Spain will have an extra incentive to win their friendly with Holland on Tuesday night, according to Manchester United midfielder Daley Blind. Blind was part of the Holland side which demolished Spain 5-1 at last summer's World Cup, a result which contributed to the holders exiting the competition at the group stage. Vicente del Bosque's men travel to Amsterdam to face Holland again - in a game which will be broadcast live on MUTV - and Blind believes they will be out for revenge.

Speaking to MUTV ahead of the game, Blind said: 'It's always nice to play against big teams like Spain. We know it will be difficult and a totally different game to the one at the World Cup. 'I would have some revenge feelings if I lost against a team too! That wouldn't only be after a game at the World Cup though. If you lose against any team you always want to win the next time you play them. So I think they will have those feelings.' Blind could come up against David de Gea on Tuesday and he is well aware how tough it will be to beat his in-form United team-mate.

'David is doing a great job here this season. He's one of the best keepers in the world at the moment. We're very happy that he's in the goal and he has made some great saves,' added Blind. 'All the credit goes to him. He works very hard and is getting better all the time. 'His shot-stopping is one of his best skills but you also have to look at how he plays [with his feet] and how he comes for crosses - the way he has improved that is very impressive. 'He has got better in every way. The skills when he is saving goals and also the skills with his feet - they make him an all-round keeper and that's one of the best things about him.' Daley Blind is set to face David De Gea's Spain with the Netherlands tonight. Fans can watch the game exclusively live only on MUTV in the UK and Ireland. Coverage from 19:30, kick off 19:45.

A NSW Police dog named Marco made headlines this week for saving the life of a missing man, after finding him stuck in a river and clinging to a tree in an area that had already been searched. Now another police dog has conducting another incredible rescued in in strikingly similar circumstances, after NSW Police dog Ulrich saved an elderly man who disappeared from hospital . On Monday, an 86-year-old man went missing from Maitland Hospital and a desperate three-day long search ensued. The man has been identified as Herbert 'Nobby' Bartlett and he had been in hospital recovering from a stroke he suffered six weeks ago, according to The Daily Telegraph. After four days missing he was found a mere eight minute walk from the hospital on Bonar Street, thanks to a dog who assumed his duties on Thursday morning and led police straight to the site. Police dog Ulrich found a lost man, 86-year-old Herbert Bartlett who was lost for four days in tall grass . Central Hunter Local Area Command had searched a number of towns using a great number of resources, including police officers, the SES and the Dog Unit. One of these dogs became an unassuming hero - a two-year-old German Shepherd named Ulrich. For almost four days Mr Bartlett was lost and disorientated laying helplessly in tall grass next to a lake. Police had already searched the area and surrounds numerous times but did not locate the lost man. However on Thursday morning, Ulrich was called in to investigate and reportedly led police straight to Mr Bartlett, locating the lost man by 11am. Fortunately, Mr Bartlett's condition reportedly had not deteriorate significantly despite his ordeal, according to The Daily Telegraph. The remarkable rescue came just days after an almost identical black German Shepherd saved an elderly man in similar circumstances . Police dog Marco found a dementia patient in an area that had also been scoured by police on the Central Coast - just an hour away from Ulrich's rescue in Maitland. Police were called to an aged care home at Mardi, on the NSW Central Coast, on Saturday night after a 65-year-old dementia patient was reported missing. The man had failed to return to the Wyong Aged Care Facility after going outside earlier in the day. A NSW Police dog named Marco has saved the life of a 65-year-old dementia patient on the central coast .

The banks of the Dead Sea are under threat from soaring numbers of sinkholes that are appearing as the salt lake dries up, an environmental group has warned. EcoPeace Middle East estimates that there are more than 3,000 sinkholes now along the banks of the salt lake, which is bordered by Israel and Jordan. Water evaporation from the lake - which is occurring at nearly four feet per year - drawing freshwater into the pockets of salt left behind by the lake. Environmental groups report that there are now more than 3,000 sinkholes, shown above filled with water, along the banks of the main body of the Dead Sea, caused by the loss of water from the giant salt lake . As the salt dissolves in the fresh water, it causes the earth above it to collapse. Gidon Bromberg, director of EcoPeace Middle East claims that the appearance of the sinkholes has been accelerating in recent years. For thousands of years, the Dead Sea has attracted visitors who come to float in its salty waters and reap its reported health benefits. But the salt lake's water elves have fallen from 394 metres below sea level in the 1960s to about 423 meters below sea level at the end of 2012. As a result, the Sea’s water surface area has been reduced by one third: from roughly 950 square kilometers to 637 square kilometers today. The water level continues to drop at an alarming pace of 0.8 to 1.2 meters per year. The significant decline of the water level over the past 30 years is due to diversion of water from the Jordan River and from the Dead Sea itself due to population increase. The first one appeared in the 1980s, by 1990 there were 40 and by 2005 there were 1,000 holes. Now, Mr Bromberg says, a new sinkhole is appearing almost every day. Speaking to ABC News, Mr Bromberg said: 'These sink holes are a direct result of the inappropriate mismanagement of water resources in the region. 'They could develop overnight or over time, making them unpredictable and very dangerous.' Mr Bromberg and his colleagues believe the rate of these sinkholes appearing has been increased by the construction of dams and reservoirs beside the lake. Water is also pumped from the lake to be evaporated so that minerals such as potash and bromide can be extracted. Water is also pumped from the lake to help maintain the pools that sit outside the spa hotels that attract tourists from around the world. Sitting nearly 1,300ft below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest inland area in the world and has a salinity of almost 33 per cent. Sink holes like this one at Mineral Beach beside the Dead Sea on the West Bank are becoming more common . These sinkholes appeared in the fields in south east corner of the Dead Sea near to the Lisan Peninsula . It has historically been maintained by a flow of fresh water from rivers and streams that have equaled the water is loses to

Summary: Environmental group estimates there are 3,000 sinkholes beside Dead Sea . It claim that new sink holes are on the banks appearing almost every day . They say the lake is being over exploited causing it to drop by 4 feet a year . Fresh water is being drawn into salt pockets left behind by receding lake . This dissolves the underground salt, causing the earth above to collapse .

Former F1 world champion Fernando Alonso was so badly concussed in his pre-season crash last month that when he regained consciousness he had forgotten the past 20 years of his life, it has been reported. Alonso, who races for McLaren-Honda, crashed at 150mph on February 22 during pre-season testing and was rushed to hospital where he spent three days under observation. Asked by doctors who he was, what sort of work he was in and what he wanted to be in the future, he replied: 'I'm Fernando, I drive go karts and I want to be a Formula 1 driver,' it is claimed. Scroll down for video . Formula 1 ace Fernando Alonso waves to supporters as he leaves hospital on February 25 . McLaren-Honda claimed doctors found Alonso to be 'asymptomatic' with 'no evidence whatsoever of any injury'. Here he is pictured in hospital following the accident . Two days ago McLaren-Honda stated doctors had found the 33-year-old to be 'asymptomatic', with 'no evidence whatsoever of any injury' and 'entirely healthy from neurological and cardiac perspectives'. However, worrying reports in Spain's El Pais newspaper suggest his concussion was so severe when doctors asked him questions he thought it was 1995 and aged 13. The paper also claimed he could not remember his F1 debut in 2001, the victories of his beloved Real Madrid or his two world championship titles and it took him a week to recover these memories. Meanwhile, McLaren-Honda confirmed two days ago that he would be sitting out the start of the F1 season on doctors' advice. A spokesperson said: 'His doctors have advised that he should not compete in the imminent Australian Grand Prix meeting, which will take place on March 13th, 14th and 15th. 'Fernando has understood and accepted that advice, and the two McLaren-Honda cars will therefore be driven in Australia by Fernando’s team-mate Jenson Button and the team’s test and reserve driver Kevin Magnussen.' McLaren did not respond to MailOnline's request for comment. The Spaniard was then airlifted by helicopter to hospital following the crash, which happened during the final day of the Formula One pre-season test at the Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya. At the time, McLaren said the two-time former world champion was 'conscious and able to speak' while receiving first aid at the circuit's medical centre, but had been taken to hospital for 'precautionary checks'. After several hours of tests and observation, the team later added that Alonso was 'uninjured' but had suffered concussion in the accident, which took place just before turn four on the track.

Home ownership will become a 'distant' dream for an entire generation, with just one in five under-35s able to buy a house by the end of the decade, Labour claims today. A dramatic slump in property ownership among the young from 60 per cent to 20 per cent in a generation means a record number of people in their twenties and thirties are still living with their parents. Shadow housing minister Emma Reynolds warns five more years of the Tories' 'failed plan' will create a housing gap between those on the property ladder and millions forced to rent. By 2020, just 21 per cent of under-35s will own their own home if the current trend continues, according to Labour. In 1991 the figure was 60 per cent . Latest figures show that just 31 per cent of people aged 16-35 owned their own home in 2012-13, down from 10 per cent in the year before the last election. Labour warns that if the trend continues, it will mean that by 2020 just 21 per cent of young people will be on the property ladder. In a speech today, Miss Reynolds will say: 'Over the past five years, David Cameron has presided over the lowest levels of house building in peace time since the 1920s. 'For a whole generation of young people and families the aspiration of buying their own home is becoming a distant dream. Shadow housing minister Emma Reynolds warns five more years of the Tories' 'failed plan' will create a housing gap between those on the property ladder and millions forced to rent . 'A record number of young people are still living at home with their parents in their twenties and thirties because they can't get on the housing ladder.' In 2001 more than half of under-35s (55 per cent) owned their home, and in 1991 it was as high as 60 per cent. At the same time, the proportion of over-75s owning a property has risen from 53 per cent in 1991 to 76 per cent in 2012-13. In a speech to the Town and Country Planning Association, Miss Reynolds will set out how Labour would try to reinvigorate the aspiration of home ownership. Overall, just 63 per cent of people own their own home, the lowest level since the mid-1980s. Labour claims that if the trend continues it will reach the lowest level for 40 years. 'After five years of empty announcements and failed initiatives the Tories are offering more of the same,' Miss Reynolds will say. 'But they can't even say how their latest pie-in-the-sky scheme will work or how they will pay for the £8.6 billion cost of the supposed 20 per cent discounts that are on offer. 'Five more years of the Tories' failed plan will see a growing housing gap, falling home ownership and unrealised aspiration for the next generation.' She will promise that Labour has a plan to build 200,000 homes every year by 2020. A Labour government would make tackling the housing crisis a 'national priority', giving communities stronger powers to

Summary: In 1991 60% of under-35s owned their home, falling to 31% in 2012-13 . If trend of last five years is repeated, figure will fall to 21% by 2020 . Labour warns of an end to the aspiration of buying a house to live in . Blames the Tories' 'failed plan' for failing to arrest decades of decline .


Kevin de Bruyne scored twice to put Wolfsburg in control of their Europa League tie with Inter, before the former Chelsea star jumped into the crowd to conduct the celebrations. De Bruyne produced a brilliantly display on the pitch, and then led the Wolfsburg supporters in their post-match chanting, as the German side came from behind to give themselves an excellent chance of progress. Rodrigo Palacio had put the visitors ahead after just five minutes, but Inter struggled to defend what should have been a valuable away goal, and Naldo powered a header home to equalise after half an hour from a De Bruyne corner.

The Argentine is mobbed by his team-mates as Inter took the lead on the counter, against the run of play .

Kevin de Bruyne added two goals in the second half to put the German club in control of the tie .

Referee: Szymon Marciniak (Poland) And in the second half De Bruyne, formerly of Chelsea, stole the show, finding the net from a neat cut-back and then an excellent free kick, although both goals owed much to the poor goalkeeping of Juan Pablo Carrizo. The Belgian's first goal came after Vierinha had seized on a poor clearance from the Inter keeper, surged into the box, and crossed perfectly for De Bruyne to slide home. Then, with 15 minutes to go, the former Chelsea forward's free kick snuck past Carrizo, despite it being aimed at the side of the goal he was meant to be covering. De Bruyne could easily have completed a hat-trick, but he shot wide when through on goal in the closing stages, with only Carrizo to beat. Wolfsburg showed that they could continue their good form without goals from Europe's hottest striker at the moment, Bas Dost. The Dutchman was well below his best before he was replaced midway through the second half by Niklas Bendtner, but De Bruyne took up the slack. Inter, meanwhile, under former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini, were poor for large periods of the game, offering little going forward, and unable to keep up the defensive solidity they had shown in the first half once they began to tire in the second 45. De Bryune decided to conduct his own chanting with the Wolfsburg supporters after their win . The team clap the fans behind one goal after De Bryune's amusing antics . Bas Dost may be the most

The man who became an internet sensation after he badly missed a $1million halfcourt shot has revealed he came up short because his strength is gone due to a rare disorder that caused five of his organs to fail. Scott Park took, and missed, the halfcourt shot on Friday during halftime of the ACC Tournament semifinal between Notre Dame and Duke. A Vine capturing his failed attempt quickly began spreading on the internet. It has been viewed more than 7.6 million times, although there is no way to know how many mean comments have been made. Scott Park, 56, took a halfcourt shot at halftime of the ACC semifinal game between Notre Dame and Duke . His attempt fell badly short of the mark and a Vine capturing the moment began spreading on the web . Park, 56, knew the ball wasn't going in when he shot it because serious medical problems have sapped his strength, but he still wanted to give it a try, according to the Sporting News. Those who laughed shouldn't feel too badly, though. The Navy environmental engineer doesn't have a problem with all the attention the shot has gotten. He said: 'I'm happy to be alive. I'm happy to even have a chance to shoot for a million dollars. 'I had no illusions that ball was going in.' In 2007, Park had open heart surgery and was forced to go back to the hospital two days later because something was wrong. Doctors couldn't figure out why, but Park's kidney, liver, spleen, gallbladder and pancreas were shutting down. Things got so bad that one of Park's doctors began preparing his wife Ellen for his death. Park's wife Ellen was at the game. He has a blood disorder called catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome . Patients with CAPS like Park have a 48 per cent mortality rate, primarily due to sudden cardiac arrest . After a last-ditch effort, all of Park's organs, except his kidney, began to respond and he was eventually diagnosed with a blood disorder called catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS). The rare disorder has only been diagnosed about 400 times. The syndrome is 'a rapidly progressive life-threatening disease that causes multiple organ thromboses and dysfunction in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies', according to the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine. Patients with CAPS have a 48 per cent mortality rate, primarily due to sudden cardiac arrest. Park had two years of dialysis but was able to get a kidney transplant from someone who goes to his church. He survived becoming the first person in the world with CAPS to have successful transplant surgery of any kind. The medical miracle, who lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia, now must take 39 pills each day and get an injection of an experimental drug once every two weeks, but he's healthy. All of that explains why the joke really wasn't on Park at all. He said: 'The Lord has blessed me probably as much or more than a lot of people. 'I feel that every day. 'God has been a power in my life,

Families will enjoy the biggest boost to their finances for more than a decade as inflation is set to tumble to zero while wages rise. Inflation has already plunged to 0.3 per cent – its lowest level since 1960 – after a big fall in the cost of essentials such as food and fuel. And Bank of England governor Mark Carney told Parliament yesterday that it would ‘likely fall further to around zero in the coming months, and remain near there for much of the year’. Scroll down for video . Mark Carney said prices were likely to remain flat for the rest of the year because of falling prices of oil and food . The Bank also forecasts that real post-tax income is expected to rise by 3.5 per cent this year as the long squeeze on living standards comes to an end. That means British households can expect their biggest boost in spending power since 2001, experts say. Chancellor George Osborne hopes that the easing pressure on family finances and the continuing economic recovery will help the Conservatives at May’s general election. Tory strategists believe the party’s move ahead of Labour in recent opinion polls shows more voters are starting to feel the benefits of the economic turnaround. Labour planned to make a ‘cost of living crisis’ a major election issue, but the news seems to support Conservative claims that their economic plan is working. Last night the Treasury hailed Mr Carney’s inflation forecast as ‘good news’ for households. Mr Carney, giving evidence to the House of Lords economic affairs committee, said: ‘The combination of rising wages and weak headline inflation will strengthen household finances and boost real take-home pay growth this year to the fastest rate in a decade. In turn, this will support continued solid growth in consumer spending.’ Inflation has already hit the lowest level on record - hitting just 0.3 per cent in January - but Mr Carney said it would be 'extremely foolish' to slash interest rates to try to get inflation back to its target rate of 2 per cent . Mr Carney warned that interest rates are likely to rise at some point – but said that when that happens the increases will be ‘gradual’ and ‘limited’. Rates have been frozen at a record low of 0.5 per cent for more than six years. There has been speculation that the Bank could cut rates even further – towards zero – if inflation threatened to fall too far and turn into a dangerous bout of deflation. Such a move would spell misery for savers – who have already missed out on around £130billion in interest payments because of ultra-low rates – but would be welcomed by borrowers. But Mr Carney yesterday insisted that it would be ‘extremely foolish’ to cut rates to counter the uncontrollable fall in global oil prices. He said it would risk adding ‘unnecessary volatility in inflation’ and that he expects inflation to return to its 2 per cent target ‘within two years’. A report by the British Chambers of Commerce,

Summary: Inflation hit 0.3% in January - already the lowest level on record . But in a boost for families the Bank chief said inflation would fall to zero . Mr Carney said prices were unlikely to rise for the the rest of the year . But he said it would be 'extremely foolish' to slash interest in response .


British holidaymakers face three more years of being ripped off by extortionate mobile phone 'roaming charges' after Brussels failed to scrap them as promised. EU governments agreed that the roaming charges for mobile phone users abroad should stay in place until at least until the end of 2018. The decision comes despite MEPs voting for an end to the charges which they said were too high. The European Parliament had said roaming charges should be scrapped by the end of 2015. British holidaymakers face three more years of being ripped off by extortionate 'roaming charges' for using their mobile phones abroad . But at a meeting in Brussels, EU governments tonight agreed to allow large mobile phone firms to continue levying extra charges on travellers for at least another three years, when the situation could be reviewed. Governments said consumers should be given a small roaming allowance to use outside their home country from the middle of next year, but any usage above it should still be subject to further charges. The decision is a major blow to British tourists travelling to Europe. A recent study showed that the average British person spends an extra £120 on their mobile phone on each trip abroad. The issue of scrapping roaming charges has seen the EU come head-to-head with the telecoms industry, who argue it will affect their revenues. Tonight's decision comes despite the European Parliament's decision to scrap roaming charges by the end of 2015 . Some members of the parliament immediately criticised the decision. The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats said: 'The only winners from it are national telecoms operators themselves. Member states should hang their heads in shame.' European consumer groups, speaking through an umbrella organisation, the BEUC, condemned the plan as 'outrageous'. 'Roaming is not justifiable in a single market,' they said. The member states must now agree a common position with both the European Parliament and Commission before changes take effect, so negotiations in the coming months are likely to be hard-fought. Current charge caps are €0.24 (20p) per minute for calls, €0.08 (7p) per text message and €0.45 (37p) per megabyte of data, all excluding VAT. From July 2014 those will be reduced to €0.19 (16p) per minute for calls, €0.06 (5p) per text and €0.20 (17p) per MB of data. Receiving a text in Europe has been free since 2009.

Summary: EU governments said the roaming charges should stay in place until 2018 . Comes despite MEPs voting for an end to the charges by the end of 2015 . The European Parliament said roaming charges were too high .


A mansion on London's Billionaire's Row which was built by the owner of the Tate and Lyle sugar empire has sold for £25million - just a quarter of its original asking price. Heath Hall on The Bishops Avenue in Hampstead, north London, a 24,000 sq/ft trophy home set in a plot of around 2.5-acres, was put on the market three years ago for £100 million. Property tycoon Andreas Panayiotou bought it as a rundown wreck for £5 million in 2006 and then set about transforming the property into his dream home. Scroll down for video . Bargain: Heath Hall, on The Bishops Avenue in Hampstead, north London has sold for £25million around a quarter of its original asking price . After spending a fortune on a lavish refurbishment, the businessman put it on the market in 2011 for a staggering £100 million - making it the most expensive home for sale on the open market in the UK. However, a year later the price was dropped to £65 million. It was then thought the home, which is more than 25 times the size of the average new build, would be quickly snapped up. But a buyer could not be found and Heath Hall, which was originally built in 1910 for sugar magnate William Park Lyle, has languished on a stagnating market - until this week. A deal has now been struck but not for anywhere near £65 million. Instead, the new buyer is thought to have paid just £25 million for one of London's grandest private homes. Palatial: The property was built for sugar magnate William Park Lyle in 1910, but fell into disrepair in the 1950s while under the ownership of the Bank of China . Eat your heart out: The magnificent three-story house was brought back to its glorious best thanks to a massive renovation by property tycoon Andreas Panayiotou . The developer employed a team of 120 tradesmen for the renovation, adding a further 8,000sq/ft to the already substantial 19,000sq/ft . Mark Pollack, director of Aston Chase, whose agency acquired the mansion wouldn't reveal the identity of the purchaser or the price paid but confirmed the new owner is now set to carry out a major fresh refurbishment and re-landscaping of the grounds. Mr Pollack said: 'This is a truly magnificent property. There is 24,000 sq/ft of space on a 2.4-acre plot, with an exceptional frontage and thus, the property has huge kerb appeal for an ultra-high net worth purchaser. 'The original £100 million asking price was over-ambitious for a property in Kenwood as this equates to £3,700 per sq/ft which is only really achievable in the golden postcodes. 'Our objective was to acquire it for our client who recognised the immense potential of Heath Hall. They are naturally very excited about buying it and intend to spend many millions upgrading the property. 'The accommodation is arranged over three floors only which is very unusual as most trophy homes in London with similar square footage invariably have 30 - 40 per cent of the accommodation below ground. 'I firmly

Scott Hoyle, 48, is on trial accused of killing a former Royal Marine who died when an alleged stunt in a vintage Tiger Moth aircraft went wrong . A former Royal Marine pilot killed his passenger after crashing his aircraft while performing a 'foolish and dangerous' loop-the-loop at a low height, a court has heard. Scott Hoyle, 48, allegedly carried out the acrobatic manoeuvre in his Tiger Moth plane, despite passenger Orlando Rogers being too big for the move to be carried out safely. The court heard how Hoyle, described in court as a novice, was 'reckless' for attempting to perform the stunt at a height 'at which recovery was improbable'. Hoyle's 'risk-taking' allegedly caused the plane to nose-dive into a field near Witchampton, Dorset, killing Mr Rogers. The 26-year-old was a former Royal Marine who served in Afghanistan and Northern Ireland. Hoyle, from Broadstone, Dorset, also suffered serious injuries during the crash, from which he has since recovered. He denies manslaughter and endangering the safety of an aircraft. Opening the case at Winchester Crown Court, Michael Bowes QC, prosecuting, said: 'The prosecution case is that the fatal crash was caused as a result of conscious risk-taking by Scott Hoyle, in that he flew the aircraft in a way which created an obvious risk of serious injury to Orlando Rogers, and Scott Hoyle either chose to disregard it or was indifferent to it. 'The prosecution submits that what he was intending to do was plainly dangerous and created an obvious risk of serious harm.' Mr Bowes told the jury of six men and six woman that, at 18st 7lbs and 6ft 2in, Mr Rogers' size placed restrictions on how the aircraft should be manoeuvred, something Hoyle should have known and made the flight unsafe. He said Hoyle had flown 35 hours in the aircraft, making him a 'novice' in it, and that he was not trained to perform the loop-de-loop manoeuvre he was alleged to have been attempting. The jury was told the flight was the second Hoyle had flown from the Compton Abbas airfield in Dorset that day, having taken another friend up in his plane earlier. Mr Bowes said he had successfully completed several loops with the other passenger and that GPS tracking suggested he crashed near where these previous acrobatics had taken place. 'The location of the fatal manoeuvre and the improbability of Scott Hoyle's own account of the loss of control, and evidence from eye witnesses on the ground, all point to the fact that this was indeed an attempted loop,' said Mr Bowes. The plane crashed into a field near Witchampton, killing Mr Rogers. The 26-year-old was a former Royal Marine who served in Afghanistan and Northern Ireland and ran a maritime security company . Hoyle had flown 35 hours in the aircraft, making him a 'novice' in it. He was not trained to perform the loop-de-loop manoeuvre he was alleged to have been attempting, the court heard . The court heard how the pair took off from the airfield at about 2.49pm, with the weather described

Summary: Scott Hoyle, 48, took Orlando Rogers for a flight in his Tiger Moth aircraft . He allegedly performed stunt despite Rogers being too big for it to be safe . Plane crashed into field in Witchampton, killing Rogers and injuring Hoyle . Hoyle had flown 35 hours in the aircraft making him a 'novice', court told . Expert told court move was 'foolish and dangerous' because of low height . Hoyle, from Broadstone, Dorset, denies manslaughter - the trial continues .

It's fair to say that Mario Balotelli hasn't quite hit the ground running at Liverpool, and according to his agent that could be down to his struggle to cope with the high demands of manager Brendan Rodgers. Balotelli has scored just one Barclays Premier League goal this season - and cryptically revealed on Wednesday that 'someone doesn't like me'. And his agent Mino Raiola says Rodgers is asking more of him than any other manager has done in a career that has seen him work under the likes of Jose Mourinho and Roberto Mancini. Mario Balotelli has spent a fair amount of time on the bench after finding it tough to meet expectations . Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers asks Balotelli to track back, something he has never been asked to do . 'Right now, I think Mario has a very interesting development for his career,' Raiola said. 'He has found a coach who asks of him things that had never been requested of him until now, including the discipline of running without the ball. But Raiola sees the challenge issued to Balotelli as a positive - despite the expectation that he will be cast off by the Anfield club in the summer. 'This allows him to grow as a person and as a football player,' Raiola told RMC. 'He'll come out even stronger.' Balotelli is again expected to start on the bench when Liverpool face Blackburn Rovers in their FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday. Balotelli looks towards Rodgers as he is subbed off in Liverpool's defeat against Besiktas in Turkey .

A plus-size blogger who once suffered from an eating disorder has revealed why she feels she is prettiest at her heaviest weight and – and why she proudly calls herself fat – as she strips down to her underwear while on camera for a new body image campaign. Marie Southard Ospina, from Brooklyn, New York, sheds her clothing as a part of StyleLikeU's video series, The What's Underneath Project, in which a select group of individuals were asked to remove their clothes in order to help prove that style is really about knowing who you are and being comfortable in your own skin. 'I try to use the word fat a lot in my writing,' the 23-year-old says in her video. 'I use it to describe myself quite a lot, and I think people's initial reaction is, "You're not fat. You're beautiful." That in itself is problematic because that just implies that you can't be fat and beautiful.' Scroll down for video . Great cause: Marie Southard Ospina shed her clothes as part of StyleLikeU's new body image video series titled The What's Underneath Project . She adds: 'It's a characteristic. It's not this horrendous thing.' When the clip opens, Marie is fully dressed and sitting on a stool in front of a brick wall. She first removes her hat and throws it on the ground before she begins to describe her past struggles with body image. 'For a long time my style was just about kind of concealing by body and for maybe until my early twenties it was just about hiding any kind of excess fat,' she says. Marie explains that she now likes to 'counter a lot of the rules' that plus-size women are told to follow, particularly when it comes to fashion, which means she favors tight-fitting dresses and skirts, as well as bold prints and other things 'that aren't necessarily designed to make you more invisible'. She adds that people have been 'taught that fat is an inherently bad thing', so when they see a larger woman in clothes that show off her body, they are opposed to it. Throughout the video, Marie removes her layers of clothing one piece at a time. She recalls being relatively thin as a child, but says she started gaining weight when she was about nine-years-old. She remembers being bullied in elementary school and describes how her family members would make comments about how she needed to start doing sports. Marie notes that, because she takes after her father, who is 6'2 and heavy set, her Colombian mother and her relatives didn't understand how her bone structure was different. While their idea of beauty is large breasts and thick thighs – they don’t understand women who are classed as ‘fat’. Lots of layers: The 23-year-old blogger was fully dressed at the start of the clip . Newfound confidence: Marie removes her clothes as she explains that she once had an eating disorder and struggled with body acceptance . 'If I was going to be curvy, I was going to be fat

Summary: Marie Southard Ospina is one of several people taking part in a video campaign titled The What's Underneath Project . The campaign is aimed at changing the way in which society views body image in relation to fashion and style .


Germany should pay reparations to Greece for ‘serious wrongs’ by the Nazis, members of Angela Merkel’s ruling coalition said last night. The German Chancellor has angrily rejected demands from Greek ministers for Berlin to pay £240billion in compensation for Nazi atrocities during the Second World War. But, in an astonishing twist, senior members of the SPD, which shares power with Mrs Merkel, yesterday disagreed. Senior figures in Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition partner in government have united with the Green Party to declare Germany should compensate Greece to the tune of billions of pounds for wartime Nazi atrocities . Gesine Schwan said: ‘I think it would be good for us Germans to sweep up after ourselves in terms of our history. It is about recognising that we have committed serious wrongs in Greece. ‘The government’s legal case isn’t convincing. It leaves a bad impression that Germany doesn’t want to face up to its responsibilities.’ Ralf Stegner, SPD deputy leader, said: ‘We should not link the question of compensation with the current debate on the euro crisis. But I am of the opinion that we need to discuss compensation regardless.’ Green party parliamentary group leader Anton Hofreiter said: ‘Neither morally nor legally is this chapter complete.’ About 250,000 Greeks died during the brutal Nazi occupation. Greece’s new hard-Left rulers are demanding billions in return. Justice minister Nikos Paraskevopoulos said this month that German assets in Greece could be seized. Athens is demanding general compensation as well as specific claims for massacres and forced loans. Some senior German politicians view the Greek demand for up to £250billion in reparations for the Nazi occupation as a ploy to gain more time and money to settle its chronic debt crisis. Pictured is an anti-austerity and pro-government demonstration in Athens that took place in February . German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble has said: ‘They won’t get their debts paid by conjuring German obligations from World War Two.’ Mrs Merkel’s spokesman said the question was ‘legally and politically closed’. But Eberhard Rondholz, a historian who has studied the issue, told the Financial Times: ‘The government view is false. This issue is not closed – it is very much open.’ Spiegel news magazine yesterday said lawyers have told Mrs Merkel the Greeks may have a case. It says that a £2billion loan the Third Reich secured from Greece in 1942 was never repaid – £10billion today. Germany paid Greece £50million in 1960, but Athens says it was not enough.

Summary: Germany did pay some £50million in compensation to Greece after WW2 . However, the new government in Athens says it was never enough . Greece is demanding up to £250bn in reparations for the Nazi occupation .

Recalled paceman Josh Hazlewood took four wickets as Australia dismissed a wasteful Pakistan for 213 runs at the Adelaide Oval on Friday, boosting the co-hosts' hopes of a World Cup semi-final with India. Hazlewood, replacing seamer Pat Cummins, combined with left-armer Mitchell Starc to remove Pakistan's openers cheaply and returned to punch a hole through the Asian team's middle-order on a sun-drenched autumn day. Part-time spinner Glenn Maxwell took two wickets and Aaron Finch three catches at deep midwicket, as captain Misbah-ul-Haq and two other Pakistan right-handers gave up their wickets on a platter when attempting to clear the short boundary. Misbah won the toss and opted to bat first but the move backfired with openers Sarfraz Ahmed and Ahmed Shehzad both out within three balls before the sixth over. Sarfraz, on 10, edged a quicker ball from Starc to Shane Watson who took a fine, low catch diving to his right in the slips. Hazlewood (4-35) then struck to remove Shehzad for five, the opener edging behind to Australia captain Michael Clarke. Misbah was nearly out for a duck two balls later when the ball brushed his stump after clipping his thigh pad, but the bails stayed intact. He and number three batsman Haris Sohail battled to steady the innings and the Pakistan skipper smashed Maxwell over the fence twice. But Maxwell had the last laugh, breaking the 73-run partnership when Misbah miscued a slog-sweep straight to Finch in the 24th over. The writing was on the wall when Mitchell Johnson had Sohail out for 41 soon after, following up a venomous bouncer with a wide, fuller delivery to the left-hander who sent a leaden-footed edge to wicketkeeper Brad Haddin. Infuriatingly for Pakistan fans, Umar Akmal (20) and Shahid Afridi (23) repeated their captain's horrid dismissal, holing out to Finch on the rope off the bowling of Maxwell and Hazlewood respectively. That left Pakistan reeling at 158-6, but paceman Wahab Riaz added 30 runs with Sohaib Maqsood before the middle order batsman slashed Hazlewood straight to Johnson at cover to be out for 29. Wahab was out a few balls later for 16, nicking Starc behind to Haddin, before Sohail Khan sent a top-edge from a Hazlewood ball soaring high into the sky before landing in the wicketkeeper's gloves. Pakistan's tailenders nudged their team past 200 before all-rounder James Faulkner had a slogging Ehsan Adil caught for 15 on the penultimate ball of the allotted overs.

Summary: Australia need 214 runs to beat Pakistan in World Cup quarter-final . Paceman Josh Hazlewood took four wickets at the Adelaide Oval . Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc combined to remove Pakistan's openers . Spinner Glenn Maxwell took two wickets, Aaron Finch three catches .


Sportsmail columnist Martin Keown has picked his #one2eleven of stars he played alongside throughout his career, on The Fantasy Football Club on Sky Sports. It is little surprise the former Arsenal defender has chosen 11 players that once donned the red of the Gunners, but who makes his best line-up? Watch #one2eleven every Friday evening on The Fantasy Football Club, Sky Sports 1 or catch up On Demand. Sportsmail columnist Martin Keown (centre) has chosen his best XI he ever played with in his career . GOALKEEPER: DAVID SEAMAN . David Seaman has to be my No 1 goalkeeper. I'd come from Everton with Neville Southall. You couldn't look at Neville because if you looked at him he'd blame you if the ball was in the back of the net. But David was the complete opposite. David had really sort of soft hands. He was able to take the sting out of a shot. We had a decent defence but it was nothing without David in goal. RIGHT BACK: LEE DIXON . If I'm having to pick one, it has to be Lee Dixon. He was sort of my eyes and ears. He was almost part of my own body. I never had to look to my right because Lee was telling me everything that was going on. Arsenal's Lee Dixon (left) and Tony Adams (centre) shout at Barcelona's Phillip Cocu after a penalty incident . DEFENDER: TONY ADAMS . First bumped into him at the age of 13. Cockney lad, swaggering into the room. I was a little bit of a country bumpkin. We kind of set up a partnership in the youth team. I knew him inside out. I knew his strengths, I knew his weaknesses. He has to get into that team. There's no doubt about it. DEFENDER: SOL CAMPBELL . He turned up at Arsenal around all that publicity and expectation. It was on a train that didn't get out of the station to start with. Wenger stuck with him. Eventually once that train got going, it was unstoppable. It was a real force. He's quick, strong, could see danger. Once he was focussed, he was as good as anyone. LEFT BACK: ASHLEY COLE . Straight away I could see that this kid was going to be a bit special. Ashley would park himself around the senior players. He would listen in, he was a very, very quick learner. A real winner. Just disappointed he had to leave Arsenal early. Gunners captain Patrick Vieira lifts the FA Cup after Arsenal beat Manchester United in the final in 2005 . RIGHT WING: ROBERT PIRES . Just on another planet. The goal that stands out was at Villa Park when he knocks it over Peter Schmeichel. He'd just embarrassed a top keeper. He was just capable of that. You've got to look at what you see in training behind the scenes, and Robert Pires had people applauding the stuff he was capable of. MIDFIELDER: PATRICK VIEIRA . He was the catalyst for all the success that was to come. Without

Summary: Martin Keown named his #one2eleven XI on The Fantasy Football Club on Sky Sports . Eleven Arsenal players feature in Sportsmail columnist Keown's picks . Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp and Robert Pires feature, but who else?


A medieval man, who may have been a knight, died from injuries sustained from jousting, marks on his skeleton suggest. The remains were found at Hereford Cathedral and show signs of injury to the right shoulder as well as fractured ribs. Experts said the wounds are all consistent with injuries that are sustained through tourney or jousting. Did he ride in shining armour? A medieval man who is believed to be a knight, may have died from injuries sustained from jousting, marks found on this skeleton (pictured) suggest . Jousting involved two or more knights on horseback fighting with lances and was used in medieval times to practice battle skills and settle disputes. Archaeologists were excavating the remains at the Heritage Lottery-funded project between 2009 and 2011 – but investigations are still ongoing into some of the more unusual skeletons, including that of the knight. They have all been uncovered at the Cathedral, which was built in the early 12th Century and forms a Norman centre piece to the Historic City of Hereford on the banks of the River Wye. The knight was laid to rest in a partial stone lined burial, which was popular in the area between 1100 and 1300 – the late medieval period. The skeleton has many fractures to the ribs and right shoulder, some of which have healed and others have not, indicating they were caused on numerous occasions. The bones were found at Hereford Cathedral and show signs of injury to the right shoulder as well as fractured ribs (pictured far left) which experts say are consistent with jousting . The knight suffered an unusual twisting break to his left lower leg, so perhaps suffered a blow to his right torso and came off his horse while his left foot remained in the stirrup, causing his leg to twist. A modern recreation of a joust is pictured . Archaeologists were excavating the remains at the Heritage Lottery-funded project at Hereford Cathedral (marked on the map) between 2009 and 2011 – but investigations are still ongoing into some of the more unusual skeletons, including that of the knight . They suggest that the man did not recover from the wounds when he died, aged approximately 45. There is even a chance that his injuries may have caused his demise. The knight suffered an unusual twisting break to his left lower leg, so perhaps suffered a blow to his right torso and came off his horse while his left foot remained in the stirrup, causing his leg to twist. This is another injury that is consistent with jousting, according to experts at Headland Archaeology, based in Edinburgh. Jousting began with the emergence of the knights as warriors in the 10th century. Tournaments were organised as a way for them to practice their horsemanship and lance skills. A Frenchman called Godfrey de Preuilly is said to have arranged the first tournament in 1066,LordsandLadies.org reported. After the Normans conquered the English at the Battle of Hastings, they divided up land among themselves and set up the medieval feudal system, in

Summary: Skeleton was unearthed at Hereford Cathedral with hundreds of others . It's thought to date to the early medieval period, from 1100 and 1300 . It shows signs of injury to the right shoulder as well as fractured ribs . Experts say wounds are all consistent with injuries sustained in jousting . Some are unhealed, suggesting the knight may have died from injuries .

'I've been through quite a big style evolution over the last couple years,' she said. 'But more than that being down to me losing weight, I feel as though it's my age. As I'm getting older, I'm becoming more sophisticated and classic. 'However, since losing my weight I have enjoyed being more adventurous.' While she rocks sophisticated camel coats and chic vibrant blazers from her new range, the Newcastle local assures us that she'll never forget her roots. 'Am I over bodycon dresses? Gosh no!,' she laughed. 'I still love letting my hair down and wearing party dresses and jumpsuits. I will never forget my roots and I'm still a party girl at heart; my range still reflects that.

Barcelona defender Thomas Vermaelen is on track to return to action next month after being unable to make his debut for the club due to a hamstring tear that needed surgery. Vermaelen got injured at last year's World Cup in Brazil, before he signed for Barca, prompting some to question why the club completed the deal to sign the 29-year-old from Arsenal. In a message on his Facebook page, Vermaelen said on Tuesday that he had recently started running again and urged Barcelona fans to be patient.

Vermaelen (left) jokes with Luis Suarez (centre) ad Sergio Busquets (right) during a presentation . 'Everything is going according to plan, therefore I am right on schedule to get back in the squad in April,' he wrote. 'I am looking forward to contributing to Barca's success this season. 'It's a big step in my rehab starting running again. I am very happy to be outside again instead of staying inside in the gym all the time. It's hard work but it's worth it.' Vermaelen said Barca had been fully aware of the extent of his injury, which had not initially been diagnosed in tests conducted at the World Cup. 'Barcelona did notice the seriousness of the injury when they did the medical and there were two options,' he said. 'You could do surgery but they said it's not necessary you can do it with preventative exercises, make it as strong as you can and then it shouldn't be a problem. 'We spoke to a lot of specialists and they all said it's possible to do without surgery so for me it was an easy choice to go that way. 'It didn't work out. We tried for a couple of months and I could feel it wasn't the same as before. 'So we went to get some advice from another specialist, a very famous one, and he said maybe it's time to do surgery. I am just following the programme the surgeon told me to do and it's going well.' Ex-Arsenal defender Vermaelen got injured at last year's 2014 World Cup in Brazil with Belgium . Vermaelen said on Tuesday via his Facebook page that he had recently started running again .

When nurse Faye Gregson decided to share an intimate moment with her boyfriend, privacy wasn’t exactly utmost in her mind. Not only did her romantic liaison take place in the front seat of her Audi, but she was also parked in the middle of a zebra crossing. And to top it all off, she left her hazard lights flashing. Faye Gregson, 26, from Preston, was arrested by police after they found her car parked at an angle on a zebra crossing on Christmas Eve while she was straddling her boyfriend in the passenger seat . The 26-year-old, who was nearly twice the drink-drive limit, was arrested after police caught her straddling her boyfriend in the passenger seat. Yesterday, she was fined £300 and begged a judge not to take her licence, saying: ‘I’m really sorry. It won’t happen again.’ A court heard she had stopped in the middle of the road in Blackpool at around 2.30am on Christmas Eve before clambering on top of her boyfriend. Gregson, whose favourite books include Fifty Shades of Grey, had parked her black Audi at an angle on the crossing but put her hazard lights on to warn other drivers. The keen netball player at first denied she had been drinking and tried to get out of a breathalyser test by claiming that she had a cold, Blackpool Magistrates Court heard. But officers carried out the test anyway, describing her as ‘smelling of alcohol’ and having glazed eyes. Prosecutor Alison Quanbrough told the court they had spotted her because of her flashing hazard lights. Gregson initially denied being drunk, saying she had just finished a 15-hour shift at Preston hospital. She refused a breath test, saying she had a cold, but a urine test showed she was twice the drink-drive limit . ‘She was straddling a male in the passenger seat,’ said Mrs Quanbrough. ‘When she saw the police she got off the male. She then got into the driver’s seat and put on the seatbelt.’ Officers asked Gregson to step out of the car and found she was unsteady on her feet. But she said she had not been drinking, and claimed to have just finished a 15-hour shift at the Royal Preston Hospital, where she works. Gregson was taken to a police station where she refused to be breathalysed and was given a urine test instead. It showed she had 205 milligrammes of alcohol in her body. The maximum allowed by law is 107. Gregson, who had no previous convictions, later admitted being in charge of the car while over the limit. She apologised and pleaded with the court to let her keep her licence, saying: ‘I need my car to get to work at hospital as I work shifts.’ Magistrates agreed and instead ordered ten points to be added to her licence. Gregson, from Preston, was also told to pay £85 costs and a £30 victims’ surcharge. On her Facebook profile she lists Fifty Shades of Grey as one of her favourite books alongside What I Wish I Knew About Nursing. Pictures taken

Summary: Police saw Faye Gregson, 26, parked on zebra crossing on Christmas Eve . Audi A1 had hazards on and officers saw Gregson straddling boyfriend .

A fifth student at Wesleyan University has been arrested in connection with a 'bad batch' of party drug Molly that resulted in the hospitalization of 12 people, including two in a critical condition. Abhimanyu Janamanchi, 21, was among those treated at Hartford Hospital, 20 miles north of the college's campus in Middletown, Connecticut, on February 22 after taking the popular stimulant. He surrendered to police Friday morning on a warrant for drug charges relating to the particular batch of Molly, which officials believe may have included a mix of various designer drug chemicals. Now, he has been charged with distribution of a hallucinogen, possession of a hallucinogen and possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, among other counts. Fifth suspect: Abhimanyu Janamanchi (pictured in his mug shot), 21, has been arrested in connection with a 'bad batch' of drug Molly that resulted in the hospitalization of 12 people, including two in a critical condition .

They included Eric Lonergan (left), 22, of Rio de Janeiro, and Rama Agha Al Nakib (right), 20, a Syrian national . Also detained: The other two suspects are Zachary Kramer (left), 21, of Bethesda, Maryland, who was also released last month after posting a $5,000 bond, and Andrew Olson (right), of Atascadero, California . He has also been suspended from Wesleyan. 'Given the nature of the charges, we immediately suspended this student pending a formal hearing,' college spokesman Lauren Rubenstein said. 'Wesleyan takes very seriously allegations concerning the distribution of dangerous drugs.' Janamanchi, from Rockville, Maryland, is the fifth student to be arrested over the on-campus drug overdoses, which affected ten students at the private liberal arts school, as well as two visitors. Some of the victims had attended a rave music show on the night of February 21. The calls for medical attention began the next morning. Four students were transported to Hartford Hospital.

Junk food firms are targeting children with adverts for Haribo sweets and Coca-Cola on YouTube, an investigation has found. The adverts would breach the strict guidelines in place for television which ban them being screened close to children’s programs. But there are no rules in place for YouTube and they are being played before popular short films watched by up to five million children. Experts say that the adverts give children a subconscious craving and make them inclined to ‘grab the nearest sugary thing around.’ Vloggers’ sites such as Zoella's - followed by millions of girls on YouTube - are featuring adverts for products high in sugar like Coca-Cola and Haribo, and even gambling websites . An investigation found that video blogs - known as vlogs – popular with children aged 11 to 17 are being hijacked by 30 second adverts for junk food and online gambling sites. They are being played before popular films uploaded by a personality called Zoella, real name Zoe Suggs, a 24-year-old from Brighton. She records several films a week about what’s in her handbag, her thoughts on having babies and whether she should spend time with her best friend or boyfriend which are watched regularly by at least five million children and teenagers. Before watching the film, viewers are first played a 30 second advert which is chosen at random. Although some of these are for harmless products such as Dolmio pasta sauce or hair dye, others are for Haribo, Coca-Cola and for an online gambling website, according to the Independent newspaper. But a spokesman for YouTube said gambling adverts weren’t shown to children and teenagers as they could only be seen by viewers who had confirmed they were over 18. A third of children are overweight or obese by the time they leave primary school and the rates are amongst the worst in Western Europe. Although the watchdog Ofcom has enforced strict rules banning junk food adverts being screened close to children’s TV programs, they do not apply to YouTube. Campaigners are calling for the regulations to be toughed-up. Experts have warned of the dangers of advertising such products to young people, adding if they were broadcast on terrestrial children’s television, they would likely break Advertising Standards Authority rules . Professor Jason Halford, a health behaviour expert at the University of Liverpool, said: ‘Advertising does affect children in terms of what they purchase and reinforcing the brand. ‘But even beyond brand, our research has found it makes them grab the nearest sugary thing around, irrespective of their appetite.’ Christine Blower, chair of the National Union of Teachers said: ‘With approximately 30 per cent of UK children apparently either overweight or obese, it should be incumbent on the next Government to toughen the regulations so that children are not bombarded with junk food marketing when they are online.’ Graham MacGregor, chair of Action on Sugar said: ‘Regulations about online advertising need to mirror that of TV advertising.’ It is unclear the vloggers are aware of the products advertised before their posts and there was no response

Summary: Adverts feature products high in sugar like Coca-Cola and Haribo . Children watching video bloggers also being unwittingly exposed to them . These adverts, if broadcast on terrestrial children's TV, would be likely to break Advertising Standards Authority rules .

He said that, although police had cordoned off the scene, some of the mob ducked under the tape to see more. 'I just felt for the guy,' the witness said. 'I can't imagine what frame of mind he could be in to want to do this. As for those who did take pictures and posted them – they should be ashamed.'

'I can't stop thinking about it. I could have tried to help him. I am so heartbroken for him and his family. Onlookers were yelling at him to jump.' Others took to social media to tell of their disgust. One woman wrote: 'The fact people were shouting for the man to jump from that building in Southwater and filming it make me worry for our generation.

Louis van Gaal described his victory as 'one of the most important moments in my career' as Manchester United moved five points clear of arch-rivals Liverpool in the race for a Champions League place. Van Gaal refused to write off Liverpool's chances of finishing in the top-four but could not under-estimate the value of a 2-1 victory after Juan Mata struck twice. It was Liverpool's first Premier League defeat in 13 games since they lost 3-0 at Old Trafford in December. 'We beat Liverpool again,' said Van Gaal. 'They were in fantastic shape and we beat them with the old weapons – with the pressure on the ball in the first half. David de Gea uploaded a dressing room photograph of Manchester United's post-match celebrations . Juan Mata scored twice to secure three important points for the Red Devils away at Anfield . 'Now we are five points ahead of Liverpool, and six ahead of Tottenham and Southampton. To win in this moment is very important – one of the most important moments in my career. 'But there are still eight matches to go. That's 24 points. Liverpool can still be champions. When you are a top manager, or player or club – and Liverpool are – you have to deal with defeats. 'We have also dealt with defeats. We lost at home to Arsenal and then we had to play against Tottenham and Liverpool, and you have to manage that. Liverpool can do that also because they have a great manager, great club, great fans.' Van Gaal claimed that United had 'played Liverpool off the pitch' in a one-sided first half, but struggled after Steven Gerrard was sent of seconds after coming off the bench. Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney (second right) is congratulated by Louis van Gaal at full time . Van Gaal (centre) hailed his side's performance as they moved five points clear of Liverpool in the league . He added: 'It was the best first 45 minutes because in the second half we were not so good and that's a little bit amazing because we played 11 against 10. It should be easier than the first half but it was not. 'I know in a sense that Liverpool should press us and they did but we played them off the pitch in the first half and scored a fantastic goal and gave nothing away. 'I came in the dressing-room and gave all my compliments because I was so happy, but then in the second half everything changed because of the red card. Then we weren't playing like a team anymore. We were running with the ball and losing it unnecessarily. When we didn't have the ball we didn't press the opponent. That was different in the first half. 'Nevertheless, we didn't give many chances away. David de Gea has saved us a lot of times this season but I couldn't remember one save in this match.' Mata, scorer of both United goals, was happy with his performance after the game, and admitted that the last few months have

Summary: Juan Mata scored twice as Manchester United beat Liverpool at Anfield .

An Australian teenager who lost contact with family and friends when Cyclone Pam struck Vanuatu last week, has now been found. 18-year-old Zoe Marshall was spotted by Australian search helicopters on Pentecost Island this morning and was able to speak to her relieved family by phone. Her father, Rob Marshall, says she is 'safe and well' even though helicopters were unable to lift her and fellow volunteer, New Zealander Courtney Tilby, to safety because they were too close to a cliff. Zoe Marshall (pictured on the day she left for Vanuatu) has been found safe and well by rescue helicopters in Vanuatu. Zoe was volunteering for the charity Latitude near Namaram, on the island of Pentecost, when Cyclone Pam struck the islands . Rescue helicopters reportedly dropped a note to Ms Marshall and Ms Tilby with instructions on where to walk to safer ground so that they could be reached by rescuers today the Canberra Times reports. Zoe's father Rob tweeted this morning that his daughter was seen 'smiling and waving' by the helicopter. Using the hashtag #proudolddad he passed on one of the messages the family received from Zoe today. 'I really want to go back; I love my family and the kids. There's a lot to do out there,' she wrote . Ms Marshall was one of nineteen volunteer teachers who were unaccounted for after the category five cyclone swept through Vanuatu on March 13. Five of the volunteers were evacuated by Australian consular officials on Thursday and another eight people are expected to be rescued today, the Department of Foreign Affairs says. Until today, the family in Canberra hadn't heard from their daughter since the storm struck the islands. 'I love you more than most things': This was the last text message Alison Abernethy received from her daughter, Zoe Marshall, before the cyclone struck Vanuatu last week . As the cyclone approached, the aspiring engineering student had told her parents in a text message that the village was well-prepared and that it 'should be fine'. 'Sorry for the early text but don't know when phone will work. We've got cat 5 warning. Should hit us tonight. Should be all good,' she said. She said a rat had chewed part of her sandal and, to her parents' amusement, she pledged to fill the rat's nest with rocks after the storm passed. Zoe, who her mother Alison Abernethy describes as a teenager with 'a strong social conscience,' was donating her time to young people on the island, living in a village with 'limited electricity, no running water and pit toilets. Ms Abernethy told Daily Mail Australia her daughter would have tried to contact them if she could. 'She would have known that we're really worried about her,' Ms Abernethy had said, but it didn't help that she was staying in an 'incredibly remote' location. 'If you find her, just hand her a SatPhone or take a photo so that we know she's alive,' her mother had written in a blog post titled 'Where's my girl?' on Wednesday. Students and teachers at

Opponents of Vladimir Putin last night feared a new wave of political assassinations after a series of chilling death threats were issued to friends of murdered politician Boris Nemtsov. In Moscow, a funeral wreath was delivered to the home of an aide to Putin’s arch-enemy, exiled oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky. And amid reports of a ‘death list’ compiled by Chechen hitmen loyal to Putin, another in Nemtsov’s circle, glamorous socialite-turned-politician Kseniya Sobchak, yesterday said she had hired armed guards after being warned at his funeral: ‘You’re next’. The news came amid wild rumours over Putin’s continued non-appearance in public, fuelling talk of a power struggle behind the scenes. Fear: Friends of the murdered opposition leader Boris Nemtsov (right) are in fear for their lives, after rumours of a 'hit list' began to circulate - naming people like socialite-turned-politician Kseniya Sobchak (right) Disappearance: The rumours came as Vladimir Putin failed to appear in public - fuelling rumours of a behind-the-scenes power struggle . Sceptics were unconvinced by photos of the president meeting the chairman of Russia’s supreme court released on Friday, suspicious over when they were taken. Nemtsov, 55, was gunned down within yards of the Kremlin on February 27 while walking on a bridge with his girlfriend, model Anna Duritskaya, 23. Ms Sobchak, 33, said that since his funeral she has ‘enhanced her security’, adding: ‘Now I have to walk around with bodyguards.’ Khodorkovsky’s press secretary, Olga Pispanen, found the wreath containing 60 flowers outside her Moscow flat on Wednesday and uploaded a picture to Facebook. ‘There was no note,’ she told The Moscow Times. ‘I don’t know where it came from, but it is a funeral wreath.’ Khodorkovsky, once Russia’s richest man, served ten years in jail on fraud charges his supporters said were trumped up in revenge for the former oil tycoon interfering in politics. After being freed in 2013 he moved to Switzerland, but is often seen in London. Meanwhile, another friend of Nemtsov revealed just how rattled he became after receiving a death threat last summer, following a post on his blog about Chechens fighting alongside pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine. Ludmila Shabueva, a senior journalist at independent radio station Echo of Moscow, said: ‘Boris came to our station to take part in a show. I asked him why he looked so upset. ‘He replied, “Luda, they want to kill me” ... he showed me a text message which read, “Jackal. I will kill you.”’ November 1998: Less than four months after Putin took over takes at the KGB, Galina Starovoitova, the most prominent pro-democracy Kremlin critic was murdered. The politician, who was State Duma deputy at the time, was shot to death in the stairwell of her home in central St Petersburg in what appeared to be a 'politically motivated' attack. March 2000: Putin was elected as leader and Russian ordered attacks in Chechnya. Opposition leaders, especially those who reported on the conflict in Chechnya were killed. Reporters Igor Domnikov, Sergey Novikov, Iskandar Khatloni, Sergey Ivanov and Adam Tepsurgayev were all killed in 2000 alone. April 2003: Sergei Yushenkov,
