determined pattern of sexual predatory behaviour.’ He said Fox, a former Pop Idol judge, allegedly assaulted two girls at a motor show in Bromley, South East London, in the summer of 1991 while appearing there as a DJ. Mr Watts said: ‘In relation to the first allegation the complainant was approximately 13 or 14 years of age. She... asked for a photograph with him and he is said to have kissed her and forced his tongue down into her mouth.’ Fox, who denies sex attacks on women and children, smiles after he left today's hearing . A second teenager alleged Fox kissed her and put his hand up her skirt. The attack on the 13-year-old girl at Chessington World of Adventures in Surrey took place in 1996 and allegedly involved Fox forcing his tongue into her mouth after she asked for a photo. He faces four charges of indecent assault against a former female colleague at Capital Radio, where he worked from 1993 to 2005. The woman claims he squeezed her breasts and would regularly grope her bottom. Fox, of Chelsea, was granted bail and is next due in court on April 30. Fox was first arrested in September last year and the DJ, who categorically denies the allegations, was then questioned for more than seven hours over four alleged offences. At the same time, officers swooped on his £3million home. Darren Watts, prosecuting said: 'In relation to the second allegation the victim was approximately 15, at the same motor show. 'The defendant was present and has again been asked for a photograph, and

Summary: 53-year-old presenter, known as Dr Fox, faces nine separate charges . Charges relating to children allegedly took place between 1991 and 1996 . Other three women were allegedly attacked by Fox between 2003 and 2014 . DJ's lawyers said he 'categorically denies each and every allegation'


Among the green rolling hills in the Larung Gar Valley in China, the last thing you would expect to see in the countryside are thousands of red wooden huts that have been built in a massive cluster. Despite its secluded location it is home to the Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, the world's largest Buddhist settlement. A vibrant splash of red, this colourful settlement has sprung up in the 1980s and is now a haven for over 40,000 monks and nuns. Larung Gar Buddhist Academy is home to 40,000 monks and nuns, who travel to the settlement of Sertar to study Tibetan Buddhism . The red and brown houses are nearly identical, with one to three rooms per hut and no heating or toilets installed . The settlement is home to 40,000 nuns and monks, who flock to study, attend lectures and dwell in the mountains . Local children gather after class on one of the banks in the hilly religious institution. Monks and nuns are segregated by a winding road . The sprawling settlement, Sertar, sits on elevations of 12,500ft, and the religious devotees battle harsh climates to study at the remote dwelling. The wooden huts are built so closely together, they look like a red sea spreading up the hilly terrain. Nuns and monks are housed near to their colleges, and separated by age and sex. The segregation of male and female living quarters is marked by a winding road, which weaves through the dense mass of huts. All monks and nuns live close to the college but are housed in different district according the age and sex of students . Prayer forms an important part in the life of the monks who travel from multiple countries to attend lectures and classes in the area . Sky burials are common in the province of Tibet and involve corpses being cut and left for animals to devour. The human bodies are placed on mountaintops in order for the elements or predatory animals, typically vultures, to prey upon it. The majority of Tibetans and many Mongolians adhere to Vajrayana Buddhism, which teaches the transmigration of spirits. They believe after death the body is an empty vessel and there is no need to preserve it. By allowing nature or animals to take command of the body, they are disposing of the remains in the most generous way. In many areas of Tibet and Qinghai, the ground is too hard and rocky to dig a grave, and, due to the scarcity of fuel and timber, sky burials were typically more practical. Conditions are basic, with residents having to share communal toilets, and each unheated hut ranging from one to three rooms in size. An isolated religious haven, Sertar is located around 370 miles from Chengdu, and those wishing to visit have to travel by coach for a gruelling 20 hours. TVs are prohibited at the picturesque retreat, with monks and nuns flocking to benefit from the studies, prayers and lectures ran at the academy. The settlement has grown from a handful of disciples in the

Summary: The Larung Gar Buddhist Academy in China has basic amenities for the 40,000 monks and nuns who stay there . The secluded location is 370 miles from Chengdu and has grown dramatically since its creation . TVs are banned, and the huts of monks and nuns are segregated by a winding road through the middle .

The man also said one of the men pulled out a gun and aimed it at him before firing a round off into the sky outside the bar and causing 'an immediate panic'. The Talibs left the area in a Range Rover and a Jaguar and went to the XTC Cabaret. Police found the brothers at the second club and impounded the vehicles to look for evidence.

The daughter of Chicago socialite Sheila Von Wiese-Mack accused of brutally murdering her mother during a Bali vacation will turn over a 'significant percentage' of her $1.3million trust fund to care for her newborn daughter. Vanessa Favia, attorney for 19-year-old Heather Mack, has filed court documents for her client agreeing to turn over funds for the care of four-month-old Stella. CBS reports the petition asks for around a half a million dollars to be transferred to Stella, who was born in Kerobakan Prison and who has urgent needs, including clothing and baby wipes. Scroll down for video . Child care: A US-based attorney for Heather Mack, 19, who is accused of murdering her socialite mother in Bali, has filed for about half a million dollars to be transferred to Mack's daughter Stella from Mack's trust fund . Heather Mack smiles at her baby daughter Stella before her sentencing hearing in Denpasar, Bali, in March . Mack wept as prosecutors said she should be sentenced to 15 years - but spared her the death penalty . 'What ever your opinion of the adults in this case, I believe everyone would agree that the baby bears no culpability in this truly sad affair,' Favia said in a press release. Mack filed a claim in court back in February that her uncle, Wiese-Mack's brother and trustee of her estate, had blocked her access to the funds, according to NBC. A judge ordered $150,000 be released to pay for Mack's defense, along with another $2,240 for living expenses, but required that Mack not share the money with anyone. Indonesian officials accused Mack of helping her 21-year-old boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, murder her mother at a luxury Bali hotel before stuffing her body in a suitcase last August. The pair are awaiting sentencing, with prosecutors having asked for a sentence of 15 years for Mack and 18 for Schaefer.

As she waited in the cell, nervously puffing on a cigarette, Mack added that she and her co-accused boyfriend were married 'in spirit.' She said: 'He has made us a ring each to wear from his side of the prison.' She held up a hand revealing a red plastic ring. 'Tommy's is blue,' she added. Jail sentences of less than 20 years for each of the

As he cuddles his beautiful baby grandson, David Suchet looks every inch the proud grandfather. But behind the smiles, he is battling hard to help the little boy face the future with an incurable genetic disease. Suchet, best known as the star of TV series Poirot, is fighting for better treatment for those with rare diseases and has criticised ‘disorganisation’ in the NHS for slowing down the process. His grandson Todd, who is about to celebrate his first birthday, has the rare condition Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. So close: David Suchet with his grandson Todd, who has the rare genetic illness Tuberous Sclerosis Complex . Those with the disease can live a full life but may develop tumours in organs such as the brain and heart and suffer from epilepsy and learning or behavioural difficulties. Suchet, 68, revealed his grandchild was diagnosed with the condition shortly after birth. He said ‘mismanagement in the admin side’ of the NHS means he is not receiving treatment that could help him. Todd is the son of Suchet’s son Robert, a 33-year-old fitness coach. In February MPs raised concerns that slow NHS decision making was blocking patients with incurable diseases from accessing vital drugs. But now Suchet has taken up the battle to ensure his grandson can receive treatment, and is encouraging Twitter users to voice their support with the hashtag #Fight4Treatment. He explained: ‘The condition was discovered when he was just a few weeks old when he started having fits. He had an MRI and was found to have TSC. Some people don’t discover it until later on in life and it can manifest itself in various different phases.’ Speaking about medication that could help Todd, Suchet added: ‘The drugs are available but we can’t get them. ‘There are many reasons why we don’t have access to them but there seems to be such disorganisation and mismanagement in the admin side that it’s all gone pear-shaped and people are suffering.’ The actor has become involved in fundraising for the Tuberous Sclerosis Association charity and narrated a video for its campaign. He explained: ‘#Fight4Treatment is fighting to get drugs for rare diseases and non-rare diseases available from the NHS, to give to sufferers who would benefit. They’re so expensive, it’s almost immoral.’ Suchet, 68, left, and as Poirot, right, said ‘mismanagement in the admin side’ of the NHS means his grandson is not receiving treatment that could help him . In the video he urges people to contact their local MPs to raise the issue with the Health Secretary. He says the family try to be optimistic about his grandson’s prognosis, adding: ‘It’s incurable, but we remain hopeful that we will find something to manage it for him.’ In 2013 it was announced that after over 20 years of playing the Belgian detective, Suchet had decided to say goodbye to Hercule Poirot. He first took the role in 1989, but said the character would not be reprised as every Agatha Christie book about him had been filmed. However Suchet, who is a devout Christian, will be returning

Mark-Francis's most expensive watch is a Cartier white gold Moonphase (left), while one of his flashiest is a Bulgari Bulgari Chrono 42 (right) It cost £32,000 and caught his eye because it has a sun or a moon than move on rotation depending on the hour of the day. One of the flashiest watches in his collection is the Bulgari Bulgari Chrono 42, which he purchased on holiday in Italy and can be bought secondhand on the internet for £6,5000. He said of the item: 'When I was 16 my grandmother gave me the first prototype of the Bulgari Bulgari, which the Bulgari family had given her in the 1950s - I think it's one of the only ones that was actually hand engraved around the bezel.' Mark-Francis ended up buying this modern version after he fell into a river wearing his grandmother's version while out rowing at school.

Similar versions can be bought on the internet for around £9,000. He told the newspaper: 'Cartier doesn't make this one any more, which I love. I did see someone else wearing it once, however - I was at the Wolseley and it was this fat American, I was mortified.' And finally, for the man

Online marriage proposals and star-struck children are a regular feature of Rae Johnston's life. But the 33-year-old Sydney based tech and gaming journalist, who is known for dressing up as Wonder Woman in her spare time - as well as her sideline zombie and Huntress costumes - insists she's a geek through and through. Ms Johnston is one of the growing number of Australians who are dressing up in hand-made costumes of their favourite comic book, television show or movie characters in the name of cosplay - a trend that has exploded online and at conventions across the globe. Rae Johnston said she receives regular online proposals for her signature cosplay Wonder Woman outfit . The 33-year-old Sydney based tech and gaming journalist has been selected to host the Cosplay championships at this year's Oz Comic-Con - the official Australian version of the internationally renowned pop culture convention, the San Diego Comic-Con . 'I specialise in Wonder Woman. She's my signature character and eventually, I'm working my way through all of her costumes. But I also love group Cosplay which is when a bunch of us get together and have a theme like the walking dead and we'll go to a convention and just walk around the floor being those characters,' Ms Johsnton told Daily Mail Australia. 'I got into cosplay about three years ago, which is not long considering I've been going to conventions since I was little, but I had no crafting skills. Then I discovered there are all these tutorials online and on social media - all these ways of accessing information on how to make costumes and I thought: if I'm going to learn to sew, then I'm going to learn to sew Wonder Woman.' Countless hours and hundreds of dollars have gone into some of her costumes, but Ms Johnstone said many cosplay costume makers prided themselves on spending under $10 on a single costume - ripping apart old ones and including things they had around the house - while others fork our thousands of dollars for the perfect materials. Ms Johnston says she chose Wonder Woman as her signature - with each costume taking up to six weeks to make - because of her empowering character and 'compassion'. 'She always leans towards non-violence first and is very diplomatic - for example one of her weapons is her lasso of truth. She's a fantastic role model for younger girls and I do a lot of charity events dressed as her, like hospital visits for disabled and underprivileged children where we just rock up and brighten up their day. It took her six weeks to create her Wonder Woman outift, but she says she plans to work her way through all of the super hero's costumes . Ms Johnston said that what was once considered traditionally 'geeky' has become quite mainstream, with more and more Australians connecting to cosplay stars online . 'But I also love group Cosplay which is when a bunch of us get together and have a theme like the walking dead and we'll go

Vladmir Lenin may have been dead for 90 years, but his corpse looks better than the day he passed. This is the claim made by his embalmers, who have developed experimental techniques to maintain the look and feel of the communist revolutionary's body. They brag that their technique has been the result of almost a century of fine-tuning, creating a science that has benefited real-world medical applications. Scroll down for video . Vladmir Lenin may have been dead for 90 years, but his corpse looks better than the day he passed. This is the claim made by his embalmers, who have developed experimental techniques to maintain the look and feel of the communist revolutionary's body. Pictured is his body in 1997 . The gruesome job is the responsibility of a team known as the 'Mausoleum group' which, at its peak, involved 200 scientists working in a lab dedicated to the former leader's corpse. According to a detailed report by Jeremy Hsu in Scientific American, the Russians prefer to preserve the body's shape, weight, colour and flexibility, rather than biological tissue. 'They have to substitute occasional parts of skin and flesh with plastics and other materials,' Alexei Yurchak, professor of social anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley told Mr Hsu. 'That makes it dramatically different from everything in the past, such as mummification.' Yurchak has published a paper on this project in the journal Representations, along with a book, 'Everything Was Forever, until It Was No More: The Last Soviet Generation.' The Bolshevik leader's remains were embalmed on Stalin's orders when he died aged 53 in 1924 and kept on display in Moscow apart from a period in the Second World War . The revolutionary's body is on public display in a mausoleum on Moscow's Red Square more than two decades after the break-up of the former USSR. Vladmir Lenin was behind the Bolshevik take-over of power in Russia in 1917. He was also the architect and first head of the USSR. Born in Simbirsk, he was expelled from university for his radical policies while studying law. This prompted him to move to St Petersburg, where he became a revolutionary. He was arrested and exiled to Siberia. He later spent most of his time in western Europe, where he became the leader of the 'Bolshevik' faction of the Russian Social Democratic Worker's Party. In 1917, Lenin returned to Russia where he led what was to be known as the October Revolution. Around three years of civil war followed in which millions died. In 1918, Lenin survived an assassination attempt, but was severely wounded. In 1922 he suffered a stroke from which he never fully recovered. But this year Russian officials closed Red Square so that scientists could prepare the body for public display during Lenin's 145th birthday anniversary – which took place yesterday. In his book, Yurchak describes how a mild bleach is often used to deal with occasional fungus stains on Lenin's face. One such stain that appeared on Lenin's cheek had the embalmers worried for their lives when they were

Summary: Embalmers substitute parts of flesh with plastics and other materials . A mild bleach is often used to deal with fungus stains on Lenin's face . The body is covered in glycerol and potassium acetate every 2 years . At one time, 200 scientists were working to help preserve Lenin's body .

The brutal murder of Emmanuel Sithole was captured on camera and shocking images show men stabbing him and beating him with a wrench. Anti-immigrant violence has spread across South Africa in recent weeks and the government has now sent in troops to control the riots. Four South African men suspected of killing Mozambican national Emmanuel Sithole in Alexandra township in an apparent xenophobic attack, are arraigned at the Wynberg Magistrate Court in Johannesburg . The brutal attack on Mr Sithole in Alexandra township near Johannesburg on Saturday was captured on camera by a local journalist and published across the world the following day. They show the four men surrounding the Mozambican man, before repeatedly stabbing him with knives and bludgeoning him with a wrench in broad daylight. Witnesses took Mr Sithole to a nearby medical centre but found it was closed because the foreign-born duty doctor had failed to turn up for his shift for fear of being attacked by the xenophobic hordes rampaging through the township. Mr Sithole was taken to hospital where he later died, the cause of death was established as a direct stab wound to the heart. The four men accused of his murder will remain in custody until a full trial, set to be held on May 4th.

Mauricio Pochettino might have given up hope of qualifying for the Champions League, but Harry Kane won’t hear any of it. The 21-year-old, who became the youngest Premier League captain this season during the drab goalless draw against Burnley on Easter Sunday, still retains belief they can gatecrash the top-four party. Spurs are now seven points behind Manchester City, who play Crystal Palace on Monday night, with just seven games remaining. Harry Kane believes Tottenham still have a chance of qualifying for the Champions League this season . It looks a tall order, but Kane - who hailed his last few days as the ‘best week of my life’ - thinks they can make it. 'It's going to be tricky, we're quite a few points behind now,’ Kane said. 'But in this league you never know. We've got winnable games coming up and we focus on them. ‘We take each game as it comes and see where that takes us. We start on Saturday [at home against Aston Villa].’ Kane has 29 club goals under Pochettino this season and is the main reason Tottenham have lasted the pace until now. Kane could not find a way to break the deadlock for Tottenham in their 0-0 draw at Turf Moor on Sunday . Throwing him the armband was a move bourne out of necessity by the manager, and it was something he relished. 'It's a real honour, a very proud moment for myself to lead the side out,’ Kane added. ‘It's very special for me. Hopefully there is more to come in the years to come. 'We've got a lot of leaders in the team. It's a very young team and everyone has their say. To be given the armband by the gaffer is a proud moment. But there are a lot of captains out there and we all try and work to the same aim.’ At just 21 years and 251 days, the Tottenham striker led out his side for the first time in draw with Burnley . He and Burnley’s Danny Ings are also working to the same aim - bidding to work their way into the thoughts of England manager Roy Hodgson ahead of next summer’s European Championships in France. Both will be handed spots in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the Under 21 Euros at the end of this season. Kane hopes their partnership can be one replicated for the seniors in years to come. Kane and Burnley striker Danny Ings will both be handed spots in Gareth Southgate's Under 21 Euros squad . ‘Turin was a great experience,’ he said. ‘To get my first start for England is another proud moment for me. It was tough and I can only learn from those sort of games. ‘Danny’s a great player. I know him well from the Under 21s. He scores goals and his movement's great. He's a prospect for English football. There are a lot of great English strikers here at the moment, which is good for the country. 'There's competition. We've all got to work hard to retain

Summary: Harry Kane became the youngest Premier League captain this season . The Tottenham striker skippered his side during 0-0 draw with Burnley . Kane still believes Tottenham can qualify for the Champions League .


Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny had more than one reason to celebrate on Saturday. Just hours after he had played the full 120 minutes it took for the Gunners to grind out a 2-1 win in extra-time over Reading in a tense FA Cup semi-final, Szczesny was treated to a lovely birthday surprise courtesy of his singer-songwriter girlfriend Mariana Luczenko.

Szczesny was clearly touched by the efforts of his girlfriend and took to Instagram on Monday to thank her. 'Best birthday ever!' he wrote. Arsenal's triumph over Reading sees them reach the FA Cup final for the second consecutive season, having also won the competition last year against Hull City. This year, it will be Tim Sherwood's Aston Villa who stand between the Gunners and more glory, after they defeated Liverpool in the other semi-final on Sunday. Szczesny joined Arsenal's academy in 2006 from hometown club Legia Warsaw and graduated to the first-team in three years later. Although he has racked up nearly 200 appearances for the north London outfit since then, this season has raised question marks over Szczesny's long-term future. He was caught smoking in the wake of Arsenal's 2-0 Premier League loss at Southampton on New Year's Day and has only made Cup appearances since then. Factor in the form of fellow goalkeeper David Ospina, who inherited Szczesny's role in the league and there is a cloud of uncertainty around the Polish stopper.

The British Army is struggling to recruit enough technical experts for a secretive psychological warfare unit intended to combat Islamic State’s domination of the internet and social media. The specialised 77 Brigade, launched with great fanfare in January in response to the jihadis’ mastery of online propaganda, is in disarray after failing to enlist the right personnel. Earlier this year, it was widely reported that the brigade would be made up of 2,000 social media and psychological warfare exponents who would enable UK forces to fight wars ‘in the information age’. But The Mail on Sunday can reveal that even when fully operational, the brigade will number just 454 regular and reservist troops. And in a letter to his troops, the brigade’s commander says he has failed to recruit enough ‘talent’ to challenge IS’s ascendency online. The British Army is struggling to recruit enough technical experts for a secretive psychological warfare unit intended to combat Islamic State’s domination of the internet and social media (stock image above) Brigadier Alastair Aitken says he needs computer whizzkids skilled in ‘social media, financial operations and counter-criminality’ but admits that civilians with the relevant experience are not natural recruits for the Army. The role of these keyboard warriors was expected to include covertly leaking messages about British successes to the enemy, via platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, and contacting jihadis directly to spread false information. Brigadier Aitken’s letter adds: ‘We are potentially not attracting the broadest range of talent from across the nation. ‘Capacities such as social media, financial operations and counter-criminality will need an increased diversity of talent, opinions, skills and viewpoints. Members of ISIS regularly post on social media and just two days ago French television network TV5Monde was hacked by individuals claiming to belong to the group . ‘We may need to redesign our terms and conditions of service to attract those that have these skills.’ The letter suggests some reservist troops will lose their posts in 77 Brigade, while many soldiers do not know what roles they will be assigned. Sources say this has led to a ‘mutinous atmosphere’ at the brigade’s HQ – Denison Barracks in Hermitage, Berkshire. Last night, the Ministry of Defence said reservists who lost their posts in 77 Brigade will be offered alternative roles.

Summary: Team needed to help decrease Islamic State's domination of the internet . Role includes leaking messages about British successes to enemy . Previously reported that brigade would be made up of 2,000 experts . It will now have just 454 regular and reservist troops, MoS revealed .
