Tony’s wife will be at Sandown on Saturday along with Ian and his wife.’ Another famous Arsenal name expected at Sandown is Liam Brady, one of McCoy’s sporting heroes from his childhood. Wright was a player for Arsenal as a striker for seven years, from 1991 until 1998 . Iconic Arsenal striker Thierry Henry (centre) was asked to present the award but Sky did not allow it .

Gary Neville believes Louis van Gaal's greatest achievement as a football manager is the making of Jose Mourinho. Van Gaal and Mourinho come face-to-face on Saturday when the former's Manchester United travel to Premier League leaders Chelsea. The duo have been friends since they first worked together at Barcelona in 1997 where they enjoyed a successful relationship at the Camp Nou. Louis van Gaal's (right) greatest achievement in football is the making of Jose Mourinho, feels Gary Neville . Mourinho (left) and Van Gaal will come face to face again when Chelsea host Manchester United on Saturday . Mourinho (left) worked under Van Gaal as his assistant manager at Barcelona for three years in 1997 . With Mourinho as the Dutchman's assistant, they won the La Liga title twice in their first two years together in Catalonia. It was Van Gaal who entrusted and encouraged the Portuguese to go into management - with the 52-year-old having won titles in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain since as well as the Champions League twice. And in his column for the Telegraph, Neville says Van Gaal will be proud of his friend's achievements. 'A former Tory leader once said when asked what their greatest achievement was: "New Labour," the former United and England defender wrote. 'I can imagine Louis van Gaal, when answering the same question from a group of journalists, peering back from his desk and responding: "Mourinho".' Ahead of Saturday's clash at Stamford Bridge United have been dealt a quadruple injury blow with the news that Phil Jones, Michael Carrick, Daley Blind and Marcos Rojo will all be unavailable. Van Gaal though will be able to call on the services of the in-form Marouane Fellaini. The Belgian midfielder has scored twice in United's last four league games - including a header in their 4-2 derby win over rivals Manchester City on April 12. Marcos Rojo (right) is one of four United players who will miss their league trip to Chelsea due to injury . The Red Devils have in-form midfielder Maraoune Fellaini (left) available for the trip to Stamford Bridge . Fellaini (right) scored United's second goal in their 4-2 win over Manchester City on April 12 . And Neville believes Mourinho may try to nulify the threat of the big Belgian midfielder by selecting John Obi Mikel or Kurt Zouma in midfield. Neville added: 'As for Mourinho, will he blink and deploy John Obi Mikel or Kurt Zouma in midfield alongside Nemanja Matic to deal with Marouane Fellaini in that dangerous United left channel? 'If he does, how will his team get hold of the ball without the rhythm of Cesc Fabregas in that deeper role and feed an attack already hit by the loss of Diego Costa? I could see United having 60 to 65% of the ball if Mourinho does opt for this solution. 'As a tactic, this wouldn't ordinarily worry the Chelsea manager, but the idea of Van Gaal going to Stamford Bridge and not only winning, but also dominating the ball, would maybe open up the wounds of

Pair enjoyed a successful relationship together at Barcelona in the 1990s . Mourinho has since won trophies in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain .

For now, having her high school diploma has given Ms. Hunt plenty to be proud of. 'It says I've had a successful life,' she told WISC-TV Madison.

Walmart is coming under fire following a recent incident in Tuscon, Arizona where a thief was able to shoot of rounds from a weapon after stealing it from their store. Mario Valencia took a rifle from the super store on February 19 and was able to start firing it as soon as he left, something that should have been impossible due to the gun locks that are required on all weapons. This after he demanded bullets from a woman inside the store guarding the ammunition case, who did as instructed and then immediately notified authorities. Scroll down for video . Mario Valencia (above) took a rifle from a Walmart in Tuscon, Arizona on February 19 and was able to start firing it as soon as he left . The stolen weapon should have still been locked and police chasing the men were told he could not fire the loaded gun . Police were even told the gun was locked by employees at the store as they pursued Valencia, but just seconds later he began firing into the air according to CNN. He even pointed the weapon at an officer at one point. When the gun was later recovered, after Valencia was taken down by Officer Michael Rapiejko, it was discovered the wire was loose, and only wrapped through the gun's barrel and lock just once, not twice as is standard, allowing the weapon to be used as soon as it was taken. Walmart meanwhile claims the rifle had been properly locked, and that it may have been affected by the hard blow caused by the police car . He was later taken out by an officer who hit him with his vehicle . The gun was found to be locked with loose wire that was not wrapped enough when police recovered it from the scene . Video of the incident, which emerged last week, shows Rapiejko, 34, running into Valencia to take the man down after he began firing the weapom. A police officer in one of the patrol cars says: 'One round just went out. He's definitely loaded.' He then tells his colleague, Rapiejko, in the other vehicle: 'Stand off, the gun is loaded.' Valencia is facing several felony charges for his alleged crime spree . But apparently ignoring his advice, Rapiejko overtakes the officer's car, before speeding straight toward Valencia. Seconds later, his vehicle mounts the curb and smashes into the suspect's body. Valencia is sent flying into the air, while the car crashes through a concrete wall before coming to a halt amid debris. The other officer can be heard shouting in shock: 'Oh! Jesus Christ, man down.' Valencia was rushed to University of Arizona Medical Center in serious condition following the crash and was eventually booked into jail two days later. Sergeant Chris Warren said at the time that Valencia 'was a dangerous felon who'd been on a crime spree throughout the morning'. This crime spree allegedly involved theft at a convenience store at, vandalism and burglary at the Tucson Baptist Temple, a home invasion and theft of

Walmart claims the wire could have been knocked loose because of the impact from the car .

Arsenal defender Calum Chambers has enjoyed a promising start to his career in North London, with his versatility proving a key asset in the Gunners backline and is adamant he will play a central part in their future success. During a fine debut season Chambers, who signed from Southampton last July for £16million, has established himself as a first team regular having already made 36 appearances for Arsenal. There was a point before Christmas when Wenger admitted to overplaying Chambers with only Santi Cazorla (45), Alexis Sanchez (44) and Per Mertesacker (40) having appeared more times for the Gunners this campaign. Arsenal defender Calum Chambers has enjoyed a fine first season with the North London club . Having signed last summer, Wenger told the 20-year-old he will utilise him at centre back, with World Cup winner Per Mertesacker returning late from the German triumph in Brazil: . ‘We went to Austria during pre-season and had a training session. The manager told me, “You’re going to be training as a centre-half here because you may have an opportunity to play there at the start of the season”,’ Chambers told the Sun. ‘So I trained at centre-half a few times and it went from there. I made my debut in the Community Shield at Wembley and started a lot of games, Premier League and Champions League in that position.’ Chambers (centre) celebrates as Arsenal continue a recent run of form to go second in the Premier League . Arsenal's defender has gone from strength to strength following £16million move from Southampton in 2014 . Chambers caught the eye during his start to life at the Emirates and was also deployed at right back and in a central holding midfield role. However Chambers is determined to see his future in central defence for club and country. ‘I don’t want to be known as a utility player who just slots in here, there and everywhere as I want my own secured position. But it’s good for me because it’s giving me more opportunities to get game time under my belt. ‘Long-term, I think I’ll end up as a central defender. It’s my favourite position.’ Chambers works hard in training (left) as the Gunners prepare to face Reading in the FA Cup semi-final . Calum Chambers enjoyed his recent England trip to the Czech Republic with the Under 21 side .

Summary: The 20-year-old signed for £16million from Southampton in July 2014 . Calum Chambers has made 36 appearances for Arsenal so far this season . Chambers sees his club and international future playing centre back . Arsenal face Reading in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday evening .


Ed Miliband was accused of 'offensive' behaviour 'touching on racism' by a Sikh community leader yesterday after banning journalists from a place of worship. The Labour leader visited the Gurdwara – a Sikh temple – during a campaign tour of the Midlands on Wednesday. But his team banned national media journalists from the event – despite the fact that Gurdwaras are traditionally open to all. Worshippers were also banned from using cameras and phones to take pictures of the Labour leader, who had donned a red head-covering to comply with Sikh customs. Scroll down for video . Behind closed doors: Ed Miliband, donning a red head-covering to comply with Sikh customs, in secret footage from the Gurdwara . During the visit, Mr Miliband would answer only a small number of questions from the Sikh press. But even one of the Sikh journalists was allegedly asked to leave Labour's battlebus after straying from a list of agreed questions. Davinder Singh, an adviser to the Sikh Federation who attended the visit, said the attitude of the Labour leader's team went against the ethos of his faith. He said the decision to shut people out of the temple contradicted the tradition that the doors to a Gurdwara are always open to all. And he suspected the Labour leader did not want to be widely pictured in a head-covering in case the pictures were embarrassing – something he said was 'offensive, even touching on racism'. He told the Daily Mail: 'The whole thing was very carefully stage managed. They said there will be no cameras whatsoever, they were telling people not to even use their phones to take any pictures inside – that is unheard of inside a Gurdwara. Some of the party officials were downright rude. 'My children, who are three and six, were ushered out of the way. The whole thing did not feel right. 'It was a missed opportunity on his part and it left some people feeling offended. You don't do that in a Gurdwara – usher people around.' The incident will increase concern about the 'controlling' nature of Labour's election campaign, in which the Press and members of the public are kept at arm's length from the party leader – a criticism also levelled at the Tories. Public visit: David Cameron at the Golden Temple in Amritsar . Mr Singh said he suspected Mr Miliband was trying to ingratiate himself with the Sikh community but was 'worried about the reaction of non-Sikhs' if he was seen in the headgear at the Leamington and Warwick Gurdwara. 'There's a feeling that they wanted publicity within the Sikh community,' he added. 'They wanted people to know he had ticked the box of visiting a Gurdwara – but that he didn't want the publicity to go any wider.' Mr Singh, whose organisation is urging politicians to sign up to a ten-point Sikh Manifesto, said it was disappointing that Mr Miliband had refused to pose for pictures or make a public statement about Labour's stance on Sikh issues. He added: 'Labour told the media it was

A woman is in a critical condition after falling 30 metres from the highest lookout in Blue Mountains when she slipped trying to retrieve her mobile phone. The 44-year-old, named by locals as Donna Christie, slipped and fell from Hassans Fall lookout at Lithgow on Tuesday afternoon, the ABC reports. She was bushwalking with a male friend and her two children, aged 12 and 13, when she dropped her phone at the lookout, which is almost 1,100 metres above sea level. The 44-year-old, named by locals as Donna Christie, slipped and fell from Hassans Fall lookout at Lithgow on Tuesday afternoon . She is believed to have suffered serious head, spinal and chest injuries when she plunged 30 metres. Her friend raised the alarm and it took two hours for police, paramedics and the Lithgow Volunteer Rescue Squad to rescue the woman. 'The paramedics were assisted by emergency services personnel to stabilise the then unconscious patient, lift her back up to the top of the cliff face, where an ambulance helicopter was then dispatched from Sydney,' an Ambulance spokesman said. She was bushwalking with a male friend and her two children, aged 12 and 13, when she dropped her phone at the lookout, which is almost 1,100 metres above sea level . She is believed to have suffered serious head, spinal and chest injuries when she plunged 30 metres . She was airlifted to Westmead Hospital in Sydney where she remains in a stable condition. 'It was one of those tragic accidents that could have been avoided,' Lithgow police inspector Chris Sammut said. 'In this case, it would appear that she's accidently dropped her phone and in trying to retrieve it, she's lost her footing and fallen.' Inspector Sammut said parts of the lookout didn't have fencing and walkers needed to be vigilant to avoid risks. 'We have to weigh up whether a mobile phone is worth a life and obviously the answer is 'no',' he said. 'The phone can be replaced.' She was airlifted to Westmead Hospital in Sydney where she remains in a stable condition .

San Antonio city officials have messed with the wrong Texas chef. Attorney-turned-cook and activist Joan Cheever has spent the past decade feeding the homeless from the back of her charity food truck, until earlier this month she was slapped with a $2,000 fine for her charitable efforts. Cheever founded The Chow Train non-profit organization in 2005, preparing hot meals in her licensed mobile kitchen and serving them at city parks out of her personal pickup, which she has been using as a delivery truck because it is more maneuverable. Punished for compassion: On April 7, San Antonio police officers issued a fine to local chef and activist Joan Cheever (right) for feeding the homeless at Maverick Park . Wrong truck: Cheever, the founder of The Chow Train non-profit food truck, was serving hot meals out of her personal pickup truck because it is more compact . No permit: Cheever's mobile kitchen is commercially licensed, but her personal vehicle is not . Hefty sum: Mrs Cheever was issued a citation and a $2,000 fine for failure to serve food out of a licensed food truck . Mixed messages: After writing out the citation, the officers allowed Cheever and her volunteers to continue distributing the meals . On April 7, Cheever and her band of volunteers were dishing out free food to those in need at Maverick Park on the outskirts of San Antonio when she was approached by four police officers on bicycles. Speaking to ABC News, Cheever said she asked the cops, ‘What's the problem?' and they replied, 'You.' After a brief exchange with the SAPD cops, Mrs Cheever was issued a citation and a $2,000 fine for failure to serve food out of a licensed food truck. After writing out the ticket, Cheever said the officers gave her the green light to continue distributing meals. San Antonio city officials stated that Cheever was cited for ‘failing to adhere to long-standing regulations that are in place to ensure public health and safety.’ City spokeswoman Di Galvan told ABC that mobile food establishment permits are not transferable from one vehicle to another. But the hefty fine has done nothing to deter the plucky Good Samaritan from carrying out her mission to provide much-needed sustenance to the city's poor. Her meals usually consist of a vegetable soup, a main course, such as meatball or coq au vin, and a dessert. Since her April 7 run-in with the law, the chef has offered meals on two separate occasions at the park, each time drawing larger than usual crowds of supporters. No letter of apology: Cheever received this official letter from the city summoning her to court June 23 . Cooking up kindness: Cheever is an attorney and a trained chef who started her Chow Train charity in 2005 . Good Samaritans: Cheever and her band of volunteers have served hundreds of thousands of hot meals to those in need in San Antonio and other areas . ‘I came back to the park the following Tuesday and was met with 100 people who had candles and

Cheever founded The Chow Train non-profit food truck in 2005 to feed the city's poor .

Telecom watchdogs are to stop a rip-off that allows mobile phone firms to charge customers to call supposedly free 0800 numbers. Currently mobile phone companies charge customers up to 20p a minute to dial what are free numbers from a landline phone. The net result is that millions of people dialling what should be free services run by the NHS, the government and company call centres end up paying hefty charges. Scroll down for video . End call: Charges of up to 20p a minute being charged by operators for free 0800 numbers will end from July 1 under proposals published by the telecoms watchdog, Ofcom, today . Alternatively, some who rely on mobile phones rather than landlines are put off accessing these services by the cost. The charges will end from July 1 under proposals published by the telecoms watchdog, Ofcom, today. The changes were fought by the mobile phone networks, which have been making tens of millions of pounds a year from customers calling the numbers. In 2013, the biggest mobile network, EE, even threatened to take legal action to block the move. At the time, the company, which is about to be taken over by BT in a deal worth £12.5billion, complained getting rid of charges for 0800 numbers was ‘ill thought out’ and would ‘crush an already struggling industry segment’. It argued the change could cost up to £57.5 million to implement and that mobile networks would simply put up other charges to make up for any lost income. Ernest Doku, telecoms expert at the price comparison service, uSwitch.com, said the end to mobile charges to call 0800 numbers was a ‘long-overdue victory for common-sense’. EE claims the plan is ill thought out and will make an already struggling industry suffer . A spokesman for the telecoms price comparison website, broadbandchoices.co.uk, welcomed moves to make the price of calls clearer to consumers. He said: ‘Making ‘0800’ numbers free from all telephones including mobile phones is excellent news since it’s rarely practical to redial from a landline to avoid charges for what are generally assumed to be ‘free phone’ numbers. ‘Greater cost transparency and simplicity of charging is badly needed in the landline and mobile phone sector. We regularly hear from consumers who are confronted with charges on their phone bill that they were unaware of.’ The changes are part of a wider shake-up in call charges to non-geographic numbers, which are described by Ofcom as the ‘biggest overhaul of phone calls in more than a decade’. They are part of a new regime imposing new rules covering the cost of calling the 084, 087 and 09 numbers used in TV show phone polls, by businesses, GP surgeries and government departments – as well as 118 directory enquiry numbers. At the moment, the cost of calling these numbers is mired in confusion with charges varying enormously depending on whether you are using a landline or a mobile phone. In future, organisations using these numbers will be required to advertise a single ‘service charge’ for dialling them. Separately, each phone

Summary: Operators are charging up to 20p a minute - even if 0800 numbers are free . Some are important services run by Government and NHS departments . Watchdog Ofcom published proposals to put an end to the rip-off in July .


A young man who has been stuck in the foster system since the day his mother gave birth to him behind bars has finally found a home. Davion Navar Henry Only, 16, became the face of adoption and an example of all the struggles faced by many teenagers in the system when in 2013 he stood up in a suit and told worshipers at Florida's St Mark Missionary Baptist Church; 'My name is Davion and I've been in foster care since I was born. I know God hasn't given up on me, so I'm not giving up either.' He then said; 'I'll take anyone. Old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don't care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be.' Most of all, Davion said he just wanted a family that would 'love him forever.' Millions of people around the country soon head about Davion's story, and the young boy was even interviewed by Barbara Walters on The View, which all eventually led to him being adopted by a minister in Ohio and his family. That is until Davion got into a fight with one of the other children, and the minister sent him back to Florida, and back to live in the foster care system. Scroll down for video . Davion Only has been adopted by his old case worker, Connie Bell Going (above) Davion (above) captured hearts around the nation in 2013 when he made a plea in front of church congregation for a family to 'love him forever' This after Davion (abobe with Going) was adopted by a minister in Ohio but sent back into the system a few months later when he fought with one of the minister's children . Throughout Davion's search for a family, and his years in the system, Connie Bell Going, had been by his side. In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times she revealed that after Davion returned, people kept asking her what it was that went wrong and caused him to be sent back after just three months. She said wanted to tell these people; 'That boy spent his whole life in the system, that's what went wrong.' Making matters worse, Davion and Miss Connie, as he calls her, did not speak when he came back to Florida. Davion had cut himself off from other people, playing video games as he quickly went through four different homes and four schools in less than year. Going says she had begun to call him numerous times, but always hung up the phone. Then, one night last July, Davion called up Miss Connie and asked her the question he had been asking since they first met when he was only a little boy. 'Do you remember what I asked you before?' he said. 'Well, how do you feel about adopting me now?' For the first time since he had asked, Going was finally able to give him the answer he wanted to hear. The 52-year-old had three children of her own, one adopted and two biological daughters,

In the next year he was shuttled between four different homes and four schools in Florida before calling his old caseworker, Connie Bell Going . Davion called and asked Miss Connie if she would adopt him last July . Going agreed, and in February they signed court papers to officially make Davion her son, which should take effect April 22 . 'I guess I always thought of you as my mom,' Davion said to Going last December .


Greece has denied it will fail to pay a multi-million pound loan following reports it has drawn up plans to introduce parallel drachma currency to pay domestic bills. The country is due to repay a £330million loan to the International Monetary Fund on Thursday but there were concerns the heavily indebted nation would default on the payment. Deputy finance minister Dimitris Mardas said that Greece will in fact make the payment on time. Greece has denied it will miss a repayment of £330million to the International Monetary Fund after reports it had drawn up plans to introduce a parallel drachma currency to pay its bills . He said: 'We strive to be able to pay our obligations on time. We are ready to pay on April 9.' Sources close to the ruling Syriza party claimed the government was prioritising paying wages and pensions over any loans due, according to the Telegraph. It reported that the nation no longer has the funds to repay the debt unless the eurozone agrees to pay the next portion of its interim bail-out deal in time. A senior official told the newspaper: 'We are a Left-wing government. If we have to choose between a default to the IMF or a default to our own people, it is a no-brainer. 'We may have to go into a silent arrears process with the IMF. This will cause a furore in the markets and means that the clock will start to tick much faster.' German magazine Der Spiegel quoted . a finance ministry general secretary, Nikos Theocharakis, as . saying Greece would probably not pay next week's IMF tranche, . prompting a further denial from the Greek finance ministry. Theocharakis said Greece would be 'close to the end' on . April 9 and called the technical teams from its creditors . 'completely useless,' according to an extract of the article due . to be published on Saturday. 'Mr. Theocharakis never characterised the technical teams of . the institutions with the phrase attributed to him,' the . ministry said in a statement. 'On the contrary ... he referred . to them as saying they include 'top-notch people with impressive . skills.'' Deputy finance minister Dimitris Mardas (pictured) said that Greece will in fact make the payment on time . Germany's Spiegel Online quoted Belgian Finance Minister . Johan Van Overtveldt as saying that Greece postponing the . repayment due on April 9 was 'out of the question', otherwise a . Greek exit from the eurozone could no longer be ruled out.

Nearly half of the British public believe the Duchess of Cornwall should become Queen Consort when the Prince of Wales accedes to the throne. A new poll by YouGov ahead of Charles and Camilla's 10th wedding anniversary reveals that 49 per cent think Camilla should take the traditional title of the wife of a reigning king, while 35 per cent believe she should be given a lesser title out of respect to Diana, Princess of Wales and 16 per cent were undecided. When the Prince and Camilla became engaged in February 2005, only 7 per cent of people polled by YouGov thought Camilla should one day be Queen. Scroll down for video . Almost half of all Britons believe Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, right, should become Queen when Prince Charles accedes to the throne although 35 per cent believe she should be rewarded with a lesser title . Half of those polled believe that Camilla, right, does a good job of carrying out her official duties . Aides have always insisted the Duchess does not want to be known as Queen and intends to be known as Princess Consort instead. But according to some legal experts, unless there is change in the law, Camilla will technically become Queen no matter what title she actually uses. Most people (42 per cent) said they had neither a positive or negative impression of Camilla, with 31 per cent saying they had a positive one and 23 per cent a negative one. But the survey of 1,830 people also showed that 44 per cent believed Camilla was well prepared to be the wife of the reigning monarch, 13 per cent thought she was badly prepared and the remainder had no opinion or did not know. Of those questioned, 50 per cent thought Camilla had carried out her duties as Duchess of Cornwall well - with 20 per cent saying she did this very well and 30 per cent fairly well. Only 6 per cent thought she had done badly in the role. Some 28 per cent had no opinion and 16 per cent did not know. Nicola Wildash, research executive at YouGov, suggested it was more a case of people becoming used to Camilla, rather than a large surge in popularity. 'The further we get from Diana's death, the less that will resonate in people's minds. As soon as the public see something for years and years, they become more neutralised to the issue,' she said. Prince Charles, left, and Camilla, right, are preparing to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary . Figures from YouGov in June last year showed 53 per cent thought Camilla should one day become Queen Consort, 32 per cent believed she should have a lesser title and 14 per cent did not know. But Ms Wildash said the slight decrease from 53 per cent to 49 per cent was not significant and part of a general small fluctuation. Almost two fifths (39 per cent) said they believed the Queen was happy with Camilla's performance as the Duchess of Cornwall, with only 9

Summary: Prince Charles and Camilla will celebrate their anniversary later this week . The couple were married in April 2005 after their engagement in February . In 2005, only seven per cent of people thought Camilla should be Queen . Almost half are in favour of Queen Camilla when Charles takes the throne .


A woman suffers from a rare medical condition that leaves her unable to recognise her own face in the mirror. Natalie Whitear, 35, struggles to pick her husband and children out of a crowd - and walks past lifelong friends in the street. The mother-of-two suffers from prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, which means she is able to recognise objects, but not faces. The condition is so severe that Mrs Whitear can't spot her own reflection or her children when picking them up from school. Natalie Whitear, 35, cannot recognise herself in the mirror as she suffers from prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness . The condition is so severe that Mrs Whitear can't recognise her husband Garrick, 39, or children Mia, eight (left) and Eva, three (right) Although she was born with the condition, she was only formally diagnosed around three years ago. Mrs Whitear, from Fareham, Hampshire, said: 'If you asked me to explain what someone looked like I wouldn't be able to do it. 'I tend to smile at everyone just in case I bump into someone I should recognise. 'I can describe the weight, height, and hair colour of my husband and children, but not their facial features in detail - I remember when my daughter was born I'd try to memorise her features but it was impossible. 'I love to paint but I've never been able to draw my husband's face, I always leave it blank. She continued: 'I was once in a restaurant and for the entire meal I thought the place was twice the size - it was only when I stood up that I realised I'd been sitting in front of a mirror - I had no idea because I didn't realise that all the faces were the same. 'I recognise people by the way that they walk, what they're wearing, or their voices.' Prosopagnosia is a neurological disorder characterised by the inability to recognise people's faces. Also known as 'face-blindness', the severity of the condition depends on the degree of impairment a person suffers. Some people with prosopagnosia may only struggle to recognise a familiar face, while others will be unable to discriminate between unknown faces, and in more severe cases sufferers cannot distinguish a face as being different from an object. Some sufferers are unable to recognise their own faces. The condition is not related to memory loss, impaired vision or learning disabilities. It is thought to be the result of abnormalities, damage, or impairment in the right fusiform gyrus - a fold in the brain that appears to coordinate facial perception and memory. Prosopagnosia can result from stroke, traumatic brain injury, or some neurodegenerative diseases. In some cases the condition is congenital, and present at birth. It appears to run in families, which makes it likely to be the result of a genetic mutation or deletion. Some degree of prosopagnosia is often found in children with autism and Asperger's Syndrome. Treatment of the condition focuses on helping sufferers develop compensatory strategies, including relying on voice recognition, clothing, or unique physical

Summary: Natalie Whitear, 35, suffers from prosopagnosia: facial blindness . Rare condition means she is unable to recognise faces, even her own . She confuses her daughters and walks past lifelong friends in the street . Has developed coping strategies like recognising people's hairstyle or walk .

Despite being fierce rivals, Apple and Samsung have a somewhat symbiotic relationship when it comes to manufacturing their handsets. Now it has been reported that the Korean tech giant will be the main supplier of the A9 chips in Apple's upcoming iPhone range. Although this isn't the first time Samsung has manufactured parts for iPhones, it signals that the frosty partnership between the two may be thawing. Samsung will reportedly be the main supplier of the A9 chips in Apple's upcoming iPhone range. Samsung has previously supplied Apple with various iPhone parts, but following legal disputes, Apple shifted away from its rival and signed a monopoly deal with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) in 2013 . Apple relies heavily on other firms to produce the various components it uses in its iPhones and iPads. And for years, Samsung was a dominant member of this group. It produced the flash and working memory in the iPhone 4, for example, and was a substantial Apple chip partner until 2013. However, following legal disputes, Apple shifted away from Samsung and signed a deal with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) to produce the A7 seen in the iPhone 5S. Samsung has announced better-than-expected profits for the first quarter of 2015. A rising demand for memory chips is said to be helping offset a slump in the firm's smartphone sales. During a call on Tuesday, the electronics giant estimated an operating profit of 5.9 trillion won ($5.4 billion/£3.6 million) between January and March. This beat analyst expectations and was up 11.5 per cent from the previous quarter. But this forecast was down 30.5 per cent from a year ago. It didn't cut Samsung off completely, though, and around 40 per cent of chips in the iPhone 6 are still made by the Korean giant or partners. But by handing the monopoly to TSMC, it directly affected Samsung's business. Reports of the A9 deal first appeared last year when a 'source familiar with the deal' told The Korea Times: 'Apple has designated Samsung as the primary supplier of its next chips powering iOS devices from 2016.' The deal is said to be worth 'billions of dollars.' From next year, this report continued Samsung will supply 80 per cent of Apple's supply of application processors, with TSMC supplying the remaining 20 per cent. Samsung then confirmed it was planning to mass produce its latest chips later this year. The Korean firm recently partnered with New York-based semiconductor experts GlobalFoundries. It was said to be this deal that appealed to Apple because it will help Samsung meet the demand for Apple's chips globally, and lets GlobalFoundries use Samsung's latest technology patents. As part of this deal, Bloomberg said Samsung will start making the A9 at its Giheung plant in South Korea, with additional orders going to Globalfoundries. Reports of the A9 deal first appeared last year when a 'source familiar with the deal' told The Korea Times that Apple had designated Samsung as the primary supplier of its next iOS chip in 2016. Samsung will supply 80% of Apple's supply of application

Summary: Reports claim Samsung will make the A9 chips for Apple's next iPhone . A7 and A8 were mostly made by Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing . Apple moved away from Samsung as a substantial chip partner in 2013 . Samsung has previously made flash and working memory for iPhones .

He arrived at a club that was already winning and he worked hard, learning from [Andrea] Pirlo, [Claudio] Marchisio and [Arturo] Vidal.' Asked if he recongises the quality Hazard and Pogba share in any other players, Lichtsteiner said: 'Players like this are not like fish in the sea, but Kingsley Coman has all the attributes to eventually be a very good striker.' Lichtsteiner was part of the Juventus team that won 1-0 in Turin last week against Monaco in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. Only Arturo Vidal's penalty separated the teams that Tuesday night, though Juventus just as importantly avoided conceding an away goal to their French visitors. Lichtsteiner is expected to line up against Monaco on Wednesday night in Monaco as they look to see out the tie and book their place in the semi-finals.

She was pulled into a car by Spell and his friend, strangled to death, and then buried 50 miles away in North Dakota . Defense attorneys had asked that Spell be placed into custody of state health officials for placement in an institution for the mentally disabled. They claimed he was 'easily confused and displays the intelligence of an 11-year-old'. They said Spell's mental problems made him unable to conform to the law, making him eligible for commitment to the Montana Department of Health and Human Services. In the days before Arnold's killing, Spell and Waters traveled to Sidney from Colorado, using crack cocaine throughout their journey, according to authorities and the men's previous testimony. The defendants came to the region looking for work in the booming Bakken oil patch. During their trip, Waters allegedly told Spell that using crack "brought the devil out in him" and began talking about kidnapping and killing a woman, according to an affidavit filed by prosecutors. Spell's attorneys alleged Waters threatened to kill Spell with a utility razor unless he went along with the kidnapping plan. After the pair spotted Arnold along a Sidney street, Spell tried to grab her, leading to a struggle in which Arnold was choked or otherwise asphyxiated, authorities said.

St. Louis Blues forward Ryan Reaves proved on Sunday that hockey players truly are some of the toughest men in sports. After being checked face-first into the glass by Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook, Reaves went to the bench and pulled out his own tooth. Reaves calmly digs around his mouth until he grabs the loose tooth, pulls it out of his mouth and hands it to his trainer. St. Louis forward Ryan Reaves (pictured) pulled out his own tooth after being checked into the glass by Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook . Reaves sat on the bench as he calmly pulled out the tooth. It eventually fell into his hand (pictured above) and he gave it to a team trainer . It is unknown as to what period the check occurred in or if Reaves returned to the ice, one tooth lighter. The St. Louis 2-1 win moved the team a point ahead of Nashville for the Central Division lead with just three games left in the season. Reaves isn't the only hockey player to make headlines for being tough in the last week, however. Prior to losing his tooth on Sunday, Reaves, pictured here April 3, appeared to have a full mouth of perfectly straight pearly whites, something that's a bit unusual in the hockey world . Reaves and the rest of the Blues beat the Blackhawks 2-1 on Sunday, moving the team a point ahead of Nashville to the top of the Central Division standings .

Finding the time to exercise when you've got heaps of housework - and laundry - piling up can be difficult, but this piece of gym kit means you've got no excuse not to work up a sweat. Chinese designers have developed an contraption called the Bike Washing Machine that contains a washing machine drum in its front wheel. When ridden, the pedalling motion causes the drum to rotate, churning your clothes inside like a traditional washer. Chinese designers have developed a washing machine so cyclists can clean clothes while exercising (above) A generator inside the bike also creates electricity which can be stored for future use. The designers, based at Dalian Nationalities University, do not say whether the bike will automatically fill and drain with water too. Instead, the detergent and water may need to be added and then drained before more water being added for a rinse cycle. They say, however, that the device could be a solution for those who want both a washing machine and an exercise bike but cannot find space for both. Alternatively it could also help shave a few pounds off your electricity bill by using pedal power to do the laundry. By changing the front wheel of the exercise bike into a washing machine drum it will spin as the user pedals . A generator attached to the pedals (shown above) also produces electricity which can be stored for later use . The invention could also find use in remote areas where people do not have access to reliable supplies of electricity. Students at the university are now building a prototype of the machine. The group submitted the design onto the website Tuvie,which allows designers to share their ideas. They said: 'Riding a bike is a popular exercise, washing laundry is something that you might do on daily basis or at least once a week, unless you keep buying new clothes and underwear, so why not combine them into a single useful equipment/appliance? The designers say the device is perfect for those struggling to find space for both a washing machine and an exercise bike . 'Bike Washing Machine combines a stationary bicycle and washing machine, you can exercise while at the same time simultaneously washing your clothes. 'When you ride this bike, the pedalling motion causes the drum of the washing machine to rotate, at the same time, the superfluous electricity is generated which can be used to power the display screen or stored for future use.' It is not the first time cycling and the weekly wash have been combined. In 2011 Richard Hewitt, a design student at Sheffield Hallam University, announced he had developed a similar device that washes and dries clothes using pedal power. His Spincycle machine could be attached to the back of a tricycle. Riding the bike for 10 minutes would wash the clothes before the water needed to be drained and refilled before another 10 minute cycle rinsed the clothes. If cycling and doing your washing at the same time does not appeal, then perhaps another device that

Summary: The Bike Washing Machine replaces the front wheel with a washing drum . It is being developed by designers at Dalian Nationalities University, China . It means cyclists can save electricity by washing clothes as they exercise .
