Natalia Revuelta Clews, the Cuban socialite who emptied her bank account and sold her diamond jewelry to support Fidel Castro when he was a little-known insurgent, has died at age 89. Ms Revuelta, who first caught the eye of the young revolutionary in 1952, opened her home for Castro to plot a barracks assault the following year that is considered the start of the revolution. They later had an affair that produced a daughter, Alina, 59, who as an adult became a harsh critic of the communist leader from exile in Florida. Natalia Revuelta Clews died at the age of 89 on Friday. The green-eyed socialite (pictured in 2003 standing in front of a painting of her youth) supported the insurgency of Fidel Castro during the Cuban Revolution . Carmen Garcia, Ms Revuelta's caretaker, told The Associated Press that Ms Revuelta died Friday and had been cremated in a private family ceremony. Ms Revuelta's longtime friend Natalia Bolivar, a renowned anthropologist, said Ms Revuelta had been ill after a fall. She suffered a stroke in 2014, according to El Nuevo Herald. Her family could not be reached for comment. She was 'one of the most exquisitely beautiful women in Cuba and a woman with an abnormally sensuous appetite for revolution and adventure,' Georgie Anne Geyer wrote in her biography of Castro, 'Guerrilla Prince.' Born Dec 6, 1925, 'Naty' Revuelta was an only child whose parents divorced when she was a toddler. Her mother remarried when she was 10, to an executive at the US-owned Havana Electric Company. She attended the American-run Ruston Academy in Havana and Mt St. Joseph's Academy, a Catholic girls' school in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania. She also studied business at Marjorie Webster College in Washington before returning to Cuba at 19, working first for the US Embassy and later for Standard Oil. Ms Revuelta was 22 when she married heart surgeon Orlando Fernandez, nearly 20 years her senior. She gave birth to a daughter, Nina, and became a fixture of Havana's social scene. She belonged to the Havana Country Club, played in weekly bridge and tennis tournaments and often lunched at a yacht club. 'Blonde, green-eyed, buxom and always in exuberant spirits, Naty was the kind of woman who stopped eyes and tongues when she entered a room,' Geyer wrote in 'Guerrilla Prince.' But Ms Revuelta was restless. Her husband worked long hours and she was tired of floating from one cocktail party to another, according to Wendy Gimble's 1998 biography, 'Havana Dreams.' Ms Revuelta (left in 2003) and Castro (right, in 1955) became lovers after he was released from prison . The result of Castro and Ms Revuelta's union was daughter Anna Fernandez, born in 1955, who has become a fierce critic of her father. She later fled the island in 1993 (pictured) with a false Spanish passport . She was also unfulfilled by motherhood. Ms Revuelta began attending meetings of the Orthodox Party, which opposed corruption in the government. At the time, Castro, then without his now-famous beard, was married to Mirta Diaz-Balart, whom he met while

Summary: Natalia Revuelta Clews sold her diamonds to support Cuban insurgency . Her daughter with Castro, Alina Fernandez, 59, became his fiercest critic . Rebel would write socialite passionate letters during his prison time . Castro has at least seven other children with three other women .

The pictures, published in a tabloid newspaper, were taken after the Scotland captain had allegedly spent Wednesday night drinking with friends in lap-dancing bars in the capital.

Lord Warner, pictured, has accused the Labour party leadership of scaremongering and risking patient care . ED Miliband’s pledge to rein in NHS ‘privatisation’ by capping profits of firms providing care has come under fierce attack from a former Labour health minister. As Labour made the NHS the central issue of its election campaign launch, Lord Warner accused his party leadership of scaremongering and risking patient care. He said competition between different providers was vital to ensure the NHS can cope with spikes in demand, which occur most winters. ‘It is very difficult for the NHS to cope with the peaks and troughs of demand without the involvement of the private sector,’ he said. Kicking off his campaign at the site of the 2012 London Olympics in east London, Mr Miliband said the election ‘may come down to the wire’, though his deputy Harriet Harman insisted Labour was already ‘within touching distance of victory’. His main policy announcement was that Labour would halt what he called a ‘tide of privatisation’ in the NHS. Firms brought in to provide free treatment to patients would be hit with a five per cent profit cap, he said. Labour said the cap would apply to all NHS contracts worth £500,000 or more. Any company that made more than five per cent from the contract would be forced to reimburse the NHS for any returns above the level of the cap. Local NHS commissioners would have the power to allow higher profits in exceptional circumstances, if approved by NHS England or the Health Secretary. The cap would not apply to GPs, pharmacies or dentists. Mr Miliband repeated his pledge to introduce a ‘mansion tax’ on expensive homes, impose a levy on the tobacco companies and close tax loopholes exploited by hedge funds. The £2.5 billion raised would pay for 20,000 more nurses, 8,000 more doctors, 5,000 new care workers, and 3,000 more midwives, he said. Claiming another five years of Conservative government would mean ‘the disintegration of our public services’, Mr Miliband added: ‘We’ll scrap David Cameron’s market framework for the NHS and stop the tide of privatisation. ‘The NHS will be the preferred provider. No company working with the NHS will be able to profit by cherry picking: rejecting patients with the more complex and expensive needs for their own advantage.‘And, for the first time, we will cap the profits that private health companies can make from our National Health Service. ‘The standard rule will be a five per cent cap. Because the money we pay for our health care should be invested for patient care, not for excess profits for private firms.’ Miliband kicked off his campaign at the site of the 2012 London Olympics in east London . Critics accuse party of hypocrisy, since expenditure on NHS services provided free of charge by private providers has risen at a slower rate since 2010 than in the four years before, when Labour was in power. Overall, around just six pence in every pound is spent in the NHS with the private sector, compared to just

Summary: Miliband has been accused of scaremongering and risking patient care . Attack was made by former Labour health minister Lord Warner . Comes after party made the NHS a central issue of its election campaign . Miliband pledged to cap profits for firms providing care to the NHS .

Reid also asked her about whether she had made a decision not to have children. Ms Sturgeon said: 'People have started asking me, 'was it a conscious decision?'

Returning second rower Courtney Lawes runs the ball during an intense training session in Surrey . ‘We talked yesterday and he was one of the first contributors to talk about what it takes to win.

But he’s certainly got that winner’s attitude and that’s an important quality to have.’ Lancaster put his squad through a 15-a-side training session at their Pennyhill Park base and, with George Kruis, Alex Goode and Nick Easter omitted from the squad that lost to Ireland, the England coach was encouraged by the ferocity on show. ‘You can describe it as a backlash or whatever you want but we had 15 v 15 training today and I had to calm it down,’ Lancaster said. ‘You have 15 people who want to be in the starting 15 and it was me blowing the whistle in the end to make sure we didn’t play the game too early.’ Mike Brown will start at full back after missing the Ireland defeat due to a concussion .

Nike’s ‘Just do it’ slogan is undoubtedly a killer line – and now it’s been revealed that the inspiration for it came from an actual killer. The phrase, first used in a Nike advert in 1988, was pitched to the firm by advertising executive Dan Wieden, who admitted that it was borrowed from something a Utah murderer uttered as he faced a firing squad. The condemned man in question was Gary Gilmore, who was sentenced to death in 1977 for robbing and murdering two men in Utah the previous year. Scroll down for video . Nike’s ‘Just do it’ slogan is undoubtedly a killer line – and now it’s been revealed that the inspiration for it came from an actual killer . The tagline 'Just do it', which has become synonymous with the Nike brand, first appeared in 1988 at the end of an advert featuring 80-year-old runner Walt Stack (pictured) Gary Gilmore (pictured) uttered the words 'let's do it' before he was executing by firing squad for two Utah murders in 1977. The phrase inspired one of the most successful advertising slogans of all time . He chose to be executed by firing squad and it was reported that he said ‘let’s do it’ in the moments before he died. Mr Wieden, speaking at an advertising conference in Cape Town in February, said that he recalled this line in 1988 just before he had a crunch marketing campaign meeting with Nike bosses, and decided to suggest a slightly altered version as a slogan. This week Mr Wieden, co-founder of advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy, repeated the story to Dezeen magazine. He described how he was worried that an upcoming series of five TV adverts lacked cohesion, because they all had a different feel to them. He felt they needed a tagline to tie them all together. His company had been parachuted in by Nike to help them counter-attack rivals Reebok, who had just announced bigger profits. Dan Wieden (pictured) revealed that the slogan 'Just do it' was borrowed from the last words of Utah murderer Gary Gilmore . Mr Wieden said: ‘We… came up with five different 30 second spots. The night before [a meeting with Nike] I got concerned because… there wasn't an overlying sensibility to them all. Some were funny, some were solemn. So I thought… we need a tagline to pull this stuff together. ‘I wrote about four or five ideas. I narrowed it down to the last one, which was "Just do it". The reason I did that one was funny because I was recalling a man in Portland. ‘He murdered a man and a woman, and was put before a firing squad. And they asked him if he had any final thoughts and he said: "Let's do it." And for some reason I went: "Now damn. How do you ask for an ultimate challenge that you are probably going to lose, but you call it in?" So I thought, well, I didn't like "Let’s do it" so I just changed it to "Just do it".’ At first, he

Summary: The 'Just do it' slogan first appeared at the end of a TV advert in 1988 . It has been described as one of the best taglines of the 20th century . Ad executive Dan Wieden admitted it's based on last words of a murderer . He borrowed the phrase from condemned Utah killer Gary Gilmore . Gilmore reportedly said 'let's do it' as he face a firing squad in 1977 .


Goals from winger Harry Wilson and striker Jerome Sinclair secured a 2-0 win for Liverpool U21s over Chelsea on Monday night. Sinclair's pace and and determination won a penalty in the first half which Wilson duly converted. The forward then added his own name to the score sheet after the restart, cutting in from the left flank and firing home his 22nd goal of the season from a tight angle. Liverpool U21s winger Harry Wilson scores from the penalty spot against Chelsea to put his side 1-0 up . Chelsea had started the brighter of the two sides and should have perhaps taken an early lead through Issiah Brown, but he could not direct an awkwardly bouncing ball into the net. That early scare prompted a response from the Reds though and Cameron Brannagan sent Sergi Canos through on goal soon after, although the Spaniard dragged his shot wide. The deadlock was broken when Sinclair powered his way into the Chelsea box in the eighth minute and was fouled by Fikayo Tomori, with Wilson scoring the ensuring spot kick. The second goal followed a similar routine - Sinclair's surging pace duped Tomori again and the young striker, dancing along the byline before whipping in from a seemingly impossible angle, was able to add to his already impressive scoring tally for the season. Liverpool U21s striker Jerome Sinclair scores from a seemingly impossible angle against Chelsea . Sinclair (pictured here in 2014) has been in superb form this season, netting 22 goals for Liverpool U21s . Isiah Brown (pictured against Huddersfield in January 2015) missed a chance against Liverpool U21s .

Summary: Harry Wilson and Jerome Sinclair sealed a 2-0 win for Liverpool U21s . Wilson converted a first-half penalty after Sinclair was fouled in the box . Sinclair scored his 22nd goal of the season with a wonder strike .


A security guard shone a laser pen at the cockpits of passenger planes and a police helicopter while bored on coffee breaks at work. Mark Savage, 27, targeted aircrafts coming in to land at Southampton Airport but claims he was 'was just mucking around' and 'wasn't thinking'. Twice he aimed the beam at passenger planes, one of which was carrying 28 people - but despite risking lives with his reckless behaviour, Savage, of Hampshire, walked free from court today. Spared jail: Mark Savage said he 'was just mucking around' when he shone a laser pen into the cockpits of passenger planes and was spared a prison sentence after a judge heard how he had mental health problems . Sparing him jail, a judge warned how his actions could have caused a crash and stated he 'could not think of anything more dangerous' to do. Recorder Michael Vere-Hodge QC made the decision after Southampton Crown Court heard how Savage had mental health problems. He shone a beam at a cockpit of a Bombardier Q400 plane on a flight from Jersey that was preparing to land at Southampton Airport just before 9pm on September 9 last year, the court heard . Prosecutor Edward Phillips told the court co-pilot Edward Jarman was reaching a critical point in the landing stage when he saw a light reflecting off the plane's window. Dangerous: Savage aimed the laser beam at several aircrafts including a Flybe plane, which was carrying 28 passengers, forcing the captain to switch off his external lights to land . Mr Phillips said: 'Fortunately the light wasn't in his eyes. He recognised the potential danger but was able to land the plane safely.' A similar Flybe plane behind, captained by Matthew Donnellan, was carrying 28 passengers and three other crew members and was coming in from Paris, France. Mr Phillips said Captain Donnellan had previously suffered temporary blindness and disorientation after a beam had been shone into his eyes so was considerably concerned when he spotted the light from Savage's pen. He made the decision to switch off his external lights, a call he would not usually make, but he considered it less of a risk than being blinded by the laser and was able to land safely. He shone a beam (like the one pictured) at a cockpit of a Bombardier Q400 plane on a flight from Jersey that was preparing to land at Southampton Airport . An image from a previous unrelated incident, in which a laser pen was shone at a helicopter, demonstrates the blinding effect the device can have on pilots . Mr Phillips said the matter was reported to police, who launched the force helicopter and found the source of light was coming from a compound near the Itchen Bridge in Southampton. The pen was discovered under a rock and Savage was arrested and taken to the police station where he admitted being responsible. Savage said he was 'just mucking around' and 'wasn't thinking' and accepted shining it at four or five planes on coffee breaks. Savage, from Totton, Hants,

Summary: Mark Savage targeted aircrafts that were landing at Southampton Airport . One plane had 28 passengers and captain was forced to turn lights off . Security guard, 27, said he 'was just mucking around' and 'wasn't thinking' Judge said he 'couldn't think of anything more dangerous' than what he did . But he spared Savage jail after hearing how he suffered from autism .


England's campaign at the European Under 21 Championship looks set to be dominated over whether Harry Kane is included - but Gareth Southgate may not need him. In front of over 30,000 at the Riverside Stadium, England came from behind to defeat Germany 3-2 and record a victory against not just old rivals but the pre-tournament favourites in the Czech Republic this summer. Southgate is still expected to do everything he can to include the Tottenham striker, but the win over Germany shows that the Young Lions can go toe-to-toe with the cream of Europe. Here Sportsmail looks at England's three stand-out stars from the win in Middlesbrough. James Ward-Prowse . The Southampton star has already become an established member of the first team at St Mary's and is set to be a key member of Southgate's side in the Czech Republic. The 20-year-old scored the winner with a crisp low effort after ghosting into the penalty box to find space. But his attacking play extends to set-pieces. Germany's Julian Korb reaches out in vain as James Ward-Prowse fires home England's winning goal . The Under 21 captain celebrates his late strike following a fine midfield performance . In Ward-Prowse, England have potentially their best dead-ball specialist since David Beckham with his passing range and accurate shooting already a highlight of his game. Ward-Prowse was captain for the Germany victory and his rapid progress on the south coast in the last two years suggests he is worth keeping an eye on. Carl Jenkinson . Named the official Man of the Match, Jenkinson put in a close to perfect performance - albeit he was slightly at fault for Germany's opening goal after allowing the cross for Philipp Hofmann to fire home. But after a slow start to each half, the West Ham full-back, on loan from Arsenal, imposed himself down the right-hand side. Carl Jenkinson runs the ball out of defence for England as Germany substitute Nico Schulz looks on . Jenkinson put in a Man of the Match display having assisted two of England's three goals . It was the 23-year-old's cross for Jesse Lingard which helped draw the Three Lions level in the first half, while he also provided the pass for Ward-Prowse to tuck home the winning goal. With England's senior team lacking depth in the right-back area, Roy Hodgson could do worse than pick Jenkinson. Because if he doesn't, then Finland will as he can still play for the Scandinavian team. Nathan Redmond . Relished the battle with Germany full-back Christian Gunter, often managing to pull away from his marker to lead an attack down the right wing. Redmond is not all about pace though as he often tried to cut inside to mix up his approach, with his passing in the final third managing to catch the German back four flat on a number of occasions. Nathan Redmond rifles home England's second equaliser across goal into the bottom corner . Redmond celebrates after drawing England level late in the game following an impressive display on the right .

Summary: England recorded impressive 3-2 win over Germany in Under 21 friendly . Young Lions twice came from behind to seal late win at Riverside Stadium . James Ward-Prowse, Carl Jenkinson and Nathan Redmond among stars . Gareth Southgate's side look in strong shape heading to the European Under 21 Championship in Czech Republic this summer .


Toby Alderweireld has hinted he would be willing to join Tottenham after admitting he is keen to play with compatriot and former Ajax team-mate Jan Vertonghen again. The Belgium centre back is currently on loan at Southampton from Spanish champions Atletico Madrid and has caught the eye of a number of Premier League clubs including Tottenham. Southampton have the option to buy the Belgium international at the end of the season but could face competition from Spurs while Manchester City have also shown an interest. Southampton defender Toby Alderweireld has admitted he is keen to play with Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen . Alderweireld, pictured against Chelsea's Diego Costa, is on loan at Southampton from Atletico Madrid .

Tottenham, meanwhile, have also been linked with Cologne's Austria Under 21 international Kevin Wimmer. According to the Cologne Express, Tottenham have now had a bid accepted and have also reached an agreement over personal terms with the centre back. However, it is understood a deal has yet to be signed off as Tottenham continue to evaluate options. Kevin Wimmer of Cologne is a Tottenham Hotspur target as the London club consider a summer move .

Radamel Falcao's miserable time at Manchester United plumbed new depths when he turned out for the club's Under 21s in their 1-1 draw with Tottenham. At a virtually empty Old Trafford the £280,00-a-week misfit endured a lifeless 72 minutes before suffering the ignominy of hearing cheers when his number was held up. United handed Monaco a £6m loan fee for Falcao, 29, and have an option to buy him for £43.2m at the end of the season. Catch up on all the action with Sportsmail's Oliver Todd. Host commentator . It could have been a win for Manchester United on Tuesday night, had Falcao not found his way in front of two goalbound shots. The expensive loanee did more harm than good to United's attack. One big positive for the home side though was Rafael. His all-round performance and excellent goal will surely give Louis van Gaal food for thought with regards to the left back slot. Anyway, that's it from our live coverage. Check out Mike Keegan's match report HERE. Thanks for following! That's it, the referee has blown the final whistle and United and Spurs play out a 1-1 draw. Kenny McEvoy scored the opener for Tottenham before Rafael equalised with a brilliant chip in the second half. But despite an attack boasting Radamel Falcao and James Wilson, United couldn't find a winner and Spurs had the best chance of the second half when they hit the bar. Liam Grimshaw heads Pereira's first corner wide via a deflection - a second comes in but it only ends with captain Tom Thorpe fouling the goalkeeper. There will be three minutes of time added on. Andy Kellet's brilliant back-heel sets up Pereira for a cross. His pin-point ball comes to the feet of Harrop but he hesitates in a way that resembled the man he replaced, Falcao. When he finally got the shot off, the effort was blocked and the chance was gone. Still both teams going in search of a winner. Meanwhile, Spurs make a sub. Lesniak is off for Aaron McEneff. Axel Tuanzebe is on as United search for a winner. Off comes Shaquile Coulthirst to be replaced by Daniel Akindiyini. United arguably look better with Falcao off the pitch and James Wilson trusted with a more central role. Rafael's cross from the right just evades the young striker sliding on and shortly after Pereira puts another Rafael delivery over the bar. Falcao is being subbed off! He's been poor in truth and has done more harm than good to United's attacks. Louis van Gaal is unlikely to be impressed and you would think he has no chance of starting at the weekend on this showing. He is replaced by Josh Harrop. Oh, and he awkwardly didn't seem to realise it was him that was being hooked at first, just as he did with the first team against Preston North End. It's fair to say the Old Trafford crowd weren't too impressed with him either: . Valdes comes out to scoop up the ball under the feet Shaquile Coulthirst but

Summary: Radamel Falcao started for Manchester United Under 21s at Old Trafford . First-team players Rafael, James Wilson and Victor Valdes all feature too . Falcao was an unused substitute in Monday's first-team defeat by Arsenal . Joe Rothwell's error set up Spurs' Kenny McEvoy for the opener . Rafael equalised with a brilliant chip following up on a keeping error .


When Manny Pacquiao promised to come out swinging against Floyd Mayweather Jnr, this probably wasn't what he had in mind. The Filipino star looked relaxed as he took his mind off his upcoming $300million (£200m) mega-fight with a trip to the playground. Earlier on Wednesday, Pacquiao had completed the 15th day of his training camp with little more than six weeks until he faces Mayweather in Las Vegas on May 2. Manny Pacquiao headed for the playground after his morning workout in Los Angeles . Pacquiao appeared without a care in the world as he continued preparations for Floyd Mayweather . The day before, the 36-year-old sparred for the first time with partners Edis Tatli and Kenneth Sims Jnr, completing a total of five rounds. Tatil, a Finnish lightweight, has lost just once in 25 fights while Sims has fought just five times but his style has been likened to Mayweather's. 'After 13 days of strength and conditioning and boxing drills at Wild Card plus weeks more of working out in the Philippines in February, it was great to finally put on the headgear and spar,' Pacquiao said. Mayweather continued to work on the pads in his Las Vegas gym . Mayweather also worked the heavy bag and tweeted that his training was 'easy work' 'My sparring partners gave me good work today. They were perfect for testing the strategy Freddie and I have developed to beat Floyd Mayweather. I was very happy with my stamina and speed today.' Trainer Freddie Roach, meanwhile, said he was impressed with what he had seen. 'Manny looked so fresh today. I'm very happy with what he showed me,' he said. 'You couldn't tell he had been away from the ring since the Algieri fight in November. Manny is on fire in the gym.' Mayweather on the other hand, was sticking to more tried and tested training methods as he continued to work on the pads. The 38-year-old seemed to be enjoying himself, tweeting 'Easy work' after his session.

Summary: Manny Pacquiao took a trip to the playground after his training session . The Filipino star spent some time on the swing as he looked relaxed .

Whether you use it to share news and emotions, or to complain about brands, what you write on Twitter may say more about you than you think. Now, an interactive tool can analyse your most recent tweets and its creator claims it can reveal your personality, by looking at how you use words. Called Analyse Words, it generates a user’s emotional style and says whether they are upbeat, worried, angry or depressed, as well as revealing someone’s social and thinking styles. Try the interactive tool below . Use the interactive tool above to analyse your most recent tweets and reveal your personality . The tool is created by James Pennebaker, a psychologist at the University of Texas, who studies the link between language and personality. To get results, users simply have to enter their Twitter handle and press a button that says 'Analyse Tweets'. A results page is then generated that counts the number of recent words studied and lists the latest tweets. But most intriguingly it tells users how upbeat, worried, angry and depressed they are, in terms of percentages. Users who are most upbeat use lots of positive words and 'we' when they tweet, whereas the tweets of people who are predominantly worried contain anxious words and nervous questions. The tool is created by James Pennebaker, a psychologist at the University of Texas, who studies the link between language and personality. These are the results for Barack Obama, which show he is very upbeat and quite analytical .

Google unveiled plans earlier this year for a cancer-detecting wristband that it was testing using moulds of human skin. Now the firm has been awarded a patent for the technology that will 'automatically modify or destroy targets in the blood that have an adverse health effect'. According to the files, the wearable could target these cells using an 'external energy source' such as ultrasound or radio frequencies. Google's patent explained its wearable (illustrated) could target any substances or objects that, when present in the blood, may affect the health of a wearer by transmitting energy into the vessels. This could include infrared signals, a radio-frequency or acoustic pulse, or a magnetic field . 'A number of scientific methods have been developed to examine physiological conditions of a person by detecting and measuring one or more analytes [chemicals] in a person's blood,' explained the Nanoparticle Phoresis patent. 'Analytes could...be indicative of a medical condition or health of the person' and could include 'enzymes, hormones, proteins, cells or other substances.' Google continued that its wearable would target any substances or objects that, when present in the blood, may affect the health of wearer by transmitting energy into the vessels. In an interview with Bloomberg, Google Ventures' president Bill Maris recently said he thinks it's possible to live to 500 years old. And this will be helped by medical breakthroughs as well as a rise in biomechanics. He has already ploughed money into genetics firms and cancer diagnostic startups and said: 'We have the tools in the life sciences to achieve anything that you have the audacity to envision. I just hope to live long enough not to die.' Mr Maris founded Google Ventures in 2009 and oversees all of the fund’s global activities. Elsewhere he has develop Google’s Calico project. Calico is a research and development company set up in 2013 by Google and Apple to tackle 'ageing and associated diseases.' Google co-founder Larry Page said the project would focus on 'health, wellbeing and longevity' and last September Calico partnered with AbbVie to open a research centre into neurodegeneration and cancer. This could include infrared signals, a radio-frequency or acoustic pulse, or a magnetic field. The energy used would depend on what the band is targeting, but it would be designed to alter the chemical composition of the analyte. 'In one relevant example, certain proteins have been implicated as a partial cause of Parkinson's disease; the development of Parkinson's disease may be prevented or retarded by providing particles functionalized with a bioreceptor that will selectively bind to this target' continued the files. 'These bound particles may then be used, in combination with a wearable device as described above, to modify or destroy the target protein. 'As a further example, the target could be cancer cells; by selectively targeting and then modifying or destroying the cancer cells, the spread of cancer may be diminished.' In January, Andrew Conrad, head of Google Life Sciences unveiled plans for a wristband which would work with nanoparticles that circulate around the body looking for cells. After travelling around the

Typical Paul O'Connell. Ireland are chasing down a possible second Grand Slam in six years and, instead of the narrative being exclusively about how Joe Schmidt's side will fare in jumping hurdle number four at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday, the skipper's 100th cap for his country is providing a smokescreen for teammates glad of a diversionary topic. O'Connell wouldn't be of a mind to mention his milestone within camp himself. But still, as a topic for his comrades to pass the time with during short media sessions, it falls into perfect, anything-but-Wales, territory. Take Devin Toner, the Leinster giant who has become O'Connell's regular second-row sidekick over the past few seasons. Paul O'Connell is preparing for his 100th cap for his country at the Millenium Stadium on Saturday . Joe Schmidt are chasing down a possible second Grand Slam in six years at the Millenium Stadium . Ask about the general mechanics of the Irish lineout and the response is brief. 'I don't want to give anything away about lineout strategies,' he says. Enquire about the centurion, though, and there's, eventually, much greater pep to his patter. 'There's not much more to be said that hasn't already been said about Paulie. He's a world-class player and I don't think I'd be the player I am today without having played with him. 'I've learned so much from all the second rows I've played with, especially Leo Cullen and Paul. He's a massive leader in the squad, just a massive player on the pitch and players look up to him,' says Toner, who admits to closely watching O'Connell's ruck clear-outs as something he'd like to replicate. O'Connell gets angry during the Ireland training session at Kingspan Stadium in Belfast, Northern Ireland . 'Just to get to 100 caps is a huge testament to how he has looked after himself and to play at the top level for that long (since his debut against Wales in 2002) is unbelievable. 'It was more intimidating playing against him for the first time because I didn't really fancy it to be honest,' continues Toner, adding that this provincial level fear has eroded now that they are Test colleagues. 'He wouldn't be in my head now… but he's kind of like Joe (Schmidt) in that you need to know your detail or he gets on top of you. That's a hugely good thing. 'More players should be doing it. He has driven standards along with Joe… the two of them just drive the squad. You don't want to disappoint either of them.' Mike Ross is another not shy about chipping in his tuppence-worth about the Ireland captain who lifted the Six Nations trophy in Paris last year.

Welbeck played a leading role for England as they kept up their winning start to the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign with a 4-0 win against Lithuania at Wembley on Friday. The Arsenal forward scored one and had a huge hand in another as he justified his selection afterbeing given the nod over new-boy Harry Kane. However, the night may have come at a cost after Danny Welbeck picked up a knee injury. Likewise, Hodgson revealed Sterling is set to have a injection to clear up a niggling toe injury, which will rule him out of the trip to Turin. 'We've had two blows as I've always known that Raheem Sterling has been waiting for an injection in his toe, he's been playing with that injury for a while now. Raheem Sterling will have an injection in his injured toe and will not feature against Italy . Leighton Baines will also be unavailable next Tuesday and will return to Everton . Roy Hodgson revealed Ryan Bertrand will join up with the squad to replace Baines . 'He's done ever so well but I always knew the situation and agreed with he and Brendan Rodgers that he would play tonight's game, which is the qualifier but then he would have the injection. 'So if we lose both of them that is a blow. Not only as they both played very well tonight but because they're an important part of the system that we're trying to play. 'We've still got enough players and it will be a chance for somebody else.' Meanwhile, Hodgson revealed defender Leighton Baines will return to Everton and will be replaced Southampton left-back Ryan Bertrand ahead of the trip to Turin. James Milner will also leave the squad owing to a knee injury.

Teaching assistant Emma Webb, 44, from Bracknell, Berkshire, had sex with two teenagers at her home and in her car in a 'disgraceful' abuse of power . A married teaching assistant who got two schoolboys to skip lessons to have sex with her has avoided prison because she had already served time for having affairs with five other pupils. Mother-of-two Emma Webb had sex with the boys at home while her husband was out, and performed a sex act on one of them in an empty maths classroom. The 44-year-old also lured the ‘inexperienced’ boys, then aged 15 and 16, into her car for sex in a ‘disgraceful’ abuse of her position, a court heard. The blonde began a fling with the 16-year-old after being assigned as his support worker following the death of his brother. In a text message, she told him: ‘If I was younger I’d be the girl for you.’ She then offered him a lift home and touched him while they were struck in traffic, before driving to a deserted car park and performing a sex act on him. Prosecutor Michael Roques told a judge at Reading Crown Court how Webb also began a fling with the 15-year-old after sending him ‘flirty’ texts. After luring him into the maths room and performing a sex act on him, she invited the schoolboy to her home for sex while her husband was at work. The court heard how, on another occasion, she drove the youngster to a secluded area of woodland, where they had sex in the back of her car. The judge, Recorder John Gallagher, heard how the boy had been reluctant to report the affair because he feared reprisals from Webb’s husband, who was a karate black belt. Webb wept as she was told she would not go to jail for the flings, which came to light following her suspension from the school. In 2012, she was jailed for 32 months after admitting to affairs with five other pupils at the same Berkshire school, which cannot be named for legal reasons. Her barrister Lucy Tapper told the court that Webb was now in a relationship with another man. Miss Tapper added: ‘She’s somebody who is determined to put these incidents behind her and is determined to move on with her life.’ Judge Gallagher told Webb that she was only avoiding prison because she had already been punished for offences that had taken place at the same time. He said: ‘You disgracefully abused your position of trust. ‘I accept that you had your own problems but the truth is that ultimately it was for your own gratification and you ignored the needs of these two boys.’ But Webb was spared jail at Reading Crown Court (pictured) because she has already served time in jail for after admitting 30 offences involving five other pupils, which took place at the school at the same time . He told Webb the 15-year-old’s grades had deteriorated because she encouraged him to skip lessons for sex, adding: ‘It undoubtedly affected his schooling and the

NHS officials in the West Midlands are proposing to pay family doctors £150 an hour – as well as £200 towards staffing costs - to work on Easter Saturday . GPs are in revolt over NHS plans to offer them a ‘paltry’ £650 for opening their surgeries on the morning of Easter Saturday. Officials in the West Midlands are proposing to pay family doctors £150 an hour – as well as £200 towards staffing costs – to work for three hours that morning. But a number of GPs have condemned the size of the payments and say they’ll only turn up if the money is 'quadrupled'. The offer is being made by NHS managers in the West Midlands to avert an expected surge in A&E attendances over the Easter weekend, in early April. Most GP surgeries will be closed for four days in a row from Good Friday, 3rd April, through to Easter Monday, which is also a bank holiday. Many patients who fall ill in this time will go to A&E as they are still unaware of how to contact their out-of-hours service or of the NHS 111 helpline. A&E units are still under intense pressure even though winter is almost over and the numbers of seriously ill patients has declined. Figures for last week showed that the NHS as a whole failed to meet the target of ensuring that 95 per cent of patients were seen within four hours. This has not been met since September but health officials are hoping that the situation will finally improve in April, when the weather turns milder and winter illnesses begin to abate. But they are concerned that a sudden surge in demand when GPs are closed over Easter will cause extra pressures and set hospitals back again. NHS officials are offering surgeries in the region covering Birmingham, Solihull, Hereford and Worcester £650 to open for three hours. This includes £150 per hour paid to one GP for three hours and the remaining £200 to pay for receptionists or practice nurses. Guidance obtained by Pulse magazine urges practices to sign-up to the arrangement by tomorrow afternoon. It states: ‘We are keen for practices to offer sessions if possible and have agreed a costing. ‘Please confirm if you wish to participate at earliest convenience to allows us to assess impact and by close of play on Wednesday 11th March at the latest.' The offer is being made by NHS managers in the West Midlands to avert an expected surge in A&E attendances over the Easter weekend, but many GPs have said the offer should be 'quadrupled' (file picture) There are 600 practices in two regions being offered the payments which include the Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country as well as Arden, Herefordshire and Worcestershire. But a number of GPs took to the Pulse website to express their disgust at the size of the payments. One wrote: ‘GPs in England work for such paltry sums it’s embarrassing.’ Another said: ‘Now they’ve established the principle of paying, tell em to quadruple it.’ One, a GP

Summary: NHS officials in West Midlands are proposing to pay doctors £150 per hour . Also plan to put £200 towards staff costs to encourage GPs to work Easter .

A treasure trove of rare silver coins and jewellery that date from the reign of Alexander the Great have been discovered by cave explorers in northern Israel. The 2,300 year old treasures were found hidden in a narrow niche among pieces of broken pottery within the stalactite filled cave. They were spotted by three members of the Israeli Caving Club who had squeezed through the narrow passages at the entrance of the cave to explore inside. Scroll down for video . Silver coins dating from the time of Alexander the Great were found along side bracelets, rings and stone weights (all shown in the picture above) in a cave in northern Israel by members of the Israeli Caving Club . One of the spelunkers, Hen Zakai, spotted something shining on the cave floor. It turned out to be two ancient silver coins. Alongside the coins, the cave divers found a cloth pouch containing a handful of coins, rings, bracelets and earrings all made from silver and bronze. There may be dozens of treasure troves waiting to be uncovered around the world, according to a recent map. From the missing Irish Crown Jewels taken in 1907 to lost Fabergé Eggs and looted 16th century Peruvian gold, designers have plotted their rumoured locations on an interactive map. In addition to the real riches, the map also features the location of mythical and fictional treasure in books and films. There are seven Fabergé Eggs thought to be missing including the Royal Danish egg, made in 1903, and the Alexander III Commemorative egg produced in 1909. Their estimated value is $210 million (£137 million). Another missing treasure is the Amber Room panels, which were originally installed in Charlottenburg Palace. It is rumoured to have been stolen by the Nazis and remains hidden in Konigsberg, Germany. Elsewhere, in 1901 the SS Islander sank after hitting an iceberg off the coast of Alaska. It is thought to have contained $250 million (£163 million) worth of gold. Among the mythical treasure on the map is a stash of $300 million (£196 million) buried by Benito ‘Bloody Sword’ Bonito on the Cocos Island in Australia. Archaeologists who visited the cave at the weekend say the coins were minted at the beginning of the Hellenistic Period during the reign of Alexander the Great. They believe they may have been hidden in the cave by local residents who fled there during the unrest that broke out following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC. It comes just a month after a chest filled with gold coins was discovered by divers off the coast of Caesarea, near Tel Aviv, Israel. Speaking about the latest discovery, a spokesman for the Israel Antiquities Authority said: 'The valuables might have been hidden in the cave by local residents who fled there during the period of governmental unrest stemming from the death of Alexander, a time when the Wars of the Diadochi broke out in Israel between Alexander’s heirs following his death. 'Presumably the cache was hidden in the hope of better days, but today

Manchester City winger Jesus Navas felt the champions paid the price for failing to take their chances at Burnley. City slumped to a surprise 1-0 defeat at Turf Moor on Saturday to leave their hopes of retaining their Barclays Premier League title in serious jeopardy. George Boyd scored the only goal of the game with a crisp left-footed strike just after the hour, punishing City for their lack of incision. Jesus Navas (left) looks dejected after Manchester City slumped to defeat against Burnley on Saturday . Manchester City winger Navas (left) admits his side were made to rue missed chances during the game . City mustered only five shots on target in a lacklustre display but they did still create 21 opportunities and have a strong penalty appeal declined. Navas felt their luck was simply out. The Spaniard said: 'We came here to get the three points. I think we were a bit unlucky to concede the goal and that we couldn't win. 'We tried to be really persistent in attack but they had a lot of people defending. We tried really hard but we couldn't score. They created a lot of danger but I believe we still had opportunities to get the game won.' George Boyd scored Burnley's winner with a sweetly struck shot into the bottom corner . Boyd celebrates his 61st minute strike for the Clarets at Turf Moor on Saturday night . The result increased the pressure on manager Manuel Pellegrini, whose position has come under scrutiny during a faltering spell. Since pulling level with Chelsea on New Year's Day, City have managed to win just three of nine league games. Their hopes of rescuing their season - and taking the heat off Pellegrini - could now come down to the small matter of overturning a 2-1 deficit at Barcelona at the Nou Camp in the Champions League on Wednesday. 'It is time to think about the next game,' Navas said. 'We have to prepare very well and try to get to the next round.'

Summary: Manchester City paid the price against Burnley, admits Jesus Navas . Manuel Pellegrini's side fellow to 1-0 defeat at Turf Moor on Saturday . George Boyd scored as City's title chances suffered a serious blow .


Council boss Jo Stephenson, 59, who died after jumping from his roof had been 'stressed over plans to introduce new parking charges' A council boss who died after jumping from his roof had been 'stressed over plans to introduce new parking charges', an inquest heard. Father-of-two Cllr Jo Stephenson, 59, who was Lib Dem deputy leader of Cumbria County Council, died in hospital three weeks later from internal injuries. His wife Hilary told the inquest he had been under considerable pressure in the weeks before his death to push through the later-abandoned policy of fresh on-street parking across Cumbria. It was initially thought Mr Stephenson had accidentally fallen from his roof while carrying out some DIY on his Lake Windermere home in July last year. But Kendal Coroner's Court was told after hitting the ground Mr Stephenson dialled 999 - and admitted to the call handler he had thrown himself off on purpose. He then discussed ending his life with the paramedic at his home, as well as with staff at the Royal Preston Hospital, the inquest heard. The former Lakes School teacher was said to have been 'deeply distressed' by 'personal attacks' made towards him over the internet. These came as a result of the move to impose a parking tariff in 11 towns including Carlisle, Penrith, Cockermouth and Keswick. The plans were not introduced following a consultation that identified concerns about the inadequacy of the enforcement regime. This resulted in him appearing 'distracted' in the fortnight before the incident. While in hospital the councillor suffered what was described as a 'psychotic episode' - attacking a pregnant nurse with a butter knife. Mental health consultant Dr Richard Morgan confirmed Mr Stephenson 'lashed out' at the pregnant nurse. He said the councillor also injured his own eye with the arm of his glasses and said he wished the attempt upon his life had been successful. Mr Stephenson's wife argued he was terrified, sleep-deprived and affected by medication at the time. She added she did not believe Mr Stephenson deliberately tried to end his life. He died on 25 July from a pulmonary embolism and bronchial pneumonia, with a stroke as a secondary factor. Giving a narrative verdict, assistant coroner Alan Sharpe stopped short of ruling Mr Stephenson had intended to take his own life but said the fall was 'no accident'. He discussed ending his life with the paramedic at his home, as well as with staff at the Royal Preston Hospital (pictured), the inquest heard . The South Cumbria deputy coroner stressed that while Mr Stephenson had told medics he had intended to take his own life, it was not certain he was thinking clearly at the time of his fall. He added: 'It's quite clear Jo Stephenson was very well-loved and liked and had lived a very successful life. 'It's quite clear from the transcript of the 999 call and from the evidence given by the paramedic that it was not an accident when he fell from the roof. 'Whatever his state of mind - he did jump.' His widow

He was stressed over plans for new parking charges, inquest heard . Politician was also 'deeply distressed' by personal attacks made online . He died of pulmonary embolism and pneumonia three weeks after incident .

As if he didn’t already know, Joe Schmidt found out the hard way last Saturday that 80 minutes can be a long time in rugby. Ireland were riding the crest of a wave arriving into Cardiff. Ten successive wins and the Grand Slam there for the taking. Eighty minutes later, their unbeaten run was over and now they face the very real prospect of being left with nothing to show for their efforts in 2015. A year ago they had momentum going into the closing round of the championship. They led the table with a huge points difference and, after England fell short of eclipsing that target in Rome, there were no outside complications weighing on Ireland’s mind in that evening’s tournament closer: beat France and the title was theirs. Jared Payne (left), Iain Henderson (centre) and Jordi Murphy warm-up during Ireland training on Thursday . Ireland flanker Sean O'Brien fires out a backhand pass during Ireland's session at their base in Carton House . Jonathan Sexton (centre) and his fellow Irish players are gearing up for their crunch clash against Scotland . Twelve months later they are in an awkward bind — second on points difference with no exact clarity on what type of win is needed to retain their title given that England will be last into action tomorrow. Adding to Ireland’s anxiety is their inability to get over the try line. Whereas 16 were scored in the title run in 2014 run, there have been just four in 320 minutes this term. Schmidt, though, claims not to be worried about the drought, adding that a level of tolerance must be shown towards the development of his new midfield combination now that Brian O’Driscoll has retired and Gordon D’Arcy has been omitted for the Six Nations. ‘The game is very fickle,’ he claimed after announcing a team to play Scotland showing two changes from Wales with Luke Fitzgerald and Cian Healy getting in ahead of Simon Zebo and Jack McGrath. ‘One week you might score three tries and the next week you might not get any and you might have played better in the second week but you just didn’t convert the opportunities. Ireland coach Joe Schmit will put his friendship with Scotland boss Vern Cotter to one side on Saturday . ‘One of the frustrations from last week is that we did create three really clear try-scoring opportunities that we didn’t convert. Last year, we converted a lot of our try-scoring opportunities. They are the very fine margins. ‘Trying to make sure we get on the right side of those margins all the time is difficult and it is something we’re working really hard on,’ claimed the attack coach whose specialist role in preparing the team is now under scrutiny as Ireland’s meagre try tally is the joint worst in the tournament, level with France and seven tries fewer than top scorers England. The lack of finishing power has cast a spotlight on the rookie centre pairing of Jared Payne and Robbie Henshaw. ‘Jared doesn’t have a lot of

Summary: Joe Schmidt and Vern Cotter worked together at Clermont in the Top 14 . The pair were also coaching partners at Bay of Plenty in New Zealand . Ireland surrendered their Grand Slam hopes against Wales last Saturday . But Schmidt's side can still claim the title on points difference . A big win over Scotland is the target for Ireland on Saturday .


A second suspect is facing the death penalty after being arrested in connection to the February 12 shooting that left mother-of-four Tammy Meyers dead . Police arrested Derrick Andrews, 26, on Friday in Las Vegas, Nevada, and charged him with murder, attempted murder, firing a weapon from a vehicle and conspiracy. Erich Milton Nowsch Jr, 19, is now facing the same charges following his arrest last month. Scroll down for video . Derrick Andrews (left) and Erich Milton Nowsch Jr (right) have been charged with murder, attempted murder, firing a weapon from a vehicle and conspiracy after their alleged involvement in a shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada . Mother-of-four Tammy Meyers was shot during what police thought was a road-rage incident on February 12 . Prosecutors allege Nowsch fired the shots from a vehicle while Andrews was at the wheel. Andrews' arrest came about an hour after he was named with Nowsch in an indictment. The trial is scheduled for May 26 and the defendants could get the death penalty or life in prison if convicted. District Attorney Steve Wolfson said: 'If you're a getaway driver, aiding and abetting another to commit a crime, you're equally guilty,' Nowsch pleaded not guilty on March 12 to the murder, attempted murder and weapon charges during an appearance at Clark County District Court. He is expected to plead not guilty to the conspiracy charge. The conspiracy charge stems from allegations that Andrews and Nowsch tried to erase their cellphone records to prevent police from linking them to the shooting. The 44-year-old (left) was hit in the head by a bullet and she died at a hospital two days later on Valentine's Day . Andrews is accused of positioning his car so Nowsch could unload what Prosecutor David Stanton said police now believe to have been 24 shots at Meyers and her son Brandon. One bullet struck Meyers in the head and she died at a hospital two days later on Valentine's Day. Stanton characterized Nowsch as a neighborhood marijuana and anxiety medication dealer who hung out at a park where he encountered schoolchildren and sometimes Meyers. Las Vegas defense lawyer Martin Hart said he had spoken with Andrews in recent days but hadn't been hired to defend him. Hart said he might be appointed to the case when Andrews and Nowsch appear for arraignment next Thursday. He declined to comment on the case or the indictment. Nowsch's attorney, Augustus Claus, declined to comment about the indictment or the arrest of Andrews. Prosecutors allege Nowsch fired 24 shots from a vehicle at Meyers and her son while Andrews was at the wheel . Police initially suspected Meyers was shot in a road rage incident. But days later, investigators revealed she had enlisted her adult son and his gun for a late-night prowl to confront a driver who threatened her on the way home from a mother-daughter driving lesson in a school parking lot. In obtaining a no-bail warrant for Andrews' arrest, Stanton told Clark County District Court Judge Linda Marie Bell that Andrews responded in his

Summary: Derrick Andrews arrested Friday in connection to February 12 shooting . Erich Nowsch, 19, was already arrested in murder of 44-year-old Meyers . Prosecutors say Andrews, 26, was driving while Nowsch was firing a gun . Both are facing the death penalty or life in prison after being charged with murder, attempted murder, firing a weapon from a vehicle and conspiracy .


Two underground craters measuring 400km together in size have been discovered in central Australia, sparking the possibility of a previously unknown asteroid impact event 300 million years ago that caused many species to go extinct. The impact zone was found in the Warburton Basin in two parts, each 200km wide, indicating the meteor that created them split into two before smashing into the earth. Even though it was found two kilometres underground, the impact zone is now the largest in the world, by over 100km. Dr Andrew Glikson from ANU indicates that the size of the asteroid means it could have impacted a mass extinction . The precise age of the crater is not yet known exactly, but researchers think it may be around 300 million years. ‘We cannot define this impact zone in anywhere near the degree of detail we can define the ones exposed on the surface,' Lead Researcher Dr Andrew Glikson of the Australian National University told Daily Mail Australia. Researchers strongly believe the meteor could have caused the end of many life species on the planet at the time, including the dinosaurs. 'From the size - yes, it could have impacted a mass extinction,' Dr Glikson said. 'Even though we do not know the exact age of the meteor yet, we do know life was very primitive at that time.' The impact zone extends through the Earth's crust which is around 30km thick in Central Australia. The two adjoining craters were thought to have been caused when a meteor split on its approach to Earth, forming two smaller ones each about 10km across. This impact zone, if confirmed, would be the largest in the world. The second largest is the Vredefort crater in South Australia, spanning 300km. This zone survives on the surface of Earth and therefore is easier to find than those underground. The impact zone was flagged after rock affected by heat and pressure was turned into glass . The impact zone was flagged after rock affected by heat and pressure, consequently being turned into glass was discovered, also known as shock metamorphism. The features of this metamorphism show that material was dramatically thrown out of the area in a span of more than 200km, indicating the possibility of a mass extinction. After using geothermal research to look at the internal heat of the earth and seismic data to see the vibrations of the earth's surface, the team of geophysicists released high velocity shocks two kilometres underground by drilling. The impact zone was found in the Warburton basin in Central Australia and spans 400 kilometres . Scientists have been using information from a major 2010 discovery that showed a large meteorite strike 66 million years ago wiped out the dinosaurs. A plume of ash was sent up into the air from the impact and sediment from this collision is found in rocks around the world today. However, none of this sediment has been discovered in 300 million-year-old samples indicating that this site could be older. Further studies of the geochemistry and composition of the impact site

Summary: Two meteros each 10km across left a 400km impact zone in Australia . A team of researchers found the crater two kilometres underground . Researchers say the impact could have caused mass animal extinctions . The zone was found with high velocity shocks and drilling into the earth . The impact may have happened around 300 million years ago .


Arsene Wenger was delighted as Danny Welbeck struck a second-half winner to put Arsenal in the semi-finals of the FA Cup with a 2-1 victory over his former club Manchester United, who were reduced to 10 men at Old Trafford. The Gunners took the lead midway through the first half as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain weaved his way through the United defence before teeing up Nacho Monreal to coolly slot his close-range shot past a diving David de Gea and into the bottom corner. It did not take long for the hosts to level matters and Wayne Rooney did the damage as he directed Angel di Maria's beautiful cross into the back of the net via a well-timed header.

But Welbeck handed Arsenal the lead for the second time as he beat De Gea to the ball just outside the 18-yard box and tapped into an empty net just after the hour mark. Wenger admitted he was proud of how his side executed their game plan, and told BBC 1: '(We wanted) to start without apprehension but we were caught a few times here. '(We tried) to be on the front foot from the start and close them down, play with a high pace and I felt that we did that well.' Di Maria received two bookings in quick succession as he was first shown a yellow card for diving and then was sent off after grabbing at referee Michael Oliver's shoulder in protest with just under 15 minutes left. Arsenal were drawn against Bradford or Reading in the last four and Wenger added: 'Last year we played a tricky game at Wembley in the semi-final and you expect that again. Per Mertesacker (centre) and Aaron Ramsey jump for joy after reaching the FA Cup semi-finals . Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny applauds Arsenal's 9,000 travelling supporters at Old Trafford . 'We have played Bradford before, we know about that but let's enjoy tonight. 'I feel we played a good game tonight from the start and we deserved to win the game.' Wenger was full of praise for Welbeck, who left his boyhood club for north London last summer, and provided the killer touch tonight after a blunder from Antonio Valencia. The manager said: 'I believe he is just happy to score. He worked very hard today and he was rewarded by a good goal.' The Gunners went to Old Trafford on the back of a fine run in the Barclays Premier League, with seven wins in the last eight games putting them third, now a point ahead of United and only four behind Manchester City.
