Sebastian Vettel paid an emotional homage to Michael Schumacher for providing the inspiration for his maiden victory with Ferrari. Four-times world champion Vettel was highly emotional as he stood on top of the podium after taking the chequered flag in the Malaysian Grand Prix in only his second race with the Maranello marque. Not since Schumacher's last triumph with the Scuderia at the Chinese Grand Prix in 2006 have the German and Italian national anthems been played back to back to hail such a combined Ferrari success. Sebastian Vettel (centre) jumps for joy after his impressive Malaysian Grand Prix win with Ferrari on Sunday . Vettel (centre) holds up his trophy as Lewis Hamilton (second left) and Nico Rosberg (second right) applaud . Vettel revealed it was former Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher who inspired his skillful win in Malaysia . For Vettel, it was the realisation of 'a dream' sparked by his hero Schumacher who won five of his seven titles with Ferrari, but who suffered life-changing injuries following a skiing accident 15 months ago. 'The team has been phenomenal, welcoming me the first day,' recalled Vettel. 'I remember when the gate opened in Maranello it was like a dream coming true. 'I remember the last time I was there was as a young kid watching Michael over the fence driving around in the Ferrari, and now I'm driving that very red car. It's incredible. 'Of course, when I grew up Michael was my hero, and for all of us - and I speak for all of the kids at the go-kart track at the time in Germany - we looked up to him. 'When he turned up every year, and to look after us a little bit, it made our lives. 'So that's why I think...I probably don't understand yet how special it is. Very, very emotional.' Vettel's win was no fluke, beating Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in a straight fight as he made good use of better tyre wear in the 30 degree heat at the Sepang International Circuit. Schumacher (right) celebrates winning the Malaysian Grand Prix with team-mate Rubens Barrichello in 2000 . Following Mercedes' domination last season, when only technical woes denied them victories in all but three of the 19 races, and after an easy win in the season-opening event in Australia, this defeat came as a surprise to reigning champion Hamilton. 'Huge congratulations to Seb and Ferrari,' said Hamilton, who finished 8.5secs adrift of Vettel at the end of the 56 laps. 'You have to hand it to them - I wasn't expecting them to be as quick as they were. They had some serious pace and deserved the win.' Rosberg, meanwhile, was left chewing on his words as a fortnight ago after the race in Australia he had called on Ferrari to give them a fight. It was a case of 'be careful what you wish for', with an unhappy Rosberg stating: 'Ferrari did an awesome job and deserved to win. Vetel crosses the finishing line and gives the fistpump as Ferrari

Jordan's Queen Rania is spearheading a push to encourage more people to travel to the Middle Eastern kingdom despite terrorist threats or political turmoil in neighbouring countries. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline Travel, she said she is surprised that more Britons don't visit Jordan and assurred holidaymakers that it is safe and filled with unique experiences. 'Britons prefer an unconventional experience and we have so much to offer,' she said. Scroll down for video . Queen Rania, pictured, says tourists to Jordan should expect a 'warm' reception from locals . Her comments came during a tourism event in Amman in which the 44-year-old royal also said the country was stuck 'between a rock and a hard place' - a reference to the conflicts that have blighted the Middle East since 2011. Despite Jordan's 'bad neighbours', she continued, Britons and others should consider the country 'safe' to visit. Since the murder of pilot Muath al-Kasasbi, 26, at the hands of ISIS in February, tourism to the country has plummeted by 17.8 per cent - continuing a trend that begun two years ago. Tourism to Jordan has plummeted by 17.8 per cent - continuing a trend that begun two years ago . Just a five-hour flight from the UK, Jordan is around 15 degrees warmer and abundant with fascinating history and culture. The striking reds and soft undulations of the desert, the implausibly beautiful valley of Wadi Rum rum, cut into the sandstone and granite and the bouyant Dead sea waters should be enough to stir your wanderlust. In the Unesco World Heritage Site of Petra, famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system visit the treasury and the ancient Nabatean aqueducts. Or explore the Greco-Roman city of Jerash, taking in the monuments including the Temple of Artemis and Temple of Zeus. Climb the 800 steps of the Ad-Deir Monastery or go camel trekking through the desert at sunrise. As a result, the country is desperately trying to drum up interest abroad, with tourism chiefs pointing the continued calm in capital Amman and in major tourist sites such as Petra. However, Jordan has borders with both Iraq and Syria, and is part of the coalition currently conducting air strikes targeting the terrorists of ISIS. Nevertheless, according to Queen Rania, the country is totally safe to visit and was at pains to point out that visitors should expect a 'warm' reception from locals.

Tourism is worth an estimated £2m a year to the Jordanian economy and is one of its biggest employers . 'Here in Jordan, we see tourists as more than visitors - we see them as our guests,' she added. 'People will invite you to share a cup of tea or a meal. You will always get a warm welcome.' The royal also spoke of the country's history, which includes more than 500,000 sites of archaeological interest, among them 12 crusader-built desert castles and the mighty Petra, and of its striking Dead Sea coastline.

Gabby Logan, left, pictured with her former rugby international husband Kenny, right, shamed a Twitter troll who told her to go back to the kitchen . Her father was an international footballer and she is married to a former rugby star. So when a troll tweeted that she should be a housewife rather than a TV sports presenter, Gabby Logan was on safe ground hitting back. She promptly named and shamed the man who described her a ‘f***ing geezer bird’ – and was swamped with praise by her followers. Yesterday Mrs Logan, 41, retweeted the sexist message, which appeared to have been sent to her by a web designer named Glen Hughes. It appears he hurled his abuse after Mrs Logan tweeted her thoughts about football. Writing using the Twitter handle @GlenWebLondon he said: ‘Who asked your opinion f****** geezer bird get back to kitchen” this is freelance web designer and latent feminist Glen’. Within minutes, scores of Mrs Logan’s 372,000 followers had applauded her for drawing attention to the troll, who has since deleted his profile. Among them was Alice Arnold, partner of fellow BBC presenter Clare Balding, who wrote: ‘Name and shame Gabby!! Good on you.’ Mrs Logan, whose father Terry Yorath was a Welsh international footballer and was part of the presenting team covering the World Cup in Brazil, replied: ‘Occasionally you just need to deliver a little upper cut for your own sanity don’t you think?’ And hundreds of other Twitter users offered their support to Mrs Logan, with one writing: ‘Gabby you are great, don’t worry about these silly people who don’t think before they speak. Others pledged to avoid working with the designer, including one who tweeted: ‘Any of my suppliers who use @GlenWebLondon will lose business.’ Another posted: ‘Good luck with your female colleagues tomorrow. Learn a bit of class from Gabby. Twit.’ Last night Vivienne Pattison of campaign group Mediawatch-UK said: ‘I’m really pleased that she’s in a position to be able to fight back about it. We hear lots of stories about people not in that position and some of them end really tragically. We are still navigating our way through the challenges that social media present but actually being abusive like that on Twitter is no different to publishing it anywhere else. Good on here. He clearly should have thought twice before pressing the button that says publish, because that is exactly what he’s done.’ It is not the first time Mrs Logan, who is the wife of former Scotland rugby star Kenny Logan, has used social media to name and shame a troll. Last month she shared a sexist remark from @garywall001, which read: @GabbyLogan you’re s*** on motd [Match Of The Day] get some ironing done,’ and wrote: ‘the thing is I am a woman so I can do both.’ In the past she has also voiced annoyance to be repeatedly asked ‘who is looking after the children’. Mrs Logan, who is mother two nine-year-old twins Reuben and Lois, told Essentials magazine: ‘People still think it’s a woman’s responsibility to

The six poignant pictures of the screen siren were taken by close friend George Barris on July 13, 1962, destined for a book about Monroe. Just three weeks later Monroe was found dead - making Barris's pictures of the world's biggest star hugely valuable. Yet New York native Barris was devastated by the loss of his friend, and scrapped plans for the book. He also refused to allow the images, the last professional shots ever to be taken of Monroe, to be published for several years afterwards.

'When I first saw her I thought she was the most beautiful, fantastic person I'd ever met,' Barris told the Los Angeles Daily News in 2012, ahead of an exhibition to mark what would have been the film star's 86th birthday. 'She completely knocked me off my feet.' The two remained firm friend. Barris told the Huffington Post: 'What I particularly liked about Marilyn was that she didn't act like a movie star. 'I was most impressed that Marilyn was always polite and friendly to everyone on the set. She was no phony or snob.' Barris revealed to the Daily News that the final shot he ever took of Monroe was on the beach, wrapped in a blanket. 'She puckered up and said, `This is just for you, George,' and blew a kiss to me. That's the last picture I took of her,' he said. A print of that picture among the six on sale, along with a two more from the beach in Santa Monica, while two are taken inside a house in Hollywood. Compilation: Barris had planned to include the pictures in a book about Monroe he was putting together . Grief: But Barris scrapped plans for the book, and refused to publish the pictures for years after her death .

An Australian jihadist widow has shared a series of propaganda pictures she says shows her 'five star jihad' lifestyle - and says she and other female jihadists are 'thirsty' for the blood of her former countrymen.

Duman's account follows the similar naming conventions as previous social media accounts. It also featured pictures of her late reported partner, the so-called 'Playboy Jihadi' Mahmoud Abdullatif, as her 'beautiful husband'.

It is the game which, ultimately, could define the success or otherwise of Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane’s expensive Republic of Ireland tenure. Installed amid much fanfare 18 months ago, £1million-per-year O’Neill and his assistant Keane – with a £600,000 salary - were given a remit of qualification for Euro 2016, a task made easier by the expansion to a 24-team format. Defeat against Poland at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday, however, would all but render redundant any hope of automatic progression to next summer’s finals in France. It would be they and Scotland left to do battle for the play-off berth. Aiden McGeady jokes with Ireland assistant Roy Keane during a training session earlier this week . Sunderland defender John O'Shea catches a bib as the side prepare for the crucial qualifier against Poland . The mood here in Dublin is not one of optimism. An inquest, you feel, awaits O’Neill and his regime should they fail to beat the group leaders. One newspaper described their manager as ‘bookish and vaguely befuddled’, while the ‘carnage’ which follows Keane was also noted. Certainly, there has been a definite effort to play down the chaos around Keane this week and the No 2 gave an untypically subdued and low-key performance in front of the press. O’Neill, meanwhile, has kept all talk to football. He has ignored the opinion pieces which have called into question his impact since his arrival. He has, though, recognised the magnitude of the outcome against the Poles. ‘The importance of the occasion should not be missed,’ he said. ‘Defeat would be a big dent in our hopes of automatic qualification. It might not decide everything, but it is very significant. We have to try to win. Martin O'Neill addresses his squad at the training session as they bid to go level with Poland in Group D . The Ireland players are out through their paces in preparation for the Euro 2016 clash . ‘I’ve said all along that the home games will shape our destiny. This is the first of that group. We have to make them count.’ O’Neill, whose fourth-placed side trail Poland by three points, added: ‘We can change all of that (negative talk) with one result and one fantastic performance. ‘We will not get very far with a pessimistic approach and I’m not overly concerned with what people say before the game. ‘We have given ourselves a chance (of qualification) but we will have to be right on top of our game to win this match.’ One criticism of O’Neill is that he does not know his preferred XI or, indeed, formation. That much was obvious by him talking this week of players winning a starting place should they impress at their coastal training base in Malahide. O'Neill is hoping to banish all the negativity around the squad with a result against Poland . One player not guaranteed to start is captain Robbie Keane. He was dropped for the morale-shattering 1-0 defeat in Scotland in November. The LA Galaxy striker, 34, was sat next to O’Neill

Summary: Ireland play Poland in a Euro 2016 qualifier at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday . Martin O'Neill's side are three points behind group leaders Poland . The Ireland manager has been criticised for failing to make an impact . O'Neill acknowledges significance of the game in relation to qualification .

'Cameron is now in the ludicrous position of saying he will attend the same programme and take the same questions from the same audience as Ed Miliband, but will not debate him face to face.'

Ibrahimovic gives the referee a disgruntled look during the game, and afterwards branded him 's***' 'I played 15 years, I never seen a referee this s***,' he shouted. 'They don't even deserve PSG should be in this country.' Following Ibrahimovic's remarks French sports minister Patrick Kanner had called on the Swede to apologise, saying 'disappointment did not justify his offensive comments', but later he later called the striker a 'great champion'. Rolan scored from Brazilian defender Mariano's cross with a shot between the legs of goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu. The strike ended PSG's 15-game unbeaten run in all competitions, and came just four minutes after Ibrahimovic had equalised from the penalty spot.

A star that is travelling fast enough to escape the gravitational clutches of our galaxy has been discovered by a team of astronomers. The amazing stellar object attained its rapid speed when a nearby star exploded as a supernova, sending it out of the Milky Way. At its current speed it would make the journey from Earth to the moon in just five minutes - a trip which took the Apollo spacecraft three days. Scroll down for a video showing an artist's impression of the event . Astronomers in Hawaii have found the fastest 'unbound' star in the galaxy. Called US 708 it is moving at 745 miles (1,200km) per second. It will leave the galaxy in about 25 million years. This artist's concept shows a star (left) being ejected from the galaxy, although in reality the supernova would have been faded long ago . The star, known as US 708, was first discovered in 1982 by Dr Peter Usher of Pennsylvania State University but had since then remained ignored. However, a team of astronomers led by the University of Hawaii at Manoa has now re-examined the star, and found that it breaks the galactic speed record for an 'unbound' star. US 708 is almost 62,000 light-years from Earth, and is on a path that will take it out of the Milky Way in about 25 million years. Type 1a: A white dwarf accumulates material from a stellar companion until it undergoes runaway nuclear fusion and explodes. Non-standard type 1a: Two white dwarfs merge until their combined mass causes an explosion. Type II: A star at least nine times the mass of the sun eventually experiences a core collapse as its fuel runs out, causing it to explode. Type 1b and 1c: A star undergoes core collapse but most of its outer hydrogen has already been lost to stellar winds. Hypernova: Extreme type of supernova, 50 times as energetic as other supernovas, resulting in a black hole. The exact cause of them is unknown. Using the 10-metre Keck II and Pan-Starrs1 telescopes in Hawaii, the astronomers calculated that the star is moving at about 745 miles (1,200km) per second. This makes it the fastest ‘rogue’ star in the galaxy - one that is no longer orbiting the centre. ‘At that speed, you could travel from Earth to the moon in five minutes,’ said Dr Eugene Magnier of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. ‘By observing the sky repeatedly over several years, the Pan-Starrs1 survey, let us make a movie of the motions of the stars in the sky. ‘That enables us to study the behavioirs of extremely rare and weird stars like US 708.’ While a handful of other stars escaping the galaxy are known, this is the first to have been found that was ejected by a thermonuclear supernova explosion. US 708, which is a helium-rich white dwarf, was propelled at high speeds when a more massive white dwarf star nearby in a tight binary blew up. At the speed US 708 is travelling it would make the journey from Earth

Summary: Astronomers in Hawaii have found the fastest 'unbound' star in the galaxy . Called US 708 it is moving at 745 miles (1,200km) per second . It will leave the galaxy in about 25 million years . The star was given its rapid speed due to its companion going supernova . It is the first star found to be leaving the galaxy caused by such an event .


Andy Murray is not sure about Jonas Bjorkman's dancing but is confident the Swede will prove a valuable addition to his coaching team. The 42-year-old is to join Murray for a trial week at some point in the next month with a view to working with the Scot on a permanent basis alongside his main coach Amelie Mauresmo. The exact timing of that week is up in the air because Bjorkman is currently competing on Let's Dance, the Swedish version of Strictly Come Dancing. Andy Murray talks to his main coach Amelie Mauresmo during a training session in Indian Wells . The Scot, who could add Jonas Bjorkman to his team, practices his serve with coach Mauresmo watching on . Murray and Mauresmo take a moments rest during training ahead of Murray's Indian Wells challenge . Murray, whose mother Judy was a high-profile contestant on the last series of the British show, told BBC Radio Five Live: 'I haven't seen him dance yet but apparently he's one of the favourites to win so he must be all right.' With Mauresmo only committed to working with Murray for 25 weeks a year, the world number four has made finding an additional coach a priority. The role had been filled under Ivan Lendl and then Mauresmo by his long-time friend Dani Vallverdu until the pair went their separate ways at the end of last season. The aim will be for Bjorkman to travel with Murray during the weeks when Mauresmo is unavailable, while they will also work together at certain times of the year. Murray said: 'We've agreed for him to work with us for a week just to try and see how it goes. Normally when I've started working with coaches I've done that. 'I know him very well from when he played. He was one of the older guys when I came on the tour and he was very good to me. He's a very nice person, good sense of humour. And he was an exceptional tennis player who made the most of his ability. Former world No 4 Jonas Bjorkman will join up with Team Murray for a trial week as assistant coach . 'A lot of Swedes turn out to be good coaches. They've got a good mindset, they're very calm individuals and extremely hard workers. Hopefully when we try it out together it works well.' Bjorkman reached number four in the singles rankings and number one in doubles, winning nine grand slam titles. Since retiring in 2008 he has worked in the media, as a coach with Sweden's Davis Cup team and behind the scenes at the ATP tournaments in Bastad and Stockholm. He becomes the latest Swede to take up a high-profile coaching role in men's tennis after Magnus Norman, who guided Stan Wawrinka to the Australian Open title last year, and Roger Federer's part-time mentor Stefan Edberg. Bjorkman agreed with Murray's assessment of Swedish strengths but also said he hoped to bring energy and fun to training sessions. Andy Murray celebrates after securing victory for Great Britain

Summary: Andy Murray will work with Sweden's Jonas Bjorkman for a trial period . The aim is for Bjorkman to travel with Murray during the weeks when his main coach Amelie Mauresmo is unavailable . Murray has been searching for a new No 2 since Dani Vallverdu left .


Naz Shah, who has been selected to fight the seat of Bradford West, was brought up in extreme poverty and forced into marriage aged 15 . A Labour candidate for Parliament has spoken of her extraordinary life as the daughter of a convicted murderer. Women’s rights campaigner Naz Shah, who was selected last week to fight the seat of Bradford West against George Galloway, also suffered marriage at the age of 15, violence and poverty. She was praised on social media yesterday after publishing a remarkable account of how her life has been defined by extreme poverty and violence. In an emotive open letter, she described growing up in Bradford in extreme poverty and becoming homeless aged six after her father left his family destitute when he eloped with a 16-year-old neighbour. She was forced to be a parent to her two sisters after her mother, who had suffered years of abuse at the hands of a local drug dealer, was jailed for his murder after she poisoned him. Mrs Shah’s mother, Zoora, was released from prison in 2000 after serving 14 years for putting poison into the food of Mohammed Azam, a local drug dealer she feared was planning to sexually abuse her daughters. He had helped her to obtain a mortgage so the family would no longer be homeless, but demanded sex in return. Mrs Shah, a mother-of-three, became active in politics after campaigning to free her mother, Zoora. She will be opposing Respect MP Mr Galloway in May’s general election. Yesterday she described being forced into an arrange marriage in Pakistan, when she was under the age of consent, to a man who was violent towards her. She had been sent to live with family in Pakistan when she was 12 to escape Azam. In her account, published by the website Urban Echo, Ms Shah recalled how she returned to Britain after leaving her own husband, who she claimed ‘used his fists to communicate’, to become ‘a mother to my two siblings’. She wrote: ‘I was only six when my father abandoned my mother with two young children and pregnant with a third when he eloped with the neighbour’s 16 year old daughter. ‘I remember been thrown into the back of a taxi with black bin liners full of our belongings and packed off from the family home. ‘We never really saw the end of black bin liners over the next few years as we moved from squalor to squalor, 14 times in less than two years, from back to back houses where the toilet was outside to rat infested damp houses where we lived and slept in just one room. Zoora Shah (left) served 14 years for the murder of Mohammed Azam after poisoning the drug dealer's food when she feared he planned to sexually abuse her daughters . ‘My mother’s attempt to provide her children with the security of a home came at the expense of being abused by Azam over years. A man that she thought would save her children from an uncertain and insecure future,

The estranged wife of former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling turned her romantic rival's words against her in court Friday, playing a recording that showed her husband showered V Stiviano with millions of dollars in gifts. In closing arguments in the trial seeking the return of more than $2.8million in community property the Sterlings acquired over six decades of marriage, Shelly Sterling's lawyer relied on the words of Miss Stiviano to show that the elderly billionaire was her sugar daddy. ‘The truth is that everything that I have, you've given me from your heart without me begging or asking or throwing myself all over you,’ Stiviano said in snippet. ‘That's it, that's over. End of case,’ attorney Pierce O'Donnell said. Testimony in Los Angeles Superior Court wasn't as clear-cut even after Sterling's lawyers went to great lengths to show that checks Donald Sterling drew from his real estate business ended up in accounts that financed most of Stiviano's $1.8million Spanish-style duplex near Beverly Hills. Scroll down for video . Back in court: V. Stiviano, 32, pictured here arriving at Los Angeles Superior court Friday, painted two conflicting portraits of Donald Sterling, saying he was a kind, generous mentor and father figure to her but was a 'bigot' who was mean to others . A trick up her sleeve: Donald Sterling's wife, Shelly, had her lawyer play a recording in court Friday that showed her husband showered V Stiviano with millions of dollars in gifts . While an accountant for Sterling conservatively estimated that Stiviano got more than $3.6million in Sterling gifts that included a Ferrari and Paris shopping spree, O'Donnell said he would only seek return of the house and more than $1million in cash, saying the lower figure lined up with Stiviano's own admissions on the witness stand, depositions and court filings. Judge Richard Fruin Jr, who didn't indicate how soon he would rule, had noted earlier that there was no clear documentation that funds went from the Sterling family's real estate company to Stiviano's bank accounts. Defense lawyer Mac Nehoray reiterated that point in his closing argument. He attacked the credibility of witnesses, particularly Donald Sterling, who had suggested Stiviano got her name on the home title illegally because she was part Hispanic and had buddied up to a Hispanic banker and escrow officer. It was Stiviano who recorded the now-infamous conversation with Donald Sterling in which he berated her for associating with black people and urged her not to bring minorities with her to Clippers basketball games. In the furor sparked when the remarks were made public, the NBA banned Sterling from the league for life, and he was ultimately forced to sell the Clippers franchise he had owned for 33 years for a record $2billion. Nehoray spent most of his argument trying to convince the judge that the law doesn't allow Shelly Sterling to go after a third party like Stiviano because of a breach of fiduciary duty by her husband. Key witness: Stiviano was called to testify in the non-jury trial of a lawsuit brought by

Summary: V Stiviano, 32, said that to her Donald Sterling was a mentor and a father, but to others he was 'a con artist, a bigot'... mean and 'despicable' 'We were so interconnected on a level that was more spiritual. He became my everything and I became his all,' she testified . Donald Sterling's estranged wife, Shelly, painted Stiviano as a gold digger who seduced her husband into giving her cash and gifts . Mrs Sterling filed lawsuit seeking return of $3.6million in community marital assets . Stiviano claimed Donald Sterling also lavished a male friend of his with gifts .


Jonny Evans' actions in spitting at Papiss Cisse were 'simply disgusting', a Football Association regulatory commission ruled. The written reasons for Evans' six-match ban were released by the FA on Thursday. The Manchester United defender and Newcastle striker Cisse were both charged after spitting at each other during the Red Devils' 1-0 victory on March 4 in an incident missed by referee Anthony Taylor. Newcastle's Papiss Cisse and Manchester United's Jonny Evans squared at St James' Park last week . Cisse has been banned for seven games, while Evans has received a six game suspension . Cisse accepted the charge and a seven-match ban - one extra because of a previous offence this season - but Evans insisted he had not intended to spit at the striker and contested it. The three members of the regulatory commission accepted 27-year-old Evans was the only person who could know his intent, but stated: 'It is clear that Mr Evans is looking directly and indeed aggressively at Mr Cisse. His lips are 'pursed' and he is close to Mr Cisse. 'If he was, as alleged to be the case, a person who 'habitually spits', then the commission were concerned as to why he did not turn his head away from Mr Cisse when so spitting. 'If that had been a family member or indeed another team member or his manager in front and below him would he still have carried out the same manoeuvre? Evans' actions have been described as 'simply disgusting' by the FA's regulatory committee . Both Evans and Cisse were charged and banned by the FA for spitting, but Cisse admitted the offence . 'Mr Evans had (and has) a duty of care, if spitting for whatever reason, not to direct the same in the general direction of an opponent, or indeed anyone else. The video clips clearly show that he failed in his duty of care. 'There may, in some quarters, be substantial sympathy for Mr Evans, but the video evidence shows that he did what he did, and the ordinary man in the street will find his action to be simply disgusting and should not be allowed in any walk of life, let alone on any football field.' The written report also reveals Manchester United questioned the length of the suspension but the commission did not consider there were any 'truly exceptional' circumstances to reduce it from the standard six matches.

Summary: Jonny Evans was banned for six games for spitting at Papiss Cisse . FA commission which found him guilty have published written reasons . Report said Evans was 'looking directly and indeed aggressively at Cisse' 'The ordinary man in the street will find his action to be simply disgusting'


Brendan Rodgers says Liverpool have second place in their sights after they boosted their Champions League hopes in Swansea. Jordan Henderson’s freak goal in the 68th minute ended Swansea’s spirited resistance and put Liverpool within two points off Manchester United. The two biggest clubs in English football go head-to-head at Anfield this weekend and whoever wins will be favourites to finish in the top four. Brendan Rodgers says Liverpool have second place in their sights following the win against Swansea City . Jordan Henderson (pictured) scored with a deflected strike that was enough to seal victory for the away side . Rodgers, however, insists Liverpool should be aiming higher and feels Manchester City’s defeat at Burnley has opened the table up. Liverpool’s manager said: ‘The aim is to finish as high as we can. Everyone talks about fourth but it’s the same every year for me. ‘We do the best that we can do and the Manchester City result at the weekend gives us an opportunity to finish second so our mentality, the run and confidence we have at the moment we are just going to take that into every game and see where it takes us.’ This was Liverpool’s sixth consecutive away clean sheet in the league – they have not conceded on the road since losing at Old Trafford on December 14 – and defending provided the bedrock of this performance. They equalled a club record dating back to 1972. Liverpool were not at their best in the opening 45 minutes and needed some smart interventions from goalkeeper Simon Mignolet before Steven Gerrard came on as a second half substitute to provide some composure. Rodgers says Liverpool should be aiming higher and feels Manchester City’s defeat has opened the table up . Rodgers added: ‘What we did second half was run more without the ball and that notion for the team that you’ve got to move not just when you have the ball - you’ve got to run off it. ‘We talked at half-time about penetration and options for the guy in possession. But Steve came on and offered that calmness. We switched to a diamond in the second half and he came on and fitted into the bottom of that and his calmness and control was important to that. ‘You have to pay respect to the team as well .They’ve been playing well getting results and over the last 3 months we’ve been in great form but we have to pay attention. ‘He’d been out for a considerable period of time now but he is fit and you see how important he is when he came on.’ Liverpool are now just four points behind City, who struggled to a 1-0 defeat against Burnley on Saturday . Looking ahead to the showdown with United, Rodgers added: ‘We can now really look forward to that. We needed a result so to get the victory was a huge result. They are massive games, great games to be involved in. ‘Hopefully it will show the strides we have made since we played them

Chelsea defender Cesar Azplicueta believes his team-mate Eden Hazard will one day be ranked alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and win the Ballon d'Or. Either Messi or Ronaldo has won the prize on the last seven occasions, with the Barcelona forward winning four, and the Real Madrid star three. But Azpilicueta believes Hazard has the ability to break the La Liga duo's monopoly and claim the top individual award in world football. Although he maintains his 24-year-old team-mate is more concerned with winning team trophies than individual honours. Eden Hazard can reach the level of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, says team-mate Cesar Azpilicueta . The Chelsea star scored the only goal as his side beat West Ham in the Premier League on Wednesday . (L-R) Juan Cuadrado, Kurt Zouma, Loic Remy and Hazard celebrates Chelsea's Capital One Cup victory . 'We are talking about two monsters of football today,' Azpilicueta told Marca of Messi and Ronaldo. 'Eden is a great player, younger than them, and therefore has more capacity for improvement. 'I think in the future he could win the Ballon d'Or, he has the quality to it, but I see more focus on titles than achieving individual trophies. But yes, he has great quality and I think in the future we will see with the trophy in his hands.' Azpilicueta during Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Tottenham in the final at Wembley last Sunday . Barcelona star Messi has won four Ballon d'Or awards in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 . While Real Madrid rival Ronaldo has won three in 2008, 2013 and 2014 . Hazard signed for Chelsea in 2012, and has so far gone on to score 44 goals in 147 games in all competitions for the club, as well as winning the Europa League in 2013 and last Sunday's Capital One Cup. Last month, he signed a new five-and-half-year deal to secure his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

Administrators at a Catholic university in Florida agreed to help an honors student start a campus club that would send money and supplies to the ISIS terror army. Hidden camera footage released Monday morning shows officials and faculty at Barry University advising a senior – identified only as 'Laura' – about the best way to secure funding for a club she called 'Sympathetic Students in Support of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.' 'I want to start fundraising efforts on campus, and what I want to do is raise funds to send overseas,' she told Derek Bley, the school's Coordinator for Leadership Development and Student Organizations. Bley offered to help her create the organization and agreed with her request to 'pass out Islamic State flags and educate people' at an annual student 'Festival of Nations' fair. The video is from Project Veritas, a conservative 'guerilla film-making group' that last week captured a Cornell University dean agreeing that ISIS and Hamas would be welcome at the Ivy League school. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . When an honors student at Barry University in Florida asked campus administrators about getting college funds for a club supporting the ISIS terror army, her idea was met with approval . The Barry professor in charge of the undergraduate honors program agreed to serve as the pro-ISIS group's faculty advisor after hearing that its mission would include 'raising money and sending it to the Islamic State' 'We're not here to limit people,' Derek Bley, 'leadership development' coordinator, told 'Laura' as the student filmed him with a hidden camera . Barry University, based in Miami Shores, has received more than $112 million in federal grants and contracts, and another $109 million from Florida taxpayers since 2000, Project Veritas said Monday, citing figures from OpenTheBooks.com. It also once received tuition money from retired NBA great Shaquille O'Neal, who graduated in 2012 with a doctorate in Education. His final 'capstone project' – a load-lightened version of a doctoral dissertation – focused on 'humor and seriousness in leadership styles,' according to the Miami New Times. The school's mission statement says 'all members of our community' must 'accept social responsibility to foster peace and nonviolence.' Yet Bley was enthusiastic about Laura's terror-funding venture. 'We're not here to limit people and their clubs, he said. 'If there a demand or a need, or an interest that students have to do this, we're here to support that.' 'If you've got ... people who are interested, and this is something you want take and run with,' he added. 'we're here to help you get that done.' 'WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT THAT': Bley explained that his office wouldn't make judgments about the kinds of activities and clubs college students wanted to sign up for . The only objection? Asking students to support a group with 'ISIS' in its name, a multicultural program coordinator thought, might hold the organization back – so why not rename it? Laura put the murderous ISIS army's credentials front-and-center. 'They are terrorists,' she told Bley, 'but, like, we're trying to help them. We're

Summary: Honors student set to receive communications award at Barry University in Miami told college officials she wanted to start a club to support ISIS . Student organizations chief told her she could get funding for group called 'Sympathetic Students in Support of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria' 'They are terrorists,' she told him, 'but we're trying to help them, we're trying to educate them and give them funding' 'We're not here to limit people,' the university administrator replied, and agreed with her request to 'pass out Islamic State flags' at a school event . The VP for student affairs told Daily Mail Online, 'Barry University would not approve any group supporting a terrorist organization' Project Veritas, a conservative group run by guerilla filmmaker James O'Keefe, made the startling video . Group previously filmed a Cornell University dean saying an ISIS 'freedom fighter' could host a training camp at the Ivy League school .


Diego Costa's desire to win is so great that even in a simple training game the fiery striker will play on the edge, according to former team-mate Toby Alderweireld. Spain international Costa came to England with a reputation as a bullish centre forward and, as plenty of Premier League defenders will attest to, the Chelsea hitman has more than lived up to the billing. Alderweireld, on loan at Southampton, spent last season playing with the Brazil-born striker at Atletico Madrid as Diego Simeone's side claimed a famous La Liga title. Diego Costa has been involved in numerous scuffles with defenders during the season, including a running battle with PSG defender David Luiz in Wednesday's Champions League clash . Toby Alderweireld is likely to be tasked with stopping Diego Costa at Stamford Bridge on Sunday . Costa and Alderweireld played together at Atletico Madrid together during title winning season last year . The duo will be re-united at Stamford bridge on Sunday with Southampton still in the hunt for a top-four spot, while Chelsea will be hoping to return to winning ways after they were dumped out of the Champions League midweek by PSG. Alderweireld knows better than most what Costa is like to line up against having faced him in training and the defender is not expecting an easy ride on Sunday. 'That's his mentality,' the Belgium international told The Sun. 'Outside the field he's totally different, he's a very nice guy, good to the supporters, never in a fight, always laughing. Spain international Costa argues with PSG midfielder Thiago Motta as Thiago Silva pushes him away . Alderweireld celebrates victory against Hull with fellow teammates Jose Fonte and Morgan Schneiderlin . 'It's strange to see him change on the field, because of his desire to win. 'Even on the training pitch, just in an easy game, four against four, he's always on the line, and his desire is so big that sometimes he goes over it. 'It happened a lot at Atletico because the training was so crazy.'

Summary: Chelsea welcome Southampton to Stamford Bridge on Sunday . Toby Alderweireld will be re-united with former team-mate Diego Costa . Alderweireld says the striker plays with the same fiery attitude in training . Belgium international puts it down to Costa's desire to win .


Smiling children enjoy fairground rides and a small boy eagerly waves at the camera while a candy-coloured big wheel turns in the distance. The footage could show scenes from any amusement park, anywhere in the world, yet it is a propaganda video designed to show the 'lighter' side of living under the bloodthirsty Islamic State caliphate. Shot in Dijla City, a fairground just north of the Iraqi city Mosul, children and adults describe life under ISIS control. Unsurprisingly, they are all very complimentary. Scroll down for video . Propaganda: Smiling children enjoy fairground rides at Dijla City in Islamic State's most recent propaganda video . The ISIS interviewer asks one child, who is standing alongside an armed companion, what his life is like under the Islamic State caliphate . The scenes could be from any park, anywhere in the world, but these children live under the control of ISIS . The video, entitled 'Citizens’ Days Out in the Shadow of the Islamic State' and published today, is an attempt to depict an idealised version of everyday life under the caliphate. Charlie Winter, a researcher at the Quilliam Foundation, a counter-extremism think tank, analysed the footage. 'In the video, we see men and children playing in Dijla City theme park, which is located just on the outside of Mosul in northern Iraq,' Mr Winter said. 'While it may seem a strange addition to IS’s propaganda repertoire, is nothing unusual. 'Just as they do in many other videos like this, the propagandists are peddling the idea that there has been a total reversal of the status quo for Sunni Muslims in IS-held territory. 'They are trying to promote the idea that the IS caliphate is a true utopia, where Sunni children are free to play safely, free from persecution and injustice. 'Safe to say, this is a heavily idealised version of events.' Fairground fun: Children and adults are asked by the interviewer what life is like under ISIS control and they are all very complimentary . Caliphate: If the footage were to be believed, children living under Islamic State rule live a good life and spend their days playing in the sun . Deceiving: A small boy waves at the camera in an Islamic State propaganda video and youngsters enjoy the fairground rides . All the fun of the ISIS: Shot in Dijla City, a fairground just north of the Iraqi city Mosul, children and adults what life is like under ISIS control . The ISIS interviewer asks one child, who is standing alongside an armed companion, what his life is like. He replies: 'It is a life that is comfortable and God has willed it that it is like this in the Islamic State, which will remain by the permission of God.' Another reveals it is 'very good' and he is 'at ease'. A man, who carries a young girl in his arms, tells the interviewer: 'I mean, this situation is what God prefers, he is great, it is preferred by God the Almighty, all is good here, there is security that is

Three retired carers are accused of running a child sex ring for 30 years at a school for vulnerable children where 'abuse was almost the norm', a court has heard. Colwyn Baker, David Hennessy and Nigel Putman are said to have preyed on youngsters at the now defunct Swaylands School in Penshurst, Kent, between 1963 and 1993. As well as the abuse allegedly committed by the trio, jurors were also told Baker allegedly encouraged the boys to commit sex acts on other children. David Hennessey (pictured left) and Nigel Putman (right) are accused alongside Colwyn Baker of sexually abusing youngsters at the now-defunct Swaylands School in Penshurst, Kent, between 1963 and 1993 . The three men face a total of 49 charges against 24 victims, who were aged between 10 to 15 at the time. Baker, 71, of Morningside, Edinburgh, faces 24 counts of indecent assault and three charges of rape. Hennessy, 74, of King's Lynn, Norfolk, has been charged with 17 counts of indecent assault, one of gross indecency with a child and one of rape. Putman, 62, of Slough, Berkshire, faces three charges of indecent assault. They deny all of the charges against them. The men were residential child care officers at Swaylands School, which catered for boys with emotional and behavioural difficulties and which closed in 1993. They are accused of making nightly rounds and encouraging the pupils to abuse each other in a number of cruel and sometimes painful sexual 'games' - keeping them quiet with blackmail and presents. The men were residential child care officers at Swaylands School (pictured) which catered for boys with emotional and behavioural difficulties. The school closed in 1993 and has since been converted in to flats . The court heard detailed descriptions of multiple counts of alleged sexual abuse, including a sex 'game' called 'toothpaste testicles'. Opening the 12-week trial at Maidstone Crown Court today, prosecutor Philip Bennetts QC told the jury: 'The atmosphere at the school at the time that you are considering was one where abuse was almost the norm. 'Children who were abused were positively encouraged to abuse other pupils. 'Abuse and the age of pupils abused led some pupils to consider that there was nothing wrong with abusing other pupils.' One of Baker's alleged victims became so scared that he often stayed awake at night, sleeping in stairwells to avoid Baker, Mr Bennetts said. As a result, the boy would often fall asleep in class, causing a dramatic decline in his learning. He would end up being caned by the headmaster as punishment for dozing off. The court heard another boy said Baker would wake him in the middle of the night and abuse him almost nightly for three years. Another told investigators that Baker was in charge of the Scouts, karate and swimming, adding: 'Anything good that you wanted to do as a boy, Baker was in charge of it.' Baker allegedly told the boy that he had a small penis because he did not 'exercise it' enough with other boys. Mr Bennett said the boy resisted

Manuel Pellegrini has claimed that Manchester City’s players would never surround the referee in the way Chelsea harangued Dutch official Bjorn Kuipers during their Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain. Jose Mourinho’s side were fiercely criticised for urging Kuipers to send off PSG star Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Wednesday, and Pellegrini warned there must be a limit to what teams will do to achieve victory. ‘You will never see the City players surround the referee,’ said Pellegrini. ‘Maybe you can discuss with the referee about a decision but just one moment in the game. Every time the referee has a decision you have all the players on top of him and it’s impossible for the referee to work. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (centre) holds his hands up after the challenge as the Chelsea players begin their protests . Chelsea striker Diego Costa makes a beeline for Ibrahimovic as Bjorn Kuipers raises the red card . Chelsea players surround Kuipers during Chelsea's Champions League clash against PSG . Chelsea's players surround the Dutch official as he sends off Ibrahimovic (second right) in the first half . ‘I think all the managers prepare their players to win, but there are different ways to win. You must analyse which is the correct way. They always try to pressure the referee in every decision, so the referee always has problems.’ The Premier League champions are in danger of surrendering their title to Chelsea. And Pellegrini’s position will come under more scrutiny if City go out of the Champions League at Barcelona on Wednesday. Manuel Pellegrini claims that he would like to extend his contract at the Etihad despite interest from Napoli . Napoli boss Rafael Benitez is yet to be offered a new contract with the Italian Serie A side . His agent, Jesus Martinez, has suggested that the 61-year-old Chilean could take over from Rafael Benitez at Napoli this summer, but Pellegrini claimed that he would like to extend his contract at the Etihad. He said: ‘I have a contract here until June 2016 and I will stay. If I can extend it I will. When I sign a contract I always try to finish it.’ Pellegrini must decide whether to reinstate captain Vincent Kompany at Burnley today after dropping the defender for last week’s win at home to Leicester City.

Summary: Manuel Pellegrini has hit out at Chelsea for their lack of respect to officials . Chelsea crowded Bjorn Kuipers during the midweek clash with PSG . The players urged Kuipers to send off Zlatan Ibrahimovic during the game . Pellegrini says there needs to be a limit to what teams will do to win .


Doctors stress the importance of detecting disease early on to give people the best chance of recovery. And in the very near future you could get these early warning signs using just your smartphone. A San Francisco firm has developed a sensor that identifies gases and molecules released in a person’s breath that could hint at an underlying illness. Doctor in a stick? The very early model of the sensor (pictured) has been created by San Francisco-based BoydSense and is on display at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona . Advanced software and prediction algorithms are then used with a connected app to reveal any anomalies. The very early model of the sensor has been created by San Francisco-based BoydSense and is on display at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Endogenous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released either through everyday metabolic activity, or by diseases in the body. Once created, they travel into the blood and are released in urine or breath. In addition to detecting volatile compounds in the breath, the firm said the sensor could be used to identify compounds released by rotting food . Some compounds, including carbon for instance, are released naturally. BoydSense has therefore developed software that can identify at which point the level of a gas or compound is beyond what is considered normal. It uses predictive algorithms to then convert the data so that patients and doctors can understand what the results mean. It is hoped that complex processing will prevent needless worry or give a false reading that suggests they are ill. If the sensor is added to a smartphone, for example, a patient could record their breath and the results could be sent to their doctor automatically. In particular, the sensors build on current breath gas analysers that are used to detect early signs of diabetes and even lung cancer. In addition to detecting volatile compounds in the breath, Mr Thuillier said the sensor could be used to identify compounds released by rotting food. In the MailOnline demo, the BoydSense sensor was able to detect an orange within 30 seconds . BoydSense’s boss Bruno Thuillier gave MailOnline a demo of the technology at Mobile World Congress. The current sensor is a prototype and syncs with a smartphone via Bluetooth - although Mr Thuillier hopes future models will be embedded into the phones themselves. It takes around a minute to normalise and stabilise, a process needed to ensure that any readings are not contaminated by previous ‘sniffs’. This process is expected to be much faster on a finalised version, however. For the demo, the sensor is then placed inside a jar containing molecules released by oranges. Within about 30 seconds the sensor beeped to say it had recognised the molecules and a picture of an orange appeared on the connected smartphone. This was a simplified way of demonstrating its capabilities, but Mr Thuillier explained that the compounds released by oranges and vanilla - another jar in the demo - were complex enough to show its potential. If attached to a smartphone,

Summary: The technology has been developed by BoydSense . It recognises and analyses gases for so-called biosignatures . Gases on the breath, for example, can be early indicators of disease . Sensor could also reveal if food in your fridge is near its sell-by date . Inventor hopes to add the technology to future smartphonesAnd he said sensors could be ready by the end of this year .

Ikea is to launch a range of desks, tables and lamps that will wirelessly charge mobile phones. The Swedish furniture giant revealed today that the new collection will use Qi wireless technology to power-up compatible devices that are placed on or near the furniture. The Home Spot range of desks, bedside tables and lamps will hit stores in Europe and North America next month - with an international roll-out set to follow. Latest range: Swedish furniture giant Ikea said the new collection would use Qi wireless technology to charge devices that are placed on or near the furniture . Recipe: The Home Spot range of desks, bedside tables and lamps will hit stores in Europe and North America next month - with an international roll-out set to follow . Jeanette Skjelmose, Ikea’s lighting and wireless charging business area manager, said: ‘Through research and home visits, we know that people hate cable mess. ‘They worry about not finding the charger and running out of power. Our new innovative solutions, which integrate wireless charging into home furnishings, will make life at home simpler.’ Qi is said by its developers to be the most widely-used wireless charging type, and can be used in 3,000 public locations globally. There are now more than 80 Qi-enabled smartphones available. Among these are models of the Nokia Lumia, Samsung Galaxy, Google Nexus and Sharp Aquos. In the spotlight: Qi is said by its developers to be the most widely-used wireless charging type, and can be used in 3,000 public locations globally . Starting out: One technology industry analyst said it was a 'very early time in the furniture business to blend wireless technology' Menno Treffers, chairman of the Wireless Power Consortium - which developed Qi - said the new collection shows customers 'the beauty and simplicity of wireless charging'. The most common type of wireless charging is known as inductive charging, which works on a well-known but rarely-used principle most often seen in electric toothbrushes. It was discovered by British scientist Michael Faraday in 1831. Mobile phones are using a more advanced version of the technology, which can operate over centimetres, rather than millimetres. The docking station has a coil within the charger, which generates an electrical field around the device. When a suitable mobile phone is placed next to or on top of the station, a coil within the battery resonates with the primary field. It then takes power from the magnetic field and converts and stores it back as electrical energy. He added: ‘We applaud Ikea for its unmatched insight and their unique passion for making wireless charging affordable and simple for consumers.’ Two months ago Ikea - which employs 147,000 people worldwide - reported annual profits of €3.3billion (£2.4billion) for 2014, unchanged from the year before. One of the designers of the Home Spot range, David Wahl, said: ‘We have created smart wireless solutions so you don’t need to see the cables anymore. ‘Many products can be charged at the same time, but you still have a beautiful wireless home.’ Technology industry analyst Jeff Kagan said

Summary: Qi wireless technology will power-up devices placed on/near the furniture . Home Spot range will hit stores in Europe and North America next month . 80+ Qi-enabled smartphones are available - including Galaxy and Lumia .


For Italy manager Antonio Conte, Tuesday's friendly against England in Turin should have represented a triumphant homecoming to the stadium where he led Juventus to three Serie A titles before leaving last summer. After all, he remains unbeaten in charge of the Azzurri and Saturday night's 2-2 draw in Bulgaria keeps them firmly on course to qualify for Euro 2016. But instead of being guaranteed a hero's reception, Conte returns 'home' beset by the same kind of problems that England manager Roy Hodgson and FA chief Greg Dyke will recognise all too well from the perspective of another struggling superpower. Italy manager Antonio Conte led Juventus to a trio of Serie A titles before leaving last summer . A bitter club vs country row over an injury to Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio on international duty has made Hodgson's spat with Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers over Raheem Sterling 'Tiredgate' and Daniel Sturridge look like a vicar's tea party. John Elkann, an influential figure at Juventus, said Marchisio's knee sprain on Friday - originally diagnosed by the Italian FA medical staff as ligament damage - was due to being over-worked and said: 'Perhaps Conte would like to be remembered as the cherry-picker with the highest number of injuries.' It was inflammatory talk and the Italian football federation claimed Conte had received death threats from Juve fans over the internet as a result. In addition, there has been criticism of Conte's decision to include two South American-born players Eder and Franco Vazquez in his squad due to Italy's declining homegrown talent pool. Again, it is reminiscent of overtures made by England to Manchester United's Belgian winger Adnan Januzaj last year, a move that was condemned by Arsenal star Jack Wilshere and forced Dyke into a hasty U-turn. Conte has come under fire following an injury to Juventus star Claudio Marchisio (right) Against such a malignant backdrop, The Italian football federation will be relieved sensible ticket pricing means more families and less embittered Juve supporters will turn up on Tuesday to watch two nations who failed together to qualify from the same group at last summer's World Cup. Even more than in England, there is plenty of navel-gazing, politics and recriminations going on. And Conte, 45, remains half-irritated, half-cryptic about the gathering storm clouds above his head. 'I have the memory of an elephant. I only ask to be left to work in peace,' he said enigmatically after Eder had scored a stunning equaliser in rainy Sofia as a riposte to Roberto Mancini and others who condemned his inclusion. Conte is also certain Juventus hold a grudge against him because he left in order to replace Cesare Prandelli at national level. The Azzurri players are certainly behind Conte. Without attacking stars like Paolo Rossi, Roberto Baggio or Francesco Totti to call upon, the manager has had to rely on teamwork, a 3-5-2 system with wingbacks, and loyalty to his squad. Conte has also been criticised for including South American-born player Eder in his Italy squad . Southampton striker Graziano Pelle has kept his place despite a

Summary: Antonio Conte's Italy side face England in a friendly game on Tuesday . The Azzurri remain unbeaten under Conte's watch . Italy and England both failed to qualify from Group D at the last World Cup .

A seven months-pregnant woman whose baby was cut from her womb made a desperate 911 call after the brutal attack on Wednesday pleading for help as she was 'bleeding out'. The 26-year-old, identified at one point by the dispatcher as Michelle, spoke faintly on the six-minute call: 'She cut me in the stomach... I'm pregnant... I'm bleeding out.' The woman was able to give the dispatcher the address of the home in Longmont, Colorado where she had been attacked, adding that she was in the basement and had locked the door. She has multiple wounds, she said, and that the attacker broke a glass and stabbed her in the neck. The 911 dispatcher pressed her for the attacker's name and the woman responded that she didn't know the assailant and had gone to her home answering a Craigslist ad for baby clothes. She added: 'I was trying to leave.' Dynel Catrece Lane, 34, allegedly stabbed the 26-year-old in the stomach and pulled out the baby, killing the fetus in the process, police said on Thursday.
