Tim Tebow, whose stint as a National Football League quarterback briefly sparked 'Tebow-mania', spent Monday trying to make a comeback in a workout for the Philadelphia Eagles. But after one day of training, Tebow left without being signed, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. The 27-year-old who once played for the Denver Broncos and New York Jets performed for the Eagles and coach Chip Kelly in hopes of trying out for a quarterback position, a source told AP. Tim Tebow, pictured in August 20123, trained with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday in an attempt to try out for a quarterback position . Considering all the offseason moves made by Kelly, taking a look at the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner with the huge following shouldn't be a surprise. It has been speculated that Tebow could run zone-read plays better than Philadelphia's four current quarterbacks. Tebow elicited interest from millions of fans in large part for his public displays of religious faith on and off the field, a head-bowing genuflecting move on one knee that became known as 'Tebowing' in the wake of his success. In 2011, Tebow began the season as a backup with the Denver Broncos but was given a chance to start after a 1-4 start. Tebow sparked a string of come-from-behind victories and led Denver into the playoffs and an upset of Pittsburgh in the first round. But Tebow's 47-per cent pass-completion rate was the worst in the NFL that season and when the Broncos signed Peyton Manning in 2012, Tebow became expendable. He was sent to the Jets in a trade. Tebow was seldom used even as Jets starter Mark Sanchez struggled. He was released in 2013 having thrown only eight passes and run just 32 times in his lone season in New York. The New England Patriots made Tebow one of their final roster cuts in 2013 and he spent last year as a college gridiron television commentator when no NFL team wanted him. Tebow, pictured here in August 2013, left training on Monday without signing with the Eagles. But ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter left the idea open, claiming 'We'll see if anything changes' Tebow was being assessed by an Eagles team that features Sanchez, who joined Philadelphia after his own departure from the Jets, and Sam Bradford, a quarterback who missed most of last season with a torn left knee ligament. Bradford was the second sophomore player to win the Heisman Trophy as the top college player, doing so in 2008. Tebow had been the first in 2007. Tebow has an 8-6 record as an NFL starting quarterback with a career 48-per cent completion rate for 2,422 yards with 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Schefter announced on Twitter that the Eagles decided not to sign Tebow, but left the option open. 'Tim Tebow has come and gone from Philadelphia. Team is not planning to sign him at this time. We'll see if anything changes,' he wrote. Kelly's remake of the Eagles' roster has included trading star running back LeSean McCoy to Buffalo, then signing Offensive

Summary: Tebow spent one day of training with team before leaving . He last played an NFL game in 2013 with the New York Jets . Since then he's been a college football commentator on SEC Network . Tebow won millions of fans for his public displays of his Christian faith on and off the field . His inaccurate passing and lack of pocket presence plagued him in NFL .


Craig MacLean, 22 (pictured), was on a flight from Scotland to Abu Dhabi when stewards appealed for a doctor after a passenger suffered a cardiac arrest . A medical student has been hailed a hero after saving the life of a fellow passenger on an airliner at 36,000ft. Craig MacLean, 22, was on a KLM flight to Abu Dhabi when stewards appealed for a doctor after a man suffered a cardiac arrest. Although he told staff he was not yet fully qualified to treat patients, Mr MacLean was ushered towards the unconscious passenger. Despite his inexperience, the Dundee University student started trying to revive the man, then called for the defibrillator kit carried on board to restart the man’s heart. The flight was diverted to Ankara, in Turkey, where it was struck by lightning as it made an emergency landing. However, the man was safely handed to medical crews. Mr MacLean, who jetted back to Scotland yesterday from Abu Dhabi, then used the plane’s public address system to let passengers know what had happened. He said that after answering the appeal for help he told a steward: ‘I’m just a student. Before I could finish, she said, “Come with me”. ‘There was a man in his 50s with vomit coming from his nose and mouth who was unconscious. ‘He was completely unresponsive, so I called for help and we got him on to the floor in the aisle – he was a big man. ‘I assessed him and discovered he was not breathing and had no pulse. A major alarm bell goes off – this is a cardiac arrest. I need to act now, and quickly, or this man will die. I started CPR, called for the defibrillator and asked for an immediate emergency landing. ‘I continued CPR and they brought me medical equipment, at which time a Dutch nurse came to take over CPR. 'I was then able to apply the pads and shock the man. I got his heart beating properly again and he started breathing.’ Mr MacLean, who is from Glasgow and was attending a conference on the health problems caused by tobacco, said that, following the handover of his patient, ‘the last update I got was on landing, at which I was relieved to hear he was alive’. The Dundee University student started trying to revive the man, then called for the defibrillator kit carried on board to restart the man’s heart. Mr MacLean later took to Twitter to tell his followers about the heroic act . Mr MacLean, who is from Glasgow (pictured with First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon), told crew he told staff he was just a medical student and not yet fully qualified to treat patients but was still asked to help out . The incident unfolded on a KLM flight from Scotland to Abu Dhabi, which had to divert to Turkey (file picture) Mr MacLean later tweeted: ‘Not every day you have to ask for an emergency landing and get ROSC [return of spontaneous circulation] at 36,000ft.’ SNP Glasgow Cathcart MSP James Dornan,

A Comic Relief fundraiser sparked a large-scale police alert when he was seen walking along a busy road in full camouflage carrying a 'large rifle'. Armed police, a helicopter and patrol cars were called to the Whitefriars area of Norwich after members of the public raised the alarm this morning. But officers have now revealed that the man, who lives locally, was just on his way to a fundraising event in a costume complete with a toy AK47. Chief Inspector Chris Spinks said the man surrendered the 'weapon' and was 'apologetic and very embarrassed'. Armed police are hunting a 'gunman' in full camouflage clothing seen walking through a busy city centre . 'As a result of the media attention we had a phone call come in saying they thought they had identified the man,' he said. 'We went to see him at 2pm and he was very apologetic and very embarrassed. Two of our officers offered him some strong words of advice. 'He surrendered the weapon which was an imitation firearm. It was a plastic model AK47 which he had painted himself to make it more realistic. 'What he has been told and what we would tell other people is that anybody who wants to do something out of the ordinary should think about it first. 'Obviously when you have dressed yourself like that you know what your motives are but clearly some people this morning were not and they rightly called the police. 'We were relatively certain that it would be something around the fundraising issue but we couldn't be sure so we responded with our armed unit, our dog unit and a helicopter.' There have been no sightings of the man since officers responded to a number of calls this morning . 'This is the second similar high profile incident which has taken place in the last month. 'We would like to remind people to think carefully about the consequences of carrying imitation weapons and of their general appearance which, as in this case, could be misconstrued by other members of the public.' No offences were committed, but the man was visited by officers and has been given strong words of advice about the consequences of his actions. Officers were called to the Whitefriars area of Norwich - near the city's law courts - at about 8.30am today and a helicopter was deployed to help with the search. A taxi driver, who captured video of the 'gunman', said: 'I saw a man in the full combat clothing carrying a rifle in his right hand. 'I wasn't sure if it was an imitation but I thought it was a bit strange.' Eliza O'Hara tweeted: 'Arrive at work to find the area surrounded by police with guns and a helicopter circling.' John M Hayes tweeted: 'Our Norwich Office was surrounded by armed police and helicopters, thankfully none of the team was wearing camouflage.' Police mounted a full-scale search operation in Norwich on February 18 when a teenager was spotted waving around a machete. It turned out he was a second-year media student

Football-mad president Xi Jinping has already made the sport a compulsory part of the national curriculum for schoolchildren, with the aim of turning his country into a football powerhouse. Xi Jinping kicks a football during a 2012 visit to Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, when he was China's vice president. The football-mad leader wants to make set his country on the road to being world champions . Thirty football 'experts' are involved in the drafting of the books, including 'football education specialists' Young players, teachers and coaches will be able to access online football tutorials linked to the books . 'We paid particular attention on gender ratio when we did the 3D pictures for the textbooks because we didn't want to let male players dominate the books', says the man in charge of their creation Chen Keqi . Xi Jinping has been a football fan since he played for his school team and is said to be very keen to see his country climb the world rankings . And now China's young players will hopefully have everything they need to become future World Cup winners thanks to the new tools at their disposal. According to the Chinese People's Daily, the first series of football textbooks for students in primary and secondary school will be completed at the end of this month by the People's Education Press (PEP). Chen Keqi, director of the Sports Office at the PEP, says 30 football 'experts' are involved in the drafting of the books, including 'football education specialists' and primary and secondary school PE teachers. The texts feature tips on individual skills such as ball striking, dribbling and passing, but also place great stress on teamwork in order to 'cultivate students' will and character'. Mr Keqi said, 'Given the nature of this sport, the textbooks will highlight students' awareness of teamwork and cooperation. It is hoped the 3D young footballers will encourage China's budding players to become world beaters . Pupils will be taught basic skills including 'balancing on a ball' and doing 'keepy-uppy' with their insteps . 'It will aim to cultivate their hard-working and optimistic spirit. All that reflects the educational value of football. 'We aim to improve students’ overall ability and make them well-developed both in mind and body. 'Students’ awareness of duty and responsibility can be raised in this process of learning.' 'Any type of education must take building people’s characters and passing knowledge on to students into account, and PE education is no exception.' There are seven volumes of textbooks, four of which will be for primary, middle school and first year high school students, while the remaining three are teaching guides for primary and secondary school coaches. Pupils from primary grades 3-4 will be taught basic skills including 'balancing on a ball' and

Craig Dawson will serve a one-match ban after Gareth McAuley's mistaken red card was transferred to his West Brom team-mate. The Football Association has confirmed the defender will be banned instead of McAuley. Referee Neil Swarbrick sent McAuley off by mistake after Dawson had fouled Wilfried Bony in the Baggies' 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday. Wilfried Bony (right) goes down under a challenge from Gareth McAuley inside the opening two minutes . Swarbrick apologised, via a statement from the Professional Game Match Officials Ltd, and the case of mistaken identity has been accepted by an Independent Regulatory Commission. An FA statement confirmed: 'Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today [Monday 23 March 2015], a claim of mistaken identity in relation to West Bromwich Albion's Gareth McAuley was successful. 'The player was dismissed during the game against Manchester City on Saturday [21 March 2015] for denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity. 'The standard punishment of a one-match suspension has been transferred to Craig Dawson and will be served with immediate effect.' Craig Dawson was the man who should have been sent off for an earlier collision with the City striker . Dawson will miss Albion's clash with QPR at The Hawthorns on April 4. The incident marked the second time in a matter of weeks that the wrong player has been sent off in a Premier League game, after Roger East dismissed Sunderland's Wes Brown against Manchester United for an offence committed by fellow United old boy John O'Shea. PGMOL general manager Mike Riley has called for the introduction of video replays to assist officials in such cases. Riley told BBC Radio 5 Live: 'The referee has got to make his decision based on what he thinks he's seen. His instincts often lead him to trust his judgement. 'It's one of the areas that would lend itself to technology. The West Brom players protest with referee Neil Swarbrick after he sent off the wrong player . 'The game has stopped and there's time before we restart the game to have a look at something. That would provide the concrete evidence that would get the decision right. 'We've been open-minded to things like the goal decision system which has made a great difference and a great benefit to referees in the Premier League. 'We need to see what other technology can be used to get refereeing decisions more accurate. He added: 'We need to test it in live football. Until we do that, we won't know the impact on the game. 'Technology can be helpful but we don't want to destroy the fabric of the game, the fast-flowing spectacle we all love.' McAuley walks off the pitch after receiving the straight red card but since has escaped suspension .

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho 'lacked respect' for Paris Saint Germain ahead of their Champions League last 16 showdown, according to the French side's captain and matchwinner Thiago Silva. The Blues were eliminated from the competition on Wednesday night after a 2-2 extra-time draw at Stamford Bridge sent the Ligue 1 side through to the quarter finals on away goals - with Silva scoring the decisive header after conceding a penalty earlier which had given Chelsea the lead. Back in December, Mourinho had claimed that the French champions were the side he would most like to meet since they were close to home. PSG captain Thiago Silva celebrates after eliminating Chelsea to reach Champions League quarter-finals . Silva scored the decisive goal with an extra time header that looped over Blues keeper Thibaut Courtois . Jose Mourinho 'disrespected' the Ligue 1 side by claiming they were the team he would most like to meet . CLICK HERE to read how the drama unfolded at Stamford Bridge . Mourinho said in December: 'We don't have much choice, there are only five possibilities, but to make it easy for everybody, I would say Paris Saint-Germain. 'It's easy for us to travel, easy for the fans to travel and they won't have to spend a lot of money to go there. They are a very good team and I would prefer a really good team, which will motivate the boys. So, if I could choose, even though I can't, I would say Paris.' Former Chelsea defender David Luiz celebrates wildly after bringing PSG back into the game in normal time . Chelsea players look shell shocked as they trudge off the field at the end of the game at Stamford Bridge . This riled the Brazil defender who believes Mourinho should have shown more dignity, although he cited last year's defeat, when Demba Ba scored late to send his side out at the quarter final stage of the competition, as the source of motivation. 'It wasn't revenge, but they really lacked respect for us, particularly Mourinho, because he said he wanted to play PSG because it was close and that it was easy for their supporters to travel there,' the Brazil international is cited as saying by RMC. 'But I don't think our display was because of that, it was because of last year.' Demba Ba's late goal sent PSG crashing out of the quarter finals of the competition last year .

Savers should be stopped from cashing in their pensions until the age of 60 to prevent them running out of money, MPs have warned. The Commons Work and Pensions Committee warned that rules allowing people to dip into their pensions from the age of 55 could create 'unrealistic expectations' about the age at which they can afford to stop work. Reforms of pensions, which take effect next month, give savers discretion over their pensions from the age of 55, rising to 57 in 2028. Government officials warn that allowing people to start dipping into their pension by the time they reach 55 will create unrealistic impressions about when they can afford to stop working . But the committee recommended that access to retirement funds should only be granted 'five years before the state pension age'. Under the proposals, men would not be allowed to withdraw their cash until they were 60, while women would have to wait until they were 57. Dame Anne Begg, the Labour chairman of the committee, said savers would waste the tax breaks provided by the Government unless they were forced to wait until their 60s. She said: 'Our view is that, given the significant tax relief provided to pensions, increased longevity, and the importance of ensuring people do not underestimate the income needed in retirement, the minimum age at which people can access their pension saving, except on ill health grounds, should rise to five years below the state pension age.' In the report, MPs warned that the Government needs to establish a powerful new pensions watchdog to ensure people are not ripped off when they come to access their retirement savings. The Ccommittee said moves by the coalition to relax the rules on pensions meant it was more important than ever that proper protections were in place. It was scathing about the pensions industry saying it had a 'poor record' when it came to acting in the best interests of savers and needed to rebuild the trust with the public. Dame Anne Begg said savers would waste tax breaks provided by the Government unless they were forced to wait until their 60s . As a result of reforms announced by Chancellor George Osborne in his last Budget, from next month savers will no longer be required to buy an annuity - providing a regular annual income - when they cash in their pension pot. The committee said that while the measure had the potential to encourage more retirement saving by making it more attractive, there were also dangers involved. 'There are also significant risks for individuals from the new freedoms,' it said. 'These include: failing to make provision for the whole period of retirement or making decisions resulting in insufficient income in retirement; and exposure to fraudulent, mis-sold or detrimental financial products.' It said that it was 'questionable' whether Government plans to establish a guidance service, known as Pension Wise, were sufficient to offset the potential risks - particularly given the low level of understanding of pension products which had, in turn, given rise to a

Summary: From next month savers will be given control over pension from age 55 . Dame Anne Begg says savers will waste tax breaks if allowed early access . 'Savers should be forced to wait until five years before state pension age'


The British are happier than the French but more miserable than the Irish, an EU league table of happiness revealed yesterday. It found that we are on a par with the Germans when we measure our satisfaction with life, and much more cheerful than those worst hit by the euro crisis, including Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece. Scandinavian countries ranked happiest, according to the table compiled by Eurostat, the EU’s statistics arm. The British are happier than the French but more miserable than the Irish, an EU league table of happiness revealed yesterday . It was put out to mark today’s International Day of Happiness established by the UN and was based on answers to the question: ‘Overall, how satisfied are you with your life these days?’ Britons scored 7.3 out of ten – compared to a European average of 7.1 – but the Danes, Finns and Swedes all recorded an average satisfaction level of eight. In Britain, the results of the surveys have shown that married people are happier than cohabitees or single people; that young people and the newly retired are happier than the squeezed middle-aged; and that we worry more about our health than most of the rest of the EU. They have also suggested that better-off people are happier than those who are poor. Ireland scored 7.4 to just pip Britain while the people of economically stagnant France rated seven. The Mediterranean countries came even lower, while Bulgarians were bottom of the table, recording a miserable 4.8. The happiness league follows the introduction by Brussels of life satisfaction surveys which are carried out by national statistics ministries across the continent. Britain has been measuring the happiness of the population since 2010, when David Cameron backed the idea, saying it was as important to know about people’s well-being as to publish economic figures. The British surveys are costing taxpayers £2 million a year. Eurostat said yesterday: ‘Life satisfaction is a multi-dimensional concept, which is very much shaped by various socio-demographic factors which lead to different living situations as well as to different expectations and preferences.’ It said that broadly men and women were equally happy, and health was more important to people than money, work or friends.

Summary: British are happier than the French according to an EU table of happiness . Scandinavian countries ranked happiest and Brits are on par with Germans . The results were put out to mark today’s International Day of Happiness . Britons scored 7.3 out of ten – compared to a European average of 7.1 .


Their normal mode of royal transport is a Bentley . But Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall were game for a laugh today as they took a ride on a tuk tuk round the gardens of Clarence House. The couple were lending their support to a charity rickshaw race that will take place later this in memory of Camilla's late brother, Mark Shand.

Much to the surprise of the waiting photographers, the future king and his wife duly jumped in one of the creations for a spin round their garden. Unfortunately for the royal passengers their driver, Camilla's nephew Ben Elliott, managed to stall the vehicle several times, sending the couple lurching forward and Charles to jokingly wag his finger. Camilla holds on tight as the rickshaw pulls into Clarence House for the event, which celebrates a fleet of thirty rickshaws that will journey 500km across Madhya Pradesh, India, in November .

Joe Schmidt has made just one change to his starting line-up for Wales on Saturday, fit-again Jamie Heaslip returning in place of Jordi Murphy. Injured on February 14 against France, Heaslip has timed his recovery from the three vertebrae fractured by Pascal Papé perfectly. It was anticipated that the problem, treated like a soft tissue injury, could come right in four weeks and the medics have been proved spot on, Heaslip taking part in full training all week to put himself in the frame to resume against Wales. Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt (above) has made one change to the side that beat England . Jamie Heaslip (centre) is back after being injured by Pascal Pape against France on February 14 . Jonathan Sexton (left) has recovered from the hamstring problem that he had for Ireland . R Kearney (Leinster), T Bowe, J Payne (both Ulster), R Henshaw (Connacht), S Zebo (Munster), J Sexton (Racing Metro), C Murray (Munster), J McGrath (Leinster), R Best (Ulster), M Ross, D Toner (both Leinster), P O'Connell (capt), P O'Mahony (both Munster), S O'Brien, J Heaslip (both Leinster). Replacements: S Cronin, C Healy, M Moore (all Leinster), I Henderson (Ulster), J Murphy, E Reddan, I Madigan (all Leinster), F Jones (Munster). Murphy will consider himself unlucky not to have held on, given his impressive show in helping subdue the vaunted English back row, but Heaslip has been true to his word after saying last Friday that he was ‘pretty confident’ he would be declared fit for the Millennium Stadium. Murphy instead takes a place on the bench at the expense of Tommy O’Donnell who demonstrated his worth for the second time this spring, coming on as an early replacement against England for the concussed Seán O’Brien and again not looking out of his depth. Elsewhere, with Jonathan Sexton shaking off his hamstring problem, and O’Brien and Jared Payne both coming through concussion protocols, Schmidt’s team is as expected as they seek to set up a Grand Slam trip to Murrayfield on Saturday week. Jordi Murphy is expected to make way for the return of Heaslip against Wales on Saturday . Jack McGrath is set to keep his place in the Ireland team for the Six Nations game against Wales . It means Schmidt has continued to reward Jack McGrath for his consistently good form, keeping Cian Healy, who started his first game for Leinster in six months last Saturday, on the bench for the third Test in a row. There was concern about replacement out-half Ian Madigan’s control of the closing 25 minutes against England, but he is again back-up to Sexton. Felix Jones has been given the No 23 shirt once more, despite pressure from in-form Munster colleague Keith Earls.

Summary: Ireland lead Six Nations standings after beating England in the last game . Jamie Heaslip makes a return from injury for the Wales clash . His comeback is sees Jordi Murphy drop to the bench in Cardiff .


Hundreds of pictures by the illustrator and cartoonist William Heath Robinson have been saved for the nation. The collection of 410 drawings and paintings, which includes many of his well-known First and Second World War cartoons, was put up for sale following the death of its previous owner. But now the William Heath Robinson Trust has been awarded a £250,000 grant by the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) and a further £50,000 by the Art Fund to secure the collection for British fans. Hundreds of pictures by the illustrator and cartoonist William Heath Robinson, including this picture of priests playing rugby, have been saved for the nation . Heath Robinson, whose name became a synonym for absurdly ingenious devices thanks to his wacky drawings, has been cited as an inspiration for numerous illustrators. Olympic cauldron designer Thomas Heatherwick and Nick Park, whose creation Wallace dreams up Heath Robinson-style devices while his dog Gromit looks on, have all named him as an influence. Illustrator Heath Robinson, whose name became a synonym for absurdly ingenious devices thanks to his drawings of complicated and wacky inventions - often for simple tasks . The collection includes satirical cartoons from both World Wars, such as Deceiving The Invader As To The State Of The Tide, with a British beach scene arranged on tall stilts in the sea to trick the Germans into believing they are in the shallows, part of a series looking at ways to resist an invasion. There are also examples from his series The Saintly Hun, which subverted the usual depiction of the German character during the First World War. And there is an almost complete set of drawings made for How To Build A New World, a book published in 1941 reflecting the hopes and aspirations of Britain in the Second World War. The collection was put on sale after Simon Heneage died in 2011 and had been at risk of being broken up. It will now be displayed at the new Heath Robinson Museum at West House, Pinner, north west London, when it opens in April 2016, also includes rare rough early sketches and advertising commissions. It joins more than 1,200 items and places safeguarded by the National Heritage Memorial Fund, which exists to save the nation's best heritage in memory of those who gave their lives for the UK, ranging from the Mary Rose ship to a collection of the work of Second World War codebreaker Alan Turing.

Roy Keane has the ‘broad shoulders and mental toughness’ required to manage Manchester United, according to his former Old Trafford engine room colleague, Paul Ince. Ince, 47, a double-winner with Keane at United in 1994, on Thursday hailed the Irish assistant manager as ‘a leader of men.’ ‘I speak to Roy and he does want to get back in (to management) but at the right establishment, with the right project. Roy Keane is not a number two, Roy Keane is a leader of men,’ said Ince. Roy Keane has the ‘mental toughness’ required to manage Manchester United, says Paul Ince . Ince slides in for a tackle during United's game against Sheffield Wednesday in 1992 . ‘And if the right thing (job) comes along then I’m sure he will get back into it (management).’ Keane was last in charge at Ipswich over four years ago but even so Ince is convinced the 43-year-old will ‘be a top, top manager’ and could even return to the front-line at United. ‘To be Man United manager you need broad shoulders and take a lot of criticism. Roy has broad shoulders and he is mentally tough. Things don’t affect him,’ said Ince. ‘He has a poker face, doesn’t show if things are affecting him, and there is no reason why Roy couldn’t go back to Manchester United (as manager).’ ‘You cannot lose people like him from the game,’ warned Ince. ‘He knows so much about football, no matter what your cup of tea is. Ince is convinced Keane, who was last in charge of Ipswich four years ago, will ‘be a top, top manager’ ‘Some people love him, some people hate him. You always try to guess what Keanie’s like but he does not let people into his head.’ ‘He’s got a vast knowledge of football and he sets the highest standards. You don’t get the players anymore with Roy’s standards,’ he added. ‘You do hear people say “Roy rules by fear.” Maybe, that’s Roy and the way he is. Maybe, that’s how he feels he can be a success in what he does and he did it at Sunderland.’ ‘Roy Keane has an ego. We all had egos at Man United because that’s what made us who we were,’ he added. Ince rejected any suggestion that Ryan Giggs (left) might succeed Louis van Gaal as United boss . Ince rejected any suggestion that Ryan Giggs might succeed Louis Van Gaal at United. ‘No chance,’ he said. ‘You’ve got to go to a club that you can learn from and get experience. He’s not ready for Man United.’ Ince didn’t rule out Keane succeeding Martin O’Neill as Irish manager. ‘Maybe he (Keane) thinks that when Martin’s done, then he’s the next one to step up. That’s the logic I see in it,’ he said. ‘International football is hard because it’s once every month or two months. I think Keanie would like to be on the training ground every day,’ cautioned Ince.

Luis Suarez admits he had never even dreamed of playing in an El Clasico match before he sealed a move to Barcelona. But now, the 28-year-old, who arrived in Spain following a £75million move from Liverpool, is preparing for his first El Clasico at the Nou Camp. It's a game that could shape the La Liga title race this season and Suarez, who made his Barcelona debut against Real Madrid earlier in the season, is nothing but excited. Suarez revealed in an interview with Barca TV: 'I never imagined playing in El Clasico. I used to watch the games and look at photos and I used to say how incredible to play in it was. 'Now it's time to enjoy it and make the most of the moment. I was at the 5-0 game and the 1-1 draw in the Champions League (2010/2011). As a fan you enjoy it a lot.' Speaking about making his debut in Spanish football's biggest game, Suarez said: 'I was focused on my nervousness about coming back to play. Lionel Messi, Suarez and Neymar Jnr have netted 55 La Liga goals between them this season . 'Aside from it being El Clasico, it was important for me. I didn't enjoy it as you should enjoy El Clasico, let's hope I can do it this time.' Suarez has become an important part of a three-pronged attack at Barcelona since his arrival and has played some of the best form of his career. However, the Uruguayan striker remains self-critical and is only concentrating on being happy on the pitch and helping the squad. Suarez attempts to score past Manchester City's goalkeeper Joe Hart during a Champions League clash . Suarez said: 'I don't know if this is my best moment of form. I do know that I am happy, I feel like I am helping the team and that allows me to be relaxed. 'It isn't difficult to have an understanding with players of Barcelona's quality. 'But we have to continue in that vein, showing that we want to help the team and that nobody wants to steal the limelight, only to achieve big things.' Hart denies Suarez as the former Liverpool striker looks to score during the Champions League clash .

Archaeologists are to start digging for another of Britain’s ‘lost’ kings - this time under a school playing field. The team searching for medieval monarch King Stephen, who died in 1154, hope to follow in the footsteps of those who found Richard III. Thousands gathered to witness his burial at Leicester Cathedral yesterday after his discovery under a car park in the city. Archaeologist Dr Philp (left) is searching for medieval monarch King Stephen (right), who died in 1154 and is believed to be buried beneath Queen Elizabeth school playing field in Kent . The fresh search is set to take place this week 160 miles away in Faversham, Kent. Stephen, grandson of William the Conqueror, was crowned in 1141 after the death of Henry I. His reign was dominated by civil war and he died from illness in 1154 and was buried in the grounds of Faversham Abbey along with his wife Queen Matilda and son Eustace. The abbey was demolished by Henry VIII in 1538 and when it was excavated by archaeologists in 1965 the bones of Stephen were not found. But local archaeologist Dr Brian Philp claims he has located the site of the former’ abbey’s royal vaults and believes an excavation will unearth Stephen’s tomb. Dr Philp, director of the Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit, has identified the playing fields at Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School as his resting place. Dr. Philp claims he has located the site of the former’ abbey’s royal vaults and believes an excavation will unearth Stephen’s tomb . Director of the Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit, Dr. Brian Philp has identified the playing fields at Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School as his resting place . He said: “I have now relocated the site of the royal vaults. We did not find any human bones in 1965 but the vaults were not fully excavated. “Once we have found the exact location, we may be able to find the bones.” He added: “As Richard III has been so celebrated recently, we want to have a big ceremony and a plaque to commemorate King Stephen. Richard III: Archaeologists are hoping to recreate the success that followed the discovery of the lost king. Thousands gathered to witness his burial at Leicester Cathedral after his discovery under a car park . “After all, Stephen was buried 330 years before Richard III and certainly not in a car park. “We hope the school and the Faversham Society will have a part in this project. This is a crucial historical site in Kent.” Dr Philp hopes to begin excavation of the playing fields this week. Stephen, grandson of William the Conqueror, was crowned in 1141 after the death of Henry I . His reign was dominated by civil war after Matilda I invaded to claim the throne . Nobles and allies quickly deserted King Stephen who had difficulty inspiring loyalty . He was captured at Lincoln in the first year of his reign but later released in a prisoner exchange . In 1149 and 1153 Matilda’s son Henry invaded England to challenge Stephen unsuccessfully

It weighs just half an ounce and its natural home is a tree. But tiny songbird the blackpoll warbler routinely undertakes non-stop flights of up to 1,700 miles across open ocean, scientists have confirmed. The heroic journeys are 'on the brink of impossibility', according to one of the researchers who attached tracking devices to 40 birds. Long journey: The blackpoll warbler routinely undertakes flights of up to 1,700 miles, flying without stopping to rest, eat or drink across the Atlantic . Experts had long wondered about tantalising clues that suggested the warbler was capable of epic migrations between North and South America. Now they have proof that it really does fly without stopping to rest, eat or drink across the Atlantic. Unlike other migratory songbirds travelling south for the winter, the warbler ignores the safe option of hugging the coastline through Mexico and Central America. Instead it risks death by flying hundreds of miles from land even though it cannot land on water and live. Nice flight: A blackpoll warbler wearing a miniature tracking device . US scientists were astonished when they analysed data from some of the birds they tracked from New England and Canada to the Caribbean, Venezuela and Colombia. Dr Bill DeLuca, from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, said: 'It was pretty thrilling to get the return birds back, because their migratory feat in itself is on the brink of impossibility. 'When we accessed the locators, we saw the blackpolls' journey was indeed directly over the Atlantic. The distances travelled ranged from 1,410 to 1,721 miles.' He added: 'For small songbirds, we are only just now beginning to understand the migratory routes that connect temperate breeding grounds to tropical wintering areas. 'We're really excited to report that this is one of the longest non-stop over-water flights ever recorded for a songbird, and finally confirms what has long been believed to be one of the most extraordinary migratory feats on the planet.' For the study, published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters, the scientists captured 20 birds in Vermont and another 20 in Nova Scotia and fitted them with geolocator packs. The devices, each about the size of a 5p piece, were attached using leg harnesses, much like a rucksack. Too small to house GPS receivers, they operated by means of 'solar geolocation' - a method used for centuries by mariners and explorers. It is based on the fact that day length varies with latitude and the time of solar noon - when the sun is at its highest point in the sky - varies with longitude.

Summary: Blackpoll warbler undertakes non-stop flights of up to 1,700 miles . Flies without stopping to rest, eat or drink across the Atlantic . US scientists tracked birds from New England to the Caribbean .


Ajax manager Frank de Boer has revealed he has aspirations to one day manage Tottenham or Liverpool after previously going close to taking up the reins at White Hart Lane and Anfield. De Boer, who has won four Dutch titles at Ajax, has been linked with a move to the Barclays Premier League on multiple occasions and the 44-year-old has now confirmed rumours linking him with a move to England.

Ajax manager Frank de Boer has revealed he previously came close to joining Tottenham and Liverpool . Mauricio Pochettino beat off competition from De Boer to take up the reins at White Hart Lane . Speaking exclusively to FourFourTwo, De Boer said: 'Together with Mauricio Pochettino I was the biggest candidate, and if they had chosen me, I would've done it. "If I get an offer from a club in the future, I will consider the possibility and then follow my feeling. I look at whether it's a club where I think I can present myself well and where I'll be able to act in the way I like. 'Before, there was potential interest from Monaco as well, but it wasn't something I was looking for at that moment. Liverpool and Spurs are clubs I could manage. 'Liverpool approached me in the same way Tottenham did this year, wanting to hold exploratory talks first.' De Boer is keen on following fellow countryman Louis van Gaal and Ronald Koeman to England .

The comedian was reportedly on stage when a woman became offended by his comments and slid off her chair and sat under the table during his show . Ms Devlin says Mr Badran's joke about looking like a rapist during his third-last act was what tipped her over the edge. She told The Age that Mr Badran joked: 'So you know how gay people can make jokes about being gay, and black people can make jokes about being black, well I can make jokes about rape.' When the outraged audience member staged her silent protest, Mr Badran reportedly said in the middle of his act: 'Seriously, what's this girl's problem? Oh wait, you probably shouldn't ask someone whose just called out a rape joke what their problem is.' Ms Devlin believes Mr Badran became distracted by her actions, which prompted him to stop the show and walk up to her to say: 'Good on you for taking a stand, but you're a piece of s*** and I hope you die.' Those who were outraged by Mr Badran's actions took to social media and criticised the comedian . One woman agreed with Ms Devlin and couldn't see the humour in the comedian's joke about domestic violence. 'Ray Badran told a woman who felt uncomfortable about his rape joke he wished she would die. That's not exactly funny now is it?' she tweeted. Another criticised Mr Badran for his poor response to the silent protest. 'Regardless of what the joke was (or intended to be) you can't talk like that to people. Dumb move,' she tweeted. However a fellow comedian, Chris Wainhouse, responded to the tweets in defence of Mr Badran. 'The joke in question isn't even about rape. It was about people being being stereotyped,' he wrote. A fellow comedian, Chris Wainhouse, responded to a series of tweets in defence of Mr Badran . Ms Devlin says she is seeking an apology from the comedian.

Creative subjects are being squeezed out of schools due to the government's new league table measure. Headteachers are pushing pupils to take more GCSEs in English Baccalaureate subjects, according to experts. From next year, the government's Progress 8 league table measure will replace the five A* to C benchmark. Failure to meet the target could leave schools at risk of takeover or even closure. Experts say pupils are being pushed into more GCSEs in the so-called English Baccalaureate subjects (file picture) Students' performance will be tracked in eight subjects split into three groups: English and maths, which will be given double weighting; three EBac subjects (sciences, computer science, geography, history and languages) and three optional subjects. But the Design and Technology Association (DATA) has warned that schools are urging students to take further EBac subjects as 'optional subjects', leaving them less time to pursue creative interests. DATA chief executive, Richard Green, told the Times Educational Supplement: 'If a student is doing history then (schools) are advising them to take geography as well, and the same with sciences and languages. 'That then uses up the option categories, so you have all the other subjects competing for just one slot.' The National Society for Education in Art and Design said it was also aware of creative subjects being affected. Students' performance will be tracked in eight subjects split into three groups (file picture)

An oral surgeon has given up his license and sold his practice after he was accused of being under the influence of medications when he pulled the wrong teeth from two patients and operated on the wrong side of a patient's mouth, officials said. Dr Gary Dean Burnidge, 75, voluntarily surrendered his license to the state's dental board last month. The board began investigating after an internal complaint filed in October said Burnidge slurred his speech and drooled while operating on a patient. According to the complaint, he extracted the wrong teeth from two patients and attempted to extract a tooth without numbing the area first. A 75-year-old dentist, who is believed to have extracted the wrong teeth from two patients, surrendered his license in Tulsa, Oklahoma (stock image) Burnidge also is accused of giving patients too much anesthesia, requiring a procedure to restore their blood oxygen levels. The dental board said that during its investigation it discovered that Burnidge was purchasing controlled medications from the pharmacy next door, including Valium, Neurotonin and Phenergan, which can be used as a sedative. According to an order by the board, the dentist asked his staff to give him injections that they believe made him impaired. The board asked to see several patient files, but they were not available. According to the order, staff reported seeing Burnidge's wife in the office throwing away files. Susan Rogers, the board's executive director, described Burnidge as a well-respected dentist. She said he told the board he had health problems and was planning retirement soon. A call to Burnidge's former practice to seek comment on the allegations rang unanswered and there was no way to leave a message.

A garbage collector outside Atlanta has been sentenced to 30 days in prison for starting his work too early. Kevin McGill, 48, who works for Waste Management Inc, took a guilty plea deal after violating an ordinance in Sandy Springs, north of Atlanta, that bans collections before 7am. He turned 48 on Friday, but reported to a local jail at 6pm after being allowed to serve his time on the weekends so he can still work collecting wealthy residents' trash so he can support his wife and two children. The bin collector didn't have a lawyer when he was sentenced and has filed a motion to withdraw his plea, McGill's new attorney Kimberly Bandoh told Daily Mail Online. Kevin McGill, 48, will serve 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to picking up trash in Sandy Springs, Georgia, before 7am . However, the Court Chief Solicitor Bill Riley asked for a 30 day sentence for the offense of picking up trash around 5am in the suburb and the judge granted the stiff penalty. He was sentenced on February 20th at the local courthouse, the running of which has been handed over to private contractors by the city. There were no real negotiations between her client and Mr Riley when he was sentenced, Ms Bandoh told Daily Mail Online, adding that the solicitor had claimed the offense meant 'automatic jail time'. Mr Riley has stood by the request for jail and says that 'fines don't seem to work' and 'The only thing that seems to stop the activity is actually going to jail.' The solicitor said that residents of Sandy Springs, which include business executives for Delta Air Lines and other major companies, begin calling 9-1-1 when they hear early garbage men, according to WSPA. He said it was the right decision to punish McGill, who had only been on the route for three months, rather than his company, which the city has contracted to pick up its residents' trash. Sandy Springs solicitor Bill Riley said that it was the right decision to punish McGill, rather than his company, Waste Management . McGill is now working with lawyer Kimberly Bandon (pictured) and has filed a motion to withdraw his guilty plea . The prosecutor said that early garbage collections are a nuisance to residents who want to sleep and that his office had met with Waste Management after previously punishing its employees for violating the ordinance. A representative for the company went to the courthouse with McGill, who expected to be ordered to pay up to a $1000 fine, Ms Bandoh said. Marla Prince, a spokesperson for for the company, told DailyMail Online that 'The incident with WM employee Kevin McGill is very unfortunate and we are currently working with WM Legal Counsel to resolve the situation'. She said she had not heard of a driver going to jail for a similar incident in the firm's South Atlantic area of Georgia and the Carolinas. Ms Prince added that Waste Management, which operates throughout the US and reported $14billion in revenue in 2014, would

Summary: Kevin McGill, 48, violated ordinance banning trash collection before 7am . He will spend this weekend and the next 13 in jail after receiving 30 days .

One of the biggest concerns for owners of electric cars is that their battery could run out at any moment, leaving them stranded with no recharging station nearby. So-called 'range anxiety' is a fear that has apparently plagued some owners of Tesla’s Model S vehicle, but now CEO Elon Musk has revealed he has a solution. In a tweet he said he would reveal a way to tackle the issue at a conference on Thursday, and while no further details are known, it seems the smart money may be on either navigation software that shows the best route to a charging station or an update that boosts the car's battery power. California-based Tesla is to announce a software update on Friday. Elon Musk revealed it would be for the 'entire Model S fleet' in a tweet. This suggests it may be a trick to boost the battery power of the car (Model S pictured in a promotional shot). Others have suggested it could be new turn by turn navigation software . In the Tweet Musk said: ‘Tesla press conf at 9am [Pacific Time, 4pm GMT] on Thurs. ‘About to end range anxiety … via OTA software update. ‘Affects entire Model S fleet.’ Running low on fuel and making a desperate search for the nearest station could soon be a thing of the past. Earlier this month Ford unveiled its latest app that not only shows how far you can travel on the power you have remaining, it bases its predictions on your unique driving style. The MyFord Mobile also lets drivers remotely access their vehicles meaning they can set the cabin temperature on a cold morning before they leave their house. The app was announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and currently works with a selection of Ford’s electric and hybrid cars. That Musk says this is a software update seemingly rules out one theory, namely more of Tesla’s ‘supercharger’ stations being added. However, the fact that it affects the entire Model S fleet may also pour cold water on the ‘turn by turn navigation’ theory. This is because not every car has the ability to have such a feature, so unless Musk is planning to upgrade those that are not with new hardware, this may seem unlikely. Several outlets have been reporting that the answer may lie in some trickery with the car’s software that can boost the battery power. In a survey for Consumer Reports in 2012, 77 per cent of respondents said limited range was their biggest concern with electric cars. The official range of the Model S at the moment is up to 310 miles (500km), which is apparently not enough to quell range anxiety for some drivers. That Musk says in his tweet (shown) this is a software update seemingly rules out one theory, namely more of Tesla’s ‘supercharger’ stations being added. However, the fact that it affects the entire Model S fleet may also pour cold water on the ‘turn by turn navigation’ theory - as not all the cars have this ability . Only

Summary: California-based Tesla is to announce a software update on Friday . Elon Musk revealed it would be for the 'entire Model S fleet' in a tweet . This suggests it may be a trick to boost the battery power of the car . Others have suggested it could be new turn by turn navigation software . This would direct drivers to charging stations when running low on charge . The goal is to reduce the fear of the car's dying - known as 'range anxiety'


Barack Obama has hailed US gang drama The Wire as 'one of the greatest pieces of art in the last couple of decades' during an interview with its creator. The President told David Simon he was a huge fan of the hit HBO series about life in drug-plagued Baltimore, during a chat about criminal justice reform. A video of the 12-minute conversation, about the need to reduce the incarceration of nonviolent drug offenders, was shown at the Bipartisan Criminal Justice Summit in Washington. Meeting: President Barack Obama talks to The Wire creator David Simon about the war on drugs . The president said people looking for solutions to the drug war need to 'humanize what so often, on the local news, is just a bunch of shadowy characters and tell their stories.' 'That's where the work you've done has been so important,' he told Mr Simon. 'There is an increasing realization on the left, but also on the right, politically, that what we're doing is counterproductive,' he said. Fan: President Obama hailed The Wire, starring Dominic West, Larry Gilliard Jr. and Wendell Pierce (pictured) as a great 'piece of art' High praise: President Obama said he was 'huge fan' of The Wire, starring officer James 'Jimmy' McNulty (Dominic West) and Detective William 'Bunk' Moreland (Wendell Pierce) pictured . 'Either from a libertarian perspective, the way we treat non-violent drug crimes is problematic, and from a fiscal perspective, it's breaking the bank, that you end up spending so much more on prison than you would with these kids being in school or even going to college, that it's counterproductive'. He spoke of people being turned into 'hardened criminals' while in prison, which created a cycle of them returning to jail. Disaffected: Obama said solutions to the drug war needed to 'humanize what so often, on the local news, is just a bunch of shadowy characters and tell their stories' which The Wire had helped with . Discussions: Barack Obama meets The Wire creator David Simon at the White House to discuss incarceration of drug offenders . 'When you break down why people aren't getting back into the labor force, even as jobs are being created, a big chunk of that is the young male population with felony histories. The Wire, which looked at the dark underbelly of the city of Baltimore, ran for five seasons on HBO. Each season focused on a different facet of the drugs trade in the Maryland city: the drug trade on the streets, the seaport system, corruption within the city government and bureaucracy, the school system, and the print news media. The series, which ran from 2002 to 2008 and became a huge cult hit, being hailed by many critics as the best television programme of the last decade or even of all time. 'So now where we have the opportunity to give them a pathway toward a responsible life, they're foreclosed. And that's counterproductive.' The Wire chronicled the effects of the drug war as it was waged in Maryland's largest city in the early 2000s, showing how

A man who passed himself off as a Hare Krishna 'guru' has been sentenced to 19 years in jail for repeatedly raping three teenage girls he turned into mesmerised sex slaves. Sean O'Neil, an Australian 43-year-old computer programmer, was found guilty of multiple rape and of corrupting minors by a closed-door appeals court in the southern French city of Aix-en-Provence on Monday. O'Neil forced a total of four teenage girls to live as naked slaves in his French Riviera apartment in the town of Valbonne, where he subjected them to pornographic photo sessions and made them recite the Hare Krishna mantra 1,700 times a day. Sean O'Neil, an Australian 43-year-old computer programmer, was sentenced to 19 years in jail after being found guilty of multiple rape and of corrupting minors on Monday . The three girls he regularly raped between 2009 and 2010 while they were aged around 15 and made psychologically dependent on the Australian. The court rejected O'Neil's argument that the sex was consensual to confirm a lower court's October 2013 conviction, and to lengthen an original sentence of 15 years in prison. It also barred him from re-entering France once he had served his time. O'Neil forced a total of four teenage girls to live as naked slaves in his French Riviera apartment in the town of Valbonne, where he subjected them to pornographic photo sessions . One expert testified that the girls cooperated because they were in a trance-like state approaching 'hypnosis'. The victims described O'Neil as a 'guru' who urged them to recruit other young virgins of the same age with the aim of starting a commune in Australia. The crimes came to light in 2010 after one of the girls described what they were enduring to a school employee.

The frustrations of certain Scotland coaches appeared to boil over after their late defeat to Italy on Saturday afternoon. A picture from the Telegraph shows how a reinforced glass door in the Scotland coaches' booth at Murrayfield was smashed during the late 19-22 defeat to Italy. It is not known whether it was head coach Vern Cotter who smashed the door, which can only be accessed by coaching staff or the media, or one of his assistants. A reinforced glass door in the Scotland coaches' booth at Murrayfield was smashed following the defeat . A team spokesman failed to deny that a member of the coaching team had caused the damage after Scotland had given them numerous reasons to get angry. Cotter concedes his 'message' is not getting through to his players after watching them crash to their third RBS 6 Nations defeat on the spin. The Dark Blues' faces were left matching their crimson red change strip as they threw away victory against Italy with a late collapse - leaving them near certainties to take home the Wooden Spoon. Having struggled to deal with the Azzurri's driving mauls and referee George Clancy's pedantic meddling at the scrum, the Scots found themselves a man light as debutant lock Ben Toolis was sin-binned two minutes from time. Alberto De Marchi celebrates after beating Scotland during the RBS Six Nations match at Murrayfield stadium . And the visitors to Murrayfield clinched a 22-19 victory when Clancy's patience finally ran out as he awarded a penalty try after Scotland resorted to another infringement just inches from their own goal-line in a desperate bid to halt Italy's last-gasp surge. It was the 14th foul committed by Cotter's men and came after penalty-littered defeats to France and Wales.

Chris Froome is scheduled for an early-season duel with his three main rivals for the 2015 Tour de France title - Alberto Contador, Nairo Quintana and Vincenzo Nibali - at the Tirreno-Adriatico stage race later this month. Tinkoff-Saxo boss Oleg Tinkov had hoped the quartet would line-up in all three Grand Tours - of France, Italy and Spain. That idea did not take off, but now Tinkov has his wish of seeing the four race each other before the Tour after organisers RCS Sport announced their participation in the Italy-based Tirreno-Adriatico race, which takes place from March 11 to 17. Chris Froome celebrates on the podium after winning the 61st Tour of Andalusia on February 21, 2015 . Froome will face his main rivals for the Tour de France in Italy; one of which is Vincenzo Nibali (pictured) The prospect of 2014 Tour de France winner Nibali competing is by no means certain, though, after the UCI, cycling's world governing body, asked its licence commission to withdraw the licence of his Astana team. If Nibali does take part it will be the first time the dominant four Grand Tour winners have all raced in the same WorldTour event, RCS Sport said. Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) is the defending champion of the 'Race of the Two Seas' and has won all three Grand Tours, as has Nibali, who won the 2012 and 2013 Tirreno-Adriatico. Froome, the 2013 Tour de France winner, will lead a Team Sky squad which is also slated to include Elia Viviani. The Italian will contest the sprints against Mark Cavendish (Etixx-QuickStep) and Marcel Kittel (Team Giant-Alpecin), who has taken the Briton's mantle as the world's top sprinter in recent seasons.

The original suspect in the murder of an America’s Next Top Model contestant and three others was scheduled to be ejected from the US in 2012 but was granted deferred deportation under President Obama’s amnesty policy, it was revealed today. Emmanuel Jesus Rangel-Hernandez, 19, was arrested last month in connection to a triple-homicide in Charlotte, North Carolina, that claimed the lives of aspiring model Mirjana Puhar, 19, her 23-year-old boyfriend Jonathan Alvarado, and 21-year-old Jusmar Isiah Gonzaga-Garcia. His alleged accomplice, 19-year-old David Ezequel Lopez, was taken into custody Thursday and jailed on three counts of first-degree murder. Scroll down for video . Dreamer: Emmanuel Jesus Rangel (right), 19, charged with the murder of America's Next Top Model contestant Mirjana Puhar (right), was supposed to be deported in 2012 but was granted amnesty . According to a statement released by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, and GOP Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Rangel was permitted to stay in the country under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Records indicate Rangel, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, was placed in the removal process by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement after being charged with drug violations in March 2012. On December 18, 2012, however, removal proceedings were dismissed because Rangel was approved for deferred action under the DACA policy, despite his suspected affiliation with a street gang, of which ICE was allegedly aware. 'Accomplice': Second suspect David Lopez, 19, charged with three counts of first-degree murder in deaths of Mirjana Puhar, Jonathan Alvarado and Jusmar Isiah Gonzaga-Garcia . ‘This raises serious concerns about USCIS’s review and approval of other DACA applicants and points to potential vulnerabilities in the system’ Senators Grassley and Tillis wrote in a letter sent in February to the Department of Homeland Security requesting information about Rangel’s status. Under the amnesty program, which was enacted by President Obama's executive action, more than 675,000 young immigrants since August 2012 have been granted a work permit and reprieve from deportation. Republicans have long decried Obama's executive immigration as a form of backdoor amnesty that circumvents Congress. Homeland Security Department documents say participation in the program can be revoked at any time. US Citizenship and Immigration Services, which approves applications, reported to the House Judiciary Committee last year the government stripped that protection from 113 people as of August. The revocations included one case of gang membership, one aggravated assault, 11 driving-under-the-influence cases and 11 errors by USCIS, according to the committee. As recently as last week, 15 criminal immigrants protected form deportation under DACA were arrested in raid carried out by federal agents. On Thursday, a second suspect, David Ezequel Lopez, 19, was charged with killing the former America's Next Top Model contestant, her boyfriend and another man, in what police were calling a drug-related attack. Lopez voluntarily came to police headquarters to be interviewed. He was then transported to the Mecklenburg County Jail. In late February, investigators arrested 19-year-old Rangel and charged him with the slayings, which have been described as drug-related. Rangel has also been charged in a

Rangel, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, was permitted to stay in US under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals in 2012 . The teen was granted amnesty under Obama's program despite his criminal record .

'Now five years in this job teaches you some things. I know what this role needs - and frankly, I don't think Ed Miliband has it,' he said. 'Some might say "Don't make this personal", but when it comes to who's prime minister, the personal is national. 'The guy who forgot to mention the deficit could be the one in charge of our whole economy. 'The man who is too weak to stand up to the trade unions at home could be the one facing down our enemies abroad. 'The leader who thinks leadership is climbing aboard the latest bandwagon - he could be the one taking the make-or-break calls in the middle of the night.'

He said that under Mr Miliband, Labour was no longer the party of working people, having betrayed its traditional values. 'The truth is that Miliband's Labour Party isn't about liberating working people - it's about telling you what to do,' he said. 'The same old condescending, bossy, interfering, we-know-best attitude of the Hampstead socialist down the ages.' On the NHS, he acknowledged that gaining access to healthcare services outside normal working hours was 'too hard' but pledged that would change under a Conservative government. 'For years it's

Louis van Gaal believes he retains the full backing of the Glazer family despite a difficult first year in charge of Manchester United. The next five matches will have a big bearing on whether Van Gaal's maiden season at the club will be regarded as a success or failure. United are two points inside the top four with 10 matches to go and after Sunday's game against Tottenham, they face Liverpool, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Chelsea. Louis van Gaal is targeting second place in the Barclays Premier League with a late push in the run-in . The Manchester United manager believes catching local rivals Manchester City is an achievable target . Despite a run of three defeats in 23 matches, some supporters have complained about a lack of tempo, flair and width from Van Gaal's side. But, crucially, the United boss thinks he still has the support of the Glazer family, who own the club, and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward. 'I have faith that I can complete my three years,' the United manager said. 'I think they are pleased with my way of managing the club.' Van Gaal proudly recalled the long list of successes to support his point at a press conference on Friday. The Dutchman reminded those present that he had won silverware in his first season at Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Ryan Giggs and Van Gaal haven't had the greatest season but are still well in with a chance of a top four spot . The 63-year-old also recalled the fact that he won the 2008-09 Eredivisie with AZ Alkmaar a year after finishing 11th. 'I said I will (leave) but the (AZ) players came to my house to ask me to stay, and the board also,' he said. 'Then we were the champion.' Van Gaal accepts it will be 'very difficult' to win a trophy in his maiden year in England. United are out of the FA Cup following their quarter-final defeat to Arsenal and they are 10 points behind Chelsea, who have a match in hand. Van Gaal's sole task is bringing Champions League football back to Old Trafford. The Dutchman has not contemplated what failure would cost United. 'No. I don't think I am here to think about the financial consequences. That is Ed Woodward. I am here to manage the professional football department of Manchester United,' Van Gaal said. United are facing a difficult run following their FA Cup exit at the hands of Arsenal last Monday . Van Gaal has been criticised for his 'long ball' tactics but insists the club support his philosophy . 'I am here because of my qualities and my philosophy. That we have spoken about in our first sessions with each other, Ed Woodward and myself. After that I have spoken with the Glazers. Because of those discussions I am here now. 'I am not thinking of the consequences if we are not in the first four. It is very bad for the club. But why do we have to speak about things that are not happening

Summary: Louis van Gaal says Manchester United trust in his philosophy . The Dutchman has struggled in his first season in charge . But Van Gaal defended his record and insists the club will stick with him .
