One person eager to swipe right and make a connection with Ava was a male called Brock. Scroll down for video . Tinder users attending the festival in Austin, Texas, have been left bitterly disappointed after a profile for an attractive young woman turned out to be little more than an elaborate marketing ploy for a new movie . His unusual conversation with Ava over text message was first reported by AdWeek. As Ava started to question Brock it quickly became clear that all was not what it appeared to be. Frist Ava asked Brock if he has ever been in love, then she explained that she hadn’t and asked him what it was that made him human. ‘What attracts you to me?’ asked Ava, sounding increasingly like an automated chatbot. The conversation ended with Ava telling Brock that he has ‘passed my test' and she invited him to visit her Instagram account. Unfortunately for Brock the @MeetAva account turned out to be just a promotional tool for the forthcoming sci-fi movie Ex Machina and it featured a photo and video promoting the film. The face of Ava is in fact Swedish actress Alicia Vikander, who plays an artificial intelligence in the film which is released next month and was screened at SXSW on Saturday. Spare a thought for poor Brock who was devastated at discovering that Ava wasn't real. It 'toyed with my emotions so hard,' he told AdWeek.

In this 2009 file photo, Berg addresses the media in Detroit . 'He took a bullet in the leg, but possibly spared his family from a worse outcome. All of his friends and former colleagues at the U.S. Attorney's Office are rooting and praying for him for a speedy and full recovery.' Berg, 55, was shortly shot after 9pm, and police believe that the men were either trying to rob him or make their way into his home. Berg's wife, Anita Sevier, says he will undergo surgery later Friday and that his injury isn't life-threatening. Nobody has been arrested in the shooting and the case has been turned over to the FBI. If Berg was targeted by the men because he is a judge they will face federal charges. The 55-year-old has been a judge for two years, and his court is in Flint. Berg served as a federal prosecutor for two decades, including briefly as head of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Detroit. He was nominated to the position in April 2012 by President Barack Obama.

The two men charged with allegedly planning to carry out a brutal terrorist attack in Sydney will plead not guilty. Omar Al-Kutobi, 24, and Mohammad Kiad, 25, were charged with planning to commit a terrorist act in February, allegedly hours before they planned to carry out the attack. Police allegedly seized a machete, a hunting knife, a homemade Islamic State flag and a video recording that detailed their planned attack. However, criminal lawyer Adam Houda - who is representing the men - said the video was 'not convincing', according to the Sydney Morning Herald. Scroll down for video . Criminal lawyer Adam Houda tells media of his clients plans to plead not guilty to terror charges . 'The matter will be defended, there will be a plea of not guilty,' Mr Houda said . Mohammad Kiad, 25 (right), and his Iraqi born housemate Omar Al-Kutobi, 24 (left), were arrested on terror charges in their shared squalid granny flat at Fairfield on Tuesday . 'The matter will be defended, there will be a plea of not guilty,' Mr Houda said outside court. 'From what I've seen the central feature of this case is this video. 'I've seen the video and it's not convincing.' 'Mr Houda also the trial had been prejudiced by Tony Abbott, who read out details of that video in Parliament. 'He wants to milk this situation politically for all it's worth,' Mr Houda told media in February. 'The unfortunate result is that it will also bring unfair prejudice to the matters before the court and also undermine the court process.' The case will return to court in May. When the men were first in court, Commonwealth DPP prosecutor Kay Marenos said the brief of evidence against the men was four pages long 'but that is likely to change' and included photographs and a short video. Facebook pictures of Kiad, who immigrated to Australia from Kuwait in 2009, revealed his fashion interest and showed him sporting expensive watches and suits as well as making some strange fashion statements . A keen weight-lifter, the 25-year-old removalist also shared selfies of himself at the gym . Mr Kiad entered Australia in 2012, where he had worked as a nurse - but when he arrived in Australia he found he could not transfer his skills. He was granted a visa under the family and spousal visa arrangements and recently took up a job as a removalist but was fired and was on the dole at the time of his arrest, it has been reported. Attorney-General George Brandis told parliament on Wednesday: 'Significantly, police also located a video recording of one suspect kneeling in front of an ISIL (IS) flag, with the knife and machete, making a politically-motivated statement, threatening to undertake violent acts with those weapons.' A Sydney police station and officers on the street were revealed to have been the the targets with attacks scheduled for just before midnight on Tuesday, Channel Nine reported.

Arnold Palmer brought the house down when he held court on Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods at the scene of his own tournament, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, on Wednesday. After paying world No 1 McIlroy a warm tribute and expressing his delight that he had come to play in the event for the first time, the King was asked about Tiger’s absence, and the fact they supposedly spoke for an hour on the phone. Palmer gave the questioner a quizzical look and replied: ‘An hour?

A boy suffered multiple seizures after overdosing on liquorice sweets. The 10-year-old boy was admitted to hospital in Bologna, Italy, after suffering a seizure. Hours later, doctors reported he suffered another three seizures. He also complained of a bad headache and had high blood pressure. He appeared to be suffering from posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), a condition characterized by headache, confusion, seizures and visual loss. A 10-year-old boy suffered four seizures which doctors found was due to his habit of eating 20 liquorice sweets a day for four months . But doctors were baffled as CT and MRI scans ruled out all the major condition that lead to PRES. During a medical examination a week later doctors noticed that the boy’s teeth were black. It transpired that he had been eating at least 20 liquorice sweets each day for the past four months. This mean he was consuming of 2.88 mg/kg of glycyrrhizin or glycyrrhizic acid, one of the active ingredients of liquorice. That volume is well above the World Health OrganiSation’s recommended maximum of 2 mg/kg. This excessive consumption had resulted in his development of high blood pressure, and in turn PRES. After the boy stopped eating the sweets, his treatment was gradually reduced and his blood pressure returned to normal. In light of the case, doctors are now calling for a recommended daily amount to be printed clearly on sweets packets as a safety measures. Last year, MailOnline reported on the story of Keith Ballantine, 68, who was struck down with a rare nerve condition which left him unable to move after eating too many liquorice allsorts . The risk of PRES risk is particularly high for children with a low body weight, Dr Davide Tassinari and colleagues from the University of Bologna, Italy, said. The case was published in Pediatric Neurology. In the past, the US' Food and Drug Administration has warned black liquorice can lead to irregular heartbeats, and other health problems when consumed by adults in large quantities. The glycyrrhizin causes the kidneys to excrete potassium, and low levels of the compound can make the heart beat dangerously fast or irregularly. Glycyrrhizin also leads to salt and water retention which can be a problem for people with heart failure or high blood pressure, it said. Other studies have shown glycyrrhizinc can increase blood pressure or cause muscle weakness and chronic fatigue. Research has also suggested it can lower testosterone levels in men, affecting their mood and libido. The news comes after MailOnline reported on the story of a grandfather who developed a rare nerve condition which left him unable to move, after eating too many liquorice allsorts. Keith Ballantine, 68, was struck down with Guillain-Barre Syndrome after consuming too many of the sweets. They gave him an upset stomach and doctors believe the antibodies he produced to fight the bug caused his body to react badly - and Mr Ballantine then developed the deadly nerve disease. Within weeks, he was completely paralysed – and he only managed to relearn to walk again a year later.

Summary: Boy was admitted to hospital in Italy and suffered four seizures . Was suffering from posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) Doctors were baffled as scans ruled out all usual major causes of PRES . His teeth were black so they found he had been eating masses of liquorice . Had consumed double the recommended daily amount of glycyrrhizin . Doctors now calling for safety warning to be printed on sweet packets .


A British Airways pilot threatened to kill himself by crashing a jumbo jet five years before the Germanwings disaster in the French Alps last week. Robert Brown killed his wife in a horrific attack with a claw hammer, and the next day he considered deliberately crashing his Boeing 747 in order to 'make a statement'. Now his victim's family say they fear that airlines have not learned from the case and are not making enough effort to assess whether pilots are genuinely fit to fly. Scroll down for video . Parallels: Robert Brown, left, threatened to crash a plane full of passengers just like Andreas Lubitz, right . Victim: Brown killed his estranged wife Joanna, pictured, by repeatedly hitting her with a claw hammer . Brown's case has chilling parallels to that of Andreas Lubitz, who last week flew a plane into the Alps, killing 150 people, after suffering from depression. He had told BA that he was suffering from stress as a result of his divorce from wife Joanna, and consulted his GP about his illness, but carried on working anyway. In October 2010, Brown argued with his wife while dropping off their two children at her home in Ascot, Berkshire, and hit her 14 times with a claw hammer. He then buried her body in Windsor Great Park - but he told his murder trial that he had considered crashing a plane the next day after being harassed by Joanna's lawyers. 'I thought something needs to be done,' Brown said. 'I thought I want to fly one last time and crash the aircraft. I wanted them to be held accountable. 'I thought if I got to work I could crash an aircraft, or fly to Lagos and crash it there or hang myself in the hotel room. I wanted to make a statement.' Sporty: Brown, a British Airways pilot, is pictured on a long-distance run in BA-branded kit . Warning: Joanna's mother Diana Parkes, right, says airlines should have learned from the case . Instead, he called in sick and another pilot stepped in to fly the BA jumbo jet to Nigeria. Brown was arrested later the same day, and subsequently convicted of manslaughter and jailed for 26 years. Joanna's mother, Diana Parkes, told the Daily Telegraph that following the case airlines should ahve done more to ensure that pilots cannot endanger their passengers. She said: 'Robert Brown's claim in court that he planned to ditch a commercial flight the day after he killed her was chilling to hear, and yet there has never been any acknowledgement from British Airways that lessons can be learnt from that.' The victim's best friend Hetti Barkworth-Nanton said that there were 'chilling similarities' between Brown's case and that of Lubitz, who were both fitness fanatics. Brown told his BA bosses that he was feeling stressed out, but they did not follow up the conversation to check that he was in a fit mental state to fly, she said. Plane: Brown had been due to fly a British Airways Boeing 747 similar to this one

Louis van Gaal arrived at his press conference on Thursday apologising for still being in what he called his 'work clothes'. That, however, transpired to the least of his worries. Soon after, he was embroiled in what we can politely describe as a lively exchange about the nature of his relationship with his assistant Ryan Giggs. Pictures of a rather underwhelmed Giggs at St James' Park on Wednesday and some quotes from his old friend Paul Scholes had given weight earlier in the day to some recent chatter about the United icon's thoughts on Van Gaal's style of play and indeed his own future. Louis van Gaal was not best pleased after his relationship with Ryan Giggs was questioned . Giggs did not respond to Van Gaal's in-your-face celebrations after United's late win against Newcastle . The Manchester United boss gave a tetchy press conference ahead of Monday's FA Cup clash with Arsenal . And then there was the Jonny Evans issue. Caught on film spitting towards the ground during a clash with Newcastle centre forward Papiss Cisse, the United central defender now stands accused – rightly or wrongly - of one of the most frowned upon acts in sport. All in all, it was another challenging day at the office for United's manager. No wonder his mood was rather spiky. 'No, we have a very bad relationship,' said Van Gaal of Giggs, rather sarcastically. 'I'm very irritated because of this question. 'Everyone can see we have a very good relationship and work very hard together, not only Ryan Giggs but all the staff and players. 'This [your question] is a way of suggesting things. 'So now I am very irritated and I take my message against the media. I'm not pleased. 'I think 90 per cent [of everything you say] is not happening.'

The former Holland manager laughs from the dugout at St James' Park while his No 2 remains stony faced . Giggs (2nd left) did not appear to join in his manager's celebrations after United's late victory at Newcastle . Images of Giggs failing to join Van Gaal's celebrations after Ashley Young's 89th minute goal at St James Park on Wednesday were certainly peculiar. So, too, were quotes from Scholes on TV before kick-off. 'There's no doubt, he had that little taste of it for the last three weeks of last year and he definitely wants to be a manager,' Scholes told BT Sport. 'You can see that. Over the next two or three years, will he have the patience to be a No 2 for that long? I'm not sure he will.' Giggs is reportedly angry after former team-mate Paul Scholes (right) questioned his contentment at United . Giggs is understood to have been non-plussed by David Moyes' style of play at Manchester United . The United icon took

Apple and Samsung made bets on fingerprint scanning for their flagship phones but Fujitsu is taking a different route. The Japanese firm has developed an iris authentication system that unlocks a smartphone screen by scanning your eyes. And its prototype can be used to log into Facebook, email or other web services. Scroll down for video . Japanese firm Fujitsu has developed an iris authentication system that unlocks a smartphone screen by scanning your eyes. The prototype (pictured) can be used to log into Facebook, email or other web services . The demo of the prototype is on display at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. ‘Fujitsu’s new authentication method uses iris recognition, which is hard to forge and convenient to use,’ the firm told MailOnline. ‘The screen can be unlocked simply by looking at it, which eliminates the trouble of having to use [your] hands when wearing gloves and can’t use a fingerprint.’ The end of the password? For its prototype (demo pictured), Fujitsu has built a miniature scanner so it fits on the front of a smartphone.It recognises the pattern by shining an infrared LED light on the sensor onto the eyes and taking a picture of the patten with the infrared camera . Fujitsu has developed a ‘custom compact and high-output infrared LED’, and a custom infrared camera. Movements of the smooth muscle of the iris make the eye’s openings larger or smaller, which in turn adjusts the amount of light that enters the retina . These were combined with Fujitsu’s camera controller technology and biometric-authentication technology. It identifies a person by scanning the pattern of their iris. The pattern doesn’t change significantly after the age of two, and it is difficult to injure its surface and difficult to forge. Movements of the smooth muscle of the iris make the eye’s openings larger or smaller, which in turn adjusts the amount of light that enters the retina. For its prototype, Fujitsu has built a miniature scanner so it fits on the front of a smartphone. It recognises the pattern by shining an infrared LED light on the sensor into the eyes and taking a picture of the pattern with the infrared camera. This pattern is registered and linked to the user. Each time they look at their phone, the sensor scans their eye, matches it with the stored image and unlocks the device. ‘The system can reliably authenticate the detailed patterns of the iris and that can be used in most everyday situations,’ a spokesman for Fujitsu told MaiOnline . ‘This can be used at a normal smartphone viewing distance, rather than within the 10cm range most existing iris recognition systems require. ‘And in safety testing, the infrared LED light was verified to be safe for the eyes.’ The pattern on a person's iris doesn’t change significantly after the age of two, and it is difficult to injure its surface and difficult to forge. Here a diagram shows how infra red scanning is used to identify a person . Iris authentication is a type of biometric authentication, similar to fingerprint

Hillary Clinton used only a personal email address to conduct official government business during her four-year tenure as Secretary of State in a 'serious' breach of protocol, officials have said. The 67-year-old former first lady did not acquire nor use a government email account while serving in the position from January 2009 to February 2013, State Department officials said. She also failed to preserve her correspondence on the State Department's servers - something that is required of officials under the US Federal Records Act - until two months ago. And even then, her aides allegedly decided which of her tens of thousands of personal emails to hand over to the department in Washington D.C.'s Harry S. Truman Building for the public record. They ultimately chose to release 55,000 pages of correspondence as she stepped down from the role in 2013, the New York Times reported. Scroll down for video . 'Unsecured emails': Hillary Clinton used only a personal email address to conduct government business during her four-year tenure as Secretary of State in a 'serious' breach of protocol, officials have claimed . On Monday, Jeb Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell told DailyMail.com: 'Hillary Clinton should release her emails. Hopefully she hasn't already destroyed them. Governor Bush believes transparency is a critical part of public service and of governing.' The Florida governor, who is seeking the Republican nomination for president in 2016, added on Twitter: 'Transparency matters. Unclassified @HillaryClinton emails should be released. You can see mine, here. http://jebbushemails.com.' National Archives and Records Administration officials and government watchdogs have expressed concern over Mrs Clinton's 'extensive' use of a private account, deeming it 'insecure'. On Monday, Jason R Baron, ex-director of litigation at NARA, told the newspaper that such a situation was 'inconceivable' - particularly in relation to a Secretary of State's correspondence. 'It is very difficult to conceive of a scenario - short of nuclear winter - where an agency would be justified in allowing its cabinet-level-head officer to solely use a private email communications channel for the conduct of government business,' he said. Mr Baron, now a lawyer at Drinker Biddle and Reath, added that although Mrs Clinton is not the first official to use a personal email address for business matters, her sole use of it is unusual.

A school assistant who barricaded young children inside a classroom before stripping naked and fighting with staff did it because she thought Satan was outside, her lawyers said today. Linda Lira, 31, is facing four years in jail after she was arrested at Lemon Grove Academy in San Diego yesterday for locking a group of nine to 11-year-olds into a classroom. Police initially thought Lira, who is from San Diego, had taken hallucinogenic drugs, but tests came back negative and her lawyers now say she was trying to protect the children from demons. Linda Lira, 31, was arrested yesterday after locking a group of nine to 11-year-olds into a classroom, then fighting with school staff as they tried to free the youngsters, while 'undressing and dressing repeatedly' Police initially thought Lira, who is facing four years behind bars, had taken drugs, but test came back negative and her lawyers now say she locked the room because she thought demons were outside . The strange incident began in a classroom at Lemon Grove yesterday at around 4pm when Lira began 'acting bizarre' before locking herself and a group of students inside a room. One child was slapped an two others pushed to the floor when they tried to escape, suffering minor injuries, as Lira began barricading the door. The quick-thinking youngsters used Lira's unguarded campus radio to call for help, and when other staff arrived and broke into the room, Lira began fighting with them. The children managed to slip out of the room, leaving Lira behind, at which point she began 'undressing and dressing repeatedly', according to one Sheriff's Deputy. She was initially arrested for 14 counts each of child endangerment and false imprisonment, but this was later revised to three charges of false imprisonment and one of resisting arrest. The incident happened yesterday at Lemon Grove Academy (pictured). Lawyers say they are still trying to piece together exactly what happened, but think the breakdown was triggered by something in Lira's past . Today defense attorney Corey Wlodarczyk said Lira had suffered a 'breakdown' inside the classroom, telling NBC 7 that she 'suffers from emotional issues'. While Mr Wlodarczyk said he is still trying to piece together exactly what happened, he said the behavior was 'uncharacteristic' of Lira, and was likely triggered by something in her past. He added that Lira was scared, having never been arrested before, and said she was taking her ordeal 'one day at a time'. The suspect’s sister, Cathy Lira, said her sibling had been making some strange comments about Lucifer and warriors guarding her in recent weeks, but declined to say more. Lira was initially being held on bail of $2.1million, but that has now been cut to $500,000 after prosecutors dropped charges.

Summary: Linda Lira, 31, arrested at Lemon Grove Academy, San Diego, yesterday . Began 'acting bizarre' before locking children aged nine to 11 into room . When staff arrived and broke in she fought them, then stripped naked . Lawyers today said she was trying to protect the children from demons .


A judge on Tuesday ordered jurors in the Jodi Arias case to keep deliberating after her lawyers said the panel had reached an impasse on whether to sentence her to death or life in prison for killing her lover in 2008. Arias, now 34, was convicted of first-degree murder in 2013 after a lengthy trial that became a sensation with its tawdry revelations about her relationship with victim Travis Alexander. That jury deadlocked on her punishment. Authorities said Alexander, 30, was found dead in the shower of his Mesa home after Arias shot him in the forehead and slit his throat so deeply that he was nearly decapitated. On Tuesday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Sherry Stephens denied a request by Arias' attorneys for a mistrial and instead read additional jury instructions to the jury in her sentencing retrial. The jury had deliberated about 17 hours over four days. Scroll down for video . Deadlocked: A lawyer for Jodi Arias says jurors at her sentencing retrial are at an impasse over whether to sentence the convicted murderer to life in prison or death for the 2008 killing of her lover. Arias is seen here in court on February 24 . Defense attorney Kirk Nurmi pleaded for Arias' (pictured with defense attorney Jennifer Willmott) life during his closing arguments last Tuesday, saying she was physically and emotionally abused by Alexander . Defense attorney Kirk Nurmi said in court that jurors were at an impasse, though the judge and prosecutor Juan Martinez never confirmed that in open court. Jurors posed two questions to Stephens, who didn't reveal details. The judge and lawyers held closed-door discussions shortly before jurors were brought into the courtroom. Stephens told them that she didn't intend to force a verdict and said in her instructions that jurors shouldn't weigh evidence based on the views of other jurors. If the current jury can't decide on a sentence, the death penalty would be removed as an option and the judge would decide if Arias serves life in prison or gets a chance for release after 25 years. Last week, Nurmi pleaded Arias' life, saying she was physically and emotionally abused as a child and by former boyfriend Alexander. Nurmi said Alexander was a conflicted Mormon, who used Arias to satisfy his sexual desires and called her 'soulless'. 'Those words have impact and they got to her,' Nurmi said. Arias cried as prosecutor Juan Martinez displayed gruesome autopsy photographs of Alexander on a large screen during his closing argument. Arias cried as prosecutor Juan Martinez (pictured during closing arguments on Feb 24) displayed gruesome autopsy photographs of Alexander on a large screen during his closing argument and called Arias a liar .

Atletico Madrid's comedown from being seconds away from winning last season's Champions League final only to concede in the 90th minute and finish up losing 4-1 will reach a new low on Tuesday night if they go out of this year's tournament at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen. Coach Diego Simeone is counting on the spirit that got them to last year's showpiece in Lisbon to pull them through and for the Mario Mandzukic Antoine Griezmann parternship that produced 14 goals and eight assists in January and February before hitting something of a wall in March to fire them into the last eight. If those two fail he will have to call on Fernando Torres who insisted in an interview in El Pais on the eve of the game that he did feel part of Chelsea's Champions League success in 2012. Diego Simeone has called on the home support to lift his side as they attempt to come from behind . Atletico Madrid have not been at their best of late, but need to bounce back against Bayer Leverkusen . He said: 'I had made some important contributions. I scored in the semi-final against Barcelona and I come on for the last eight minutes of normal time against Bayern in the final and I think I played my part in the comeback. I am very proud to have won the Champions League.' He would dearly love to repeat his success for Chelsea with a repeat run to the final for his hometown club but Atletico have given themselves a difficult job after a poor first leg performance that ended with Bayern Leverkusen winning 1-0. The failure to find an away goal three weeks ago makes them outsiders tonight despite the battle cry from Simeone that there should not even be so much as a minute of quiet in the Vicente Calderon before and during the game. Sergio Ramos' 90th minute header denied Atletico their first ever Champions League title last summer . Carlo Ancelotti, rather than Diego Simeone, was left to lift the famous trophy in Lisbon . Simeone has never won a knockout tie after losing the first leg, but must turn that around on Tuesday . Despite the motivational magic of Atletico's charismatic manager, the Argentine has never over-turned a first leg deficit since he has been at the club. Under his stewardship Atletico have won 16 of 19 knockout matches but the three times they have suffered first leg defeats they have been eliminated. The coach's biggest concern will be that in the pusuit of goals they will concede. They have gone five Champions League games without letting in a goal but there are cracks appearing in their defence. Karim Bellarabi, Hakan Calhanoglu and Son Heung-min will provide a serious test for out of sorts holding midfielder Gabi, veteran right-back Jesus Gamez – filing in at left-back in the absence of any better alternative – and central defensive partnership of Jose Gimenez and Miranda forced on Simeone through Diego Godin's suspension. Around 1,300 supporters have travelled from Germany to

It's deja vu all over again for Arsenal in the Champions League. Tuesday night's brave but preventable Champions League exit against Monaco was the fifth time in a row Arsene Wenger has been knocked out at the last-16 stage. And once again it was the first leg that cost him. Arsenal were knocked out in France on away goals, a 2-0 away win failing to make up for a catastrophic 3-1 loss at The Emirates. Their players know the history. 'We say same thing every year,’ complained defender Laurent Koscielny. 'Our first game is catastrophic. We have to put it right - play well in two games.' Arsene Wenger vents his frustration on the sideline as Arsenal fall a goal short in their 2-0 win over Monaco . Aaron Ramsey made an immediate impact off the bench and scored but couldn't help the Gunners advance . Monaco celebrate advancing to the Champions League quarter finals as Arsenal fall again in the last 16 . Aaron Ramsey concurred: ‘We’ve always gone out to Bayern Munich and Barcelona at this stage but no disrespect to Monaco, we thought we’d have a good opportunity to qualify. But we gave ourselves a tough test from the first leg. It’s nearly again, but it’s not enough.’ After losing 4-3 on aggregate to Barcelona in 2011 – beating them 2-1 in the first leg before losing 3-1 at the Nou Camp - Arsenal's first leg travails have hurt them every 12 months. Andrey Arshavin is ecstatic after scoring the winner for Arsenal in their 2011 first leg win over Barcelona . Lionel Messi is swamped by his Barcelona team-mates as his penalty wins their place in the 2011 quarters . Barca overcame the 2-1 loss to Arsenal in the first leg to defeat the Gunners and advance with a 3-1 victory . 2012 . AC Milan 4 Arsenal 0; Arsenal 3 AC Milan 0 . (AC Milan win 4-3 on aggregate) Arsenal were a shambles in the San Siro as Kevin-Prince Boateng, Robinho (two) and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (from the penalty spot) tore them apart. Incredibly, Arsene Wenger's men clawed back three of the goals in the first half at The Emirates through Laurent Koscielny, Tomas Rosicky and Robin van Persie (penalty) but still couldn't force extra-time with Robin van Persie missing from close range. Where did it all go wrong? Fans will remember the Van Persie miss (perhaps coloured by the player's subsequent exit), but it was the mental collapse in the first leg that cost Arsenal. The first goal was spectacular, if avoidable, but the other three were brutally poor defending. Against a decent, but not world-beating attack, the likes of Johan Djourou proved they didn't belong. Kevin-Prince Boateng laces in the opener as AC Milan demolish Arsenal 4-0 in their last-16 first leg in 2012 . Zlatan Ibrahimovic put the icing on the cake from the penalty spot after two goal from Robinho . Arsenal fell short in the return leg at The Emirates with Laurent Koscielny, Tomas Rosicky and Robin van Persie (penalty) striking .

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has denied a Football Association charge of improper conduct in last week's draw at Hull. The 47-year-old was sent to the stands after a confrontation with Tigers' manager Steve Bruce as the two Premier League strugglers played out a 1-1 draw at the KC Stadium on March 3. Gus Poyet and Steve Bruce argue during their two sides' clash on Wednesday evening at the KC Stadium . The FA charged Poyet whilst Bruce was contacted to be reminded of his responsibilities and it is now believed Poyet will contest the charge and has requested a personal hearing. The draw left Hull and Sunderland in 16th and 17th place respectively, with the result doing little to help either side boost their survival hopes. Both face fellow relegation candidates in their next game as Hull travel to Leicester and Poyet's Sunderland welcome Aston Villa to the Stadium of Light. Bruce (left) had to be held back by the linesman as the row between the pair escalated . The two men argued after Sunderland midfielder Jack Rodwell was booked for simulation .

It may not be James Bond’s iconic amphibious Lotus, but suave millionaires can dive the depths of the ocean in their own two-seater submarine, which resembles a Ferrari. The diminutive sub can dive to depths of up to 300ft (91 metres) so passengers can look at fish while staying dry and is small enough to be stowed on a yacht.

Pot-smoking country singer Willie Nelson has been accused of stealing a marijuana-inspired song and passing it off as his own. Songwriter Ashley Wilson claims she and her late partner 'Uncle' Mark Reynolds wrote Nelson's Number One hit 'Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die' a quarter of a century ago. And now they want Nelson to give up all his profits from the song, which topped the charts for the 81-year-old country outlaw in 2012, when he sang it along with other famous marijuana users Snoop Dogg, Kris Kristofferson and country star Jamey Johnson. Wilson, 45, has filed a federal lawsuit in her native Georgia, claiming copyright infringement against Nelson, four men listed as the hit's songwriters and a slew of record companies. Lighting up: A well known pothead, Wiilie first recorded Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die in 2012. It topped the charts for the 81-year-old country outlaw in 2012, when he sang it along with other famous marijuana users Snoop Dogg, Kris Kristofferson and country star Jamey Johnson . Songwriter Ashley Wilson claims she and her late partner 'Uncle' Mark Reynolds wrote Nelson's Number One hit a quarter of a century ago. The suit points to versions of the song posted on YouTube. In one, Reynolds, who died in 2004 aged 44, says he wrote the song for his mother. 'She called and asked me one day, your father and I are filling out some paperwork and she said there's a clause in there, "if you die before we do." So I went and thought about this thing and I dealt with it the only way I could and that was in a song." Wilson, who lives in Woodstock, Georgia, claims she and Reynolds, who sang as a duet called Ashley and Mark, recorded the song on an album released on cassette in 1990. She did not return calls from Daily Mail Online. In the suit, Wilson says Reynolds 'likely' knew John Colgin, one of the four songwriters named in the suit, and listed as having written Nelson's version. She says Colgin lived at the time in Roswell, Georgia, just 14 miles from Reynolds' home in Woodstock. Though the lyrics of the two versions are different, Wilson said they 'contain the same title and dominant line in the chorus…with substantially similar melody, rhythm and cadence, as well as substantially similar lyrical themes.' Ashley Wilson and the estate of Mark Reynolds are suing Willie for copyright infringement . Willie poses after the unveiling of his statue at ACL Live in Austin, Texas. He released the single Roll Me Up on April 20 2012 — a significant day for pot smokers as 420 is slang for cannabis . Nelson's version includes the lines 'Now you won't see no sad and teary eyes when I get my wings and it's my time to fly. Call my friends and tell 'em there's a party, come on by. Now just roll me up and smoke me when I die. The Reynolds/Wilson version lyrics say: 'Now don't you sit around a-weeping,

Drones have been banned from parks near Buckingham Palace and other senior Royals’ homes amid fears they could be used by spies or would-be terrorists. The remote-controlled aircraft cannot be used in any of the open spaces near the Queen’s London residence. Signs have gone up in every Royal park across the capital warning: ‘The flying of drones or model aircraft in the park is prohibited.’ Ban: The new signs (pictured) forbidding the use of drones or model aircraft in the Royal Parks in London . Their proximity to historic buildings, including Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace, has prompted speculation that the gadgets pose a risk to the Royal Family’s security. But a Royal Parks spokesman insisted the signs could also be found far away from palaces, including Richmond Park and Greenwich Park. He said: ‘They can have a very negative impact on the wildlife in the parks and interfere with the safety and comfort of park visitors.’ Insiders say there have already been ‘a handful of incidents’ involving drones inside London’s biggest parks. Just before Christmas a man was given a warning after flying a drone over the Winter Wonderland fairground inside Hyde Park, while videos posted online show tourists flying drones, most of which carry high-definition cameras, close to landmarks including Buckingham Palace. Insiders say there have already been ‘a handful of incidents’ involving drones inside London’s biggest parks . An image of Buckingham Palace taken using a drone and uploaded to Youtube in 2013 by its pilot . Last week, The Mail on Sunday revealed that the Metropolitan Police – who are responsible for security in the Royal Parks – want the power to seize unmanned aircraft being flown illegally. Drones are already banned from the parks, under existing legislation that prohibits the use of ‘any kite or model aircraft’. Under aviation law, it is also illegal to fly them within 50m (164ft) of a building or person.

Bernie Ecclestone has suggested next year's German Grand Prix could also fall by the wayside just days after this season's race was officially dropped from the Formula One calendar. As per their contract, Hockenheim is scheduled to host the event in 2016, but at this early stage F1 supremo Ecclestone is uncertain whether it will go ahead. Asked whether he could confirm it would take place, Ecclestone, speaking to a select media group in the paddock at the Malaysian Grand Prix, replied: 'No.' Bernie Ecclestone (left) says German Grand Prix may miss out on the Formula One calendar next year . Informed that Hockenheim has a contract for 2016 and 2018, Ecclestone added: 'It doesn't make a difference. A lot of people have a contract.' Ecclestone intimated if Germany was unable to afford the race this year, then it will struggle to pay the hosting fee next season. The Nurburgring was scheduled to host the race in July, but due to numerous financial difficulties behind the scenes was ultimately forced to withdraw. Ecclestone then turned to Hockenheim to step in and fill the void, but negotiations broke down and time ran out as circuit officials believed they did not have ample time to promote and sell tickets. Hockenheim and Nurburgring have hosted the German Grand Prix for the past seven years . 'The trouble in Germany was the Nurburgring spent an awful lot of money which they borrowed,' added Ecclestone. 'They didn't need to spend what they spent, and therefore didn't need to borrow the amount they borrowed. 'They forgot to pay it back, and that caused a few ripples. It sent a bad message.' Ecclestone didn't confirm if Hockenheim would host next year's race despite having a contract in place . Historic European races are now fast falling away with France, San Marino and now Germany losing their place on the calendar in recent times. Italy is another that will struggle to pay its way beyond the expiry of its current contract in 2016 unless national government steps in to assist, or Ecclestone reduces his fees. Asked whether he was prepared to see F1's European heartland wither away, Ecclestone said: 'There are lots of things we all would like, but we don't have them because we can't afford them.' Suggested to Ecclestone 'if Monza goes, it goes', he said: 'Whatever goes, goes.' The Formula One supremo said Hockenheim having a contract in place 'doesn't make a difference' Ecclestone did concede, however, 'it would be terrible' if Europe did lose all its races, particularly as the series would no longer become a world championship. Many people believe Ecclestone's hosting fees are too steep, which in turn prompts promoters to charge extortionate ticket prices, leading to reduced numbers through the turnstiles. Hockenheim, for instance, saw its audience plummet from more than 100,000 in 2012 to just 60,000 in 2014, despite Sebastian Vettel being a four-time world champion at that stage and Mercedes dominating last year. 'Probably right,' said Ecclestone, regarding comments about over-charging. 'But the teams get 62 per cent of whatever profit

Summary: The German Grand Prix was axed from this year's Formula One calendar . Hockenheim officials failed to agree a deal to host July's scheduled race . Bernie Ecclestone says German Grand Prix may miss out next year too . Italy is also at risk when its current contract expires in 2016 .


It was all's well that ends well for this young elephant after it fell into a mud pit in Kenya. After wallowing in the dank ditch for up to 12 hours, these images and video capture the dramatic moment a digger saved the large mammal from a trunkful of trouble in a heroic rescue mission. The heart-rending rescue took place near Makindu in southern Kenya, where local farmers were shocked to find the distressed male elephant desperately trying to escape from a deep mud pit. Scroll down for video . The digger gets to work to save the stricken elephant after he got stuck in the well in Chyulu Hills National Park, southern Kenya . The young mammal was stuck wallowing in the dank ditch for up to 12 hours before he was able to make its way out of the muddy water . This is the moment the elephant made its break for safety, after the digger was able to create a gentle slope out of the heavy clay . Unable to help the large mammal climb the steep clay sides, wildlife conservationists enlisted the aid of a heroic construction company, who used their digger to plough the elephant to safety. Conservation scientist and wildlife photographer Jeremy Goss, 30, was on the scene to capture these dramatic photos and video footage of the courageous rescue on farmland bordering Chyulu Hills National Park. He said: 'It was heartbreaking to see the elephant in the well, particularly because the community had not been very keen or able to help it out. 'Elephants raid their crops and are generally not welcome, but it was a shocking sight for them nonetheless.' It is believed the young African elephant, which can weigh up to seven tonnes, the same weight as a London double decker bus, had been trapped in the murky sludge for up to 12 hours after it fell in the well while taking a drink. The elephant was thought to be searching for water in the area, which is experiencing an unusually intense dry period, when it discovered the man-made drinking well on farmland bordering the park, near the town of Makindu. Local farmers were shocked to find the male elephant desperately trying to escape from a deep mud pit he had been trying to drink from . The rescue took place near the town of Makindu. Conservation scientist and wildlife photographer Jeremy Goss, 30, captured what happened . The elephant was thought to be searching for water in an area of southern Kenya which is experiencing an unusually intense dry period . The young elephant appears to make a plea for help with his trunk (left), through which he was at least able to breath while he was stuck (right) Wildlife conservationists and park rangers from The Kenya Wildlife Service and Big Life Foundation were quick to the scene to help excavate the animal from its muddy prison. After it became clear there was no way for wildlife rangers to break the slippery bank, it was left to a digger from Chinese company

Summary: Images capture dramatic moment the mammal bounded to safety after being stuck in the dank well for 12 hours . Chyulu Hills National Park near the town of Makindu in southern Kenya was the scene for the rescue . Young African elephant was desperate for a drink in an area which is experiencing an unusually intense dry period . Digger was able to carve out a gentle slope the heavy clay up which the elephant could make his escape .


CDC officials have arrived at a Louisiana research center to try to determine how at least seven monkeys became exposed to a deadly bacteria used in bioweapons. Three of the monkeys had to be euthanized after showing signs of the bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei, which was being studied in a secure lab in another part of the 500-acre Tulane National Primate Research Center, USA Today reported. Despite thorough investigations by authorities, the cause of the contamination is still unknown. Questions also remain over how far the bacteria, which is primarily found in southeast Asia and northeast Australia, has spread around the complex and surrounding areas. Concerns: Monkeys at the Tulane National Primate Research Center in Louisiana were exposed to a potentially deadly bacteria last fall - but authorities still do not know how or why it happened . Reach: Worryingly, the center is close to a river (top left), homes and a school. Although there are no signs that surrounding areas have been exposed to the bacteria, further tests are required . Animals pass it in their urine and feces - potentially contaminating the ground and water around them - and others can become infected through direct contact with the contaminated areas. The bacteria may not cause an illness until days or years after the exposure, but the illness can be fatal in humans and animals. The monkeys, rhesus macaques, had access to massive outdoor primate breeding cages, where around 4,000 macaques are kept. It is not yet known if the bacteria have colonized in the cages. Worryingly, the research center is just half a mile from a school and surrounded by homes. And only yards behind the facility, there is a river that leads to a lake surrounded by wildlife refuges. The contaminated primates were all at the center's veterinary hospital at the same time last fall, leading to speculation that they could have been exposed there. Infected: At least seven rhesus macaques (file picture) have shown signs of exposure and three have died . Potentially deadly: Burkholderia pseudomallei . The bacteria, Burkholderia pseudomallei, can cause a potentially serious disease in people and animals called melioidosis. Melioidosis commonly involves the lungs and has a range of symptoms including fever, headache, appetite loss, muscle and joint pain. The illness may not develop for days to years. It is often mistaken as pneumonia or tuberculosis, and if left untreated, it is fatal. Several countries have looked into using the bacteria as a bioweapon because strains can be resistant to multiple antibiotics. The overall mortality rate is 40 per cent but in Thailand, where the bacteria is endemic, it is up to 50 per cent. The bacteria, which is primarily found in southeast Asia and northeast Australia, has never been found in nature in the U.S. Last week, tests by the CDC determined two further monkeys showed signs of contracting the bacteria, bring the number of infected monkeys to seven. The CDC will now be looking at safety and health practices at the veterinary hospital, the agency said. Richard Ebright, a biosafety expert from Rutgers

Summary: At least seven rhesus macaques at the Tulane National Primate Research Center have been exposed to the potentially deadly bacteria . They were exposed even though the bacterium was being studied in a secure lab in another part of the 500-acre research complex . Initial tests indicate that it has not spread to surrounding areas - which include a school and homes - but further tests are required . The potentially deadly bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei, is not found in the U.S. and can be contracted through contact with contaminated areas .

Scientists wanting to develop a spacecraft carrying a nuclear device to blow up asteroids are preparing to seek funding this year. Called the Hyper Velocity Asteroid Impact Vehicle (HAIV), their system would be able to launch and reach an Earth-bound asteroid within 100 days or so, destroying it before it reached our planet. But the unmanned spacecraft relies on one crucial aspect - tracking and finding an asteroid, before it is too late to stop it impacting Earth. Scroll down for video . Boom! A Danish NGO is planning to develop an Earth-saving spacecraft called the Hyper Velocity Asteroid Impact Vehicle (HAIV). In the diagram above, NED stands for nuclear explosive device. The front of the spacecraft would create a small crater, which the nuclear device would then travel in to and explode . The concept was created by the Emergency Asteroid Defence Project (EADP), based in Denmark. They are seeking to find a way to protect Earth from destruction when all other methods have failed. Ranging from £340 million to $1 billion ($500 million to $1.5 billion), the cost of the mission would depend on how large the incoming asteroid that needed to be destroyed was. Called the Hypervelocity Asteroid Intercept Vehicle, or HAIV, the craft would rendezvous with an asteroid in deep space. It consists of a fore body (a leader spacecraft), which would hit the comet and create blast crater. A few seconds later, an aft body (a follower spacecraft) carrying nuclear explosives would hit inside the crater - which increases its effectiveness by up to 20 times. Once an asteroid had been located, the HAIV would be launched on one of several possible rockets, including a Delta IV or Atlas V. The HAIV would then align itself such that it would impact the asteroid, by matching its orbit. The concept works using a ‘leader’ and a ‘follower’ spacecraft. After the launch, the former would separate and impact the asteroid, forming a crater in its surface. The follower, carrying a nuclear warhead, would then enter the crater and explode, blowing the asteroid to pieces. These pieces would either be deflected from Earth, or would be too small to cause any considerable damage. This diagram shows a simulation of the area affected if something the size of Halley’s Comet, with a diameter of approximately 6.2 miles (10km), hit the US - a possible global extinction event . This simulation shows the area that would be affected, if a medium asteroid 330ft (100 metres) in diameter hit London. The EADP team says there is a significant threat of an asteroid hitting Earth . Shown is a diagram of how the spacecraft might look, with the nuclear device in the middle. Sensors at the front direct the spacecraft towards its target, before it impacts . Last year, the privately-funded B612 Foundation discovered that Earth is up to 10 times more likely to be hit than previously thought. While the majority of the impacts occur either high up in the atmosphere, or in unpopulated areas including the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the danger

Summary: A Danish NGO is planning to develop Earth-saving spacecraft . Hyper Velocity Asteroid Impact Vehicle (HAIV) will be a 'rapid' response . It will blow up asteroids that could endanger Earth using a nuclear device . But this should only be a last resort when other methods have failed .


Her beaming face was a rare moment of joy amongst the devastating scenes of Hurricane Katrina. A decade on, Staff Sgt. Mike Maroney is desperate to trace the beaming little girl he rescued from Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters. The US airman was with an elite Air Force pararescue unit when he plucked her to safety from her family's destroyed home in New Orleans, during the disaster. Moment of joy: Staff Sgt. Mike Maroney rescued the unknown girl and her family from their flood hit home in New Orleans, a week after Hurricane Katrina struck . The little girl and her family were still waiting for help about a week after the storm hit when the specialist team swooped in to help. The joyful image went on to appear on coinage and paper placemats at the base exchange, on phone cards and a magazine cover. For Mr Maroney, it was a brief moment of joy during what seemed like a hopeless mission. 'It had been such a rough week, when she wrapped me up in that hug, I was in la-la land,' he said. 'Nothing else existed. I was just loving that hug.' The veteran, who has since completed tours of Iraq, Afghanistan and was deployed to the Philippines, had arrived with his team a week earlier to do what they could to help the devastated city. A man suffering from an aortic aneurysm who was unlikely to survive and a comatose woman who had not left her own bed for years, were amongst those they assisted. Rescue: A man is hoisted to safety, like the little girl Staff Sgt. Mike Maroney is trying to trace, after being rescued from the top of a vehicle in the flooded streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, in September 2005 . Devastated: Water surrounds homes just east of downtown in this aerial view of damage from Hurricane Katrina, 10 years ago . But the dad-of-two was particularly moved by this girl, whose name he never knew, as he had a child the same age. He told the Airforce Times how he helped save the fearless youngster with her parents and four siblings and remembers how she excitedly pointed out her home and her school from the hoist. She reached out to rub her mother's back and comforted her as she cried saying 'It's OK,' and 'We're safe. Don't worry.' As he dropped her off at New Orleans International Airport with the rest of her family, a colleague captured their hug on camera. 'If I never do anything else again, that hug and that smile made it all worthwhile,' he said. He had no idea how far the image would travel until more than a year later, when he was on a deployment to Iraq. Another airman told him he had seen the image on military coins handed out as change at the base exchange. Disaster zone: Fire and floodwater in New Orleans following the hurricane which left 1,833 people dead . MR Maroney said: 'It was everywhere, on Burger King placemats and AT&T phone cards. I didn't expect

A wave of H7N9 bird flu in . China that has spread into people may have the potential to . emerge as a pandemic strain in humans, scientists have warned. The H7N9 virus, one of several strains of bird flu known to . be able to infect humans, has persisted, diversified and spread . in chickens across China, the researchers said. This has fulled a resurgence of infections in people, posing a wider threat. In a study published in the journal Nature, they said: 'The expansion of genetic diversity and geographical spread . indicates that, unless effective control measures are in place, . H7N9 could be expected to persist and spread beyond the region.' The H7N9 bird flu virus emerged in humans in March 2013. A wave of H7N9 bird flu in China that has spread into people may have the potential toemerge as a pandemic strain in humans . It has since then infected at least 571 people in China, Taipei, . Hong Kong, Malaysia and Canada, killing 212 of them, according . to February data from the World Health Organization (WHO). After an initial flare up of human cases at the start of . 2013, the H7N9 appeared to die down - aided in large part by . Chinese authorities deciding to close live poultry markets and . issue health warnings about direct contact with chickens. But infections in people increased again last year and in . early 2015. This promoted researchers to try to understand more . about how the virus re-emerged, how it might develop, and how it . might threaten public health. In this study, an international team of scientists led by Yi . Guan of Hong Kong university monitored the evolution and spread . of H7N9 over 15 cities across five provinces in China. By collecting and sequencing a large number of samples, they . found that the H7N9 virus is mutating frequently, acquiring . genetic changes that might increase its pandemic potential. A large number of new genetic variants of the virus have . become established in chickens and have spread across the . country, probably because of poultry trade movement, they said. Flu experts not directly involved in the research said its . findings were interesting but did not necessarily show the H7N9 . was changing in ways that made it more likely to develop into a . pandemic flu strain.

Manchester City go into Wednesday night's Champions League game against Barcelona knowing that only a win - and a win in which they score twice - will be enough to secure progress. It might therefore worry them to know that beating Barcelona is something that their manager, Manuel Pellegrini, has failed to manage since 2008. Pellegrini has now managed three clubs without any successes against Barca, losing all of his games so far as manager of City to match his record at Real Madrid, and managing just a single draw when in charge of Malaga. Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has lost 12 of his last 13 games against Barcelona . The last time Pellegrini beat Barcelona, in 2008, Yaya Toure was playing for the Spanish club . In fact, you have to go back to March 2008, more than eight years ago, to find Pellegrini's last win over Barcelona, on a day that his star man Yaya Toure was lining up for the Nou Camp outfit. As Villarreal boss Pellegrini did manage four wins against Barca, while drawing three times and losing the remaining five of his twelve games. However, only the last of those wins came away from home, and none of them in the Champions League, while his career record against Barcelona sees him triumph only 16 per cent of the time. City know they need to produce something special to progress - if they do beat Luis Enrique's team by the required margin, it will not just be a remarkable achievement for the club, but also for their manager. City trail 2-1 going into their game at the Nou Camp after Luis Suarez's double at the Etihad stadium . Pellegrini has lost all of his three matches against Barca as Manchester City manager .

Spencer Matthews is back in the best shape of his life following a week on a gruelling army-style boot camp. The 26-year-old Made In Chelsea star showed off his impressive six-pack while out hiking at the No 1 Boot Camp in Marrakech. Former lothario Spencer was determined to get toned for the next series of the E4 reality show which starts again on April 13. Scroll down for video . Spencer Matthews headed to the No 1 Boot Camp in Morocco with his girlfriend Lauren Frazer-Hutton . Spencer and Lauren looked like they were enjoying working out while hiking through the Atlas Mountains . So he booked himself in to the boot camp which offers intensive daily military-style fitness sessions. And it has clearly paid off by the looks of his rippling pecs, biceps and abs. Spencer took his girlfriend of five months, Lauren Frazer-Hutton, on the trip - and in the mornings the couple would work-out with a group of 12 other campers staying at the luxury villa. They would take part in grueling sessions of cardio workouts, weights and circuits. In the afternoons they would often go on long romantic hikes together in the foot-hills of the Atlas mountains only coming back to the villa for the evening meal. Temperatures in Morocco got up to 20C and so Spencer was often seen walking around with his top off, whilst Lauren wore a pretty pink crop top. Spencer looked on a little bemused as Lauren did some stretches on the side of the road . Spencer stopped to do a few press ups on some rocks, it certainly beats going to the gym! The good-looking couple spent some time laying in the sunshine as the showed off their impressive tans . Spencer and Lauren flew out to Morocco last week and stayed at the boot camp’s luxury five-star villa just outside Marrakech. Every morning they were woken at 6am and had an hour of exercise before breakfast. At 8.30am they would have an hour and a half of cardio training – boxing or spinning, followed by a snack at 10am, then circuit training at 10.30am until 12. Lunch would be an hour and then they would have long hikes, followed by team games and then yoga and stretching exercise. The evening meal would follow at 7.30pm. Spencer and Lauren covered up for part of the walk - the couple have been dating for around five months now . Despite their tiring work outs Spencer still found time to have a bit of a laugh on the mouthain . All the meals were prepared fresh on site each day and were all local produce and organic. Breakfast would consist of eggs, fresh fruit salad, with a small glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. A typical lunch would be fish or chicken brochettes cooked on the BBQ and a selection of salads, and dinner would be a soup and a chicken tagine, all served by the villa’s waiting staff. The calorie intake for each day would be limited to around 1,200 Kcal and

An Australian Muslim woman has spoken out about the trauma she is experiencing as the victim of an international hate campaign led by US white supremacists. However, the victim Mariam Veiszadeh says strangers showing their support worldwide with a viral hashtag campaign, #IStandWithMairam, continually drive her and help her to stay strong. The lawyer became the target of cyber bullies in October when she tweeted her disapproval when Woolworths were exposed for selling a singlet with a racist slogan. A photo of the shirt bearing the Australian flag and the catchphrase 'if you don't love it, leave' was taken at a supermarket in Cairns in far north Queensland. 'I am outraged that #WOOLWORTHS are allegedly selling these bigoted singlets at their Cairns stores,' she wrote. Scroll down for video . When Mariam Veiszadeh (pictured) became the victim of an international hate campaign, people rallied around her by sending messages of support with the hashtag #IStandWithMariam . Ms Veiszadeh was simply one of thousands of people to send a message disapproving on the singlet, pictured on sale at a Cairns supermarket, which read 'If you don't love it, leave' with the Australian flag . Terrifying images, such as the picture above, were photoshopped to make threatening messages to Veiszadeh . It resulted in online backlash against Woolworths and made national headlines. Ms Veiszadeh joined in with many other Australians to speak out against the supermarket giant for their decision to sell such an offensive item. 'The sentiments that I expressed that day on Twitter were expressed by thousands of other people, but it seemed that people took offence to what I said,' Ms Veiszadeh told Lateline. The dedicated advocate for the Muslim community received a barrage of disgusting, abusive messages in response. 'You muslim wh**e. Nobody invited you to Australia. Leave now before we behead your mother and bury you with the pigs,' wrote one vile troll. 'Go back to Afghanistan, you vile sandn***er w***e. 'Your filthy subhuman kind is not welcome in Australia.' Ms Veiszadeh was sent a barrage of abuse, even though many people including Karl Stefanovic spoke out on the topic and thousands made the same comments as the young Australian . A young Queensland woman will face court this week, accused of charging vile messages to Ms Veiszadeh online to 'harass and menace and intimidate' Ms Veiszadeh has sworn that when people try to intimidate her it will only steel her resolve and determination . Alarmingly although five months have passed since her original tweet the hateful messages she is receiving is intensifying. It comes as Ms Veiszadeh has become the target of a hate campaign by US white supremacists. A US Neo-Nazi website wrote a hate piece about her on February 20, calling for people to 'flood this towel head subhuman vermin with as much racial and religious abuse as we possibly can.' 'Stormer troll army, you know what needs to be done,' they wrote online. 'Be as vulgar, hateful, hurtful, extreme and offensive as possible.' Images have been photoshopped to show Ms Veiszadeh in disturbing and humiliating

Summary: Mariam Veiszadeh is a lawyer and advocate for fellow Muslims in Australia . She joined in with online debate regarding a racist shirt slogan in October . Since she has received a barrage of vile, abusive social media messages . It has escalated since US white supremacists called for people to bombard the 30-year-old Australian with messages and photos . A 22-year-old Queensland woman is charged with using a carriage service to menace, harrass or cause offence for allegedly bullying Veiszadeh .
