A northeast Ohio bridal store linked to Ebola nurse Amber Vinson has put its building up for sale after announcing plans to close. Miss Vinson, 30, a nurse at Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, was diagnosed with Ebola days after visiting Coming Attractions Bridal & Formal store in Akron, Ohio in October. The store temporarily closed and was cleaned before reopening, but its owner, Anna Younker, said there was a lingering 'stigma' and business failed to bounce back. On Friday she announced on the shop's Facebook page that the bank has now cut off the business credit line, forcing her to sell the building for $338,000. Negative press: Coming Attractions Bridal & Formal store in Akron, Ohio, (above) which was linked to Ebola nurse Amber Vinson, is now up for sale after business failed to bounce back . Chain of events: Miss Vinson, 30, a nurse at Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas (pictured), was diagnosed with Ebola days after visiting the shop in October . The store, located at 1220 E. Tallmadge Ave., is listed with Cutler Real Estate. Particulars describe it as a 'great 4,000 sq ft brick retail building, built in 1996 with eye-catching curb appeal. 'The space would be ideal for beauty shop, message facility, auto parts store, doctors/dentist office, day-care center or veterinarian with plenty of parking.' Younker, who has been in business for 30 years, said her shop became known as the 'Ebola store' after news of Vinson's visit hit the press. She claims that the temporary closure and canceled orders cost the store at least $100,000. The loss wasn't covered by her insurance because the plan excludes viral illnesses. Ms Younker told NewsNet5 that Miss Vinson, who was visiting her hometown for a few days to plan for her wedding, should have been more careful.

'I wish that now she knew better not to travel. The impact its had on me is huge,' the store owner said. 'Never in a million years did I expect something like this to cause our business to have to close.' Ms Younker said she was particularly offended when Miss Vinson asked for a $480 refund on her bridesmaid dresses. Miss Vinson, who recovered from Ebola nine days after treatment, asked that the shop refund her bridesmaids the $479.89 they paid for their dresses, via her attorney. Ms Younker said the refund request feel like 'a slap in the face'. In January she posted a message to customers on Facebook, announcing that her business would be closing down. 'Despite our best efforts, we simply have been unable to recover,' she wrote. 'The decision for me to close was not easy for me. Anna Younker (above), who has been in business for 30 years, said her shop became known as the 'Ebola store' after news of Vinson's visit hit .

Stuart Lancaster insists the Six Nations campaign proves England now possess the strength in depth to win the World Cup after they turned Twickenham back into a fortress. Lancaster’s squad won four matches out of five despite missing Lions stars Manu Tuilagi, Brad Barritt and Owen Farrell plus No 8 Ben Morgan for the entire campaign. With the likes of George Ford, Jonathan Joseph, George Kruis and Anthony Watson now blooded on the international stage, Lancaster believes England will enter the World Cup in six months’ time in rude health. Stuart Lancaster believes England's Six Nations exploits proved they have the squad to win the World Cup . England fell six points short of winning the Six Nations title despite a 55-35 win over France . ‘There has always been a huge sense of belief that we are going in the right direction,’ he said. ‘The challenges we faced with the injury situation leading into the Wales game didn’t dent that belief. From what I see in training we have a tight, connected group who are improving all the time. ‘Clearly we are still a bit young, light on experience, particularly in the back line. ‘That will improve with the likes of Brad Barritt, Owen Farrell and Manu being available, all of whom will be playing in the next few weeks we hope.’ England have beaten World Cup pool rivals Australia and Wales convincingly and with 82,000 fans producing another pulsating atmosphere at Twickenham on Saturday, Lancaster says belief will be sky-high when the tournament kicks off on September 18. Asked if England can win the World Cup, Lancaster was unequivocal. George Ford has impressed for England throughout their Six Nations campaign at fly half . England's Jonathan Joseph is challenged by France's Remi Tales during the match at Twickenham . ‘Yes, definitely,’ he said. ‘We’ve beaten Australia, we’ve beaten Wales, we’ve put 55 points on France. ‘New Zealand we’ve beaten before and pushed them close in the summer series. So, absolutely. ‘You saw the influence the crowd had on the players today. Playing at home is a huge factor as well.’ Lancaster now has four runners-up finishes in four Six Nations campaigns but has no fear his players will be psychologically damaged by another near miss. ‘The players’ mindset is to use it more as a motivation to make sure you don’t feel that pain again. The pain is deep. It does not create a scar.’ England were without the injured Manu Tuilagi for the entire of the Six Nations Championship . England captain Chris Robshaw echoed Lancaster's thoughts that they can be contenders for the World Cup . Barring injury, Chris Robshaw will captain England into the World Cup and he backed his coach’s assessment of their development. ‘We can be contenders,’ he said. ‘We are playing very well at home and have built a lot of momentum. And if you look at where all the games are, they are back here. ‘Look at the crowd, I think it was the loudest I have ever heard, including the two Six

Summary: Stuart Lancaster optimistic of England's World Cup chances . England fell six points shy of winning Six Nations title . Lancaster encouraged by his team's performance in the competition . Chris Robshaw also believes England will be World Cup contenders .


Islamic State torturer-in-chief Jihadi John scratched the outline of a sword on the face of one of his victims in order to signify that he was to be beheaded, according to an account by a hostage held by the terrorist group. Spanish journalist Marc Marginedas, 46, who was released a year ago, says he and 18 other hostages were guarded by three terrorists, who all spoke with British accents. And he reveals that they named them the 'Beatles' because they liked 'beating' people, not simply because they were British. The leader of the group, who came to be known as Jihadi John and has since been identified as Kuwaiti-born Londoner Mohammed Emwazi, went on to behead five hostages. Telling his story: Spanish journalist Marc Marginedas, 46, who was released by ISIS a year ago, says he and 18 other hostages were guarded by three terrorists, who all spoke with British accents . Killer: The leader of the so-called 'Beatles' - who came to be known as Jihadi John (left) and has since been identified as Kuwaiti-born Londoner Mohammed Emwazi (right) - went on to behead five hostages . Mr Marginedas, a seasoned war reporter held for six months by ISIS, has published a detailed account of his ordeal at the hands of the 'Beatles' in the Spanish newspaper, El Periódico de Catalunya. The hostages were eventually taken to a prison in Raqqa, northern Syria, where the 'Beatles' had a room next to the prisoners, separated only by a broken glass door and a curtain. Mr Marginedas said the three masked 'Beatles' liked to burst into their cell shouting and threatening the prisoners, and always ended up 'beating' at least one of the hostages. Prisoner: Marc Marginedas, a seasoned war reporter - was held for six months by Islamic State terrorists . On one occasion he recalls how Jihadi John carried out a savage beating of one of the hostages who had been told to approach the door. Recalls Mr Marginedas: 'Once in position, [Jihadi John] took a red pen and began to draw a sword on the [unnamed] hostage's face, letting him know, in this macabre he would end his days in Syria, beheaded.' 'The pen tip broke before he finished the sketch, but Jihadi John wanted to finish his work with the rest of sharpened pencil, already cut almost like a knife, tearing the skin of the cheek with a vengeance, and leaving for the following days a visible wound in the face, outlined by the scar.' Mr Marginedas also claims that the Beatles were only put in charge of the prisoners because Islamic State commanders couldn't spare hardened fighters from the battlefield. And he believes this may have been a source of a grievance to them which only served to fuel their cruelty. Mr Marginedas was captured on the 4th of September 2013 by rebel jihadists, close to the city of Hama, in Western Syria. He had entered the country three days before, through Turkey; accompanied by members of the Free Syrian Army (FSA). According to Mr Marginedas, Jihadi John

Group nicknamed The Beatles because they regularly 'beat' prisoners . Jihadi John - later identified as Mohammed Emwazi - was the gang leader . He would draw on the prisoners heads with a red pen to mark out who he next planned to brutally execute in a filmed beheading .

A 'sadistic' double murderer has been granted clemency by the Indonesia President Joko Widodo, while two of the Bali Nine ringleaders remain on death row. Just weeks after Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were denied clemency, Dwi Trisna Firmansyah had his death sentence reduced to life. The 27-year-old was one of three killers involved in the brutal premeditated murder of a shop owner and his school- aged son in April 2012,News Corp reported. Scroll down for video . A 'sadistic' murderer has been granted clemency in Indonesia, while Australian convicted drug traffickers Andrew Chan (right) and Myuran Sukumaran (left) remain on death row . While the decision, which was apparently signed off by Widodo on February 13 but only reached Firmansyah this week, has been praised by human rights groups, they have also said it highlights the inequalities in the judicial system. The lawyer for Firmansyah hopes he will be out from behind bars in the next few years. The 27-year-old, along with two others, allegedly planned to rob and murder a mobile shop owner in Pekanbaru. The trio broke into the man's shop and hit him over the head with a wooden bat while he was taking part in his morning pair. When the man's son tried to come to his father's aid he was also killed. The pair may be waiting months for their execution as other prisoners pursue lengthy appeals . After the murders the group stole the shop owner's car, along with a number of mobile phones and phone credit. Their appeal to the Supreme Court earlier this year failed, but Firmansyah was then shown mercy amid the Indonesian President's tirade against convicted drug smugglers. This comes after it was revealed Chan and Sukumaran could have their executions delayed for months as other death row inmates take on lengthy court appeals. It has been revealed by the Indonesian attorney-general Muhammad Prasetyo that the execution of the Bali nine duo will take place at the same time as several other foreigners on death row. This could delay the pair's execution as all avenues of legal appeal for the other eight convicted drug offenders must be exhausted before their death sentence can be carried out. The Indonesian Governor-General has said the death row inmates will be executed 'simultaneously' Myuran Sukumaran, left, and Andrew Chan, right, will be put through an 'assimilation' process as they prepare to face the firing squad . This means Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran may have months to wait before they face the firing squad. Mr Prasetyo also claims the death row inmates will be put through an 'assimilation' process which he believes will help them mentally prepare for their death. 'They will be accompanied by religious figures until they're truly ready,' he said. The two men are currently being held in isolation cells where they are able talk to each other. Their interaction with other inmates is limited to one Nigerian who is also on death row. Prison authorities claim there's been no order to move Mr Chan and Mr Sukumaran from 'Death Island' even

Summary: Condemned Bali nine duo to be executed with other death row inmates . Indonesian Attorney-General reveals plans for 'simultaneous' execution . Prisoners could be waiting months as all appeals must first be exhausted . They'll go through 'assimilation' process to prepare themselves for death . The pair's appeal for clemency will recommence Thursday March 20 . Art exhibit featuring Mr Sukumaran's work was cancelled by prison official . Authorities say they don't want to get caught up in politicised execution .


The SFA’s new performance director, Brian McClair is being paid generously for his expertise. But many would have paid a penny for his thoughts on Tuesday night. The moment he read the quotes of his colleague Ricky Sbragia on young Jack Harper. To the uninitiated, Harper is Scottish football’s new wonderkid. Islam Feruz without the attitude. Mark Wotte – McClair’s predecessor – dubbed the Real Madrid youth player Scotland’s answer to Robin van Persie. Real Madrid youngster Jack Harper in action against Ludogorets in the UEFA Youth League match . Scotland Under-19s manager Ricky Sbragia has left Harper out of his squad for the upcoming games . He did so because, by all accounts, Harper does not fit the typical Scottish mould. He is not quite a No 9, not entirely a No 10. He is a creative type who scores goals under the watchful eye of Real coach Zinedine Zidane. So far this season he has scored three goals for Real in the UEFA Youth League and is midway through a five-year deal signed in 2012. Born in Fuengirola, near Malaga, the 18-year-old is Spanish. And Spain’s Under-19 coach Luis de la Fuente has used his birth certificate to try to recruit him. Marvellously, however, Harper does not want to play for Spain. His parents are from Barrhead. He wants to play for Scotland. Incredibly, Scotland seems less keen on him. Sbragia’s Under-19 squad are currently preparing for UEFA European Championships elite round with games against Austria, Italy and Croatia this week. And Harper, dubbed a ‘luxury’ player, is nowhere to be found. In a throwback to the old school thinking which preceded the SFA’s high-profile 2020 performance strategy, Sbragia explains his absence by saying: ‘Our concentration is on the opening game with Austria and we’ve deliberately got more height in our squad. That’s one of the reasons why Jack isn’t in. Highly rated forward Harper has already been linked with moves to Manchester United and Liverpool . ‘The last time he was with us, he did okay, but I wanted a little more impact. At Real Madrid, he can float all over the place. But with us, he has to be more disciplined. ‘It’s purely tactical and there certainly hasn’t been a lack of enthusiasm from Jack about playing for Scotland.’ There might be now, of course. Most of all when Harper learns that young Oliver McBurnie, an 18-year-old striker who plays for Bradford City is in the squad. Currently McBurnie, six foot two in his stocking soles, is on loan at Chester City – a non-league club in the English Conference Premier. Within the SFA, there is a recognition of how damaging and old-fashioned all this looks. Regarded as a progressive, forward thinking and intelligent coach within the corridors of Hampden, Sbragia’s quotes on Harper hint at something else. For McClair, a cerebral former Manchester United colleague of Sbragia’s, the Harper conundrum represents an early test of his diplomatic skills. Scotland boss Gordon Strachan – no giant himself – washed his hands of the matter on Tuesday, saying: ‘I’m

Jonny Evans starts a six-match ban for spitting on Monday night even though the Manchester United defender continues to protest his innocence. Evans would have played in Monday evening’s FA Cup quarter-final against Arsenal but he will also miss the semi-final in April should United win. A disciplinary panel ruled that Evans and Newcastle rival Papiss Cisse had spat at each other in an incident missed by referee Anthony Taylor. Jonny Evans appears to launch spit in the direction of the Newcastle United striker, who then retaliates . Evans and Papiss Cisse clash near the half-way line at St James' Park following the unpleasant exchange . Manchester United defender Evans received a six-match ban from the FA after the ugly incident . Tempers threatened to boil over as team-mates from Newcastle and United gathered following the incident . Arsenal (h) Monday night, FA Cup*; . Tottenham (h) March 15 . Liverpool (a) March 22 . Aston Villa (h) April 4 . Man City (h) April 12 . Chelsea (a) April 18 (*Possible replay or FA Cup semi-final could mean he is available for the Chelsea game) Cisse admitted the offence and apologised but Evans insisted he had not done anything wrong. The FA disagreed and, in a statement, said: ‘Mr Evans denied the charge but it was found proven.’ The incident, during United’s 1-0 win at St James’ Park on Wednesday, was not seen by referee Taylor or his assistants, but was caught on TV. A three-man panel of former referees reviewed the footage last Thursday and agreed the players should have been sent off, prompting the FA to bring a charge. An independent regulatory commission heard the charge and decided both players should be banned. Cisse, 29, pleaded guilty and issued an apology for his part in the incident. He was suspended for an extra game as he was banned in December for elbowing Everton’s Seamus Coleman. By contrast, Evans, 27, had denied the charge on Thursday, saying: ‘I would like to make it clear that I did not spit at Papiss Cisse.’ There is no right of appeal so Evans will not be able to contest the decision by the three-man panel .

Leaks by the US traitor Edward Snowden have ‘damaged’ intelligence agencies across the world and drained vital resources from MI5, MI6 and GCHQ, Theresa May warned last night. The Home Secretary made a scathing attack on the harm caused by the fugitive – who stole 1.7 million top-secret documents from America’s National Security Agency and GCHQ. The secret techniques revealed by the subsequent leaks to the Guardian newspaper have made it easier for terrorists, jihadis and organised criminals to avoid detection. Leaks by the US traitor Edward Snowden (pictured) have ‘damaged’ intelligence agencies across the world Theresa May has warned . Last night, it emerged vital safe houses had also been lost. Security officials have had to abandon buildings used to house top-secret sources for fear they have been compromised – at huge cost to the British taxpayer. In evidence to MPs, Home Secretary Mrs May said: ‘I assess and so does the director general of MI5 that the Snowden leaks did cause damage. ‘It has had an impact on the ability of our agencies to do the work they need to do. It would be fair to say it has had an impact not just on agencies in the UK. ‘If work has been done to try to mitigate the impact, that uses resources’. Tory MP Michael Ellis, a member of the home affairs select committee, said: ‘It is clear to me the damage Snowden has done is monumental. ‘Not only has he jeopardised national security by his leaks, but he has also put people at risk and it is clear that he has also caused considerable financial loss.’ It came amid new revelations about the extent to which British extremists are attempting to travel to Syria to join Islamic State. Mrs May said that - in the few weeks since the law was changed – five suspected jihadis had been subjected to a new power allowing for the seizure of their passports. Police are now assessing whether the extremists can be charged with any criminal offences. Security officials say IS has seized on the Snowden leaks and has passed on information to its operatives – making it harder to track them down. The Home Secretary (pictured) made a scathing attack on the harm caused by the fugitive – who stole 1.7 million top-secret documents from America’s National Security Agency and GCHQ . Al Qaeda is also known to have pounced on the leaks. The terror group’s senior operatives have changed the way they communicate to avoid detection. They have also produced a video tape handed to extremists, passing on tips. The chilling seven-and-a-half minute video – which includes news footage of Snowden’s massive security breach – provides detailed graphics on how extremists can avoid being trapped by ‘FBI Secret Spying technology’ when communicating. It also claims to identify technology companies who are co-operating with the UK and other countries so they can be avoided. There is a list of software packages which can be used to try to thwart GCHQ and the intelligence agencies. At the same time, GCHQ has

A babysitter sexually assaulted an 11-month-old child before sending photographs of the assault to her boyfriend, according to authorities. Ashley Virginia Dack, 29, and Patrick Schuneman, 37, were arrested last week after another friend, whom Dack had told about the assaults, went to the Harris County Sheriff's Office in Texas. The friend took text messages from Dack's phone after she asked him to charge it for her and when he went to authorities last October, they executed search warrants on the couple's homes. After seizing an iPhone from one of the homes they discovered horrifying messages, investigators said, according to Click2Houston. Arrested: Ashley Virginia Dack, left, and her boyfriend Patrick Schuneman, right, allegedly sexually abused children and sent each other text messages plotting or describing the attacks, investigators said . In one exchange on August 30, 2012, Dack described 'a little girl at lunch with blonde pig tails' and said she wished he had been waiting in the car so she could bring him the child. 'Would love that,' he responded. Dack allegedly then detailed how they would hold the girl down, saying: 'No one could hear her if we were in my car.' In another text message in 2013, Dack sent her boyfriend an image showing her inappropriately touching an 11-month-old child, to which Schuneman responded: 'Incredible... Thank you.' Investigators found the mother of the child and learned that Dack had been looking after the 11-month-old the same day the pictures and texts were sent, Click2Houston reported. She and Schuneman conspired to sexually abuse children and photograph their exploits for their sexual gratification, investigators said. The couple has now been charged with super aggravated sexual assault of a child and sexual performance by a child under the age of 14. Dack is being held on a $350,000 bond, while the court declined bond for Schuneman.

Summary: WARNING: GRAPHIC DETAILS . Ashley Dack 'sent her boyfriend Patrick Schuneman photos of her sexually assaulting a child and detailing how they would attack more' Investigators say after she sent him an image showing her assaulting an 11-month-old child, he responded: 'Incredible... Thank you' The sick plot was caught after Dack told another friend about the messages and he copied her texts and went to authorities .


MPs and peers may have to abandon the Houses of Parliament within 20 years unless a multi-billion renovation is given the go ahead, the Commons Speaker John Bercow has warned. Mr Bercow said a 'not inconsequential sum of public money' was needed to keep the Palace of Westminster 'fit for purpose'. He said it would be a 'huge pity' to have to leave the Commons and Lords, but experts have warned up to £3billion of repairs to the crumbling building are needed. John Bercow said a 'not inconsequential sum of public money' was needed to keep the Palace of Westminster 'fit for purpose' Among the problems are leaking roofs and pipes, ancient electrics and plumbing, asbestos, subsidence, badly-damaged stonework and fire risks. Speaking in Westminster Mr Bercow said: 'This is a fabulous institution located in awesome surroundings. It must not have the ethos of a museum. 'It will require bold and imaginative managerial leadership to ensure that we are a Parliament fit for purpose and that this Victorian legacy can be rendered practical for contemporary representation.' Referring to the blaze that burned down the old palace of Westminster in 1834, Mr Bercow said: 'It would be a huge pity if we decided that by the time we had reached the 200th anniversary of the vast fire which consumed the old parliament and brought this one in to being, we had to abandon this site and look elsewhere in order to serve the public interest properly.' He added: 'Yet I will tell you in all candour that unless management of the very highest quality and a not inconsequential sum of public money are deployed on this estate over the next 10 years, that will be the outcome.' The cost of repairing the Houses of Parliament could top £3billion, an examination of options for renovating the historic building has suggested.

Among the problems are leaking roofs and pipes, ancient electrics and plumbing, asbestos, subsidence, badly-damaged stonework and fire risks . The cost of repairing the Houses of Parliament could top £3billion, an examination of options for renovating the historic building has suggested . Here is just some of the work that needs to be done to the Houses of Parliament to prevent a ‘looming crisis’: . ASBESTOS . The walls and floors are infested with the dangerous substance - putting all occupants of the Palace at risk. ELECTRICS . Much of the building needs re-wiring, and generators do not produce enough power . VENTILATION . Many original shafts are filled with wires, and a major failure of the ventilation system is judged to be inevitable. HEATING . Many boilers date from the 1930s, pipes are clogged with limescale and are in danger of fracturing – causing dangerous steam leaks which could close the Commons chamber for months . FLOODING . Faulty guttering and broken pipes cause regular flooding, and the Big Ben belfry is particularly badly affected by water penetration.

Juventus have revived their interest in Chelsea midfielder Oscar. Scouts from the Italian league leaders were present in Paris on Thursday night specifically to watch the Brazilian against France. The 23-year-old scored in Brazil's 3-1 win and Juventus are weighing up an offer for the summer. Liverpool also have an interest but that deal would prove difficult.

Marouane Fellaini has endured a lot since swapping Merseyside for Manchester. Derided as a symbol of the David Moyes regime, ridiculed by his own fans and, lately, held responsible for Louis van Gaal’s occasional lurch towards route-one football, the big Belgian has had more weighing on his shoulders than that trademark mass of curly hair. So the standing ovation he received from the majority of Manchester United supporters when he came off against Tottenham at Old Trafford last weekend will have been music to his ears. Marouane Fellaini fires Manchester United into the lead against Spurs, a reminder of his footballing ability . The Belgian trains ahead of United's crucial clash with Liverpool on Sunday, where he is sure to be involved . Fellaini has grown from a bit-part player last season to become a vital member of Louis van Gaal's squad . A well-taken opening goal with his left foot served as a reminder that Fellaini’s attributes are not just sandwiched between his chest and his head. There are those who will never accept that he is a true United player, who believe his very presence encourages United to play other than the United way. But as he prepares to make his first appearance on Merseyside since moving from Everton when Van Gaal’s side take on Liverpool on Sunday, the 6ft 4in midfielder has every right to feel that things are looking up. The £27.5million white elephant of Old Trafford has been reinvented as United’s not-so-secret weapon. The advanced role that Van Gaal has given to Fellaini led Sam Allardyce, of all people, to label his opponents ‘Long Ball United’ after the 27-year-old’s introduction off the bench helped salvage a 1-1 draw at West Ham last month. Fellaini starred in the 3-0 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford in December, and offers Van Gaal an alternative . Wayne Rooney celebrates with the big Belgian, who has scored five times for United this season . Fellaini was tainted, somewhat unfairly, by being the only signing made during David Moyes' summer in charge . Van Gaal doesn’t care. ‘Fellaini is a player that, when we cannot beat the pressure with quality, we can always beat with pressure — that is a quality,’ says the Dutchman. The transition from defensive midfielder, who first impressed Moyes playing for Standard Liege against Liverpool in the Champions League in 2008, to target man worked particularly well for Everton. But, unlike Van Gaal, Moyes did not feel comfortable deploying Fellaini in a similar role at Old Trafford, having drawn enough criticism merely for signing him when Cesc Fabregas was his priority in the summer of 2013. Disastrously, Fellaini ended up as United’s only signing and Moyes knew that he risked being accused of turning the Premier League champions into a poor imitation of Everton. The player was said to be ecstatic at signing for United, if a little overawed at the scale of the club. He struck up an immediate bond with fellow Belgian Adnan Januzaj and, later, Juan Mata, when the Spaniard joined the following January. By

Summary: Marouane Fellaini endured a torrid season after joining Manchester United . David Moyes failed to get the best out of the former Everton midfielder . But Louis van Gaal has no qualms about using Belgian in advanced role . Fellaini has become Van Gaal's battering ram against tough opponents . CLICK HERE for all the latest Manchester United news .


Lionel Messi left Pep Guardiola applauding in the Nou Camp stands, the football world entertained and James Milner on the turf on Wednesday night as he pulled off a stunning nutmeg on the unfortunate Manchester City midfielder. The Barcelona superstar made a habit of performing the skill during his side's 1-0 Champions League win, mesmerising both the 92,000 crowd and City players including Brazilian Fernandinho. After Messi's breathtaking display, Sportsmail traces the origins of nutmegging and counts down 10 of the best of all time.

Milner is left on his backside as Messi runs away from the England international with the ball . What is a nutmeg? A nutmeg is the technique of rolling the ball between an opponent's legs, and gains extra acclaim when the attacking player retains possession after performing the trick. Where does the word come from? The origins of the word have long been debated, with the most popular theory being that nutmegs are slang for a rather private area of the male anatomy — a notion put forward by Countdown star Susie Dent, of Dictionary Corner, who on Wednesday night tweeted: 'Nutmegging in football comes from the centuries-old slang 'nutmegs', meaning 'testicles'. In case Messi is ever interested.' However, the use of the word nutmeg to mean leg in Cockney rhyming slang has also been put forward as an explanation, while another claim is that it comes from the practice used in nutmeg exports between America and England in the 18th century, when nutmegs were such a valuable commodity that unscrupulous exporters used to mix wooden replicas into the sacks being shipped across the Atlantic.

Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Spring 2015 Collection . Buy looks from the designer at ShopBop.com . Visit site . Scarlett Johansson looked fashion forward and super cool in her Spring 2015 Preen by Thornton Bregazzi little black dress. Her take on the closet classic had a surprising twist with a beaded fringe that felt like a flapper girl's dream. The fringe detail gave the dress movement, making Scarlett's sheath seem fun and effervescent. The actress kept the focus on her bold choice of apparel by keeping the rest of her styling to a minimum. She paired her Preen dress with some simple black pumps and stayed jewelry and accessory free. Her swept back pompadour-inspired hair mimicked her youthful and effortless elegance. The overall effect was decidedly grown up and dressy, but with a laid back insouciant vibe. Scarlett's time spent living in Pairs is clearly rubbing off on her sense of style, shifting her aesthetic towards a more sophisticated, yet whimsical taste. Her Preen dress is not yet available in stores, but it will come with an equally A-list price tag. Considering what a big trend fringe was on the Spring runways, finding an alternate take on this dress should come easily.

Scarlett says it can be difficult 'trying to find time to go to the gym'. But once she's there, the 30-year-old buckles down. 'I do the same fitness routine as my big muscle-man trainer,' she says. 'A lot of it is endurance, stability and strength training. 'I like to work up a sweat. I've tried Pilates and yoga and all that, and I like to dabble in different things. But I always come back to a good old-fashioned athletic, full-body workout.' What to try: The knee drive with weights. Stand with a dumbbell or bottle of water in each hand, palms facing inwards. Make sure your feet are positioned underneath your hipbones and are facing forwards. Putting your weight on your left leg, bring your right knee up to chest level. Swing the right leg back behind the body into a lunge position, placing the foot on the floor. Then immediately drive the knee forward to chest level again. Keep the weights at your sides as you do this. Repeat 12 to 15 times before switching sides.

Brendan Rodgers was left to bemoan a series of penalty decisions which went against Liverpool as they were held to a 0-0 FA Cup quarter-final draw by Blackburn. The Reds boss felt his side could have been awarded two spot-kicks in a keenly-contested tie at Anfield in which the Championship side defended tigerishly to secure a replay at Ewood Park. Rodgers told BT Sport after the game: 'They defended very, very well and when you have that many bodies behind the ball - and they were very brave, got blocks in - and I thought we should have had a penalty. Brendan Rodgers looks on frustrated during Liverpool's goalless clash with Blackburn on Sunday . Rodgers (middle) and counterpart Gary Bowyer greet the crowd ahead of the FA Cup clash at Anfield . The Reds boss had cause for concern after defender Martin Skrtel was taken off on a stretcher early on . Kolo Toure (left) hit the back of the net for the Reds in the first half but his strike was ruled out for offside . 'In games like this sometimes in that opening 20 minutes, if you can get the first goal, it opens the game up. 'Adam Lallana's one looked a clear penalty. The defender is recovering back in, but he's on the wrong side and he can't get to the ball, so for me, that was a penalty. 'You could argue when [Rudy] Gestede handballs it off the header from the free-kick, we could have had another penalty, and sometimes you need that little bit of luck. 'They have got some good players - Gestede gives you a problem up front - but I thought in the main, we dealt with that really, really well. 'I thought maybe the sharpness was just missing from our game and that wee bit of incision. But credit to the players, they kept a clean sheet and the objective was to be in the hat for the next round by the end of the evening, and that's what we are in.'

You have got to be tight to him. You give him a yard and he's got that shot with no back-lift. Maybe when I did give him that yard, he has got the shot off. 'You have got to be tight to these players and that's what I was.' Things might have been worse for Liverpool

Posing with an AK47 assault rifle over each shoulder, this British student has been named as a 'senior Islamic State commander' responsible for recruiting hundreds of his countrymen. Nicknamed 'al-Britani Afro' because of his hairstyle, rapper Raphael Hostey, 22, has allegedly been instrumental in luring Britons to become fighters or jihadi brides in Syria. The news came as a shock to his neighbours, who remembered him as an innocent-looking 12-year-old boy obsessed with Manchester United. Menacing: A masked Raphael Hostey, 22, brandishes AK47s in a photo on Twitter while wearing a floppy hat . Fresh faced: Hostey was remembered by his neighbours in Moss Side, Manchester, as an innocent boy . Just a few years later he would shun his British upbringing and leave his wife and child to join IS. Posting raps about jihad on Twitter, he has urged young women considering joining IS to 'come as soon as possible'. Hostey's identity was revealed by an alleged Syrian double agent arrested in Turkey, who was involved in recruiting the three teenage girls from east London who flew to Syria last month. Hostey left behind a wife and child to travel to the country in 2013 with two friends, Mohammed Javeed and Khalil Raoufi, both 20. All three were students at Liverpool John Moores University. Javeed and Raoufi are thought to have died in fighting. Hostey, from Moss Side in Manchester, is known among jihadis for his afro hairdo. Under the name Abu Qaqa, he is thought to have used social media to lure many more British recruits to IS, including jihadi brides. In raps posted on Twitter, he has urged video game-loving followers to stop playing 'Call of Duty and Fifa' and come 'to the khalifa' (or head of a Muslim state). He also posed wearing a floppy fisherman's hat with his face covered and assault rifles on each shoulder. Commander: Under the name Abu Qaqa, he is thought to have used social media to lure British recruits to IS . Football fan: Hostey was remembered as a 12-year-old boy who was obsessed by Manchester United . Since travelling to Syria, he is believed to have risen to the rank of senior commander. Hostey was injured in fighting but has not come home and still brags of his exploits on social media sites. On Tumblr he told 'a sister in London' to contact him privately when she asked for advice on life under IS. Born Raphel Saiho Hostey, he preferred to be known by the more anglicised name Raphael. Yesterday, neighbours said he 'loved playing football with other local lads'. They also revealed his family home was raided by police in September, with officers searching it for days. Siful Khan, 27, who lived opposite the red-brick semi for 15 years, said he was 'shocked' to hear about Hostey's alleged activities, adding: 'He used to wear a Manchester United shirt. He loved them.'

Dramatic CCTV footage has captured the moment ram raiders steal a £120,000 vintage racing car from a showroom - and are gone in 60 seconds. The gang were filmed smashing through the showroom window in a Land Rover Defender before using chains to frantically attach the classic Ford Escort Mexico to their 4x4. One thief is seen getting behind the wheel of the stolen car before the raiders speed off with the vehicle in tow. Smash and grab: The raiders reverse through the showroom window in their Land Rover Defender, sending the cracked pane of glass hurtling across the floor . The stolen car, a blue Mk1 1972 Ford Escort Mexico, was taken from the Trackspeed Classic car showroom in Portsmouth Road, Ripley, Surrey. The vehicle has the number 27 on its side and the registration plate DAD 422K. Its owner, Mark McCracken, had been storing the vehicle at the showroom and says it was his 'pride and joy'. The 46-year-old said: 'It is the jewel in the crown of my collection. I fear it will be cut down and sold for parts - the body alone is worth £80,000 and the engine £40,000.' Frantic: Two of the gang jump out of the 4x4 and go to work, one attaching chains to the Ford Escort Mexico while the other gets behind the wheel of the classic car . Escape: Dramatic footage shows the classic blue car being towed out of the showroom in Surrey . Footage of the 'audacious' raid was released by police who are hoping the video will help them track down the gang. Detective Sergeant Adam Tatton, of Surrey Police, said: 'The footage released demonstrates the audacity of this crime and how it was clearly meticulously planned. 'I am hoping anyone who has any information which could help with the investigation will be mindful to contact officers as soon as possible and help us piece together exactly what has happened to this distinctive vehicle.' Police are investigating whether a Land Rover Defender found burnt out in West Horsley was involved in Tuesday night's ram raid. Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey Police on 101, or the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Crime scene: The Ford Escort Mexico was stolen from Trackspeed Classic car showroom in Ripley, Surrey . In May 1970 Ford entered a team of seven Escorts fitted with Kent engines into the World Cup Rally that ended in Mexico. The team swept the board and came away with 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th positions - and the victory provided Ford with the ideal opportunity to launch a new production car from their UK plant. In honour of the rally car triumph, they named this special edition road version the Escort Mexico. The car has a maximum speed of just 100mph and does 0-60mph in 10.7 seconds. Classic: The car's name came about following Ford's successful ventures in the 1970

Carved into the sandstone Gheralta mountains up to 1,600 years ago, this is an extraordinary network of Ethiopian cave churches. The network of Christian places of worship was carved into the rock in Tigray between the 5th and 15th centuries and painted with frescoes. The Abune Yemata Guh church, which sits 2,500ft above ground, is said to have been carved out by an Egyptian priest who walked all the way there. Mariam Korkor church: This is one of the extraordinary Christian places of worship carved into the sandstone Gheralta mountains in Ethiopia . Journey: Anyone visiting the Abune Yemata Guh church must make their way along narrow ledges and cross a rickety makeshift bridge . Historic: The mountains where the Abune Yemata Guh church is located, 2,500ft above ground level - and carved out by an Egyptian priest . Father Yemata’s journey established a church which the congregation can now only reach by scaling a 19ft-high rock wall without ropes or harnesses. Anyone wanting to pay a visit nowadays must also make their way along narrow ledges and cross a rickety makeshift bridge. But families have brought their newborn babies there to be baptised, while corpses have been carried up to be buried on the mountain. Some of the priests at the church - which was virtually unknown to the public until the Sixties - are said to have been up there for 40 years. Interior design: The stunning frescoes inside the Abune Yemata Guh church remain extremely well preserved thanks to their remote location . It is not known why Father Yemata established the church - with theories suggesting he wanted to pray alone in the clouds, or even escape raiders. The stunning frescoes inside the churches remain extremely well preserved thanks to them being hidden in such an inaccessible place of worship. Also featured in the images taken by photographer Olivier Grunewald are the churches of Abune Abraham, Mariam Korkor and Abune Michael Kebe. The mountains are located about 500 miles north of Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, and are around 60 miles south of the border with Eritrea.

A father who believed he had the right to smack his young children has had them taken into care by social workers. The parent, from Rotherham, told officials that he thought his children benefited from being smacked. He said that he hit his children on the bottom, legs and arms, using his hand, but that the red marks 'did not last long'. But a judge has now ruled that his 'entrenched' views were harmful to their children. A father who believed he had the right to smack his two young children has had them taken into care by social workers following a ruling at the High Court in London (pictured) The man has now had his third child, a six-month-old girl, taken into care by Rotherham Council officials. It comes after his middle child, now aged three, was also taken into care. It is not clear whether the man's eldest child is in care, although there have also been care proceedings issued in relation to that child. Handing down the judgement at the High Court, Judge Sarah Wright said she made the decision because there was no prospect of the father ever changing his 'domineering behaviour'. She added that the children's mother could not protect the youngsters from her partner's need to have 'total control' over his family. She said: 'It was clear to me that she cannot separate herself from the father and from his entrenched views. 'Sadly, she has put him before her children. She refused to accept any view or opinion that is not his. The parent revealed that he smacked his children on the bottom, legs and arms, using his hand (picture posed by models) 'She singularly fails to appreciate the risk that he poses to any child in his care'. During the hearing, it emerged that the man's son, now aged three, had been removed from the family home when he was just a few months old. Since then, he has been cared for by his 'quiet, considered and thoughtful' maternal uncle. The judgement also revealed that care proceedings had taken place for another child, during which a family judge criticised the man's 'rigid and inflexible thinking'. The court said the man was not prepared to 'settle for a shade of grey', but saw everything in black and white. He also insisted on his right to smack his children, believing he had done 'nothing wrong', the judgement said. It added that both parents had been 'uncooperative and obstructive' with professionals. During the latest hearing, it emerged that, when the mother fell pregnant again, she tried to conceal her pregnancy so they would not flag up on social services' radar. Despite the mother arranging to give birth at a hospital in a different area, their attempt to conceal the birth failed. The little girl - known as E - was then taken from them under a police protection order. Explaining her reasons for concealing her pregnancy with E, the mother said she feared she would be put under pressure to have an abortion. She also insisted there was

Wasps will consider an appeal against the three-week ban handed to Nathan Hughes after their star No 8 was found guilty of recklessly kneeing George North and told he can’t play against Toulon. Hughes was shown a red card in Friday night’s Aviva Premiership clash with Northampton for an incident which saw North suffer his third confirmed concussion in less than four months, leading to calls for him not to play again this season. An RFU disciplinary panel upheld the red card shown to Hughes by referee Craig Maxwell-Keys and banned him until April 28, meaning he will miss Sunday’s European Champions Cup quarter final clash with the two-time champions. Nathan Hughes has been banned for three weeks and will miss Wasps' game against Toulon . George North was out cold on the pitch at Franklin's Gardens after scoring a try . Sir James Dingemans, chair of a three-man panel with Aidan O’Brien and Martyn Wood, said: ‘This was a three week ban on the basis that no intention was found. However, there was recklessness meaning that, notwithstanding the harm, it was a low entry point of four weeks with mitigation of one week to reflect his previous clean playing record.' Speaking before the hearing Wasps director of rugby Dai Young made it clear he did not believe his star forward should be punished further and indicated he would appeal any ban. ‘I don’t think it was a red card,’ said Young. ‘The sending off certainly penalised us enough on the night. If there is a ban we can appeal it. If there’s a ban we’ll have to sit down and decide what to do with Nathan because he needs to be part of the process.’ It is understood any appeal would be heard before Sunday’s clash, meaning Hughes could yet feature. The incident left North concussed in the act of scoring his second try of the match and has led to calls for the Wales and Northampton winger to be rested for the rest of the season over fears for his long-term welfare. North was knocked out again and was forced off after a clash with Hughes during Saints' win over Wasps . North was unable to continue and has been advised not to play again until the World Cup in September . Hughes was understood to be distraught after the game and sought North out to apologise. ‘I know Nathan,’ said Wasps club captain James Haskell. ‘I don’t think he meant to do it. I think anyone knows he didn’t mean to do it. I don’t think it should have been a red card at all. I think he tried to slow down, he catches George but it is a contact sport. ‘That is what happens. I think they have changed the wording now to say something about being reckless but rugby is reckless. The whole game is reckless. If you are worried about that, I don’t really know what we should be doing. ‘Maybe we should all just wear foam suits and just play touch.’ Young said after the

Summary: Wasps will consider an appeal against the three-week ban handed to Nathan Hughes . Hughes was shown a red card for an incident which saw North suffer his third confirmed concussion in less than four months . An RFU disciplinary panel upheld the red card shown to Hughes by referee Craig Maxwell-Keys and banned him until April 28 .


A middle-aged accounts manager claims he was forced by a female boss to dress up as Father Christmas while working at Dow Jones because he was older than everyone else (stock picture) A middle-aged accounts manager claims he was forced by a female boss to dress up as Father Christmas while working at Dow Jones because he was older than everyone else. James McClellan, 53, claims he was forced out of the company because of sexism and ageism at the hands of a younger female manager. He is now suing the financial news and publishing giant claiming he was sidelined as an accounts payable manager for the company in London, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch. In documents lodged at the Central London Employment Tribunal, the father-of-three from Maidstone in Kent, said he was painted as a 'misogynist' and told by his manager Azmina Airi that he underestimated 'the girls'. But he insists he was just raising 'grave concerns' his team was being overstretched, and said he was made to feel singled out by Ms Airi. In the statement he said: 'At our first meeting she informed me that she had been observing me and was of the view that I was 'rigid and stuck in my ways'. 'I found this offensive suggesting that she was judging me on the basis of my age and her pre-conception of how set in their ways a middle aged person is. 'At Christmas 2013 she demanded that I dress up as the secret Santa. I was given no option and again felt that I was being discriminated against on the basis of age. I found the experience uncomfortable.' He added: 'She selected me because I was the 'nice old buffer' everyone liked. I would be happy to suffer the embarrassment.' Mr McClellan began working at Dow Jones in May 2011 to manage accounts payable. In documents lodged at the Central London Employment Tribunal James McClellan, said he was painted as a 'misogynist' and told by his manager Azmina Airi that he underestimated 'the girls' In October 2013 Ms Airi joined the team and became his manager, overseeing the roll-out of a new payroll system. But Mr McClellan raised concerns the team could not cope with the new demands being placed on them. He said: 'The team were at their very limits and subjected to, what I considered, dangerously high levels of stress. I was concerned for the welfare of my team.' He said the team had to take on pension administration responsibilities, but he felt they 'did not have the capacity training or skills to take this on at this time' He is now suing the financial news and publishing giant claiming he was sidelined as an accounts payable manager for the company, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch . He said: 'I raised this with her and asked her to defer these incremental changes until the project was ended and there would be more time to get this done properly. 'She flatly refused stating that I was being deliberately uncooperative and that I underestimated

Summary: James McClellan 'was forced out of Dow Jones by sexism and ageism' Claims he was painted as a 'misogynist' and by his female manager . Said he was also made out to be a 'nice old buffer' by Azmina Airi . Mr McClellan is now suing thefinancial news and publishing giant .


Summer music festivals are an optimum setting for comradery: warm weather, vast crowds and internationally acclaimed music. This recipe is perfectly embodied in an heartwarming video uploaded this week, showing revellers in a mosh pit hoisting a wheelchair bound punter above the crowd for a better view of the stage. The vision, which comes from Brisbane Future Music Festival on Saturday, shows the elated reveller fist pumping and waving to those around him as upbeat dance music plays from the main stage. The crowd inside Future Music Bribane lifts up the wheelchair-bound reveller so he can see the stage . The man is then cautiously lowered down, clearly overjoyed with his elevated experience. Future Music held the Queensland leg of the tour in Doomben Racecourse, 7 kilometres north of the Brisbane central business district. The event boasted an all-star international line-up, including the likes of Drake, Prodigy and Avici. On Friday Queensland police seized 7,500 ecstasy pills believed to be heading for the Brisbane event as part of anti-bikie raids. Police charged 17 people with 110 offences. The pills had an estimated value of $500,000. The elated reveller can be seen fist pumping and waving to the crowd around him as upbeat dance music plays from the main stage .

Phil Parkinson may have snubbed Jose Mourinho’s offer of a handshake before the final whistle sounded on Bradford City’s shock FA Cup win over Chelsea, but the 47-year-old will gladly borrow some of The Special One’s tricks as he tries to guide the League One club to Wembley again. Parkinson faces Reading – where he spent 11 years as a player – at Valley Parade on Saturday knowing that another upset would see Bradford return to the national stadium in the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time in more than a century. Remarkably, he has already taken Bradford there twice in the Capital One Cup final and League Two Playoff final in 2013. Bradford boss Phil Parksinon (centre left) rebuffed Jose Mourinho's (right) handshake during their FA Cup tie . Parkinson did not want to be distracted by Mourinho’s premature offer of congratulations when Bradford came from behind to record a stunning 4-2 win at Stamford Bridge in January, before going on to take another Premier League scalp in Sunderland in the fifth round. But the Bradford manager cannot help but admire the Chelsea manager’s win-at-all-costs mentality compared with some managers (look away Louis van Gaal) who are obsessed with imposing their ‘philosophy’ on a club. ‘I like the fact that he will do whatever it takes to win,’ said Parkinson. ‘We are in an era of managers who sometimes their own philosophy gets in the way of what’s the most important thing to win each individual game. Phil Parkinson believes the big teams in the Premier League are jealous of Bradford . Chelsea were beaten 4-2 by League One outfit Bradford during the fourth round back in January . ‘Mourinho sets up his team to win. The Capital One Cup final (against Tottenham) was a good example of that. ‘For me, that’s what management is about. Not just saying “we’ve got good players, go and play”. It’s about what tweaks and adaptations are we going to make today to give us the best chance of winning? That’s why I like looking at what Mourinho does because he has great skill at that.’ It’s one reason why Parkinson is happy to let talk of the poor playing surface at Valley Parade carry on ahead of Reading’s visit. He believes that it got into the heads of Sunderland’s players in the last round and contributed to Bradford’s 2-0 win. ‘I think more was made of the pitch for the Sunderland game,’ he added. ‘By the time their lads came to the game it was probably a bigger thing than it actually it was. We’d had a dry week and it wasn’t too bad. ‘If you look around, a lot of pitches are not in a great state at the moment and we’ve got some good technical players. ‘We’ve found that rather than saying “God, I just need big strong physical players on the pitch”, you need technical players that can handle the bad pitch and we’ve tried to get our best technical team out there.’ Filipe Morais, pictured after scoring

Summary: Parkinson snubbed Mourinho's offer of a handshake before final whistle . Bradford take on Reading in FA Cup for a semi-final place at Wembley . Parkinson has already guided Bradford twice to the national stadium .


Diary: The new guidance from NICE suggests keeping a diary of everything you eat to help keep those extra pounds off . They are pastimes that millions of us do every week to keep relatively fit and healthy. Dancing, gardening and walking up hills are all well-known as simple exercises that would help to fight the flab. But the health watchdog NICE believes we should be given official guidance to remind those who don’t bother - and that we should keep a daily diary alongside details of meals, snacks and drinks. The watchdog warns to pay particular attention to lattes, high protein drinks, nuts and alcohol which contain hidden calories they may not realise they have consumed. It is estimated that a quarter of adults in the UK are obese although this is projected to increase to almost two thirds by 2050. The condition is thought to cost the health service and economy £16 billion a year through medical treatment, sick days and benefits. Officials from NICE hope that encouraging adults to ‘self-monitor’ their activity and food intake will prompt them to adopt healthier lifestyles. They are particularly concerned that the emergence of a ‘coffee culture’ in recent years has led to Britons consuming calorie-laden lattes and muffins on top of their meals and snacks. Guidance also points out that many adults who do exercise underdo the good work immediately afterwards by ‘refuelling’ on high sugar sports drinks and protein shakes. Additionally, the watchdog instructs parents to avoid giving children sweets at weekends, the school holidays or even for good behaviour. Even in small amounts, they can ‘disrupt’ everyday healthy eating habits and lead to obesity, they state. Scroll down for video . They also encourage parents to ensure children get at least nine to ten hours sleep a night as staying up late is linked to being overweight. Other recommendations include urging adults not to drink too much alcohol as this also contains high numbers of hidden calories. It points out that even if a woman sticks within the recommended safe limits of 2 to 3 units a day – a large glass of wine – this contains as many calories as Mars bar. Don't undo good work at the gym by drinking protein shakes or high sugar sports drinks afterwards. Avoid calorific coffees like lattes – and the muffins and cakes that come with them. Remember nuts and alcohol have 'hidden calories'. Don't allow children more than two hours of 'screen time' a day – which includes watching TV or playing handheld video games. Have 'TV-free' days and go on a walk or cycle-ride instead. Source: NICE guidance . Professor Gillian Leng, Deputy Chief Executive at NICE, said: ‘Overweight and obesity is an enormous concern for the health service in England, it has a huge personal health cost to the individual and the financial impact of dealing with obesity and its associated conditions and its associated conditions is creating a significant burden on the NHS. ‘A significant amount of effort is needed to lose weight and keep it off. This

Summary: Health watchdog NICE advises keeping a diary of every morsel consumed . Warns recent addition of calorie-laden lattes is adding to obesity epidemic . Suggests limiting children's 'screen time' to just two hours a day . Hopes advice will cut the numbers of overweight people in the UK .


'What Do Women Want' is such a common question that it inspired a Hollywood movie starring Mel Gibson. And the feminist writer Julie Burchill reckons that female sexuality has been suppressed and controlled for so long that they no longer have any idea what they want. In an article for the new issue of Loaded magazine, the columnist details the hypocrisies and strict demands that modern women demand of their boyfriends and husbands. Scroll down for video . Julie Burchill (pictured) believes that many women are unsure of what they want from a man because they have been controlled for so long . Julie told the publication: 'What [men] generally fear is women will want them for the wrong things. 'It’s women who are thought to be the soppy sex, but they are capable of great hard-headedness in matters of what is laughably known as The Heart.' She continued: 'Most women want a man who makes them laugh, sadly, they often don’t see this goes two ways and men need to have fun as much as they do. 'Some women want a man to tick all the boxes – handsome, rich, great job – but would be outraged if men subjected them to a similar shopping list.' Julie Burchill points out that some women claim to be too tired to have sex, but have enough energy to go out drinking with their friends (Picture posed by models) Ms Burchill, who is an ardent supporter of the female sex, revealed to the publication that one thing some women most definitely do not want is sex. She said: 'I know from personal experience that women tend to become sexually impervious to their husbands far more often and earlier than husbands do to their wives, . 'You’d think if a woman wanted to relax, or have a nice bit of Me Time, she could easily opt for a good old roll-around. 'But a lot of women aren’t interested in sex without making it into a huge performance number – they want romance.' In many relationships, women lose interest in sex much quicker than the man (Picture posed by models) She continued: 'We’ve all heard about those broads in relationships who mysteriously stop shagging their Significant Other, claiming they “haven’t got time for sex” and, “I’m too tired”. 'How come they’re never too tired to get trashed on rosé wine with their mates on a Friday night, go to the garden centre early on a Saturday morning and spend every weekday on Mumsnet?' She continued: 'Maybe sex wouldn’t take so long and be so tiring if they didn’t demand the Ring Cycle equivalent of romance first? ' The new issue of Loaded magazine . But the writer isn't taking a pop at women, in fact, far from it. She believes that the reason they are so conflicted in their desires is that they have been controlled as a sex for so long that their needs have desires have become muddled. She said: 'The way female sexuality has been corralled and controlled over the centuries would leave

Summary: Julie Burchill believes many women are unsure of what they want in a man . The feminist writer says it is because they have been controlled for so long .


A drawbridge, a prince charming and a medieval castle... It sounds like something from a Disney fairy tale, but this is surprisingly all available in Mount Crosby, Queensland (BYO prince charming).

Britain's First World War debt has finally be repaid in full – more than 100 years after the outbreak of the conflict. The Government repaid some £1.9billion still owed to more than 100,000 people who held 'War Bonds', issued in 1917 to help fund the military effort. George Osborne said he could pay off the debts because he can borrow the money cheaper elsewhere. More than 100 years after it started, the First World War debt has been paid off by the Coalition government . The Government was paying 3.5 per cent in interest to the 120,000 people who bought the bonds in 1917. The Debt Management Office estimates that Britain has paid some £5.5 billion in total interest on the loans since 1917. Current low interest rates mean the Government is able to pay off the debt with new bonds which pay a much lower rate of interest. Mr Osborne said: 'This is a moment for Britain to be proud of. We can, at last, pay off the debts Britain incurred to fight the First World War. 'It is a sign of our fiscal credibility and it's a good deal for this generation of taxpayers. It's also another fitting way to remember that extraordinary sacrifice of the past.' British artilleryman in action during the Battle of the Somme in France in 1916 . British soldiers negotiating a shell-cratered landscape along the River Somme in late after the close of the Allied offensive . The debt repayment comes after the Government repaid £218million of debts from the First World War in October – the first time that the government paid off the war's debts in 67 years. The Tories claim that Britain can borrow at such low interest rates because the Government has got a grip of the public finances and international investors know they will get their money back if they lend it to the UK. They claim the Labour Party's spending plans would see billons added to the national debt. Treasury Secretary David Gauke said: 'There is a clear choice at this election: sticking with the competence and stability of David Cameron and the Conservatives' long-term economic plan that's securing a better future for Britain – the deficit has been halved, there are 1.85 million more people with the security of a regular wage and the economy is recovering from Labour's Great Recession. British soldiers in a trench in France with paper hats from Christmas crackers while a sentry uses a mirror to keep watch on No Man's Land . 'Or abandoning that plan for the SNP and Labour with hardworking taxpayers paying the price for the economic chaos that would result.' The warning came after Labour's shadow chancellor Ed Balls claimed George Osborne's spending plans would mean £70billion of cuts – more than double the amount admitted by David Cameron and George Osborne. He said if the Tories were to keep to their promises to protect spending on health, schools and overseas aid, this would mean the Foreign Office and Department for Transport being shut down altogether. Mr Balls

Summary: Government repaid £1.9billion still owed to more than 100,000 people . Debts can be repaid because the cash can be borrowed cheaper elsewhere . Debt Management Office estimates thew UK has paid £5.5billion in interest .


Paul Scholes has once again defended former Manchester United team-mate Jonny Evans following his spitting incident with Newcastle's Papiss Cisse. The former England midfielder believes Evans spat towards the floor in a 'reflex action' after the Senegal striker kicked out at him during Wednesday night's match at St James' Park.

Scholes also defended Evans will working as a pundit on the match for BT Sport on Wednesday . Having leapt to the defence of Evans while working as a pundit during BT Sport's coverage of the match, Scholes has again backed the Northern Ireland defender. Scholes writes in his Independent column: 'I have watched the footage of Jonny Evans and Papiss Cisse's spitting incident and I come to the same conclusion that was my instinct the first time I saw the replay: I don't think Jonny ever intended to spit at Cisse. 'As Jonny gets up and takes a step backwards, he spits. At the time his eyes are fixed on Cisse... and that is what makes it look bad. But my instinct is that Jonny is spitting to the floor. 'It is a reflex. Footballers, athletes in all sorts of sports, have a tendency to spit in the periods of respite after action. You can do it without even thinking. 'I know that I did, as a player. On this occasion, I believes it was a reflex action from Jonny. Not one aimed at Cisse.' Evans could face a ban of six matches if found guilty by the Football Association. Papiss Cisse subsequently retaliates, and appears to aim spit of his own back at the Manchester United man .

Liverpool (a), April 13 . Tottenham (h), April 19 . Swansea (h), April 25 . Leicester (a), May 2 . Both Cisse and Evans released statements on Thursday in which they disagreed on the intent behind the disgusting scenes. Bizarrely, Evans claimed he was shocked by the allegations and protested his innocence. Cisse responded by apologising but said he was provoked when Evans spat at him. Indeed, Sportsmail understands that Cisse is furious that the Northern Ireland international has not admitted his guilt, and is adamant the defender spat at his leg. And Cisse will inform FA disciplinary chiefs that Evans intentionally spat at him when questioned about the incident. Cisse has been banned for seven games after accepting the charge from the FA on Thursday . This season, FA guidelines dictate that the punishment for spitting should be in line with FIFA's six game ban for the offence. Cisse

They reached the FA Cup quarter-final under the radar - escaping attention with victories over Huddersfield, Cardiff and Derby County in the early rounds. Next month a convey of cars and buses will make the 37-mile trip down the M4 to watch Steve Clarke’s team play the mighty Arsenal in an FA Cup semi-final. Reading are back on the map now. This was a brutal destruction by The Royals, as close as it comes to a complete tactical masterclass at this level of the game. They were ruthless against Bradford.

Who will remember that score now? ‘We sneaked in under the radar, but I’ll be more excited about an FA Cup semi-final nearer the time,’ revealed a dead-pan Clarke. It was hardly champagne popping stuff, but that is Clarke’s nature after a coaching career that has also taken him to Newcastle, Chelsea and West Brom. He left the celebrations to the fans. By the end this place was raucous, with jubilant Reading supporters spilling on to the pitch at the final whistle. A spine-tingling opening ten minutes had seen a goal from former Arsenal trainee Hal Robson-Kanu and another from winger Garath McCleary put Reading in command. Jamie Mackie’s strike in the 68th minute was reward for his endeavour, a fabulous finish after locking on to Nathaniel Chalobah’s delayed pass. By then Bradford were down to ten men, chasing shadows after Filipe Morais was sent off for raking his studs down the body of Chalobah. Silly boy. The sharpest minds were in Reading’s team, with the soothing voice of captain Alex Pearce at the back containing and nullifying the threat of Jon Stead and James Hanson. On a night like this you have to feel for Bradford’s fans, delayed in traffic for hours on the way to the Madejski

Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Amos has made six appearances on loan at Bolton . He said: 'Being a United fan, I’ve always believed I can play for Manchester United and always aspired to be a Manchester United player. 'Pre-season, I was told I was number two.

'Being 24, I can leave on a Bosman so that gives me a little bit more flexibility of where I can go. I'll assess the options in the summer, see what is about and see what the best thing for me is.

Before V. Stiviano's recordings toppled Donald Sterling from ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers, she boasted she would be the next Mrs. Sterling. She would pick up envelopes of cash in an alley behind the family's real estate company and told employees at the firm she would one day be their boss. Those predictions seemed like a fantasy on Wednesday as Sterling's wife went after the $3.6 million that she said the younger woman swindled from community property the couple amassed over 60 years of marriage. Scroll down for video . Court battle: 'She's been very, very nasty to me, and she's been mean to my husband': Shelly Sterling testified against V. Stiviano in the nonjury trial in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday . Donald Sterling told a judge on Wednesday that V. Stiviano befriended a Hispanic bank employee in order to get her name illegally added to a $1 million check . 'She defrauded him and I feel that she is not entitled to any of these gifts or whatever they call them,' Shelly Sterling testified. 'She's been very, very nasty to me, and she's been mean to my husband.' Stiviano, 32, will have her own chance to testify on Thursday in the nonjury trial in Los Angeles Superior Court as to why she should keep gifts that included a duplex, Ferrari, jewelry and designer clothes. The trial put the Sterlings and Stiviano together in the same room about a year after the recording of Donald Sterling telling Stiviano not to publicly associate with blacks culminated with his lifetime ban from the NBA and the record $2 billion sale of the team. Whether Stiviano was ever a girlfriend to the billionaire or mistress, as his wife contends, she was downgraded to 'ex-friend' when Donald Sterling took the stand. Donald Sterling, 80, who has been diagnosed with symptoms of Alzheimer's, was at times forgetful and testy. He said Stiviano hadn't contributed '50 cents' to the $1.8 million duplex now in her name. Donald Sterling, 80, said Stiviano, right, hadn't contributed '50 cents' to the $1.8 million duplex now in her name . Sterling, a lawyer and shrewd businessman who made a fortune buying apartment buildings across Los Angeles, never explained why he purchased the house, though he made it clear he paid every penny because he said Stiviano was poor and her family was on welfare. He said the house was supposed to be in the name of his family trust. Noting that Stiviano is part black and Hispanic, he said she illegally got her name inserted into escrow documents by befriending a Hispanic bank employee who added her name to a $1 million check. Stiviano's lawyer, Mac Nehoray, said Donald Sterling gave the gifts when he was separated from his wife and that no real community property was transferred to his client. Further, he said the law does not allow a spouse to seek that money from a third party. Sterling said he only intended to loan a Ferrari and a Bentley to Stiviano, but he put them under her

Summary: The Sterlings are demanding back items worth $3.6 million that they claim Stiviano swindled from them - including cars and a $1.8 million duplex . Donald accused Stiviano of befriending a Hispanic bank employee in order to get her name illegally added to a $1 million check . He said he only intended to loan her a Ferrari and a Bentley, but put them in her name so he wouldn't be liable if she killed somebody . Sterling's CFO testified that his boss appeared to be cutting checks for Stiviano and trying to make it hard for them to be traced . Other employees and friends of the millionaire told the court that Stiviano informed them she was going to be the next Mrs. Sterling .


As the Wembley clock ticked over into the 89th minute, the booming PA system kicked in and proclaimed that Danny Welbeck was England's man of the match. Sometimes the sponsors' choice is met with bewilderment, even derision. Not this time. The reaction was warm applause from all four corners of the stadium - universal acknowledgement and appreciation. Welbeck had been excellent, by some distance the stand-out player. Direct and deadly, this was Danny at his game-changing best. Who needs Harry Kane? Danny Welbeck leads the celebrations after putting England 2-0 ahead against Lithuania on Friday . Welbeck's header deflects into the back of the net to send England into a commanding lead . Welbeck is congratulated by England captain Wayne Rooney after scoring his sixth of the qualfying campaign . Welbeck's pitch map from the Lithuania match shows his influence right across the front line . Welbeck has scored eight goals in 29 appearances for Arsenal this season but has six in four qualifiers for England. On a productive night, Welbeck blasted in the shot that led to Wayne Rooney's opener, stooped to divert home England's second, had three other shots on goal and tormented the Lithuanian defence with his pace, power and passing. The goal augmented his international goal tally to 14 - drawing level with Paul Scholes - and he duly became the leading scorer in Euro 2016 qualifying with six goals, one ahead of Israel's Omar Damari. Welbeck's touch map showed his influence right across the field, switching places with Rooney and Raheem Sterling in a dynamic front three that linked up seamlessly throughout. The only dampener on the evening was the knee injury that will force him out of Tuesday night's friendly with Italy in Turin. Which all begs the question - why doesn't Welbeck play like this for Arsenal? Welbeck caused the Lithuanian defence problems all evening and justified his selection . Welbeck ran directly at the Lithuanian defence all evening in a positive performance . Welbeck is congratulated by former Manchester united team-mate Wayne Rooney after doubling the lead . Welbeck's touch map from the match with Lithuania shows his presence right across the attack . Pushed out to the wing to accommodate the in-form Olivier Giroud, Welbeck has all-too-often looked a spare part in Arsenal colours this season following his £16m move from Manchester United last September. The fact his England goal tally for the campaign is just two shy of his club return speaks volumes - perhaps Arsene Wenger should ask Roy Hodgson for advice on how to get the best out of the frontman. Because he looks a man transformed on international duty - while with Arsenal, the wide berth is regarded as something of a snub, inhibiting his performance. With England it somehow plays to his strengths. With the Three Lions on his chest, Welbeck is content and confident, raising his game to a level rarely seen for the Gunners. There he can be aloof, slow and ineffective. The memes that often go viral on Twitter portraying Welbeck as a World Cup

Summary: England beat Lithuania 4-0 in a Euro 2016 qualifier at Wembley on Friday . Danny Welbeck had a hand in the first goal and scored the second . He was named man of the match after a positive and confident display . Welbeck is the top goalscorer in Euro 2016 qualifying with six . Roy Hodgson has got the best out of a player often sluggish for Arsenal . Now Arsene Wenger must allow Welbeck to run directly at defences .
