The world’s first cloned camel is pregnant, scientists claim. The mother-to-be, whose name is Injaz, was cloned from the ovarian cells of a slaughtered camel in 2009 and born from a surrogate mother. Injaz was six years old this week and is said to have conceived naturally. The world’s first cloned camel is pregnant, scientists claim. The mother-to-be, whose name is Injaz, was cloned from the ovarian cells of a slaughtered camel in 2009 and born by surrogate mother. Injaz is pictured here when she was just six days old . Dr Nisar Wani, scientific director of the Reproductive Biotechnology Centre in Nad Al Sheba, Dubai, told The National: ‘We are very excited because Injaz is now pregnant and we expect to have a calf from her late this year. ‘She has conceived in a natural way. This will prove cloned camels are fertile and can reproduce the same as naturally produced camels.’ The birth of Injaz, whose name means 'achievement' in Arabic, caused great excitement in 2009 and scientists said that cloning would help to preserve the genetics of the camel population. Camels are a valuable commodity in the desert sheikdoms of the Persian Gulf, and are used for racing and transport. They can also produce low-fat milk and can make owners millions of dollars at camel beauty contests. Since Injaz was born, many more animals have been produced by genetic cloning, including one from the cells of a camel beauty pageant winner. It's 19 years since the first mammal was cloned. Dolly the sheep (pictured) was born in Edinburgh using DNA from an adult cell . Since Injaz was born, many more animals have been produced by genetic cloning, including one from the cells of a camel beauty pageant winner, the BBC reported. It took five years of work before Injaz was cloned. She was born on April 8, 2009 weighing 66lbs (30kg), after an uncomplicated gestation of 378 days. The calf was created from cells harvested from the ovary of an adult camel. The cells were then planted into the egg of a surrogate mother. Injaz was confirmed as genetically identical to the camel the cells were taken from, according to United Arab Emirates newspapers at the time. The world's first mammal was cloned 19 years ago. Dolly the sheep was born in Edinburgh using DNA from an adult cell. Dolly was put down in 2003, after being diagnosed with lung disease, but since then, scientists have successfully cloned mice, cows, pigs and dogs as well as camels. Human embryos have been genetically modified so that any changes made will be carried on into future generations for the first time, according to scientists. Researchers around the world are bracing themselves for the results of a study by scientists in China that has introduced DNA changes to reproductive cells. Many scientists have already reacted with horror at the idea, for fear it could be misused to allow parents to 'select' the genes they will pass on to their grandchildren. Human embryos, like the one above, may have been genetically modified

Summary: Cloned camel was born in 2009 and called Inzaz, which means achievement . She was cloned from ovarian cells and born by surrogate mother . Injaz is now six years old and is said to have conceived naturally . She's expected to give birth late this year, proving cloned animals' fertility .


A handful of peanuts a day may help prevent food poisoning, a study has found. Eating the kernels without their skins can improve gut health and the ability to ward off bugs like E.coli, according to the research. Scientists from the University of Maryland found that flour made from peanut kernel significantly stimulated the growth of Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus rhamnosus, the type of friendly bacteria more commonly associated with yoghurt drinks. Eating peanut kernels without their skins can improve gut health and the ability to ward off bugs like E.coli, according to research by the University of Maryland . By increasing the amount of good bacteria, the peanut flour was able to reduce the amount of a dangerous bacterium, Enterohaemorrhagic E.coli, which can cause severe food poisoning. The friendly bacteria out-competes the harmful bacteria by occupying space on intestinal walls and by producing antimicrobial substances. Four made from peanut kernel stimulates the growth of friendly bacteria, research has found . Lead researcher Dr Debabrata Biswas said: ‘Eating approximately 50g of peanut kernels a day could improve the gut microflora and would help to protect against foodborne illnesses caused by common foodborne bacterial pathogens.’ When the scientists tested the peanut skin, however, they found it had the opposite effect to the peanut kernel, inhibiting the growth of good bacteria and promoting the growth of the harmful E.coli and Salmonella bacteria. Writing in the Journal of Food Science, the researchers concluded: ‘These results suggest that peanut kernels, by improving the beneficial effect of lactobacillus, might reduce the risk of foodborne pathogens infection in the gut. ‘However, the role of peanut skin in human health remains to be further investigated.’ E.coli can be transmitted by eating undercooked meat such as mince, or contaminated vegetables that haven’t been washed properly. Salmonella is found in the gut of many animals, especially poultry. Proper cooking usually destroys it. Undercooked eggs can also be a source.

Summary: Flour made from peanut kernel majorly stimulated growth of friendly bacteria . This means it can lower amount of E.Coli, University of Maryland study found . Harmful bacteria is out-competed as friendly takes up space on intestine wall .

Police in Hagerstown, Maryland, are promising a thorough investigation into the death of a man in custody after officers shocked him with a stun gun outside a home he allegedly had broken into. Chief Mark Holtzman says the man died either inside an ambulance, accompanied by two officers, or at the hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly early Friday morning. The man was not carrying identification but police were later able to identify him as Darrell Lawrence Brown, 31, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, they wrote in a statement to Daily Mail Online. Hagerstown police have asked the Washington County Sheriff's Office to investigate the incident. Sheriff Douglas Mullendore says the investigation will be independent and thorough, according to the Herald Mail. Police were called to a reported break in at a house in Hagerstown, Maryland (pictured) before using a Taser on a black man who was staggering around outside . A spokesman for the Washington County Sheriff's Office told the Daily Mail Online that the force was investigating both the actions of the officers as well as any other possible crimes during the incident. Brown was black and all five officers involved are white. Race hasn't been raised as a factor, but it comes amid a national debate about the deaths of black men at the hands of police. Officers used a stun gun to subdue him outside a home he had broken into, prompting the frightened children inside to call 911, according to the Hagerstown Police Department and witnesses. Witnesses said the officers acted professionally in taking Brown down Thursday night as he cursed at police and ignored their commands to get down. An officer fired a stun gun from at least six feet away after the man moved toward him in an aggressive manner, said Robert Holmes, who said he watched the incident. 'They wasn't physical or nothing like that. They were pretty much doing their job,' Holmes said. Police said the man appeared to be under the influence of drugs. They said he remained uncooperative as he was handcuffed and placed in an ambulance. 'At some point, the suspect suffered an unknown medical emergency,' police said in a written statement. They said he was pronounced dead shortly after midnight at the nearby Meritus Medical Center. The Office of the State Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death, said Officer Heather Aleshire, a police spokeswoman. She said she was not aware of any video of the incident. A spokesman for the Office of the State Medical Examiner said they do not comment on cases still under investigation. The man, who has not yet been identified, was said to be under the influence of drugs before police used a Taser and he was pronounced dead at a local hospital . It is not known how many times the man was hit with a Taser, according to Holtzman. Police said the first call reporting a disturbance, with screaming in the background, came into the 911 center around 10.30pm Thursday. A second caller reported that a man

A hat-trick of tries from teenage winger Ash Handley helped Leeds to a handsome 41-16 win over reigning champions St Helens that takes them six points clear at the top of Super League. The 19-year-old Handley got his big chance due to an injury to England winger Tom Briscoe and how he has seized it, with six tries in just six Super League appearances. The Rhinos simply oozed confidence on the back of their five-match winning run while Saints looked fragile as the one-time leaders crashed to a fourth defeat in their last five matches. Leeds veteran Danny McGuire crossed for one of his side's seven tries against St Helens on Friday night . Leeds have now played every other team in Super League and, with just one defeat in their opening 11 matches, will take some stopping as they eye a first league-leaders' title for six years. Handley's first try came against the run of play as he plucked out of the air Josh Jones' pass intended for debutant winger Matty Fleming of the air and sprinted 90 metres to the other end of the pitch. Handling errors by Mark Flanagan and Adam Swift ensured Saints remained on the back foot and they fell further behind on 15 minutes when hugely-impressive prop Adam Cuthbertson kept the ball alive on the last tackle and centre Joel Moon produced a delightful one-handed pass out of the back of his hands to get Handley over again. Stand-off Liam Sutclife, preferred to skipper Kevin Sinfield in Leeds' starting team, justified his selection with a superb break to create a try for full-back Zak Hardaker and his third conversion made it 18-0 in as many minutes. It got even better for the visitors when makeshift centre Carl Ablett split open the Saints defence to get veteran half-back Danny McGuire sprinting over from halfway for a fourth try and this time Sinfield, starting as a substitute for the first time for nearly 12 years, added the goal. Inspired by the never-say-die efforts of England hooker James Roby, St Helens produced their best spell of the match and pulled a try back in fortuitous circumstances when full-back Tom Makinson touched down Jon Wilkin's kick when for all it looked like a knock-on and Travis Burns added the goal. That score suddenly brought the game to life but the Rhinos struck a devastating blow to the champions deep into first-half stoppage time when a break out of defence by Kallum Watkins created the position for Sutcliffe to gift-wrap a third try for Handley courtesy of a pin-point kick to the corner. At 28-6, it looked a hopeless task for the home side but the belated introduction of Australian scrum-half Luke Walsh added a new dimension to their attack and, within four minutes of the restart, he produced a jinking run through the heart of the Leeds defence to create a try for Jordan Turner. The champions were fired up by the score and props Alex Walmsley and Mose Masoe were both held up over the line as they sought

Summary: Ash Handley has now scored six tries in six appearances for Leeds . The Rhinos are now six points clear at the top of Super League . Leeds have lost just once in their opening 11 matches .


Magistrates at Rotherham Magistrates Court took just 15 minutes to find Ms Gaynor not guilty . A mother-of-two was locked in a police cells for six hours and put on bail for seven months before being put on trial for chopping back tree branches hanging over her garden. Karen Gaynor appeared at Rotherham Magistrates Court accused of causing criminal damage by pruning the tree, after a complaint was made by her next door neighbour Kay Daye, as part of a long-running boundary dispute. But magistrates took just 15 minutes to find the 53-year-old not guilty, saying that she had acted with good intentions. The court heard how council officials had told Ms Gaynor that she could trim the tree near her home in Rotherham but physically refused to show her how much. However, the prosecution then told of how her pruning of the tree 'went way beyond the lawful excuse' and caused 'unnecessary damage'. Adam Walker, prosecuting, said that any trimming of a tree belonging to someone else could be criminal damage and that Ms Gaynor had lawful excuse, which she had exceeded. He said: 'In July 2014, Alan Hepinstall, a council mediator, visited Ms Gaynor's home. 'Mr Hepinstall told Ms Gaynor she could cut overhanging branches back vertically and in line with the boundary but did not show the defendant what he meant. 'There remains one disputed issue of fact and that's the state of the tree before it was pruned.' Neighbour Mrs Daye then told the court that before the tree had been cut last September, it was in a good condition but after she pruned it, 'it was terrible, all chopped back and dead.' However, Helen Shepherd, mitigating, said the conifer had already been dying in the middle which had created a gap but the top of the tree was healthy. Ms Gaynor confirmed to the court that she had a 90-minute meeting with three council officials at her home last July. She said she asked Mr Hepinstall to demonstrate how to cut the branches as she 'didn't want to get in any trouble.' Her daughter, Hayley, also told the court Mr Hepinstall refused to show them because he 'did not have the time.' Ms Gaynor went voluntarily to Main Street police station in Rotherham following the complaint of criminal damage but said she had been reassured she would not be arrested. She added: 'I didn't have a solicitor with me so I feel I was coaxed in. 'I went into the interview and the police read me my rights. I told them I could not understand what 'rights' meant. 'Then the officer slammed his book shut and said: 'Right, I am now going to arrest you'. 'For all the scandal in Rotherham at the moment to think that the police and council have time, money and resources to waste on such a silly thing as a tree is disgusting.' Mr and Mrs Daye have refused to comment on the case. Michael Quinn, a senior district prosecutor with the Crown Prosecution Service, Yorkshire and Humberside, said the incident followed

Summary: Karen Gaynor appeared in court accused of causing criminal damage . Came after she pruned neighbour's tree that was hanging over her garden . Prosecution said her pruning was beyond lawful and had caused damage . But magistrates took just 15 minutes to find Ms Gaynor not guilty .


Celtic have hit out at the SFA over ticket prices for their Scottish Cup semi-final against Inverness later this month at Hampden. The game's governing body has already come under fire from Caley Thistle fans for scheduling the match for 12.15pm on Sunday, April 18 - before the first trains from Inverness arrive in Glasgow. Now the Parkhead club have made their feeling known after ticket prices were set at £23 for the North and South stands, with the East Stand being £15 for adults and £5 for concessions. Celtic have complained to the SFA over ticket prices for their Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden this month . In a statement, they said: 'Celtic Football Club is extremely disappointed with the ticket pricing for our forthcoming Scottish Cup semi-final match against Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Celtic argued strongly that the pricing for North Stand tickets should be reviewed and lowered, to be brought closer to prices for other parts of the stadium. 'As in previous years, due to Celtic supporters being in the vast majority, a huge number of our supporters will be required to pay a ticket price which we believe is too high. 'Clearly, we feel that SFA and other Clubs involved should have taken a common sense approach to this matter in the interests of fairness for our supporters and to ensure attendances at the matches are as high as possible.' The SFA responded: 'The Scottish FA notes Celtic's statement on ticket pricing for the forthcoming William Hill Scottish Cup semi-finals and can clarify the following: All four participating clubs were consulted on ticket pricing for the semi-finals; the semi-final ticket prices have been unchanged for the past four years; the Scottish Cup semi-final gate, broadcast and advertising revenues for both matches are aggregated and distributed evenly to the competing teams, minus a 10-per-cent levy.'

Adult ticket prices are £23 for the North and South stands, while the East Stand will be charged at £15 .


Walter Smith is reluctant to predict a permanent end to hostilities. Two years since he stepped down as chairman of Rangers, the crackle of gunfire still reverberates in his ears. A declaration of peace in our time is premature. Dave King, the chairman-elect, has still to obtain the SFA clearance he needs for a seat in the boardroom. Details of how the club proposes to stabilise the finances have yet to come. And the Championship promotion play-offs threaten more landmines than the Somme. Yet before participating in the annual charity golf day of the John Hartson Foundation, the Rangers icon expressed hope that the worst is over. That Rangers can put down the circus tent and become a football club once more. (Left to right): Singer Steve McCrorie joins John Hartson and Walter Smith at a charity golf match . Former Rangers chairman and manager Smith hopes that the club can move on from its off-field dramas . 'I think it's a good thing for the club that it has settled down now and the EGM is out of the way and the people can get involved with running the football club,' said Smith. 'In the last three weeks there has been a lack of headlines and that's the first step forward for Rangers. 'The whole club faces a big, big period in its history. 'They have to get back to resembling Rangers Football Club. No club wins all the time and Rangers have had down periods before, even if this one is different. 'Everyone has to adjust to it. People on the outside, fans, everyone. 'There was a lack of trust before. It was simple. Now there isn't. 'They trust the people are there for Rangers — and that's a big start after three or four years of upset.' Smith exposed himself to the crossfire when he returned — against his instincts — as chairman. It is a decision he regrets and, despite the return to the club of familiar faces such as King and Paul Murray, he is 67 now and has no need to embroil himself in the grief or stress of it all a minute longer. Asked if he would offer help or assistance to the new regime, Smith said: 'I think they are unlikely to do that. I made my part quite clear — I don't think they will ask. There is a board there in place and they will make the decisions. 'I made mine when I left and I won't go back. 'They are not liable to ask me what course of action they will take. 'A lot of the decisions right now are financial and that's never been my department.' Rangers' attacking midfielder Haris Vuckic, on loan from Newcastle United, scores agianst Dumbarton .

Labour would introduce a new legal right to ‘granny leave’ to allow working grandparents to take time off to help care for their grandchildren. The party’s deputy leader Harriet Harman, in an interview with the Daily Mail, said grandparents would be allowed to take up to four unpaid weeks off per year in order to help with childcare. She said the policy, to be unveiled in Labour’s women’s manifesto, to be launched today, would require a change in the law and would help millions of working families. Scroll down for video . Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman (pictured) said grandparents would be allowed to take up to four unpaid weeks off per year in order to help with childcare . More than half of mothers rely on grandparents for childcare when they first go back to work after maternity leave, and two-thirds of grandparents with grandchildren aged under 16 provide some childcare. Research suggests 1.9 million grandparents have given up a job, reduced their hours, or taken time off work to look after their grandchildren. But the proposed extension of workplace rights to millions more staff is likely to meet with a backlash from some business leaders, who will have to bear the costs of absences. They are already having to implement a new system of shared parental leave, which allows mothers and fathers to swap their time off after a new child. Critics will argue businesses cannot be expected to cope with more rights for employees as the economy recovers from the recession. Miss Harman insisted many businesses would welcome ‘granny leave’, since it would be likely to keep more older women in the workplace – and also enable their children have a better work-life balance. She said she envisaged many grandparents using the new legal right to take time off over school summer holidays, when parents otherwise have to pay for expensive childcare. ‘In many families, grandparents play an integral part of caring for their grandchildren and for many people that’s a financial necessity,’ she said. ‘But many people are working longer and today’s generation of grannies are working until they’re 67. They don’t want to have to choose between carrying on with their job and this role they regard as so important in their lives, which is their role with their grandchildren. ‘More and more daughters and daughters-in-law are in work, childcare is more expensive and grandmothers are now working. ‘Instead of having to choose between retiring early and giving up work, or not being part of the daily care for their grandchildren, we’re saying let’s look at the leave arrangements to recognise what the pattern of family life. ‘This is the next frontier. It’s the first time there has been a policy which recognises this role of grandparents.’ Miss Harman says a Labour government would legislate to allow grandparents as well as parents, or those with legal responsibility, to access the leave . Currently, parents can claim 18 weeks unpaid parental leave - of up to four weeks in any given year - per child up to their

A chartered surveyor who assaulted his 92-year-old mother at her house has been spared jail. He was sentenced by Judge Noel Lucas (above) at Guildford Crown Court . A chartered surveyor who assaulted his 92-year-old mother at her house while her live-in carer was out has been spared jail. Timothy Norris-Jones, who had previously attacked his mother on two occasions, left her with bruises on her face and a cut on her right wrist that needed stitches, a court heard. The 59-year-old told police the injuries were caused when she fell and said he had accidentally 'caught her face' when he went to catch her in November last year. He was arrested after the victim's carer returned home and called the police. His mother later told detectives: 'He just blew up. 'He was pushing my face and holding my wrists. I can remember I said: "Stop this Tim, don't do it".' Norris-Jones was handed a restraining order banning him from spending any time alone with his mother for the rest of her life and from visiting her house in Guildford, Surrey. A forensic psychologist told the court that emotionally damaged Norris-Jones looked to his mother for support and 'lost his rag' when she could not provide it. Judge Noel Lucas, sentencing, branded the attack 'horrific' and added: 'It is pretty unforgivable to strike an elderly lady.' He said: 'You gave your mother a systematic beating. 'If I had taken the view that your actions were anything other than those of an ill and weak man, I would now be sending you to prison for a substantial amount of time.'

A psychologist has surrendered his registration after a woman suffering from depression claimed he told her she had 'nice t**s' and asked her to massage him during an appointment. Throughout a consultation in the woman's house on October 25, 2012, Sydney psychologist Darryl Dewar hugged his client, patted her head, directed her to sing and used offensive language. The woman, who was having suicidal thoughts at the time, also claimed he called her 'a horny little thing' and asked her if her mother was a 'f---ing bitch' with 'lots of kids, multiple fathers'. A Sydney psychologist has surrendered his registration after a woman claimed he told her she had 'nice t**s' during a consultation (stock image) The Civil and Administrative tribunal reprimanded Mr Dewar last week and have banned him from re-registering as a psychologist unless he takes part in counselling or further education. The Sydney doctor initially denied any of the events took place during his consultation, telling investigators that he had 'brain confusion', however he admitted that he hugged the woman as he liked helping people. He also said he asked the woman for a massage as he had hurt his neck while reversing on the way to her house. Mr Dewar immediately surrendered his registration after the allegations were made, but after a tribunal found him guilty, they said he would have only been suspended for three months. The woman said Mr Dewar lay down at her feet, told her to sing for him, asked her for a massage and swore at her when she questioned his actions (stock image) The woman said Mr Dewar stroked her hair, pushed her head into his shoulder and invited her on a trip with him. He also lay down at her feet, told her to sing for him and swore at her when she questioned his actions. Although there were discrepancies between Mr Dewar and the woman's account of events, a tribunal found that the woman's evidence was more credible.

Lesley Conman's daughter Abbie, 12, was sent sexualised messages by an online pervert on Facebook . Two mothers have slammed police for failing to act after their daughters were targeted by an online predator. Both Lesley Conman and Kerry Green's young daughters were sent sexualised messages by an online pervert on Facebook - but police refused to investigate as no offence had been committed. Ms Conman's daughter Abbie, 12, was sent a message by the man after accepting a friend request from someone pretending to be a 17-year-old boy. After the horrified mother saw the provocative messages, she challenged the man herself, pretending to be Abbie. Ms Conman, 34, from Hull, said: 'There were four or five messages that he sent, before he actually blocked me. I think I scared him. 'You can only find my daughter on Facebook if you have a mutual friend and this guy was friends with 100 of her school friends, so she thought he was from school.' After tackling the pervert, Lesley posted the messages on her own account to warn other parents of the dangerous predator. She said: 'I shared it because I would say 90 per cent of my daughter's school were on his profile and he was talking to her friends and his profile had about 300-400 friends and they were all under 15.' In the case of Ms Green's daughter Emily, 13, the sick man threatened to post explicit pictures on her Facebook wall - which all of her friends would have then seen - if she did not play along with his sordid messages. The pictures were not of Emily, but it is thought that he planned to post them online as if they were her. Ms Green, from North Newbald, East Yorkshire, said: 'When I first saw the messages I flipped out, but I didn't to play the role of a paedophile hunter and lead him on because I didn't want him to think that my daughter was interested in him in anyway at all.' Ms Conman challenged the man (pictured left and writing in grey) when she found the messages on Abbie's Facebook (Abbie's messages in blue) After the horrified mother saw the provocative messages, she challenged (in blue) the man (writing in grey) herself, pretending to be Abbie . Both mothers contacted Humberside Police but the force did not take any action on either occasion. Ms Conman was told that no offence had been committed so officers could not do anything about the messages. She said: 'I felt disgusted by it. If nothing is done then surely we are sending a message out to these men that this is acceptable.' Ms Green, who says the police never responded to her complaint, said: 'It was upsetting and annoying. I understand they can't follow up everyone of these case because it takes a lot of time, but if they did chase them up there would be less of them.' Both mothers admitted that they do not like their daughters being on Facebook, but they'd rather allow it than running the

Summary: Young girls were sent sexualised Facebook messages but police didn't act . Abbie Conman, 12, and Kerry Green, 13, were targeted by online predator . One of the mothers challenged the man, who was pretending to be 17 . Police said no crime was committed when the mothers reported the man .


As Zlatan Ibrahimovic famously believes the World Cup is 'nothing to watch' without him, he's unlikely to be quaking in his boots about facing Lionel Messi in the Nou Camp on Tuesday night. For most people, Barcelona's progress into the Champions League semi-final looks a formality given they beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 in the first leg in France. The only man bound to disagree is the one who modestly called his autobiography 'I am Zlatan'. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is put through his paces with Blaise Matuidi (left) and Zoumana Camara at the Nou Camp . Ibrahimovic and his PSG team-mates, including David Luiz, pictured, face Barcelona on Tuesday night . The Sweden international was suspended for the first leg after he was dismissed against Chelsea . At 33, Ibrahimovic is past caring what other people think of him. With an ego that makes Louis van Gaal look like a shrinking violet, he'll walk down the tunnel at the Nou Camp convinced in his own mind that Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez will be in awe of him. When asked to name a dream team of team-mates he'd played with, he named himself up front with Messi – ahead of Thierry Henry and Alessandro del Piero. 'Football isn't something you plan in advance. It just happens,' he says. His 30-yard propellor kick for Sweden against England is rated by Steven Gerrard as the greatest goal he's ever seen. To be fair, Ibrahimovic's CV allows him plenty of bragging rights. The Swede with Bosnian roots has played for Ajax, Juventus, Barcelona and both Milan giants. He once won eight league titles in a row. Not bad for a poor kid whose immigrant parents moved to the roughest part of Malmo. Now he's trying to make new history with PSG. He was the marquee signing when Qatari owners bought the Paris side and decided to try and turn it into Europe's greatest football club. They agreed to pay him £200,000-a-week, even though France's 75 per cent top tax rate meant their total bill would be close to £50million a year. Not that Ibrahimovic is that overly grateful. He recently called France a 's**t country' and had to apologise in a rare burst of self-awareness. Despite domestic dominance, Champions League glory has remained elusive so far. Ibrahimovic has never won the trophy as a player, and his bad luck in the competition continued when he was harshly sent off in the previous round against Chelsea and was therefore suspended for the first leg against Barca. Ibrahimovic is PSG's main attraction and will take centre stage against his old club Barcelona on Tuesday . The former Barcelona striker jumps for joy after scoirng against Bastia in the French League Cup final . Ibrahimovic, pictured celebrating with Marquinhos, will be convinced that PSG can progress against Barca . For Paris to pull off one of European football's greatest comebacks, Zlatan and Marco Verratti will have to excel. Ibrahimovic undoubtedly has the talent to produce a flash of brilliance or two to put Luis Enrique's men under pressure. His balletic

Summary: Zlatan Ibrahimovic will line up against former club Barcelona on Tuesday . PSG travel to face the Spanish giants trailing 3-1 in their European tie . The French club must score at least three times to reach the semi-finals . Ibrahimovic is back in action after missing the first leg through suspension .

Police are considering manslaughter charges after a man who was violently shaken as a baby died as a result - two decades later. Liam Dawe, 21, was born a healthy child but suffered serious and on-going health complications ever since he was assaulted as a four week old. He died at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, Devon in March last year from 'intra-abdominal sepsis' after developing cerebral palsy following the the assault. Liam Dawe died at Derriford Hospital (pictured) in Plymouth, Devon, in March last year from 'intra-abdominal sepsis' after developing cerebral palsy following the the assault . At an inquest into his death in Plymouth, coroner Ian Arrow said: 'On the balance of probability, Mr Dawe's health was compromised (by the assault) and he died earlier than expected.' A senior officer attended the hearing and said the law changed in 1996 that meant an act was presumed not to have caused a person's death if it happened more than a year before. But Det Con Insp David Elliott said as Mr Dawe's injuries were caused in 1993 before the rules came into force, fresh manslaughter charges could still be brought. The inquest heard that Liam, of Tavistock, Devon, was born an otherwise 'normal, healthy baby with no concerns' in 1993, but was shaken at just four weeks old. Police are considering manslaughter charges after Liam Dawe died two decades after being assaulted as a four week old . As a result of an injury to the brain, Mr Dawe developed severe cerebral palsy, epilepsy and visual impairment as well as learning, feeding and respiratory difficulties. He was admitted to Derriford Hospital on March 4 of last year with jaundice and later died on March 25 after his condition deteriorated following a laparotomy to treat an intra-abdominal sepsis. His GP Dr Jo Coldron said: 'There was no health concern at birth, but at four-weeks-old, Liam suffered from a non-accidental injury that led to learning difficulties, cerebral palsy muscle spasms, scoliosis, epilepsy, an unprotected airway and respiratory difficulties. 'On March 4, Liam was admitted to Derriford Hospital. He was slightly jaundiced but otherwise seemed well. 'He was later admitted to ICU, but there was no clear source for his abdominal sepsis. The 'year and a day rule' stated that an act was presumed not to have caused a person to die if more than a year and a day had elapsed before death. The ancient rule, which applied to death and suicide, was abolished under the Law Reform Act 1996 amid medical advances. However, the permission of the Attorney General is still required for any prosecution where it is claimed that the death occurred more than three years after the act, or when the offender has previously been convicted of an offence in connection with the death. 'On March 12, he was discharged by ICU onto the ward where his condition deteriorated before he died on March 25.' DCI Elliott attended the inquest to assess the assault Mr Dawe sustained as a baby to determine its significance in his death. He said: 'The question

Summary: Liam Dawe was born healthy but suffered on-going health complications . Died at 21 last year having developed cerebral palsy following the assault . Inquest in Plymouth, Devon, heard he was shaken at just four weeks old .


Richard Attenborough's possessions will be sold . They are mementoes of a brilliant career in movies, stretching from the tunnels of The Great Escape to the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park and Gandhi’s vast crowd scenes. Richard Attenborough was present – behind or in front of the camera – at some of the most magical moments in cinema history, and following his death aged 90 last year, the actor-director’s treasured possessions are going up for up sale at auction house Bonhams. Lord Attenborough’s son Michael, himself an acclaimed theatre director, said: ‘The items reflect my father’s incredible career. 'It is simply not possible to keep it all, even though we would absolutely love to. We do not have the room for it.’ Lord Attenborough made his big-screen debut in the 1942 film In Which We Serve, and was still acting more than five decades later when he appeared as eccentric boffin John Hammond in Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. He was an avid collector and the lots include a treasure trove of unseen photographs, iconic props, scripts, posters and sketches. Many of the lots relate to his time in front of the camera and include mementoes from such career-defining films as Brighton Rock, The Great Escape and 10 Rillington Place. The Great Escape: This photo of Richard Attenborough (front) and Steve McQueen is expected to sell for £700 . One of the most prized items is the cane (left) used by Hammond in Jurassic Park, which is estimated to sell for £5,000. The rare poster (right) is among the items for sale advertising Brighton Rock under the film’s original title . The actor was nearly 70 when he appeared in Jurassic Park – lured by the prospect of working with Steven Spielberg . One of the most prized items is the cane used by Hammond in Jurassic Park. The top contains a prehistoric mosquito preserved in amber, from which the DNA used to create the dinosaurs in the park was extracted. A clapperboard from the film Gandhi is up for sale . The exhibition will also remind fans that there was a time when Britain’s brightest star struggled to find work. One of the lots is an early CV written by Lord Attenborough when he was an ambitious student at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. The student carefully noted all the stage roles he had notched up while at RADA. Equally well known for his work behind the camera, Lord Attenborough directed such classics as Gandhi, Shadowlands and Cry Freedom. His personal script for the Oscar-winning masterpiece Gandhi, which includes all of his annotations, is expected to fetch in the region of £3,000. Michael Attenborough said there were some items the family couldn’t part with, even if they wanted to. ‘We are not allowed to sell his Oscars and Baftas for legal reasons, and to be honest we wouldn’t want to,’ he said. ‘They have been distributed along the family and are now being looked after by the grandchildren.’ Michael Attenborough suggested Ben Kingsley (right) for the role of Gandhi – a decision

Summary: Richard Attenborough's treasured possessions will go under the hammer . Actor-director died aged 90 last year and his items will be sold at Bonhams . His son, Richard, says it wouldn't be possible to keep all of the belongings .


A man has been jailed after fathering a child with his own daughter who he raped repeatedly from when she was aged just 10 (file image) A man has been jailed for life after fathering a child with his own daughter who he raped repeatedly from when she was just 10. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was given a life sentence after Derby Crown Court after jurors heard how he 'took his daughter's life' through sexual abuse. His depravity was exposed when he impregnated her when she was just a teenager, having 'poisoned' the girl against her mother. As she watched her abuser being led away from the dock the girl ran towards him, crying out: 'I love you and miss you.' Earlier the court heard how her father had been her primary carer for years and began raping her when he felt 'out of sorts or angry'. Despite promising to stop the abuse after each attack, the man carried on abusing her until she became pregnant. In a bid to terminate the pregnancy without raising concern he encouraged his daughter to continue kick boxing, the court heard. Eventually, when the girl refused to tell authorities who the father of the baby was they ordered a paternity test. The pair fled but were apprehended by police and the man taken into custody. Giving evidence the girl told of how she was too scared to reported her father to police and still 'loved him'. 'The abuse has set my life on the wrong course and destroyed the normal childhood and teenage years that everyone deserves,' she said in a statement. 'I feared the consequences of disclosure because I love my dad. 'I know what he did was wrong, but I grew up with my dad by my side. 'I just wanted him to get help to make him better but unfortunately that never happened and it has come to this. 'It's come to me having a baby and to the father being my dad and to him being sentenced and my life falling apart.' The man, who earlier admitted rape, had 'poisoned' the girl against her mother who did not live with them, the court heard. Applying the same sentence as is handed to murderers, Judge Stuart Rafferty QC told the man: 'You took your daughter's life.' Jailing him for a minimum term of 15 years, he said: 'It's difficult to find words that could properly describe the extent of your deprivation and the damage that that deprivation has caused, not to a stranger but to your own daughter. 'Children do not ask to be born. Children are entitled to expect the best from their parents, in terms of care and parental love, that they can possibly receive. 'You gave your daughter a warped variation of that, a variation that suited you, not her. 'And, although I know you have to serve a prison sentence for that, the sentence you imposed upon her is a far greater one.' He added the girl has been consigned 'to a life of

Summary: Man raped his daughter repeatedly over four years from when she was 10 . He had 'poisoned' youngster against her mother who did not live with them . His depravity was exposed when the girl became pregnant as a teenager . Despite the abuse she told Derby Crown Court she still loved her father . He was told to serve a minimum sentence of 15 years for horrific abuse .


Shaun Bryan - who was the intended target of the shot which paralysed little Thusha Kamaleswaran in 2011 - was jailed for another crime this week . The criminal who dodged the bullet that paralysed five-year-old Thusha Kamaleswaran in a botched gangland hit has been jailed. Shaun Bryan, 23, was the intended target of the shooting that shocked the nation in March 2011. Thusha, who had been was playing in the aisle of her uncle's shop in Stockwell, south London, was caught in the crossfire when two gangs clashed. Bryan has now been jailed for a separate crime in which he and an accomplice subjected two women to a 'ruthless attack' in their home in Croydon, south London on December 17 last year. He and 20-year-old Gino Sawyers threatened the women at knifepoint before stealing mobile phones, a laptop and cash. They were both sentenced at Croydon Crown Court after pleading guilty to aggravated burglary. Thusha was hit in the chest and the bullet passed through the seventh vertebra of her spine in 2011. Chilling CCTV footage showed the girl, then five, skipping and dancing in one of the aisles of the shop when she was shot. She went into cardiac arrest twice, and had to undergo emergency surgery in the shop and in hospital. Doctors feared that she would never be able to move her legs again - but she has since regained feeling in both legs, raising hopes that she might one day be able to walk. Thusha Kamaleswaran, pictured left in a documentary, was paralysed in 2011 when gang members shot at Bryan . CCTV showing Thusha falling to the ground in the shop where the shooting which shocked Britain took place . In Bryan's most recent crime, police officers used a mobile phone tracking app to trace him and his accomplice but lost the pair when they dropped the items they stole. The Met's dog unit was called in and an Alsatian called Jacob helped hunt down the pair. Both men were sentenced to six years and three months, with Bryan, of Stockwell, jailed and Sawyers, of no fixed abode, sent to a young offenders' institution. Investigating officer Detective Constable John Davis said: 'This burglary was of a particularly violent nature, the men subjected the two victims to a ruthless attack by threatening them with knives and violence in their own home.' Bryan was previously sentenced to two years and four months in a young offenders' institution in 2012 after pleading guilty to eight counts of supplying heroin and cocaine at the Inner London Crown Court. Bryan and his accomplice in his latest crime, Gino Sawyers (left), were stopped by police dog Jacob (right)

A university student attacked by a serial rapist confronted him in court yesterday to say he had taken away ‘every piece of joy’ in her life. Jessica Howard, 23, denounced ‘night stalker’ Clive Howard, 57, for his string of assaults on six women over 28 years. She told him that the catastrophic impact of his attack could never be put into words and has destroyed her life. Clive Howard, 57, (left) dubbed 'every woman's living nightmare', was today jailed for life and one of his victim's, Jessica Howard, 23, (right) who has bravely waived her right to anonymity . Waiving her right to anonymity, the student – who is not related to the rapist – said he had ‘humiliated’ her and ruined precious relationships with those closest to her. ‘You have made it impossible for me to enjoy moments of happiness. Your attack literally darkens every piece of joy I have,’ she told him. ‘Because of you, my body is now worthless to me. You took away all of my control, took away all meaning to my body other than an inanimate object with no worth.’ The dramatic confrontation came as Howard was jailed for a minimum of ten years and three months after admitting seven rapes, one attempted rape and three kidnappings. Described as ‘every woman’s living nightmare’, he prowled the streets of Cambridge and Norwich looking for victims. The mechanic, a father-of-six who lives with his parents in Battisford, Suffolk, picked up some in his Volvo estate and pounced on others in parks. Yesterday detectives revealed 15 other women have come forward since Howard appeared in court last year to say he also attacked them. Norwich Crown Court heard that Miss Howard was picked up by the rapist after a night out in Norwich last May. He drove her to an isolated car park and raped her. She managed to stagger away half-naked and was rescued by a taxi driver who drove her to a friend. Police discovered CCTV footage which captured images of his car after the attack and driving around Norwich city centre earlier in the evening. A CCTV image of Howard'scar as he prowled the streets of Norwich on the night he raped Jessica Howard . Howard (his car is seen far right in this CCTV) admitted seven counts of rape, three of kidnap and one of attempted rape at an earlier hearing . Separately, a DNA sample matched the unsolved case of a woman who was the victim of an attempted rape in Cambridge almost exactly one year earlier. The woman, aged in her 30s, managed to scratch Howard as she fought him off, trapping vital forensic evidence under her fingernails. It later emerged he had tried to force another woman into his car on the same night and two other women in the city three months earlier. As their investigation widened, police traced a woman who told them Howard had raped her at least six times in Suffolk, starting in 1986. Miss Howard, who is originally from Essex and is studying history of art and

Summary: Clive Howard, 57, preyed on lone women on Norfolk and Cambridge streets . He was jailed for life after final victim was able to describe his Volvo car . Jessica Howard, 23, was returning from a night out when he raped her . Since he was found guilty 15 more potential victims have come forward .

Murderer: Ronald Jebson, who was responsible for the 'Babes in the Woods' killings, when first jailed in the 1970s, died of kidney failure almost a fortnight ago . A paedophile serial killer who murdered three children and sexually abused several more has died secretly in prison, it was revealed today. Ronald Jebson, who was responsible for the 'Babes in the Woods' murders in 1970, died of kidney failure almost a fortnight ago. Jebson's final wish was for his death to be secret and victims' families only found out after journalists told them 11 days after he died. Beryl Hanlon, whose 12-year-old son Gary was killed together with his 11-year-old friend Susan Blatchford in 1970, sobbed as she heard the news. Mrs Hanlon said: 'I'm glad to hear he's gone. I just don't want him to be able to hurt anyone else's children. 'I still have nightmares. I just can't sleep at night. I wake up crying sometimes I just can't understand how some people are so evil. 'I keep imagining what Jebson did to him'. Four years after killing the two friends Jebson strangled eight-year-old Rosemary Papper, shose sister Samantha Humbles, 45, said: 'He deserves to rot in hell' Jebson, who was being held at HMP Frankland, which also holds child killer Ian Huntley, died at the University Hospital of North Durham 11 days ago. A prison source told The Sun: 'He was bitter and twisted and did not want people to have the satisfaction and relief of knowing he was dead.' In 2000 he confessed his part in the deaths of Gary Hanlon, 12, and Susan Blatchford, 11, thirty years earlier, while serving a life sentence for strangling an eight-year-old girl. The murder of the pair in 1970 became known as the Babes in the Wood case because their bodies were dumped in a copse on the fringes of Epping Forest in Essex. Bereft: Beryl Hanlon, whose 12-year-old son Gary was murdered by Jebson said: 'I'm glad to hear he's gone. I just don't want him to be able to hurt anyone else's children' Crimes: In 2000 confessed his part in the deaths of friends Gary Hanlon, 12, and Susan Blatchford, 11, who he murdered and dumped on the edge of Epping Forest . Jebson finally confessed to police because he felt he could die shortly 'and did not want to go into his grave knowing the murder of the two young friends was still unsolved. He wanted to clear his conscience,' said Richard Whittham, prosecuting. But he refused to accompany police to the area where he had sexually abused and killed his victims because he feared the ghosts of the children would haunt the area. Serial killer: Jebson, pictured, had also strangled eight year old Rosemary Papper . Jebson admitted he had been evil over the years and was a danger to children. 'If I get a few drinks and poppers, nothing would stop me,' he had said. The Ministry of Justice is said to have made attempts to contact the families of the children murdered by Mr Jebson to

James Webster, 35, was spared jail after admitting outraging public decency . A voyeur who used a hidden camera to film up women's skirts as they bent over freezers in Lidl has been spared jail. James Webster targeted female shoppers at the Lidl store in Maidenhead, Berkshire, as they hunted for bargains in the large chest freezers. The 35-year-old was caught after attracting the attention of a fellow shopper, who spotted him moving the bag he was carrying closer to his unsuspecting victim. Security guards discovered Webster had cut a hole in the bag through which he placed the lens of a camera so he could carry out his covert filming. He admitted outraging public decency at a previous hearing and was warned that he could face prison. But Webster walked free from court after magistrates sitting in Slough, Berkshire, ordered him to complete a sexual offences treatment programme, as part of a three year community order. Opening the case, Helen Gambrill said: 'On January 12 the defendant was in Lidl in Maidenhead and outraged the public decency, namely filming up the skirts of women in that store. 'That offence came to light when a member of the public saw the defendant and thought he was acting in a strange way.' The court heard the shopper spotted Webster positioning his satchel, with a lens protruding out, under the skirt of a woman. Webster, who at the time was living in shared accommodation in White Waltham, near Maidenhead, was confronted by security guards and tried to cover the lens before denying any wrong-doing. However, after seeing an appeal for witnesses to the crime in a local newspaper he turned himself in to police. Webster immediately showed remorse, telling a police officer, 'I threw the camera away in frustration on the day I did this.' He accepted that his actions had a sexual purpose but admitted he had no idea why he had carried out the crime. Francis Domingo, defending, said Webster had been struggling to deal with a break-up at the time and was incredibly ashamed at his actions.

A burlesque performer is attempting to eradicate all negativity surrounding the word 'fat' – by embracing it as an honest, body-positive description of her own physique. During a recent TED talk, Lillian Bustle, from New Jersey, revealed that she also calls herself 'short', because she is 5'3'', and 'wife', because she is married, noting that each of these words is just an honest description of what she is. And 'fat' is just another self-descriptor for her, who insists that the word doesn't have to be used as a synonym for 'ugly'. 'We as women are programmed to tell each other that we're not fat, because to many people - both men and women - fat is the worst thing that you can be,' she said during her talk, which took place earlier this month. Scroll down for video . Not-so-tiny dancer: Burlesque performer Lillian Bustle explained in her TED talk that 'fat' is just another word - and using it doesn't have to be an insult . Beauty comes in bigger packages, too: During her lecture, Lillian explained that 'fat' shouldn't mean the same thing as ugly . Unfortunately, Lillian added, her worldview isn't held by everyone, and she pointed to a statistic that shows that size discrimination in the workplace has risen 66 per cent in the past 30 years. And those negative perceptions of bigger people start young: The top 'magic wish' for girls 11 to 17, according to a study, is to be thinner. But there's hope. Lillian explained that, according to other studies, 'the more we're exposed to body diversity, the more we tolerate, accept, and yes, even prefer, different body types'. That promising fact is something that encourages the dancer to perform burlesque, which enables her to expose her audiences to a 'fat' body in a positive, glamorous way. Changing minds: Studies show that the more people are exposed to different body types, the more they like them; Lillian hopes exposing her audience to a fuller figure will change their perceptions . Lillian also quoted another performer named Beelzebabe, who has spoken out in the past about the fact that the body diversity of burlesque performers 'challenges us to rethink the narrow confines that society has given us for what's desirable'. It certainly challenged Lillian, who weighs in at 240lbs. She admits she was in awe at the first burlesque show she ever saw, immediately resolving to try it herself. She began performing in 2012, and says the experience has been both empowering and incredibly body-positive. While the first time she performed she was nervous about people seeing her arms jiggle, once she did it, she felt like she could 'walk through fire'. Now, whenever she's feeling insecure, she can think back to that first performance; Lillian recommends other people find a similar 'courage reference' - a moment you felt brave that you can think back to at times when you feel more insecure and afraid. Self-esteem boost: Lillian said she was nervous before her first performance because of how her arms looked, but now she feels

Summary: At 240lbs, Lillian Bustle says she's not being negative when she calls herself 'fat' - she is just being factual . She says she likes performing burlesque because it helps open people up to liking different body types . The dancer says she's thrilled at the positive reception her TED talk has received, adding that she believes it means 'body-positivity' is working .


We have had cereal cafes, a porridge pop-up and a toastie restaurant so it should come as no surprise that London is about to get yet another single-item menu eaterie. The latest to open in the capital this week is the Oshun Café, which will serve £6 bowls of Brazilian superfood acai berries. The sparse menu offers four variations of berry bowls, served with different toppings and fruit accompaniments. The Native Acai Berry Bowl is topped with bananas, granola, raisin and honey .

Liane Holey, founder of the cafe said: ‘Brazil’s streets are filled with vendors blending acaí pulp with fresh bananas and then topped with honey and granola to create an innocuously addictive berry bowl. ‘Oshun Cafe wants the UK to celebrate this way of eating acaí, not as powder, dried supplements or in smoothies and pasteurised juices which have significantly smaller amounts of Açaí and preserved nutrients.” The acaí berry is a rich purple fruit indigenous to the Amazon rainforest. For hundreds of years, the small dark berries have been integral to the diet of native Amazonian people. The Acai Berry Bowl Cafe will serve four types of berry bowls. The cafe is open from seven days a week . Oshun Maya with cinnamon, raw cacao, orange and avocado with nested popcorn .

Oshun Native - acaí pulp, banana and honey. Oshun Tang: courgette, lime, sour cherries and acai pulp . Oshun Kong: banana, lemongrass, ginger, coriander and honey. Oshun Maya: acai berries, raw cacao, cinnamon, orange and avocado . Speaking about the potent powder, food blogger and nutritionist Deliciously Ella said: 'Acai is unbelievably rich in antioxidants, with one of the highest levels ever tested (eight times that of blueberries and 10 to 30 times that of red wine,) as well as vitamin E and omega-3s, all of which work to stop free radical damage and keep your body. 'It’s also amazing for keeping your skin glowing and slowing down the signs of ageing.' The large seed from each berry is removed and the remaining Açaí pulp (along with its nutrients) is frozen within 24 hours of being harvested, due to the fresh berry’s short lifespan. In Brazil, acai berry bowls are eaten around the clock. Melt Room, which only serves toasties - or 'melts' as they are

Barcelona took a major step towards qualification for the last four of the Champions League after they dismantled Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night. Sportsmail's ADAM CRAFTON takes a look at five things we learned from Barcelona's emphatic victory. Super Suarez . It feels rather strange now but there was a time last summer when we were all wondering whether Luis Suarez - with his penchant for a human-based snack during football matches - was worth all that money for Barcelona. There can be no question anymore. It is now 17 goals for the season and Barcelona's front three, spearheaded by Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar is the most in-form in world football. They are a frightening prospect and Suarez, after three goals in his first 12 games for Barcelona, has hit the high notes at the right time. He has scored 10 in his last 11 games - including two crucial goals away at Manchester City - and his understanding with his strike partners has elevated this Barcelona side to a new level. Luis Suarez scores his second of the night to give Barcelona a 3-0 lead in their tie at Paris Saint-Germain . The former Liverpool forward is mobbed by his Barcelona team-mates after doubling his tally for the evening . PSG yearn for Zlatan's quality . Prior to this game, PSG were unbeaten so far this season when playing without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, winning 11 and drawing 5 of the 16 games. It had developed a view - nourished by that inspiring performance when Ibrahbimovic was sent off at Chelsea - that PSG may be a stronger collective unit without the Swede. Yet on the grandest occasions, you still require that moment of world-class quality and Laurent Blanc really needed Edinson Cavani to stand tall here. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, pictured in action on Saturday, missed the game against Barcelona through suspension . Edinson Cavani failed to deliver the goods for PSG and looked out-of-sorts against Barcelona on Wednesday . Once more, though, the Uruguayan failed to deliver on the biggest stage. PSG fans still wince at the memory of his miss against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last season and so often, he leaves you wanting more in these pivotal games. He was brilliantly denied by a Javier Mascherano challenge in the first half but you sensed he lacked the conviction to really make the most of the opportunity. He does some wonderful things, moving with pace and intelligence but when faced with a guilt-edged opening, he too often loses that defining ability to remain cool and detached when faced by a goalkeeper and the roar of the crowd. When bearing down on Mascherano in the first half, he was like a pianist whose timing has deserted him, hesitating and pontificating. It is now only four goals in 15 games and you can perhaps understand why PSG may be tempted to cash in on him. Neymar back in form . After a run of three goals in 10 games, the Brazilian had begun to fade into the shadows a little, particularly when placed

Summary: Luis Suarez scored a brace while Neymar also netted in 3-1 win at PSG . Suarez has 17 goals for the season after slow start to life at the Nou Camp . Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar is the best front three in world football . PSG missed Zlatan Ibrahimovic's world-class qualities in their defeat .


A pensioner has broke down in tears in court as he was spared jailed after admitting he stabbed his sick wife to death after she begged him to 'bring her suffering to an end'. Anthony Mann, 78, sat quietly sobbing in the dock as he listened to the details of the mercy killing of his wife Janet at their home in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. He was given a two year suspended sentence after he appeared at Leamington Justice Centre today. Anthony Mann was spared jail for killing his wife Janet after she asked him to end his life . As his trial opened, the prosecution outlined how Mann plunged a kitchen knife into his wife's chest in a moment of impulse. The court was told how Mann was a devoted father and husband, who had been married to Janet for a number of years after they first met as teenagers. However, since 2008, Mrs Mann's health had deteriorated and by the middle of 2014, she was suffering from dementia, was unable to go to the toilet alone and was in chronic pain. Peter Grieve-Smith, prosecuting, said: 'The strain on Mr Mann was enormous and on June 20 at 2.20am he made a 999 call and said he had killed his wife. 'He said he had stabbed her and that she had asked him to do it. 'When the police arrived they found Janet Mann lying on her bed on her back with a knife sticking out of her abdomen. 'She had died through a stab wound to her heart.' A police van outside the home of Anthony and Janet Mann in Nuneaton after Mr Mann stabbed his sick wife to death after she begged him to bring her suffering to an end . In a statement to police Mann said his wife had been in a distressed state and had told him she had had enough. He said: 'She was screaming and said she did not want live like this. I went to the kitchen and got a knife and stabbed her. I kissed her and said I love you.' The couple's two daughters both said in statements that their dad was a loving, kind man and defending QC Jonas Hankin said: 'This is a tragic case of a mercy killing.' The prosecution then asked for the original charge of murder to be replaced by one of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility, to which Mann pleaded guilty. The judge, Mr Justice Haddon-Cave said: 'This is an exceptionally sad and tragic case. Janet Mann had suffered ill health for a number of years and her husband was her devoted and constant carer. 'She did not want to suffer any more and, under terrific strain, her husband acted in a moment of impulse.' Mann pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility at Leamington Justice Centre, pictured . The judge said he accepted the conclusions of two psychiatrists that, on the night of the killing, the defendant had been suffering a mental disorder, brought on by the 'enormous pressure' he

Summary: Anthony Mann admitted killing his wife Janet who suffered from dementia . Court heard how she begged for him to bring her suffering to an end . He stabbed her in the chest after she became distressed at their home . After stabbing her, Mann, 78, kissed his wife and told her: 'I love you' Mann pleaded guilty to amended charge of manslaughter with diminished responsibility .


A terminally ill fundraiser who claimed to have close celebrity contacts to gain the trust of a charity for terminally ill children stole a laptop, sat nav and phone from the organisation. Simon Mitchell, 44, stole the expensive equipment from Donna's Dream House, a charity for terminally ill children based in Blackpool, Lancashire. Following a three year investigation the volunteer worker admitted stealing a laptop and TomTom satnav from the charity - despite the fact he was meant to be helping the charity by raising its profile following a devastating arson attack in 2011. Terminally ill fundraiser Simon Mitchell, 44, (pictured left with Richard Hammond and right with Katie Price) stole from Donna's Dream House, a charity for terminally ill children based in Blackpool, Lancashire . The charity also say Mitchell repeatedly let them down and left them picking up the pieces when meetings with his supposed star-studded contacts failed to materialise. Mitchell had been given the laptop and a phone to use by the Dream House when he volunteered for them but did not return them after he left the charity. He pleaded guilty to two counts of theft at Preston Crown Court where he was due to stand trial after a three-year criminal investigation. Len Curtis, chairman of the charity which provides holidays for sick and needy children, said following the hearing: 'He came to us immediately after the fire, when we were very vulnerable and needed help. 'We were taking people on face value without running our usual CRB checks and we allowed him to get involved because he claimed to know all of these famous people. 'He was a volunteer and his role was meant to be fundraising and raising the charity's profile through all these great contacts he claimed to have. 'But it soon became apparent something wasn't right. Mitchell on his wedding day with wife Kerrie - he has now pleaded guilty to two counts of theft . 'It is soul destroying when the trust you place in someone is betrayed.' The theft from Donna's Dream House came just months after Mitchell made headlines claiming to be carrying out a 'bucket list' of good deeds to complete after revealing his own lung cancer diagnosis and desire to raise cash for poorly children. In 2012 Mitchell, with the help of different charities, arranged for two sick youngsters to meet celebrities such as the cast of Top Gear and Katie Price, saying his aim was to raise £100,000 in the two years he was told he had left. But Mr Curtis said Donna's Dream House was left red-faced and out of pocket after a 'Top Gear Day' Mitchell was supposed to organise never happened despite the trust auctioning it as a prize. The charity ended up having to reimburse the disappointed winner. The theft came just months after Mitchell made headlines claiming to be carrying out a 'bucket list' of good deeds (he is pictured with The Stig) 'He even left the people waiting at the train station for people who didn't turn up,' the chairman said, adding

Mitchell has pleaded guilty to two counts of theft following investigation .

A tiny garden gnome that appeared on the cover of the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's album and was signed by all four band member has sold for £29,000. The cardboard gnome featured alongside a host of celebrities and historic figures including actress Diana Dors, singer Bob Dylan and actor Marlon Brando on the psychedelic cover of the ground-breaking 1967 album. In total more than 60 celebrities appear on the famous cover including the Fab Four themselves - but because it would have been impossible to get all of them in a room together, waxworks and cardboard cutouts were used instead. The cardboard gnome featured alongside a host of celebrities and historic figures including actress Diana Dors, singer Bob Dylan and actor Marlon Brando on the psychedelic cover of the ground-breaking 1967 album . The knee-high little gnome, circled, appeared next to George Harrison's left leg on the famous album cover . Other well-known figures include writer Edgar Allen Poe, dancer Fred Astaire, comedians Laurel and Hardy and boxer Sonny Liston, poet Dylan Thomas and philosopher Karl Marx. The album cover was the brainchild of artists Peter Blake and Jann Haworth and photographer Michael Cooper, who constructed and shot it it on March 30, 1967. John Lennon had wanted models of Jesus and Adolf Hitler to be included but his requests were denied. The album cover ended up being so extravagant that the final cost of producing the artwork was £3,000 - a whopping £50,000 in today's money. Following the shoot Mr Cooper's photography assistant was given the 20-inch tall cardboard gnome as a souvenir by The Beatles, who each signed it. The front and back of the gnome were then mounted alongside an unopened copy of the Sgt Pepper's vinyl LP. The cardboard gnome actually came in two parts and was pinned together for the cover. Gifted to a photography assistant it was signed by all for members of the band following the shoot . It emerged for sale almost 50 years after the album was released after it was listed for auction by a private collector.

They show a range of personalities from different walks of life including actors, sportsmen and scientists. The album also reflects the personal and artistic

Dozens more company bosses have signed a letter backing Tory economic plans – including a prominent former Labour supporter. By last night, a total of 150 business leaders have signed the letter warning against a ‘change in course’. Among the new signatories is Simon Woodroffe, the founder of Yo! Sushi and a former Labour backer. Dozens more company bosses have signed a letter backing Tory economic plans – including prominent former Labour supporter Simon Woodroffe, the founder of Yo! Sushi . Others also include executives from two FTSE-100 firms and 10 from the FTSE-250 index. Adding their names were Philip Aiken, the chairman of construction giant Balfour Beatty, Dr Tom Enders, boss of Airbus, and Simon Litherland, head of drinks group Britvic. All have signed in a personal capacity. The announcement of the new names will heap pressure on Labour, which has struggled to come forward with notable numbers of business supporters. Once a former prominent Labour supporter, Mr Woodroffe appears to have turned his back on the party despite appearing in a 2004 political broadcast. Earlier this year, he warned that Labour’s approach to business ‘scares’ him. He told BBC Newsnight: ‘What I worry about with Ed Miliband is that he is appealing to the popular by saying, “look at all these fat cats” making lots of money it should be for the workers.’ ‘Actually, I think the fat cats generally, sometimes it annoys me, but they pay their taxes, you know.’ By last night, a total of 150 business leaders have signed the letter warning against a ‘change in course’ The letter backs the lowering of corporation tax by David Cameron and George Osborne as it shows the UK is 'open for business' The letter states that the signatories believe the Conservative-led government ‘has been good for business and pursued policies which have supported investment and job creation’. They praise the cuts in corporation tax to 20 per cent, which they say is a ‘key part’ of the Tory economic plan. They add: ‘We believe a change in course will threaten jobs and deter investment. This would send a negative message about Britain and put the recovery at risk.’ When the letter was first published in a newspaper last week it sent shockwaves through the election campaign. Labour attempted to respond by positioning itself as the party of workers. It announced plans to ban 90 per cent of zero hours contracts and make it easier for staff to sue their bosses for wrongful dismissal. A poll of FTSE-100 chairman at the weekend showed seven out of ten think Mr Miliband would be a ‘catastrophe’ for Britain. The anonymous poll, published by the Sunday Times, showed widespread concern by businesses about Labour’s economic plans.

Summary: Yo! Sushi founder Simon Woodroffe is among new signatories of letter . He is a former Labour backer and appeared in a 2004 political broadcast . Total of 150 business leaders have signed the letter praising the Tories . The announcement will heap more pressure on Labour and Ed Miliband .


The mother of a three-year-old boy who was killed when a runaway two-tonne trailer mounted the pavement and crushed him to death is being targeted by online trolls who blame her for the incident. Donna Hussey, 32, has also been branded a 'bad mum' by trolls on Facebook over the death of her son Freddie - who was killed when a huge portable cabin came loose from a passing Land Rover. Mrs Hussey, who had just dropped her eight-year-old son Archie to school, was helpless as the runaway trailer mounted the pavement and crushed young Freddie against a wall in Bedminster, Bristol. Donna Hussey, 32 (right), has been targeted on Facebook and branded a 'bad mum' by trolls who blame her for the death of her son Freddie (left) - who was killed when a runaway trailer crushed him against a wall . A passing lorry driver tried to resuscitate Freddie and paramedics arrived within minutes, but he died shortly afterwards at Bristol Children's Hospital. Police investigators found the trailer had not been correctly attached to the Land Rover but driver Tony Davies avoided prison after admitting causing death by careless driving. His sentence infuriated Mrs Hussey and Freddie's father Scott, 37, who blasted his punishment of a six-month driving ban and 200 hours of community service as a 'joke'. Mrs Hussey said her torment has now been worsened further by hateful Facebook trolls who have bombarded her with messages calling her a 'bad mum' since the tragedy in January last year. The insurance worker said: 'Something that has been difficult was the reports that Freddie was behind me (when it happened) and that was not true. 'I've had lots of hurtful comments and people Facebooking me, sending abusive messages that I was a bad mum. 'I see little kids a few steps in front or behind their parents every day. 'I have to live with what happened. 'I loved that little boy and I love Archie so much. Those kids were my world and I just never would have put them in harm's way. 'I just want people, before they start making nasty comments, to really think about how they are with their children and how they feel it is right to judge. 'It has been very hurtful and we have already gone through hell.' Freddie (left) died after being hit by a trailer which cameoff a Land Rover driven by Tony Davies (pictured outside court last week, right). Davies, 38, was spared jail after admitting causing death by careless driving . A trailer used as a workmen's cabin came off Davies' Land Rover and crushed Freddie to death against a wall . This is the trailer coupling which failed, allowing the trailer cabin to detach from the Land Rover in Bristol . Bristol Crown Court heard last week how the tow hitch between the Land Rover and the trailer was not secure because the position of its handbrake prevented it from being locked down. Prosecutor Anna Vigars said Freddie had been walking behind his mother, playing in the puddles and
