Thierry Henry has spoken about former Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi's ego and insists it is only natural for someone so talented to know he is that good. Messi put on a masterclass against Manchester City as he nutmegged James Milner and Fernandinho, and was only denied his ninth goal of the tournament by the brilliant Joe Hart. Messi is often described as humble when compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, but Henry feels the Argentina captain having an ego is far from 'a bad thing'. Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has spoken about former Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi's ego . Messi put on a masterclass against Manchester City on Wednesday night and only Joe Hart denied him . Messi was outstanding against City at the Nou Camp as he proved up there as the world's best footballer . 'I'm sad for him, and upset because people doubt him sometimes,' said Sky Sports pundit Henry. 'They doubt him. How can you doubt a guy like that? 'He put himself on a level where it's impossible for me to hear people doubting this man. What he has done we should all enjoy the guy, like we did tonight. It is a pleasure. 'He has an ego. Of course he has an ego. Do you think you do that without having an ego? It's not a bad thing. Having an ego is not a bad thing. Knowing that you are good. You need that. 'Let's all be honest. You need that. He just plays. If you ask him to play with you now just outside the dressing room, he will just want to have fun, perform and be the best out there.' Former Arsenal and Barcelona striker Henry was speaking on Sky Sports as a pundit for the match . Lineker feels Messi having an ego is 'not a bad thing' as the Barca star should know how good he is . Messi might well be priceless as the Barcelona maestro yet again demonstrated his skills at the Nou Camp . It was an assist from Messi that created the game's only goal against City as Ivan Rakitic was found in space to lob goalkeeper Hart in the 31st minute. Messi's nutmegs left Milner on his backside, Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola covering his face, Gary Neville labelling it 'barbaric' and Twitter reacting to the maestro's masterclass. Among those was Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker, who went one further than just settling the debate about who is better between Messi and Real Madrid's Ronaldo. 'Messi is indisputably the greatest player ever to don a pair of football boots,' former England striker Lineker tweeted. 'Don't even attempt to argue the point. 'A measure of Messi's greatness is that he makes world class players like [Sergio] Aguero and [Luis] Suarez look distinctly ordinary by comparison.' England legend Gary Lineker settled the argument of who's better between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo .

A spectator has been killed during a horror crash at the infamous Nurburgring circuit in Germany after a British racing driver's car flipped over the safety barrier and into the crowd. Driver Jann Mardenborough was cresting a hill in the northern part of the track when the car flipped upright, travelling 100ft before slamming into a barrier, sending it spinning into the air. It cleared the 12ft wire mesh surrounding the circuit and landed in the crowd, fatally injuring one spectator, who has yet to be identified. Scroll down for video . A spectator was tragically killed at the Nurburgring in Germany today after a British racing driver's car flipped over on the crest of a hill before plouging into a safety barrier . The racing Nissan travelled 100ft with its nose pointing into the air before hitting a crash barrier, sending it flipping over the protective fencing and into the spectator area . The Nurburgring is notorious for driver fatalities as most of its corners are blind and there is no run-off area, meaning most cars are only stopped when they crash into something . Following the crash the race was abandoned, and officials are now investigating what caused the car to flip . Mardenborough is a 23-year-old who is currently competing in the World Endurance Championship . The Nurburgring is well known for its fatal crashes, with track regulars estimating that anywhere between three and 12 people a year die on the 12.9 mile Nordschleife, or 'Northern Loop' section. As of 2010 a total of 68 professional drivers had been recorded as killed on the track, with many more dying on popular open days during which members of the public are invited to drive the circuit. A vast majority of the corners are blind, often involve hills, and have few run-off areas, meaning drivers are usually stopped only when they hit crash barriers. Part of the track was used to hold Formula 1 races until 1976 when Niki Lauda was left in critical condition following a crash which saw his car burst into flames before being hit by two other drivers. The track also has several sections in which spectators are allowed close to the track. Despite this, accidents involving fans are rare, though exact figures are not widely available. Jann Mardenborough was competing in the VLN1 event when his Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 flipped up in the air as it crested a rise in the circuit. A VLN statement read: 'The opening round of the VLN Endurance Championship at the Nurburgring was marred by an accident on Saturday which injured several spectators. While there are no official figures on deaths at the Nurburgring, track regulars estimate the between three and 12 people die there every year . From the time the track opened until 2010, 68 racing drivers have died there during events. Part of the track was used for Formula 1 racing, until Nikki Lauda was nearly killed during a crash there in 1976 . 'One of the spectators died, despite the immediate actions of the rescue crew

Summary: Horror rash at Nurburgring during endurance race kills one spectator . Jann Mardenborough's car flipped up into the air during VLN1 event . Brit's Nissan landed in a crowd of people after flipping over safety fence . Track known for lethal crashes, but accidents with spectators are rare .


Beaming with joy, Michael Moloney celebrates his first birthday – a day his mother thought she would never see. But her little boy defied the odds and doctors' warnings that he had no chance of survival. Michelle Moloney was 18 weeks into her pregnancy when she felt his first kick. Hours later, joy turned to alarm as her waters broke. Michael was eventually born at 26 weeks weighing just 1lb 12oz at University Hospital in Coventry . Mrs Moloney, 38, and her 36-year-old husband Scott with Lily, 4, Patrick, 2, and baby Michael . Doctors said she was likely to miscarry within ten days if she did not accept their offer to induce labour as a way to end the pregnancy. But she refused, and managed to stave off labour for eight more weeks. Michael was eventually born at 26 weeks weighing just 1lb 12oz. Despite being premature he is now thriving, and the family held a birthday party for him on Thursday. Mrs Moloney, 38, and her 36-year-old husband Scott, a project manager at a car firm, told the Mail how their 'emotional rollercoaster' began in January last year. 'I felt my baby kick in the early hours,' said Mrs Moloney, from Coventry. 'It was such a definite kick – the reassurance that every expectant mum longs for. Just a few hours later, my waters broke. I felt terrified.' Michael was born in the breech position and medics battled for 20 minutes to revive him - he has now celebrated his first birthday . Baby michael smiling with the toy caterpillar that he has been pictured with since his birth . Doctors said they could either induce labour or let nature take its course in up to ten days . Doctors at University Hospital Coventry said she had too little amniotic fluid, which is vital for the baby's development. The couple, also parents to Lilly, four, and two-year-old Patrick, were given the agonising news they were losing their child. 'It was absolutely devastating', Mrs Moloney said. 'The baby was very scrunched up and very tiny.' Doctors said they could either induce labour or let nature take its course in up to ten days. 'I could feel my baby move,' said Mrs Moloney. 'There was no way I could go through with an induction.' She went home expecting to miscarry but the pregnancy kept progressing. At 24 weeks she was admitted to the hospital, where she stayed until she went into labour. Michael was born in the breech position and medics battled for 20 minutes to revive him. Mrs Moloney said: 'Michael had lung damage. It was touch and go in the early days.' She added: 'He's a miracle. I'm so thankful we have our little boy.' A spokesman for the hospital said: 'We always consider the best interests of the baby.'

Summary: Doctors told Michelle Moloney she was likely to miscarry within ten days . Said she should accept their offer to induce labour to end pregnancy .

Andy Murray would ideally prefer to play Davis Cup quarter-final opponents France on grass - but he recognises the need for a strong atmosphere after an emotional victory over the United States. Proud Scotsman Murray admitted playing in front of a capacity 7,500 crowd at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow was among his best experiences in tennis after his straight-sets win over John Isner helped Great Britain into an unassailable 3-1 lead. The reward for the thrilling World Group first-round victory is a last-eight home tie with France on July 17-19, at the end of the grass-court season. Andy Murray would prefer Great Britain's Davis Cup tie with France to be played on grass in July . Great Britain received brilliant support at Glasgow's Emirates Arena as they beat the United States . All three days of Davis Cup action at the Emirates Arena were sold out in a matter of minutes . Captain Leon Smith will discuss possible venues with both his team and the Lawn Tennis Association and Murray would prefer to play on grass. 'It's a surface I really like, it's a good surface for Dom (Inglot) as well with his serve,' the 2013 Wimbledon champion said. 'I wouldn't say the French players love the grass outside of (Jo-Wilfried) Tsonga. He would be their best player on the grass. I don't think (Gael) Monfils is as comfortable on that surface, (Gilles) Simon I don't think is that comfortable on it. (Richard) Gasquet I think can play well but I don't think he has played amazing in Davis Cup in the past. Smith embraces Murray after the Scot's straight sets win secured GB's quarter-final berth . Murray is the centre of attention after securing a tie against France . 'Grass might be a good surface but we will have to see because playing in front of a crowd like this makes a difference and it helps. If we can't guarantee that at a grass venue then maybe it makes sense to play it at a venue where we can get that. 'Having the crowd with you makes a big difference. For some reason people think in tennis that playing in front of a home crowd is crippling in a way and makes people incredibly nervous. 'It can make you nervous but if you look at the Olympics, London was our best Olympics ever and there was a reason for that. The crowd makes a big difference. 'I don't have an ideal venue. It's not up to me. The atmosphere here was the best I have played in, and indoor venues have better noise, but at that time of the year we also have the option of playing outdoors.'

Summary: Great Britain beat the United States 3-2 in Davis Cup in Glasgow . They will now play France in the quarter-finals on July 17-19 . The tie is likely to be played on grass but Wimbledon is ruled out . Andy Murray admitted he would prefer the tie on grass rather than indoor .

A job advert for a council-owned company says it would be an advantage to speak Polish – in Wales. The £6.50-an-hour jobs are for 'recycling operatives' at waste company Cwm Environmental, in Carmarthen, which is owned by Labour-led Carmarthenshire County Council. The advert says: 'The ability to speak and understand Polish is an advantage but not essential.' There is no mention of speaking Welsh. Council-owned waste management company Cwm Environmental in Carmarthen, Wales, has put out a job advert in which it states: 'The ability to speak and understand Polish is an advantage but not essential' However, 30 of Cwm's 100 workers are from Eastern Europe, mostly Poland. Cwm said it made sense for them to be able to communicate in Polish for health and safety reasons. The council said the firm was entirely responsible for recruitment. But Welsh Tories said local workers were being disadvantaged. A spokesman for the Welsh Conservatives said: 'This is an extraordinary attempt by a Labour-run council to recruit migrant workers, at the likely expense of local jobseekers who speak English or Welsh. 'Ed Miliband promised to ban recruitment agencies which try to undercut local wages by hiring only migrant workers, yet here is a Labour-led council aiming a job advert at Polish speakers - with such rank hypocrisy, it's no wonder voters can't trust Ed Miliband on immigration. 'Putting local workers at a competitive disadvantage and exploiting foreign workers is clearly beyond the pale.' Official figures show more than 40 per cent of the population of Carmarthenshire speak Welsh as well as English - but there is no mention of speaking Welsh in the advert. Waste firm Cwm Environmental, in Carmarthen, Wales, (above) put out the advert for 'recycling operatives'. The company said it made sense for staff to be able to communicate in Polish for health and safety reasons . A spokesperson for Welsh nationalist party Plaid Cymru said: 'We are saddened that the council does not always place the same emphasis on the need to be able to communicate through the medium of Welsh when delivering public services.' The council insists it has no involvement in the everyday running of the company. John Rees, managing director of Cwm, said: 'We are an arms' length company and the council could not interfere in operational matters like recruitment policy. 'Around 30 of our 100 workers are from eastern Europe, the great majority from Poland. They are very good and reliable workers. 'There are health and safety considerations and it makes sense for workers to be able to communicate in Polish.'

Summary: Council-owned company has put job advert out for 'recycling operatives' Advert says: 'The ability to speak and understand Polish is an advantage' Waste firm based in Wales but ad states no preference for Welsh speakers .


Creating an aircraft is no small feat and the Virgin team have captured the process in an impressive three-minute video. Described as evolution in air travel, the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner was created as a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the first ever Virgin Atlantic flight in 1984. The 'Birthday Girl' is shown being constructed: from the building of its shell, to having seats installed ans paint applied; and the video shows the vast team needed to create a plane of this size. Described by Todd Nelp, the Vice President of European sales for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, as providing an unrivalled passenger experience, the Virgin Atlantic 787-9 has some interesting quirks to enhance guests' flights.

In the closing stages of the RBS 6 Nations’ greatest day, Ben Youngs played like a true champion. But that status eluded him once again — and he knew exactly why. England’s scrum-half had tormented France during the gloriously, bewilderingly compelling match which provided a pulsating finale to Super Saturday. But a fourth successive year as runners-up left the national team shattered, with their gallant role in epic sporting drama serving as meagre consolation. England fell just six points short of being crowned Six Nations champions . A 55-35 victory over France was not enough for England to overhaul Ireland at the top of the standings . And though Youngs had been the catalyst for a daring charge towards the unlikely target of a 26-point winning margin with his two tries, countless line-breaks and dashing creativity, collective disappointment eclipsed any personal pride. As participants and observers alike tried to make sense of a 90-point, 12-try edition of ‘Le Crunch’ which often defied logic, the devastated man of the match pinpointed why there were no medals around English necks. ‘I don’t think the Six Nations title was lost today, it was lost last week, when we missed too many chances,’ he said, in reference to the 25-13 victory over Scotland seven days earlier. ‘We should have been way ahead on points difference going into this game.’ Ben Youngs believes England lost the Six Nations title last week when they only beat Scotland 25-13 . England had many chances to beat Scotland by a bigger margin last weekend at Twickenham . Correct. It would have deprived a captivated audience of an absorbing spectacle spanning three high-octane games, but England could have made Saturday’s fixtures in Rome and Edinburgh all but irrelevant if they hadn’t squandered a raft of try-scoring openings in round four. If Stuart Lancaster’s men had merely needed to win, they would not have scorched the earth as they did time and again in front of a fervent crowd, but it is highly likely they would have secured their prize. Instead, they ran amok to amass a record total against their cross-Channel rivals, only to be left six points short and inches from glory as a rolling maul at the end threatened to bring the house down until referee Nigel Owens penalised the hosts to signal the dying of the light. After familiar English dejection and an outpouring of Irish euphoria as Joe Schmidt’s team retained their title on points difference, the inquests began at Twickenham. George North's inspired performance helped Wales to a 61-20 win over Italy to put them in with a shout . Ireland thrashed Scotland 40-10 at Murrayfield to overhaul Wales, and England fell short in their response . Circumstances demanded an adventurous streak and the upshot was seven tries against opponents who had conceded just two in their previous four games. A torrent of quick lineouts and tapped penalties, heads-up running and off-loading made for a stirring sight but, while the real damage had been done a week before, there were also fresh faults. For all his

Summary: England missed out on winning the Six Nations title by six points . A 20-point victory over France was not enough to clinch championship . Stuart Lancaster's side finished runners-up for the fourth straight year . Ben Youngs says championship was lost against Scotland last week . England's performance provides plenty of optimism for World Cup .


Many pregnant women worry about sleepless nights and how they will juggle the demands of a newborn with daily life. But for Karla Kirby, 38, her pregnancy is simply filled with gleeful anticipation of giving her new baby away. For the chef, who lives in north Lincolnshire, is currently pregnant with her eleventh child, and as a surrogate mother, has already waved goodbye to ten biological children of her own. Karla Kirby with two of her own children, Jordan and Joshua, and some of the children she ahs given birth to as a surrogate mother . In an interview with The Mirror, Karla said she decided to become a surrogate as she loved motherhood and was keen to help other people have a family of their own. With two children of her own, and in her late teens, she overheard a conversation where people were discussing surrogacy and decided to contact the organisation Childlessness Overcome Through Surrogacy (COTS) to find out more. After a counselling session to make sure she was ready, she opted to be a 'straight surrogate' using her own eggs and the intended father's sperm which she artificially inseminated herself. Karla chose to help a couple where the wife was infertile, and became pregnant after the eighth attempt, with her first surrogate child, Ethan, in 2001. She said seeing the emotion on the new parents' faces when she handed over the baby helped her realise she had made the right decision and 18 months later, became a surrogate again, going on to give birth to Nia in 2002 and Carey in 2003. Her own two children, who were now aged six and seven, always knew the children she was carrying would not be part of their family and there was no stopping her. Karla (right) and her wife, Taz, with one of the surrogate children immediately after the birth . Close: Karla said she is aware Taz worries about her health and would like her to retire from surrogacy . 'I had Macey in 2005, Maddie in 2007, Tyler in 2008, George in 2009, Hayden in 2011, Saskia in 2013 and Oliver in 2014 - the parents all name their own babies,' she told The Mirror. Karla has bounced back quickly from each drug-free birth, although at 29 weeks pregnant, she is currently facing the prospect of delivering her 11th surrogate child via caesarian section due to a low lying placenta. Karla married her partner Taz last summer and praised her for her support during the last three pregnancies, although she said she was aware that her new wife would like her to retire from surrogacy. She said it was strange to know there were ten children out there who shared her genes and she kept in touch with some of them including George and Macey who were flower girl and pageboy at her wedding. However, she said while she was aware that each pregnancy brought with it additional health risks, she was not ready to give up. 'What I do helps to make people’s dreams come true -

Sweden's top flight players earn too much money and youngsters should see the league as a chance to develop rather than become rich, according to Helsingborg manager Henrik Larsson. The former Celtic, Barcelona and Manchester United striker, who started and ended his career at Helsingborg, was speaking at a media day to launch the 2015 Allsvenskan season, with his side kicking off at Kalmar on April 4. Appointed by Helsingborg last November, Golden Boot winner Larsson took over at a club that, although known as a powerhouse in Swedish football, found itself struggling financially. Former Celtic and Barcelona striker Henrik Larsson now manages at his former club side Helsingborg . To arrest the alarming economic slide, Larsson decided the fat wage packets paid by the club would be a thing of the past. With Helsingborg's blessing, he introduced a salary cap reported to be a modest 40,000 Swedish crowns ($4,700) a month -- about half the average wage in the Swedish top flight. 'I won't comment on the sums, but I will say that it's not the wages that Helsingborg used to pay in the past,' Larsson told Reuters. The former Sweden international gets emotional during his last playing appearance for Helsingborg in 2009 . 'I don't mind players earning money, but it should mean at the same time that the club is doing good. 'If the club is doing good, the club is getting income, then the club can share it with the players. But when the situation is not going according to plan, you have to look at the financial bit and see what you can change.' Larsson learned his trade with Helsingborg before traveling the well-worn path taken by Swedish players to the Dutch league, joining Feyenoord before moving to Celtic and winning global recognition, and no shortage of riches, for his scoring feats. Larsson won four Scottish league titles with Celtic and two La Liga titles at Barcelona plus the 2006 Champions League. The 43-year-old finds the back of the net for Sweden in the 2006 World Cup group stage clash with England . Larsson was a prolific scorer for club and country, celebrating against England back in 2006 . He recommended that young Allsvenskan players seeking to emulate his success and that of former Malmo striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic should play to develop their game, rather than their bank account. 'I think that the average wage in Sweden is too high. They won't be financially independent from the money they earn here (Helsingborg). 'They earn good money, but I think there has to be the desire to develop, to go on to a bigger league and earn your money there.' Helsingborg's wage cap might have restricted his options a little but Larsson said the chance to work with one of Europe's great finishers - himself - may have helped attract players. 'It's always difficult, but there are always players that have the desire to do something with their football,' the 43-year-old said. Larsson is a club legend at Celtic, seen here lifting the 2004 SPL title with the

Summary: Former Celtic and Barcelona star manages back in his homeland Sweden . The Helsingborg manager believes young players earn too much . Larsson introduced a salary cap for the club to begin in the 2015 season .


An investigation into the shark meat sold at fish and chips stores has found the majority of retailers are mislabelling their produce. Eleven of the 23 Melbourne fish and chips shops examined by Greenpeace were found to be selling the overfished school shark despite advertising it as the sustainable gummy shark or 'flake' - a term that is only meant to be used for gummy shark or New Zealand's similar rig shark. Less than half of the stores, which had samples of their raw fillets DNA tested by the University of Canberra in September last year, were found to be accurately labelling their 'fish'. Greenpeace has investigated the shark species used by 23 Melbourne fish and chips shops as part of their campaig for restaurants to reveal the origin and type of their seafood . One of the restaurants labelling their fillets as gummy shark was found to be serving rig shark while another which was advertising flake was unable to be identified. 'Aussies are being sold 'fake' and chips, not flake and chips because of Australia's shoddy labelling laws,' campaigner Nathaniel Pelle said. 'Australians are being kept in the dark about where their seafood comes from, the type of fish they are eating, and how it reached their plate.' The results have formed part of the campaigning organisation's argument for the federal government to improve Australia's food labelling laws, demanding that they include a requirement for restaurants and take-away stores to declare the country of origin of their food. Eleven of the 23 Melbourne fish and chips shops examined by Greenpeace were found to be selling the overfished school shark (pictured) despite advertising it as gummy shark or flake . Greenpeace claims that current legislation does not require them to identify the fish type or origin. Its research further suggests that at least 80 per cent of the squid and octopus sold in Australia is caught overseas from overfished origins while two thirds of the popular fish type barramundi is brought in from Asia. Great concern has also been placed on the fate of many 'orange roughy' fish, which despite being managed through conservation efforts in Australia, is often sold under different names at various restaurants. Less than half of the stores, which had their raw fish DNA tested by the University of Canberra in September last year, were found to be accurately labelling their 'fish' as gummy shark (pictured) or flake . 'It is not possible for consumers to make an informed decision under these conditions — a situation that may result in negative environmental and health outcomes,' Ms Pelle said. 'Australians deserve labelling laws that tell us what fish we're eating, where it was caught and how it was caught.'

It's not known if she leaves the toilet seat up after she uses it, but Johnie the crocodile loves nothing more than a good soak in the tub. That's what was revealed in a recent video when the croc's owner Vicki Lowing from Melbourne captured bath time in her house. The video was uploaded to YouTube this week, and shows Lowing calling to 18-year-old freshwater croc Johnie who is 1.5 metres long and weighes 12kg. Scroll down for video . Bath time: 18-year-old freshwater croc Johnie is 1.5 metres long, weighes 12kg and loves a good soak in the tub . Johnie walks down through Vicki Lowing's house in Melbourne to get her daily bath . The 57-year-old nurse claims that the crocodiles she has had were always totally domesticated . With the sound of the bath being run in the background Johnie walks down through Lowing's house to the bathroom. 'Come on let's have a bath,' Lowing says. 'There's a girl. Get in that bath.

Shakhtar Donetsk ace Douglas Costa fights for the ball with David Alaba in the Champions League . Shakhtar midfielder Costa squares up to Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng at the Allianz Arena . He said: ‘I’d be really interested in moving to Chelsea – not only because everything Willian tells me about the club, but because I think that I’d be able to achieve everything I want having someone like Jose Mourinho by my side. ‘Since I left Brazil, I have worked with a marvellous coach (Mircea Lucescu) and got an idea of how much influence such a good professional can have in your football. ‘Now I think it’s time to try a new philosophy and I’m sure that Mourinho’s is the best around He’s always fighting for trophies.’ Costa and midfielder Franck Ribery vie for the ball during the UEFA Champions League second-leg . The current Premier League leaders had an increased offer of £18.7million for the Brazilian rejected in January, having already had an opening bid of £16million rejected days earlier. But because he was cup-tied for the Champions League the former Gremio man was only ever Mourinho's second choice. Instead Chelsea used the money raised from the sale of Andre Schurrle to sign Fiorentina midfielder Juan Cuadrado after activating the 26-year-old's £26.8million buy-out clause.

Evidence: This is a picture of the stolen Buddha statue containing the remains of meditating monk Zhanggong Liuquan and who villagers believe is currently in Holland . Three-hundreds Chinese villagers have signed a petition demanding the return of a 1,000-year-old relic containing a mummified monk. They believe that the Buddha statue on display in Holland is the same that was stolen from Spring Village, Fujian, in 1995, the People's Daily Online reports. Now they are calling on Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, to hand back their 'ancestral patriarch', Buddhist Zhanggong Liuquan. The letter states: 'In our hearts he is not a cultural display item to be placed in a museum but a living Buddha that is respected and revered by us all. 'This is a tradition that is deeply important to our way of life. He has looked over us for over 1000 years and is a testament to our historical and cultural heritage.' Locals say Zhanggong Liuquan did many good things for villagers such as curing illnesses free of charge. When he died, people made his body a statue before the body rotted, and then they placed the body in the memorial hall of the village ever since. The Buddhist has become a spiritual sustenance for locals. The statue was first displayed in Drents Museum in the Netherlands in 2014, causing the Cultural Relics Bureau to launch an investigation. Scroll down for video . They found photographs and historical records that supported the claim that it in fact belonged to a temple in the village. A Buddha statue (left) containing a mummified monk (right) was actually stolen from a village temple twenty years ago, Chinese experts believe . The private owner, who wants to stay anonymous, bought the relic in 1996 at a European market. The mummified remains were discovered at the end of February after he took the statue to the museum in the Netherlands to be restored. According to various Chinese media, the Dutch collector said he is willing to return the Buddha statue if it is proved to be the one stolen from Fujian. The mummified remains were discovered at the end of February after a private owner took the statue to Drents Museum at the Meander Medical Centre in the Netherlands for restoration. Above, the museum completes a CT scan . Erik Bruijn, an Buddhism expert, determined the mummy dated back to the 11th or 12th century and was Buddhist master Liuquan. Above, a scientist examines the base of the statue . The remains had been due to be put on display at the Hungarian Natural History Museum until May 2015. But they have now been pulled after people at Drents museum, which completed the CT scan and endoscopy, requested they were no longer used. The villagers now hope that the issue can be raised during the visit of the Dutch prime minister to China, paving the way for it to be repatriated to its rightful home.

Summary: Villagers say relic is their 'ancestral patriarch' who gives spiritual guidance . They plan to hand petition to Dutch PM in scheduled visit to China . Dutch collector vowed to give it back if proved it belongs to Fujian .

Mark Ward, 24, was stopped by police in 'death trap' BMW while driving his heavily pregnant sister . A car enthusiast has been banned from the roads after he was caught driving his heavily pregnant sister in his 'death trap' car. Mark Ward, 24, was stopped by officers on a coastal road in Prestatyn, North Wales, who found his modified BMW 328 had several defects including wires danging from the glove box. It also had interior door panels missing, a faulty horn, 'stretched and worn' balding tyres which were the wrong size and an anti-lock braking system that did not work. The car, which was scratched and dented, was seized and impounded and a further examination revealed it had a quick release steering wheel, to help get in and out of the vehicle quicker. Ward, of Thornhill in Cumbria, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving at Llandudno Magistrates Court, and was given a year-long ban with an extended test and 80 hours community work. But the unemployed welder, who was driving at around 28mph when he was pulled over in August last year, has hit out at his conviction, claiming police made 'an example' of him. Ward, who paid £550 for the car in 2013, is part of a car club that holds track races, car shows and family fun days and described himself as a 'competent driver' who would never put others at risk. He said: 'All of the modifications that were made to my car were done so for the shows and races that I take part in. I kept it in very good condition. 'On the day that I was pulled over I was driving within the speed limit. My sister Adele was heavily pregnant at the time and I would not put her or anyone else at risk by driving a car which I believed to be unsafe. I am a competent driver and I pay my tax, insurance and MOT. 'I don't drink or smoke or go out causing trouble. I have never been in trouble with the police before but now I have a criminal record for dangerous driving and it will ruin job prospects for me in the future. 'I am a massive car enthusiast and I have been modifying cars ever since I passed my driving test five years ago. Police found his modified BMW 328 had several defects after he was stopped on a coastal road in Prestatyn . His car had electrical wires dangling from where the glove box should have been and interior door panels missing. He also had a removable steering wheel to make getting in and out of the car easier (all pictured) 'My BMW had a number of modifications but it had passed its MOT two months before I was pulled over so I had no reason to assume it wasn't safe to drive. 'I used to use the car for shows, drifting and track races, so I removed the interior panels to make the car more lightweight and added a free-flowing exhaust to extract more power from the

Manuela Rodriguez attempted to take her own life using the power saw after allegedly murdering her granddaughter, Rose Herrera . A Chicago woman has been charged in the killing of her 7-month-old granddaughter, who had her throat cut with a power saw after being suffocated with a sock and beaten to death. Police have said the baby girl, Rose Herrera, was killed Monday, apparently because she would not stop crying. The Cook County State's Attorney's Office said Tuesday that the baby's 52-year-old grandmother, Manuela Rodriguez, was charged with first-degree murder in baby Rose's death. An autopsy concluded that the baby was already dead when her throat was slashed. It also found that not only was the girl struck in the head with an object, but that she also likely suffocated on a sock that was ‘placed in her mouth,’ according to a county medical examiner's log that includes the infant's death. Rodriguez, who police say attempted to take her own life after the attack, was taken to a hospital for treatment for injuries that were not considered life threatening. The State's Attorney's Office said Rodriguez is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday. Police were called at around 9.40am to a multi-family home in the 2800 block of South Avers Avenue in the Little Village section of Chicago, where they discovered the lifeless body of the infant with 'visible trauma.' The child was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators said before the suspect took a circular saw to the child's body, she tried to quiet her down by stuffing a sock down her throat. Following the killing, Manuela Rodriguez reportedly attempted to take her own life. She was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital in a stable condition. Residents of the quiet street in the predominantly Hispanic Little Village neighborhood where Rose was killed said the Rodriguez had some health problems but was always pleasant. Officers found the child, identified by family members as Rosie, after being called Monday morning to a building on the city's West Side (pictured) State child welfare officials said they had no record of ever being called to the brick home. Neighbors said the woman and her family were always polite and did not cause trouble. ‘She would help everybody and if you needed a glass of milk or something she would give it to you,’ said Maria Gentil, who has known Rodriguez for several years and said she was a doting grandmother. ‘When my mother died, she went up and down the street asking for money for her funeral.’ Ben Llamas works with the child's father and drove him to the scene. Mr Llamas told the Chicago Tribune the father was upset but did not talk about what happened. His friend had moved in to that house about a year ago with a woman, Llamas said. The couple had a young child. ‘At first, he was reluctant, but when the baby came, he fell in love,’ Llamas said. ‘He shows us pictures of that baby every day.’ Neighbors said several people live in the home where the baby

Summary: The baby, identified as Rose Herrera, was found by police with her throat cut inside Chicago home . Her 52-year-old grandmother, Manuela Rodriguez, was taken to a hospital with self-inflicted injuries after she tried to take her own life . Police said the woman tried to stuff a sock down the child's throat to make her stop crying before delivering multiple blows to her head . Autopsy showed Rose was already dead by the time her throat was cut with the saw .


FIFA presidential challenger Michael van Praag has labelled the decision to hand the 2026 World Cup rights in north America to Fox without a tender process as 'very strange'.

A British ISIS fighter, who used to live at home with his mother and work as a security guard in Morrisons, appears to be living as a hopeless loner in Syria. According to his social media page, Omar Hussain, has real difficulty completing the most basic daily jobs including peeling potatoes for his dinner and washing his clothes. Avidly recording his mundane life through an array of pictures and essays, Hussein seems to be a lonely, bored fighter, scrounging off ISIS without ever fighting on the frontline. Known as Abu Saeed al-Britani or Awlaki, Omar Hussain told BBC Newsnight last August: 'I hate the UK, the only reason why I would intend to return to the UK is when I want to come and plant a bomb somewhere.' Pathetic attempt: Hussain admits it took him an astonishing 50 minutes to peel just 10 minuscule potatoes. One social media user said his mum could peel all of Syria's potatoes in that time. The pampered extremist appears to have a sweet tooth, showing off his first Ferrero Rocher chocolate in years. The bearded jihadi creepily stands behind a group of well armed young girls, indoctrinated by the radical teachings of ISIS. The bumbling radical revealed how he battles with peeling potatoes without a peeler rather than fighting the Assad regime. In one photo, several measly peeled potatoes are shown, with Hussain admitting it took him an astonishing 50 minutes to peel just 10 minuscule potatoes. The failed fighter wrote: 'Life can't go on like this, I need a Sabi (servant) :(' He confessed that he had to cut up the potatoes the next morning after tiring himself out with the peeling process. One social media user mocked Hussein, joking that his mum could peel all of Syria's potatoes in the time it took him. His most recently difficulty has been washing his clothes, with the jihadi revealing how he gets flustered when it begins to rain and he has to bring his washing in from the line. A number of photos show the fighter doting on his pet cat, Lucy, who appears to be one of his only friends in Syria. According to his social media page, Omar Hussein, has real difficulty completing the most basic daily jobs including peeling potatoes for his dinner and washing his clothes. He has proudly shown off a few of his attempts at cooking. The 27-year-old wrote commented on one his thick sludge like inventions: 'I am, what the Oxford dictionary defines as, a Chef! Tuk (sic) me 37 mins 2 make, I'm proud of myself.' His most recently difficulty has been washing his clothes, with the jihadi revealing how he gets flustered when it begins to rain and he has to bring his washing in from the line. Such a task is a serious challenge for Hussein, who appears unused to such an easy task. Hussein has also posted a picture of his local gym, which he appears to have once visited. He also showed off his photos of himself lazily lounging by a swimming pool in

A 35-year-old graphic designer has taken a different approach in his search for love. The self-employed man, who would only like to be known as Dan, has distributed 'Girlfriend Wanted' posters around Melbourne. Dan - who describes himself as 'fit, sporty and educated' - is seeking an attractive woman aged between 23 to 35 who is 'genuine, caring and happy'.

A 35-year-old graphic designer, who would only like to be known as Dan, has distributed 'Girlfriend Wanted' posters around Melbourne . Dan told Daily Mail Australia he's been single for three months and decided to distribute his posters as other methods didn't work out. 'I had heard of other stories of people doing similar things so I thought "why not",' he said. 'I was not meeting anyone at bars and clubs. I had tried online and speed dating with mixed results and now I'm bored of it. It's also hard to meet people in general. Everyone is so busy with their face stuck to their phone. So I felt like I had to do something different. 'Basically I like to take chances and just give things a go. Hoping there's a girl out there who has a similar outlook on life and also thinks "why not".' So far Dan has received 60 emails from interested women from his poster but not one who ticks all the boxes. 'Some write just out of curiosity. Others are not what I'm asking for or are girls from interstate or overseas. Some write on behalf of friends. Some flake when it comes to meeting up,' he said. 'Girls appear to be wary of the poster. It's understandable but I also think of it as a bit of test. Is she willing to take a chance like me? Those that do, stand out to me and am thankful for it.' And this is a method Dan has tried before. 'Did it late last year. I met one girl and we dated twice but she only wanted to be friends after that. So I decided to try a second time this year with the poster,' he said. Although he admits he wants to 'settle down', Dan is still undecided about marriage and kids. 'I'm wanting a relationship so one step at a time,' he said.

If you like the idea of having a conversation with your pet cat then you better look away now. Flam, a cat in Nashville, Tennessee, may well be the first of its kind to have had a conversation with a human being. But sadly, as documented on video, the little chat didn't go down that well with the feline. In the clip is Penny Adams, a professional photographer who volunteers her time at the Cat Shoppe Rescue centre. Sitting on the floor, she announces to the camera that she is holding a cat-to-human language translator on her phone. Penny, who doesn't herself know what it is being translated by the app, activates the meowing sound and immediately Flam, who sits underneath a table, becomes noticeably intrigued. Penny announces to the camera that she is about to use a cat-to-human translator app on her phone . Jumping up, the feline negotiates a number of dumbbells on the floor before making its way towards Penny. With its tail poised, the cat maintains its eye-contact while lifting its paw and climbing up onto her leg. Suddenly it lashes out at her – opening its mouth to bare its teeth it strikes her with its paw. Intrigued, the cat approaches Penny with its tail poised and begins slowly climbing up her leg . Reacting by blocking the cat with her arm, Penny laughs in surprise as the insulted feline continues to bare its teeth before scuttling off. According to Penny, she had visited Kate Framke's home – Flam’s owner – to photograph her other cat Waffles for a fundraising calendar for The Cat Shoppe. After struggling to get Waffles’ attention with toys and treats, Penny used her human-to-cat translator app as a way of getting the cat to look at the camera. The cat, clearly insulted by what the human-to-cat translator app is saying, attacks Penny with its paw . Penny said: ‘It worked, but it also got an unusual reaction from Flam, who proceeded to walk up slowly and pop me in the head. We laughed so hard.’ She added: ‘Who knows what the app was really saying in cat voice, but he sure didn't like it.’ The Cat Shoppe is Nashville’s first feline-friendly shop that sells a number of cat-related products and also runs a non-profit cat rescue centre. Penny laughs in surprise as the cat continues to bare its teeth at her before scurrying off under the table .

Summary: The translator app talks to the cat in a series of meows . Intrigued, the cat approaches the woman and climbs her leg . Before pouncing at her with its paw and baring its teeth . The video was captured in Nashville, Tennessee, USA .

Ever wondered why we go grey or most men's beards have a reddish, ginger tinge? Or why a young child's golden locks often disappear before the age of 10? Here, one leading expert, Rodney Sinclair, Professor of Dermatology at the Epworth Hospital and University of Melbourne, explains the science of hair colour - and why some of us are cursed with more greys than others... What determines the colour of hair? Hair colour is produced by cells known as melanocytes, which migrate into the hair bulb as the hair follicles develop in utero. The melanocytes produce pigment that is incorporated into the growing hair fibres to produce hair in a bewildering array of natural shades. Hair colour depends on the presence and ratios of two groups of melanins: eumelanins (brown and black pigments) and pheomelanins (red and yellow pigments). While variations in the ratio of these pigments can produce an large number of colours and tones, siblings often have strikingly similar hair colour. The Duchess of Cambridge battles with grey hair, as these pictures reveal. Genetic factors appear to be important in determining when we turn grey, rather than lifestyle, says Professor Sinclair . Most of us find our first 'greys' by the time we turn 30, usually at the temples, then later, across the scalp . How hair colour varies according to body site . For example, eyelashes are the darkest because they contain high levels of eumalanin. Scalp hair is usually lighter than pubic hair, which often has a red tinge, due to the presence of more phaeomelanin pigments. A red tinge is also common in underarm and beard hair, even in people with essentially brown hair on their scalp. Hormones such as melanocyte-stimulating hormone can darken light hair, as can high levels of oestrogen and progesterone, which are produced in pregnancy. Certain drugs, such as those to prevent malaria can lighten hair, while some epilepsy medications can darken it. Why do blonde children often go dark? Blond children tend to see their hair darken around the age or seven or eight. The mechanism for this is unknown and probably not related to hormones, as the darkening precedes puberty by a number of years. New parents often find the first coat of their baby's hair is darker than expected. It is not until this first hair is shed and replaced, at around eight to 12 months of age, that you get a clear indication of their hair colour. Blond children tend to see their hair darken around the age or seven or eight.The mechanism for this is unknown and probably not related to hormones, as the darkening precedes puberty by a number of years, says Professor Sinclair . How much does hair grow? Human hair growth is cyclical. During the anagen phase, hair grows continuously at a rate of 1cm per month. Anagen can last three to five years on the scalp and produce hair that grows to between 36 to 60cm in length. At the end of the anagen phase, the follicle turns off, hair growth stops and remains

Summary: Rodney Sinclair is a Professor of Dermatology at University of Melbourne . Claims that by age 50, half of us have lost colour in 50 per cent of our hair . Premature greying may be a sign of anaemia a thyroid condition, he says . And scalp hair is usually lighter than pubic hair, which often has 'red' tinge .


These are the shocking images which show how public housing commission tenants are leasing their properties to pocket some extra cash and then trashing them in the process.

Michelle Hughes has defied the threat of a terror attack by wearing her cadet uniform to school despite being warned against the idea . A teenager has defied the threat of a terror attack by wearing her cadet uniform to school despite being warned against the idea. Michelle Hughes was told to carry her Army uniform in a bag when travelling to and from school after fears of a Woolwich copycat attack on soldiers. But the proud 17-year-old cadet ignored advice, insisting she had not been brought up to be ‘scared of anything’. Her show of courage comes after children in cadet forces across the country were warned in December not to wear their uniform outside school. Pupils were also told to carry out searches of training areas, ranges and accommodation before setting up camp while on trips. Individual units were told to ensure with ‘immediate effect’ that ‘appropriate security measures’ were put into place in all detachments. Michelle’s mother, Rose Hughes, said: ‘I am not going to be afraid of evil frustrated people. That is the way I brought up my children. I brought them up to work hard and achieve and fulfil their potential. ‘There are crazy people out there who take out their frustrations in life on other people, but this country is peaceful and I do not want my children to be afraid. ‘Let the terrorists be afraid, they are the ones who should hide.’ When the guidance was issued by some units, a Combined Cadet Force (CCF) source said it was a ‘terrible shame’ that children were no longer able to wear their uniforms proudly on the streets. Andrew Halls, headmaster of King’s College School in Wimbledon, south west London, wrote to the parents of pupils who belong to its CCF, to advise that concerned pupils should carry their uniforms in a bag when travelling to school. Miss Hughes, a single mother, wrote back to say her daughter would not bow to the threat. Michelle, who has 12 A* GCSEs and has represented England at athletics, told the Sunday Times: ‘I saw the email from the headmaster and so did my mum, but I was going to wear the CCF uniform anyway. ‘I don’t really feel at risk. My mum wrote back to the school saying she had not brought us up to be scared of anything.’ Some schools have been strict with guidance and have told pupils they must not wear their uniform in public (file picture) Her mother, from Essex, added: ‘It is a wonderful privilege to be alive and to live in a country like Britain. ‘Nothing is risk free, but on the whole this country is safe. I want my children to be on the right side of life, to do the right thing and fulfil their potential. The only thing you have to be afraid of in life is fear.’ Michelle, who was previously a member of the Air Training Corps, is one of a number of CCF members at her school who are not prepared to hide their uniforms in public.

Joe Schmidt is poised to make 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 is likely to make one change to the side that beat England . Jamie Heaslip (centre) is expected to be back after injuring himself against France on February 14 . Jonathan Sexton (left) has recovered from the hamstring problem that he had for Ireland . 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 is now expected to take 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 will be along expected lines 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 will continue 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 it is thought he will again be back-up to Sexton. Felix Jones is likely to be 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 Headslip is set to make a return from injury for the Wales clash . His comeback is likely to see Jordi Murphy go out of the side .


The pathetic excuses from friends and colleagues defending Steven Gerrard have been a joke. Unfortunately for arguably Liverpool’s greatest-ever player, he proved on Sunday that Brendan Rodgers has made the correct decision to cut him loose from Anfield at the end of this season. I’d be surprised if Gerrard makes the Liverpool starting line-up again, and any substitute appearances will surely only be to give the fans a wave goodbye. Why should Rodgers trust Gerrard again this season? Steven Gerrard looks dejected after seeing red just 38 seconds after coming on for Liverpool at Anfield . Gerrard stamped on Ander Herrera's right leg shortly after coming on at the start of the second half . Herrera gestures and points at Gerrard as the Liverpool midfielder reacts following the challenge . This is an experienced professional, a captain, a legend and there is nothing anyone can say that should mask the truth that he absolutely let everyone at Liverpool Football Club down. He also failed to apologise to Ander Herrera in his brief post-match interview, which showed a lack of class. Some said Gerrard was frustrated because he wasn’t in the starting line-up. That might be true, but it doesn’t excuse a violent stamp on an opponent’s ankle. Others have said he was desperate to get involved and show his passion. After all his years in the game, with all his knowledge of this fixture, he must surely know there is only one way to show passion and commitment on such a huge occasion – and that’s to make good, clean tackles, play well and get the job done. This was Liverpool’s biggest game of the season, against fierce rivals, it’s a game they’re losing when he comes on the pitch and it’s a game they need to win. Liverpool captain Gerrard looks baffled after seeing referee Martin Atkinson brandish a red card . Gerrard walks off the Anfield pitch in what was his last appearance against Man United in a Liverpool shirt . If Wayne Rooney had done it, the reaction would be far worse. There would be calls to strip him of the England captaincy. If it had been Joey Barton, the reaction would have hit fever pitch. Had it been a Chelsea player – well, the internet and the FA would have been in meltdown. There would have been talk of points deductions probably. But because it was Gerrard, the appropriate outrage has been tempered because apparently, according to the apologists, Rodgers made a mistake by failing to put him in the starting line-up. Gerrard (centre) walks past Brendan Rodgers (left) as Emre Can (right) listens to instructions from his boss . Queens Park Rangers midfielder Joey Barton would have been ridiculed if he had made such a challenge . Last season’s slip against Chelsea was accidental, the stamp on Sunday was calculated: at best it was Gerrard being a careless hot-head desperate to make a mark. At worst, it looked like a reckless player who is now past caring about the fortunes of his club. Gerrard was the main

Not again. Not now. As news of Daniel Sturridge’s latest injury setback emerged, those four words will have swirled around Brendan Rodgers’ mind. Liverpool’s manager has become accustomed to picking teams that do not contain Sturridge — he went from August 31 to January 31 without him, remember — but, as the campaign reaches its defining moment, this is not something he will relish. It was bad enough to lose his captain Steven Gerrard to a three-match suspension last Sunday, and the FA’s decision to give Martin Skrtel, Liverpool’s best defender, the same ban for stamping on David de Gea exacerbated the problem. Daniel Sturridge will be out of action for around a month after picking up a hip injury . The new setback is another blow in a season that has been ruined by injury for the Liverpool striker . Sturridge injured his thigh on England duty last September and didn't play for Liverpool again in 2014 . Premier League goals for Sturridge since his debut in Jan 2013 — from that date until he left for Barca last summer, former strike partner Luis Suarez scored 41 . Immediately after the international break is over, no team in the Barclays Premier League has more at stake than Liverpool, who have a lunchtime trip to Arsenal next Saturday followed by an FA Cup quarter-final replay at Blackburn four days later. Gerrard and Skrtel would have had big contributions to make to those fixtures and, without them, there is absolutely no doubt Liverpool’s chances of success have been compromised. Taking Sturridge away has an even greater impact. Lose at the Emirates Stadium and Ewood Park and the campaign that Liverpool have fought hard to resurrect since Rodgers changed his system to 3-4-3 will effectively be over. That is what is on the line. That is why Rodgers needs Sturridge fit. At this point, it should be noted Sturridge has not set the world alight since he returned as a substitute against West Ham at the end of January. There have been some flashes of star quality but, in a lot of games, his performances could kindly be described as ‘enigmatic’. The thing with Sturridge, however, is that he scores. ‘He is an absolute nightmare for a defender when he is on it,’ Gerrard once observed. Even when he is playing poorly — like last Sunday against Manchester United — you cannot discount him for a moment. He has poise and awareness in the penalty area and it is why Rodgers believe he can become one of Europe’s top strikers. Sturridge scores for Liverpool in their FA Cup fifth round victory at Crystal Palace . Steven Gerrard was hit with a three-match ban after he was sent off against Manchester United . Note the words ‘can become’: something is holding Sturridge back from fulfilling his potential. Can his body stand up to the rigours of football at the highest level? Or is it more psychological than physical? ‘If Daniel had Wayne Rooney’s mentality, he’d be almost unstoppable,’ Jamie Carragher wrote in these pages during

Summary: Daniel Sturridge faces a month on the sidelines with a hip injury . Sturridge has already missed five months of Liverpool's season . Steven Gerrard is also missing, suspended for three games . Martin Skrtel is serving a similar ban for stamping on David de Gea .


It was once a common way for boxers to hone their bodies for a big fight, but modern training methods have seen the practice of chopping wood somewhat die out. Floyd Mayweather, however, has gone old school in his preparation to face Manny Pacquiao. The pound-for-pound king has released a video of himself chopping wood on his official Instagram account - emulating past greats such as Muhammad Ali, Rocky Graziano and the fictional Rocky, of course.

Mayweather's latest video comes after he was filmed skipping in his gym - to Phil Collins' no less - and pictured hitting a speed bag and heavy bag. With a little over seven weeks until Mayweather meets Pacquiao in Las Vegas on May 2, the training will no doubt intensify . Mayweather posted this pictured of his new diamond encrusted, gold watch on his Shots account. Pacquiao last week was filmed pounding the streets on numerous occasions and then working out with fans at a public event. Away from the fight, Mayweather gave fans another glimpse of what the riches of boxing can buy, posting a picture on his Shots account of a diamond encrusted watch. It is unknown how much the timepiece cost, but the custom-made jewellery would not have been cheap - although for the man who calls himself Money that would be no problem.

The stepfather of a teenager who has been missing for 20 days has been taken into police custody amid claims that he knows who has taken his daughter. Anjelica 'AJ' Hadsell, 18, has been missing since March 2 and her stepfather Wesley Hadsell, 36, was taken into custody on Saturday after being interrogated by police for more than 15 hours. Wesley has been locked up on six charges including four charges of obstructing justice, one charge of possessing ammunition after a felony and one charge of breaking and entering. Scroll down for video . Anjelica 'AJ' Hadsell, left, has been missing since March 2 and her stepfather Wesley Hadsell, right, was taken into custody on Saturday after being interrogated by police for more than 15 hours . Speaking from the Norfolk City Jail, Wesley said he broke into the home of the person that he believes took his daughter against her will. 'I couldn't sit a minute away from where my daughter may have been,' he told WAVY.com. Wesley has admitted to spending roughly 18 minutes inside the home, where he says he searched for evidence by going through the trash and searching under the carpet. He said he even punched the family dog out of anger. While searching the property AJ's stepfather claims that he discovered her jacket. 'I found my daughter's jacket in his couch rolled up behind the cushion,' he said. 'I was just trying to make the evidence come to light. It's not like I had the jacket, I didn't plant the jacket, I didn't know anything about that. It was the fact of the overwhelming information that led me there.' Wesley is currently being held without bond and the Norfolk Police Department are not currently refering to him as a person of interest or a suspect in AJ's disappearance. Wesley Hadsell, left, has admitted breaking into the home of the person that he believes took his daughter AJ, right, against her will . Officially the cops have said that they are not ruling out foul play and they have no suspects. During a search of Wesley's hotel room police found 72 rounds of nine-millimeter ammunition. He has aroused local suspicions on social media in part because he has a lengthy felony criminal record. In 2005 his ex-wife went missing for several days and he was reportedly arrested after allegedly kidnapping her and driving her across multiple states. On Saturday he told WAVY that he is a changed man. 'I want my daughter home,' he said. 'That's what I want and that's all I want. Anybody who wants to say something about that or get in the way of that, then I'm sorry. So what some ways are unorthodox. I didn't have anything to do with her disappearance. I don't know where she's at.' Police on Saturday spent over 12 hours combing a large, remote wooded area in coastal Chesapeake following a tip that some of AJ's clothing had being found on the side of the road .

Dick Advocaat has been plotting Sunderland’s survival mission for the past fortnight from him home in Holland. The new boss has revealed that he was waiting for the Black Cats to sack Gus Poyet and was surprised it did not happen sooner. Indeed, in the wake of Sunderland’s 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday there were reports that Advocaat was set to take over, despite this being some 48 hours before Poyet was dismissed. Reports in Holland suggest Dick Advocaat was surprised his predecessor Gus Poyet was not sacked sooner . Poyet was sacked after Sunderland were beaten 4-0 at the Stadium of Light by rivals Aston Villa . Advocaat said John O'Shea (left) will have to play despite not training in the week as the squad is small . The Dutchman said: ‘I expected they would do it (sack Poyet) earlier, but they didn't. ‘Poyet was a coach who is very self-focussed. They were looking for someone with experience, a guy who knows what it's about. For this short time they didn't want to take the risk to get an inexperienced coach.’ Advocaat will take charge of the team for the first time at West Ham tomorrow and, with his new club just one point above the Premier League drop zone, he has revealed his stark message to the players. ‘As I said to the players, it’s quite simple. This is a big, big club – do you want to play in the other league?’ he said. ‘With this club, this stadium, you cannot play in the lower league. I think they realise how important it is. Midfield player Sebastian Larsson has also missed training but will be called upon by Advocaat . Advocaat believes Sunderland have a competitive squad when all of their players are fully fit . ‘We have nine games to go and are still a point ahead, so we have everything in our own hands. ‘Keeping this team in the league is the most important thing. ‘There is enough quality in this squad to stay up. We have a difficult programme, as do the other teams, but it’s all up to us and I have a good feeling about it.’ Meanwhile, it has been reported that Advocaat is open to the idea of staying at the club beyond the end of the season. However, it appears some of that was lost in translation from an interview in his homeland and Sportsmail understands he will return to Holland in May.
