As if running on the treadmill wasn't already hard enough work, a man has performed a dance routine on one. Choreographer Carson Dean has posted a video of himself performing a high-speed, energetic routine to Bruno Mars' catchy hit song, Uptown Funk. And to add to the talented feat, he doesn't lose his balance once or even appear to break into a sweat. Choreographer Carson Dean, starts his Uptown Funk routine with a series of turns on the treadmill . Throughout the dance, Dean, who is based in Los Angeles, California, carries out a series of jumps, spins, high-kicks and even a flip - all while maintaining his balance. The professional dancer, choreographer, singer and actor posted the short clip, lasting a minute and a half, on YouTube. It was supposedly intended to be a short workout video, with the caption alluding to the lyrics from the Bruno Mars song: 'The best cardio workout! Don't believe me just watch.' But it's unlikely that many non-professional dancers will be able to imitate his acrobatic 'cardio workout'. The routine starts off slowly with a Dean strolling to the beat on the treadmill, alternating between going backwards and forwards. His movement gets progressively more high-energy, eventually introducing nifty footwork and turns. The professional dancer/choreographer, actor and singer starts to use the arms of the treadmill to conduct a series of tricks . Dean moves on to more high-energy moves and high-kicks, all while remaining sweat-free . By the end of the video, Dean uses the arms of the treadmill to lift himself up and employ high leg-kicks. But by far the most impressive moment, is when the choreographer once again uses the support arms of the treadmill to curl up and do a small flip. The viral video has already racked up 2,658,243 views, as well as 18,549 likes, with viewers amazed at Dean's slick moves and cool composure. YouTube user, Kandee Johnson posted: 'This is craazy!!!!! Some people can barely get off of a treadmill without falling!' The most impressive part of the video is when the dancer uses his upper-body strength to employ a small flip on the moving treadmill .

Torquay United players earn £375 per week on average, according to manager Chris Hargreaves, meaning it would take them almost 16 years to match what Wayne Rooney makes in seven days. The Conference club's average figure is £104 below the UK's average weekly earnings of £479 and is in stark contrast to the Manchester United captain, who is among the best paid in the Barclays Premier League on a reported £300,000 per week. 'I'm giving a reason why sometimes we might not be up there with the big boys,' Hargreaves told BBC Radio Devon. 'The average wage on Saturday was £375.

The club sit 15th in the Conference, but were expected to make a push for a return to the Football League this year. But Barnet currently top the table and sit 28 points ahead of Torquay. 'The average age is very young, the average wage is very low, and those two things combined make it a challenge,' Hargreaves continued. 'We took criticism and it was in most quarters right, and we had to put it right. I'm pleased for those that have stuck with us, and with me, and we want to give them exciting performances.'

The wonderful Estadio Do Dragao has two huge gaps between the seats and the roof behind each goal. Porto have learned that it is useless to try and keep prying eyes out. Every summer, as the transfer window opens, the dragon's lair is raided. Giants from all over Europe come ashore at this Atlantic port with their treasure chests of booty, eager to snatch the latest talent off the conveyor belt. Jackson Martinez produced an outrageous back heel flick to set up Cristian Tello's first for Porto . The Colombian's audacious assist set Porto on course for a comfortable 3-0 win over Sporting Lisbon . The result closes the gap between Porto and current leaders Benfica to just four points .

Before that, Zenit St Petersburg swiped Hulk. Atletico Madrid made off with James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao. The list goes on. Left to pick up the pieces this season has been Julen Lopetegui Argote, a man who has coached Spain's Under 19s, 20s and 21s. It has not been easy. While a 1-1 draw at Basel put them in the box seat for the last eight of the Champions League, before kick-off here on a rainy, foggy night, the hated Benfica were almost out of sight in Primeira Liga. Seven points clear, anything other than victory over their third-placed Lisbon rivals Sporting would put Porto's domestic season in danger of ending in March. Not that Argote is criticised. A perceived establishment bias towards Benfica is bemoaned, with talk of a season blighted by refereeing injustices. Adrien Silva of Sporting Lisbon aims to bypass the challenge of Porto's Jackson Martinez on Sunday night . Tello, on loan from Barcelona, completed his hat-trick in the second-half to keep Porto close to Benfica . Inevitably, it was a man widely thought to be the next out of the door who unlocked Sporting's defence. There seemed to be little danger in a tight contest when the ball bounced towards Arsenal and Manchester United target Jackson Martinez just inside the opposition half on 31 minutes. The 28-year-old, with his back to goal, calmly chested it down before volleying an audacious backheel over his shoulder and over the retreating green and white wall. Barcelona loanee Cristian Tello was perhaps the only person in the stadium who saw it coming. He raced through a static defence, latched onto the flick and cooly slotted past Rui Patricio to

Summary: Jackson Martinez's audacious back heel set up Cristian Tello's first . The Barcelona forward added a brace after the break to secure the win . Porto stay four points behind Portuguese leaders Benfica .


Vanuatu faces imminent food shortages as accounts emerged of huge damage days after one of the fiercest cyclones on record hit landfall. Communications between many of Vanuatu's 80 islands, most only accessible by boat, were still down after Cyclone Pam swept through the region, and Prime Minister Joe Natuman said it would be at least a week before authorities had a better sense of the destruction. It comes as the parents of an 18-year-old Adelaide girl, who was volunteering on the island of Pentecost, revealed she is yet to make contact with them four days after the deadly cyclone hit. Scroll down for video . The family of Ally Trueman, 18, who was volunteering on the island of Pentecost, revealed she is yet to make contact with them four days after the deadly cyclone hit . People grieve as they transport the body of 20 year-old Eddy Willy in the back of a vehicle to his burial in the island of Tanna . Children look on from outside their ruined home on the island of Tanna . Ally Trueman, who had taken a gap year to teach on the island, last made contact with her parents on Friday when she sent a text message to say she was seeking shelter from the cyclone. With 24 people so far confirmed dead, the scale of the disaster became clearer with the first teams of aid workers reaching Tanna island, home to 30,000 people. It is some 200 kilometres (124 miles) south of the capital Port Vila, itself badly damaged. Heartbroken families have started returning from evacuation centres across the mainland to find their homes flattened and their belongings strewn across the street. Aid and rescue efforts have been thrown into chaos with communication lines down across the mainland. However, Ally's mother Leanne Trueman is not giving up hope. 'We know the communications are down, and they have to get those up first, but it is really hard,' Leanne Trueman told The Advertiser.

A group of fishermen in Townsville, Queensland, got a nasty surprise when a crocodile surfaced and stole their catch off the end of the line. The men appeared to have hooked a barramundi and were reeling it in when the massive mass of sharp teeth and scale got the jump on them.

Fishermen in Townsville catch the moment they receive an unwelcome visitor on camera. 'Did you get it yet, Dad?' Sean Evans, who filmed the catch, can be heard asking just seconds before the dinosauric creature made its entrance. With one swift swipe the croc had knicked the catch from the fishermen, who were left to marvel at their close encounter, and be thankful they hadn't been hanging a limb over the edge of the boat within biting range.

It's thousands of years since mankind won dominance over nature, and we're still pretty proud. But a top researcher says we've been giving ourselves too much credit - because we were helped by our oldest friends. Humans paired up with dogs as early as 40,000 BC, it is claimed, giving us such an advantage in hunting that it prompted the wipeout of our Neanderthal rivals. Man's best friend: An early cave painting in Libya of dogs chasing a deer in the Akakus Mountains. A new theory claims humans teamed up with the ancestors of domestic dogs far earlier than was first thought . Left behind: While early humans hunted with wolves, their Neanderthal rivals in Europe continued using primitive tools without any help, according to anthropologist Dr Pat Shipman (artist's impression) The controversial theory has been put forward in a new book by leading anthropologist Pat Shipman of Pennsylvania State University. She has challenged the common scientific view that wolves were only domesticated just over 10,000 years ago, after early humans had already asserted a strong foothold in Europe. No match: The theory claims Neanderthals (model pictured) were no match for the hunting technique . Instead, she said, humans began taming and breeding wolves - leading to the pets we know today - soon after they arrived on the continent from Africa up to 70,000 years ago. At the time, our close genetic relatives the Neanderthals were dominant in Europe, fighting for survival as they hunted creatures such as woolly mammoths with primitive tools. But soon afterwards the rival species died out, leaving a clear path for the homo sapiens that make up today's humans. Strong rival theories of their demise include that Neanderthals, just like woolly mammoths, were unable to cope with the changing climate of the last ice age or that humans were better hunters. Dr Shipman, however, told The Observer: 'We formed an alliance with the wolf and that would have been the end for the Neanderthal. 'Early wolf-dogs would have tracked and harassed animals like elk and bison and would have hounded them until they tired. Then humans would have killed them with spears or bows and arrows. 'This meant the dogs did not need to approach these large cornered animals to finish them off – often the most dangerous part of a hunt – while humans didn’t have to expend energy in tracking and wearing down prey. Dogs would have done that. 'Then we shared the meat. It was a win-win situation.' Dr Shipman's theory, shared in her book The Invaders: How Humans and Their Dogs Drove Neanderthals to Extinction, was partly inspired by early dog remains. Crossing paths: Wolves and woolly mammoths co-existed for millennia, but only wolves survived in the end . Close relation: A Natural History museum employee examines a model of a Neanderthal during an exhibition last year. Neanderthals look similar to modern humans but were a distinct species with genetic differences . She examined 33,000-year-old fossils of dogs found in Siberia and Belgium, and looked at how the shapes of their jaws

Summary: Neanderthals were wiped out after ancient humans arrived from Africa . Scientists disagree on why - but top anthropologist may have the answer . Dr Pat Shipman said we paired up with wolves in symbiotic partnership . Wolves cornered prey and humans made the kill, sharing meat afterwards . Neanderthals were then 'no match' for humans' superior hunting tactics .


Holidaymakers seem as keen to work out as chill out when away on breaks, according to a survey, and it may be inspired by fitness-loving celebrities. As many as 47 per cent of Britons would be keen to head off on a fitness holiday, the poll by foreign exchange company Travelex showed. More than a third (34 per cent) booking health holidays are prepared to spend £500 or more on a trip, with more than half reckoning they will get better deals on fitness activities abroad than at home. Model Gisele Bundchen is a keen advocate of maintaining her exercise routine on holiday . TOWIE's Lucy Mecklenburgh has developed a strict fitness regime that centres on hard work and dedication . With a number of celebrities advocating exercise while on holiday, it seems the old adage of a break involving lounging around may be outdated. Model Gisele Bundchen has shared with her Instagram followers a series of photos of her exercising and performing yoga on the beach, and other stars such as Kelly Brook and TOWIE'S Lucy Mecklenburgh are similarly as strict with their fitness routines. Naked yoga, bootcamps and Nordic Walking are among the activities Britons have attempted, with 30 per cent of those keen on a health holiday seeing it as a chance to tone up and 23 per cent to lose weight. Also, 21 per cent wanted to learn a new skill while 17 per cent wanted to concentrate purely on their well-being. In contrast, boozy group trips only appealed to five per cent of the 2,000 people polled. Pop singer Beyonce (left) and model Miranda Kerr practise some yoga while on holiday . Gisele Bundchen (left) performs her take on yoga, with Lady Gaga (right) also doing the exercise . Among destinations for health holidays picked out by Travelex were Bali, Tanzania, Finland and Stockholm in Sweden as well as more traditional places such as the US and New Zealand. Elvin Eldic, from Travelex, said: 'Although the tourism industry has always offered healthy getaways, our research shows that fitness holidays are not only becoming more popular, they're also increasingly destinations where we wouldn't have considered to go on holiday such as Tanzania and Finland.' Travelex have also produced a fitness program that can be adopted on your holiday. This can be viewed here.

Summary: More than a third of people willing to spend more on an active holiday . Naked yoga and Nordic Walking among activities Britons have attempted . Celebrities such as Gisele Bundchen are big fans of the fitness holiday .


Marijuana is much stronger than it was three decades ago, experts have warned. Scientists found cannabis smoked today has tripled in strength since the 1980s. Marijuana now contains increasingly high concentrations of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound which gives the 'high'. But concentrations of cannabidiol (CBD), a lesser known compound that is being investigated for its medical proponents, but does not create a 'high', has gone down. Samples also contained contaminants including bacteria, fungi, butane and heavy metals, scientists found. Scroll down for video . Super strong: Marijuana sold on the market today has tripled in strength since the 1980s, scientists warn . The research was carried out by Dr Andy LaFrate, the president and director of research of Charas Scientific, a lab in Colorado, US, which carries out potency testing on marijuana samples on the market today. Presenting his preliminary findings at the 249th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), he found that marijuana has tripled in strength in the last 30 years. He said: 'We've seen a big increase in marijuana potency compared to where it was 20 or 30 years ago. 'I would say the average potency of marijuana has probably increased by a factor of three.' The average potencies of the samples he analysed was 20 per cent THC, but he saw values close to 30 per cent, which he described as'huge'. He explained that 30 years ago, THC levels in marijuana were well below 10 per cent. The THC content of cannabis has tripled in some strains because producers have been cross-breeding them over the years as users demand stronger drugs, he said. He added that an unexpected consequence of the breeding was that many of the samples his lab tested contained little to no CBD. Researchers are currently investigating CBD as a treatment for schizophrenia, Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease, as well as anxiety and depression. But unlike THC, CBD doesn't get provide the same 'high', which is why it could be considered in treatments for children. Extra potent: Concentrations of marijuana's active ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (pictured) have increased from less than 10 per cent in samples from the 1980s to up to 30 per cent in samples tested today . Dr LaFrate said he was shocked by the levels of contaminants in samples of marijuana producers had voluntarily sent to the lab for testing. He said: 'One thing that's been surprising is the level of microbial contamination in marijuana.' 'Many of the samples were covered in fungi or bacterial contaminants. 'Others had Butane, which are used to create marijuana extracts, and others had heavy metals.' This isn't necessarily a cause for alarm, but it could spark discussions on what are safe levels of contaminants. Dr LaFrate said: 'It's a natural product. There's going to be microbial growth on it no matter what you do. 'So the questions become: What's a safe threshold? And which contaminants do we need to be concerned about?'

Summary: Cannabis has tripled in strength in the last three decades, scientists warn . They analysed levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in marijuana . Found THC concentrations of 30%, compared to 10% three decades ago . Scientists also discovered bacteria, fungi, butane and heavy metals in pot .


The Internal Revenue Service's $10.9 billion annual budget is so puny that it's ignoring 60 per cent of phone calls from people who are working on their tax return who have questions in advance of the April 15 filing deadline. John Koskinen, the agency's commissioner, said Tuesday during a speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that $346 million in budget cuts this year has caused a noticeable negative impact on taxpayer service.' 'This year we were forced to substantially reduce hiring of extra seasonal help we usually bring in during the filing season,' Koskinen said. 'As a result, the phone level of service is now below 40 per cent.' SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . CRY POVERTY: IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told a National Press Club audience that $10.9 billion is too small a budget to guarantee that taxpayers who call with questions hear a voice on the other end of the line . 'TIS THE SEASON: Tax returns for 2014 are due on April 15 . 'That means that six out of every 10 people who call can't reach a customer service representative,' said Koskinen. 'This truly is an abysmal level of service.' Koskinen wasn't ceding new ground in Americans' hate-hate relationship with the IRS. He was arguing that Congress should give his agency more money. 'We are aware of taxpayers lining up outside some of our offices many hours before they open,' he said. 'You would think, in fact, we must be selling something like the Apple watch when you look at the lines. This is not a new story this year; it’s just gotten worse.' Overall, Koskinen complained, 'the IRS is now the lowest level of funding since 2008,' resulting in 'fewer audits and collection cases' and costing the U.S. Treasury at least $2 billion in revenue. CAN'T BE ABOLISHED: Presidential canididate Sen. Ted Cruz (pictured in New Hampshrie on March 27) has campaigned on the idea of doing away with the IRS, but Koskinen said Tuesday that it can't be done – although 'you can call it something other than the IRS if that makes you feel better' Congress has weighed that number, though, against a much larger sum of money that has gone out the door to tax fraud scammers. In 2013, the last year for which reliable numbers are available, the IRS paid out $5.8 billion in fake tax refunds to identity thieves. Law enforcement crackdowns have taken 'a lot of the amateurs off the street, but we are clearly dealing with organized crime syndicates here and around the world,' the commissioner said. And the IRS itself gets 'millions of attacks on our system every year,' he griped, due to some software packages the IRS has been using since 'when JFK was president.' 'About the only good thing you can say about them,' Koskinen joked, 'is that the code they use has been out of date for so long that it has the unintended effect of creating problems for any hackers who might try to figure out how the system actually works.' The IRS

Summary: John Koskinen revealed the startling statistic during a speech at the National Press Club . He says budget cuts have forced the IRS to pare back its staff numbers, leaving tax return filers largely on their own . Agency has already cried poor this year, complaining that it lacks the manpower to conduct as many audits as in past years . But the IRS paid out $5.8 billion in fake tax refunds to identity thieves in 2013, the most recent year for which numbers are available . Americans have a hate-hate relationship with the agency: 'The IRS code is longer than the Bible,' Koskinen admitted, 'with none of the good news'

England's cricket calamity has sharpened the minds of their rugby counterparts, who know they are next in line to carry the nation's hopes into a World Cup. Events in Australia on Monday registered strongly at the Red Rose HQ in Surrey — serving to highlight the pressure that will come with the global tournament on these shores later this year. While there are still two rounds of RBS 6 Nations matches to go, Stuart Lancaster is mindful of September's showpiece. England's failure to beat Bangladesh in the Cricket World Cup has got Stuart Lancaster feeling the pressure . The England rugby coach said there was more expectation from the nation after the poor showing in Adelaide . 'It's hugely disappointing to see the cricket guys go out and you understand the expectation and the stakes,' said the head coach. 'I have a massive game on Saturday and another one the following Saturday, but you can't help thinking ahead to what September is going to look and feel like. With it being in our own country, the pressure and expectation is going to be huge.' Asked if he empathised with England cricket coach Peter Moores, who faces a fight to save his job, Lancaster said: 'I've met him a couple of times but we haven't spoken recently. 'Any coach can empathise with another from their country who has had a difficult World Cup. It reinforces the need for us to be as prepared as we can be for our big challenge in six months.' Lancaster empathised with England cricket coach Peter Moores, who has been criticised for his management .

Summary: Staurt Lancaster is feeling the pressure after England's World Cup exit . The England rugby coach empathised with cricket coach Peter Moores . Lancaster was looking ahead to next year's Rugby World Cup on home soil . England have tough games with Scotland and France in the Six Nations over the next fortnight .


Jimmy Walker will take a four-shot lead into the final round of the Valero Texas Open after carding a three-under-par 69 at TPC San Antonio on Saturday. The 36-year-old San Antonio resident, a one-shot leader at the halfway stage, is nine under ahead of Sunday's final round - four shots clear of fellow American Jordan Spieth. Billy Horschel is third on three under par, a shot clear of a five-strong group including Zach Johnson and Brendan Steele. Jimmy Walker sits on the third tee as he waits to hit a shot during his third round in San Antonio . Walker hits his third shot on the 18th hole as he takes a four-shot lead going into the final day . Kevin Na and Chris Kirk complete an all-American top-10, with Australian Aaron Baddeley the highest placed non-American alongside them on one under par. Walker started on the front nine and wasted little time in building on his lead by birdieing the par-five second. Successive bogeys at the third and fourth hampered Walker's progress somewhat but he made amends by picking up shots at the sixth and eighth holes to reach the turn in 35. A second bogey on the 12th was almost immediately wiped out as Walker birdied the 14th, before finishing strongly with further birdies on the final two holes for a three-under-par score for the day. Spieth carded six birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey to lie second, while Horshel helped himself to third by birdieing the final three holes. Walker hits out of the bunker on the 8th hole at TPC San Antonio AT&T Oaks Course . Walker signs autographs for the fans after finishing his round at the Valero Texas Open . Five-time major winner Phil Mickelson, meanwhile, was even par after a 74 which featured an eagle, a birdie, three bogeys and a double bogey. Walker played the conditions extremely well to extend his lead by three shots ahead of Sunday's deciding round and admitted that he exceeded his own expectations. 'It's a tough golf course,' Walker told the PGA Tour website. 'I thought coming into today that even par or maybe one under would be a good score. 'You definitely want to find a way to extend the lead, but you have to be smart about it.' Jordan Spieth tees off on the 16th hole before finishing the day in second place behind Walker . Phil Mickelson walks off the 15th green during his third round in San Antonio . World number six Spieth, like third-placed Horshel, was one under for the day but was not overly impressed with some aspects of his round. 'I'm going to have to hit the ball better than I did today,' he said. 'A couple of tough breaks on the back nine. 'All in all, I was playing a really solid round of golf, minus a couple of decisions and a couple of swings.'

Summary: Jimmy Walker leads by four shots after the Valero Texas Open third round . The 36-year-old is on nine under par, four shots ahead of Jordan Spieth . Five-time major champion Phil Mickelson is on level par .


That was a big wake-up call for England but I wouldn’t panic or over-react to a defeat against a very good Ireland team in Dublin. They won’t be the first or last England team to experience that. I would largely stick with this England group and trust that they will learn — and learn quickly — from such a painful defeat. And make no mistake, this will hurt because England went into the game with high hopes. I predicted England would win by five points based on two simple points, England would dominate at the scrums and England’s discipline would keep the penalty count to single figures — neither remotely happened and the scoreline flattered England in the end. It’s not a setback on the scale of Cardiff two years ago, nowhere near. England were competitive against what I believe is an Ireland team capable of winning a World Cup but there were some major disappointments and areas which quickly need working on. Former England coach Sir Clive Woodward would have brought on Danny Cipriani in place of Luther Burrell . England's players look dejected after they conceded the only try of the match against Ireland . The discipline was very poor, especially in the first half when they gave eight of their 13 penalties away and went down the tunnel 9-3 down. In fact, it should have been 12-3 because Jonny Sexton missed a penalty he would usually have popped over. I’ve said it countless times before but nine is the absolute maximum number of penalties a Test side should be conceding, preferably less. You are always going to be under pressure in Dublin but England compounded that massively yesterday. It revealed that under intense pressure the mental strength is still missing at crucial times. The decision-making was flawed in a number of key areas. When England were 6-3 down midway through the first half Chris Robshaw opted for the corner when England had won a very kickable penalty. OK, the ref might have indicated that he was thinking about a yellow if Ireland offended again but that was still a huge call when you are playing away to Ireland early in such a big game. You take the points on offer, surely? It was also important to get George Ford ticking over as a goal-kicker. He had landed a nice dropped goal — and it was great to see that back on the menu — but it would have been good for his confidence to slot over a relatively simple penalty shot. If you do go for the bold option, and I accept that very occasionally it can be an inspired call, you must execute. Robbie Henshaw (centre) is congratulated by his Ireland team-mate Jared Payne after scoring his try . That was a very high-risk throw England called to the back of the line-out, where Devin Toner was guarding against just that possibility. England duly got turned over. It felt hugely important at the time and it nagged away at me throughout the game, it was a real momentum

Summary: Ireland can still pursue a Grand Slam having beaten England 19-9 . Johnny Sexton kicked four penalties and Robbie Henshaw scored a try . CLICK HERE for the player ratings from Dublin .


A size 28 woman who was told she could die if she didn't lose weight has been crowned slimmer of the year - after shedding more than eight stone. Georgina Wallace, from Feltham, London, was told by the doctor treating her mother for a fatal heart attack that the 39-year-old faced the same fate if she didn't eat more healthily.

'My world was completely thrown upside down and food was my only comfort.' While her mother was in intensive care Georgina received some frank words from the doctor caring for her mother. She said: 'He explained that the main reason my mum was lying in that hospital bed at just 59 years old was her weight. 'He warned me that I was heavier than her and, if I carried on the way I was going, would probably not even reach her age. Those words will stay with me forever.' Georgina larked about with her cardboard cut out, throwing it the air as she was awarded her Slimmer Of The Year title .

Manu Tuilagi's recovery from a persistent groin injury remains a distant prospect and the wrecking-ball centre is racing to be fit to play any further rugby this season. The 23-year-old has not played since being forced off during Leicester’s Champions Cup tie against Ulster last October. The initial prognosis was that he would be sidelined for six to eight weeks, but that was soon exposed as wishful thinking. A series of target dates for his comeback have come and gone, and now it appears Tuilagi won’t resurface until the last month of the season — if at all. Manu Tuilagi has not featured since injuring his groin playing for Leicester back in October . The England centre is in a race against time to be fit for the World Cup, starting in September . Sportsmail understands he is setting his sights on playing four or five games for the Tigers in late April and May, but only time will tell if that ambition can be realised. England were already resigned to being without their midfield colossus for the entire RBS 6 Nations campaign, but having had Tuilagi in camp to oversee his rehabilitation, the management are aware that he is not close to being match-ready. The latest bulletin represented another setback in an alarmingly drawn-out recovery. ‘He is making good progress and is doing straight line running, but he still has some way to go,’ said head coach Stuart Lancaster ahead of another Calcutta Cup encounter which will not feature Tuilagi. ‘I think he’ll come good at the end of the season. Certainly Phil Pask (physio) has done a good job with him, but it’s not in the near future. By the end of the season he’ll be back playing. ‘It is about making sure his groin and the healing around it is strong enough to cope with the forces he puts through it. He is a powerful man and he needs to make sure the groin has healed sufficiently. It is a step-by-step process to make sure he does not re-injure it, so that is why people are very cautious.’ Leicester and England are keen to build their attacking game around Tuilagi’s forceful ball-carrying but the pattern in the last two years has been for longer spells injured than fit. He has made only four appearances for the Tigers this season, following a modest tally of 10 last season in a campaign disrupted by a prolonged recovery from a pectoral injury. Tuilagi is a destructive figure but when he breaks down it takes a long time for his powerful body to heal. In early December, his club’s director of rugby, Richard Cockerill, predicted an imminent return and outlined just what Leicester and England were missing. ‘Manu should be back by the end of December,’ he said at the time. ‘In the modern game you’ve got to be able to dent the line of the opposition — you need physicality and Manu gives you that. He has been huge for England. The midfield is the biggest problem England have and Manu gives

Summary: Manu Tuilagi has not played since October after injuring groin for Leicester . England centre has missed a series of target dates for making a retuern . Tuilagi is not likely to feature again until the last month of the season . Stuart Lancaster confirmed Tuilagi is not close to a return yet . Tuilagi has been hampered by injuries in the last two season .


Professor Christina Slade, Vice-Chancellor of Bath Spa University, spent £42,000 in a year on luxury flights across the world, it has been revealed . A £300,000-a-year university vice-chancellor spent £42,000 in a year on luxury flights across the world, it has been revealed. Professor Christina Slade, vice-chancellor of Bath Spa University, used her expense account to fly business class in order to 'drum up interest' around the globe. She is of a number of well-paid university Vice-Chancellors who used expenses accounts for luxury travel. Her expenses were revealed in a study by the University and College Union (UCU), which has criticised the 'murky world' of university pay. UCU asked every university in the country to reveal how much their top staff were paid and how much they claimed in expenses in 2013-14. The top paid Vice-Chancellor is Neil Gorman, of Nottingham Trent University, who raked in a staggering £623,000 including bonuses. Prof Slade said that her travel bill is essential for drumming up interest among foreign students and that travelling business class is 'the norm for Vice-Chancellors'. The travel bill is on top of her £299,000-a-year salary, which rose 16 per cent last year. UCU spokesman Nick Varney said: 'It's a chaotic state of affairs where some vice chancellors spend thousands on travel or enjoy large pay rises. 'This lifts the lid on the inconsistent and arbitrary nature of senior pay and perks in our universities and shines a light on the murky world of the shadowy remuneration committees who sign off these deals. 'We need a far more transparent system that allows for proper scrutiny of the spending at the top and the rationale behind pay rises.' Figures obtained from 150 institutions under the Freedom of Information Act show the average overall salary package for university heads in 2013/14 was £260,290. A total of 18 vice-chancellors saw their pay rise by more than 10 per cent, the lecturers’ union calculated. A spokesperson for Bath Spa University said Prof Slade had gone abroad to recruit international students after falling numbers put courses and jobs at risk. 'The increase in international students has replaced the student numbers removed in the wake of an earlier decision on fees. 'There have been no staff redundancies as a result of downsizing at Bath Spa University, making it unique in its part of the sector. 'Without the international students, redundancies would have been necessary. Prof Slade, vice-chancellor of Bath Spa University, used her expense account to fly business class in order to 'drum up interest' around the globe.She is of a number of well-paid university Vice-Chancellors who used expenses account for luxury travel . 'This international development has involved an enormous amount of travel, often at short notice and generally long haul. 'Business class is the norm for V-Cs. Professor Slade has not travelled first class.' UCU asked 155 UK universities and colleges a series of questions about vice-chancellors’ pay packages, including benefits and pensions, as well as money spent on air fares, hotel accommodation and personal expenses, for the year ending July 31 last year. Around

Summary: Professor Christina Slade, is Vice-Chancellor of Bath Spa University . The £300,000-a-year boss used expense account to fly the world in luxury . Travel bill is on top of her £299,000-a-year salary, which rose 16 per cent .


Exeter have moved to fill the void left by departing captain Dean Mumm by signing his fellow Australian lock Ollie Atkins. Atkins, 26, has agreed a two-year deal with the Aviva Premiership play-off contenders and will move to Devon from Edinburgh. Mumm is returning to Australia at the end of this season, and Atkins, who has represented Scotland A, will now strengthen Chiefs' second-row resources alongside fellow new arrival Geoff Parling. Ollie Atkins will join Exeter and replace departing captain Dean Mumm . 'We had been aware Dean might be tempted to move back to Australia, but he has been very open and honest about it, and that gave us time to assess the market,' Exeter head coach Rob Baxter told the club's official website. 'Ollie is actually someone that Dean mentioned, having played with him back in Australia. 'We have looked at Ollie's game closely. He has a lot of qualities that will work very well among the group here. Atkins will join the Devon bases Aviva Premiership side from Edinburgh . 'He is a bit younger than Dean, he has a great engine and is a real 80-minute player.' Atkins played for the Sydney-based Waratahs, Western Force and Sydney University before moving to Scotland in 2013 and becoming a key member of the Edinburgh squad.

Summary: Ollie Atkins will join Exeter after leaving Edinburgh . Exeter captain Dean Mumm is heading back to Australia . Atkins will join fellow new signing Geoff Parling .


The driver of a car that hit and killed a young woman in the early hours on Sunday morning was on the way to work, police believe. Brisbane woman Ashleigh Humphrys died in a hit-and-run incident after deciding to walk from Toowong to her Seventeen Mile Rocks home in Brisbane after having an argument with a friend while they were out celebrating her 20th birthday. Now, after it was revealed that a man was assisting police with their investigations, officers have said they believe he was on his way to work and went to his shift as normal on Sunday, the Courier Mail reported. Scroll down for video . Ashleigh Humphrys was walking home after her 20th birthday celebrations when she was hit by a car and killed at 4am on Sunday in Brisbane . Police seized his car, believed to be a dark coloured sedan, which is also undergoing scientific investigation with the Forensic Crash Unit, according to Nine News. The young 20-year-old woman is believed to have either have been on her hands and knees or lying on the road when she was struck by a car and left to die. Police said people tried to put Ms Humphrys, who was understood to be intoxicated at the time, into a cab at a Caltex service station but she walked away. Police said Ms Humphrys’ injuries suggested she was low to the ground when she was hit in the right inbound lane on the Mt Coot-tha Rd extension of the Western Freeway between the two roundabouts. A security guard from a nearby service station called police after he witnessed Ms Humphrys walking in a disorientated state along the road .

Two more women have come forward to accused Bill Cosby of drugging and raping them in their youth. Margie Shapiro and Sunni Welles both claim they were 17-years-old when, after a night out with Cosby, they woke up and realized they had been sexually assaulted. What's more, Welles was a lifelong family friend of the embattled comedian. Scroll down for videos . Sunni Welles (left) and Margie Shapiro (right) have come forward to claim they were raped by Bill Cosby when they were both 17-years-old . Over 30 women have come forward since last October claiming they were sexually assaulted by Cosby (above), who has repeatedly denied all their claims . The two women detailed their experiences in a press conference with lawyer Gloria Allred on Friday afternoon that was covered by The Wrap. Shapiro claims that she and Cosby met in 1975 when she worked at a doughnut shop in Santa Monica that the actor would frequent, and that he invited her to visit him on the set of the film he was working on at the time. From there he invited her to a dinner, but it was cancelled so he took her to the Playboy Mansion. Once there she says the two entered a 'game house' and began playing pinball. She said that she was not drinking at the time, but Cosby said whoever lost the game would have to take a pill, which she admits she agreed to. After losing and taking the pill, she claims she woke up to find that she was naked and Cosby was inside her. She says she passed back out but came to once more and that Cosby was touching her sexually. In the end, he told her she was not dressed well enough to meet Hugh Hefner and she was sent home with a driver. After that, she remembers 'feeling sick' when she saw Cosby's image in her head. Margie Shapiro (in photo at 17 being held up by lawyer Gloria Allred) claims that after meeting Cosby in 1975 at the doughnut shop she worked at, he invited her to visit him on set . Sunni Welles' (left) mother was friends with Cosby in the mid-1960s when she claims he invited her to go to a jazz club, pout something in her drink and then had sex with her . Welles meanwhile had known Cosby for years as her mother worked in Hollywood, first as a theatrical agent and then a story editor, and that as a teenager studying music she was thrilled when Cosby offered to take her to see some jazz back in the mid-1960s. Cosby and her mother had a friendship, so neither mother or daughter thought anything of it, and the experience of seeing live music would be good they thought as Welles was auditioning to be a background singer. Welles, like Shapiro, was not drinking, and ordered a Coke she claims at the club. After she had a sip she says 'things began to become blurry.' The next thing she remembers is waking up in an

They are two of the nation's most famous scientists, famed for their ground-breaking work in the world of physics. But now, Professors Stephen Hawking and Brian Cox also share the honour of becoming fully fledged brands by turning their names into trademarks. Hawking, 73, whose life was played out in the successful biopic The Theory of Everything released this year, has applied to the Intellectual Property Office to have his name formally registered. Cox, 47, the Human Universe presenter, has already made the move. Professor Hawking has turned his name into a brand to prevent inappropriate retailers exploiting it . Online retailers, such as the site Redbubble, sell T shirts featuring a zombie Stephen Hawking above the words 'Hawking Dead' There is a wide range of Stephen Hawking memorabilia online, many of which include corny catchphrases . This will enable the pair to sell their brands for anything from greetings cards to disability aids to set up an educational charity. The principle reason behind Professor Hawking's move to trademark his name is for charitable purposes. It will give him the option of setting up a foundation, such as one promoting physics or for research into motor neurone disease, which has left him paralysed since he was diagnosed aged 21, in 1963. The move will also prevent others from exploiting his name with inappropriate products and sees him join the ranks of celebrities who have turned their names into brands, such as JK Rowling and David Beckham. There is a wide range of Professor Hawking memorabilia available on the internet, including a thong with his quote 'while there may be primitive life in our region of the galaxy, there don't seem to be any advanced intelligent beings', inked on the front. There is also a pair of boxer shorts, available for £8, with a cartoon sketch of the scientist on and T shirts featuring a zombie Professor Hawking above the words 'Hawking Dead'. A spokesman for Cambridge University, where he is a director of research at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, told the Sunday Times: 'It's a personal matter, it is not a university issue, but he has taken measures to protect his name and the success it has brought.' TV science presenter Brian Cox has also turned his name into a trademark to prevent retailers cashing in on it . This Brian Cox doll is selling for £12.99 on Amazon (left), while the 'I love Brian Cox' badges are available for £1 . Mr Cox, who was also a keyboard player in the band D:Ream that produced the hit record Things Can Only Get Better (later used as a New Labour election anthem), may have also branded his name to protect his reputation. Amazon is selling a Brian Cox doll, at £12.99, which is described as being as 'cuddly as the brilliant Professor Brian Cox himself'. Retailers also offer coffee mugs bearing his face and T shirts with slogans such as 'I will do science to you', 'I am the master of the universe', and simply 'I love Cox'.

Summary: Professors hired lawyers to turn their names into trademarks to sell brand . Aims to prevent others exploiting their name with inappropriate products . Hawking has also applied to trademark his name for charitable purposes . Join ranks of other celebrities to have done so, such as David Beckham .


Killed: Charley Saturmin Robinet (seen here in his mugshot from 2000) was killed in a scuffle with LA police on Skid Row on Sunday, prompting protests . The homeless man who was shot dead by the LAPD is from Cameroon - but could not be deported back to his home country because of the red tape. The man, who was killed on Los Angeles' impoverished Skid Row when he allegedly tried to grab the holstered pistol of an officer while police arrested him on Sunday, was from Cameroon, authorities have confirmed. However, attempts to deport him had failed - because the Cameroonian government refused to respond to repeated requests for travel documents. It has already been revealed the man - whose violent death sparked outrage across America - served 15 years behind bars using the name Charley Saturmin Robinet. His deception was discovered a couple of years ago, when he was due to be deported back to France. But French authorities realized he was not who he was claiming to be, and rescinded the papers, according to the Los Angeles Times. Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, told the newspaper they repeatedly contacted authorities in Cameroon, who failed to respond to their request for a travel document. Because they were unable to get the documents, the man known as Robinet could not be deported and was released from prison. He served around 13 years in prison for the crime, in which he, an accomplice and getaway driver stole $33,500 in a bid to pay for acting classes at the Beverly Hills Playhouse. Warning graphic content . Shot dead: Charley Saturmin Robinet, circled in red, was gunned down by the Los Angeles Police Department on Sunday. Above is the moment directly after the fatal scuffle, after police had backed away . Prayers: The community came together last night at a vigil for the man they knew as 'Africa' Shock: Many feel angry at how the man died on Sunday, an incident which was caught on camera . Officials now say Robinet stole the identity of a Frenchman with the same name and birth date to apply for a French passport in the 1990s, when he came to the U.S. to pursue an acting career. Foreign nationals are usually deported after serving their sentences, but because of a 2001 Supreme Court ruling on the rights of 'stateless' people, Robinet was set free. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Virginia Kice said she couldn't immediately comment on his immigration history. Under the terms of the man's release, he was required to provide reports to his probation officer at the beginning of each month, . Deputy U.S. Marshal Matthew Cordova said he failed to do so in November, December and January, leading to the issue of a federal warrant - which triggered the fatal clash with police. Proof? Police say this frame shows Charley Saturmin Robinet, circled center, reaching up for a police officer's gun during the fatal encounter on Sunday in Los Angeles .

Summary: Authorities in LA confirm the man shot dead was from Cameroon . Deportation blocked by Cameroon government's refusal to respond . Man, 39, killed in violent struggle which was caught on film last Sunday . Police say the man tried to grab a gun, but footage sparked angry protests .

The return of midfielder Koke could be crucial to Atletico Madrid's hopes of overturning a 1-0 deficit to Bayer Leverkusen in Tuesday's Champions League last 16, second leg, coach Diego Simeone said on Monday. A Spain international and one of Atletico's most creative influences, Koke missed last month's first leg defeat in Germany due to injury but has featured in Atletico's last three outings in La Liga. The 23-year-old, who scored in this month's 1-1 draw at home to Valencia, is also a dead ball specialist and the Spanish champions have netted a host of goals from his corners and free kicks. Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone and Mario Suarez attend a press conference on the eve of the tie . Simeone believes Koke returning will be a boost for his team as they try to overturn a first-leg deficit . 'He is one of those all-round midfielders who is gifted at reading the game, he knows how to play in different positions in the centre and he has very good peripheral vision,' Simeone told a news conference. 'When he is on top form, he allows us to play with speed. Not because he is fast himself but because his vision allows us to play that way.' Atletico, last season's beaten finalists, have been struggling for goals in recent weeks and have only scored once in their last four outings in all competitions. Atletico Madrid players train in Spain ahead of their meeting against Bayer Leverkusen . Atletico lost the first leg 1-0 in Germany and have their work cut out at the Vicente Calderon . Fernando Torres in action during Atletico Madrid's training session in the Spanish capital . Elimination on Tuesday would almost certainly rob them of their last chance of silverware this term as they are out of the King's Cup and slipped nine points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona after Saturday's 0-0 stalemate at Espanyol. Forwards Mario Mandzukic, Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres have been off colour and Atletico have failed to score in three consecutive away games in La Liga for the first time since Simeone took over at the end of 2011. Bayer Leverkusen players train in preparation of their Champions League second leg tie . Leverkusen's head coach Roger Schmidt speaks during a press conference ahead of the clash . Leverkusen, by contrast, have racked up 11 goals without reply in winning their last five games in all competitions, including Friday's 4-0 drubbing of VfB Stuttgart. Simeone said breaking out of defence swiftly would be one of the keys to Tuesday's clash at the Calderon. 'We need to shake off their pressuring quickly when they are trying to win back the ball,' Simeone said. 'They know very well how to disrupt play and hold you up,' added the former Argentina captain. 'That's what happened in Germany. They stopped our attacks quickly with fouls and we couldn't develop our vertical game. If we don't take the ball forward quickly we will have problems.'

Summary: Atletico Madrid trail Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 after first-leg defeat in Germany . Spanish champions host second leg at Vicente Calderon on Tuesday . Diego Simeone thinks the return of Koke could be key for his team .


Arsene Wenger’s Champions League record is as phenomenal as it is deeply disappointing. The paradox is apparent is Wenger’s own mantra, oft repeated, that the club’s record of qualifying for the tournament for 17 consecutive years and having reached the equivalent of knock-out stages for the last 15 years is extraordinary. Yet having contested the Champions League and its predecessor the European Cup 18 times now (including twice at Monaco), he has never won it. Perhaps more damningly he has been in the final just once and the semi-finals three times, once with Monaco and twice with Arsenal. Arsene Wenger is undoubtedly one of the managerial greats but his European record is a blot on his CV . Wenger leads his Arsenal side against Monaco on Tuesday night hoping to turn around a 3-1 deficit . Wenger looks towards the Champions League trophy after losing the 2006 final to Barcelona in Paris . Progression to the quarter-finals of the Champions League would require Arsenal to do what no other side has done in the Champions League - overturn a two-goal home leg deficit. So to inspire the team, Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter and created the hashtag #MiracleInMonaco in the hope of inspiring their side to a famous victory, with the topic now trending worldwide. Supporters will hope Mesut Ozil and co can live up to their alter-egos from Arsenal's Christmas party in 2013 where the squad dressed up as superheroes. For a manager of such iconic status who for most of those years has overseen one of Europe’s biggest and best-resourced clubs, that is a poor record, which points to his limitations. Just to be clear, before the debate immediately descends into a pro- or anti-Wenger polemic, there are shades of grey in this argument. Wenger is undoubtedly one of the great managers and will always be revered as such. But his failure to win any European trophy and to have contested just three finals in 22 years of qualifying for various European tournaments, is a glaring omission in his career. It is why the game against Monaco is so poignant. It is not just that he is returning to where his European pedigree began. It is the fact that this tie should have been the perfect platform for Wenger to have another go at building a European success. It hasn’t turned out that way after that awful, shambolic 3-1 defeat in the first leg at The Emirates. Of course, should Arsenal pull off the most unlikely of comebacks, it will rank as one of his greatest moments in the tournament. More significantly, with Real Madrid faltering, Wenger will feel his team, coming nicely into form, has a genuine chance of finally winning it. Few will agree with him though on analysing his record.

A group of pranksters managed to trick more than a dozen art lovers into thinking that a cheap print from IKEA was a valuable work of modern art. Dutch YouTube jokers lifehunterstv took a £7(10 euro) print and placed it in an art museum in Arnhem, and asked visitors what they thought of the 'painting' and how much it could be worth. Several art fans praised the IKEA print, with some valuing it to £1.8million(2.5million euro), before being told of the hoax. Funny guys: A group of Dutch YouTube jokers took a £7 print from IKEA and placed it in the Museum for Modern Art in Arnhem . The team from lifehunterstv placed the cheap canvas on display in the Museum for Modern Art in Arnhem, and asked art lovers for an appraisal. They told visitors the painting was done by famous Swedish artist 'IKE Andrews', and, according to the pranksters, all of the nearly 20 people interviewed bought the lie. The video shows presenter Boris Lange talking about the painting to a number of visitors, who call the cheap print 'modern' and 'shocking'. One man praises the print for its 'constructiveness of things on top of each other, inside each other'. Another visitor, a man in a flatcap, beard and glasses, claims he can 'clearly see that it concerns a form of symbolism', adding that the artist has a 'beautiful spirit'.

'The whole day everyone thought our "painting" amazing,' the team behind the prank says.

This comes just days after IKEA customers in the Netherlands were stopped from organising a mass-game of hide and seek.

The Oscar winner and father of actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie does not waste time going after Obama either, saying almost right off the bat; 'President Obama does not love Israel.'

America has not been the same since his presidency. I beg all of you to understand the truth.' As for his reason behind the video, he says; 'I love Israel. I want to see Israel survive and not be overtaken by the mad men of this world.' Voight, who attended The Catholic University of America, has long been a fervent and vocal supporter of Israel and its people. He previously attacked Obama for his dealings with the country back in July 2008 in a Washington Times editorial, before he was even elected to office. Voight, a Republican, wrote in the piece; 'If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way.' It's not just Obama either, as he also lashed out at his former costar Jane Fonda in a FOX News interview, saying the actress had been 'aiding and abetting those who seek the destruction of Israel.' He has also previously labeled Obama a liar and an anti-semite in interviews.
