One New York-based teacher has found an incredibly fashionable and glamorous way to supplement his public school income, working as a model for some of the world’s top designers. Sam Pearce, 24, of Milton, Massachusetts, initially came to New York City to peruse a career in education, and soon after arriving in the Big Apple he landed a job teaching English to eighth graders in Brooklyn, New York. But just a few months after landing the job, the six-foot, green-eyed Brown University graduate was 'discovered' on the subway by another model, who promptly asked whether he could send Mr. Pearce’s picture to his own modeling agency in the hopes of getting him signed up. Model behavior: New York teacher Sam Pearce, 24, was discovered on the F train in New York City and now juggles his career as an eighth-grade English teacher with a side job modelling for top designers . 'I was taken aback and flattered, but also kind of incredulous,' he told Racked of the encounter, which took place on the F train. 'He was just like, "Hey, you're a model, right?" I said, "Noooo, I'm a teacher, dude."' Soon after, Mr. Pearce, who was at the time teaching a summer school course and standing to earn $45,530 in the coming school year, signed a modelling contract with RED NYC and started posing for designer lookbooks and walking in fashion shows in London and Milan under the name Sam Worthen, a pseudonym taken from his mother's maiden name. But the hunky instructor insists that he doesn't let his side job posing for Alexander McQueen, Diesel Black Gold, and DKNY interfere with his responsibility to his students. Classroom to catwalk: Mr. Pearce says his two jobs are similar in that they are both hectic and he needs to keep a straight face during each of them . Renaissance man: Besides teaching and modelling, Mr. Pearce also speaks French, Spanish, and Italian and composes his own music . 'My agents have been pretty great about understanding that teaching is my priority, and they've gotten me jobs that require me to miss little or no school,' he said. 'I did the Alexander McQueen show — that was my first real show — over a weekend. I flew out to London on Saturday evening, did the show, and then flew home immediately after; so I was in London for 12 hours.' He also managed to fit walking in New York Fashion Week this February into his teaching schedule, modelling in shows during New York City public schools' week-long winter break. In fact, Mr. Pearce managed to maintain the secret of his second identity until very recently, and even then, he admits he only revealed himself because he thought the publicity could benefit his kids. Male model: Mr. Pearce knows there's more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking; he also places a lot of importance on getting his English students to read . 'I thought if people take interest in my story I could convert that interest into resources for my students,'

Summary: Sam Pearce goes by the name Sam Worthen when he works as a model . He walked in New York Fashion Week this February while his Brooklyn, New York school was closed for winter break . The 24-year-old has worked for the likes of DNKY, Diesel and Alexander McQueen . Mr. Pearce says he opened up about his double life in an effort to raise money to buy his students books on Go-Fund-Me .


A passenger became so angry during an argument about overweight luggage that she slapped an airline employee. The Vietnamese woman was waiting to board at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, when the incident took place. The traveller had checked in and was travelling with just hand luggage when she was asked to have it weighed by a worker. Nguyen Thi Hang placed her luggage on the scales, and then lashed out hitting an airport worker in the face . The woman, who has been named locally as Nguyen Thi Hang, 35, was stopped by a VietJet Air employee who believed her two pieces of hand luggage weighed more than the 7kg permitted. The woman proceeded to place her luggage on the weighing scales, but in a fit of anger lashed out and slapped the member of staff in the face. The scales showed the luggage did indeed weigh more than the allowance permitted. The Vietnamese woman was set to bound VietjetAir flight to the capital city of Hanoi . Thi Hang was flying into the Vietnamese capital Hanoi. Aviation authorities told tuoitrenews.vn that 'passengers are allowed to carry only one piece of portable baggage weighing up to 7kg with a of size 56x36x23 cm when boarding an aircraft' and that 'any excess baggage must be deposited at check-in counters before boarding.' The woman, who signed a statement admitting the incident in the aftermath, has been fined VND7.5 million, which roughly equates to £240 - much more than an additional weight increase would have cost her at the time.

At the meeting in Paris between Pep Guardiola and Roman Abramovich in the summer of 2012, the former Barcelona coach made it clear that he craved stability. Abramovich’s track record with managers had not been good, dispensing with Claudio Ranieri, Jose Mourinho, Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Carlo Ancelotti and Andre Villas-Boas when he raged against results. Sensibly, Guardiola approached with caution. At Barcelona, his relationship with successive presidents, Joan Laporta and Sandro Rossell, had fluctuated wildly during Guardiola’s hugely successful spell as head coach. Pep Guardiola, the Bayern Munich coach, craves stability and chooses his clubs based on such assurances . Bayern's dominance of the German domestic scene means Guardiola may be tempted by a move this summer . Manuel Pellegrini's position at Manchester City is under threat as they fight for fourth place . Abramovich had been seduced by Barcelona’s football, the 14 titles that the club won during Guardiola’s four years in charge before he took off to New York with his family for a year-long sabbatical. Chelsea’s inner circle believed they had finally landed their man and Abramovich began recruiting players in anticipation of his arrival. Eden Hazard arrived from Lille for £32m and Oscar from Internacional for £25m. Marko Marin, a £7m capture from Werder Bremen, was another gamble. Then Abramovich blew the deal by firing his European Cup-winning coach the morning after a catastrophic 3-0 defeat in Turin against Antonio Conte’s Juventus. It turned out to be a painful lesson. Guardiola was spooked, pulling out of the deal to become Chelsea’s next manager the following day and decided instead to succeed Jupp Heynckes at Bayern Munich. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich believed he had landed Guardiola in the summer of 2012 - but the then-Barcelona coach was spooked by the Russian's habit of hiring and firing managers . Expecting Guardiola to arrive, Abramovich recruited the likes of Eden Hazard (right) for £32m . Guardiola opted to join Bayern Munich instead and has maintained their dominance in the Bundesliga . BARCELONA . La Liga 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 . Copa del Rey 2008-09, 2011-12 . Supercopa de Espana 2009, 2010, 2011 . UEFA Champions League 2008-09, 2010-11 . UEFA Super Cup 2009, 2011 . FIFA Club World Cup 2009, 2011 . BAYERN MUNICH . Bundesliga 2013-14 . German Cup 2013-14 . UEFA Super Cup 2013 . FIFA Club World Cup 2013 . This is precisely the scenario that is facing Manchester City as they weigh up what on earth they are going to do with a coach who can no longer motivate his players. It is an open secret that City want Guardiola to become their next manager, but the indications are that he will not be ready to leave Bayern Munich until 2016, when his three-year contract expires, at the very earliest. To wait 12 months or more for a manager who will have the top clubs in the Barclays Premier League falling at his feet when he announces that he will leave the Allianz Arena is a dangerous position to be in. Timing, as ever, is everything.

Summary: Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich believed he had Pep Guardiola in 2012 . But the Spaniard was spooked by Abramovich's regular hiring and firing . Guardiola craves the stability he has found at Bayern Munich . And he will seek similar assurances should he join Manchester City . Pellegrini's time at the Etihad appears to be drawing to a close . City are clinging on to fourth spot in thePremier League . READ: Patrick Vieira has all the tools to become next Man City manager .


Forget friendly competition – it seems that real friends in the fashion world will do all they can in order to help promote each other, including starring in a campaign for a competing label. Versace designer Donatella Versace, 59, is set to appear in a new ad campaign not for her own brand, but for rival design house Givenchy. Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci, 40, revealed the surprising pick for his fall-winter campaign on Instagram yesterday, posting a black and white photo of himself and Donatella, who he described as his ‘ultimate icon’. Double the designer power: Versace designer Donatella Versace appears in a photo with Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy's new ad campaign . 'So proud and honored to introduce my new ultimate icon: Donatella Versace... FW15 Givenchy Family Campaign [sic],' he wrote, while promising that more images from the campaign will be unveiled soon. Donatella re-posted the snap on her own account, captioning it: 'For my talented friend Riccardo. Together we break fashion boundaries today!' 'You made my day unforgettable,' she continued in another post, thanking Riccardo and the shoot's photographers, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Fashionable friends: Donatella, left, and Riccardo, second from left, are longtime friends; they are pictured here with Franca Sozzani, second from right, and Naomi Campbell, right . Big name in the business: Donatella regularly appears in ads for her own design house, Versace, but this is the first time she is modeling for another designer. Casting Donatella in the campaign is without a doubt an unusual choice - both high-fashion brands attract similar clientele, including celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Zoe Saldana - but the designers have actually been friends for years, since first meeting at a Vogue Italia dinner a decade ago. In fact, Donatella interviewed Riccardo for Interview Magazine in 2011, telling him she found his most recent collection at the time to be 'very beautiful - super sexy' before adding that she would 'wear all of it'. That didn't surprise Riccardo, as the designer explained that he was 'obsessed' with Versace as a child and is still inspired by the brand's designs. 'Donatella, you are so much of a Givenchy woman!' he told her. 'I would really love to see you dressed in Givenchy.' Backstage BFFs: Riccardo posted this photo of himself with Donatella during Paris Haute Couture Week . Both Givenchy and Versace have many celebrity fans; Donatella is pictured here with Versace lovers Kate Hudson, left, and Goldie Hawn, right, at Paris Fashion Week this year . Riccardo has more recently proved that he is a fan of Donatella's work as well. At Paris Haute Couture Week earlier this year, the Givenchy designer posted a picture of the pair together backstage and referred to Donatella as a 'couture queen' in the photo's caption. Now, Donatella is returning the complement by lending her face to his Givenchy ads. 'You are one of the most talented designers there,' she told him in 2011. 'What you and I have in common, Donatella, [is] that careful balance,' he said, referring to their joint ability to

Summary: Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci, 40, announced that Donatella, 59, will appear in his new ad campaign . The top designers work for competing fashion brands, but they are good friends in real life . Riccardo once told Donatella he would love to see her dressed in Givenchy .


Louis van Gaal's bold recruitment drive appears to be gathering momentum after it emerged that Ilkay Gundogan expects to complete a £15million move to Old Trafford at the end of the season. Despite already re-shaping Manchester United's fortunes and guiding them to third in the Barclays Premier League, ahead of the derby with City, Van Gaal is pressing ahead with plans for more big name signings this summer. Sportsmail revealed last week that Germany centre Mats Hummels has indicated he's finally ready to become a United player, and it now seems it will be as part of a £50m-plus Borussia Dortmund double after Gundogan also gave Van Gaal the go-ahead to bid for his services. Ilkay Gundogan (right) anchors Dortmund's midfield and could be brought in to protect United's defence . Mats Hummels (left) looks likely to join Manchester United this summer to strengthen their porous rearguard . Hummels and Gundogan are likely to be lining up in red for United next year if Van Gaal gets his way . United are believed to have responded to the signal from the Germany midfielder and are confident of agreeing a fee with Dortmund. Both players have been on United's radar for some time, and both have privately let it be known they feel the time has arrived for a fresh start. Dortmund bosses are resigned to Gundogan following Hummels out of the door after the midfield anchorman flatly refused to renew a £100,000-a-week contract that runs out next year and evidently made little secret of his wish to join United. At the age of 26, Hummels (right) has made 39 appearances for Germany and won the World Cup last year . Van Gaal is set to be handed a £150m transfer kitty to further strengthen United in his second year at the club . A powerful figure at the base of Dortmund's midfield, Gundogan might normally have cost a sizeable chunk of Van Gaal's £150m summer budget but could be prised away for as little as £15m, given the time left on his contract. Dortmund will ask for around £36m for Hummels.

Summary: Gundogan expects to complete a £15m move to Old Trafford in summer . Hummels has indicated he's finally ready to become a United player . The move will be as part of a £50m-plus Borussia Dortmund double raid . Both have privately let it be known they feel the time is right for a new start . Louis van Gaal will be handed a £150m summer transfer kitty .


Niki Lauda’s red cap stood out like a beacon on the dull, grey tarmac of the biggest, most soulless paddock in all Formula One. The three-time world champion is colourful, candid and carefree. When your face is the charred remains of having nearly burned to death at the wheel of a Ferrari, why not throw caution to the wind or, in Shanghai’s case, the smog? Lauda, now chairman of Mercedes F1, aimed his first verbal grenade at his driver Nico Rosberg, who moments earlier had stood in front of him rotating his shoulders and about to play keepie-uppie to warm up for Friday's second practice session for the Chinese Grand Prix. Niki Lauda aimed a first verbal grenade at his driver Nico Rosberg ahead of the race in Shanghai . Mercedes AMG Petronas driver Rosberg is pushed back into his garage during the second practice session . Rosberg ended that session, as he did the first, behind Lewis Hamilton (below), his in-the-groove world champion team-mate who also markedly outperformed the German in the first two races, in Australia and Malaysia. Of course, not long after these words reach your breakfast tables in the shires, Rosberg may buck up and take pole, but it would be something of a surprise, not least to Lauda, if he did. ‘Yes, Nico is definitely a little bit behind Lewis,’ said the Austrian. ‘He has to sort himself out. It is not anything I can talk to him about. I don’t know why — he is not driving as well as he was. He will know what he has to do, and he must do it himself.’ Rosberg looks on in the paddock after practice for the Chinese Formula One Grand Prix in Shanghai . Rosberg drives during practice for the Formula One Grand Prix of China at Shanghai International Circuit . Rosberg is supremely professional. There is no lack of effort on his part. It is more that his confidence seems to have been shaken, whereas it was so strong in the early and mid parts of last season. Then Hamilton put down the hammer, changing the dynamic for both men. At least Rosberg is not the watching neutral’s only hope of a contest breaking out this season, after Ferrari shocked everyone by winning a fortnight ago. Nobody was ever more pleased to see Sebastian Vettel wagging his finger in celebration than fans whose own digits were poised over the television remotes’ off-switches, so jaundiced were they by the prospect of Mercedes’ seemingly endless hegemony.

Manchester City have apologised to supporters and promised to hand out ticket refunds after coaches they laid on for free were delayed and missed the kick-off at Crystal Palace. The Premier League champions have written to 300 fans who took them up on their offer of free transport for the Bank Holiday evening clash at Selhurst Park. Palace's South London home is notoriously difficult to get to and the club acted after the game was scheduled for an 8pm start, making it impossible for supporters to travel by train. Edin Dzeko and his Manchester City team-mates reflect on their Premier League defeat at Crystal Palace . Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany looks dejected after seeing his side slump to defeat in London . However, after being sent on their way from the Etihad Stadium at 1.30pm by City legend Mike Summerbee, all of those onboard the six coaches missed the kick-off with some arriving as much as 20 minutes after the start. Some complained that Summerbee's send-off had gone on for too long and was responsible for their late arrival. Now, the club has acknowledged the coaches set off too late and have written to supporters to apologise and advise them that they will be refunding the cost of their match tickets. The letter, seen by Sportsmail, reads: 'The free coach travel was provided to enable supporters to attend this match on a day when return rail travel from Manchester wasn’t an option due to the kick-off time, and the time of the final train back to Manchester. Glenn Murray is mobbed by his Crystal Palace team-mates after he opened the scoring against Man City . Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew celebrates with the home fans during their win against Manchester City . 'We have liaised with our travel partner and wanted to advise that whilst this was a Bank Holiday, which was factored in to the journey planning, it is accepted that the coaches should have left the Etihad Stadium earlier than they did. 'As a gesture to you and all supporters who travelled on the official coaches, the club will be refunding the money that you paid for your match ticket within the next seven working days. We will contact you if we require any further details to process the refund. 'We would like to apologise for the delayed arrival at Selhurst Park and thank you for your patience and support on the day.' The move is likely to cost the club in the region of £12,000. Things did not get much better for the City fans when they finally arrived for the match as Manuel Pellegrini's side went down 2-1 to all-but-end their hopes of retaining their title.

Summary: Manchester City have apologised to supporters and promised refunds . 300 fans affected after six coaches were delayed and they missed kick-off . The move is likely to cost the Premier League champions around £12,000 . City lost the game at Palace 2-1 to seemingly end their title aspirations .

The coroner's office said Krueger died of a gunshot wound to the chest. He was photo editor for the UK campus newspaper, the Kentucky Kernel. Fayette County Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Larson would not say if there were other suspects, what the men are accused of stealing or how many weapons were used. 'I suspect that if there are other arrests the police will say that,' Larson said. 'I really am not going to talk about the facts of a pending case. And if you were on trial, you'd want me to say that.' Dazmond Morgan, who lives near the scene of the crime told the Herald-Leader he rushed to the Krueger's side after hearing four gunshots around 2am on Friday.

He was asking us if like, he could trust us, cause he was just scared of anything at that point in time.That was his friend who got shot at so it's terrifying.' Smith told a reporter Friday he didn't kill Krueger, and Diaz said he was innocent. 'I swear on my life I'm innocent,' Diaz said. 'I've never killed anybody in my life.' Preliminary hearings are scheduled May 7. Chris Poore, the student adviser for the university's newspaper, the Kentucky Kernel, remembered the young man as funny and talented.

A former New York City investment banker faces trial in eastern Long Island on charges he raped a woman he took home after celebrating his birthday at a Hamptons nightclub. Jason Lee, 38, a former managing director at Goldman Sachs, was arrested in August 2013 after the woman accused him of attacking her in a bathroom at the home he had rented with his wife in the summer resort town of East Hampton. Lee has pleaded not guilty and is free on $100,000 bail. He has opted for a non-jury trial before Suffolk County Court Judge Barbara Kahn. Charged: Former Goldman Sachs managing director Jason Lee, 38, faces charges of allegedly raping a 20-year-old Irish woman in the Hamptons in August 2013 . Lee's attorney, Manhattan lawyer Andrew Lankler, did not respond to email and telephone messages seeking comment. A lawyer who represented Lee at his arraignment in 2013 said his client was innocent and that the sex was consensual. Prosecutors said Lee was celebrating his birthday at Georgica restaurant and lounge in Wainscott when he invited the woman and her friends back to his rental home for a pool party. The woman, a then-20-year-old Irish student said that once at the house, Lee undressed, forced his way into a bathroom and pinned her to the floor. Scene: This is the house on Clover Leaf Lane in East Hampton, New York, where the sexual assault allegedly occurred . Restaurant: The group met at Georgica's restaurant and lounge, pictured, popular with the jetset summer crowd of East Hampton . Suffolk County District Attorney Tom Spota said the woman was treated at a hospital following the assault. A nurse, who was trained in sexual assault cases, examined the woman after the alleged incident and said her injuries, including bruises, were consistent with her allegations, according to the Irish Times. At the time of the incident, police who arrived at the house reportedly found the banker cowering in his Range Rover. It also emerged Lee's own friend, Rene Duncan, called the police, believing one of the alleged victim's friends had stolen a car from Lee's rental home. Accused: Lee was a managing director for Goldman Sachs and works at the investment bank's headquarters at 200 West Street in Lower Manhattan. A representative from the company said he left the firm last year . But when police arrived, the young woman's brother drew a female officer aside and led her into the house where his sobbing sister reported she had been raped, according to The East Hampton Star. A source told the newspaper that Lee then went to the driveway of the $33,000-a-month summer home he was renting, got into his late model Range Rover, which was dark with tinted windows, and hid. But officers soon found him cowering inside, the source said. One of the other foreign students borrowed Duncan's car to drive home another friend and did not return, prompting Duncan to call the cops. However, the car was found the next day. Spota said the woman was was working in the U.S. at

A teenage factory girl in China dumped her newborn child in a toilet after giving birth – before going back to work on a shoe production line. The baby boy was found in the female toilets of a shoe factory in Wenzhou City by a cleaner, prompting its managers to start searching for the mother. They found Xiao Ying, 17, working on the production line – but she completely denied giving birth to the child, The People’s Daily Online reported. The baby boy was dumped by his teenager mother in a factory toilets, before she went back to work. Xiao Ying, 17, said she was afraid to tell her parents she was pregnant and wanted to 'forget the entire incident' When a cleaner found the child in the femaie toilets he was 'icy cold'. The baby's condition is now improving but his traumatic birth could lead to problem later in life. The father of the girl said they could not keep the baby . It was only when the managers spotted blood on the girl’s shoe that she admitted she was the mother. CCTV filmed Ying going into the toilets at 8.11am clutching her tummy – and walking slowly back out at 8.13am, only one minute and 49 seconds later. The teenager said she managed to hid the pregnancy for months because 'no-one cared, and no-one asked.' She said: ‘I found out I was pregnant four to five months ago. I was experiencing a lot of morning sickness and felt movement in my stomach. ‘I didn’t tell my parents because I was afraid of being beaten.’ The father of the baby is 18 years old. The couple had planned to get married but didn’t go through with it. When they broke up Ying – whose surname is Ding – said she didn’t know she was pregnant and she had not been in contact with him, adding she could hardly remember what he looked like. When asked why she abandoned her baby she said: ‘At the time I had lots of abdominal pain so I went to the toilet. ‘When the baby came out I was terrified so I quickly ran to the dormitory, changed my clothes and just wanted to forget the entire incident.’ Authorities at the shoe factory, like the one pictured here, found the mother back working on the production line. She denied giving birth, but came clean when managers saw that she had blood on her shoes . Ying said she was afraid to tell her parents she was pregnant in case they beat her. Her father has now said they will not raise her child, saying: ' My daughter isn't married. We cannot keep this baby.' Ying’s father arrived to arrange her medical treatment, but said the family had no intention of keeping the baby and would ask the father’s family to step in. ‘My daughter isn’t married. We cannot keep this baby’, he said. A member of the HR department at the factory said they found the mother back on the production line. He said: ‘At the

West Bromwich Albion had just produced a typical Tony Pulis performance to beat his former club Crystal Palace 2-0 when he claimed he will never change. The 57-year-old’s gritty, resilient playing style is well reflected in the touchline attire he insists on wearing at every game; cap, track suit and shiny white trainers. James Morrison headed in within two minutes and Craig Gardner added a stunning 30-yard strike in the second half, but Alan Pardew’s side dominated the remainder of the game only to be met by West Brom’s stubborn doggedness.

I came down after 10 minutes because I’d had enough of sitting there. That’s just the way I am. I want to be close to the action.’ West Brom ended their run of 10 away games without a victory, drawing five and losing five. Pulis will turn up to the stadium in suit and tie, then return to that again straight after the match to address the press before he leaves. Pardew was resplendent in full suit and tie on Saturday. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted last week that he started smartening up on the sideline after his chairman Daniel Levy told him to. ‘I’ll leave it for all the sophisticated lads,’ Pulis added. ‘I’ve always done it and I don’t see no reason not to just because we’re in the Premier League with all the TV cameras and everything. I’ve done it right from my days at Bournemouth.’ Why change a ritual that works? The three points moved West Brom to 36 points which virtually guarantees them safety. Much like he achieved at Palace last year. That’s worth doffing your cap to. Palace winger Wilfried Zaha (left) is tackled by West Brom's Gardener (right) during the match on Saturday . Pulis has worked wonders at West Brom and has virtually assured their survival in the Premier League .

Summary: Tony Pulis led West Brom to 2-0 win over his former club Crystal Palace . West Brom's performance was typically disciplined of a Pulis side . Pulis has insisted that his signature style will never change .

With the increasing pressure of modern life, more and more women in their 30s and 40s are suffering stress spots as well as wrinkles. But now help is at hand on the high street with a cream that claims to tackle spots while also fighting the signs of ageing. Superdrug has launched a range of creams with ingredients normally found in teenage spot treatments – as well as those for anti-ageing. Scroll down for video . Superdrug has launched a range of creams with ingredients normally found in teenage spot treatments – as well as those for anti-ageing . A poll of 2,000 women in their 30s, 40s and 50s discovered almost half were still being blighted with blemishes well into adulthood. One in three women said they even shy away from talking to people because they are so self-conscious about the state of their skin . One in three women said they even shy away from talking to people because they are so self-conscious about the state of their skin. And experts say that growing stress levels are a key factor. Stress makes the adrenal glands release male hormones, which then trigger more oil production, blocking pores. The Superdrug range, Clearly Youthful, starts at £5.99 and it is believed the range is the first of its kind on the high street. Clinique has a blemish range but this does not include a full regime of anti-ageing products, while brands such as Murad, which has focused on anti-ageing, are pricier with £49 for a moisturiser. Jill Flood, of Superdrug, said the Clearly Youthful range is inexpensive compared to high-end versions and the products provide a two-in-one solution. She said: ‘The general assumption is that we suffer the most problematic skin in our teens – but we know that for today’s woman this simply isn’t true. Most women will have some type of skin complaint well after their teenage years. ‘The rise of candid images of celebrities being shared has certainly shown that the average woman is not alone in having bad skin days, when even Kate Moss is pictured with blemishes it shows that the problem is universal.’ Dermatologist Dr Michael Prager believes hormones and diet are also to blame. He said: ‘I get a lot of women coming along and saying, “I never used to get spots but now I’m getting them”.’

Summary: One in three women are self conscious about the state of their skin . Superdrug launches range of creams to tackle spots and fight aging . Hormones and diets blamed for those up to their 50s suffering with spots .


Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was pictured enjoying a Roman holiday this week as he took a stroll around a tourist market in the Italian capital. Bezos, who is worth $34.7billion from his online marketplace, blended in with the throngs of tourists at the Campo de' Fiori on Tuesday, happily snapping pictures of the stalls with his Amazon phone and a camera. The Internet mogul was accompanied by family members and a discreet security guard as he took in the bustling market at the heart of the Eternal City. Exploring the marketplace: Billionaire Jeff Bezos takes in the 'Campo de' Fiori' in Rome on Tuesday as he enjoyed a spring break with family . The billionaire founder of Amazon was seen snapping away at stalls in the marketplace using both his Amazon phone and camera . Bezos, who is worth $34.7billion, blended in with tourists but was also discreetly accompanied by a security guard around the Italian capital . The 51-year-old wandered around the stalls dressed casually in a pair of aviator shades and blue checked shirt with a woman and young boy before buying a few things. Campo de' Fiori is one of the most popular tourist spots in Rome, selling a diverse array of products from the flowers that the square takes it names after to coffee pots and fake Italian soccer shirts. Bezos was not accompanied by wife of 22 years, MacKenzie. The couple have four children, three sons and a daughter adopted from China. Bezos is ranked number 15 on Forbes' billionaires list for his vast wealth but he still suffered a knock in 2014 after dropping down the list when he lost $7.5 billion. The Roman holiday appeared to be a well-deserved break for Bezos whose space company, Blue Origin, announced earlier this month that it had finished work on a rocket engine for a suborbital spaceship. Blue Origin expected to begin flight tests this year. Bezos said last week that the partnership between United Launch Alliance and his company on a new rocket engine was 'incredibly exciting'. The so-called New Shepard spaceship is designed to fly three people and/or a mix of passengers and payloads to altitudes about 62 miles (100 km) above Earth. Bezos was spotted at the popular tourist spot, Campo de' Fiori, in central Rome during a spring vacation . Jeff Bezo has been married to wife Mackenzie since 1993 (the couple are pictured attending the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 7, 2012 in New York City)

More than a third of GPs are considering retirement in the next five years, a survey shows. Another one in ten is thinking about moving abroad to countries including Canada and Australia, where the pay is higher and workload less stressful. A poll of 15,560 family doctors also found that one in six is considering going part-time and 7 per cent are contemplating quitting altogether. Choices: A poll of 15,560 family doctors found that one in six is considering going part-time and 7 per cent are contemplating quitting altogether (file picture) Senior GPs say they are facing ‘incredible’ pressures brought on by an increasingly ageing population who have complicated illnesses, as well as having to chase targets. Their morale is low despite the fact they benefited from a pay deal ten years ago that resulted in their salaries rising by 50 per cent, while allowing them to opt out of working during evenings and weekends. There is now a national recruitment crisis and many surgeries are short-staffed, with increasing numbers of GPs retiring or moving abroad. And they are not being replaced by younger trainees, who view the career as ‘second class’ compared to more prestigious roles as hospital doctors or surgeons. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt last month described the situation as ‘worrying’ and pledged to alter targets and invest more in surgeries. The British Medical Association survey, which included GPs in their late 20s through to early 60s, found that 34 per cent were considering retiring within the next five years. 'Worrying': Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt (pictured) has pledged to alter targets and invest more in surgeries . And a fifth of the 780 trainee GPs included in the poll were already considering moving abroad. Dr Chaand Nagpaul, chairman of the BMA’s GP committee, said: ‘This poll lays bare the stark reality of the crisis facing the GP workforce. ‘It is clear that incredible pressures on GP services are at the heart of this problem, with escalating demand having far outstripped capacity. ‘GPs are overworked and intensely frustrated that they do not have enough time to spend with their patients, especially the increasing numbers of older people with multiple and complex problems.’ Last month, figures showed the number of GPs applying to work abroad had increased by 40 per cent in five years. The most popular destinations are Australia, New Zealand and Canada where they can earn the equivalent of £200,000 a year and have more of a work-life balance. GPs in England earn an average of £105,000 a year, and many take home considerably more. But they claim they often work 12-hour days or longer, and that ten-minute appointment slots are not sufficient to meet patients’ needs. Dr Maureen Baker, chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said the shortage of family doctors could have a ‘devastating impact’ on the future of the NHS.

Summary: One in ten thinking about moving to countries where the pay is higher . Poll of 15,560 family doctors finds 1 in 6 is considering going part-time . BMA survey also reveals 7% of GPs are contemplating quitting altogether . Benefited from pay deal ten years ago that saw salaries increase by 50% .


Steve Bruce is adamant he can keep Hull City in the Barclays Premier League after a 2-0 defeat by Southampton left them battling to stay up. At the start of the campaign Bruce was targeting 10 wins to survive, but despite a strong start his Hull side have mustered just six and he is hoping 'nine or eight might be enough.' Hull were the better side against Southampton for the first 45 minutes but a James Ward-Prowse penalty and late strike from Graziano Pelle meant they left with nothing. Steve Bruce is confident he can keep Hull City in the Premier League this season and avoid relegation . They now have six games to save their season including nightmare fixtures against Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United. But Bruce insisted: 'Everyone is up for the challenge and I'm sure and convinced that we'll do it. If we keep remaining positive I'm convinced we can take a couple of results which will take us over the line. 'We've had a wonderful three years near enough from getting promoted to getting to a cup final, staying up last year. I've always had something in my water that this season would be the most difficult because all of a sudden you've created an expectation and unfortunately we haven't been able to live up to that expectation. Hull were beaten 2-0 by Southampton on Saturday and are just two points clear of the drop zone . 'We've got our reasons for it, we've still got enough to keep us out of trouble I hope. We're bang in it but I'm still convinced we'll get out of it.' Bruce puts their struggles down to several long-term injuries to key players. At St Mary's Stadium, Mohamed Diame returned from five months out and James Chester from three. Michael Dawson and Nikica Jelavic have missed half the season and Robert Snodgrass has not been available at all. Bruce added: 'They are big players for us and unfortunately, at this moment, we haven't been able to cope. We've battled on manfully but not quite been good enough.' James Ward-Prowse slots home a penalty for Southampton against Hull as they moved up to fifth . Ronald Koeman's side moved to fifth in the table ahead of Tottenham, who lost to Aston Villa, and Liverpool, who play Newcastle on Monday. But the Dutchman left with his own problems, after he had to intervene when Sadio Mane tried to take the penalty when Ward-Prowse was first-choice. Koeman will speak to his squad to remind them that team rules cannot be broken by anyone. Koeman said: 'I already had a word with Mane but we will talk to the team about that because maybe I have to mention it a bit more clearly.'

Summary: Steve Bruce adamant that Hull will avoid relegation from Premier League . Hull were beaten 2-0 by Southampton at St Mary's on Saturday . Defeat leaves Hull in 17th just two points clear of the danger zone . Bruce wanted 10 wins at the start of the season, but Hull have just six .


Inverness have angrily vowed to fight an SFA bid to ban Josh Meekings from the Scottish Cup Final. Meekings was served with a retrospective notice of complaint by compliance officer Tony McGlennan after handling a goal-bound header from Celtic's Leigh Griffiths in Sunday's controversial semi-final. After losing 3-2 following extra-time, Celtic wrote to the SFA to seek 'clarification' on the reasons for referee Steven McLean and his four assistants missing the first-half incident, when the Parkhead club were leading 1-0. Inverness defender Josh Meekings prevents a goal-bound header from Celtic's Leigh Griffiths with his hand . Meekings was not sent off and no penalty was given as Inverness went on to beat Celtic 3-2 after extra-time . Meekings will argue his case at an SFA tribunal tomorrow after Inverness vowed to 'vigorously defend' their player in a bid to clear him for the Final against Falkirk on May 30. 'We intend to vigorously defend our player and are taking legal advice on the issue,' said a club statement. 'We are extremely disappointed that this has arisen and the player himself is mentally shattered at the turn of events. 'Josh is keen to appear in person at the disciplinary hearing and we will most strongly support him by all means available.' Celtic had goalkeeper Craig Gordon sent off in Sunday's second half as their chances of a rare domestic Treble turned to dust. The decision to query the standard of officiating at the semi-final came after a huge supporter backlash, but prompted anger from fans of other clubs. Caley Thistle boss John Hughes said after Sunday's historic victory that Meekings might have received a red card.

Celtic's Adam Matthews (right) slides in with a strong challenge on Nick Ross (left) during Sunday's game . Already missing defender Gary Warren from the Final, however, he insisted the alleged hand-ball had been accidental. 'If they are going to do that, I'll just get the video tapes out and go back and say: 'What about this, what about that?' 'Who says he has done it on purpose? 'For me that's your initial reaction, you're going to head the ball and your hand comes up. 'I'm honest enough to tell you it's one we got away with. But I don't think it was deliberate. 'I think Josh went to try to get his head on it and his hand comes up. 'The referee never saw it, play on, one we got away with and it was probably the bit of luck we needed.' Meekings himself posted on Twitter on Tuesday night, saying: 'Thanks for all the positive messages and support. Can't comment on anything, but I am seeing them and appreciate it.'

Summary: Inverness defender Josh Meekings prevented a goal-bound header from Celtic's Leigh Griffiths with his hand during the Scottish Cup semi-final . He did not face any punishment in the match which Caley Thistle went on to win 3-2 after extra-time . Celtic have since complained to the SFA about the incident . A call to ban Meekings from the final will be contested by Inverness .


Frogs that build underground ‘sex nests’ to mate with their partner have been found by a team of researchers. The intriguing males build these secret chambers to avoid predators. The discovery was made by researchers in the Atlantic forest of Serra do Japi in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. A new species of frog has been found in Brazil. Called Hylodes japi, it was found to mate underground in secret chambers. Males and females typically find a spot to mate in about five minutes. And the male will cover up the eggs to protect them from predators. Shown is another torrent frog, the Waterfall frog . The new species of torrent frog, reported by New Scientist, is called Hylodes japi. The amphibian, part of the Hylodes lateristrigatus group, is characterised by light stripes on its size, while it is also relatively small, according to the researchers. And when it comes to mating, this family of frogs has a unique trait not seen in other frogs. They typically like to live near fast streams and, if a pair decides to mate, they will spend five minutes searching for a private spot. ‘The male quickly carves out a chamber by excavating the sand around small rocks at the bottom of the stream,’ said Agata Blaszczak-Boxe from New Scientist. ‘Then, like Christian Grey from Fifty Shades he invites his mate into his sex dungeon, which is only just big enough to fit the two amorous amphibians.’ The amphibian, part of the Hylodes lateristrigatus group, is characterised by light stripes on its size, while it is also relatively small, according to the researchers. It was found in the Atlantic forest of Serra do Japi in the State of São Paulo, Brazil . Once the female has laid her eggs, the male then covers up the entrance with sand from the stream. The reason for this is not only to protect the eggs from predators, but also from tadpoles of the species - as they are known to be cannibalistic. Finding the frogs wasn’t easy, either - they are so secretive that the researchers had to don camouflage gear in order to observe them. A new species of glass frog (shown right) has been discovered with translucent skin so you can see its insides. The creature, named Hyalinobatrachium dianae, was found in the mountains of eastern Costa Rica and has a distinctive call. While most of its body is a brilliant lime green, like all species of glass frogs, the skin on its underside is see-though, making its organs easily visible. The animal’s heart, liver and gastrointestinal tract are easily visible. Scientists were surprised to stumble across the frog, given that a through survey of the region was conducted late last century, and reported their find in the journal Zootaxa. The frog was named by Brian Kubicki who discovered it, after his mother Janet Diana Kubicki to thank her for supporting his interest in science, Costa Rica’s Tico Times reported.

Summary: A new species of frog has been found in the State of São Paulo, Brazil . Called Hylodes japi, it was found to mate underground in secret chambers . Males and females typically find a spot to mate in about five minutes . And the male will cover up the eggs to protect them from predators .


A dentist who pulled out a man's teeth to try and cure his erectile dysfunction has been ordered to pay 20,000 euros (£14,000) in compensation. The patient - known only as Alex S - had all 19 of his teeth removed over four weeks in Munich, Germany, and was charged 2,000 euros (£1,435). He believed the series of operations would help him regain his vitality and also cure his schizophrenia. A dentist who pulled out a man's teeth to try and cure his erectile dysfunction has been ordered to pay 20,000 euros (£14,000) in compensation (stock image above) The dentist - known only as K - claimed to be a 'recognised healer' and said he helped the 'spiritual self-healing capabilities of his patients'. It is thought he believed the operation would help cure Mr S, The Local reported. In a letter to his lawyer K claimed that he had healed the patient by removing his 'poisonous' teeth - adding that the patient was 'not psychotic' but 'marvellous'. But in court K said he pulled the teeth out because Mr S, who lived in woods and only ate raw foods, had bone inflammation and was allergic to fillings. The dentist - known only as K - will also have to pay the cost of the patient's implants (stock image above) The dentist even tried to demand 50,000 euros (£36,000) in compensation for damage done to his professional reputation by the trial. An independent report found no basis for the operation. The judge said K should have recognised that Mr S 'didn't quite tick right', adding that he was not a 'normal dentist'. K was also ordered to pay the cost of Mr S's implants.

Summary: Patient had 19 teeth removed in a series of operations in Munich, Germany . The dentist - known only as K - claimed he was a 'recognised healer' Alleged the patient had bone inflammation and couldn't have fillings . Independent report found there was no medical basis for the operations .


Sportsmail takes a look at 10 things we have learned from an entertaining weekend of Premier League fixtures, as well as intriguing statistics from the Football League. 1. Dick Advocaat might consider bringing in referee Anthony Taylor to give his players some lessons on keeping up with play. The official sprinted more than half the length of the field to be 10 yards from Yannick Bolasie when he completed his hat-trick for Crystal Palace in the 4-1 demolition of Sunderland. Top marks for him – but none at all for Lee Cattermole who was goal side of Bolasie before the breakaway began, yet way behind the official when the goal went in. Connor Wickham and Adam Johnson were also both stood nearer their own goal than the ref when James McArthur’s clearance began the move, but nowhere to be seen when the ball hit the net. Yannick Bolasie raced past Lee Cattermole before scoring his hat-trick goal against Sunderland . Cattermole was goal side of Bolasie before the Crystal Palace winger went on to score his third goal . Referee Anthony Taylor sprinted past Sunderland midfielder Cattermole during Bolasie's impessive run . Bolasie starred in Crystal Palace's emphatic 4-1 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light . 2. Gary Cahill has responded to the challenge of fighting Kurt Zouma for his place in Chelsea’s defence and looks to be winning the battle. When it got tough for the Premier League leaders at Loftus Road it was Cahill who responded best to ensure Cesc Fabregas’ late striker was a winner. Cahill made 15 clearances – as many as the rest of Chelsea’s back four put together – and won 13 of 15 duels for the ball. Gary Cahill has managed to win back his starting spot alongside John Terry after his brief absence . Chelsea starlet Kurt Zouma had deputised for Cahill during the England international's stint on the sidelines . 3. Arsene Wenger’s decision to axe goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny after fining him for smoking in the showers at Southampton has proved a pivotal point of Arsenal’s season. The 1-0 victory at Burnley was the sixth clean sheet the Gunners had kept in 12 Premier League games since David Ospina took over – one more than they’d achieved in the previous 20. More important, Arsenal have won 11 of those matches to move from sixth in the table to second. Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina has kept six clean sheets since replacing Wojciech Szczesny . 4. Vincent Kompany’s recovery from a hamstring injury was supposed to be the boost Manchester City needed towards the end of the season but instead has marked the collapse of their campaign. City were in the middle of a 14-game unbeaten run when their skipper came back to face title rivals Arsenal at the end of January – a game they lost 2-0. The 4-2 collapse at Old Trafford made it 14 matches since then, of which City have lost eight. Belgian star Kompany has missed only one of them – a 2-0 win over Leicester which saw

Summary: Yannick Bolasie raced past Lee Cattermole to claim his hat-trick . Referee Anthony Taylor was closer to Bolasie than Cattermole for final goal . Gary Cahill has won back his starting spot after brief spell on sidelines . Vincent Kompany failed to impress in Man City's defeat by Man United . Arsene Wenger's decision to drop Wojciech Szczesny has been justified .


Menacing: An immigrant holds his machete to his face as gangs clashed with police following the outbreak of violence in South Africa . Police battled to contain a wave of violence in South Africa last night as gangs of migrants armed themselves with machetes to fight off anti-foreigner attacks by locals. Five people have died since vigilantes started looting and attacking shops owned by immigrants, mainly from other parts of Africa. Police fired stun grenades and rubber bullets as immigrant gangs confronted the vigilantes, and last night in parts of Johannesburg officers formed a human barrier to keep the two sides apart. More than 200 immigrants had to take refuge in a police station and dozens of businesses were closed when trouble spread just a day after a rally against xenophobia in Durban. Immigrants have complained about a lack of protection from the authorities and some have started arming themselves to fight back. Eyewitnesses have claimed that the vigilante violence is carefully orchestrated and that minibuses have been ferrying men armed with knives and machetes around suburbs. In the past two weeks, shops and homes owned by Somalis, Ethiopians, Malawians and other migrants have been targeted, forcing more than 2,000 to flee to camps protected by armed guards. In Johannesburg, Malawian immigrant Samuel Idrssa described how his friend was stabbed and set on fire by a mob. ‘We wanted to rescue him but there were too many of them,’ he said. ‘It was shocking.’ He added: ‘We have all left our homes. Those affected are those of us who live in poor townships because we live with poor South Africans who do not have jobs.’ So far, five people are believed to have been killed in the violent protests which started two weeks ago in Durban, a key port on South Africa's Indian Ocean coast, spreading to Johannesburg. Violence flared days after Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini said in remarks reported by local media that foreigners should 'take their bags and go'. In a recorded speech sent to a local broadcaster, he said: 'We must deal with our own lice' and complained about foreign-owned shops. He has since said his comments were misinterpreted. Addressing parliament in Cape Town on Thursday, President Zuma reiterated his condemnation of the violence, calling it a 'violation' of South Africa's values. 'No amount of frustration or anger can ever justify the attacks on foreign nationals and the looting of their shops,' he said. 'We condemn the violence in the strongest possible terms. The attacks violate all the values that South Africa embodies.' Scroll down for video .

Summary: Anti-immigrant protests have been ongoing in South Africa for two weeks and at least five people have been killed . Foreign nationals have been loading trucks with their wares as they flee Johannesburg and neighbouring towns . Protesters are angry about foreigners in the country when unemployment is high and wealth isn't distributed equally .

Charlie Adam looked up, noticed Thibaut Courtois was off his line, and thought: ‘Why not?’ Why not, indeed. The Stoke City midfielder was 66 yards from goal but had the audacity to score what will surely be crowned the Barclays Premier League’s strike of the season. David Beckham did it against Wimbledon in August 1996, as did Wayne Rooney against West Ham last March. There was Xabi Alonso in 2006 and Maynor Figueroa three years later, too. Charlie Adam (centre) lets fly from inside his own half as he scores one of the goals of his career at Chelsea . Thibaut Courtois watches on as he is unable to stop Adam's shot from hitting the back of the net for 1-1 . Yet this was different. It was not a hit and hope. It was not a lob. This was a direct shot from deep inside Adam’s own half which fooled one of the world’s greatest goalkeepers — and Adam meant it. Sportmail’s Jamie Redknapp agreed. ‘This is better than Beckham, more audacious than Rooney’s last season, This is one of the best strikes we’ve ever seen. It’s an absolutely incredible piece of play by Charlie Adam. ‘You categorise goals as great individual efforts or team goals, but that was a piece of genius. To even try it is brilliant.’ Even by the standards those at Stamford Bridge are used to seeing week in, week out, this was special. Particularly because it came from an unexpected source, from a ‘bloke who looks like a bus driver’, as former English cricket captain Freddie Flintoff colourfully put it. Nineteen years ago, when Beckham introduced himself to the world with his goal from the halfway line, he did so wearing the wrong footwear. The Manchester United great beat Wimbledon goalkeeper Neil Sullivan wearing custom-made boots embroidered with ‘Charlie’ on the tongue — adidas sending Beckham a pair which were actually intended for Rangers attacking midfielder Charlie Miller. Adam (second left) admitted he had mixed emotions after scoring the goal but losing the game . David Beckham struck from inside his own half for Manchester United against Wimbledon in 1996 . Beckham celebrated the final goal in 3-0 win for United on the opening day of the 1996-97 season . Chelsea became the second team to score 100 penalties in the Premier League. Liverpool were the first and have now scored 102. Miller never got his boots as they were retired, turned into a museum piece, having helped Beckham towards his first of 115 England caps less than three weeks later against Moldova. From one Scottish Charlie to another, Adam plans to frame his boots and shirt from Stamford Bridge, but this goal is unlikely to be the making of the former Rangers, Blackpool and Liverpool midfielder as it was for Beckham. Yet in the four seconds it took for the ball to go from boot to net, Adam disproved the theory that sequels are never better than the original. ‘The manager kept saying to me, “come in the middle of the pitch”, to try to

Summary: Charlie Adam scored remarkable goal in defeat to league leaders . Even Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho full of praise for Adam's strike . Adam's goal compared to David Beckham and Xabi Alonso goals .


Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has hit out at people questioning why she doesn't have children – and claimed she would never be asked if she was a man. The SNP leader said her predecessor Alex Salmond did not have to field questions on why he has not started a family. Ms Sturgeon insisted she was not 'moaning' but also attacked the criticism she and other female politicians' have had to endure over their appearance.

In the programme, set to air on STV in Scotland at 7.30pm tonight, Ms Sturgeon reveals how Margaret Thatcher inspired her to get in to politics – but not for the reasons the 'iron lady' would have wanted. She also reveals her low-brow TV viewing habits, love of steak and chips and recent image makeover. The First Minister also talks of her dream to be the first leader of an independent Scotland, but would not be drawn on when the SNP dream would become a reality. Ms Sturgeon, who is married to Peter Murrell, the SNP Chief Executive, said she understood the why people asked her about why she did not have any children.

A Pakistani supermodel has been charged with money laundering offences after she was caught carrying over half a million dollars in Islamabad airport. 21-year-old Ayyan Ali - who has modeled everything from mobile phones to ice cream - was jailed after a staggering amount of money was discovered in her carry-on bag, the Guardian reports. She was charged with attempting to illegally transport more than the legal $10,000 cash limit out of the country on March 14 - and has been in a Rawalpindi prison since. Ali was last seen in public wearing an 'uncharacteristic' black burka outside court as a horde of fellow models gathered nearby. Scroll down for video .

A former model-turned-public relations guru says the country's fashionista circles can talk about nothing else. Frieha Altaf added: 'Some are unkind because they are jealous – everyone b*****s about the beautiful people.' Ever since she was caught in the VIP departure lounge of Benazir Bhutto International Airport, she has been housed in Adiala which is the central prison of the garrison city Rawalpindi. Officials there have denied claims she is receiving special privileges because of her celebrity status with one officer saying private cells are only made available for government officials and the 'highly educated'. She has been denied bail to the outrage of her lawyer who said: 'All agencies have interrogated her and she is no more required for any purpose whatsoever. Sardar Ishaq added: 'She is living with ordinary criminals – ladies involved in murder cases. It will ruin her life.' Many in Pakistan's fashion world think she was manipulated into carrying the money - including the 'grand dame' of the country's blossoming industry.

Ever since the iPhone 3GS launched in 2009, Apple has followed a new handset one year with a marginally-different 'S' version the year after. But rumours suggest it is about to abandon these plans by skipping the launch of a 6S this autumn in favour of going straight for the iPhone 7. This difference may seem slight, but it suggests the next model of iPhone could be substantial improvement on iPhone 6 range, and rumours have hinted towards new features such as Force Touch. Rumours suggest Apple is about to abandon the 6S later this year in favour of going straight for the iPhone 7. This difference may seem slight but it suggests the next model of iPhone could be substantial improvement on iPhone 6 range (pictured), and rumours have hinted towards new features . The claims were made by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo during a note to investors on Tuesday, reports MacRumors. He said the next-generation iPhone will feature Force Touch, recently added to the Apple Watch and new MacBook. Apple describes Force Touch as the 'most significant new sensing capability' since Multi‑Touch. It recognises typical scrolling and pinching gestures, but it additionally tracks the pressure of a person's click and responds accordingly. The claims were made by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who said the next-generation iPhone will feature Force Touch, recently added to the Apple Watch and new MacBook (pictured). It recognises typical scrolling and pinching gestures, but additionally tracks the pressure of a click and responds accordingly . Apple released its iOS 8.3 update yesterday. And in addition to 300 new emojis, including the much-anticipated 'racially diverse' people icons, Apple also rolled out Wi-Fi Calling on more networks. People on Sprint in the US and EE in the UK can now use their iPhones to make calls using the web. Wi-Fi Calling routes calls through a Wi-Fi network instead of using mobile signal, which can be notoriously temperamental. Calls made over Wi-Fi don't use minutes or data and can be used to make free calls when roaming. Apple added the option in iOS 8 in September, although it was only used by T-Mobile at that time. EE launched the UK's first Wi-Fi Calling service earlier this week on the Lumia 640 and Samsung's Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. Although services such as Skype and Viber offer calls over Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Calling doesn't require an app and uses the handset's built-in dialler and contact list. This means gestures and tracking feel more intuitive and are more responsive. And on the Watch this feature is used to access more options in menus, for example. If Force Touch is added to the next iPhone, Mr Kuo said the change will be significant enough to warrant Apple adding the 7 moniker to any new handsets. This follows recent rumours which suggested a 4-inch version of the iPhone 6 is in development to replace the iPhone 5C with a lower cost and 'female friendly' design. The handset will be launched during 2015, according to Chinese rumour site Feng.com, and it would complement

Summary: Claims were made by Thailand-based KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo . He said the next-generation iPhone will feature Force Touch . This was added to the Watch and Macbook and tracks click pressures . If true, the change will be significant enough to warrant Apple calling its handset iPhone 7 rather than adding a traditional 'S' to the iPhone 6 range .


Leaks from the investigation into shamed newsman Brian Williams were given to the press to pressure him into resignation, a report claims. News broke this weekend that the committee investigating the NBC star found he lied in his reporting to make himself look good at least 11 times. The leaked information, along a report that Williams lied during an interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, is designed to make the disgraced anchor negotiate an exit from his network, according to media executives. Scroll down for video . Leaked: Media executives who spoke to POLITICO say that information given to the press from the NBC investigation into anchor Brian Williams (above) was designed to make the broadcaster resign . Iraq shame: Williams fell from grace after veterans called him out after he lied about being on board a US military chopper which was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, but miraculously managed to land . Investigative journalists at the network have been poring over Williams's past reports and statements after he was booted from the top job in TV news, hunting down signs of dishonesty. Williams was publicly suspended with no pay for six months after it emerged that he repeatedly told a self-aggrandizing, false story about being aboard a military helicopter hit by an RPG over Iraq. The anchor has up to a $50million contract and POLITICO claims that he is being pressured to resign. The site reported that he could receive up to $30million in an exit agreement with NBC. 'You’re dead. Now negotiate,' one media executive told the website. Williams signed a deal with the network last year to continue at the network thought to be worth $10million a year, and he is thought to be looking at a minimum of $20million if he leaves. The eleven incidents cited in media reports about the secretive investigation would mean the trail of deceit from the fallen face of NBC's Nightly News goes far deeper than previously reported. Further scrutiny of Williams's record turned up other questionable claims, including dodging rocket fire over Israel and seeing a body floating through the French Quarter of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Even more such claims have been turned up now, according to reports by CNN and the Washington Post. Both cite a briefing given to NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke on Thursday in New York City at which top executives were updated on the investigation into their flagship news anchor's reporting.

Bayern Munich's treble ambitions are put to the test on Wednesday in the German Cup quarter-final when their injury-hit side travel to in-form Bayer Leverkusen. The Bavarians, runaway leaders in the Bundesliga and through to the Champions League last eight where they face Porto later this month, are eager to repeat their 2013 treble-winning campaign as the season enters its final stretch. A 1-0 league victory at Borussia Dortmund on Saturday despite a string of absences was crucial to boost their confidence ahead of the Cup game, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said. Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer celebrates after the 1-0 win against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday . Neuer made a spectacular in injury time from a Marco Reus free kick to ensure the three points . 'The 1-0 victory was a very good sign for us,' Neuer, who made a spectacular save in stoppage time to protect their slim lead, said. 'We have to try to carry this momentum to our game at Leverkusen.' Bayern were without wingers Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben as well as David Alaba, who tore a knee ligament and will be out for about two months. They were also missing defender Holger Badstuber, forcing coach Pep Guardiola to overhaul his team and play a new-look midfield with captain Philipp Lahm, Xabi Alonso and Bastian Schweinsteiger. 'I would have liked to have played differently but I have to adapt the system to my players,' said Guardiola. Neuer advances from his line to beat Reus to the ball during the clash at Signal Iduna Park . Manager Pep Guardiola is having to content with a number of injuries ahead of the German Cup quarter-final . Guardiola, in his second season in charge after winning the domestic double last year, will have the chance to slightly alter his system again with midfielder Thiago Alcantara making a comeback on Saturday after more than a year out injured. The addition of the skilled Spain international is undoubtedly a major asset ahead of Leverkusen, who crushed Hamburg SV 4-0 in their league game on Saturday. Ribery could also be back in time for Wednesday's game, providing Guardiola with more punching power. Leverkusen, eager to remain in the top four to secure yet another Champions League campaign next season, have won their last five Bundesliga games without conceding a goal as they hit top form. Former Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara made his first appearance for a year against Dortmund . 'We want to advance but we know it will be hard,' Leverkusen's Gonzalo Castro said. 'We know what we can do and we can play with confidence. Our counter attacks are extremely fast and good. After our 4-0 win and five straight victories our confidence is very high.' In another all-Bundesliga clash Borussia Dortmund, finalists last season, take on Hoffenheim on Tuesday eager to edge closer to the final and a possible European spot after a dismal league showing this season. VfL Wolfsburg face Freiburg and Borussia Moenchengladbach take on third-tier Arminia Bielefeld in the other two quarter-finals.

Summary: Bayern Munich won 1-0 in Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday . A Bundesliga, Cahmpions League and German Cup treble is on for Bayern . Pep Guardiola's side face Bayer Leverkusen in the Cup quarter-final . Manuel Neuer looking for Bayern to build momentum in cup on Wednesday .


A nervous Lindsey Vonn was back at Augusta on Friday to watch her beau Tiger Woods in his quest for a fifth Masters title - and fifth green jacket. And while it was a good day Woods, the golfing great still had some stressful moments and still has a way to go in catching up to leader, 21-year-old Jordan Spieth. Heading into the weekend he is a very, very distant 12 strokes behind a seemingly unstoppable Spieth, with 36 holes left to play. Scroll down for video . Lindsey Vonn was back at Augusta Friday to watch boyfriend Tiger Woods (above) play in the second round of the Masters . Vonn (above) looked stressed at times though Woods played a solid round, carding a three-under-par 69 . Woods is still well behind the leader, hot young American star Jordan Spieth (above) This as Woods, competing after a two-month absence to retool his game, showed flashes of his old magic as he fired his best score at the Masters in four years in Friday's second round. The former world number one has been under intense scrutiny after struggling badly with his chipping when last seen on the PGA Tour but he played solidly at steamy Augusta National to card a three-under-par 69. That left Woods at two-under 142, far behind the pacesetting American Spieth, but still delighted to be in contention after working hard to resurrect his game. If Spieth wins he would tie the record for the youngest winner in Masters history with Woods . This was Vonn's second day in a row cheering on Woods . 'I'm still right there,' 14-time major winner Woods said of his position going into the weekend . 'I was at a pretty low one (point) in my career,' Woods said after mixing four birdies with a bogey to climb into a tie for 14th when he ended his round. 'To basically change an entire (swing) pattern like that and put it together, put it in a position where I can compete in a major championship like this is something I'm very proud of.' Woods, who plunged to 111th in the rankings as he struggled to return to form following back surgery last year and his fifth swing change, again struggled with the pace of Augusta National's heavily contoured greens. 'I had a hard time getting the ball close to the hole,' said Woods. 'You expect certain putts to roll out, but they're not rolling out.' Watched by huge galleries, Woods made a fast start, hitting a superb approach to seven feet at the par-four first and rolling in the birdie putt as shouts of 'Watch out, Tiger's back' and 'Come on Tiger, let's go' rang out. Spieth, 21, broke the 36 hole record on Friday and is 14-under-par for the tournament, 12 strokes ahead of Woods . His only bogey came at the par-three sixth, his tee shot ending up just off the back of the green from where he had 45 feet to the flag but hit a weak chip that advanced just 20

The son of a well known nightclub owner who bragged about taking a girl's virginity in an alley is appealing his rape conviction. Luke Lazarus, a 23-year-old former private school boy, was jailed for at least three years on March 27 for raping an 18-year-old virgin in an alleyway outside his father's SOHO nightclub in Kings Cross, inner Sydney in May 2013. Lazarus hired Back Schwartz Vaughan - a liquor licensing specialist law firm, who lodged the appeal five days after the conviction, also contested the five year-maximum sentence he received, Fairfax Media reported. Scroll down for video . Luke Lazarus was sentenced on March 27 for raping an 18-year-old at his father's SOHO nightclub on May 12, 2013 . In the victim's impact statement, which was read out at court on her behalf, the woman said she will never be the same following the brutal attack. 'I thought that once I left the alleyway the pain would go away ... but it didn't,' the statement said. 'Everything that made me who I was stayed in that alleyway.' Lazarus said he thought the sex was consensual and that fact that it wasn't made him: 'absolutely sick to my stomach'. When sentencing him, Judge Sarah Huggett found the offence was not premeditated but said he was reckless. 'I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt he must have realised there was a possibility she wasn't consenting,' she told Sydney's District Court. But she said he was 'not caring in one way or another whether she was consenting'. During Luke Lazarus's rape trial, the jury were told he boasted to the victim he could introduce her to the DJ at the SOHO, before he ushered her into an alleyway . This comes as Eastern Sydney's Waverley mayor Sally Betts wrote a glowing reference for Lazarus 'out of loyalty to the family' after he raped an 18-year-old woman in an alleyway outside his father's SOHO nightclub, in Sydney. Now the controversial councillor is developing 'a new risky behaviour education program to try and help young women understand and better deal with being in vulnerable situations'. In an interview with the Wentworth Courier she referenced the behaviour of Lazarus's victim. The Mayor of three years said: 'By the sheer fact of (the assault) happening at a nightclub and alcohol is involved, (means people are) open to the possibility of risky behaviour, so I'm saying let's try and close that loophole.' Daily Mail Australia has contacted Cr Betts for comment. Cr Betts is reportedly developing the program for school girls alongside Waverley Action for Youth Services (WAYS) and the police. During Lazarus's trial, the jury was told that he boasted to the victim he could introduce her to the DJ at his father's club, the SOHO, before he ushered her into the alleyway. The court heard that during the assault he pulled her stockings down, ignored a second request by her to leave and said in an authoritative tone 'put your f***ing hands on the wall, get on the floor and arch your back'. Waverley mayor Sally Betts wrote

A man was left with a swollen and painful penis thanks to injecting himself with petroleum jelly in the hope it would make his manhood bigger. Father-of-one Szilveszter, 24, who now lives in Bolton, feared he would never be able to have more children after the DIY procedure left him unable to have sex. He said: 'I had to stop having sex with my wife as it's too painful. I would like to have more children but if I can't have sex I may lose my family. Father-of-one Szilveszter injected petroleum jelly into his penis as he wanted to make it bigger. Instead it became so swollen and inflammed, he was unable to have sex and was in constant pain . 'Every day is difficult for me as it's very painful and bleeding. This was the worst mistake in my life as I don't feel like a real man.' Hungarian born Szilveszter shares his story on the latest series of TLC show Extreme Beauty Disasters. He said he had Vaseline injected into his penis following a friend's recommendation. He explains: 'I said to my friend I want to lose weight as I think my penis is small. He said you don't need to lose weight, I can help you. My friend injected in my penis Vaseline. Afterwards I was happy as it looked bigger.' But nine months later, his penis was swollen, painful and bleeding. He went to his GP and saw other doctors but all told him there was nothing they could do. Cosmetic surgeon Dr Vik Vijh, left, said injecting Vaseline, right, into the body is a very bad idea . Szilveszter turned to Extreme Beauty Disasters resident plastic surgeon Dr Vik Vijh who said there was hope he could be cured - but it wouldn't be easy. After examining Szilveszter Dr Vijh said: 'It's not a pretty slight, it's inflammed, it's sore, it's misshapen, his penis is a disaster.' He added: 'I have been doing plastic surgery now for 20 years and I have never seen anything like this. Injecting petroleum jelly into the penis makes no sense on any level.' Dr Vijh gave Szilveszter an MRI scan which revealed the large, hard bumps around his penis had formed thanks to his body reacting to the invasion of Vaseline. Dr Vijh explained: 'Your body has formed scar tissue around the Vaseline because it's a foreign body, your body is trying to ward it off and it gives you these painful lumps, it will soon start to ulcer through the skin. 'The other problem is the foreskin is swelling and splitting - the foreskin is 15 times more swollen than should be.' After examining Szilveszter Dr Vijh said he had never seen anything like it and the only treatment would be to 'skin' the penis to get rid of the Vaseline and scar tissue . The cosmetic surgeon said the only option would be for Szilveszter to have an operation where his penis would be 'skinned' to remove the Vaseline and scar tissue. 'I have never done this before but

Summary: Szilveszter, 24, had petroleum jelly injected into penis by a friend . Told it would make him bigger . It left him swollen and in constant pain so he couldn't have sex . Cosmetic surgeon admitted 'his penis is a disaster' He needed hours of surgery in order to recover .


ALFRED HITCHCOCK . by Peter Ackroyd . (Chatto & Windus £12.99 . With this nutritious, compact and superb critical biography, Ackroyd emphasises the importance of Victorian and Edwardian London in the imagination of Alfred Hitchcock — the ‘damp-looking dirty blackness’ of the East End; the ‘manifold ruffianism’ of the Cockneys; the pubs, street markets, theatres and music halls, with their ‘variety acts, dioramas and Italian operettas’. Alfred Hitchcock (pictured) was born in 1899 in Leytonstone, East London . In addition to the gaudiness, the city was a place with dark staircases, gaslight, rain and spooky cobbled alleys: the ideal setting for murder. Hitchcock was born in 1899 in Leytonstone, East London, the son of a wholesale grocer. They were a Catholic family, Irish originally, and the boy who would become ‘one of the most distinguished directors in the world’ was educated by the Jesuits. The bullying Christian Brothers may have taught ‘the virtues of order, control and precision’, but they also instilled (with the strap) a belief in mystery and miracles. The logic and reason, coupled with a mood of anxiety, dread and paranoid suspicion, seeped into Hitchcock’s work: ‘He thought everyone was doing something physical and nasty behind every closed door’. Looking back on his schooldays, he said that, as the Jesuits had frightened him, ‘now I’m getting my own back by terrifying other people’. Hitchcock was never any oil painting. A 5 ft 7 in Humpty Dumpty, he was the neurotic fat boy with piggy eyes, who was filled with ‘lavish and peculiar’ repressed sexual fantasies. His entire oeuvre, Ackroyd suggests, was a study of voyeurism, violence and guilt with, on the one hand, the rape and murder of vulnerable women, and, on the other, the pursuit of a hero accused of crimes he did not commit. His very first work, in 1927, The Lodger, was about a man wrongly accused of being Jack The Ripper and, already, Hitchcock could whip up an atmosphere of ‘doubt and suspense’, the camera dwelling on ‘dark puddles shimmering with opalescent light’. His opening in movies began at the studios in Islington and Twickenham, where Hitchcock created the captions for silent movies and designed the title cards. Here, he met Alma Reville, whom he married in 1926. Alma was an editor who ‘emphasised the importance of smooth continuity and the subtle use of close-up’. She was thin and boyish, wearing trouser-suits tailored at Austin Reed, ‘the gentlemen’s outfitters’. The Hitchcocks lived at 153 Cromwell Road and had one daughter, Patricia. Apart from conceiving Patricia, Ackroyd assures us, Hitchcock and Alma never had sex together again. Ackroyd goes into raptures about The Lodger, which starred Ivor Novello. ‘The use of light was its music, rising in intensity, in the process creating a unique rhythm of meaning’. Would Hitchcock have seen it this way? The shower scene from Hitchcock's Psycho (Janet Leigh pictured playing Marion Crane in the film) is one of the most recognisable shots in cinematic history . When he wrote his granddaughter’s film studies essay for her, he (or she) was awarded a
