Daniel Vettori says it's 'pretty obvious' he'll play his last one-day international for New Zealand in Sunday's Cricket World Cup final. Vettori flew from Melbourne with his team-mates on Wednesday to prepare for the final against the winner of Thursday's match between Australia and India in Sydney. He will play his 295th one-dayer for New Zealand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday, 18 years and four days since he played his first.

Vettori and Grant Elliott steered New Zealand to a thrilling final over, four-wicket victory over South Africa . Fleming, one of New Zealand's most successful captains, knows the setbacks his country have endured in the global tournament and admitted his incredulity at their feat in his column on the International Cricket Council's website. He said: 'There is a dream-like euphoria mixed with a pinch-me feeling of disbelief throughout the country, given the Black Caps' success in winning their way through to Melbourne and Sunday's final has finally smashed that World Cup glass ceiling by banishing all the years of semi-final heartaches. 'As a captain who suffered two of those heartaches, in 1999 and 2007, to see a New Zealand side playing with the freedom and quality that Brendon McCullum and his players are producing certainly warms the heart.' New Zealand captain Brendan McCullum arrives at Melbourne Airport on Wednesday . Ross Taylor was all smiles at Melbourne Airport as New Zealand arrived for the World Cup final . Tim Southee signs an autograph for a spectator at Melbourne Airport after a flight from New Zealand . Fleming, who played 111 Tests and 280 one-day internationals, knows their supporters will be outnumbered, whoever triumphs in the second semi-final, but hopes they can reproduce the form that has got them this far. 'It will be a tough one to negotiate,' he added. 'Either way, New Zealand will know they will face a crowd in which their own supporters will be in the minority by quite some margin. 'I am not sure it

Rafael Nadal lost his quarter-final clash with Milos Raonic in Indian Wells but believes his performance showed he is getting back to his best. The defeat meant Nadal missed the chance of joining Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray in the semi-finals for the first time since the 2012 Australian Open. But, after Raonic saved three match points to spring the shock, the Spaniard admitted: ‘I’m leaving Indian Wells with the feeling that I had a big chance to do more and with the feeling that I was ready to compete again well. Rafael Nadal believes he's closing in on being back to his best after a promising Indian Wells display . ‘I think a match like this obviously is much better if you win but, even losing, I’m 90 per cent sure that will help me.’ The three-time Indian Wells winner added: ‘It’s true that I didn’t compete at that level of intensity mentally in tennis for a long time. ‘I was able to be very focused, playing with positive energy for three hours, so that’s great news for me, because that’s the way I competed during all of my career.’ Milos Raonic upset the Spaniard and saved three match points in the process of winning the clash . Canadian Raonic looked like he might be heading out after losing the first set inside 36 minutes, but he rallied to save three match points in an epic second-set tie-break, forcing a deciding set. The sixth seed, who fired 19 aces and also saved six break points, finally ended Nadal’s perfect record against Canadians by earning a break in the third and clinching a 4-6, 7-6, 7-5 victory. After his first win over Nadal, Raonic said: ‘At the moments when I was playing those match points, it didn’t really feel like match points. Nadal has had an injury hit 18 months but now looks to come back stronger and hopes to win more titles . ‘It was just like another point that I was trying to get through, sort of going through the paces at that moment of what I need to do, not really signifying it as a match point. ‘It’s really great what I was able to do today and I’m very happy with it but I don’t let myself get caught up because this isn’t where it ends. There is a lot more to achieve.’ It does not get any easier for Raonic, with Federer his semi-final opponent. The Swiss master reached the last four with a routine 6-4, 6-0 victory over Tomas Berdych. The impressive Canadian progresses to the semi-finals as his reputation continues to grow . He had 21 winners, equalling the number of unforced errors by Berdych, won 13 of 14 points at the net, never faced a break point on his serve and broke Berdych four times in the match, including three times in the second set. A clearly delighted Federer said: ‘It’s not just another win but another win against a top 10 player — against Berdych, who has played me tough in

Summary: Rafael Nadal was knocked out at Indian Wells by Canadian Milos Raonic . The Spaniard believes he's close to be back to his very best after injury . Nadal had three match points but Raonic fought back to claim the win .


Parents of sixth graders at a Pennsylvania school were forced to sign permissions slips so that their children could each eat a single Oreo cookie. Mrs Darlene Porter, a science teacher at Welsh Valley Middle School in Lower Merion, sent the note out while planning a lesson for Friday about the Earth's tectonic plates, which she wanted to represent with Double Stuf Oreos. The Twitter account Mainline Housewife posted a picture of a form describing it as 'insanity'. Parents of sixth graders at a school in eastern Pennsylvania received a letter from teacher Darlene Porter asking for a signature allowing their children to eat an Oreo cookie . 'The students may eat the Oreo after the investigation if this is okay with you,' the note, sent home on Monday, reads. 'The students do NOT have to eat the Oreo if they do not wish to do so.' Mrs Porter's form then explains that without expressed parental permission given by Wednesday, the students would not be allowed to have the the cookie. 'It's one teacher who was really trying to do her due diligence, quite honestly," Lower Merion School District spokesman Doug Young told the Philadelphia Inquirer. Despite its intentions, the permissions slips were lambasted by Internet users. 'Oh dear Lord. Some poor tree had to give its life for this idiocy,' one commenters said on the parenting blog Free-Range Kids. A spokesman for the Lower Merion School District said that the teacher was 'trying to do her due diligence' but there was no requirement that permission slips be sent home . A student in Ms Porter's class has a food allergy, though there was no requirement for the forms to be sent home to every parent . 'Did the school ask permission to send this permission slip?' another asked. Mainline Housewife said that she did not blame the teacher's zeal. 'I fault our crazy culture,' she said. A student in Ms Porter's class has an allergy that requires notifications about food in the classroom, though there is no requirement that permission slips to all parents need to be sent. Pennsylvania School Boards Association spokesman Steve Robinson said that schools should already have plans where they already know which foods students can eat. Allergies are not mentioned in Ms Porter's letter. Mr Young did not say how many students chose to eat Oreos on Friday, though the parents of a student who cannot eat gluten sent gluten-free Oreos to school. Two Double Stuf Oreos have 140 calories, 13 grams of sugar and seven grams of fat, according to Snackworks.com .

Summary: Parents of 6th graders in Lower Merion, Pennsylvania, asked to sign form . Oreos used in demonstration, but students needed permission to eat them . Student in class has an allergy, but there was no requirement for the forms . Administrators say that the much-criticized effort was 'due diligence'


Claims that Tiger Woods is serving a one-month suspension - rebutted by the player's agent and the PGA Tour - have been withdrawn. Woods is taking an indefinite break from golf as he attempts to get his game 'tournament ready' after a poor run of form and injuries. Former Tour player Dan Olsen, who played in 35 Tour events between 1989 and 2011 - missing 22 cuts - alleged in an interview on US radio station 730AM The Game on Friday that Woods was serving a drugs ban, but on Monday retracted his claims and issued an apology to the 14-time major winner. Dan Olsen had alleged in a radio interview that Tiger Woods (pictured) was serving a one month suspension . Olsen has since apologised to Woods and to the PGA Tour for the comments he made . 'I retract the entire interview,' Olsen said in a statement on the radio station's website. 'My comments were ill-advised. I want to apologise to Nike, the PGA Tour, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and (Tour commissioner) Tim Finchem.' The allegations had brought a strong denial from the PGA, with PGA Tour executive vice-president and chief marketing officer Ty Votaw issuing a statement. 'There is no truth whatsoever to these claims,' it read. 'We categorically deny these allegations.' Woods' agent Mark Steinberg also quashed the allegations, labelling them 'unequivocally and completely false'. 14-time major championship winner Woods, pictured here in June 2013 at Merion Golf Club, hopes to reclaim his world No 1 status from Rory McIlory when he returns to the sport . 'These claims are absolutely, unequivocally and completely false,' he said. 'They are unsourced, unverified and completely ridiculous. 'The PGA Tour has confirmed that there is no truth to these claims.' Woods has not played since he withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open at the start of February, less than a week after firing a career-worst round of 82 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. No date has been set for the 39-year-old's return, with the Masters at Augusta starting on April 9. Woods is currently dating USA skiing superstar Lindsey Vonn, with the pair pictured together here in 2013 . Woods is currently on a hiatus from golf in order to recover from injuries and a dip in his form .

Summary: Dan Olsen alleged Tiger Woods was serving a one-month drugs suspension . The claims were rebutted by former world No 1 Woods' agent and PGA Tour . Former Tour player Olsen retracted the allegations and issued an apology . Woods currently taking 'an indefinite break' from golf in bid to recapture form .


A black female police officer who previously acted as a bodyguard for the Duchess of Cambridge is suing a police force because she claims she was sacked after accusing another officer of racism. Ricky Haruna claims she was sacked for gross misconduct after she claimed a police sergeant at the Metropolitan Police had racially harassed her. Ms Haruna claims that after she made the allegation Sergeant Laurence Boyle convinced an elderly woman with dementia to make false claims of fraud against her. This led to Miss Haruna being hauled before a misconduct panel and dismissed, only to be reinstated after a successful internal appeal. Ricky Haruna joined the Met Police in 2002 and one of her jobs was escorting Kate Middleton before she married . The 39-year-old is now suing the Met Police for race discrimination and wrongful dismissal for the way it handled her case, with her previous claims of racism not forming part of her own misconduct hearing, the Central London Employment Tribunal was told. She claims that although the Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS) was aware of the race allegations she had made, these were not put before the police misconduct board. Ms Haruna joined the Met Police in 2002 and one of her duties was escorting Kate Middleton before she married Prince William and became the Duchess of Cambridge. During her career she saved two people's lives and received two commendations. Ms Haruna claims she experienced racism from her police colleagues in 2010, and also reported that Sergeant Boyle racially harassed her. Following her allegation an elderly woman came forward and accused Miss Haruna of fraud. This led to what Ms Haruna refers to as her 'malicious arrest' in April 2013. Ms Haruna appeared before a misconduct panel and - despite the Crown Prosecution Service saying the fraud allegation was untenable and they would not be bringing charges in September 2013 - she was disciplined and sacked last June. But in February she was reinstated with full pay after a successful internal appeal against her dismissal. Lawrence Davies, representing Ms Haruna, said in his skeleton argument: 'Prior to her dismissal, the claimant had complained of racism on several occasions. She also claimed that she was being harassed and victimised...The DPS were aware of that allegation. 'However, the DPS failed to put this relevant evidence before the Police Misconduct Board.' He added that Ms Haruna did not raise these claims herself because of 'bad advice' from the Police Federation, the DPS had a 'clear duty' to do so. He said that in light of panel not having any knowledge of the evidence of discrimination, it made the 'wrongful decision' to dismiss her. Mr Davies said: 'We do say PS Boyle is racist and that this sorry saga began when he pressurised a very elderly lady with dementia to make a formal complaint of fraud against the claimant.' He added that PS Boyle's questioning of the woman, who also imagined that Ms Haruna had had an abortion and that Lord Russell had bought her a house, caused her to become

Summary: Ricky Haruna was sacked from the Met Police last year for misconduct . A panel heard that an allegation of fraud was one of the claims against her . Ms Haruna said 'fraud' was false and only made after she alleged racism . But she was disciplined and sacked, despite CPS finding fraud untenable . She successfully appealed her case and was reinstated by Met in February . But Ms Haruna is suing force for wrongful dismissal and discrimination . She said her misconduct panel did not consider her previous racism claims . Officer joined Met in 2002 and one duty was guarding Kate Middleton .


Oh Gawd, not more kitchen scenes! After the Milibands’ two-kitchens saga, last night the BBC took us to David Cameron’s constituency kitchen in Oxfordshire in the latest example of ‘Hello’ television political coverage.

The slinky Samantha, looking as though she was just out of some foam-scented bath, wandered towards the cooking area in a loose-fitting lumberjack shirt and announced that her husband was ‘definitely the best man for the job’. She added that ‘me and the family’ (did they not teach grammar at her public school?) kept him grounded. Kept him in the kitchen chopping carrots, more like. But what a healthy lot the Cams are. Did you see those lettuce leaves in the colander? No wonder he has lost weight, poor man. Can a man really run a country on rabbit food?

His son Elwen, aged nine, was playing. ‘Come on, Chads! Great save!’ bawled the PM, making sure the camera crew had a good view of him. Mr Cameron said that he felt ‘fit enough’ for another term of the premiership, and would be gutted if he lost the election. It was country casuals time. The aesthetic was

We have a special aunty nephew bond though.'

The charity race at Cheltenham is supposed to be all about the taking part - except when serial winners Sir Alex Ferguson and multi-champion trainer Paul Nicholls are involved. Co-owner Fergie and Nicholls were so keen for the Ditcheat trainer’s head lad Clifford Baker to ride the winner that his fancied mount Rainy City, who cost £100,000, had exploited the grey areas of eligibility for the last race on the Festival card yesterday. The regulations, confirmed by a Cheltenham spokeswoman, state that horses in the line-up should all have been given an average BHA rating to ensure a competitive race. Sir Alex Ferguson (right) and Paul Nicholls (left) were at Cheltenham to watch Rainy City finish fifth . Yet Rainy City, who is highly thought of in the Nicholls yard, had no BHA rating, and rival jockeys were concerned that Fergie’s horse was far superior to the rest of the field. The get-out clause buried in the fine print was that any horse without a rating could be handicapped by Cheltenham at their discretion. In the event, Rainy City finished an outpaced fifth, having led for most of the 1m 5f. Nicholls said: ‘Of course we wanted to win. But it’s a charity race and we entered to give Clifford a ride.’ Arena Racing Company, who own racecourses that stage 40 per cent of UK fixtures, still chose to hold their annual drinks party during Cheltenham, even though it is not one of their tracks. ARC are owned by the Reuben brothers, the billionaire property developers who have caused serious upset by closing down popular racecourse Hereford and moving its meetings to the over-raced Chepstow and Uttoxeter tracks. Hereford is now empty most of the time as part of a long-term property play between the local council and the Reuben brothers, who are never seen at the races. Arena Racing Company were among many companies hosting their annual drinks at Cheltenham . It doesn’t say much for the commitment to developing homegrown cricket talent that England selector Mike Newell, in his other role as Nottinghamshire’s director of cricket, has signed Zimbabwe batsman Brendan Taylor as a Kolpak player. The 29-year-old has played 23 Tests and 166 ODIs. The move follows another England selector, Middlesex boss Angus Fraser, bringing in New Zealander James Franklin on an Irish passport. Minister for Sport Helen Grant is a guest of the British Horseracing Authority and Jockey Club at Cheltenham today. But Grant, a modest drinker, is unlikely to embrace the liquid Festival hospitality as heartily as one of her predecessors did last year. The former minister was barely able to walk through the car parks after the meeting. Minister for Sport Helen Grant, a modest drinker, is unlikely to end up like a predecessor at Cheltenham .

It might not have seemed like it at the time, but Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes his side's 3-1 defeat at Crystal Palace back in November was the best thing that has happened to them this season. The November 23 loss at Selhurst Park saw Liverpool drop as low as 12th in the Barclays Premier League, but a spectacular turn in form since has seen Rodgers mark the defeat as the turning point that sparked a top-four charge. Victory over champions Manchester City on Sunday stretched the Reds' unbeaten run in the league to 11 games and they are now just two points behind Manchester United in the race for Champions League qualification. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Brendan Rodgers on turning around Liverpool's season . Brendan Rodgers celebrates Liverpool's latest win - over Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday afternoon .

Hart had already been beaten by a superb curling effort from Jordan Henderson (centre) at Anfield . Rodgers spoke alongside former Palace boss Neil Warnock on talkSPORT on Monday morning and joked that his opposite number should take some of the credit for Liverpool's hot streak. Speaking about Warnock, Rodgers said: 'He should (take credit). That was the defining moment, fair play to them, they were excellent on the day. 'I needed to come away from that and look at the team. We were certainly nowhere near the level we had been in the past 18 months. That was turning point.' Mile Jedinak celebrates scoring Palace's third goal in the November win against Liverpool .

Rodgers' tactical switch to 3-4-3 has been lauded as a major contributor to the change in fortunes, but the Northern Irish manager revealed he had already trialled the system earlier in the season - with mixed results. 'I'd looked at it (3-4-3) at the beginning of the season, but thought I needed to change something,' Rodgers said. 'We played it away at Newcastle, and in cup competitions - nobody picked up on it. 'We played well at Newcastle, Raheem Sterling was in a wide role - it didn’t suit him, I had to go away and make it work for him. 'It’s come together quite well now we've been able to work on it more - they (the players) believe in it. Other people have to work out how to play us.' Liverpool have lost just once in the Premier League since their trip to Selhurst Park in November .

Roy Hodgson is holding his cards close to his chest with England’s squad due to be announced this week. England meet Lithuania at Wembley in Euro 2016 qualifying on March 27 before travelling to the Juventus Stadium in Turin for a friendly with Italy four days later. The last time England played was in mid-November, when they beat Scotland and Slovenia with Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck, Rickie Lambert and Saido Berhaino. Yet the contenders have arrived. Harry Kane, Daniel Sturridge, Charlie Austin and Danny Ings are among those that could be selected, and Hodgson is set to pick four from the eight available. So, stick or twist? Well, here are the numbers that may sway Hodgson’s decision one way or another. England captain Wayne Rooney, pictured celebrating against Scotland, looks a certainty to be picked . Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur . Against Arsenal on February 7, Kane scored twice in front of watching England manager Hodgson to win the north London derby. It was deja vu on March 8, when the 21-year-old added two more against Queens Park Rangers yet again in front of the England manager. If that doesn’t convince, perhaps these statistics will: . • Only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo (both 41) have scored more than Kane (26) in all competitions this season . • Only Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa (both 17) have more Premier League goals but Kane (16) did not start a game until November 9 . • Kane has scored 14 in his last 13 Premier League games and became the fourth player in history to score in six consecutive away games . • His goals have contributed a staggering 19 points in the Premier League this season . And we could go on. Kane is used to leading a 4-2-3-1 at Tottenham, and would have to adapt to a partnership in Hodgson’s classic 4-4-2 midfield diamond formation. Even so, the question is not should Hodgson pick the highest scoring Englishman, but rather how could he not? VERDICT: SHOULD GO . Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane beats Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Robert Green last week . Kane celebrates one of his many goals this season as the striker gets noticed in the Premier League . Kane will hope to be involved in Roy Hodgson's England squad when it is announced this week . Charlie Austin, Queens Park Rangers . QPR vs Tottenham was billed as the battle of the two best kids on the playground yet, with teacher watching on, Kane overshadowed his potential England team-mate. But Austin, seemingly carrying the third-bottom team in the Premier League, remains the fourth top goalscorer (15), just one behind the man with better service at White Hart Lane. Shoot on sight, seems to be the strategy. Austin ranks first in total shots (61) and shooting accuracy (67 per cent) out of the eight potential England forwards, having played more minutes (2,169) than any of the others this season. Austin’s goals have contributed 45 per cent of QPR’s points this season, and manager Chris Ramsey reckons he and Kane

Summary: England face Lithuania on March 27 and Italy in a friendly on March 31 . Roy Hodgson is likely to select four strikers in his Three Lions squad . Harry Kane and Charlie Austin have been in fine form so far this season . Captain Wayne Rooney has played in midfield for Manchester United . Daniel Sturridge has returned to action with Liverpool after a long absence . Danny Welbeck, Rickie Lambert and Danny Ings also in contention .

The Seattle Times reports that students allege several white men shouted the comments from the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house as demonstrators passed Feb. 25. The protesters were in a Black Lives Matter march to raise awareness about racism. The University of Washington is investigating allegations SAE fraternity members made racial slurs and obscene gestures to black students marching in protest . Several students from the University of Oklahoma chapter captured here on video performing their racist song say they've received death threats .

The Seattle Times reports he says it's working with others to hold them accountable. Meanwhile, attorney Stephen Jones tells CNN that some of the fraternity brothers at the University of Oklahoma, who's racist chant caught on tape started investigations into the fraternity's background, have received death threats since the recording was released. Still others, he said, had been physically assaulted.

'We've got fans on the pitch. The game's still going on'. That's not me making a mess of Kenneth Wolstenholme's infamous words from Wembley in 1966 when the boys in red won the World Cup. That was Jonathan Pearce's spontaneous reaction on commentary when some Villa fans piled onto the playing area towards the end of their team's semi-final at home to West Brom. Of course they were scenes that no one wanted to see. Except that they very nearly were. Because they were a hare's breath from what we saw when Geoff Hurst went through to make it 4-2. Only time surely makes that a less controversial incident? Aston Villa fans invaded the pitch after their FA Cup win over West Brom on Saturday night and are seen taunting the away supporters as a line of police keeps them apart . Thousands stream onto the pitch after the match, which was moved to Saturday evening by the BBC . Geoff Hurst races through to score England's fourth goal in the 1966 World Cup final with West Germany . The FA Cup is a tournament that we were told had lost its lustre. And attendances may well have endorsed that. But this season, with the FA succumbing to the scheduling charms of their new telly twins the BBC and BT, the tournament seems to have taken on a new lease of life. The kind of effervescent and exciting competition in which frequent nostalgic reruns of great Cup days somewhat ironically often includes the sight of fans celebrating on the pitch. Not that that makes that group of Villa fans' behaviour justifiable. Although you might debate that a Midland derby that doesn't kick-off until Saturday tea time could just be asking for such a response? But the timing was because, I can only assume, the slots were preordained for the BBC to include Saturday and Monday evenings. While BT had Saturday lunchtime and Sunday afternoon. And with the Beeb having first dibs on that deal. Or in other words, Auntie had what they'd consider would be the ideal ties, with which to ensure the biggest possible audience, at the best possible times in their schedule. BBC presenter Gary Lineker and pundits Jermaine Jenas and Alan Shearer watch the pitch invasion . Monday night's line-up for the Manchester United vs Arsenal featured Roy Keane, Alan Shearer and Ian Wright alongside Gary Lineker in the Old Trafford studio . BT Sport's team of (from left) Jake Humphrey, Paul Jewell, Owen Hargreaves and Steve McManaman with the FA Cup pitchside at Bradford City vs Reading on Saturday . This was a situation BT Sport decided to create a silk purse from. Why hadn't we'd been following this season's giant killers Bradford, a nation had cried, having been caught up in the excitement of what had gone on so far with their exploits? Well, on Saturday lunchtime, BT went free to air to answer that call and show us this season's favourite Davids in action live against the Goliaths of...Reading. OK, not a hell of a mismatch,

Summary: BBC and BT Sport shared coverage of weekend's FA Cup quarter-finals . Aston Villa vs West Brom was marred by pitch invasion at final whistle . Many blamed the BBC for scheduling the game on Saturday evening . Arsenal fans also faced travel chaos with Man United tie at Old Trafford . BT Sport didn't get a goal in either of their quarter-final matches . But both have revitalised a competition that had lost its lustre .

The West Indies opener posted 'I'm not leaving' alongside an Instagram video on himself singing along with an amused singer in Sydney on Sunday.

'I'm actually out of the Test series, the back won't hold up for that format at this point in time, but I haven't retired from any format as yet.'

In the children's wing of any hospital a sick child's smile can be a very rare commodity. Lea Boyce can attest to that after she spent years going back and forth between hospital and home with her young daughter Sophie. When Sophie was only three-years-old she put her delicate hand on a running treadmill and it gave her a nasty friction burn which required years of medical attention. She was referred to the Royal Melbourne Children's Hospital to see a burns specialist but never expected to be treated by a doctor with face paint and pink hair. Scroll down for video . Sophie, right, spent years nurturing a relationship with her favourite clown doctor, left, Doctor Fairy Floss . On her first visit she met Dr Fairyfloss and Dr Fantastic, two colourful clown doctors who spend their days brightening the lives of children who need it the most. 'We were having to drive 5 hours to get to the hospital every week so the fact that you could spend the 5 hours talking about which clown doctor would be there was a great distraction and therapy for her.' Sophie required painful and constant dressing changes and eventually ended up having surgery to release scar tissue after her middle finger started to retract. Sophie told Daily Mail Australia the clown doctors always went above and beyond doing 'anything they could' to give her and the other kids in the hospital a 'break from reality.' 'There would be some pretty bad things happening to me and it would hurt quite a lot but the clown doctors would totally take that away and make it fun.' 'There's no doubt in our minds that they had a massive impact on her physical healing by first nurturing her heart and emotions.' 'They would play with the equipment or have little things in their pockets that were really gross! They would tell me jokes and sing songs, even play the ukulele.' Doctor Fantastic, left, and Doctor Doctor would do anything in their power to lighten the mood . She said having the clowns around meant she looked forward to hospital visits as opposed to fearing them. After watching her daughter emotionally connect with the clown doctors during such a challenging time in her life Ms Boyce said she was certain the doctors had a massive influence on Sophie's emotional well being. 'There were days where Sophie was having procedures to her hand and the clown doctor's were having difficultly distracting her so they would start finding medical instruments in the room to play sword fights or even throw water balloons on the roof.' 'There's no doubt in our minds that they had a massive impact on her physical healing by first nurturing her heart and emotions.' Ms Boyce said she found it challenging to describe exactly what the clown doctors did because it was more than just what they did, it was about how they made her daughter feel. 'Each day it was something different. There are times when she needed that big, bold slapstick comedy and there

Summary: When Sophie Boyce was three years old she badly burnt her hand . The injury meant she spent years going in and out of hospital . Sophie says hospital was fun because she was treated by Clown Doctors . Sophie and her mother are now ambassadors for the program . There are only 60 clown doctors working in 22 hospitals across Australia . Clown Doctors is a not-for-profit organisation and receive no funding . CommBank is trying to raise $200,000 to help fund more clown doctors .


There wasn't much chance of any of the pooches at Crufts today being called a 'dog's dinner'.

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry gave fans at Anfield a glimpse of his very, very best after nailing a cheeky pass to Ryan Babel during an All-Stars game between a Steven Gerrard XI and a Jamie Carragher XI. The former Arsenal man hung up his boots in December, but there was no sign of rustiness as the 37-year-old former France international pulled off the audacious move. Henry, who had been playing for MLS side New York Red Bulls before calling it a day, looked set to pull the trigger after picking up the ball on the edge of the box, only to dummy a shot with his right and play a pass with his left.

Babel was the man to benefit from the pass as it rolled perfectly to his feet, but the Dutchman dragged his effort wide in a manner Liverpool fans had become fully accustomed to during his time on Merseyside. The first goal of the game had been scored by Mario Balotelli and a cracker it was too, the Italian whipping a 25-yard drive that fizzed into the corner of The Kop net on nine minutes. He wasn’t put under great pressure but the finish still smacked of class. At one stage it looked as if Carragher’s side, managed by Roy Evans, would saunter to victory but Gerrard has made comebacks a fixture of his Liverpool career and he ensured this match did not end in defeat.

A flamboyant Congressman who spent $40,000 of taxpayers' money redecorating his office in the style of 'Downton Abbey' and spent thousands more taking a private jet to watch a sporting event resigned on Tuesday. Aaron Schock, a Republican from Illinois, had faced fresh questions over 170,000 miles he claimed he had driven in a car which he sold with only 80,000 miles on the odometer. He had already been in the spotlight over a series of expense claims. Along with the makeover, he billed $10,000 for a private jet trip to watch the Chicago Bears play football. 'Today, I am announcing my resignation as a Member of the United States House of Representatives effective March 31,' Schock, 33, said in a statement issued by his Capitol Hill office.

'GOOD LUCK TONIGHT': Schock tweeted this Instagram selfie with singer Ariana Grande, 21, before the American Music Awards in November . 'I do this with a heavy heart. Serving the people of the 18th District is the highest and greatest honor I have had in my life. I thank them for their faith in electing me and letting me represent their interests in Washington.' But 'the constant questions over the last six weeks,' he admitted, 'have proven a great distraction that has made it too difficult for me to serve the people of the 18th District with the high standards that they deserve and which I have set for myself.' It was a dramatic turn from just last month when he flippantly responded to complaints about his lavish office redecoration. 'Haters gonna hate,' he replied then. Schock gained a reputation as a walking lifestyle magazine, attending entertainment awards show and giving interviews about his buff physique. In November he posted a selfie on Instagram that he snapped with 21-year-old singer Ariana Grande before the American Music Awards. Other Instagram snaps in his timeline show him mugging with Pope Francis, Apple Computer CEO Tim Cook, Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler, the country music band Lady Antebellum, and legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

Wales coach Robin McBryde has warned fans that attractive and entertaining rugby is low on the agenda ahead of Saturday's RBS 6 Nations Test against Ireland. Recent comments from All Blacks boss Steve Hansen about the game being 'geared towards defences that inhibit attack' have sparked debate around the sport's marketability, with McBryde predicting another war of attrition at the Millennium Stadium. Asked if he expects a feast of running rugby, the 44-year-old said: 'I'm not too sure about that. There is a lot at stake. Ireland are on course for a Grand Slam and just to get away from Cardiff with a win, that's all they will be looking to do. Wales coach Robin McBryde insists that winning rather than attractive rugby will be their main priority . Jamie Roberts (right) in action for Wales during the Six Nations match with France at the Stade de France . New Zealand's Steve Hansen recently suggested that rugby is being geared towards a more defensive style . 'With regards to playing any attractive rugby, that will come second. That's the nature of the game at the moment and that's how teams are wearing each other down and, unfortunately, the spectators have got to pay a price for that.' Wales have beaten Ireland just twice in Cardiff over the last 32 years and McBryde is expecting one of the toughest challenges to date against the championship favourites. 'They are on a bit of a roll at the moment — 10 wins on the bounce,' said McBryde. 'Certainly from the outside it looks a very happy camp. This is quite a formidable Ireland team and we are going to have to be at our best to come close to them.' All eyes will be on the battle of the skies as the hosts look to end the visitors' Grand Slam push and keep alive their own championship hopes. They have been working overtime to nullify the aerial bombardment from Jonathan Sexton and Conor Murray, with scrum-half Rhys Webb promising not to repeat the mistakes that England made in Dublin two weeks ago. 'I don't know if England did much analysis on them,' said Webb. 'They didn't seem to put much pressure on nine and 10 whatsoever. We need to be on the money and we know there is no margin for error.'

Luis Enrique says England's lack of a winter break may have given Barcelona an advantage against Manchester City – and he hopes the Premier League don't change their fixture list. Manuel Pellegrini suggested after City's 1-0 defeat in the Nou Camp that the number of games English clubs played in December and January meant they struggled in the latter stages of the Champions League. City's 3-1 aggregate defeat followed Arsenal's exit at the hands of Monaco on Tuesday and Chelsea's defeat by Paris Saint-Germain last week – leaving no English clubs in the last eight of the Champions League for the second time in three seasons. Luis Enrique conceded Barcelona may have an advantage over English sides due to the winter break . Ivan Rakitic (right) scored as Barcelona beat Manchester City 1-0 in the Nou Camp on Wednesday . City manager Manuel Pellegrini believes the games his team play over Christmas hinder them in Europe . And Enrique has some sympathy for Pellegrini. 'We are used to resting during winter with our families,' Enrique said. 'I heard (Southampton manager) Ronald Koeman complaining about the number of fixtures in England, so maybe it is an advantage for us. 'I don't know, it is impossible to say, but we do enjoy watching the English teams playing on Boxing Day.' Speaking after the game, Pellegrini suggested the heavy fixture scheduling played a part in City's demise. Lionel Messi's Barcelona eliminated City by beating them 3-1 on aggregate in the Champions League . For the second time in three years, there are not any English teams in the last eight of the Champions League . Pellegrini said: 'It is difficult to analyse because the Premier League is strong, with money and very good players. 'We play so many games in December and January and we are not fresh in February. In Spain, Italy and Germany they stop playing. Last year we played nine games in December and nine in January, and that was before we played Barcelona.' VIDEO Enrique hails 'special night' for Barca .

Alan Stubbs has lambasted Willie Collum over the referee’s role in the goal that sealed a 2-0 win for Rangers at Easter Road. The Hibernian boss was astonished that Collum didn’t award a free-kick after Lee Wallace appeared to foul Paul Hanlon as the centre-half sought to clear. Kenny Miller seized the loose ball and, with the home defence still appealing for an infringement, cracked home an 80th-minute shot that added to Wallace’s opener. Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs speaks to the fourth official; he was unhappy with the referee's performance . Referee Willie Collum was on the end of some stick from Hibs boss Stubbs after their game against Rangers . Stubbs attempted to pick his words carefully afterwards but couldn’t disguise his anger towards Collum, who has been at the centre of numerous controversies this season. ‘Can I say no comment in case I get into any trouble?’ Stubbs opened. ‘I’ve been in management a short time. I was a player a long time. Over the years, that decision would be given 100 per cent of the time. ‘I think that’s probably the best way to describe it without me getting into trouble. ‘Not 90 per cent, not 99 per cent, 100 per cent. But a guy who has an influence over a game decided differently. Stubbs was sure that a foul on Paul Hanlon (right) would have been given '100 per cent' of the time . Stubbs (centre) watches on from the dugout as his Hibs side fell to a 2-0 defeat by Rangers . ‘When he sees it back again... well, there’s no point. He’s there to get the big calls right and he got a big call very, very wrong. ‘There was no point speaking to him afterwards. Everyone in the stadium could see it was a foul. ‘I don’t want to sit here and try to justify a decision. Only one guy can do that, but he’s protected and not allowed to talk. It spoiled the game, although obviously not from Rangers’ point of view.’ Hanlon was booked for his protests towards Collum as Rangers celebrated Miller’ s first goal since December. ‘Most of the stadium felt it was a foul,’ said the defender. ‘I thought it was but the referee thought differently. Kenny Miller (centre) celebrates after his goal gave Rangers an unassailable 2-0 lead over Hibs . Miller is mobbed by the ecstatic Rangers supporters who had made the trip to Easter Road on Saturday . ‘I read the pass, got in front of Wallace and went to clear with my right foot. I just felt like I was taken out. ‘It’s disappointing a decision like that has maybe ruined our chances of getting anything from the game. ‘I wasn’t given an explanation, he (Collum) just decided to book me for dissent even though I didn’t say much. ‘I just said it was a foul, along with everyone else who surrounded him. ‘I didn’t even think I was in his face but I think he just has to pick a player and book him.’

Summary: Lee Wallace and Kenny Miller scored as Rangers beat Hibernian 2-0 . That result leaves Rangers three points behind Hibs with a game in hand . Hibs boss Alan Stubbs was unhappy with the referee's performance . He was astonished Collum didn't award Hibs a free-kick in the build-up .


Zafar Ansari and Mark Wood could be beneficiaries of the uncertainty around an England Test squad whose reputation has been left in tatters by the World Cup. Question marks remain over the fitness of Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes ahead of Wednesday’s naming of the party for a three-Test series against the West Indies that Peter Moores desperately needs to win if he is to remain England coach. Moeen and Woakes were injured towards the end of England’s disastrous World Cup campaign and are far from certain of being fit ahead of the first Test in Antigua on April 13 that follows two warm-up games in St Kitts. Zafar Ansari could be named as part of the England squad ahead of the three-Test series against West Indies . The 23-year-old is an all-rounder who bowls left-arm orthodox spin and opens the batting for Surrey . The 23-year-old Zafar Ansari is an all-rounder who bowls left-arm orthodox spin and opens the batting for Surrey. IS HE ANY GOOD? Just ask Kevin Pietersen! So often a victim of left-arm spin, the former England batsman was dismissed by a 19-year-old Ansari as Cambridge University beat Surrey by 10 wickets in 2011. Ansari has 54 first-class wickets and a batting average of 30.16. ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW? Ansari would probably be among the smarter cricketers in England’s tour party, having studied politics at Cambridge. He admits he is often ribbed by his team-mates for having a crossword out in the dressing room. That means Surrey’s left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder Ansari and Durham pace bowler Wood could be named to travel with the squad as cover for Moeen and Woakes in the early days of the month-long tour. Ansari, 23, is predominantly a batsman and topped 1,000 championship runs last season but is perhaps the nearest equivalent to Moeen on the circuit. Wood impressed England’s outgoing fast bowling coach David Saker during a training camp in South Africa before Christmas and only fitness concerns have held the 25-year-old back from full international recognition. It seems certain that Jonathan Trott, now returned to full fitness after leaving England’s last Ashes tour with a condition later diagnosed as situational anxiety, will return after a successful tour of South Africa as Lions captain. England’s Test middle order is settled following the success of Gary Ballance, Joe Root and Ian Bell in the three successive victories over India last summer, leaving Trott to battle Sam Robson to become Alastair Cook’s opening partner. Mark Wood (centre) could also be included in England's test squad to face the West Indies . Question marks remain over the fitness of Moeen Ali (pictured) ahead of the Test series . Peter Moores desperately needs England to defeat the West Indies if he is to remain coach . Cook, sacked as one-day captain on the brink of the World Cup, returns to action for MCC against Yorkshire in Abu Dhabi starting on Sunday and will then seek to build on the progress made by England in Test cricket last summer. Jonny Bairstow, one of the casualties

Summary: Surrey all-rounder Zafar Ansari could be set for an England call-up . Durham fast bowler Mark Wood could also be included . Peter Moores under pressure following poor World Cup . Squad for three-Test series set to be announced on Wednesday .


Arsenal target Charles Aranguiz has admitted it would be a ‘dream’ to move to the north London club. The Chile midfielder plays for Brazilian club side Internacional, but has been scouted by Arsene Wenger since he starred in last summer’s World Cup. Aranguiz had a taste of what a move would have to offer when he featured in Chile’s 1-0 defeat to Brazil at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Afterwards asked about Arsenal he said: ‘They're a great team, and it would be a dream but for now that's all it is, a dream. ‘I don't know anything about it. I've heard about it through the press but nobody has talked to me.’ Aranguiz, 25, has the unusual blend of being a bullish midfielder as well as a creative playmaker and impressed during Brazil 2014. Any move, which could potentially take place during the summer, would be eased by his national team-mate Alexis Sanchez already playing at Arsenal. Aranguiz's Chile international team-mate Alexis Sanchez (right) already plays for Arsenal . Aranguiz (left) believes that he would be suited to the physicality of the Premier League . It is thought that a bid in the region of £5million would be enough to prise Aranguiz away from his club side. He is keen on a move to England where his game would be suited to the style of play in the Premier League.

Summary: Chile midfielder Charles Aranguiz is reportedly a target for Arsenal . He has been linked with a £5million switch from Brazilian side Internacional . Aranguiz played at The Emirates as Chile lost 1-0 to Brazil on Sunday .


A fierce row has broken out between Stephen King and Maine Governor Paul LePage after the governor claimed that the author doesn't pay state income taxes and has moved away from the state. King immediately shot back that LePage should 'man up and apologize' for the comments because he still resides in Maine. LePage's comments came during his weekly radio address when he argued that states without an income tax, like Florida, have lured away Maine residents, including King. Fight: Novelist Stephen King says he still lives in Maine, and insists that Governor Paul LePage's claim that he has moved from the state is inaccurate . Statement: Governor Paul LePage said: 'Well, today former Governor Ken Curtis lives in Florida where there is zero income tax. Stephen King and Roxanne Quimby have moved away, as well' House: Bangor resident Stephen King's house is pictured here, the best-selling author said he and his wife paid about $1.4 million in Maine state taxes in 2013 and likely paid about the same for 2014 . He said: 'Meanwhile, remember who introduced the income tax here in Maine. 'Well, today former Governor Ken Curtis lives in Florida where there is zero income tax. Stephen King and Roxanne Quimby have moved away, as well.' LePage's office withdrew the radio address Thursday, after learning that the statement about King was false. The corrected version, posted on the governor’s official website, deleted the reference to King and Quimby. King spends winters in Florida but told the Portland Press Herald that he and his wife paid about $1.4 million in Maine state taxes in 2013 and likely paid about the same for 2014. He told the Portland Press Herald: 'In 2013, my wife and I paid approximately $1.4 million in state taxes. 'As this is a matter of public record, I have no problem telling you that. I would imagine 2014 was about the same, but I do not have those figures.' King has an estimated fortune of $400million from book publishing and movie rights, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com. Tweet: King tweeted 'Governor Paul LePage implied that I don't pay my taxes. I do. Every cent. I think he needs to man up and apologize.' Backtracking: LePage, right, withdrew the statement about King on Thursday after learning that it was false . The author's foundation awards $3 million to $5 million in grants annually, mostly in Maine. King, a best-selling author, has written over 55 successful horror novels. However, the remark prompted King, a legal resident of Maine to say the governor 'was full of the stuff that makes the grass grow green.' King then tweeted Friday how much he paid the state in taxes over the last two years. The entire tax controversy stems from a plan being considered by the governor of Maine to overhaul tax. According to the Portland Press Herald, the plan would reduce the state income tax by raising the sales tax and applying it to new items and services. This, the Republican governor believes would encourage rich retirees and seasonal inhabitants to make Maine their

Summary: Maine Governor Paul LePage accused Stephen King of 'moving away' from the state . LePage withdrew remarks after learning the statement about King was inaccurate . King said the Maine governor should 'man up and apologize' for comments .


Outspoken Labour MP Austin Mitchell has been told off by the party’s high command for poking fun at Ed Miliband’s two kitchens. Mr Mitchell, 80, who is standing down as an MP in May, last week mischievously tweeted a picture of his own kitchen – complete with an unpacked bag of shopping and half-full glass of wine on the table – under the heading ‘this is what a real Labour kitchen looks like’. Yesterday he was sent a rebuke by Karl Turner, the shadow solicitor general, for the ‘attack’ on the party leader, warning him ‘if you can’t say anything supportive, keep your opinion to yourself’. Austin Mitchell tweeted this photograph with the caption: 'This is what a real Labour kitchen looks like' It is just the latest twist in the drama about Mr Miliband’s domestic set-up after he and wife Justine were filmed for a BBC interview having tea in a very small, empty kitchen with no seating area. In response to criticism, a family friend tweeted that the kitchen in the Milibands’ £2million North London townhouse was ‘lovely’ and that this was a ‘functional kitchenette’ for making ‘tea and snacks’. While most Labour MPs have resisted comment on the issue, Mr Mitchell fuelled the fire this weekend by tweeting: ‘Labour’s new pledge card promises two kitchens for all by 2030, two toilets by 2035.’ Last week, in a jibe at the Conservatives’ so-called bedroom tax, the veteran MP for Great Grimsby, had said: ‘Tories to introduce spare kitchen tax’. Mr Turner wrote him a letter, which Mr Mitchell duly published on his website yesterday, which read: ‘You’re a joke Austin. It’s very sad to see it but it’s becoming increasingly apparent. You think it clever to attack us. 'It’s not clever and you’ve had plenty out of the Party. Stop attacking us. ‘I am reluctant to pull you up publicly because you love the attention so very much. If you can’t say anything supportive just keep your opinion to yourself. 'We need to retain Grimsby. You’ve done little to help with that. And I doubt you’ve ever had a kitchen in Grimsby.’ It is just the latest twist in the drama about Mr Miliband’s domestic set-up after he and wife Justine were filmed for a BBC interview having tea in a very small, empty kitchen with no seating area . Mr Turner, the MP for Hull East, added that Mr Miliband ‘has one in Donny [his constituency in Doncaster] and mine’s massive in East Hull.’ It is a reference to Labour MPs’ thinking that Mr Mitchell has done little to help them campaign to keep the seat. It is the only Labour seat in the country which pollsters believe Ukip has a chance of winning. The veteran MP, who is an outspoken Eurosceptic, has also infuriated the leadership by claiming in a recent article that his party was promoting too many young women. He said Labour, which has used all-women shortlists to boost their numbers of female MPs, was ‘undergoing the biggest process of feminisation and rejuvenation embarked on since

Summary: Austin Mitchell mischievously tweeted a picture of his kitchen last week . He accompanied image with: 'This is what a real Labour kitchen looks like' The MP has been scolded by the party's high command for poking fun .
