Back in January 2012 Chelsea took three promising young boys, all brothers, from their home in Graham Gardens, Luton, after watching them beat the mighty Bayern Munich in a youth tournament. There was a bit of a fuss made of the move at the time, with brothers Jay, plus twins Cole and Rio, compared with the trio of Wallace siblings who created history when they played together in a first-team game for Southampton against Sheffield Wednesday on October 22, 1988. On Wednesday, Jay Dasilva, the eldest of the three children, who left Luton Town’s academy to make the 100-mile round trip, three or fours times a week, in their mum Alison’s Rover to Chelsea’s Cobham training base, turns 17. He is earmarked first team potential. Chelsea's kids have been buoyed by Jose Mourinho's insistence on promoting young players at the club . Dominic Solanke (right) celebrates scoring in the FA Youth Cup final first leg victory over Manchester City . In an environment where the competition is fierce and the temptation is to spend big in the transfer market, Jose Mourinho made the surprise announcement that he will promote one of Chelsea’s youngsters next season. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, a powerful, muscular presence in Chelsea’s development teams, will be with the first-team squad at the start of pre-season. Those with an intimate knowledge of Jay Dasilva’s progress at Chelsea over the past three seasons believe this first-year scholar is not far behind. A week ago Dasilva returned to the national conscience when Ian Wright claimed he was ‘better than any other Premier League left back’ after Chelsea became UEFA youth champions in Switzerland. Among a group of players that includes Leighton Baines, Kieran Gibbs and Luke Shaw, at England level alone, plus Chelsea’s first-choice left back Cesar Azpilicueta, it was certainly an audacious claim by the former Arsenal striker. John Terry is the last player to come through Chelsea's youth ranks and become a first-team regular . Terry broke into the Chelsea team in 1999, but the club has been unable to unearth a stellar talent since . He moved through the junior teams at pace, settling at left back after spells as a winger, and is one of the most level-headed young players at the club. At his old school in Luton, he was head boy. When he travelled to Paphos, Cyprus, for a European Championship qualifier with England last October, he revealed that one of his motivations was to stay ahead of his kid brothers in the family pecking order. ‘They keep me on my toes and they’re after me, so I need to keep working hard to stay ahead of them,’ he admitted. ‘It’s great to have all three of us at Chelsea. We have played together since we were young, so hopefully that will happen at senior level one day.’ They are a remarkable football family, with dad Trevor well known in the parks game in Luton. His eldest son Ryan was a professional with Luton. Jay Dasilva is a promising young player on the Blues' books, along with two

Summary: Jay Dasilva building a strong reputation in Chelsea's youth system . The young defender has been earmarked as a future first-team player . Chelsea have not produced a homegrown regular since John Terry . But Jose Mourinho insists he will give youth players a chance . Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been guaranteed a place in the squad .


Siem de Jong is on track to play a part in Newcastle's Barclays Premier League clash with Swansea after taking another step towards ending his eight-month injury nightmare. The 26-year-old Holland international midfielder played 72 minutes for the club's Under-21s and set up striker Adam Armstrong for the decisive goal in a 2-1 victory at Aston Villa on Monday evening. It was his second appearance for Peter Beardsley's side since recovering from surgery to repair a collapsed lung and while he admits he is still short of match fitness, he is in contention for a seat on the bench at St James' Park on Saturday if head coach John Carver requires him. Siem de Jong, pictured in Newcastle training last week, played 72 minutes for the U21s on Tuesday . De Jong has only made one league start this season but hopes to be involved in first-team again soon . De Jong told nufcTV: 'The plan always was to be part of that game, to be on the bench. I played 72, 73 minutes and hopefully I can be part of the team next week. 'We will see what happens. I don't think I could play 90 minutes yet, especially not on a level higher, so we will have to build it up and see how it goes.' De Jong, a £6million summer signing from Ajax, has made only three senior appearances and just a single league start for the club after first suffering a serious thigh injury and then being laid low by a recurrence of a lung problem. His battle for fitness has proved both gruelling and frustrating, and he is already looking forward to the start of the new campaign and launching his Magpies career in earnest. He said: 'It's getting a little bit better. I still feel that it just improves every day, but I still need to keep on improving. I feel it in the power training, but also on the field and in the game. 'I just need to get a few more games in, and I think that will hopefully be a couple of games his season, otherwise start again good next season from pre-season on.' The Dutchman was a £6m summer signing from Ajax but has struggled with injuries . De Jong was signed to help provide a link between midfield and attack and the kind of invention he provides has been sadly lacking for much of the campaign, particularly in recent weeks as a run of six successive league defeats has left Newcastle too close for comfort to the relegation zone. Victory - something they have not tasted since February 28 - over the Swans on Saturday would go a long way towards erasing any fears of being sucked into trouble, although with many fans in open rebellion over owner Mike Ashley's stewardship, it may do little to ease the tension on Tyneside.

Summary: Siem de Jong set up Adam Armstrong for winner in 2-1 Aston Villa win . It was his second game for U21s since surgery to repair collapsed lung . The £6m summer signing has only made one league start for Newcastle .

Beach-goers were faced with a different kind of sea creature when they entered the water at Victoria's picturesque Rye Beach last week - a swimming echidna! The prickly Australian mammal was filmed paddling out to sea in the turquoise waters off the Mornington Peninsula, 83 km south of Melbourne. Where it was heading, is anyone's guess. Scroll down for video . This echidna was spotted paddling out to sea off Rye Beach, a popular surfing and fishing spot on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula . The video of the swimming echidna, which looks to be happily using its ant-eating snout as a snorkel, was posted online by YouTube user Emma B. According to Australia Zoo, echidnas, like many native Australian animals, are actually 'proficient' swimmers. They like the water so much, that the Zoo built a special swimming pool for its echidna residents to cool off on hot summer days. Echidnas, like many native Australian animals, are actually 'proficient' swimmers - though they usually prefer fresh water to the open ocean . The echidna - or spiny ant-eater - is found all over Australia, in coastal forests, alpine meadows and desert habitats. They live on a diet of ants, termites, grubs and worms but biologists think the mammals evolved from aquatic ancestors like the platypus. Gary Sutton, a park ranger from Narawntapu National Park in Tasmania, said he has also seen wallabies and wombats surfing. He previously told the ABC he thought the animals went in the water to get rid of parasites, like lice and ticks. With its webbed-feet and snout in the air as a snorkle, the little echidna paddled out to sea .

The pound has slipped to a five-year low against the dollar amid growing uncertainty about the outcome of the general election. But the pound fell to near 1.46 against the US dollar, its lowest level since June 2010 - just after the last election when no party secured a majority. Different polls have variously put the Tories and Labour narrowly ahead, with David Cameron and Ed Miliband both facing the prospect of having to rely on smaller parties to form a government. The pound fell to near 1.46 against the US dollar, its lowest level since June 2010 - just after the last election when no party secured a majority . Experts have warned of the impact on the economy of a badly hung parliament, with neither major party able to form a stable government. There are fears it could sent pound plummeting by another 10 per cent. Today’s fall in the value of the pound was also impacted by figures showing industrial production grew by just 0.1 per cent in February. Construction shrank by 0.9 per cent following a 2.5 per cent contraction in January. It was suggested that the figures pointed to overall growth slowing to 0.4 per cent for the first quarter, down from 0.6 per cent in the last three months of 2014. That would be the weakest pace of growth since the end of 2013. Labour have made gains in a series of opinion polls, enjoying leads in three and cutting the Conservative lead in another. The latest survey also contains good news for the Liberal Democrats who gain three points to draw level with Ukip for the first time in more than 18 months. Based on the 2010 election result, David Cameron needs to win another 23 more seats to secure a majority in the Commons, while Ed Miliband needs at least 70. Nick Clegg is defending 56 seats, but is braced for heavy losses . ComRes research for ITV and the Daily Mail suggested the race was still too tight to call with the Tories on 34 per cent and Labour on 33 per cent, but that compared with a four-point deficit for Ed Miliband's Opposition at the start of the campaign. Other polls gave Labour leads of between three and six points and one suggested that for the first time voters thought Ed Miliband was doing a better job than David Cameron. The Opposition gained two points on last week in the Survation poll for the Mirror, while the Conservatives dipped one, to move ahead by 35 per cent to 31 per cent. The Labour leader - despite still trailing his Tory rival as the best to be prime minister by 37 per cent to 25 per cent - will be delighted at their latest personal approval ratings after lagging consistently behind throughout most of his leadership. A hard-hitting report by BlackRock, the largest fund manager in the world, said last week that ‘a soothing outcome for the markets is hard to imagine’ given Labour’s anti-business policies and Tory plans to hold a referendum

Summary: Pound near 1.46 against the US dollar, its lowest level since June 2010 . Polls suggest neither Tories or Labour will manage to win a majority . Fears the pound could fall another 10% if a badly hung parliament .


One Minnesota reporter made news herself on Wednesday when her boyfriend popped the question to her while she was live on-air. Following a segment on wedding costs that touched on the price of engagement rings, WCCO This Morning reporter Ashley Roberts' boyfriend, Justin McCray, surprised her with an engagement ring of her own. And it was a good news day for everyone involved — Ashley said yes. Scroll down for video. She said yes! Reporter Ashley Roberts was surprised on air during Minnesota's This Morning show by a proposal from her boyfriend Justin McCray (pictured together) Romantic plan: Ashley's co-workers helped arrange for her boyfriend to come out after an on-air discussion about engagement rings . To her surprise, it seems Ashley's This Morning co-workers were in on the plan all along; while wrapping up the wedding segment, anchor Jason DeRush noted that men spend an average of $5,855 on the engagement ring. 'Guys are under a lot of pressure to treat the woman to a nice big rock,' Ashley, who is originally from Florida, responded. The anchors then introduced a 'fashion expert' to talk more about rings — but the expert turned out to be none other than Ashley's boyfriend Justin. Surprise appearance: Ashley was nearly speechless upon seeing her boyfriend, repeating 'oh my god, oh my god' while Justin knelt down in front of her . 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you,' Justin told her, before getting down on one knee and presenting her with a ring. 'Now Jason,' he added, turning to the show's anchor, 'you were talking about [the cost of] rings, and I promise you — a brother pretty broke.' Luckily, Ashley seemed far from disappointed with her rock; the reporter repeated 'Oh my god, oh my god' before flashing her new ring for her co-workers, exclaiming: 'I'm engaged!' Happy ending: She can be seen in the video excitedly telling her co-workers 'I'm engaged!' Before the camera cut away, Ashley realized the whole wedding piece was for her benefit, asking: 'So wait, is this why we're doing the wedding segment?' Not that she minded doing the work. 'Best surprise of my life,' she wrote on Twitter later that day. 'I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. '

A 47 stone (660lb) woman who was so immobile she needed her husband's help to go to the toilet has revealed how he prevented her from losing weight. Despite being morbidly obese, Bettie Jo, from Houston, Texas, lived off a diet of fried chicken and barbecue sauce, and was unable to care for herself, meaning Josh had to do everything for her. But Josh has admitted he didn't support the 24-year-old with her bid to lose weight because he feared if she became slimmer, she wouldn't need him anymore, in My 600lb Life, which airs tonight on TLC. Scroll down for video . At 47 stone (660lb) Bettie Jo was housebound and unable to tend to her own needs . Bettie Jo now weighs 35st 8lbs (500lbs). Shedding 11st means she is now mobile and can stand up on her own . Bettie Jo, who now weighs 35st 8lbs (500lbs) thanks to surgery, reveals on the show that Josh had become her 'caretaker' - helping her go to the toilet and into the shower, and putting powder between her rolls of flesh afterwards to stop her skin from chafing. She said that the pair's relationship had become 'slim to none'. She added: 'Being that size was miserable. I was always in pain. My weight was killing me. I couldn't do anything on my own. 'My husband Josh had to help me take a shower and wipe my butt. It was humiliating. He had to be the caretaker. 'My marriage with Josh was really difficult too because my weight prevented me having a real marriage. Josh had to be my caretaker.' 'Our intimacy was slim to none. We’d been together for so long sometimes I thought, "Am I with you because I love you or because you're the one person who looks after me."' 'I hated myself. I hated my life. I was so tired of being that way.' Before her surgery Bettie Jo was reliant on husband Josh to tend her every need . Josh was in charge of the shopping and meals and kept Bettie Jo fed with unhealthy foods . But despite the deadly weight, Bettie Jo was living on a diet of fried chicken and barbecue sauce.

'I'd always been happy go lucky but after that I didn’t like myself. I was angry and depressed and started eating more. 'I thought that if I was bigger I could protect myself. I met Josh right after I turned 17. I was 400lbs by then and could hardly walk. 'I hated myself, I hated everything so I tried to kill myself and then I got put into hospital.'

Crawling commando-style underneath an open-sided Land Rover, I came virtually nose to nose with a 4,500lb horned rhino. I tried to slow my breathing as she looked straight at me. I needed to be calm to take my shot. There were three other rhinos with her and, let's be honest, they're not called a crash of rhino for nothing. I raised my camera and began to photograph what could soon become an extinct pachyderm. The luxurious Ulusaba Game Reserve is in South Africa's Sabi Sands and is Sir Richard Branson's private reserve . Thankfully the female found my scrawny presence of absolutely no consequence, and instead wandered off in search of tastier herbivorous options. I was with my mate James and we laughed awkwardly as we climbed back into the vehicle. My mum – Sky TV presenter Kay Burley – was sitting statue-still on board, having adopted her best nonchalant expression, but she wasn't fooling either of us. The holiday at Ulusaba, Sir Richard Branson's private game reserve in South Africa's Sabi Sands, was my reward for graduating. I have been on safari before but this was different. I'm an amateur car photographer and wanted to swap taking photos of Ferraris and focus instead on the roar of a bush lion, the yawn of a hippo, the prowl of a glorious leopard or a close-up of a fearless rhino. We achieved all of them. Kutner came face to face with three rhinos, along with documenting the roar of a bush lion, the yawn of a hippo and the prowl of a glorious leopard . Just the day before, we had tracked the crash of rhino on foot. With 1,000 rhinos killed by poachers in South Africa last year alone, they are increasingly difficult to view. Danny, our brilliant tracker, who could find a spelling mistake in a dictionary, had eventually located them, but with dusk fast approaching we reluctantly headed back to the Land Rover. The African bush is not a place to be on foot in the dark. We should know. We'd spent the earlier part of the day up close and personal with a pride of lions. Our ranger, Trevor, steered the Land Rover as close as he dared without disturbing the big cats. The lioness, who could have taken any one of us out with a casual swipe of her front paw, looked in our direction, checked her cubs and allowed us to stay. Trevor, also a photographer, whispered advice on appropriate settings for my Nikon D600 to achieve the best results. Heading back to the luxury accommodation at Cliff Lodge, a two-bedroom apartment within Rock Lodge (Mum described it as glamping but with solid walls, luxury furnishings, soft sheets and a chef to conjure up our favourite food), we talked about all the other animals we wanted to see, if possible.

Comedian Rik Mayall failed to leave a valid will to deal with his £1.2 million estate, which experts say could leave his family with a large inheritance tax bill. Mayall, who played scheming Tory MP Alan B’Stard in ITV series The New Statesman, and a host of other comedy characters, died suddenly aged 56 last June. But probate records reveal he had no will – even though he suffered serious head injuries and nearly died in a quad-bike accident in 1998 – which could mean complications for his wife of 29 years, Barbara, and their three adult children. Scroll down for video . Legacy: Rik Mayall is pictured in 1999 with his wife Barbara and their children after his quad bike accident . His estate could be liable for tax of tens of thousands of pounds which would not have been payable if he had left everything to his wife. Lawyers have always advised that people should have a valid will to avoid tax pitfalls. Mayall, one of the leading ‘alternative’ comics of the 1980s, surprised doctors by making a good recovery after his accident and returned to work in 1999, but he developed epilepsy and took daily medication. Rik Mayall (pictured) died suddenly aged 56 last June . His personal estate would be divided according to Government intestacy rules, which take into account marital status, children or surviving relatives. Andrew Kidd, a specialist probate solicitor and partner in London law firm Clintons, said that Mayall’s children would be automatically entitled to a share of his net estate of £1,192,701 after funeral and legal expenses, meaning they could inherit an amount liable for inheritance tax. But Mr Kidd said the amount of any tax payable would depend on the value of Mayall’s chattels or personal belongings which would go to his wife under intestacy rules. Mr Kidd said that the rules for a married father like Mayall meant his wife would be due to receive £250,000 plus all his ‘chattels’, which would include any personally owned cars, furniture, ornaments, books and jewellery. By law, Mayall’s children would then automatically get half the remaining value of the estate, creating a potential tax bill if the amount is more than the inheritance tax limit of £325,000. Mayall’s widow would have received a life interest in the remaining half – meaning she could not touch or transfer that money but could claim interest on it. Mr Kidd added that Mayall’s family could seek to avoid the tax by drawing up a deed of variation to split up his estate, reducing any sum left to the children so it was below the tax threshold. Mrs Mayall declined to discuss the estate and the apparent lack of a will. At her home in South-West London she said: ‘I haven’t heard anything from my lawyers yet.’ How the (Tory-hating) geniuses behind Alan B’Stard helped David Cameron into No 10 .

A man has died after falling from an apartment balcony while he was on the phone to his new wife. 29-year-old Pankaj Saw fell three storeys from a Macquarie Park balcony to his death on Thursday, while talking to his wife in India. Emergency services were called to the unit block on Cottonwood Crescent at 1am, however Mr Saw died at the scene from serious head and internal injuries. Scroll down for video . 29-year-old Pankaj Saw (right) fell three storeys from a Macquarie Park balcony to his death on Wednesday night, while talking to his wife in India . It is believed Mr Saw was leaning on a wooden railing that ran across the top of the balcony and it gave way falling to the concrete metres below. Mr Saw was in Australia on a long-stay work visa, and had been working on and off in Sydney in recent years. He was a systems support analyst for an IT firm and carried out work for Optus. Mr Saw returned to Australia on March 15 after spending six months in India, where he got married, colleagues say. Emergency services were called to the unit block on Cottonwood Crescent however Mr Saw died at the scene from serious head and internal injuries . Mr Saw was on the phone to his wife back in India at the time of the tragic fall . Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Howard Ryan, director of Housesafe, said he believed that the collapse was an accident waiting to happen after taking a look at pictures of the bracket which attaches the balcony to the wall. Mr Ryan said it appeared that rail 'has not been installed in a prudent, compliant and safe manner.' 'The metal bracket is installed in reverse, therefore the horizontal timber railing after a period of time has rotted and the fixings have pulled through the timber upon pressure of the deceased leaning on the railing pushing the timber outwards and him falling,' he said . Grief-stricken friends and workmates, including the two with whom he shared his unit, gathered at his apartment on Thursday.

'He is going to be badly missed,' she said. 'We just hope that something is done about what has happened here. 'You can tell that something obviously wasn't quite right about this apartment.' Investigators are looking at whether a structural fault contributed to Mr Saw's fatal fall. Detective Inspector Richard Puffett said police wanted to be sure all aspects of the balcony and the unit's structure were safe and sound. Police also hope to speak to the person who helped Mr Saw

Ander Herrera says he bares his full name on the back of his shirt for superstitious reasons following his spell at Athletic Bilbao. In a short Q&A video posted on the club's Facebook page on Tuesday morning, the Manchester United midfielder revealed that he wears both his forename and surname in order to carry on his form that earned him the move to the English giants last summer. Herrera joined the Red Devils for £29million following a relatively successful three-year period at Bilbao where he reached the Copa del Rey and the Europa League finals in his debut season at the club in 2011-12.

Herrera (left) reached the Copa del Rey and the Europa League finals in his debut season at Bilbao in 2011-12 . 'I'm superstitious. I started using Ander Herrera from Athletic [Bilbao] three years ago and I think I had a very good three years in Bilbao so I wanted to keep using that,' he answered following a supporter's question. After a stop-start beginning to life at Old Trafford, Herrera has forced his way into Louis van Gaal's starting line-up with a series of impressive displays that have coincided with the club's upturn in results. The 25-year-old took his tally to seven goals in all competitions this season with his double as United won 3-1 at home to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday. Herrera's celebrations were both met with so much emotion - something the Spaniard has admitted it's not uncommon to him in the past. And adding in the Q&A video, he hopes to show a lot more emotion as United target silverware in the future. 'Every win, every victory make me happy but I hope the most emotional moments are coming I'm sure of that because I'm at Manchester United,' he said. The 25-year-old (left) was on target twice as United beat Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday .

Delmarva Power says it did not cut off power to a family of eight who died of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning because they were behind on their utility bills. Spokesman Matt Likovich says the utility discovered a stolen electric meter had been illegally connected to the rental home where the family was living since November. The utility says the meter was disconnected for safety reasons on March 25. Rodney Todd and his two sons and five daughters then used a generator for power. They were last seen alive on March 28.

Pictured: Father Rodney Todd who died . Tynijuiza Todd, 15, (left) and her 12-year-old sister Tykira (right) are died in the carbon monoxide accident . Princess Anne Police Chief Scott Keller said earlier today the Delmarva Power company has been subpoenaed to document exactly when it shut off power to the rental home. Maryland law bars utilities from terminating electric service for nonpayment of bills from November 1 through March 31 without an affidavit filed to the Public Service Commission. 'I'm just numb. I'm just numb. Like it's a nightmare but it's not,' the children's mother, Tyisha Luneice Chambers, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. 'If I had known he was without electricity, I would have helped.' Court records identified the boys as Cameron and ZhiHeem, and the girls as Tyjuziana, Tykeria, Tynijuzia, TyNiah and Tybreyia. Bonnie Edwards said her grandsons were 13 and 7, and granddaughters were 15, 12, 10, 9 and 6, respectively. Eldest: Todd's eldest son Cameron, 13, is pictured with his sister, 15-year-old Tynijuiza . Birthday boy: On March 10, Todd posed for a photo with his son, 7-year-old Zycheim (left and right), saying his birthday was coming up soon . Police responding to a missing persons report found their bodies Monday after friends, school workers and Todd's supervisor at work had knocked on the door with no answer. 'The children were all in beds and it appears as though they were sleeping,' Keller said. 'They didn't have electricity. Probably it was bedtime and they decided they needed some light and probably some heat, because toward the end of March even though it was spring we were having some pretty chilly nights.' Why Todd ran the gas-powered generator inside his kitchen wasn't clear. The chief speculated that the noise would have bothered neighbors, had it been outside. Todd got some welfare money, but it wasn't enough, said Sarah Hardy, his close friend. 'How can a man survive off of basically minimum wage with seven kids, and you can't help him with a utility bill?' Hardy asked. 'This man was working. And Delmarva Power cuts the lights off?' Lloyd Edwards said his stepson had bought the generator after the power was shut off due to unpaid bills at their one-story wood frame home in the small town of Princess Anne on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

Summary: Delmarva Power says the utility discovered a stolen electric meter had been illegally connected to rental home where the family was living . The utility says meter was disconnected for safety reasons on March 25 . Rodney Todd and his two sons and five daughters then used a generator for power . They were last seen alive on March 28 .


Diamond fraudster Anna Foord jetted around the world buying designer shoes and bags using cash she swindled from her victims . A diamond fraudster who jetted around the world buying designer shoes and bags using the cash she swindled from her victims is facing jail. Anna Foord, of Elstree, Hertfordshire, convinced investors to buy low grade gems overvalued by up to 2,000 per cent, a court heard. The 30-year-old even flew to New York to shop in Fifth Avenue's most exclusive boutiques using the money she made. She was part of a gang of fraudsters who lived lavish lifestyles by selling investors coloured diamonds in the £1.5m 'boiler room' scam. But they were arrested and Foord was convicted of conspiracy to defraud and money laundering today while other members of the gang admitted similar charges. Foord was clutching a £1,000 Louis Vuitton bag when police arrested her while it was later revealed how she had her collection of expensive Jimmy Choo shoes destroyed in an attempt to conceal the fraud. The court heard how smooth-talking salesmen convinced clients the diamonds were a better investment prospect than gold and would pay handsome returns. But in reality, the diamonds were 'what the miners leave on the floor' and the gang were using their victims as 'cash cows', the court heard. Prosecutor Esther Schutzer-Weissman told how diamond investors lost in excess of £1.5m. 'The caller was persuasive, the caller was persistent and always suggesting to the investor that purchasing coloured diamonds was an investment that would get good and reliable returns,' she said. 'They were told often that diamonds would be scarcer and rarer and therefore more valuable because a mine, or mines, were closing or had closed. 'They were told this was a limited time opportunity and they were told that the investment was guaranteed to provide a good return, depending of course on how long the diamond was kept before selling on. 'Calls would be followed by letters that provided more concrete information about the investment prospect of the stones.' Shopping sprees of £6,135, £1,240 and £1,726 took place at Selfridges and Harrods in London and Bloomingdales in New York, the court heard. One conman, Hider Eshpari, 28, boasted that he lived in a penthouse and drove a top of the range Audi A6 before duping a retiree out of £15,500. The court heard one victim was told an orange yellow diamond's worth would rocket at Chinese New Year when demand for the diamonds increased and he bought it for £14,450. But the gem was in fact worth just £440. Farouq Eshpari (right) was found guilty of money laundering while Safia Eshpari (left) admitted a similar charge . A jury unanimously found Foord guilty of one count of conspiracy to defraud and money laundering . Co-defendant Farouq Eshpari, 55, of Enfield, Middlesex, was also found guilty of money laundering. Farouq's sons, Omar Eshpari, 34, and Hider Eshpari, 28, admitted conspiracy to defraud before the trial while wife Safia Eshpari, 52, admitted money laundering. Omar is already serving a seven year sentence for a

Summary: Anna Foord sold low grade diamonds at hugely inflated prices, court is told . Part of gang who sold coloured diamonds in £1.5million 'boiler room' scam . Foord, 30, was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud and money laundering . Another gang member was found guilty while three others admitted similar charges .


Paul Smith has landed one of the toughest fights in boxing after finalising terms to face Andre Ward on June 20. As revealed by Sportsmail, the fight in Oakland, California will not be for Ward's WBA super-middleweight world title. But it amounts to a huge, albeit daunting, opportunity for Smith, who failed in back-to-back challenges for Arthur Abraham's WBO belt. Paul Smith (left) has landed a shot at the unbeaten Californian Andre Ward . Ward (right) has not fought since he beat Edwin Rodriguez on points in November 2013 . In Ward he will face a man who outclassed Carl Froch in 2011, but who has been inactive since November 2013. Ring rust from that 17-month spell could be a factor in determining if Smith can beat one of the sport's top pound-for-pound talents, with the 32-year-old saying: 'I cannot wait to get back in the ring and test myself against a class act like Andre Ward. 'I proved that I belong at the top level with my performances against Arthur Abraham and this is a challenge that I am relishing. Andre is a top pound-for-pound fighter and someone I respect a lot, but he has only boxed once in almost three years and I will give it everything I have got. 'I am fresh and confident going into this fight. It's a massive opportunity for me and one that I took with both hands when it was offered. I have spent a lot of time boxing in the United States and I look forward to returning for this fight.' Ward said: 'I'm very excited to be coming back on June 20 at Oracle Arena in my hometown of Oakland, which has been a long time coming. I have an extremely tough fighter in front of me in Paul Smith, who's looking to pull the upset, but I can't let that happen. 'I have to be on my best game to turn Smith away and beat him the way I want to beat him.' Ward's WBA world super-middleweight title will not be on the line when he faces Smith in June .

Summary: Paul Smith will take on Andre Ward on June 20 in California . Ward's WBA super-middleweight title will not be on the line . Smith is coming off back-to-back world title defeats by Arthur Abraham . Ward has not fought since he beat Edwin Rodriquez in November 2013 .


Unwilling: The British Medical Association also found nearly two-thirds of GPs were not willing to join into larger groups to ensure one surgery in an area was open on Saturdays and Sundays . GPs are in revolt over Government plans for them to offer patients appointments seven days a week. Almost all family doctors polled in a new survey said they do not think their own practice should open on weekends. And nearly two-thirds are not even willing to consider forming groups with other surgeries to ensure that at least one in the area is open to patients on Saturdays and Sundays. The Government has tried to encourage GPs to offer out-of-hours appointments through a scheme known as the Prime Minister’s Challenge Fund, launched in 2013. Surgeries have been urged to form into groups of 20 to 30 to ensure that between them at least one stays open in the evenings and at weekends. The results of early trials published last month showed that among 34 practices taking part in the scheme in Central London, the number of patients going to A&E dropped by between 8 and 10 per cent. But a survey of 15,560 GPs by their union, the British Medical Association, found 63 per cent were opposed to forming networks with other surgeries to open seven days a week. Some 94 per cent were against their own practice opening every day. Just 2 per cent were in favour, while the remainder didn’t know. The survey also found that 67 per cent want to make the standard ten minute appointment longer to give them more time to properly care for patients. And 93 per cent said their heavy workload has negatively affected patient care. This is mainly because they do not have the staff or the resources to provide appointments to the increasing numbers seeking them. Dr Chaand Nagpaul, chairman of the BMA’s GP Committee, said: ‘GPs want to provide better services and spend more time with their patients, especially the increasing number of older people who often have a range of multiple health needs that require intensive, coordinated care. 'Unfortunately, this landmark poll highlights that GPs’ ability to care for patients is being seriously undermined by escalating workload, inadequate resourcing and unnecessary paperwork. Drop: A trial period opening GPs surgeries seven days a week found the numbers going to A&E fell . ‘While there is a willingness from GPs to look at offering extended hours, more than nine in ten GPs do not feel that their practice can provide blanket seven day services when GPs are struggling to provide even basic care to their patients. ‘GPs also feel it is more important to provide longer consultations.’

Summary: Two thirds are also not willing to consider joining into a group to ensure at least one surgery in an area is open on Saturdays and Sundays . But weekend trials show numbers going to A&E fell by 8 to 10 per cent . Survey by British Medical Association also found most felt 10 minute appointments to short, while heavy workloads meant patient care suffered .

Manchester City are confident UEFA’s punishment for breaching financial fairplay regulations will be lifted this summer which would allow them to bid for stellar names like Raheem Sterling, Gareth Bale, Kevin de Bruyne and Ross Barkley. City boss Manuel Pellegrini has been hampered over the past year by UEFA restricting them to a net transfer spend of £49million in each window and keeping the club’s overall wage bill to its current level of £205million-a-year. UEFA’s settlement with City published in May stated those penalties would remain in place until the end of the 2015/16 season but the club’s latest financial figures showed drastically-reduced losses of £23million which they feel proves they are now compliant with FPP regulations. Manuel Pellegrini is hoping that the financial restrictions imposed by UEFA for a breach of FFP rules will be lifted at the end of this season . Manchester City have been limited to a net spend of £49million in the last two transfer windows - they spent £25m bringing Wilfried Bony in from Swansea in January . Ahead of Monday night’s trip to Crystal Palace, Pellegrini was certainly talking like a man excited at the prospect of signing 'crack' players this summer. ‘I think that next season we don’t have any restrictions so we will be in the same position that all the other English clubs have,’ said Pellegrini. ‘It’s important. You have so many strong teams here in England and in Champions League, you can not allow them to keep the advantage every year; having less players to put in your squad or spending less money. We spend money, of course we always spend money, but they spent more.’ Manchester United, Barcelona, Liverpool and Arsenal have all paid more in transfer fees in the past 12 months than City who were traditionally Europe’s biggest spenders after the club was taken over by Abu Dhabi owners in 2008. Uefa also ordered City to play with a reduced squad from 25 players to 21 in the Champions League this season and while that restriction has now ended, any time reduction in the penalties on spending and wages is more controversial. Arsenal have paid more in transfer fees than City in the last 12 months, including £30m on Alexis Sanchez . The document published last May by UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body investigative chamber explicitly said City’s financial penalties would run for two seasons at least and there has been no official deviation from that decision. The published statement said at the time: ‘Manchester City agrees to significantly limit spending in the transfer market for the seasons 2014/15 and 2015/16. It means City will have to argue their case with Uefa that as they have been financially compliant over the past year, they deserve to be free of restrictions moving forward. They have successfully argued their case with UEFA before. Last summer they persuaded the governing body to allow them to bypass the normal quota of eight homegrown players as their Champions League squad had been reduced. Eliaquim Mangala joined the champions from Porto for £32m last

Summary: Manchester City have been restricted to a net transfer spend of £49m . Club's also had to keep overall wage bill to its current level of £205m . Punishments imposed by UEFA for breaching Financial Fair Play rules . The spending restrictions were set for this season and the next one . But City are confident they will be lifted early after their compliance .


The White House, sensing a legislative defeat was nigh, today said President Barack Obama would be willing to meet Congress half way and sign legislation codifying its role in processing a nuclear deal with Iran if a Senate committee axed key portions of the bill during a formal review this afternoon. Senators later voted 19-0 to give the White House some of, but not all of its asks, and left in a signature feature of the bill giving Congress the authority to approve a final deal with Iran that the White House earlier implied may have been on the chopping block. It now goes to the full Senate, where it is could pass with a veto-proof majority of more than 66 lawmakers. The House's top vote counter on Monday said lawmakers in the lower chamber would also take up the bill after their colleagues in the Senate finished the voting process. Senators voted 19-0 to give the White House some of, but not all of its asks, and left in a signature feature of the bill giving Congress the authority to approve a final deal with Iran that the White House earlier implied may have been on the chopping block . The Obama administration was in panic-mode this week, trying to strike a last-minute deal with legislators on both sides of the aisle that would satisfy its concerns with bill, which the White House had said as recently as yesterday that the president would 'absolutely' veto as written. While the legislative branch was in recess administration officials called 130 Members of Congress to try to persuade them not to act until the political framework that Iran agreed a week before firmed up. Officials ramped up their efforts in classified briefings with lawmakers today and yesterday. Among the White House's demands were that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee drop from the bill a requirement to for Iran to certify that it has not backed terrorism against Americans, cut down a 60-day 'window for Congress to look over a deal and 'clarify' that it is the president's 'decision to make' whether or not to enter into an agreement with Iran. It also said it wants legislators to promise that the bill currently under discussion 'would be the one and only mechanism for codifying precisely what the appropriate congressional oversight is into this matter.' 'If we arrived at a place where the bill that is passed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with bipartisan support is essentially is a vote to vote later on congressional sanctions - not the decision about whether or not to enter into the agreement - that would certainly resolve some of the concerns we've expressed about the authority that is exercised by the President of the United States to conduct foreign policy,' White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. It is 'critical' Earnest said that the legislation that comes out of the Senate is bipartisan so that 'there isn't an untoward effort to insert a different provision into some sort of must-pass piece of legislation that could really gum up the

Summary: Sensing a legislative defeat White House said the president would be willing to sign the bill if senators axed key portions of their Iran bill . Senators voted 19-0 to give the White House some of, but not all of its asks, and left in a signature feature giving Congress authority over a deal . It now goes to the full Senate, where it is could pass with a veto-proof majority - making the president powerless to reject it .

A little girl who slipped through metal bars and became trapped by the neck was saved by the heroic efforts of her neighbours. Na Chu had just returned from a trip to the zoo when her grandmother accidentally locked her in the house by herself in the Xiangtan, south China. The five-year-old panicked and ran to the window but fell between the protective metal slats of the residential property, the People's Daily Online reports. Scroll down for video . Long drop: The child dangles from the residential block in the Xiangtan District, south China . Propped up: A neighbour stops the five-year-old from suffocating by giving her a poll to sit on . Neighbours rushed to help after they spotted the little girl hanging in the air with her head trapped between the bars. Some used a piece of pipe to prop her up and prevent her from suffocating, while others supported her feet before firemen eventually arrived - half an hour later. One neighbour told local TV: 'Her terrified screams alerted us and we saw that the upper half of her body was lodged between the security bars and she was slowly slipping down. Rescue: A fireman helps the little girl who has fallen between the metal bars and become trapped by her neck . 'So a bunch of us leapt to action to try save her. We grabbed a drainpipe section and used that to prop her up. And we were talking to her, telling her not to panic.' Another woman took a handful of blankets from her home and laid them on the road below in case the girl fell. People have taken to Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, to praise the tireless efforts of the neighbour below, who supported her feet the entire time. They coined the term 'lifting man' in reference to him, which has now become internet slang for anyone who does a good deed. Help: The good Samaritan supports the child's legs while a worried crowd gathers below the apartment block . Slow response: People took to Weibo to praise neighbours and criticise the emergency services for taking 30 minutes to reach the girl, whose rescue was covered by local TV . ‘Nice people are still around,’ commented online user ‘Baby Lexuan’. Others criticised the emergency services for not getting there fast enough.

Mauricio Pochettino believes Harry Kane and Ryan Mason have not been able to show the same level of consistency since they returned from England duty and hopes to see a big improvement when Spurs face Newcastle. Kane has been one of the stars of the Premier League, scoring 29 goals in all competitions for Tottenham, and is just one away from becoming their first player since Gary Lineker in 1992 to hit 30 goals in a season. The England forward has been nominated for both PFA Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year. England call-up hurt the form of Harry Kane, according to his Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino . Pochettino believes that midfielder Ryan Mason has also been affected by the call-up . Mason has been one of the best young midfielders in England this season and has burst on to the international scene in his first full season in the top flight. But since being called into Roy Hodgson’s squad for the first time for the games against Lithuania and Italy, the duo have been well below their best as Spurs slumped to a goalless draw against Burnley and a shock 1-0 home defeat against Aston Villa last weekend. Pochettino said: ‘When players get their first call-up, they try to show they are good enough and try to impress the national manager, and because they are over-motivated they expend a lot of energy. ‘When you come back to the team, the consequence is that for two or three weeks you are a little bit down. It is normal and this happened at Southampton too. ‘I remember that we were third in the table and we went to play against Arsenal in November. If we won, with three points we’d have been first in the table. The performance wasn’t good. Why? Because we’d spent a lot of energy and it was difficult to keep our focus on the normal life. Pochettino hopes the pair can improve their standard of recent performances against Newcastle . Kane scored on his England debut after coming on as a substitute against Lithuania at Wembley last month . ‘I remember my first call-up for Argentina against Holland. I was up on a cloud for a month after it because it was unbelievable to play for the national team. When I got back to Espanyol it was difficult. I’d been away for 15 days with my national team and I came back and I said, “Oh, but now I play with Redondo, Batistuta...” You feel like a superstar and then you have to go back to Espanyol.’ Meanwhile, Pochettino has told supporters to judge him on where Tottenham finish next season. He added: ‘This season was one of transition. We brought a lot of young players, we got to a cup final at Wembley. Next season we need to build a team to fight for the top four.’

Summary: Mauricio Pochettino says Harry Kane has struggled since England debut . Also believes his team-mate Ryan Mason is suffering as well . 21-year-old Kane has scored 29 goals in all competitions this season .


Ibrox has been a happy hunting ground for the Edinburgh clubs this season. Three league visits have been made. Three defeats inflicted on Rangers. Stuart McCall believes his side now owe it to their fans to amend that record in their final chance of the regular season when Hearts come calling on Sunday. The Tynecastle side won 2-1 on their previous trip to Govan last August, while Hibernian have racked up 3-1 and 2-0 victories. Rangers boss Stuart McCall wants to win one visit from an Edinburgh club at Ibrox this season . However, a 2-0 success at Easter Road 12 days ago could have marked a turning point for Rangers in their previously flagging push for promotion. And McCall believes a significant home victory over the Championship title winners would be the ideal confidence boost for his play-off hopefuls. ‘There will be a big crowd there on Sunday and we owe the fans a real morale-boosting victory, we got that at Easter Road and it would be nice to turn over Hearts as well,’ he told the Rangers website. ‘I want to see a good energetic confident performance and to go toe-to-toe with a very good side. But I believe we are a very good side when we play our best. ‘I will have a few headaches running up to Sunday regarding team selection, people seem to think there will be three at the back the same as at Hibs, but Hearts are a very different side. Danny Wilson scores the opening goal as Hearts beat Rangers at Ibrox back in August . ‘This game isn’t how people thought it would be at the beginning of the season and if you look at the consistency they’ve shown then it is full credit to them. ‘They will have had all the plaudits and rightly so, but it’s all about us on Sunday and we have a long way to go this season. ‘We want to keep the momentum going and keep the belief in each other. It’s about looking around the dressing room now and knowing you can trust your team-mates, knowing that he is going to go to the end for you and get that ball for you. ‘There if one thing every successful side needs and it is togetherness and a good work ethic – hopefully we are getting that and added to that is confidence and good quality players. ‘We aren’t getting carried away and I am sure there will be one or two ups and downs towards the end of the season. ‘But it’s what happens at the end of the season and Sunday will be a big stepping stone for us.’ Kenny Miller celebrates after scoring against Edinburgh club Hibernian at Easter Road . McCall views Hearts’ 2-0 win over Rangers at Tynecastle in November – when Steven Smith was sent off during the first half – as a pivotal moment in the season. ‘Hearts are incredible, they’ve got 81 points out of 90 and everyone knows how well they’ve done,’ added McCall, who took over from

Summary: Rangers have been beaten three times by Edinburgh clubs at Ibrox thisseason . Manager Stuart McCall wants victory over Championship winners Hearts . Rangers defeated Edinburgh Hibernian at Easter Road recently .

Shay Given will keep his place in Aston Villa's side for the FA Cup final at Wembley against Arsenal - and is putting Brad Guzan under pressure for the No 1 jersey in the Premier League. Guzan was said to be hurting after missing out on the semi-final victory over Liverpool, but understood Tim Sherwood's decision to keep faith in the competition with the Republic of Ireland goalkeeper. Given's performances in the FA Cup have given Sherwood plenty to consider as the Villa manager looks to pick up the points required to stay in the top-flight, beginning with a trip to Manchester City on Saturday evening. Shay Given celebrates Aston Villa's 2-1 victory against Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley . Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzen lost out to Given for the Liverpool clash and is set to lose out again for the final . 'Shay comes in every day and trains hard,' said goalkeeping coach Tony Parks. 'He's fully behind Guz when he plays in the league team and he puts pressure on him. If Guz isn't playing well then Shay will be back in the team. 'The reverse comes in the cup. Brad hurts, Brad wants to play at Wembley in the semi-final but like he said to me, it's all about the bigger picture. 'He understands that Shay has earned the right to play in these games and that Shay has earned the right to stay in the team for the Cup final. I don't see that really being a question.' Given's recent performances have given Villa boss Tim Sherwood plenty to ponder overt the coming weeks .

Summary: Aston will face Arsenal in the FA Cup final at Wembley on May 30 . Shay Given started for Villa in their 2-1 semi-final victory against Liverpool . Villa travel to the Etihad to play Manchester City on Saturday .

The glowing blue letters that once lit the Bronx from above Yankee Stadium failed to find a buyer at an auction at Sotheby's on Wednesday. While the 13 letters were expected to bring in anywhere from $300,000 to $600,000, the only person who raised a paddle - for $260,000 - was a Sotheby's employee trying to jump start the bidding. The current owner of the signage is Yankee Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson, who purchased the 10-feet-tall letters for an undisclosed amount after the stadium saw its final game in 2008. No love: 13 letters that hung over Yankee Stadium were estimated to bring in anywhere from $300,000 to $600,000, but received no bids at a Sotheby's auction Wednesday . The 68-year-old Yankee said he wanted 'a new generation to own and enjoy this icon of the Yankees and of New York City.' The letters had beamed from atop Yankee Stadium near Grand Concourse in the Bronx since 1976, the year before Jackson joined the team. ESPN reports Jackson, who attended the auction, bought the letters 'on a lark.' Jackson joked that once he saw the size of the letters, some of which are also 10-feet-wide, he realized he might have gotten ahead of himself. He promised before the auction that if the letters were bought by a bidder in the United States, he would fly out to see the signage himself at the winner's home. Yankee Stadium: The letters at the stadium, which was built in 1923, were installed in 1976 and taken down in 2008 . In addition to the letters, Sotheby's was auctioning off a New York Mets bullpen car from the late 60s. Despite the Mets memorabilia being estimated at only $20,000 to $30,000, it raked in a winning bid of $112,500 at auction.

Summary: The Yankee Stadium signage was bought by Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson when the stadium was shuttered in 2008 for an undisclosed sum . Before the auction, Jackson had promised to fly out himself to see the letters at the winner's home .

German intelligence had repeatedly warned of the risk to aviation security, and had assessed the downing of the Ukrainian military plane on July 14 as a 'significant development because of its altitude', German public TV channels NDR and WDR and Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported. Earlier this month, the Dutch government - which lost 189 citizens in the disaster - said that, with nearly all of the victims identified, efforts had shifted . to finding those responsible for shooting the plane down as it flew over Ukraine last July.

'Now that we're very far with repatriation (of the victims' remains), investigation and prosecution are becoming more . central,' Koenders said in a statement. 'The ministers believe that prosecution is not only . important for the countries with victims on board. Civil aviation . is vulnerable and every safety violation is a concern shared . worldwide.' Forensics laboratories in the Netherlands have identified . remains of 296 of the 298 MH17 victims and recovered large parts of the wreckage . for investigation. Prosecutors are testing the theory that the plane was shot . down by a surface-to-air BUK missile fired from an area held by . pro-Russian forces. Because two-thirds of the victims were Dutch citizens, the . Netherlands is leading several post-crash investigations. The final report is due to be published in October.

For a player known for his fearsome, fire-breathing nature in the centre of Arsenal’s midfield, who would protect goal like it was a pot of gold, it is fitting that he is preparing to be a football manager at Dragon Park. Patrick Vieira is set to complete his UEFA Pro Licence this summer leaving Manchester City’s Head of the Elite Development equipped for the top job. He has been taking his coaching badges with the Welsh Football Association under their technical director Osian Roberts. Given Manuel Pellegrini’s capitulation at City, the timing of their conclusion could not be better with Vieira itching for a chance to test himself amongst the best. Patrick Vieira has been part of the coaching team at Manchester City since he retired . Vieira worked as Football Development Executive at City before becoming reserve team manager . Vieira is one of the potential candidates in the frame to replace Manuel Pellegrini - if he were to leave . Under Premier League rules, there is nothing stopping Vieira taking charge now as they allow coaches without the full qualifications to take charge for 12 weeks. There is currently no real hurry, but in the coming months City’s top echelons will have some important decisions to make. Vieira’s contract at City is due to expire this summer and he is not prepared to hang around forever waiting for a chance at the helm. City’s teenagers are in awe of the man, having grown up watching him torment the Premier League for a decade at Arsenal and City and across Europe. Vieira played for Manchester City towards the end of his career after spells at Juventus and Inter Milan . Vieira was signed by former manager Roberto Mancini in 2011 . One of their brightest prospects on loan at Lille, Rony Lopes, told Sportsmail in an interview: ’It was like a dream just to meet someone like Vieira. For him to be the coach, it was the best thing in the world. From the first day, he was always very friendly, talking to me a lot, trying to pass on his knowledge and make me grow up as a player and a person. That was he wanted. He is very important to me. He keeps in touch with me, asking how I am.’ After a poor start to his time in charge of City’s young players they have made it to the UEFA Youth League quarter-finals for two successive seasons, enhancing Vieira’s reputation. Young Portuguese player Rony Lopes spoke highly of Vieira . The Frenchman also has allies in the first team, having played with Vincent Kompany and Joe Hart in his one season at the club in 2010/11. When Vieira joined City in a coaching capacity in June 2013 his aim was to see how he progressed in ‘the next few years,’ suggesting he is coming to a decision-making juncture in his career. He chose the Welsh FA and Roberts, who works alongside his deputy Carl Darlington, to complete his badges because the pair are known for developing individual coaches

Sam said he believed he had been targeted because he had 'checked in' at the pub on Facebook minutes earlier. He said: 'It was quite a shock at first. I had just left the pub with two friends when I was suddenly pelted in eggs. 'There was shell in my hair and yolk dripping down my face. 'They shouted my name and swore at me as they drove past and threw eggs at me. 'They clearly didn't like me. It was not the kind of egg I was hoping to receive over the Easter holiday but after the shock had worn off I did have a laugh about it.' Scroll down for video . Sam had been taking part in filming with Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison on Saturday April 4 - just two days before he was attacked. Spending: Barton has spent £20,000 on treatment for his teeth, around £5,000 on Botox, £2,000 on waxing and £2,500 on tanning treatment.

Debts: Barton admits he had debts of £100,000 on 15 credit cards and store cards trying to make it as a celeb . He also recently appeared on popular ITV show Judge Rinder to resolve a wrangle with a lapdancer friend over a Botox treatment row.

Given the choice between 'average' and 'beautiful', which description would you choose for yourself? That is the question that has been posed to women by Dove in a new survey, and the results are shocking. In Australia, 83 per cent of women rate themselves as average looking, the study found, while around the world just four per cent think they're worthy of the glowing epithet. Scroll down for video . What do you choose? Dove has asked women to rate themselves as either 'beautiful' or 'average' Low self esteem: 83 per cent of Australian women said they would describe themselves as average . Of the 9,397 out of 11,000 that answered 'average', 84 per cent regularly have negative thoughts about their appearance. While the statistics speak volumes about Australian women's perceptions of themselves, they appear more confident than the global average. A staggering 96 per cent of women around the world describe themselves as average, leaving just four per cent to admit they consider themselves beautiful. The beauty brand highlighted the survey results with a new video, released this week, that shows women being faced with the choice of telling the world they see themselves as beautiful or average. Dove erected signs above doors to public buildings in five cities - Shanghai, San Francisco, London, Sao Paulo and Delhi - and filmed women's actions when faced with having to walk through one or the other. The vast majority of participants chose to walk through the 'average' door, corresponding closely with the survey results. On film: The statistics are highlighted in a new video by Dove which shows women having to walk through doors, either marked beautiful or average . Worldwide: The film was shot in five cities, Shanghai, San Francisco, London, Sao Paulo and Delhi . Dove says that feeling beautiful is a personal choice that women should feel empowered to make for themselves every day. However, many found that when they had to behave in a way that revealed their image of themselves to the world - they balked. Many said afterwards that they regretted their decision, and that it had affected how they felt about themselves. One woman confessed: 'It was confronting to see these signs, and to have to choose, and be self -conscious of how you perceive yourself and if it lines up with how the rest of the world perceives you. Are you beautiful? The global statistic was higher, with a staggering 96 per cent of worldwide respondents answering 'average' Choices: Like the survey results, the overwhelming majority of women chose to walk through the doors marked 'average' Unnattainable: 'Beautiful, to me, is too far out of reach,' said one participant who chose the average door . Another said: 'It was my choice, and now I will question myself for the next few weeks, maybe months.' A British woman, laughing modestly, said: 'I went through the average door. I didn't even hesitate.' While a Brazilian participant, who chose 'average' admitted: 'I regretted my choice because it was different to what I live for and what I live.'
