Harry Redknapp has advised Liverpool contract rebel Raheem Sterling to sign a new deal at Anfield and bide his time before raking in the inevitable rewards. The young England international is still stalling on an improved contract, reported to be in the region of £100,000-per-week, and will not make any decision until the summer, Reds manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed. 'Not between now and the end of the season,' said Rodgers. 'It has been made clear by Raheem's agent. I repeat that this is the best place for his development and it is clear.'

However, Redknapp insists the 20-year-old is 'lucky' to be at a club like Liverpool and should stay to remain there to develop his game. Speaking on talkSPORT's Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, Redknapp's advice to the talented winger was: 'Sign your contract. You are at a great club, you are playing regularly, you have become an England international, you're learning the game. Reds manager Brendan Rodgers insists Liverpool is the best place for Sterling to develop his game . The 20-year-old has become one of the most sought-after young players in Europe . Sterling was called up for England's World Cup squad on the back of his Liverpool performances .

Seven days on from their Grand Slam-ruining wobble in Cardiff, this was transmission impressively resumed by Joe Schmidt’s Ireland. The proud performance wasn’t without imperfection but their way more direct, full of running approach was enough for them to surpass the points target set by Wales earlier in the afternoon. Then it was all eyes on England before the result at Twickenham brought confirmation that Schmidt’s side could party like it was 1949 all over again – the last time the country won back-to-back championships.

Irish fans celebrate their side winning the Six Nations after watching England beat France 55-35 at Twickenham . Sean O'Brien of Ireland goes over to score the second try during the RBS Six Nations match between Scotland and Ireland at Murrayfield . No one can begrudge them their triumph. With just four tries scored this term, this tricky away assignment had become even trickier in the hours before kick-off, as Wales’ runaway win in Rome meant Ireland required a 21-point win to reclaim the top spot which they had initially lost to England last weekend with defeat at the Millennium Stadium. That would have considerably heightened the pressure to deliver but they were largely unfazed, throwing off the shackles and looking a side emboldened by finesse and hungry for scores. Meddling Scotland initially refused to go along with Ireland’s best intentions. They may have offered up a dozen turnovers and bled on the penalty count by a rate of 12 to six, but they were still combative to a degree despite getting held scoreless in a second half where Ireland dominated territory. They came close, mind, rallying well during Geoff Cross’ sin-binning and knocking on just metres short. Even then they sent Irish hearts a flutter, believing they had scored in the corner with only minutes left only for the TMO review to prove Jamie Heaslip had excellently shunted the ball from Stuart Hogg’s hands before he grounded. It was superb scrambling, an appetite which epitomised Ireland’s attitude in comprehensively winning an entertaining battle played out on a fast track vastly superior to the state of previous pitches laid at Murrayfield.

Summary: England needed to beat France by 26 points to win Six Nations title after Ireland secured battling win over Scotland . But Stuart Lancaster's side could only manage a 20-point winning margin as Ireland were crowned champions . Wales cranked up the pressure beforehand with a pulsating second-half display against Italy giving them the win .


One of my favourite lines in sport is: ‘Winners perform at their best when the pressure is at its greatest.’ Stuart Lancaster and England are under real pressure now. They may be annoyed at the criticism they received after Dublin but it was not the result, it was the manner of their defeat. England were inferior in every area of the game, and that should hurt a lot. After a great start against Wales, England had the wind taken out of their sails by Ireland. Suddenly the nightmare scenario of England not making it out of a World Cup group which contains Wales and Australia becomes a real threat. Danny Cipriani is among England's fringe players who must get a start in the remaining Six Nations games . Stuart Lancaster's focus must shift to the World Cup with two competitive matches left before it starts . Steffon Armitage may be left out due to his choice to play for Toulon but he's really too good to ignore . Lancaster’s men have just five games before their campaign begins against Fiji on September 18... Six Nations . Saturday, March 14 v Scotland (h) Saturday, March 21 v France (h) World Cup warm-ups . Saturday August 15 v France (h) Saturday August 22 v France (a) Saturday September 5 v Ireland (h) If Wales defeat Ireland at home this weekend, their year is back on track and they go into World Cup camp in great shape. Australia will be battle-hardened and energised by a new coaching team. They know if they can put a scrum together to compete with England then Twickenham holds no fears. With two games to go in the Six Nations, England’s momentum going into the World Cup camp depends on their performances against Scotland and France. They should win those games regardless of the team they select. But Lancaster faces some crucial decisions: either continue along the same path or make changes, and send the message to everyone that there is yet more to come from his side. Since the end of last year’s Six Nations, England have lost six out of eight matches against top-tier teams. My concern is that teams will look at England and like what they see. Nobody doubts the front five is as good as any in the world. The England pack is fearsome, and behind the scrum they have the players - but a response is needed. Now is the time to show that ‘pressure’ sits comfortably on their shoulders. Here’s my seven-point guide that England should follow... England's squad are put through their paces ahead of Saturday's Six Nations clash with Scotland . 1 POOL PRACTICE . 2015 is all about the World Cup, nothing else. England can win the Six Nations title on points difference, but in a World Cup year, once the Grand Slam is gone, the tournament is gone. England only have five games before their World Cup opener in September, and three of those are friendlies, which are not games to judge anybody on. That leaves just two meaningful

Summary: England have won just six of their last eight against top opposition . They have two proper games and three friendlies before the World Cup . One of them is Saturday's Calcutta Cup clash with Scotland at Twickenham . They must treat this and the France Six Nations games like the World Cup . Danny Cipriani, Steffon Armitage and Henry Slade must play for England . Make James Haskell captain against Scotland and rest Chris Robshaw . Introduce speed to the back row absent in Robshaw, Haskell and Vunipola . Improve kicking by luring back Jonny Wilkinson's mentor Dave Alred .

The song is straightforward and carries the usual expletive, for semi-rhyme as well as effect. Gabby Agbonlahor, cry Aston Villa fans to the tune of Karma Chameleon, is rather fast. That’s the clean version. The frequency with which the words are heard from now until the end of the season will prove largely correlative to Villa’s chances of remaining a Premier League team. They have not been sounded all too often this campaign. But at Villa Park on Tuesday night, especially during the first half, Agbonlahor produced a performance to warrant adulation. Gabby Agbonlahor salutes the Villa Park crowd in celebration after opening the scoring against West Brom . Agbonlahor threads the ball through Ben Foster's legs to give the hosts the lead in the Midlands derby . It was arguably his best display in years, a return to those days when his speed and strength shot him into the England set-up. Agbonlahor consistently harried Gareth McAuley and Joleon Lescott, chasing down balls he had no obligation to reach, using his stocky physique to keep hold of possession when under threat. Christian Benteke got the headlines for his late winning goal, but it was Agbonlahor who set the tone. His goal was a classic case of pace proving the difference. He latched onto Benteke’s nodded flick and finished while making statues of the West Bromwich Albion central defenders. He did similar when creating a pass out Ashley Westwood’s hopeful ball, sprinting to startle the opposition backline and only being denied a second by Lescott’s goalline clearance. Boy George’s ditty rang loud. Agbonlahor beat Foster again shortly after but Joleon Lescott raced back to clear the ball off the line . Agbonlahor reacts after West Brom keeper Foster almost dropped the ball over his own goal line . Foster initially caught the shot from Agbonlahor but it then slipped through his legs and he had to react quickly . In all, he had three shots on target – including the badly fumbled effort by Ben Foster than nearly trickled over the line – which is a significant uplift of recent matches. In this statistic, the sequence of his last 12 games reads: 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1. Fantastic figures should Jimmy Anderson be bowling a couple of overs at the death in the World Cup. As shots on target for a Premier League striker? Not so much. Agbonlahor failed to test the goalkeepers of Newcastle, Chelsea, Arsenal (admittedly as a substitute), Liverpool, Leicester, Crystal Palace, Manchester United (albeit sent off unjustly after 65 minutes) and West Bromwich Albion. His inability in that period to make a difference in opponents’ penalty areas is symptomatic of Villa’s wider attacking paralysis, stymied by a style that ranked possession over purpose to an adverse extent. Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood ran down the touchline and celebrated vigorously after Agbonlahor's goal . Christian Benteke sends the goalkeeper the wrong way to score a dramatic late penalty and seal the win for Aston Villa . It is hard as a centre-forward to

Summary: Aston Villa beat West Brom 2-1 in Midlands derby on Tuesday night . Gabby Agbonlahor scored his first league goal in 14 top flight matches . The striker put in a rejuvenated performance for Tim Sherwood's side . Aston Villa will need similar from the striker if they are to beat the drop . CLICK HERE for all the latest Aston Villa news .


A woman accused of decapitating her 3-month-old daughter in Ohio pleaded not guilty Thursday to a charge of aggravated murder. Deasia Watkins, 20, was arraigned on the charge in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, where her attorney entered the not-guilty plea for her. Judge Charles Kubicki ordered that Watkins be transferred to the Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare facility in Columbus for psychological evaluation and he increased her bail from $500,000 to $5 million. Scroll down for video . Deasia Watkins is seen in her booking photo . Watkins 'stabbed and beheaded her daughter Janiyah (above) at her aunt's home in College Hill last Monday before going to bed' Watkins was arrested last week after police, responding to a 911 call on March 16, found Jayniah Watkins decapitated on the kitchen counter in the home of an aunt who was temporarily caring for her. Authorities said the baby had been stabbed multiple times with a large chef's knife and that she also had a fractured arm, and the knife had been placed in her hand. Authorities say Deasia Watkins appeared to be suffering from serious mental issues when police found her covered in blood in a bed at the aunt's home. Prosecutors have already said they won't seek the death penalty . Watkins was considered a threat to her child and had been 'acting crazy' and talking about demons when a juvenile court judge earlier in March placed the baby in the custody of Hamilton County Job and Family Services. Janiyah had been placed in the aunt's custody (her home above) after Watkins was hospitalized for psychiatric problems in January . Social workers later placed the baby in the aunt's care, warning her to keep the mother away from the child unless social workers were present, authorities said. Prosecutors said the county welfare agency followed court orders in finding a relative to care for the baby and checking on her numerous time, but they said social workers didn't know the mother apparently moved into the aunt's home about a week before the slaying. Court documents also show that Watkins was diagnosed with postpartum psychosis, and doctors declared her unsafe around the child unless she took prescribed medication.

Summary: Deasia Watkins, 20, appeared before a judge in Hamilton County, Ohio on Friday morning and pleaded not guilty to murder . She 'stabbed and beheaded her daughter Janiyah at her aunt's home in College Hill last Monday before going to bed' She was ordered to be evaluated and her bail was increased from $500,000 to $5million . Janiyah had been placed in the aunt's custody after Watkins was hospitalized for psychiatric problems in January . But the aunt allowed Watkins to move in with her and the baby last week . Family members said that the 20-year-old had been suffering from post-partum depression and was 'speaking of demons .


In the words of Robin Williams: ‘Your mother knows how to push your buttons because she installed them.’ The relationship between a mother and daughter is a complex one – some hate each other and can barely spend a Christmas lunch in their company, while others go on spa trips, talk daily and even share clothes. According to a new book called The Daughterhood there are nine different types of daughter, ranging from the Busy Daughter and the Daughter of Narcissism to the Dependent Daughter. According to a new book called The Daughterhood there are nine different types of daughter (file photo) Irish author Natasha Fennel decided to write the book after her mother came down with with a serious illness. Sat outside the hospital after visiting one day, Natasha wondered how she would cope when her mother was gone. Had she been a good enough daughter? Would she have enough time to do all the things she wanted to do with her mother before she died? Natasha knew she couldn't be the only one feeling this way. She began her research and quickly learned that other daughters had similar fears and had never spoken about them before. She put out a request in journalist Roisin Ingle’s newspaper column in the Irish Times for other women who had difficult relationships with their mother and got hundreds of responses. After whittling the group down to nine women, who Natasha believed best portrayed all of the main tribes of daughters, they started to regularly meet in the kitchen of Natasha’s home in Dublin. Eventually, their stories formed the basis of The Daughterhood - nine daughters coming together to talk about their mothers and the joy and despair that this relationship bring, with the aim of improving those relationships. A daughter's relationship with her mother is one of the most influential of her life (file photo) Natasha said: 'Every daughter still yearns for the approval of her mother, at the end of the day, it is one of the relationships that really matters . 'For daughters, the relationship with their mothers is one of the longest of their lives, longer than with our partners and our children. 'Your mother is your first female role model, so that has profound influence on how you’re shaped and you view the world from an early age - your mother is integral to that. She has a massive influence on you because she brings comfort and joy and she’s the one you turn to when in trouble - she’s your safe haven. When she starts to get older and nears a time that she might pass away, that safety net is pulled out from underneath you and it’s like a juggernaut coming down the road. The Daughterhood is about resolving that for yourself. Natasha Fennel, who wrote The Daughterhood . So which daughter are you? Read on to find out… . THE BUSY DAUGHTER .

An American prog-rock star who has sold millions of records is at the centre of an online storm after a London ambulance did not have enough fuel to take him to hospital. Mike Portnoy, 47, a drummer with the iconic prog-rock outfit Dream Theater, said that he was barely able to stand or lift his arms shortly before he was due to go on stage at the Islington Assembly Hall in London on Saturday night. Paramedics attended the scene and said that the star needed to be taken to hospital so that his mystery illness could be treated. However, they admitted that they didn't have enough petrol to get him there. Scroll down for video . Downbeat: American rock star Mike Portnoy, 47, was struck down by a mystery illness before a gig in London, but was left stranded after the ambulance taking him to hospital ran out of petrol. He was eventually given a lift by a fan, but when he arrived at A&E, doctors forced him to wait because his condition was not life-threatening . Portnoy claims that ambulance staff said that he should find alternative transport, although the London Ambulance Service denies this. The drummer asked fans waiting for him to perform with rock band Neal Morse if they would drive him to the nearby Whittington Hospital. Once a volunteer was found, Portnoy was driven to Accident and Emergency. A London Ambulance spokesman said: 'An ambulance crew arrived at an address on Upper Street in Islington to take a patient to the Urgent Care Centre at the Whittington hospital,. 'The vehicle was low on fuel and requested another ambulance to take the patient to hospital. The patient decided to make their own way to hospital so the second ambulance was not sent.' When asked if the paramedics would have been allowed to fill up at the petrol station located next door to the venue, a spokesman said that he 'wasn't sure', but confirmed that the crew 'had been on the road since 6.30am and it was their last job'. Angry: Mike Portnoy, 47, an American rock star, spoke out against the Whittington hospital in London in an extended Facebook rant . But the litany of bad luck did not end there. According to fellow band member Neal Morse, after whom the group is named, 'it took us 30 minutes because of traffic that the ambulance probably could've avoided'. To make matters worse, when Portnoy arrived at Whittington hospital, staff told him that he would have to wait to allow them to deal with more urgent, life-threatening cases. At this point, Portnoy appeared to lose his temper. 'A very special NO THANKS to the staff at the Whittington Hospital for NOT seeing me regardless of telling them that there is an audience waiting for our show to begin,' he wrote on Facebook. 'I finally left WITHOUT seeing a doctor in order to make tonight's show. I have no idea how the hell I'm going to make it through this show. I can't even stand up or lift my arms.' His

A shocking video has emerged of a Canadian police officer smashing a car window and dragging the driver onto the road during a traffic stop. The unidentified Vancouver sergeant pulled over the man, identified as Bodhi Sattva on YouTube, because he and his colleague 'smelled marijuana'. The motorists refuses to roll down the window and instead asks the officer why he had been stopped. 'Hit the brakes you moron. Open the door,' the cop says, but Sattva insists he has done nothing wrong. 'I'm not playing this game,' the officer warns. 'I'm gonna break the window now in two seconds.' Sattva contests he has done nothing wrong and tells the officer he is on the phone to his lawyer. The officer threatens to break the window again while Sattva says he 'does not consent'. Just seconds later the burly officer smashes pane of the glass and drags him out onto the tarmac. He can be heard: 'What are you doing?' He then complains that the cop is hurting his should as he is dragged along the ground. The Vancouver Police Department told CBC the driver was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession for the purposes of trafficking and obstructing a police officer. The force also reportedly said that if drivers don't want their windows smashed in, they should just cooperate with police. The incident took place in November but was only released at the weekend.

It may look like a stunning rainbow of colour, but the psychedelic hue of this hot spring in Yellowstone National Park, is a result of years of unintended vandalism by visitors. Once a brilliant shade of blue, the Morning Glory pool's appearance has altered dramatically since the 1950s, thanks to an accumulation of coins, rubbish and natural debris. The pool has been dubbed the Fading Glory, due to the transformation from its original colour to the yellowy-green hue it has today. Scroll down for video . Morning Glory in the Yellowstone National Park was once a brilliant shade of blue, but now owes its yellow tinge to debris and coins thrown in over the years . The Morning Glory hot spring in 1940. The photograph reveals a stark contrast to the fiery colours now exhibited at the tourist attraction . The popular tourist attraction sees three million visitors flock to gaze at its psychedelic waters in Wyoming, USA. The site first gained popularity in the 1940s when a million tourists would visit the site . Pool on fire! The fierce colours are influenced by how light interacts with the water’s depth, with yellow and orange colours in the shallows and green in the deep waters . The rainbow hot spring has been clogged up with debris, which block the heat vents, and affecting the water circulation in the pool . It is estimated that the destruction of the hot spring has been building up for decades. Research by Montana State University and Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany helped to create a model that could depict the hot spring's colours from over a century ago, when it was less frequented by visitors. Now nearly three million tourists flock to Yellowstone National Park, compared to the one million in the 1940s, which has led to the build-up of debris in the pool. As the underwater vents started to get clogged up, water circulation was affected, decreasing the temperature of the waters and causing a migration of the orange-coloured bacteria towards the centre. Adam Hoffman from Science Friday said: 'Pigments produced by swaths of those microbes—called microbial mats—are responsible, at least in part, for the brilliant yellows, greens, and oranges that now tinge Morning Glory and other thermal pools in Yellowstone.' Photographs from 1966 show the Upper Geyser Basin pool's original blue colour, before the build up of coins and rubbish . The pool received its name in 1883 from Mrs McGowan, who was the wife of Assistant Park Superintendent, Charles McGowan. As a nod to its then crystal blue colour, she named it after the blue flower, Morning Glory. Although it was originally known by its Latin name, Convolutus, by 1889 it was commonly known by its current name. Over three million people enjoy the Yellowstone National Park annually, spans an area of 3,468.4 square miles, comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges . Unless some subterranean shift happens where more hot water can again flow to the surface, Morning Glory will never be fully blue again . Half of the world's

Summary: Morning Glory in Yellowstone National Park has drastically changed from crystal blue to a yellowy-green hue . Debris has blocked underwater vents, causing a rise in the spring temperature . Over three million people visit the park, and due to the rubbish and coins, it is now nicknamed Fading Glory .


Fiorentina piled on the misery for AC Milan by scoring twice in the last 10 minutes as they came from behind to win 2-1 and put more pressure on Filippo Inzaghi's team on Monday. A superb brace from Felipe Anderson gave Lazio a 2-0 win at Torino which took them clear of Napoli in third place, the Champions League playoff spot, in another of Monday's games. Monday's defeat at Fiorentina heaped more pressure on Filippo Inzaghi . Fiorentina's winning goal came after chaotic scenes at the Artemio Franchi stadium where the referee went off injured and the teams kept playing before he had been replaced, apparently unaware there was nobody in charge of the match. In driving rain, Mattia Destro put Milan ahead against the run of play when he diverted Giacomo Bonaventura's shot into the net from 12 metres in the 56th minute. Milan, who conceded a 95th minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Verona in their previous game, held on until Gonzalo Rodriguez headed in Joaquin's cross with seven minutes left. Gonzalo Rodriguez headed in Joaquin's cross to level in the 83rd minute against Milan . Joaquin scored the winner for Fiorentina with a header in the 89th minute . Referee Carmine Russo was replaced by the fourth official amid confusion shortly afterwards. Milan, joint tenth with 35 points from 27 games, appeared to lose concentration and allowed Joaquin to score the winner with another header in the 89th minute. Milan coach Inzaghi, whose future is the subject of speculation after almost every draw or defeat, left the pitch looking thoroughly soaked and miserable. The seven-times European champions have won two out of 11 league games since the winter break. Mattia Destro had put Milan ahead against the run of play against Fiorentina . Fiorentina's Gonzalo Rodriguez, left, fights for the ball with AC Milan's Mattia Destro . Anderson set Lazio on their way to a fifth successive league win when he dribbled past three defenders and fired past Daniele Padelli in the 71st minute in a run that began near the halfway line. The Brazilian struck again from Miroslav Klose's pass seven minutes later to take Lazio third with 49 points, with Napoli fourth on 46 and Fiorentina on 45.

Summary: Mattia Destro put Milan ahead against the run of play in 56th minute . Gonzalo Rodriguez and Joaquin scored in the last seven minutes . Ref went off injured and the teams kept playing without an official .


It still clearly rankles with Steven Naismith that injury saw him miss out on a UEFA Cup final appearance with Rangers in what now seems like another dimension, never mind seven short years ago. But the Scotland star has revealed that it’s the memory of that heartbreaking episode which is spurring him on to reach this season’s Europa League showpiece with Everton. Roberto Martinez’s men host Dynamo Kiev tonight at Goodison Park in the first leg of their last-16 tie and the hosts are expected to progress against one of the competition’s lowest-ranked sides. Steven Naismith consoles Kevin Thompson after Rangers' defeat in the 2008 UEFA Cup final . Naismith is determined to make up for that defeat, and missing the final, with Everton this season . Britain’s last remaining representatives in the tournament will have their work cut out to go all the way, with the likes of Wolfsburg, Napoli, Roma and Zenit also still in contention. But Naismith is adamant they have what it takes to challenge for the club’s second continental honour after the Cup Winners’ Cup was claimed three decades ago - and are ready to go one step better than Rangers did in 2008 when they lost to Zenit St Petersburg in Manchester. In his first campaign at Ibrox after leaving Kilmarnock, Naismith appeared as a sub in a crucial 1-1 draw at Panathinaikos that gave Walter Smith’s side an away goals victory. He was also among the replacements at Werder Bremen and in both meetings with Sporting Lisbon as the Scots kept progressing. But four days before the first semi-final with Fiorentina, he suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury in a last-four Scottish Cup tie with St Johnstone. Naismith, and his then manager Walter Smith, walk past the trophy in 2008 . The Everton forward (far left) trains with his team-mates ahead of their tie against Dinamo kiev . That ended Naismith’s quest for European glory. He was a spectator at the final and didn’t play again competitively for another nine months. ‘I played in Greece back then and was on the bench a couple of times afterwards but then I got injured at Hampden,’ recalled the 28-year-old. ‘I missed the semi-finals and the final and I remember watching the penalty shoot-out in Florence that took us through on TV and I didn’t feel 100 per cent part of it. It was a great feeling to see the team win but I hadn’t travelled and it wasn’ t great to feel I was missing out. ‘This is an opportunity to make up for that. There was still a great buzz from sitting watching the final from the sidelines in Manchester. It was fantastic but it also makes me think now I’d love to get that feeling again and hopefully go one better, play in the final and win it. That’s what drives me on. ‘It’s not just that I never got to play back then but also that I want to experience the feeling we had around the club from getting to the final in the

Williams driver Valtteri Bottas has been warned by the FIA he must stop driving the moment he suffers a repeat of the back pain that forced him out of the Australian Grand Prix. Bottas sustained a very small tear in the annular part of a disc in his lower back during qualifying, leading to severe pain. Although the Finn made himself available to drive on Sunday morning ahead of the race, the FIA ultimately declared him unfit. Valtteri Bottas briefs the press about his injury at the Sepang Circuit Medical Centre on Thursday . Bottas declared himself fit for Melbourne after suffering a back injury in qualifying, but still missed the race . Ahead of Sunday's race in Malaysia, Bottas has now been given the all clear, albeit with the proviso from the FIA that 'in case of a recurrence of pain, or any abnormal feeling, he must stop at the earliest opportunity'. Bottas has no doubt he will come through unscathed as he said: 'The back is good, no pain, which is nice. 'At the end of last week I could do something without any pain, and during the weekend I could swim, cross-train without any pain, so the recovery was really good. 'We've done everything we can in this short period of time - luckily there are two weeks - so I feel confident of getting back in the car.' Bottas has revealed the injury was due to his brake and seat position inside his car, which have since been corrected. 'The back is now in a more neutral position, less pressure on the discs. We are confident that should be it,' added Bottas. Preparations are ramping up in Kuala Lumpur ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix . Mercedes director Toto Wolff (right) speaks with Bottas in the paddock in Kuala Lumpur . 'I've never had any problems before with the lower back. That kind of thing normally takes a bit of time to build up. 'But there was no warning, it went suddenly under maximum braking. It was like someone putting a knife in there, with the pain ramping up through to midnight. 'During the night it started to ease off. In the morning I would have been ready to race. 'I did pass the tests, but the FIA had access to all the material from the hospital, from the MRI and that stuff. 'Maybe they thought it was better (not to race) in the longer term, which could have been true. 'It was very disappointing, but I also respect the FIA's decision, with the support great from the team.' As a precaution, Williams on Thursday announced Adrian Sutil as their reserve driver, with the German back in Formula One after being axed by Sauber at the end of last year. Although Susie Wolff is test driver and young Briton Alex Lynn the development driver, Williams believe experience is crucial should a sudden change be required. Sir Frank Williams said: 'The fight for a top constructors' championship position will be intense this season. 'Therefore we have selected a driver

Summary: Valtteri Bottas suffered tear in a disc in his lower back in Melbourne . Injury caused pain 'like a knife' would, forcing him out of Australian GP . Williams driver insists he is fine to race in Malaysian GP . But he has been warned he must withdraw if he feels more pain .


Louis van Gaal has filled his players’ heads with so much information this season they look shackled. In a dressing room where everything is analysed, the players look unable to break free. If ever a fixture can change that, it’s this one. Manchester United against Arsenal is a game to inspire any player and, with a potential trip to Wembley, you can see players like Wayne Rooney falling back on their natural attacking instincts. If they do break from Van Gaal’s mould, those creative personalities could come flooding through. Wayne Rooney and his Manchester United team-mates have looked shackled under Louis van Gaal's regime . PLAYING AT PACE . United have dominated possession recently but Arsenal won’t be troubled if United play keep-ball. The win at City shows how they are now just as happy hitting teams on the counter as they are keeping possession. With Alexis Sanchez, Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott, they have pace to burn and with no Jonny Evans it means another change in the United backline, which will only increase uncertainty. Arsenal speedsters such as Theo Walcott can cause United's defence all sorts of problems at Old Trafford . WATCH OUT FOR WELBECK . Danny Welbeck would have been smarting when he was sold by Van Gaal. He is a good finisher, a mature player and there is no way he will want to see United troop out for a Cup final in May. Danny Welbeck will be looking to prove a point to Louis van Gaal who moved him on from Old Trafford . THE FORTRESS IS CRUMBLING . When Arsenal last played United in the FA Cup, Sir Alex Ferguson’s side won 2-0 in 2011. Since he left, Old Trafford has not been the same. In a season and a half, United have lost nine league games at home. That’s as many as Ferguson lost in his last six seasons. Teams don’t fear going there and even the home fans don’t know what to expect these days. Arsenal will hope to exploit any doubts. Old Trafford has not quite been the fortress of old since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure . Van Gaal's side have played 33 games this season, nine fewer than Arsenal, so should be fresher. In the table of minutes played by both squads, only two United players are in the top 10 and one is goalkeeper David de Gea. MINUTES PLAYED . Per Mertesacker, Arsenal: 3150 . Santi Cazorla, Arsenal: 3121 . Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal: 3081 . David de Gea, Man Utd: 2970 . Calum Chambers, Arsenal: 2392 . Wayne Rooney, Man Utd: 2383 . Kieran Gibbs, Arsenal: 2287 . Wojciech Szczesny Arsenal 2279 . Nacho Monreal, Arsenal: 2266 . Laurent Koscielny, Arsenal: 2194 . MY MEMORIES OF A CLASSIC RIVALRY . There has always been a great rivalry between these sides, but I never played at Old Trafford with any fear. I went there as a youngster in 1986 and won with Arsenal and during the Wenger years we had a team that could go and win anywhere. We were a

Exclusive: In total, 42 homes sold for more than £1million in East Horsley (pictured), Surrey during the past two years .

The average home in East Horsley, which has a private sports club, decent schools and nearby riding schools and golf courses, now sells for £1,006,304, property experts Savills said. Property listings show numerous homes listed for sale for more than £1million, many featuring sprawling lawns, open plan kitchens and huge double garages. Sophie Chick, associate director at Savills, said that the cost of housing in cities and towns means that villages now offer comparatively good value for money. ‘We’ve actually found that since the credit crunch, villages on the whole have underperformed their neighbouring towns and cities,’ she said. ‘This is because there has been a marked preference for living within an urban environment, closer to a work place, resulting in affluent UK cities and towns outperforming their neighbouring villages and rural locations in the housing market. ‘This means villages now represent good value and there is a currently good buying opportunity.’ This East Horsley property, listed online for £1,395,000 by Savills, features a massive back yard which backs onto woodland . Inside, it boasts of oak doors and staircases and claims to be an original Frank Chown build, created in 1923 .

It may have once made the longest commercial flight in history, but Qantas' first boeing 747-400 made its shortest journey to Illawarra Regional Airport on Sunday where it will now be the first plane of its type in the world to go on public display. After 25 years of service the City of Canberra plane was retired to an aviation museum based at Illawarra Regional Airport. After less than 15 minutes in flight, the specially numbered Qantas Flight ‘747’ was delivered to its new home with the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society ((HARS) where it will become the only B747-400 in the world to be put on display. Scroll down for video . Crowds cheer as the Qantas Boeing 747-400 lands at Illawarra Regional Airport . Qantas Chief Executive Officer Alan Joyce said donating the aircraft to the HARRS museum will provide not only a great tourist attraction for the Illawarra region, but also an opportunity to preserve an important piece of Qantas’ and aviation history. ‘It's graced the pages of the record books, revolutionised air travel for Australians, marked a huge technical feat for Qantas and carried millions of passengers on their global adventures and home again,' said Mr Joyce. The plane was so big that its two outside engines hung over the runway's edge as it landed . 'Our B747-400 'City of Canberra' is very deserving of a graceful retirement as the star attraction at one of Australia’s most prestigious aviation museums.’ ABC News reported that thousands of people gathered in and around the small airport to watch the landing, and they cheered and applauded loudly as the plane landed on the short and narrow runway - a distance less than half the length of Sydney Airport's runways. The plane was so big that its two outside engines hung over the runway's edge as it landed on Illawarra Airport's runway. The runway is just 30 metres wide but the aircraft has a wingspan of 64 metres. A pilot waves from the cockpit hatch of the Qantas Boeing 747 after landing at Illawarra Regional Airport . The Canberra left Sydney Airport and flew at just 4,000 feet and at a much slower speed than usual for its 15-minute hop down to Wollongong. Now the oldest aircraft in the Qantas fleet, the Canberra holds the record for the longest ever non-stop commercial flight for its trip from London to Sydney in 1989. Over the past few years, Qantas has been gradually retiring its older B747s. Nine of its newest jumbos, the last of which was delivered in 2003, have been refurbished and will continue flying into the future. Qantas pilot Greg Mathews talks to the assembled media at the airport after the flight . Since 2008, the Qantas Group has taken delivery of almost 150 new aircraft, lowering its fleet age to an average of just over seven years. The aircraft will join an impressive line-up of famed aircraft located at HARS including a Lockheed Super Constellation, Catalina, Douglas DC3 and DC4 and a Desert Storm USS Army Cobra. Qantas crew wave to

Former Chelsea assistant manager Henk ten Cate has backed Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal to become a success at Old Trafford but insists his fellow countryman needs time. The Dutchman has been criticised throughout his first season in England for constantly tinkering with his side's set up and for failing to get the best out of high-profile players such as Angel di Maria, Radamel Falcao and Robin van Persie. Manchester United, who crashed out of the FA Cup at home to Arsenal on Monday, face a tough battle to qualify for next season's Champions League as just two points now separate the Red Devils in fourth from fifth-placed Liverpool. Henk ten Cate believes Louis van Gaal is the man to help Manchester United get back to their glory days . Former Chelsea assistant manager Ten Cate (right), pictured with Avram Grant, heaped praise on Van Gaal . United are currently fourth in the Premier League . Ten Cate concedes Van Gaal's side have been below-par but is confident Van Gaal will be able to turn the club's fortunes around. 'I know him well and he is the kind of guy who doesn't just go for results, he wants his teams to play good football. He has proved that in the past,' Ten Cate told talkSPORT. 'Right now at Manchester United it is not that good. The way they are playing is absolutely not good. But it is not the style of Van Gaal. 'You have to give him time because, for me, he is one of the best coaches there is. I worked closely with him for one year when I was going through the stages to get my coaching licence. I saw what he was doing and the only thing he has to do is get used to the way of playing in England. 'If the owners of the club gave him that much confidence and that much money to spend, it is not a good thing to say goodbye after one season because it is starting to become his team. 'He needs a little more time but I am almost positive that he is going to surprise Britain with his [style of] football.' Van Gaal has spent more than £150million since replacing David Moyes as Manchester United's manager .

A University of Oklahoma student has claimed today that the sick racist chant that brought national disgust on the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity is a longstanding tradition among brothers at the organization. A student spoke out to the Today show to say that she had heard the 'there will never be a n***** in SAE' chant from members of the fraternity at least two years ago and that the brothers all thought it was a gas. 'I would definitely say this is not an isolated incident,' the student, who did not want to be named, told Today. Scroll down for video . 'There will never be a n***** SAE': The vile chant was made by members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity chapter at the University of Oklahoma . Cut it off! As one frat brother gleefully sings a racist chant, another steps in and tries to cut off recording of the shameful incident . 'It was really offensive to sit there and listen to that especially because they would just chant it and then laugh after and they thought it was funny.' Meanwhile, the national SAE headquarters announced that it was investigating reports of other incidents at other chapters across the country. The fraternity traces its founding back to 1856 at the University of Alabama - before the Civil War an the end of slavery. It has 218 active chapters, more than 15,000 student members and 325,000 alumni. The fraternity has chapters at the most prestigious universities in the country, including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT and Duke, as well as some of the largest universities - including Texas A&M, Ohio State and Penn State. The SAE fraternity was disbanded by the national headquarters and banned from campus by University of Oklahoma officials . 'Several other incidents with chapters or members have been brought to the attention of the headquarters staff and leaders, and each of those instances will be investigated for further action,' the fraternity said. However, the fraternity - which is now headquartered at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois - denied claims that the racist song sung by University of Oklahoma brothers was a widespread tradition. 'Some reports have alleged that the racist chant in the video is part of a Sigma Alpha Epsilon tradition, which is completely false. The fraternity has a number of songs that have be,' the statement said. The chant, which surfaced Sunday in a nine-second video, appears to be a well-known song to the fraternity brothers. As some members began singing it, others can be seen standing up to join in. SAE officials quickly disbanded the Oklahoma chapter of the fraternity and launched their own investigation following outrage over the clip.

Jihadi bride: Sharmeena Begum is thought to be in the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa . To her adoring father, she was just like any other 15-year-old. Sharmeena Begum loved shopping at Forever 21, listening to Rihanna and watching EastEnders. A keen pupil, she would chatter excitedly to her father about her dreams of becoming a doctor. And of course, like most of her schoolmates, she was utterly obsessed with her mobile. Like most fathers, Mohammad Uddin saw nothing sinister in her constant tapping away on her iPhone. He assumed she was using Twitter and the instant messaging service WhatsApp simply to chat with her friends. Only now does he know the horrifying truth – that Sharmeena was being groomed through the internet by shadowy IS extremists. The 38-year-old father discovered too late what was going on under his nose. His daughter is now living in the IS stronghold of Raqqa, in Syria, as a jihadi bride – and has told him she will never return. Last night Mr Uddin told of his belief that sinister IS recruiters had taken advantage of Twitter and WhatsApp to corrupt his daughter. She had told him she was too sick to go to school the day before she fled, last December 6. But she met up with her best friends – Kadiza Sultana, 16, Shamima Begum, 15, and Amira Abase, 15 – at the Westfield shopping centre in Stratford, east London, that evening. Sharmeena bought an iPhone 5S and some new clothes, apparently using £500 she persuaded her grandmother to hand over a few weeks earlier. The four girls had been inseparable at Bethnal Green Academy, a school rated outstanding by Ofsted. They were so close that Sharmeena invited the other three to her father’s wedding when he married for a second time in September. Mr Uddin, a waiter at a central London restaurant, urged police to speak to the other teenagers after his daughter vanished, and even suggested they might have considered running away with her. ‘I said [to officers], “Keep an eye on the three girls, maybe they’ll give you a clue.” Shamima, Kadiza, and Amira were her closest friends,’ he said. ‘I was pretty sure when my daughter went missing that the four girls would have gone together. And when I realised [they hadn’t] I was surprised. ‘I went to Bethnal Green Academy two days later, on the Monday, and I spoke to the deputy headmistress and I asked to speak to the three girls.

He said he believes she was targeted by extremists . ‘She told me “The police are speaking to them so you can’t”.’ Sharmeena was born to Bangladeshi parents in Tower Hamlets, east London, in 1999. She was largely brought up by her mother Shahnaz Begum until 2007, when her father moved to Britain. Mrs Begum was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2013 and told she had only six months left to live. She kept this secret from her daughter for as long as

Summary: Sharmeena Begum has been named as the first British schoolgirl in Syria . She left home in December ahead of three classmates from Bethnal Green . Her father, Mohammad Udin, says she was targeted by Islamic extremists . He claims they contacted her through her iPhone after her mother's death .


It's a key question to consider when making a hotel booking - do you want a lot of everything or the best of a few things? As Every Hotels launched its first venue in Piccadilly, London last week, it was clear that this kind of question provides the thinking behind its brand. To find out what guests really want, London-based hotel group glh conducted research over the last two years, most recently asking 4,000 adults globally what matters most when staying in a hotel. Each room at Every Hotels' new location in Piccadilly boasts a Hypnos bed and a complimentary mini-bar . Top three were a great night's sleep (86 per cent), no hidden extras (81 per cent) and fast and efficient check-in (67 per cent). Turning its back on the traditional hotel rating system, Every Hotels is striving to meet the demands of guests looking for fully-equipped bedrooms in hotels without meeting rooms, spas or a plethora of restaurants and bars. The company has stripped back all the non-room features usually found in four-star hotels, and instead focuses on quality rooms and a personal service. The Piccadilly venture is the first to open in London, with sites in Hyde Park, Leicester Square and Bloomsbury next on the agenda. Every Hotels has opened its first London location in Piccadilly, with three others planned . MailOnline Travel stayed the night to see whether they'd got the balance just right. Every Hotel Piccadilly offers modern, well-equipped rooms with Hypnos beds, Nespresso machines, complimentary mini-bar, free wifi, a great location, hosts genuinely knowledgeable about the local area and the opportunity to choose your room before you arrive. What strikes me is that senior executives involved with the project are very realistic; in the sense that they recognise there are many restaurants and bars to choose from in central London, that tourists will spend most of their time walking around, and that most businessmen will have office meetings in offices. And so the focus is on the accommodation, the comfort, and having facilities that don't force themselves onto guests. The company's research showed them that 52 per cent of Brits wanted a Nespresso machine in the room . My deluxe room is spacious and bright with a clean and sharp finish. The complimentary mini-bar is a nice touch. With stunning views of the heart of London, yet with soundproofing giving a great night's sleep, the rooms provide that well-deserved luxury after a day out traipsing the streets. The company's research showed them that 52 per cent of Brits wanted a Nespresso machine in the room, and 41 per cent demanded a Smart TV - so these are standard throughout. Richard Sofer, CEO Every Hotels, said: 'What came out loud and clear was that guests wanted a great room with great tech, in a great location. 'What is really important to today's guests, regardless of whether they are travelling for business or pleasure, is they don't want any hidden surprises. 'So, not only is our wifi complimentary, but so are our mini-bars, Nespresso machines, printing facilities and

Ed Woodward and the Glazers love an eye-catching signing at Manchester United but for manager Louis van Gaal the enforced absence of £59.7million winger Angel di Maria against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday might be the best news he’s had this season. Of all the troubles that have afflicted Van Gaal in the last few months, none will have frustrated him more than the most expensive player in Premier League history. Di Maria flickered brightly when he first arrived from Real Madrid but the last six months have signalled a steady decline due to injury, loss of form, an unfortunate burglary and most recently a stupid red card for pulling referee Michael Oliver against Arsenal on Monday night. Angel di Maria pleads his innocence after being booked by referee Michael Oliver in the defeat to Arsenal . Oliver shows the red card to Di Maria after he tugged at the referee's shirt following a yellow card . Di Maria walks off the pitch after receiving the red card during the FA Cup quarter-final with Arsenal . United now have to face Spurs without him as they begin a run of key fixtures that will define their chances of getting into the Champions League. Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea all await in just over a month. Yet Di Maria’s absence also gives Van Gaal an opportunity. By his own admission, the United manager likes to kill off opponents by applying pressure through extended spells of possession. It requires patience from fans and players. For an instinctive risk-taker like Di Maria, it’s akin to being a square peg in a round hole. And for United, the deliberate build-up doesn’t work if after 20 passes, their star man dribbles into a defender and doesn’t fight to win the ball back. LVG has tried the Argentine in several positions but none have worked. Without Di Maria against Spurs, themselves pushing for a top-four place, Van Gaal has greater options. He can opt for two traditional wingers, Ashley Young and Adnan Januzaj, recall the flair of Juan Mata or goal-poacher’s instinct of Radamel Falcao, or play a midfield three of Michael Carrick, Ander Herrera and Daley Blind to give him the control he craves. For now, Van Gaal is treading carefully with Di Maria. It wouldn’t be wise to tell the board they’ve wasted their money and with the player’s confidence at a low ebb after his red card hastened United’s FA Cup exit, the manager wants to build him up, not destroy him. Manchester United ace Ander Herrera battles for the ball with fellow Spaniard Santi Cazorla at Old Trafford .

Roy Hodgson would have left Loftus Road with a warm-tingly feeling yesterday. It had nothing to do with the mid-March sunshine, however. It was because of Tottenham striker Harry Kane. This clash was billed as a straight shoot-out between England strike hopefuls Kane and Queens Park Rangers frontman Charlie Austin. Harry Kane celebrates as he takes his tally to 26 in all competitions so far this term . Kane heads past Robert Green to give Tottenham the lead over QPR at Loftus Road . England manager Roy Hodgson was at the game to cast his eye of England's next generation of strkers . Charlie Austin reacts after missing an opportunity during the London derby on Saturday . Games Goals . Harry Kane 24 16 . Charlie Austin 25 15 . Saido Berahino 28 12 . Wayne Rooney 24 10 . The Spurs striker won the battle at a canter. That's not a slight on Austin, who also would have impressed Hodgson. But when the England manager names his squad for the games against Lithuania and Italy on Thursday, in Kane he has a striker who has every hallmark of an international footballer. For Austin, the jury is still out. Kane was, essentially, the difference between the two teams at QPR. It wouldn't have come as surprise to Rangers boss Chris Ramsey, who played an influential role in nurturing the striker in the White Hart Lane academy. Spurs striker Kane celebrates as his goals keep Tottenham in the hunt for a top four finish . Rangers star Austin is denied from adding to his impressive goals tally by a save from Hugo Lloris . QPR striker Austin watches as his shot beats Lloris only to crash off the crossbar . 'He has polished himself, I was fortunate to have worked with him,' said Ramsey. 'Would I pick him for England? Yes, I would - but the way I'm going...' Two goals against QPR took his tally for the season to 26. That's a record you simply cannot ignore. Hodgson certainly won't. The only question for the England manager now is if he utilises the striker in the Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania or ease him in during the friendly against Italy. His first goal against Rangers showed great bravery, risking a hefty blow to the head to glance home Andros Townsend's free kick. His second showed great composure, skipping round Rob Green before finishing into an empty net. He ticks every box. But his goals only tell part of the story. Kane's heat map (right) in the opposition half showed he posed a greater threat than Austin (left) Twice he showed excellent vision to set up marauding right-back Kyle Walker with goal scoring opportunities, executing both passes with unerring accuracy. Had it not been for Green's heroics in Rangers' goal, Kane could easily have had four by the time Craig Pawson blew the final whistle. After yesterday, Hodgson will be chomping at the bit to get his hands on Kane later this month. Kane doubled Tottenham's lead in the second half after rounding

Summary: Tottenham defeated QPR 2-1 in their Premier League clash at Loftus Road . Harry Kane opened the scoring with a header for his 15th league goal . The Spurs sensation netted a second to take his season's tally to 26 . Rangers' Charlie Austin was denied a goal by Hugo Lloris and the crossbar . Roy Hodgson was in the stands watching England's possible future stars .


Murdered: Keshawn Brooks, 15, was stabbed to death on his way home from school . A 15-year-old boy walking home from school was stabbed to death for his backpack, California authorities said. Keshawn Brooks was jumped and stabbed several times as he struggled with his assailant for his bag Thursday afternoon outside Stephens Middle School in Long Beach, police said. The suspect ran off but was later arrested. Brooks, a freshman at nearby Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo High School, was given first aid by witnesses before paramedics arrived.

He was taken into custody Thursday evening at a Long Beach residence on suspicion of murder, said police spokeswoman Nancy Pratt. 'My son was not a gang member. This was a murder, done outright, and he did not deserve this,' Brooks' father, Keeyon Layton, said at a Thursday evening press conference.

The Long Beach Unified School District was providing grief counselors for students Friday.

Former boxing promoter Kellie Maloney enjoyed a night out with friends at a gay police ball after receiving a standing ovation for her tearful speech at the Ukip conference.

Hundreds danced the night away at the Kent Gay Police Association Charity Ball which raised money for transgender organisation TGPals and the Bluebells Children’s Short Break Centre. Former boxing promoter Kellie Maloney was seen arriving at Kent Gay Police Association Charity Ball on Saturday with two friends . Alan Pughsley, the new Chief Constable of Kent, showed his support by attending the event which saw a cabaret performance from Lola Lasagne as well as a disco. Ms Maloney completed her look for the evening with black heels, layered gold necklace, black handbag and understated make-up. The twice-married 61-year-old, who underwent surgery in November last year to make her face appear more feminine, is almost two years into her transition period to change gender. As a boxing promoter she helped Lennox Lewis to become world heavyweight champion. The longtime Ukip supporter was praised by Nigel Farage on Saturday as proof that his party was 'open to everyone'. Just hours earlier she had read a moving poem about a transsexual who committed suicide during her address at the annual Ukip meeting in Margate, Kent . Ms Maloney also said she hoped to help people understand more about transsexual issues and added 'we are human beings too'.

The spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis may result in 75 million deaths by 2050, experts have declared. It could also cost the global economy a cumulative $16.7 trillion (£15 trillion) - the equivalent of the European Union's annual output. The comments have come from a UK Parliamentary group which focuses on TB. They follow a warning from the World Health Organisation which said last year that multidrug-resistant TB was at 'crisis levels', with about 480,000 new cases in 2013. X-ray of tuberculosis calcification caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis Bacteria . It is a man-made problem caused by regular TB patients given the wrong medicines or doses, or failing to complete their treatment, which is highly toxic and can take up two years. The fight against TB, the world's second deadliest infectious disease after HIV, is also hampered by a lack of an effective vaccine, the APPG TB said. The only TB vaccine, BCG, protects some children from severe forms of TB - including one that affects the brain - but is unreliable in preventing TB in the lung, which is the most common form of the disease. TB, which spreads through the coughs and sneezes of an infected person, killed 1.5 million people worldwide in 2013, according to the WHO. Yesterday it warned that if left untackled, drug-resistant TB superbugs threaten to shrink the world economy by 0.63 percent annually. As a result, governments must do more to improve research and cooperation, the UK All Party Parliamentary Group on Global Tuberculosis (APPG TB), said. The problem stems from the fact that bacteria that cause TB can develop resistance to drugs used to cure the disease. Multidrug-resistant TB fails to respond to at least isoniazid and rifampicin, the two most powerful anti-TB drugs, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The World Health Organisation warned last year that multidrug-resistant TB(pictured) was at 'crisis levels', with about 480,000 new cases in 2013 . The UK parliamentary group's cost projections are based on a scenario in which an additional 40 per cent of all TB cases are resistant to first-line drugs, leading to a doubling of the infection rate. 'The rising global burden of multidrug-resistant TB and other drug-resistant infections will come at a human and economic cost which the global community simply cannot afford to ignore', economist Jim O'Neill said in a statement. Mr O'Neill, a former chief at investment bank Goldman Sachs, was appointed last year by British Prime Minister David Cameron to head a review into antimicrobial resistance. The group urged governments to set up a research and development fund, target investments into basic research and increase support for bilateral TB programs. 'We need better tools to deal with this new threat, but since TB primarily affects the poorest and most vulnerable in society, there is little commercial incentive to develop new drugs,' said Nick Herbert, co-chairman of the APPG TB.

Summary: Could also cost the global economy a cumulative $16.7 trillion (£15 trillion) Comments have come from UK Parliamentary group which focuses on TB . World Health Organisation warned last year that multidrug-resistant TB was at 'crisis levels' - and exacerbated by fact there is no vaccine .

A Department of Health spokesman said: 'These figures show 98.6 per cent of kitchens in hospitals and care facilities are performing well – the second highest number of all industries in the UK. However there are a small number that need to improve and we expect local services to take strong action on this.'
