There was no glorious Team Sky send-off for Sir Bradley Wiggins despite a terrific effort from the Briton in the Paris-Roubaix. The 2012 Tour de France winner is quitting the team in order to ride for his own squad, 'Wiggins', before a return to the track ahead of the Rio Olympics, and wanted to sign off from what he called a 'golden era' with a win in one of the sport's most prestigious races. But it was not to be as Germany's John Degenkolb produced the perfect race to cross the line first at the end of a gruelling 151-mile trek which took in 27 tortuous cobbled spells. Bradley Wiggins sits on the floor after failing to win his final race with Team Sky in the Parsi-Roubaix . Wiggins left everything on the road as he attempted to bow out in glorious fashion, but was unable to hold on . German John Degenkolb celebrates as he crosses the line, winning the race ahead of Wiggins in 18th . Wiggins did his best, breaking away with 32 kilometres left to shake things up at the head of the peloton, while he also made a late push, but in the end he had to settle for a place down the line in 18th as Degenkolb took the glory. In the process he became the first rider to take first in the Milan San Remo and Paris-Roubaix in the same year since Sean Kelly back in 1986. One of the sport's classic races, the one-day slog did not fail to disappoint, but the drama almost got out of hand at one stage as some of the riders had a lucky escape when a train sped through the tracks they were due to cross. Some of the field slipped across despite the safety barriers being down, while others were held at the gate before being able to resume. Degenkolb celebrates his win alongside Zdenek Stybar (left) and Greg van Avermaet (right) Wiggins led a breakaway with 32 kilometres remaining, but was unable to maintain his lead to win . After that interlude the drama returned to the saddle, although Sky's in-form Geraint Thomas was unable to play a part. Amongst the early front-runners he was unseated when he ran into a curb, while he also suffered injuries on the way which eventually reduced him to a participant. For Wiggins it was always going to be a case of leaving nothing on the road ahead of his next phase, which is to include a ride at the Tour de Yorkshire. He first made himself known in the race when he moved to the head of the peloton with 45 kilometres to go and, with 32 remaining he ditched the pack in a bid to reel in the leaders. The peloton drew him back but his intent was clear and he held pace with them until Greg van Avermaet and Yves Lampaert went for it on their own. Luke Rowe (right) finished ahead of Wiggins in the end, coming in eighth, Team Sky's best performance . The pair

Summary: Bradley Wiggins finished 18th in the Paris-Roubaix . Wiggins is set to leave Team Sky to ride in his own squad called 'Wiggins' Race almost had dramatic incident when riders narrowly missed a train .


A former Fortune 500 executive from New Hampshire will serve between nine and 20 years in prison for causing a highway crash that killed a Vermont couple and their unborn baby. Robert Dellinger, 54, was sentenced on Thursday to two four-and-a-half to ten year sentences that are to be served consecutively in the December 2013 deaths of Amanda Murphy, 24, who was 8 months pregnant, and her fiance, 29-year-old Jason Timmons. Prosecution claimed he deliberately drove his vehicle head-on into the couple's car because he was depressed and wanted to kill himself. During the second day of the sentence hearing, he was given credit for the 15 months he has spent in jail since the crash, which means he could be released in less than eight years.

Relatives of Murphy and Timmons tore into Dellinger on Wednesday during the first of the two-day sentencing hearing. 'I have been robbed and violated. I will never see or touch my child ever again,' Timmons' mother, Debbie Blanchard, said as she fought back tears. 'How could you be so heartless? You still have a family; you have taken mine from me', reports the Valley News of West Lebanon.

I ask for your forgiveness, and I pray for your healing.' Dellinger, of Sunapee, New Hampshire, was a senior vice president and chief financial officer at PPG Industries Inc. when he left in 2011 because of health problems. He also held high-level posts at Sprint Corp.,

John Helm was commentating on Bradford City’s game against Lincoln City when the fire broke out and still struggles to listen to his description of that fatal day. Here he gives his insight into what caused the blaze. It was a day I have often tried to forget, but it was the one I must always remember. Approaching the 30th anniversary of the Bradford City fire, it was inevitable I would be asked to recall the horrific images from a match I was commentating on for Yorkshire Television. What I did not expect was for someone to suggest the fire may not have been an accident, as Martin Fletcher has done with his book Fifty-Six, the Story of the Bradford Fire. The tragic fire at Bradford City's Valley Parade stadium claimed 56 victims and injured 265 on May 11, 1985 . Martin lost three generations of his family and has a right to speak his mind — any bitterness would be understandable — but from everything I have been told there isn’t a jot of evidence to suggest the blaze was caused deliberately. On the contrary, I remember the coroner telling me it was obvious how the fire had started. Detective Inspector Raymond Falconer actually identified a man who had dropped a lit cigarette that went down a hole in the stand and started the fire. This corroborates what I was told at the time by the coroner. He said it was believed the fire had been started by a man, visiting this country from Australia, but his name was never revealed. Without making allegations against the club’s chairman at the time Stafford Heginbotham, there is inference by implication in the book — with reference to a series of fires at factories owned by the now deceased Heginbotham. As members of his own family were seated in the stand that day, and as it was due to be demolished anyway 48 hours later, it is unfathomable to think there could have been an act of arson. I find it abhorrent that Stafford Heginbotham’s family are being subjected to this unseemly inference at a time when people are still grieving and paying their respects three decades on from the most horrendous day of their lives. There isn’t a shred of evidence to suggest anything other than a terrible human tragedy. It should also never be forgotten that Heginbotham twice saved Bradford City from extinction. As son James said to me: ‘He put that club above everything else, including family and business.’ A memorial at Valley Parade pays tribute those who died in the devastating blaze almost 30 years ago . We all have our memories of a day that still sends a shudder up my spine. I cannot bear to watch the footage. If I hear my voice describing the tragedy as it unfolded I have to leave the room. Many of the 54 Bradford and two Lincoln fans who lost their lives, choked to death with inhalation of fumes. The smell was of acrid tar. As a Bradfordian myself I knew many

US aviation authorities have launched an investigation to find out whether a plane dumped toilet paper and plastic objects all over a neighbourhood in a Pennsylvania town. Several properties were littered with debris that appeared to fall out of the sky over the town of West Pittston in Luzerne County on Monday morning. Residents believe the rubbish came from the lavatory holding tank of a plane flying overhead, and have complained to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Paula Viccica believes the debris that landed on her property was expelled from a plane flying overhead . The bulk of the debris landed in the well-kept front garden and trees at the home of Paula Viccica. She told the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Times Leader that she saw pieces of white paper fluttering down from the sky for several minutes. She told the newspaper that local airport officials identified four planes flying overhead around the time she made the discovery. While no human waste was discovered, her 13-year-old daughter, Tori, said there was an odour to the debris after it landed in the garden. The homeowner complained to aviation authorities and wants assurance that it does not pose a danger . Paula told the Times Leader: ‘Beyond aesthetics, I’m concerned with safety. I want our property to be cleaned up and assurance that it does not pose a danger to anyone.’ Other residents in the neighbourhood, about 115 miles north of Philadelphia, were surprised to learn about the discovery. Resident Michael Reiher told Newswatch 16: ‘That’s nuts. I mean, a plane drops stuff out of the sky and onto a yard? The FAA said lavatory waste is contained in a holding tank that can only be opened from the outside . ‘That’s crazy. I have never seen something like that before.’ On its website, the FAA said it investigates all reports, but pointed out that it is ‘very rare for anything to fall from an aircraft’. It said lavatory waste is contained in a holding tank until a plane lands, and the apparatus to access the tank is located on the exterior of the plane. The FAA said that it’s ‘physically impossible’ for a pilot to dump a tank while in flight, as it is opened with an exterior lever.

Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey has revealed he will have no problem shaking John Terry’s hand in light of the racist comments the former England captain directed at former Rs defender Anton Ferdinand four years ago. Terry, who will line up against Ramsey’s side, was banned for four games and fined £220,000 for the remarks made in October 2011 during Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat at Loftus Road. But Ramsey, the Premier League’s only black manager, thinks the issue has been dealt with. ‘Ultimately, John Terry is a player of Chelsea. I am a manager of QPR. As a man, as a person, I would shake his hand,’ Ramsey said. ‘I don’t know what his feelings are towards me.

It’s not something we want to highlight in football. It happened and it’s being dealt with. We have to move on. And hopefully everyone has learned something from it.’ Ramsey revealed that Rio Ferdinand, who labelled Terry an idiot for the abuse aimed at his brother, won’t be fit in time for a reunion with the Chelsea skipper this weekend. But the 52-year-old suspects his player’s one-time England colleague will be on the receiving end of a hostile welcome from the home fans on his return the scene of the unsavoury incident. 'Rio has unfortunately got an injury, he’s had a knock, and it’s recurring, he keeps trying to train,' Ramsey continued. 'He will train this morning. He’s something we miss immensely. We miss his leadership qualities on the pitch. Unfortunately, he won't be involved in the game. ‘Fans are fans, aren’t they? (Terry’s return) is a subject that brings up a lot of different emotions. So it would be odd to think that there isn’t going to be an extra feeling towards that situation.’ QPR defender Anton Ferdinand avoids shaking hands with Terry before a league match in September 2012 .

While at the scene an unidentified gunman shot Brown and a 15 year old dead .

Some of us don't like to hit the bar before midday, but when your drink is poured by a robot bartender you make an exception - even when mine jerks suddenly and I fear a malfunction.

A man charged with first-degree murder in the killing of three Muslim college students in Durham, North Carolina, can face a death penalty trial, a judge ruled on Monday. Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson Jr. said prosecutors had two aggravating factors and that Craig Stephen Hicks is 'death penalty qualified.' Hicks is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the February 10 killings of 23-year-old Deah Shaddy Barakat; his wife, 21-year-old Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha; and her sister, 19-year-old Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha. Scroll down for video . A superior court judge in North Carolina ruled on Monday that Craig Hicks is 'death penalty qualified' after he was charged with first-degree murder in the killing of three Muslim college students . Prosecutors said Hicks confessed and was arrested with the murder weapon. Ballistics matched the handgun to shell casings recovered at the apartment and there was gunshot residue on his hands and one of the victim's blood was on his pants, prosecutors said. Police say Hicks, 46, appears to have been motivated by a long-running dispute over parking spaces at the Chapel Hill condominium complex where he lived in the same building as Barakat and his wife. The victims' families are adamant that they were targeted because they were Muslims and have pushed for hate-crime charges. The FBI is conducting what it has called a 'parallel preliminary inquiry' to the homicide investigation to determine whether any federal laws were violated, including hate crime statutes. Search warrants filed by Chapel Hill police said Barakat was shot in the head near the entrance to his condo. The two women were found in or near the kitchen. Murdered: Deah Shaddy Barakat, a dental student at the University of North Carolina; (left) his wife, 21-year-old Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha (center) and her sister, 19-year-old Rezan (right) were gunned down on February 10 . Eight spent shell casings were found at the crime scene, investigators said. Earlier search warrants listed a dozen firearms recovered from the condo unit Hicks shared with his wife, in addition to the handgun he had with him when he turned himself in after the shootings. Hicks, who was unemployed and studying to become a paralegal, posted online that he was an atheist and a staunch advocate of the Second Amendment right to bear arms. Neighbors described him as an angry man who had frequent confrontations over parking or loud music, sometimes with a gun holstered at his hip. His social media posts often discussed firearms, including a photo posted of a .38-caliber revolver. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Wayne Rooney wants to put a smile back on the faces of Manchester United fans by claiming victory in Sunday's derby against City at Old Trafford. Rooney has enjoyed a good record against Manchester City since he joined United in 2004. The 29-year-old is the leading United scorer in derby history with 11 goals, the most famous of which came in 2011 when he scored an acrobatic late winner in a 2-1 victory for United at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney knows Manchester United will be playing for 'pride' against rivals Manchester City . Rooney celebrates scoring during United's 3-1 Premier League victory against Aston Villa . He has had to get used to being on the losing side in recent years, though. United have lost their last four meetings against their biggest rivals, but Rooney is determined to put an end to that sequence this weekend. 'You play for Man United, you want to win these derby games,' the United captain told MUTV. 'We want to give United fans something to smile about when they go to work on Monday morning, we want them to be the ones to be able to give out the banter to Manchester City fans at work. Sergio Aguero (right) scored the winning goal as City beat United 1-0 last November . United boss Louis van Gaal will be hoping his side can earn a four-point gap over City . 'I think it's a very important game for Manchester United and Manchester City... for the fans and, for me, it's a massive game of pride.' As well as pride, Rooney knows victory would put United four points clear of City, who dropped to fourth in the table following a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday. Rooney scored a stunning volley in last week's 3-1 win over Aston Villa and is certain to start against City on Sunday. Louis van Gaal has the option of welcoming back Robin van Persie after he returned to training following an ankle injury. But the United boss is more likely to stick with a front three of Rooney, Juan Mata and Ashley Young, who have served him so well in Van Persie's absence.

Bayern Munich will be without versatile left-back David Alaba for the closing stages of the season after he was ruled out for around seven weeks with a torn knee ligament. Alaba, out for three months earlier this season after a partial ligament tear in his right knee, was injured while playing for Austria in their 1-1 draw against Bosnia on Tuesday. 'I am bitterly disappointed,' the 22-year-old told the club's website. 'But I have a big aim and that is to be there at the season finale.'

Out there in the desert, the mirage continues to shimmer for Amir Khan. The identity of the challenge becomes blurred in the haze. First it looks like Floyd Mayweather. Now he glimpses Manny Pacquiao. And in which oasis in the sand might he finally touch gloves with one of the two best boxers on earth? The initial lure has been Mayweather in Las Vegas, Nevada. Now the siren call is Pacquiao in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. For two years Khan has been so close to fighting Mayweather that he could smell the resin and hear the roar of the crowd. Yet each time he reaches out, the tantalising illusion fades and slips away like so many fantasies along the Vegas Strip. Now the image of Pacquiao dances before him and there is reason to believe that a tale which might have been told by Scheherazade could become reality one starlit Arabian night. After waiting and waiting for Floyd Mayweather, Amir Khan could be set to face Manny Pacquiao . A fight with Pacquiao, preparing to face Floyd Mayweather on May 2, is on the cards for Abu Dhabi . The handsome young prince of British boxing will pay a flying visit to Vegas on May 2, there to watch the PacMan and the Money Man dispute the richest fight of all time. Win or lose, Pacquiao could await Khan come winter. Sportsmail's Jeff Powell with Amir Khan . Bob Arum, the PacMan’s vintage promoter, has to hand a treasure trove of an offer for a fight in Abu Dhabi this November or December. Khan, the stand-by for Pacquiao had Mayweather refused the Fight of the Century, is Arum’s first choice for that extravaganza in the Middle East. Once Pacquiao’s sparring partner, now Khan says: ‘I want this fight. I would love to box Manny. We’ve been looking at an event in Dubai and Abu Dhabi is only a short drive away. It’s a dream of mine to fight in that part of the world.’ As a hero of the Muslim world, Khan would be a huge attraction there. He now has initials which are the Pakistan equivalent of a CBE behind his name. His father and mother have just returned from Islamabad where, on their son’s behalf, they received from President Mamnoon Hussain the PAPID - the President’ s Award for Pride In Performance. Arum is aware of that box office potential but also recognises the boxing qualities of the ‘nice young man’ from Bolton: ‘Amir has great speed. Maybe the only guy as fast as Manny. And his recent performances have been impressive. This would be an outstanding fight.’ Assuming that Khan wins his interim bout with Chris Algieri in New York next month, all that would appear to stand between him and his long-awaited mega-fight is the outside chance of a re-match between Pacquiao and Mayweather. Promoter Bob Arum (left), with Pacquiao and Roach after the 2009 win over Miguel Cotto, rates Khan highly . Floyd Jnr seems to have no great appetite for a second edition of May

Summary: Amir Khan could be set to face Manny Pacquiao in Abu Dhabi, UAE . Khan's hopes of taking on Floyd Mayweather Jr in Las Vegas have faded . PacMan's promoter Bob Arum has a mega offer for a UAE fight late in 2015 . Khan is a hero of the Muslim world and his lure in the Middle East is clear . The Brit will be ringside when the Money Man fights the PacMan on May 2 . Khan must first win interim bout with Chris Algieri in New York on May 29 .


They were young men from stable families who believed they were stuck in dead end jobs and looked on with jealousy at the flashy lifestyles of others who had girls, money and fast cars at their fingertips. What Andrew Chan, then aged 21, and Myuran Sukumaran, 24, came to have in common was the belief that smuggling drugs would provide them with a short cut to the life of ease and glamour and - their biggest mistake - that they could get away with it. Thirteen years since their fateful first meeting, after all their legal appeals and pleas for clemency have been rejected, the ringleaders of the infamous Bali Nine, who were caught trying to smuggle more than eight kilograms of heroin out of Indonesia, are now dead. Scroll down for video . Andrew Chan, pictured aged 21, and Myuran Sukumaran, 24, pictured during their first trial in October of 2005, were both attracted to drug smuggling by the promised riches, after being disillusioned by their jobs . Thirteen years since their fateful first meeting, after all their legal appeals and pleas for clemency have been rejected, the ringleaders of the infamous Bali Nine and their tragic tale will shortly come to an end . Dubbed the masterminds behind the $4 million drug plot from the very beginning, the death penalty has never left the table for Chan and Sukumaran since they were first convicted in 2005 following a tip off from Australian federal police to Indonesian officials. But a glance at their working-class backgrounds would never have led anyone to predict their dismal fate. Chan, the youngest of four children and the son of Chinese immigrants, once described himself as the black sheep of his family. He worked as a supervisor for the catering company Eurest, where he first met Renae Lawrence, Martin Stephens and Matthew Norman, who he would later recruit into the drug smuggling roles that landed them in various Indonesian prisons. Sukumaran, a university drop-out and the eldest of three, still lived with his parents while working in a mail room. The Bali Nine trials began in October 2005 at Denpasar district court: Top row (from L-R) Myuran Sukumaran, Andrew Chan and Martin Eric Stephens, 2nd row (from L-R) Chen Si Yi, Tach Duc Thanh Nguyen and Matthew Norman, and 3rd row (from L-R) Scott Rush, Michael Czugaj and Renae Lawrence . Both men, who first met at a party in 2002 despite attending the same Sydney high school, had one thing in common; they were disillusioned by their jobs and had been won over by the riches and lifestyle that selling drugs promised. 'I don't think I was really going anywhere in life. I don't think, you know, I was achieving too much, even though I had a stable job and all… I was a drug user,' Chan told Dateline in a 2010 interview in which Sukumaran also admitted: 'I didn't see myself working in the mail room for the next 50 years of my life'. He continued: 'I thought "No, I can't do this", then

Summary: Andrew Chan is the youngest of four children and the son of Chinese immigrants who worked as a supervisor for a catering company . Myuran Sukumaran, a university drop-out and the eldest of three, lived with his parents while working in a mail room . Both men revealed that flashy lifestyles attracted them to drug smuggling . They were arrested in 2005 for organising eight kilos of heroin to be smuggled out of Indonesia, and sentenced to death five months later . In nearly ten years on death row, Chan found God and become a Christian pastor; Sukumaran became an artist .


The parents of a newborn baby girl have spoken of their heartbreak after she was born without any eyes. Mother-of-three Danielle Davis, 24, refused a termination when a routine scan showed her baby had a cyst on the brain. But when Daisy was born, Ms Davis and her partner Andrew Smith, 31, were told she had the rare disorder Anophthalmia, meaning she had no eyes. The condition is incurable, and so while Daisy can be fitted with glass eyes as she gets older, she will never be able to see. Danielle Davis, 24, has told of her heartbreak as her daughter Daisy, now eight weeks old, was born without any eyes . Daisy suffers from Anopthalmia, a rare condition which means 'lack of eyes'. Daisy will never be able to see, but some children with the disease have prosthetic eyes fitted for cosmetic reasons . Ms Davis refused a termination when a scan revealed a brain cyst, and says she 'has no regrets'. Daisy is now at home enjoying time with her mother Danielle, father Andrew, 31, and siblings Logan, six, and Tyler, four . Ms Davis, a care worker from Cwmbran, South Wales, said: 'It was a shock - we had never heard of it before and neither had any of our friends or family. 'People didn't really know what to say when we told them. 'But she is our gorgeous baby and we have no regrets about turning down a termination. 'We want to give Daisy as normal a life as possible and give her the same opportunities as other children.' Anophthalmia is a rare disease in which a baby is born with no eyes. It develops during pregnancy, and affects around one in 10,000 births in the UK. There is sadly no cure. Ms Davis said: 'The cyst showed up on the 21-week scan and naturally, we were worried about it. Anophthalmia means an absence of the eye. A child may be born with one, or both eyes, missing from the eye socket. The rare disorder develops during pregnancy and can be associated with other birth defects. The condition may be caused by genetic mutations and abnormal chromosomes. Researchers also believe that environmental factors, such as exposure to X-rays, chemicals, drugs, pesticides, toxins, radiation, or viruses, increase the risk of anophthalmia, but research is not conclusive. Unfortunately, there is no treatment that will restore vision in children affected by Anophthalmia. Children will need to undergo repeated hospital visits and many have prosthetic eyes to ensure that the bone and soft tissue around the eye socket grows properly and to improve appearance. Source: The Micro and Anopthalmic Children's Society . 'But none of the doctors said our baby could be born blind. 'Everyone has been really supportive and I can't thank the doctors and midwives enough for all of their help.' Daisy, now eight weeks old, is settling in at home with her siblings Logan, six, and Tyler, four. She will be admitted to the Great Ormond Street Hospital later this month for an operation to fit glass eyes. They

The majority of people taking antidepressants may not actually have depression, a new study claims. Researchers discovered more than two-thirds (69 per cent) of people taking antidepressants did not meet the criteria for major depressive disorder, which is also known as clinical depression. Antidepressants are also prescribed for other psychiatric disorders. But the researchers found 38 per cent of those taking the drugs did not meet the criteria for obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social phobia or generalised anxiety disorder either. Scroll down for video . More than two thirds of people taking antidepressants did not meet the criteria for clinical depression . The U.S. investigators looked at those taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), the most commonly prescribed type of anti-depressant. SSRIs are usually the first choice medication for depression and other psychiatric conditions because they generally have fewer side effects than most other types of antidepressant. Writing in the report, published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, the researchers concluded: ‘Many individuals prescribed antidepressants may not have met the criteria for mental disorders. ‘Our data indicates that antidepressants are commonly used in the absence of clear evidence-based indications.’ Commenting on the study, Dr Howard Forman, medical director of the Addiction Consultation Service at Montefiore Medical Center, said clinical depression is distinct from temporary feelings of sadness. He told Medical Daily: 'We all experience periods of stress, periods of sadness, and periods of self-doubt. 'These don’t make us mentally ill, they define us as human.' In the U.S., official guidelines say clinical depression should be diagnosed if a person has five or more depressive symptoms over a two week period, most of the day, nearly every day. The symptoms include a depressed mood; a loss of interested or pleasure in activities; weight loss, weight gain or changes in appetite; insomnia or increased desire to sleep.

Prescriptions for anti-depressants have more than trebled since 1998 in the world’s richest countries, a study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development found. The research noted a particular rise in in the use of SSRIs like Prozac and Seroxat. The OECD figures showed Iceland to have the highest prescribing rate, at 106 doses a day for every 1,000 inhabitants in 2011, up from 71 a decade earlier. Behind Iceland is Australia, then Canada, Denmark, Sweden and Portugal. The lowest levels were seen in Chile

All but one of 10 former Atlanta public school educators convicted in a widespread conspiracy to inflate student scores on standardized tests were sentenced to jail time on Tuesday, as the judge called the cheating scandal 'the sickest thing that's ever happened in this town.' Fulton County Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter had delayed sentencing by a day and encouraged all to negotiate deals with prosecutors. But only two agreed to deals. In both those cases, Baxter followed the state's recommendations: He gave a former teacher a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew at home for one year and a former testing coordinator six months of weekends spent in jail. They'll also serve five years on probation. Scroll down for video . Fulton County Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter describes how the three former SRT directors were at the top of the chain during sentencing on Tuesday in Atlanta. He called the cheating scandal 'the sickest thing that's ever happened in this town' Defense attorney Angela Johnson holds her hand on her client, former Atlanta public school teacher Pamela Cleveland. She was the only one of the accused to avoid jail after she took a plea deal and was sentenced to 5 years, with 1 year of home confinement and curfew . Despite their lawyers' pleas for probation and community service, the remaining eight received harsher sentences, ranging from one to seven years in jail. They are expected to appeal and will be free on bond while the appeals are pending. A state investigation found that as far back as 2005, educators from the 50,000-student Atlanta school system fed answers to students or erased and changed answers on tests after they were turned in. Evidence of cheating was found in 44 schools with nearly 180 educators involved, and teachers who tried to report it were threatened with retaliation. In 2013, 35 educators were indicted on charges including racketeering, making false statements and theft. Many pleaded guilty before the trial, and some testified at the months-long trial. The jury acquitted one of the 12 former educators who went to trial and convicted the other 11 of racketeering. 'This was very, very remarkable, to have the judge sort of give the defendants a second chance,' said University of Georgia law professor emeritus Ron Carlson. 'The thing that maybe was a little surprising was the reticence of the defendants to step forward and do that.' Former testing coordinator Donald Bullock was one of only two accused to took a plea deal. He was sentenced to 5 years probation, 6 months of weekends in jail, a $5000 fine and 1500 hours of community service . Former Atlanta public school teacher Angela Williamson was sentenced to two years in prison, three years probation, 1,500 hours of community service and a $5,000 fine . Bob Rubin, who represented former elementary school principal Dana Evans, said the decision to turn down the deal wasn't hard for his client. 'She couldn't say something that wasn't true,' he said, referring to the insistence by the prosecution and the judge that the

A single mom and her three kids who 'lost everything but their lives' in the East Village apartment explosion last week are getting an incredible outpouring of support from their fellow New Yorkers. Diane McLean says she's been overwhelmed by the generosity of her friends, neighbors and strangers after her four-bedroom rent-stabilized apartment at 45 East Seventh Street went up in flames. Dr McLean, a 58-year-old child psychiatrist in the South Bronx, says she and daughter Rose, 8, and twins James and Annabelle, 5, had nothing more than the clothes on their backs after the disaster. Diane McLean, 58, and her three children lost 'everything but their lives' when fire destroyed their apartment last week . Rose, 8, (left) and twins James and Annabelle, 5, lost everything except the clothes on their backs in the fire that destroyed their apartment building . The three kids have had the parents of classmates reach out and offer places to stay and clothing. A GoFundMe campaign has raised nearly $90,000 . 'My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones. We lost everything but our lives,' she told PIX-TV. Two people died in the explosion, Moises Ismael Locon Yac, 26, and 23-year-old Nicholas Figueroa. Nineteen people were injured, some of them critically, and dozens were left homeless. That's when New Yorkers stepped up. A GoFundMe account has raised more than $87,000 for the family. Local businesses, like the bagel joint that Dr McLean frequents, have even chipped in. They're currently staying with friends, though the families of several of her children's classmates have also opened up their homes for them to stay, if needed, People magazine reports. Other families have donated clothes and other essentials to help get the family back on their feet. Hole in the ground: Three buildings on a crowded block in the East Village were utterly destroyed in the explosion and subsequent fire last week . The fire injured 19 and killed two people. Investigators believe an illegally tapped gas line may have been the cause of the blaze . Dr McLean didn't have renter's insurance, so she won't be reimbursed for any of her losses from the fire. 'We might not have a home, but we are far from homeless. It's an extremely comforting feeling,' she told People. Perhaps the biggest loss, though, was the apartment itself. Dr McLean paid just $1,500 a month for the 1,100-square-foot, four bedroom apartment because it was rent stabilized. She had lived there for 37 years. Realtors say that Dr McLean was paying thousands less than market rate for the popular neighborhood. Rent stabilized apartments are hard to find below 96th Street in Manhattan these days. Four bedroom apartments with rent that low are even harder to come by.

Summary: Diane McLean's four-bedroom rent-stabilized apartment was destroyed in the explosion last week . She paid $1,500 a month of East Village home - a deal she may never find again . GoFundMe has raised $87,000 for her family .


Thousands of children who fail maths and English tests in primary school will be forced by the Tories to re-sit them to ensure they can read, write and add up. David Cameron will today announce that all children who do not pass their tests aged 11 will have to take them again in the first year of secondary school, when they are 12. Around 100,000 pupils a year do not pass the English and maths tests before they leave primary school. The Prime Minister said these children will be given extra help and support to ensure they do not fall behind in secondary school. Thousands of children who fail maths and English tests in primary school will be forced by the Tories to re-sit them to ensure they can read, write and add up (file picture) ‘The Conservatives are the union for parents,’ he said. ‘We represent every hardworking mother and father who wants to see their child succeed in a great school. ‘These past five years have been about getting changes in place which stretch our children – and the results have been extraordinary. The next five will be about finishing the job. More discipline, more rigour, zero-tolerance of failure and mediocrity. ‘There’s hardly anything more important to our long-term economic plan for Britain. ‘There is no job that doesn’t require English and maths and this is about making sure every child gets the best start in life and that our country can compete in the world.’ From 2016, if the Tories win the election, any pupil who does not achieve a good pass in English and maths tests taken at age 11, will be required to take a resit test in the first year of secondary school. These resit tests will be designed to make sure that pupils who leave primary school without being able to read, write and add up properly have caught up by age 12. Statistics from the Department for Education show that around 100,000 young people - one in five - fail to reach the expected standard in English and Maths at the age of 11. Of these children, only 7 per cent go on to get five good GCSEs including English and maths – compared to 72 per cent of their classmates who do make the grade. David Cameron will today announce that all children who do not pass their tests aged 11 will have to take them again in the first year of secondary school, when they are 12 . Secondary schools currently receive a £500 ‘catch-up premium’ for any child who arrives without having met the expected standard by the time they leave primary school. The Conservatives hope the new resit tests will ensure that secondary schools are using the money effectively and getting young people to where they need to be to succeed throughout rest of their school career. Nicky Morgan, the Education Secretary, said: ‘We know that the biggest predictor of success at GCSE is whether young people have mastered the basics at age 11. ‘That means if we fail to

Summary: David Cameron to announce that children will have to retake the three Rs . Children who do not pass tests aged 11 will sit them again the next year . About 100,000 pupils a year do not pass primary school English and maths . These children will be given extra help to stop them falling behind, PM says .

Those surprised at Yaya Toure's apparent desire to talk himself in to a transfer from Manchester City this week should not be. The Ivorian's CV tells the story of a player who has always placed pragmatism above sentiment when it comes to his choice of clubs. Toure, for example, left home as a teenager to play in the Belgian second division. Following that came some formative years playing for Metalurh Donetsk in eastern Ukraine. History also tells us that Toure, now almost 32, never stays in one place too long. Equally, though, Toure's rather clumsy statements of recent times should not be allowed to detract from his legacy at City and indeed in the Barclays Premier League. It looks likely Yaya Toure may leave Manchester City this summer but his legacy should be a positive one . Toure has struggled to impose himself upon games for City in the manner seen in previous seasons . Toure's time at City is defined as a success, bringing two Premier League titles to the Etihad . It looks extremely likely that he will leave England this summer. Toure has started to play and sound like an unhappy footballer, the social alliance he has formed with the Etihad's enfant terrible Samir Nasri hardly helping. If and when he does go, though, it is for his extraordinary contribution on the field – and not the unfortunate noise that has started to surround him - for which he should be remembered. At his club, Toure has been fundamental to City's transition from wealthy hopefuls to twice champions. Back in 2010, he arrived as a statement signing - a £24m fee and £1m a month – for a club determined to accelerate its own learning curve. It worked and, on a wider scale, he has simply been one of the most watchable footballers our league has ever seen in its modern form. I once asked a member of City's coaching staff if there was anybody quicker at the club than Micah Richards. He replied: 'Yes, Yaya. Not over the first few yards but when he gets going he is unstoppable. He's like a truck heading downhill without the brakes.' Premier League defenders would testify to that but there was always more to him. Toure possesses an intelligent football brain, the vision required of all top class central players and a sureness of touch. He has also had a demeanour that has allowed him the confidence to play just about anywhere on the field. This, remember, is a man who played as a central defender in a Champions League final against Manchester United. The first time he had ever played that position, he faced off with Cristiano Ronaldo as Barcelona won in Rome in 2009. 'We had a good team so it was not that hard for me that night,' Toure told this newspaper in December 2011. Toure (right) demonstrated his versatily by shackling Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2009 Champions League final . Midfield player Toure (left) signed for City for a fee of £24million from Barcelona in 2010 .

Summary: Yaya Toure arrived at Manchester City in 2010 from Barcelona . He has led City to two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and a League Cup . If he departs City in the summer, the club will find it hard to replace him .


Usain Bolt says Tyson Gay should have been given a longer ban for drugs cheating, and branded the decision to shorten his punishment 'the stupidest thing I've ever heard'. Gay had his suspension reduced after he agreed to co-operate with authorities, and is now set to compete against Bolt after returning to the sport. But Bolt said he felt 'let down' by the American sprinter, and is not looking forward to competing against a man he used to respect. Usain Bolt says Tyson Gay's reduced ban is 'the stupidest thing I've ever heard' after his doping suspension . Bolt said he used to respect Gay as a competitor, but is no longer looking forward to racing against him . 1. Usain Bolt - Berlin 2009 - 9.58 . 2. Usain Bolt - London 2012 - 9.63 . 3=. Usain Bolt - Beijing 2008 - 9.69 . 3=. Tyson Gay - Berlin 2009 - 9.69 . 3=. Yohan Blake - Lausanne 2012 - 9.69 . 'I was really upset about that,' the world's fastest man said in an interview with Runners World, extracts of which have been published by The Times. 'He got a year just because he talked to the authorities about how it was done and who helped him. 'That sends the wrong message: 'If you do it and get caught, just tell us all you know and we'll lower your ban. 'It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The message should be: "If you cheat you're going to be kicked out of the sport."' Bolt stressed that he had regarded Gay, the joint-second fastest man of all time behind the Jamaican, as a rival who kept him on his toes, but now says he will feel no joy competing against the disgraced sprinter. Bolt is the fastest man of all time, but Gay is close behind him and is now returning to the sport . 'It really bothers me,' he added. 'I'm not worried about him beating me, I think it's because I respected him so much over the years. He was a competitor, kept me on my toes and he pushed me to always do my best. 'Then to find out that he was on drugs — it's a bit like I think parents must feel when they have a kid who does something bad and lets them down. I feel like he let me down and he let the sport down.'

Summary: Tyson Gay had his ban reduced after helping authorities . Usain Bolt says he is not looking forward to competing against Gay . Bolt says he feels 'let down' by someone he used to respect . Gay is the joint-second fastest man of all time, behind Bolt .


Microsoft hopes to lure more people to use its new Windows 10 software by making it easy to use many of the same apps they're already using on Apple or Android phones. The move marks a radical shift in strategy for the world's biggest software company, which still dominates the personal computer market but has failed to get any real traction on tablets and phones, partly because of a lack of apps. The company said at its annual Build conference on Wednesday that it will release new programming tools for software developers to rapidly adapt their Apple and Android apps to run on devices that use the new Windows 10 operating system coming late this year. Scroll down for video . Microsoft hopes to lure more people to use its new Windows 10 software by making it easy to use many of the same apps they're already using on Apple or Android phones. Pictured: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella delivers his keynote address at Microsoft Build in San Francisco, . New operating system will run on the 'broadest types of devices ever'. Various app stores merged into one platform, called the One Store. Return of the Start Menu, which had been removed from Windows 8. Users can create multiple desktops to keep things organised. Microsoft also announced a new name for the web browser that it plans to offer with Windows 10. The company promises its new 'Edge' browser is faster and more useful than the Internet Explorer that Microsoft has offered for the last 20 years. The tech giant is making its case for Windows 10 before an army of software developers who may be crucial allies in its campaign to build enthusiasm among consumers for the next version of Microsoft's flagship operating system, coming later this year. 'Our goal is to make Windows 10 the most attractive development platform ever,' Microsoft executive Terry Myerson told an audience of several thousand programmers and app developers. While Microsoft has already previewed some aspects of the new Windows, a parade of top executives is using the Build conference to demonstrate more software features and app-building tools, with an emphasis on mobile devices as well as PCs. Ultimately, they're hoping to win over people who have turned to smartphones and tablets that run on rival operating systems from Google and Apple. During the three-day conference, Microsoft is also expected to show off new Windows smartphones or other devices and reveal more details about such tech initiatives as the company's new Spartan web browser; its Siri-like digital assistant known as Cortana; and the HoloLens, a futuristic 'augmented reality' headset that projects three-dimensional images in a wearer's field of vision. But perhaps most importantly, this year's conference is an opportunity for Microsoft to persuade an audience of more than 5,000 techies and independent programmers that it's worth their time to create new apps and programs for Windows 10. Experts say Microsoft needs a rich variety of apps if it wants to appeal to people who are increasingly using mobile gadgets instead of personal computers. A woman wearing

A fund-raising drive to help keep one of the country's oldest war veterans in his own home after a London council refused to pay for his ongoing care has reached £10,000 in just four days. Brent Council said it was no longer able to afford to pay for a live-in carer to look after Second World War veteran Robert Clark at his home in Burnt Oak, North London. This is despite the fact he had already used £50,000 of his life savings paying for his care. War veteran Robert Clark, pictured, who has had a fund-raising appeal set up in his name so he can remain in his own home with a live-in carer . A donations page set up by the forces charity Help for Heroes has already raised £10,000 to help Mr Clark remain in his own home . The council told Mr Clark he would have to be moved into a local care home with his son Mike describing the move as like asking his father to go back into a 'prisoner of war camp'. The pensioner's plight prompted armed forces charity Help for Heroes to launch a fund-raising campaign to allow Mr Clark to stay in his home, which he has lived in for more than 50 years and pay towards the cost of a carer. And in just four days the total amount of donations has reached £10,000, despite setting an initial target of £5,000 just four days ago. The amount will pay for around four to five months care for Mr Clark in his own home. David Fraser from the charity confirmed that they are working with Mr Clark to discuss what to do with the cash and added they have set a new fund-raising target of £15,000. He told MailOnline: 'I think when you look at what he has done and what he has been through, he deserves an awful lot of respect. 'He deserves to be able to stay in his own home.' Writing home: Veteran Robert Clark, pictured in 1940, when he was serving with Durham Light Infantry . Mr Clark is one of Britain's oldest surviving prisoners of war - and one of the few British soldiers to survive Hitler's 1,000-mile death march. He was a gunner in the Durham Light Infantry when he was captured by the Nazis in the North African city of Tobruk in June 1942. He spent the rest of the war in prison camps in Poland, before being forced to join the 'death match' in 1945. Now a great-great grandfather, he is one of Britain's oldest surviving PoWs and is registered blind, deaf in one ear, is dependent on a wheelchair and has suffered from severe anxiety. For the past two years he has used his savings to pay towards the £960-a-week cost of a live-in carer, while Brent Council contributed £350 per week. But as his money runs out, the council is refusing to increase its funding for Mr Clark. An online petition has also been set up calling for the council to increase its funding,

Summary: Brent Council told veteran Robert Clark they were unable to afford his care . Added he would have to move from his own home and into a care home . Mr Clark had already used most of his life savings paying for a live-in carer . An appeal has raised £10,000 in four days to help him stay in his own home .

A pair of turkey-sized ‘egg thief lizards’ dubbed Romeo and Juliet were found lying next to each other in a 75-million-year-old rock in the mid-90s, but it has taken until now for experts to determine the sex of the 'lovers'. Now, researchers believe they have come up with a way to tell fossils of small feathered male dinosaurs from those of females. They say that the key differences between the sexes lie in bones near the base of the tail. A pair of turkey-sized ‘egg thief lizards’ dubbed Romeo and Juliet were found lying next to each other in a 75-million-year-old rock (pictured) in the mid-90s. Palaeontologists led by Scott Persons (pictured) believe they can tell males and females apart from certain tail bones . Paleontologistsat the University of Alberta examined a pair of fossils found in Mongolia, which were first described in 2001. One is a complete skeleton, while the other is missing the middle and end of its tail. ‘Determining a dinosaur’s gender is really hard,’ said graduate student Scott Persons, who is lead author of the study, published in Scientific Reports. ‘Because soft anatomy seldom fossilises, a dinosaur fossil usually provides no direct evidence of whether it was a male or a female.’ So instead, the researchers looked at indirect evidence of sexually dimorphic display structures, which are evident today in birds. Examples include the fans of peacocks, the tall crests of roosters or the long tail feathers of some birds of paradise, which are used to attract and court mates. They are almost always much larger in males who do the courting, than in females, who do the choosing. They suggest that male oviraptors had broader and longer chevron bones in their tails so they could shake their feather-tipped tail to woo potential mates (illustrated), much like modern peacocks . The team theorised that like birds, small feathered dinosaurs such as oviraptors used long feathers on their tails to attract mates, rather than for flying. ‘My analysis of the tail skeletons supported this theory, because the skeletons showed adaptations for both high tail flexibility and enlarged tail musculature - both traits that would have helped an oviraptor to flaunt its tail fan in a mating dance,’ Mr Persons said. After studying the fossils carefully, his team found signs of sexual dimorphism in the length and shape of blade-like bones called chevrons, which point downwards from the vertebrae near the base of the tail. A number of chevrons in one of the fossils were longer and had broader tips than those in the other specimen, indicating the creature is male, the experts said. They suggested that males had larger chevrons to anchor the muscles that controlled their flexible, feather-tipped tails. The researchers suspect that male oviraptorosaurs shook their tail feathers in intricate displays to woo potential mates, akin the behaviour of modern-day peacocks. They suspect females had shorter chevrons to make laying eggs easier. Scientists have recently shown that peacocks shake their tails to make a noise that is too low for us to hear. Their mating ritual may

Summary: 'Egg thief lizards' preserved in rock for 75 million years were studied . University of Alberta experts said differences in size and shape of tail bones enable male and female small feathered dinosaurs to be sexed . Males have long 'chevron' bones so they can wiggle their feathered tails seductively to woo mates, while females have shorter bones in their tails .


The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have moved back to Kensington Palace to prepare for the imminent birth of their new baby, MailOnline can reveal today. The couple, whose second child is due on Saturday, returned to their London base, just a few minutes’ drive from the private Lindo Wing at St Mary’s, Paddington, on Sunday night after spending the weekend at Kate’s family home in Berkshire, where they took a trip to their local farm park. The news came as Kensington Palace revealed William will enjoy what amounts to six weeks’ paternity leave around the arrival of the new little prince or princess. Scroll down for video . Reunited: Prince William, pictured with his wife last month, has finished his air ambulance pilot training early so he is guaranteed to be with the Duchess of Cambridge when she goes into labour . Change: Until today the second in line to the throne, who is a trainee pilot with the East Anglia Air Ambulance in Norfolk, had been expected to still be working around the time his wife is expecting their new baby. A royal spokesman announced that the second in line to the throne had completed his latest stage of his training as a pilot with East Anglia Air Ambulance (EAAA) ‘earlier than expected’ - and would not be required to embark on the final stage until June 1. The future king had already announced that he planned to take two weeks’ statutory paternity leave after the birth. With his enforced absence from work happily coinciding with the birth of his second child, William will now take the next month and a half off as unpaid leave, aides said, with immediate effect. Good timing? Prince Harry, pictured in Australia, also announced today that he will be back in the UK to watch the London Marathon on Sunday, meaning he may also get to meet his future niece or nephew . The palace also announced that Prince Harry, who is currently on deployment with the Australian Army, will briefly return to the UK this weekend to present the winners’ medals at Sunday’s London Marathon and, if all goes to plan, meet his new niece or nephew. Harry – who is soon to drop down a place in the line of succession to fifth – is already travelling over to attend the Gallipoli Campaign centenary commemorations with his father, Prince Charles, on Thursday. The prince, who is patron of the London Marathon Charitable Trust, will return to Australia on Monday to continue his placement. The Mail understands that in recent days the Duchess, who carried out her last public engagement in March, has been taking her mind off the impending birth by spending a few days with her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, at their sprawling Georgian mansion in Bucklebury, Berkshire. On Sunday she and Carole took her eldest son, Prince George, for a visit to nearby Bucklebury Farm Park where youngsters can meet a variety of animals from lambs to wild boar and enjoy a large outdoor playground. The little prince is

Summary: Prince William had been expected to work as pilot until the end of April . Duchess of Cambridge is based in London and baby is due this Saturday . William using unpaid leave and paternity leave to stay off work until June 1 . Prince Harry is back for marathon on Sunday so could see niece or nephew .


Criticised: Rona Fairhead will stand down as director of HSBC while continuing role at BBC . The chairman of the BBC Trust will quit her role as a director at HSBC, it was reported last night. Rona Fairhead was last month accused of being either ‘incredibly naive or totally incompetent’ by Margaret Hodge, chairman of the Commons public accounts committee, over her handling of a tax evasion scandal at the bank’s Swiss division. Now, the 53-year-old has told shareholders she will stay on for ‘a further one-year period’ before leaving the bank’s board entirely, according to The Times. She announced her departure in a letter to shareholders dated on March 20. It marks a change in position for the bank, which said in its annual report that Mrs Fairhead would again stand for re-election. She had been on the board since 2004. Last night, HSBC insisted that ‘no decision has been taken at this time’. In a bruising encounter, Labour MP Mrs Hodge had told the BBC chief: ‘You should think about resigning. If not, the Government should sack you.’ Mrs Fairhead chaired HSBC’s audit committee and then its risk committee while its Swiss clients are said to have dodged tax. The bank was subsequently fined £1.2 billion for breaching American money-laundering laws. Last year, Mrs Fairhead earned more than £500,000 last year as chairwoman of HSBC’s American business. Her decision marks a change from February, when HSBC’s annual report said that despite having been on the board since 2004, Mrs Fairhead would again stand for re-election. She was appionted to her role as chairwoman of the BBC Trust in October last year for a five-year term. Mrs Fairhead suggested that ‘frontline’ staff should bear responsibility for breaching the bank’s policies, during her grilling by the public accounts committee. She said: ‘We were horrified when we discovered (what happened). I can assure you absolutely no evidence of tax evasion was received. I could only respond to evidence that I had and I could only deal with that.’ But Mrs Hodge responded that to ‘simply take the evidence and not question. . . would mean she is not fit for purpose’. Under fire: Margaret Hodge, chairman of the Commons public accounts committee (left), called on Fairhead to quit or be sacked from BBC role over her HSBC role . Her likely departure from HSBC comes as the bank is planning for a wider clearout of non-executives who have been on the board for a long period of time.

Summary: Criticised over 'incompetent' handling of bank's tax evasion scandal . Announced her departure in a letter to shareholders . Follows calls by MP Margaret Hodge for Fairhead to quit BBC role .


Incredible satellite images have shown a massive sandstorm almost as large as the United States billowing across the Arabian Peninsula. The sandstorm wrecked havoc across the area last week, causing traffic accidents, the cancellation of hundreds of flights and triggering breathing difficulties among residents. Images show the vast sandstorm sweeping its way across Saudi Arabia, Oman and the United Arab Emirates and reaching as far east as India and Pakistan over a period of seven days. Scroll down for video . On April 1, the sandstorm could be seen enveloping much of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates . The following day, it pushed further east to cause flight cancellations in Dubai . By April 4, it was beginning to stretch across the Arabia Sea towards Pakistan and India . A final image taken on April 7 shows much of it had dispersed across the sea while some remained over Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Oman . It began on April 1, when high winds whipped up the sandstorm in northern Saudi Arabia before it consolidated and began moving southeastward across the peninsula to eventually cover an area almost as large as the United States, Discover Magazine reported. Along the way it caused chaos across the area's major cities including Riyadh and Dubai, where some locations were reduced to zero visibility, streets turned a shade of orange and schools were forced shut. The Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies said: 'The blowing sand reduced surface visibility to near zero at some locations, disrupting ground transportation, air traffic, and also closing schools. 'Visibility was reduced to 0.1 mile for several hours at Dubai International Airport, which is one of the world’s busiest in terms of volume of flights.' More than 450 Saudi Arabian Airlines flights were cancelled between Wednesday and Friday - which equals 33 per cent of the carrier's 1,526 scheduled flights, the Saudi Gazette reported. On top of this, 678 flights were delayed and another 19 rerouted from airports in Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam. According to the BBC, strong winds aggravated the problem, causing a 'near complete lack of vision in daylight', the UAE National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology said. Despite sandstorms being a relatively common occurrence in that part of the world, they are not generally so big and rarely wreak so much havoc. In this instance, the storm also blew across Saudi Arabia's Empty Quarter - the world's second largest desert which reaches into Yemen and Oman. Many people took to social media to upload the images they had taken of the sandstorm and share their experiences. The sandstorm swept across much of the Arabian Peninsula, seen here with borders illustrated by the blue lines. Pictured is Saudi Arabia (top left), Yemen (bottom), Oman (right) and the United Arab Emirates (top right) It also billowed across the Empty Quarter - the world's second largest desert which is located in Saudi Arabia. Here it is pictured by satellite, revealing its distinct sand dune patterns .
