Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola blamed his team's Champions League quarter-final first-leg defeat by Porto on injuries. Porto take a two-goal advantage to Munich next Tuesday for the return leg of the last-eight clash after punishing a sloppy Bayern with two early goals from Ricardo Quaresma and a second-half effort from Jackson Martinez. Guardiola said: 'We have players who were out a long time with injuries ... their legs don't last very long. It's a tough result to take into the second leg, but we'll give it a go.' Pep Guardiola says his side suffered with the injuries they are currently contending with in the squad . Porto manager Julen Lopetegui said his side can now dream of reaching the semi-finals, but they will need to be 'perfect' in the second leg. 'Now we have produced a situation for ourselves where we can dream, knowing that we will need to give everything we have got to get through,' Lopetegui, a former Barcelona team mate of Guardiola, told reporters. 'We will need to produce a perfect performance in Germany next week to progress.' Julen Lopetegui says reaching the Champions League semi-final would be a dream come true . Ricardo Quaresma (7) gave Porto an early lead from the spot but Manuel Neuer was lucky to be on the pitch . Lopetegui said the return from injury of goalscorer Martinez, who had been out since early March with a hamstring problem, was one of the reasons for Wednesday's victory. 'With him back in the attack, we were able to press Bayern with some force and give them real problems,' he said. Martinez, who capitalised on an error by Jerome Boateng in the 65th minute to round Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer for Porto's third goal after Thiago Alcantara had reduced the arrears, said he was not yet 100 percent fit. The striker was a constant menace for Bayern's defenders and his tenacious harrying was rewarded after three minutes when he robbed Xabi Alonso before being brought down by Neuer for a penalty that Quaresma converted. Jackson Martinez (right) rounds Neuer to slot home Porto's third goal and put them in control . Martinez troubled Bayern throughout and tackled Xabi Alonso (right) in the build up to the penalty . It was a similar story for Porto's second goal when Quaresma picked the pocket of Dante before beating Neuer with a clever finish on 10 minutes. 'It was fundamental that we tried our best to impose ourselves on Bayern and not give them a chance to settle,' Martinez said. Quaresma also sought to heap praise on Porto's team ethic, saying hard work had proved the difference between the two teams. 'There are no stars here. We all work hard for our results,' the forward said. 'The win is more important to us than the display. We have all worked extremely hard to get this win to give ourselves something to defend in the second leg.' Quaresma scores Porto's second inside 11 minutes as they took advantage of a depleted Bayern Munich .

Summary: Pep Guardiola blamed injuries for his side's disappointing defeat to Porto . Bayern Munich's players were guilty of poor individual errors for the goals . Porto boss Julen Lopetegui is now dreaming of a semi-final place .

The dashcam footage showing Scott, 50, a Coast Guard veteran, being pulled over for a broken tail light just minutes before Slager shot him, was released to the media on Thursday. The camera continued to record for another hour and a recording of the audio feed, including the conversation between Slager and a senior officer, was obtained by The Guardian. 'By the time you get home, it would probably be a good idea to kind of jot down your thoughts on what happened,' the senior officer said. 'You know, once the adrenaline quits pumping.' 'It's pumping,' Slager said, laughing. The senior officer replied: 'Oh yeah. Oh yeah.' The senior officer told Slager during the conversation to go home and relax, assuring him that he would not have to answer questions about the shooting for days. Scott was shot five times in the back as he ran away from the traffic stop.

Drive-by death: Cassandra Cassidy was fatally wounded as she tried to help two women 'afraid of men in a car' outside a rehab centre . A 24-year-old rehab worker killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas was an 'innocent bystander' who had been trying to aid two women who had approached her in the street. Cassandra Cassidy had been stopped outside the addiction recovery centre where she worked shortly after 10pm on Friday by two females 'afraid of males in a car', police have said. The fashion design student was shot as a car occupied by multiple people drove past while she was talking to the women, and died in hospital shortly afterwards.

The women later told police they had been afraid of two men in a car down the street and asked to use Ms Cassidy's phone to call for help. A white, two door car with several occupants drove up to Ms Cassidy's car and fired several rounds, striking Cassidy but not the two women, before it sped off, Lt. Jeff Goodwin of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said. The aspiring designer, who had recently launched her own vegan clothing label, was mortally wounded and taken to University Medical Center where she died. The death of Ms Cassidy, who described herself as 'a 24-year-old fashion design student, artist, geek, photography enthusiast, hiatus model, and many other things' on her Instagram page, has devastated family and friends. Her boyfriend of two years, Adam Loghides, 26, said working at the rehab centre was a perfect fit for her, as she 'always finds the best ways and finds the best qualities in people'. The International Academy of Design & Technology-Las Vegas's student, was 'an avid supporter of civil rights and LGBTQ issues and someone who represented fairness on all levels and equality,' Mr Loghides told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The gruesome campaign, shows vegan lead guitarist of 'I Killed the Prom Queen,' Jona Weinhofen, holding a severed lamb alongside the words, 'here's the rest of your wool coat.'

PETA's latest campaign shows vegan guitarist Jona Weinhofen, holding a severed lamb actually made of foam . Many have taken to social media to voice their disgust at the 'misleading' and 'inaccurate' advertisment .

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals also accompanied a series of graphic videos along with the advert. The Victorian Farming Federation launched an official complaint on Monday . The disturbing clips showed Australian shearers kicking, stamping and mutilating the creatures before stitching up their butchered wounds with a needle. The investigation posted on PETA's website states that this gruesome behaviour was observed in 19 shearing sheds across Australia. 'Shearers are often paid by volume, not by the hour, which encourages fast, violent work and can lead to severe cuts on sheep's bodies,' it said. 'Large swaths of skin were cut or ripped off the bodies of many sheep by the shearers.' The campaign aims to deter people from purchasing wool products and gives a number of alternatives such as cotton, linen and fleece. But many shearers, farmers and wool buyers have taken to social media to defend the industry and reject that the abuse is systematic across the country as this would cause a national scandal. The Victorian Farming Federation also took to social media to vent their disgust at the advertisement. 'WE'RE prepared to fight tooth and nail for our farming industry today launching an official complaint to the Advertising Standards Bureau on PETA's latest misleading and offensive campaign,' they posted on their Facebook page.

A Sydney teenage girl last seen leaving for school 40 years ago probably ran away and may still be alive, a coronial inquest has found. Marian Carole Rees was 13 when she disappeared from Hillsdale in southern Sydney in early April 1975 after telling a friend that she had forgotten something and jumped off her school bus. The teenager often talked of running away from home and had said goodbye to her brother on the morning she disappeared, Magistrate Sharon Freund said in findings handed down on Thursday. Marion Carole Rees (pictured) who went missing 40 years ago may still be alive, according to an inquest . Ms Freund said the disappearance did not appear suspicious and there was no evidence suggesting suicide. The teenager probably ran away with the intention of permanently cutting ties with family and friends, she said. 'It is likely nothing has changed in the intervening period.' 'She may still want to avoid detection and not wish to make contact with her family.' She said she was unconvinced, on the balance of probabilities, that Ms Rees is dead. Magistrate Freund said 'the ability to assume a new identity and new life would have been a lot easier forty years ago'. Marion (pictured with her family) was reportedly fed up with taking care of her younger siblings, as her mother had a drinking problem . Marian had only been living in Australia for a year after emigrating when she went missing while on the bus to Matravill High School with her friend Tanya Davenport. The 13-year-old jumped up to say she had forgotten something and got off the bus. She hasn't been seen since, however her mother's boyfriend at the time came out to say he thought he spotted her at a bus stop in Kingsford just weeks after she disappeared. In a statement last year, Mrs Davenport told the Daily Telegraph that Marian was preoccupied during their bus journey and thought she may have seen something when she jumped off the bus. '[Marian] was sitting next to me and from memory she looked a bit upset. During our conversation, she was looking out the window. I don't know whether she saw something or what but she jumped out of her seat and said 'I've forgotten something. I've got to go and I'll see you at school,' Mrs Davenport said. Marian had spoke about running away on numerous occasions according to her aunt and grandmother . Ms Rees would now be 53 years old. It is believed that she may have been running away from her mother Margaret and her two siblings John and Joanne, who she often had to take care of due to her mother's drinking. After her disappearance Marian's relatives, including her grandmother and her aunt, told of how the teenager longed to run away from her normal life. The case has been referred back to the Missing Person's Unit for further investigation as the Magistrate believes there were holes in the police investigation at the time.

Skipper John O'Shea has challenged Sunderland to keep their fate in their own hands by securing a fifth successive derby victory over Newcastle. The Wear-Tyne rivals meet at the Stadium of Light on Sunday with Sunderland having won the last four meetings, but in grave need of three points to ease themselves away from the developing battle for Barclays Premier League survival. O'Shea and his team-mates could find themselves inside the relegation zone by the time they run out if Burnley get the better of Tottenham in the day's earlier kick-off, and that would make three points a necessity. John O'Shea, pictured playing for Ireland at the weekend, wants a fifth straight derby win against Newcastle . The Black Cats captain celebrates scoring against Newcastle in the Tyne-Wear derby of 2012 . The Republic of Ireland international told SAFSee: 'That's the big issue: whoever we were facing this weekend, be in Newcastle, be it Crystal Palace, be it Southampton, whoever the case may be, it's a case of getting the three points as soon as we can and getting everyone energised again and looking forward to the remaining games. 'Look, we know we're not in the position that we'd like to be in, but we know we can get out of it. It's in our hands.' After a dreadful run of results against their arch-rivals, the Black Cats have fared rather well in recent times, winning the last three at St James' Park and the most recent game on Wearside. Asked what lay behind that run of results, O'Shea said: 'Staying together as a unit, keeping the team spirit strong, working as a unit all over the pitch and taking chances. 'Making sure we got clean sheets and also whether it was early or late in the game, making sure we took chances - they were the keys, and obviously having a strong squad as well because there were a couple of times where there were changes in the line-up before games. Jermain Defoe rues a missed opportunity during defeat to West Ham in Sunderland's previous game . 'Everyone has got to be mentally prepared to start the game, and obviously anything can happen then in the 90 minutes. 'Look, it's one of those things, we have a chance of creating a fantastic record against a big rival, the main rival for us, so it's a fantastic opportunity. 'But ultimately, it comes down to wanting it more on the day and hopefully, that will be the case.'

Summary: Sunderland face Newcastle in the Tyne-Wear deerby on Sunday . Captain John O'Shea has targeted a fifth successive win over rivals . Black Cats are in danger of falling into relegation zone over Easter .

Former New England Patriots star and newly convicted killer Aaron Hernandez is facing a second murder trial in a 2012 drive-by shooting that left two men dead and a third wounded. Earlier today, the 25-year-old athlete was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in the 2013 shooting death of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd. A jury panel in Fall River, Massachusetts, spent 36 hours spread over seven days deliberating Hernandez’s fate before returning a guilty verdict. Scroll down for video . More victims: Aaron Hernandez is accused of killing Daniel Abreu (left), 29, and Safirdo Furtado (right), 28, immigrants from Cape Verde, in July 2012 after a nightclub altercation over a spilled drink . Former NFL player Aaron Hernandez, pictured at his sentencing at the Bristol County Superior Court in Fall River, Massachusetts, Wednesday, is facing a second trial in a 2012 deadly drive-by shooting . Following the sentencing phase, which took place immediately after the conviction, Hernandez was handcuffed and returned to jail. A first-degree murder conviction in Massachusetts automatically triggers an appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court. A date for the Hernandez appeal wasn't immediately set. But the former Patriots tight-end will back in front of a judge later this year, this time in Boston, to face murder charges in the killings of Daniel Abreu, 29, and Safirdo Furtado, 28. The jury that rendered the Lloyd verdict was not told about that case. On July 16, 2012, the two immigrants from Cape Verde were found murdered in their car at a stop light in South Boston following a drive-by shooting. A third man was wounded in the incident but survived. They had reportedly gotten into a fight with Hernandez and his crew over a spilled drink at a night club prior to their murders. In May 2014, Hernandez was indicted for both killings. He pleaded not guilty. According to prosecutors, de Abreu accidentally bumped into him at Cure Lounge, spilling Hernandez's drink. Hernandez told a friend he thought the man was 'trying' him, and surveillance video outside the club showed Hernandez pacing back and forth while his friend tried to calm him down at around 2.30am. Later, Hernandez drove around until he saw the men get in a BMW, followed them and shot at them from a silver SUV at a stop light, prosecutors said. A third man in their car also was shot but survived. About six weeks after that shooting, Hernandez signed a five-year, $40million contract with the Patriots, and he went on to play for another season before Lloyd was killed. He was cut from the team soon after being arrested in Lloyd's killing in June 2013. The Boston case against Hernandez is considered to be stronger than the one that had just wrapped up in Fall River because prosecutors have the suspected murder weapon in the drive-by shooting and eyewitness accounts to rely upon, according to Fox Sports.

A size 24 woman who spent years gorging on discounted snacks on the supermarket she works at has lost seven stone after ditching the habit. Leanne Kenny, 23, from Northwich, Cheshire, reached almost 20 stone after repeatedly taking home end-of-the-line discounted junk food. The supermarket worker would snack on bumper bars of chocolate, baked goods and fizzy drinks going cheap because of their sell-by dates. Leanne Kenny ballooned to almost 20st after snacking on leftover goods at her place of work, but after ditching the snacks Leanne has lost 7st and now weighs in at 13st . It wasn't until she broke down in a shop changing room when she couldn't squeeze into their largest dress that she finally resolved to lose weight and cut out her unhealthy post-work snacks. Following her strict diet and fitness regime Leanne has shed seven stone and has shrunk down to 13 stone. Leanne says that she had always struggled with her weight but the real problem began after starting her job in the Co-op. Leanne worked as a check out girl at the Co-op and would snack on discounted products every day . Leanne says that she had always struggled with her weight and was teased when she was in school . Leanne says her break through moment came when she was unable to fit into the largest size in a store . 'Even as a child, I was the biggest one among my friends but my weight really became a problem when I started my supermarket job and couldn't resist the discounted treats,' she said. 'I would get teased at high school but I put on such a confident front, laughing off the hurtful comments and plastering myself in makeup just to make myself feel better.' By the age of 16, Leanne was already a size 20 and felt too embarrassed to go out with her friends so she swapped nights out with staying in wearing sweat pants and drinking fizzy drinks. Leanne started her job as a team leader at Co-op in 2010, aged 19, and she began piling on the pounds. By December 2013, she weighed 19st 3lb and went shopping for a new dress but broke down in tears when she couldn't fit into the store's size 24. Leanne said: 'When I started working at Co-op, I found out that lots of food was discounted at the end of the shift. Leanne joined Weight Watchers and took up walking in a bid to shed the weight . 'I couldn't resist the temptation. I would tell myself that I was bringing it home so that the food wouldn't be wasted or would share it between my family but to be honest I would bring home food anyway whether it was cheap or not and it would all be for me.' Aware that she was gaining weight Leanne attempted some weight-loss regimes but she would quickly give up. 'As my weight increased, I did try some diets but I just couldn't stick with any of them. I'd get hungry at work and then

Summary: Leanne Kenny reached 20st after starting work as a check out girl . She would take reduced products home and snack on them each night . She has since joined Weight Watchers losing 7st and ten dress sizes .


Juventus have made a move for Paulo Dybala, the Palermo striker who has caught the eye of Manchester United and Arsenal, according to reports in Italy. Gazzetta dello Sport report that, with speculation Carlos Tevez could be eyeing a return to Argentina with Boca Juniors, the Serie A side have tabled an offer of 25million euros (£18m) for the 21-year-old. Turin-based Tuttosport follow up those reports by adding that Maurizio Zamperini, the Palermo president, is hoping interest from sides such as United and Arsenal will spark a bidding war that will raise Dybala's fee. La Gazzetta dello Sport (left) and Tuttosport feature Juventus and their attempts to sign Paulo Dybala . Palermo striker Dybala (left) has also been linked with a transfer to Manchester United and Arsenal . The paper adds that Juventus have made an early move for the striker to avoid such a scenario.

Fruit juices made from so-called superfoods such as cranberries and pomegranates often have more sugar than a can of cola, officials have warned. While the drinks are said to have health benefits, some brands contain more than a day’s recommended intake of sugar in a single 300ml serving. The Local Government Association, which represents councils that are responsible for public health, accused soft drink firms of ‘dragging their heels’ when it comes to minimising sugar in their products. Ocean Spray Cranberry Classic juice drink (pictured left) was found to have 11g of sugar per 100ml, which is more than the amount in a can of Coca-Cola (right) It said children under the age of ten get almost a fifth of their sugar intake from soft drinks. In a survey, the organisation found that some cans of fizzy drinks contain almost twice the recommended daily sugar limit for adults. Even some fruit juices contain more than a single day’s limit in a single serving – surpassing a can of Coca-Cola. Ocean Spray Cranberry Classic juice drink was found to have 11g of sugar per 100ml, while PomeGreat ‘Super Juice’ had 12.1g. Both exceed the 10.6g per 100ml in a can of Coca-Cola – but do not come close to the 15.1g per 100ml in Old Jamaica Ginger Beer. A 300ml serving of any of the four drinks would breach the 25g daily sugar limit recommended by the World Health Organisation. Juice businesses insisted the study is misleading because it does not differentiate between unhealthy added sugar – such as monosaccharides and disaccharides in fizzy drinks – and natural sugar found in fruit. Cranberry juice is frequently promoted as a health product which is said to ward off urinary tract infections. And pomegranate juice has been linked to resistance to prostate cancer and heart disease. The LGA is calling for a fifth of the VAT raised on sugary drinks, sweets and takeaway food to go to councils to pay for public health schemes. Councillor Izzi Seccombe, Tory leader of Warwickshire county council and chairman of the LGA’s Community Wellbeing Board, said: ‘It is wholly unacceptable for one normal-sized can of soft drink to contain double the recommended daily limit. ‘Products like these are fuelling the obesity crisis and helping wean a generation of overweight children. ‘We are calling on the sector as a whole to step up and show more corporate responsibility.’ A spokesman for Ocean Spray said cranberries are naturally low in sugar, so sweetening is required. Vitamin Water is promoted for its health benefits, but drinks contain four teaspoons of sugar per 330ml . She added: ‘We offer consumers a range of reduced sugar options including our Cranberry Classic Light product . ‘We’ve made and continue to maintain a firm commitment to low-sugar innovation, and through product formulation, price promotion and portion sizes we seek to offer the best choice in flavours, calories and formats.’ Adam Pritchard, chief executive of PomeGreat, accused the LGA of distributing misleading research. He said his product does not include refined sugar, which the WHO says is

But ome brands contain more than a day’s recommended intake of sugar in a single 300ml serving .

China's Ding Junhui suffered a bizarre lapse of concentration which ended his chance of a rare maximum 147 break at the world snooker championship on Tuesday. Ding potted 12 reds and 12 blacks to rack up 96 points but after knocking in the 13th red he screwed back up the table to get position on the blue. The world No 3 suddenly realised what he had done and held his head in his hands before starting to giggle along with his first-round opponent Mark Davis. Ding Jinhui was on for a maxumum break of 147 before screwing back for the blue instead of the black . The Chinese world No 3 realised what he had done and chuckled during his first-round match with Mark Davis . He composed himself before attempting a very difficult cut on the black but was unable to keep the break going when his shot missed. Ding would have pocketed £30,000 for a maximum break, which has only been achieved 10 times in the world championships at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. Ding wasn't able to continue his break to pocket £30,000 at the world snooker championships at the Crucible .

Women travelling on the London Underground are being urged to report sexual assaults in a new initiative. Transport for London has launched a campaign to tackle abuse on public transport, with a video in which a female commuter is groped while on the Tube. The uncomfortable footage - which uses actors - sees the woman hounded by an increasingly persistent male, who looks her up and down, gets on to the same train carriage and then gropes her. Scroll down for video . Unsettling: Transport for London has launched a new campaign to tackle sexual assault on public transport, with a video in which a female commuter is groped on The Underground . Every time the man steps up his creepy efforts, the narrator - Broadchurch actress Olivia Coleman - asks: 'Would you report it?' After the man, who is clearly wearing a wedding ring, gropes his victim, she moves to a separate part of the carriage, only for him to shuffle up behind her. 'He pushes his groin right into you,' the narrator says. 'Would you report it?' According to TLC, one in ten Londoners have experienced unwanted sexual behaviour on public transport, but 90 per cent of these incidents go unreported. The campaign’s website reads: 'You can report anything of a sexual nature, including rubbing, groping, masturbation, leering, sexual comments, indecent acts, or someone taking photos of you without your consent.' The uncomfortable footage - which uses actors - sees the woman hounded by an increasingly persistent male, who looks her up and down, then gets onto the same train carriage as her . Every time the man steps up his creepy efforts, in this case groping her rear, the narrator - Broadchurch actress Olivia Coleman - asks, 'Would you report it?' TLC states: 'You don’t have to prove that it was a criminal offence or intentional to report it, we can investigate that for you. 'No incident is too small or trivial. Our officers are trained to deal with these sort of cases. We will treat you with respect and dignity. 'You will always be believed and you will always be taken seriously. The man, who is wearing a prominent wedding ring, continues to find excuses to move closer to his victim . According to TLC, one in ten Londoners have experienced unwanted sexual behaviour on public transport, but 90 per cent of these incidents go unreported . Speaking about the campaign, British Transport Police assistant chief constable said: 'We want the travelling public to feel confident that we take every sexual incident seriously no matter what has happened.' The video, entitled Report It To Stop It, is part of TfL's Project Guardian initiative, which was launched two years ago. Since then, the British Transport Police has seen a 25 per cent increase in the number of sexual assaults being reported.

Summary: Transport for London used actors in the uncomfortable campaign video . Encourages women to report sexual harassment on public transport . One in ten Londoners have fallen victim and 90% of cases are not reported .


Beer is booming at discount supermarket chain Aldi which increased its share of the premium ale market by a third stealing customers away from troubled giant Tesco. Tesco does still have the biggest share of the lucrative market, which research by Kantar shows has grown by more than 10 per cent over the last year and is now worth £490million. The leader has improved its market share in the increasingly fashionable premium ale market, but it's believed Aldi is luring customers away from Tesco, offering a smaller range but cheaper prices. Another chapter: Fluctuations in the premium ale market are just a small part of the shopping revolution which has seen shoppers flock away from giants like Tesco and towards the growing discounters . To use an example of the difference in price, Aldi sells bottles of Newcastle brown ale for £1.24. They costs £1.64 at Tesco and Waitrose and £1.65 at Morrisons. The discounter has also increased wine sales by 24 per cent over the last years which shows drinkers with all tastes are now flocking to Aldi to buy their booze. It's another chapter in the rise of discounters who are slowly stealing market share from the big three, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda. Other research, also by Kantar, showed that Aldi overtook Waitrose as Britain's sixth biggest supermarket with its performance in the first three months of 2015, increasing share of the whole supermarket industry from 4.6 top 5.3 per cent in a year. The top four supermarkets, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons have all lost market share in the first three months of 2015. Aldi, Waitrose and Lidl managed to increase thiers, with Aldi showing the biggest rise . Tesco has had a troublesome year, with its year-on-year share price down 18 per cent. Last year, they discovered a £263million gap in their accounts which involved rebates to suppliers and is being investigated by the Serious Fraud Office. Shortly afterwards they sacked boss Phil Clarke who was replaced by Unilever executive Dave Lewis, who announced a series of money-saving measures to try and turn the tide.. The research into the premium ale market doesn't tell a very consistent story, with all but two of the big supermarkets managing to increase their market share. Sainsbury's currently has the second largest share in the beer market which it has improved by 7 per cent while Asda, third, increased by 1.5 per cent. Upmarket Waitrose, which also saw a double-digit increase in the premium ale market, now has a 5.1 per cent share of the entire supermaket industry. But while Aldi made great gains, Lidl, the other rising discounter to have improved its share in the supermarket industry, saw a 7.9 per cent fall in its proportion of the premium beer market. Morrisons’ share dipped 1.4 per cent . In January Tesco published the location of 43 loss-making stores that will close, and shelved plans to open a further 49 stores. City bosses expect them to announce huge losses in profit next week. It's been a totally different story for Aldi, which

Summary: Fashionable premium ale market grew more than 10 per cent to £490million . Aldi increases share by more than a third and wine sales up 24 per cent . Discounter is now Britain's sixth largest supermarket overtaking Waitrose . Giants Tesco and Asda losing overall share of the supermarket sector .


Rory McIlroy's powers of persuasion have resulted in US Open champion Martin Kaymer, former world number one Luke Donald and American Ryder Cup star Patrick Reed confirming their participation in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. McIlroy's foundation is hosting the event at Royal County Down from May 28-31 and the world number one has been a major influence in attracting a top-class field, who will compete for a prize fund of £1.8million, an increase of 25 per cent from last year. Reed let the cat out of the bag on the final day of the Masters at Augusta National, also revealing he would compete in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth the week before. Rory McIlroy managed to persuade some of golf's biggest stars to take part in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open .

Ryder Cup captain Clarke said: 'Rory has pulled in a lot of favours and it's a testament to the high esteem Rory is held that it's going to be the strongest field for a long time. 'It's a huge positive for the European Tour to have such a tournament on one of the best golf courses in the world. 'I have always wanted to win the Irish Open but have not managed to play well in it that often. Hopefully being back at Royal County Down I will have a decent week this year.' Luke Donald is one star who McIlroy managed to persuade to take part in his foundations tournament . Donald, who last played in the Irish Open in 2004, said: 'My performances and results have been getting better and better recently and I am feeling very positive about a huge summer of golf ahead. 'The Irish Open will be a big part of that and I am looking forward to playing Royal County Down and some really 'old school' links golf - I think the links golf factor will add a lot to the event and it's looking like it's going to be a great week.' Kaymer added: 'There is definitely a good feeling about this year's Irish Open and I think Rory has done a great job to get such a great field for the event and to create a really nice atmosphere about the tournament.' The nature of the course means that spectator numbers will be limited to 20,000 a day, although 5,000 grandstand seats will be erected. US Open champion Martin Kaymer will hope to improve on his Masters performance at the Dubai Duty Open .

Shane Dunn, 25, from Tunbridge Wells, stabbed victim Ian Garrod, 55, in the neck after meeting on the gay dating app Grindr . A drug-fuelled thug calling himself 'Gypsy Lad' slashed a middle-aged man around the throat with a kitchen knife after meeting him on the gay dating app Grindr. Shane Dunn, 25, from Tunbridge Wells, Kent, carried out the attack after going back to Ian Garrod's home in Medway for sex in September last year. But when the 55-year-old sat on the bed, Dunn - who was said to be 'cool as a cucumber' during the attack - stabbed him in the throat. Dunn, who was high on Class A Mephedrone, then left Mr Garrod in fear of his life, before fleeing from the property with his victim's wallet, iPhone, iPad and jewellery. The callous attacker even pretended to call an ambulance for his victim, but instead left him for dead with a 6cm-deep wound. He was later caught after police examined two cigarette butts found in Mr Garrod's garden - both of which had DNA linking to the attacker. Luckily, Mr Garrod's housemate returned the the property and called an ambulance. The court heard it was only by the skill of a surgeon at Medway Maritime Hospital that the victim's life was saved. Dunn has now been jailed for 12 years after being found guilty of wounding with intent. He was cleared by a jury of attempted murder. Judge Jeremy Carey told Dunn he had narrowly decided against finding him dangerous, which would have led to an extended sentence. Judge Carey said Dunn was convicted of the wounding charge 'on the clearest evidence'. He said: 'You asserted you effectively were not the person who stabbed Ian Garrod and the jury found on the evidence you were and you intended to cause him really serious harm. 'It was hardly surprising since you cut his throat to a depth of 6cm. Only by the skill of a surgeon at Medway Maritime Hospital the flow of the blood was clipped and stemmed. 'Otherwise, you would have been convicted of murder.' The judge said there were 'inevitable uncertainties' about what happened that night. He continued: 'I am quite sure you did not attend there with the intention of committing acts of violence. I am quite sure something happened that night that caused you to lose it. Maidstone Crown Court heard how Dunn was caught after police examined two cigarette butts found in Mr Garrod's garden - both of which had DNA linking to the attacker . 'You say you don't remember. I don't know if you do or not. You are not a man prone to extreme violence. 'I think by a combination of a Class A drug you used that night and the revelation of something possibly to do with HIV on the part of Mr Garrod you lost it. 'You got a knife from the block and went upstairs and, cool as a cucumber, you slit his throat. Anyone listening to this must realise how serious this offending is. 'You made your

Summary: Shane Dunn, 25, from Tunbridge Wells, Kent, attacked Ian Garrod, 55 . He pretended to call ambulance before fleeing with victim's possessions .

A 4,000-year-old tree thought to be Britain's oldest living organism may be dying according to its custodian. The stunning Ashbrittle Yew, in the churchyard of the parish's Church of St John the Baptist, in Somerset, has a girth of 38ft and an enormous vast canopy. Its central trunk is hollow with six smaller ones branching off - possible due to disease - and locals fear it is on its way out due to wilting branches and falling leaves. The 4,000-year-old tree is 'looking extremely sick,' according to a warden at the church in Ashbrittle, Somerset . Churchwarden Charles Doble said: 'The tree is supposed to be the oldest living thing in England and was already fairly mature when Stonehenge was being built. 'Experts say it is 3,500 to 4,000 years old. 'But it's looking extremely sick at the moment and I'm worried whether the rural church or the yew will die first.' But tree expert Dr Owen Johnson said the yew, in the village 10 miles west of Taunton, could just be going through a bad patch. He said: 'They go through spells where they might look as though they are not thriving, but a few years later they might look fine.' The Ashbrittle Yew is the subject of myth and legend and people believe the mound it grows on is Bronze Age and that a pre-Roman chief is buried there. The world's oldest tree lives on a mountain in central Sweden – and it is still growing. The 9,500-year-old Norwegian Spruce (pictured right) was discovered by scientists at Umeå University during a 2004 tree census in Fulufjällets National Park in Sweden. The age of the tree was established using carbon-14 dating at a laboratory in Miami, Florida after an investigation by the university. It has been able to survive so long thanks to the process of vegetative propagation, which means it is able to effectively clone itself. While the visible portion of the 13ft tall tree is relatively new, its root system has been growing for almost ten thousand years.

Summary: Experts say the Ashbrittle Yew was mature when Stonehenge was built . Locals fear it's 'extremely sick' due to wilting branches and falling leaves . But a tree surgeon thinks it could just be going through a 'bad patch'


MaiquetIa, Venezuela: it's a long way from Bundoran — and a long way from the Belfast homes of Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan. The pair mischievously claimed that Donegal's seaside town was their destination of choice for a post-Olympic break following their respective bronze medal wins at London 2012, but they have certainly travelled far and wide during the current Olympiad. Barnes may have already been well known in Ireland prior to their achievements in London, but taking up his part in a charming double act with Conlan only endeared him further to a nation that unfortunately only flirts with the amateur version of the sport every four years before medallists appear on homecoming flights. Conlan (leff) lands a right jab on Matthew Martin during his bantamweight bout in Glasgow in 2014 . The reality of making that happen is far more complex, of course, and the efforts of Barnes and Conlan to make it to Rio 2016 are unprecedented. On Saturday night, the Belfast boys are potentially both one win away from qualifying for next summer's Olympic Games, with Barnes needing to ensure victory while Conlan must do likewise and depend on another result elsewhere. Their mission takes them to Maiquetia, northern Venezuela, where they will take on native opposition, the latest stop on the road-trip that is the World Series of Boxing (WSB) — a part of the convoluted new structure that once was 'amateur' boxing. WSB boxers are part of a franchise team, fighting individually over five three-minute rounds in a pro-style format. Barnes and Conlan box for the Italia Thunder team, but the sights and sounds of Milan and Rome were not what drew them to the competition. In fact, they have fought only three of their six bouts so far in Italy and while most WSB fighters receive payment, the Irish pair signed up with Olympic qualification as their sole motivation. Upon their return to Belfast after Saturday night's fight, they will have covered a distance of over 34,000 miles over the course of their various round trips. That is the equivalent of three trips from Dublin to Melbourne. They will have each fought seven fights in 13 weeks and, as of today, Barnes has boxed 29 rounds in 12 weeks to Conlan's 28. They are burnt out, peeved off and ready for rest — but only once their mission is complete Saturday night. Barnes is one victory away from qualifying for 2016 summer games in Rio . 'I just feel tired, I'm sick of it,' laments a worn-out Barnes, who is an undefeated 6-0. 'To fight every fortnight, travelling around the world, it's doing my head clean in. I'll be glad to get out of it. Hopefully I qualify and some good will have come from it. 'I was flying to Kazakhstan and I felt like crying on the plane, I felt like pulling out. I was very, very close. I think I was in Heathrow and I was going to get a plane back to Belfast. 'If I didn't qualify for the Olympics through this

Summary: Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan are competing in Maiquetia, northern Venezuela on Saturday night . The duo are hoping to qualify for the 2016 games in Rio . Barnes and Conlan box for the Italia Thunder team .


A hilarious manufacturing mistake means some police officers will have the word 'POLICE' written upside down on their uniforms. The error was spotted during a Hampshire Constabulary training course in Hamble near Southampton. Two officers have decided to proudly continue wearing the tops with the mistake on the left sleeve to 'boost morale' within the force. Error: A hilarious manufacturing mistake means some police officers will have the word 'POLICE' written upside down on their uniforms (pictured) Three tops in total were sent to the force but one member of staff decided to return the faulty garment. Chairman of the Hampshire Police Federation burst out laughing when he saw the uniform and posted a photograph of it online. John Apter said: 'I saw an officer wearing the uniform during a training day at the Hampshire Constabulary headquarters. 'I initially thought the uniform was inside out. I then spoke to an another officer who said he was given one which was exactly the same. 'It was an error by the manufacturing company but it is funny that some of the officers have to decided to wear them. 'It boosts morale within the force because it's funny to see. Three officers were given them and I heard one of them sent it back to the manufacturing firm. Who knows, they could be worth some money in the future.' Mr Apter said the officers will only wear the uniforms 'internally' and not when they are patrolling the area. He added: 'It makes people simile and I'm sure the uniforms will inject a bit of morale into the police force. Although it is an unfortunate error, hopefully people can see the funny side of it.' Embarrassing: Mr Apter said the officers will only wear the uniforms 'internally' and not when they are patrolling (pictured the right way round) the area .

Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has laid into referee Lee Mason after he failed to award Newcastle a penalty during their 2-0 defeat at Liverpool on Monday night. An incident in the 38th minute of the game, saw Ayoze Perez felled by a reckless challenge from Dejan Lovren. Although replays clearly showed the defender scything Perez down and not making contact with the ball, Mason did not point to the spot. Neville said during his analysis, 'It was an absolute stonewall penalty. The gasp in the ground, Lovren just kicks him right in the knee.' Ayoze Perez drives into the Liverpool box on 38 minutes only to be brought down by Dejan Lovren . Lovren makes a rash challenge and does not make any contact with the ball, sending the Spaniard tumbling . Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville could not believe that a spot kick was not awarded to the Magpies at Anfield . He added that Mason's perfect positioning should have led him to make the correct call. 'I think we said it last week, in the game, we always look at the ref's position. But you look at Lee Mason's view of it and he's got no excuse, he's staring right at it there, he's so close, within five or six yards. It's just a poor decision.' Before Lovren's foul, Raheem Sterling had put Liverpool in front with a curling effort just inside the box on 9 minutes; and Joe Allen wrapped up the three points for the home side with a rifled shot into the roof of the net late on following a failed clearance from Mike Williamson. The misery was only to be compounded for Newcastle, as stand-in captain Moussa Sissoko saw red for a second bookable offence. With Newcastle trailing 1-0, a penalty could have offered them a way back into the game, but nothing was given .

Stephanie Scott's devastated father has opened up about the grief her family is feeling as they struggle to come to terms with their daughter's brutal murder, which took place just days before her much-anticipated wedding. The adored school teacher from Leeton went missing on Easter Sunday and her body was found in nearby bushland the following Friday. Ms Scott's grieving father Robert explained that it is especially painful that Stephanie's life has been taken away when she had so much to look forward to. She was also a person who gave so much joy to others. 'Stephanie's aim was to get everyone feeling like it was their wedding as much as hers,' Mr Scott told The Daily Telegraph, describing Ms Scott's bubbly and thoughtful personality.

At last, some good news for Sunderland and Newcastle United — apparently form goes out of the window in a derby. Now isn’t that a relief? On Sunday afternoon, both sets of supporters will have the chance to suspend the depressing reality of their current plight. Over the course of their last six matches — 12 in total — the pair have amassed a not-so-mighty six points. During that same period — 18 hours of football, no less — they have scored four times between them, conceding 22 along the way. It is little wonder they have billed this one ‘The Desperation Derby’. Perhaps ‘The Donkey Derby’ would be more apt. John Carver issues instructions to his players during training on Friday ahead of Sunday's derby . Carver put his Newcastle players through their paces during the session at St James' Park . Dick Advocaat wraps up warm as he prepares his Sunderland side for Sunday's crunch clash . Sunderland are the country’s most out-of-form side and, unless new boss Dick Advocaat can reverse what is a sorry slide towards the bottom three, they will be back in the Championship come August. Newcastle won’t be, but therein lies the problem. It is job done on Tyneside. The Magpie mandate is survival and little more, a dispiriting acceptance of mediocrity which has permeated a squad in desperate need of overhaul, both in terms of quality and character. The same can be said of a Sunderland side who have won just four times all season. If it wasn’t for the history and intensity of the rivalry, this would have all the appeal of The Dog and Duck versus The Red Lion. Perhaps that is being disrespectful to pub teams, however. But, amid all of the gloom, the stakes remain sky high, albeit for different reasons. For Sunderland, it is about survival. Forget their bid for a record-making five straight victories over the enemy. Forget, even, bragging rights. Carver is fighting to secure his future as Newcastle manager beyond the end of this season . Advocaat was all smiles as he attempts to steer Sunderland clear of Premier League relegation . With trips to Arsenal and Chelsea to sign off their dismal season, this is one of six winnable matches which will determine their fate. Advocaat knows as much and hinted on Friday that he is working on a six-game rescue plan. Their last six have yielded just two points and one goal. Should that sad sequence persist then it will end in a future-defining demotion to the second tier. For never has relegation come at such a cost given the fulsome flow of the Premier League cash-cow. For Newcastle head coach John Carver, it’s about making a point. The outcome of this game will shape his future also. Lose, and the chances of him landing the job beyond the end of the season will take a serious hit. ‘I have stopped thinking about getting the job on a permanent basis, I really have, because if I keep worrying about everything that’s going on, if

Summary: Newcastle travel to the Stadium of Light to face Sunderland on Sunday . Clash being billed as 'The Desperation Derby' with both sides struggling .

The country’s biggest network of foodbanks charges volunteers £1,500 to hand out free food in its name, it emerged yesterday. The Trussell Trust asks for the ‘donation’ from churches and community groups which open new foodbanks. The money, volunteers are told, is needed to pay for the Trust’s staff, branding materials, PR advice and relationships with supermarkets such as Tesco. Setting up costs: Trussell Trust asks for a 'donation' of £1,500 from churches and community groups . But the hefty bill has come under scrutiny following controversy over the false Trussell Trust claim that it fed more than a million hungry people last year. In fact, the one million figure was the number of food parcels handed out – so did not account for repeat visitors. One critic accused the network – which charges foodbanks £360 for each subsequent year after the initial fee – of taking money that could be used to pay for food. The Trust, which has links with the Church of England, hands out parcels containing three days’ worth of donated food to people referred by doctors, social workers and other agencies. The number of Trussell Trust foodbanks has risen eight-fold in just five years, to 445. Its most recent accounts show an annual income of nearly £3.4million. A pitch to prospective volunteers says: ‘We’ll provide you with all the tools, training and know-how that you need to start a foodbank so that people in crisis in your town don’t have to go hungry.’ They are told they will be given a website, publicity materials and ‘opportunities to talk to the Press’ among other benefits. The Trust says: ‘Foodbanks are asked to make a £1,500 donation towards these costs.’ PR and branding: Critics accuse the charity of taking money which could be better spent on food . But the charge has sparked criticism from other charities and community groups. One foodbank volunteer leader said he saw ‘no benefit paying £1,500 upfront to TT which could be used to buy food’. Last night, Trust chief executive David McAuley said: ‘The cost to the Trussell Trust of helping to start a new foodbank is higher than the contribution that the foodbank makes.’ He said last year the Trust gave its volunteers ‘cash grants and in-kind goods which totalled double the amount that foodbanks contributed financially’.

Summary: Trussell Trust asks for 'donation' from churches and community groups . It then charges £360 per year from each group running Trust food banks . Critics accuse the charity of taking money which could be spent on food . But Trust said ‘cash grants and in-kind goods' were double the donation .


Ralph Lauren's daughter Dylan and her husband Paul Arrouet have welcomed fraternal twins.

During the interview, which took place shortly before the birth of their twins, Dylan noted that she had already come up with a few adorable nicknames picked out for her son and daughter. 'I’ve been calling them the Twinkies, the M&M’s and the Doublemint Twins,’ she said. 'Good things come in twos.' She also revealed that the twins’ nursery was decorated and ready for their arrival well in advance in case her babies were born before their due date - which they were.

Arrogant: Violent robber Lynch posing for a jail selfie . Staring cockily at the camera, violent robber Craig 'Lazie' Lynch shows off his toned physique in a series of audacious self-portraits taken in his prison cell – from where he is said to be earning a fortune by running illegal websites. Lynch is serving nine years for a series of violent gang robberies, including one in which a knife was held to a terrified father's throat in front of his family. Use of computers, social media and mobile phones is strictly forbidden behind bars. Yet, as this picture and his posts show, Lynch has been free to run a sneering Facebook site from his cell in Bedford Prison. And, according to a former friend, he is using it to make huge profits from websites selling legal highs. The friend, now disgusted with Lynch and the 'lax attitude' of the prison authorities, told The Mail on Sunday the bearded criminal has become a 'self-made millionaire earning so much tax-free money behind bars he has invested in properties in Cyprus, Ireland and Spain and a fleet of luxury cars'. Lynch, 34, is in constant communication with more than 400 'friends', poking fun at British justice and bragging about using an iPhone and a Samsung Galaxy. He updates social media feeds with 'selfies' and photos of takeaway meals – and reports how he has had a tattoo, drinks vodka, plays online games and has a personal gym trainer. 'He should be in prison as a punishment, not living it up,' said the former friend. 'He's arrogant, resourceful, and owns properties overseas and UK-based businesses. 'Incredibly, this is all through crime, run on Facebook while in prison.' This is not the first time Lynch – who has appeared in court 22 times for 66 offences – has used Facebook to taunt the authorities. In 2009 he used the site to goad police after vanishing from Hollesley Bay Prison, Suffolk, where he was serving a seven-year sentence for aggravated burglary. He was recaptured in January 2010. He was later released but in August last year he was found guilty of robbery and sent back to prison – and once again began posting from his cell on Facebook. Claiming he studies 'Advanced criminology at University of Crime', he even uses Facebook to advertise for people to work for him. In one post he offers: '£250 an hour, three hours a week. Only the sinister to apply. Easy work. No crime.' Contraband items are often smuggled into jails or thrown over the walls. The former friend also believes Lynch was behind an attempt in March to fly contraband goods into the prison using a drone, which was discovered in netting above the perimeter wall – as reported in The Mail on Sunday. A parcel attached to the drone contained drugs, a phone, a blade and screwdrivers. The source said: 'Lynch posted a cutting from a newspaper report about the find and wrote, 'No comment…' It was his way of bragging he was behind it. 'He is making a fortune

The draw for the Champions League has pitted Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich against his former club Barcelona, while handing Italian champions a daunting task against holders Real Madrid. With sub-plots aplenty, and quality assured, the final four of European's premier competition will all feel they have a real chance of adding to their European titles. Sportsmail's reporters look at each side's reasons for optimism, and caution, ahead of the semi-finals... BAYERN MUNICH by Chris Wheeler . Reasons they can win the Champions League… . Bayern have an excellent Champions League pedigree, with a coach in Pep Guardiola who won this competition twice at Barcelona and a squad that has retained its best players since beating Borussia Dortmund in the final at Wembley two years ago. So do Barca and Real Madrid but, unlike their main rivals, Munich can focus largely on Europe thanks to a 12-point lead over Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga and the minor inconvenience of a German Cup semi-final against Dortmund. Guardiola can also expect to call on key players like Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger who did not appear in either of the quarter-final legs against FC Porto. Pepe Guardiola issues instructions to his players during a supremely impressive performance against Porto . Guardiola must now work out how to prevent his side's old vulnerabilities returning against Barcelona . Reasons they can’t… . Usually so dominant, there is a peculiar vulnerability about Bayern under Guardiola. It was painfully evident in their 5-0 aggregate defeat by Real Madrid in the semi-finals a year ago, and again in the 3-1 loss to Porto earlier this month before they turned it around in the second leg in stunning fashion. Munich cannot afford to be off their game against Barca. No-one knows Guardiola’s game-plan better than his old club. He will have to overcome them - and then possibly Real - if he wants to win the Champions League again. Bayern were brilliant in Munich, but a repeat of their Porto horror-show could see them dumped out . REAL MADRID by Pete Jenson . Reasons they can win the Champions League… . There’s a sense that the worst has past. They did not want Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals having failed to beat them already six times this season. Then when Jan Oblak worked his miracles in the first leg and the injuries and suspensions mounted up in the second, the task looked even tougher but they came through. Carlo Ancelotti was vindicated for pitching Javier Hernandez into his forward line and moving Sergio Ramos into midfield. With the coach in a strong position and the squad behind him they can do it. Real Madrid will feel like they have got over their biggest hurdle after their late win over Atletico Madrid . Reasons they can’t… . No one player is more important to Real Madrid than Luka Modric. They can cope without Bale if Ronaldo is playing and they can cope without Ronaldo if Bale is playing — they won the Copa del Rey last year that way. But Bale’s

Summary: Bayern Munich dmonstrated their quality in second-leg demolition of Porto . But Pep Guardiola's side still have major vulnerabilities, as first leg showed . Real Madrid may struggle without Luka Modric, despite easier draw . Juventus' defence is reason for hope, but Andrea Pirlo is past his peak . Barcelona's front three is formidable, but they lack required depth .
