Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was the only person who thought Steven Gerrard should not start against Manchester United, says Paul Scholes. Gerrard was on the substitutes' bench until half-time at Anfield on Sunday, and was sent off after just 38 seconds of coming on for stamping on Ander Herrera.

'United were brilliant in the first half, but if they had been up against Gerrard then it might have been different. 'He had the frustration of not playing in the game, and then he had to watch a first half in which none of his team-mates even made a tackle. It is not nice to stand on the sideline and see your own team getting destroyed at home to a big rival. 'I can see what he was trying to do when he came on: put a few tackles in and get the crowd going. But even when you can feel the emotions rising in you, the most important thing is control. I got sent off a few times in my life but I never lost my head. I mistimed tackles and I made mistakes.'

Natalie Bennett, the party leader, said the proposals would create a 'peaceful political revolution' at the General Election . The Green Party is calling for the Human Rights Act to be extended to include animals so that killers and kidnappers of whales, dolphins and apes will face the same jail sentences as human murderers. Its bizarre blueprint, which also included a tax on nappies and a better standard of living for rodents, was laid out at the party's annual conference in Liverpool this weekend. Likening the killing of sea creatures and monkeys to that of humans, its leader Natalie Bennett urged the law be changed to ensure anyone found guilty of such crimes against animals face a prison sentence. Addressing the conference she said the move would create a 'peaceful political revolution' at May's General Election. Her proposal would see the 1948 Human Rights Act extended to protect 'all sentient life forms'. Taxes on nappies, bans on horse racing and the creation of a fleet of hospital ships for the third world were also set to become official policy for the during a series of debates today. The Greens also plan to form an alliance with the Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru to force a minority Labour government to cut the defence budget. Funding would be taken from nuclear deterrence to be spent on foreign aid, increasing the budget to £16 billion a year, or one per cent of GDP. On Sunday members were due to debate using the budget to build a fleet of hospital ships to provide worldwide humanitarian aid and support. The party also proposes new levies on manufacturers of disposable nappies. Plans to extend the Human Rights act, which states that 'no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment' would mean anyone killing, torturing or 'kidnapping' dolphins, whales, apes and elephants would occur for equivalent crimes committed against humans. Party leader Natalie Bennett, who will be joined by model Lily Cole on Sunday, said the proposals would create a 'peaceful political revolution' at the General Election. Other plans include Forest Schools to giving youngsters a 'hands-on' appreciation of trees, bans on goods made in factories that do not comply with British health and safety standards, and splitting the jackpot on the National Lottery to create more frequent, smaller wins. The conference is the Greens' decision making body, whereby policies approved by members become official party doctrine. An elected committee then decides which policies appear in the manifesto booklet. Equal rights: Under the party's plans killers of dolphins and whales would face jail sentences . The Green Party plans to extend Article Five of the UN Declaration on Human Rights, banning 'inhuman' treatment, to all sentient life forms . The environmentalist party will also propose creating a fleet of hospital ships to serve the developing world and banning the commercial horse and dog racing, such as the Grand National, (pictured) The leader set out the party's proposals at its party conference in Liverpool over the weeekend . 1) Article Five

Summary: Animals to be given full human rights in plans considered by Green Party . Killers and kidnappers of sea creatures and animals would face jail .

Kell Brook has vowed not to make the same mistake as the man from whom he ripped the world crown when he makes the first defence of his IBF welterweight title in Sheffield on Saturday night. Brook takes on Canada-based Romanian Jo Jo Dan in a bout which bears all the hallmarks of a triumphant homecoming before the 28-year-old sets his sights on much more lucrative 147lbs assignments. Brook had himself been considered a convenient underdog when he went to California in August and surprised the incumbent champion Shawn Porter to wrest the belt by split decision. Kell Brook (left) poses alongside Jo Jo Dan ahead of their IBF welterweight title fight in Sheffield . Promoter Eddie Hearn sits in between Brook and Dan as they discuss Saturday evening's fight . Brook will not make the mistake of underestimating Dan, according to his trainer Dominic Ingle . And his extraordinary recovery following a life-threatening stabbing while on holiday in Tenerife last September has left Brook in no mood to make assumptions about how his first bout in his home city since October 2013 is going to end. Brook's trainer Dominic Ingle said: 'Shawn Porter under-estimated Kell Brook and believed his own hype and then he was forced to admit he had over-looked him. 'There is no danger of Kell overlooking Jo Jo in the same way. Jo Jo has got into the mandatory position and he wants to win that title. Kell is looking for big fights ahead but Jo Jo sees no reason why he shouldn't get them too.' Brook's long recovery since the horrific and unprovoked stabbing incident has left Ingle convinced he will step into the ring on Saturday in the shape of his life - even if his long slog to super-fitness did come at a price. Brook and Dan stare each other out as they go face-to-face in front of the media on Thursday afternoon . Hearn poses alongside Brook and Dan as the champion proudly shows off his IBF welterweight belt . Brook will make the first defence of his title in Sheffield after recovering from being stabbed in the leg last year . 'It's been a long camp and it's sometimes been boring and a bit like groundhog day but he's done all the work and the result is that his fitness is through the roof,' added Ingle. 'Because of the injury he has mentally over-compensated and he has really had to kick up a gear to get himself fit. It has been 30 weeks since he started rehab but he is fitter now than he was for the Porter fight. 'He is fighting on his home ground on Saturday and that will improve his performance by another 10 or 20 per cent. But the fact Jo Jo has come over to take his title will raise his game as well.'

Summary: Kell Brook defends his IBF welterweight title on Saturday evening . Brook's trainer, Dominic Ingle, says he won't take Jo Jo Dan lightly . The fight is Brook's first since he was stabbed in Tenerife last year . Ingle believes Brook is fitter than when he defeated Shawn Porter in 2014 .

Motorists may soon be able to direct the headlamps of their car with their eyes, according to car manufacturer Vauxhall. The company has revealed it is developing eye-tracking technology that will automatically adjust the direction and intensity of headlights to match the driver's gaze. The system uses an in-car camera that focuses on the drivers head with infrared sensors to detect movement and calculate the motorist's line of sight. Vauxhall's new eye-tracking system will direct the car headlights in the direction that the motorist is looking. The system uses a central camera and peripheral infrared sensors that scan the driver's eyes more than 50 times per second in dusk and night-time conditions . Vauxhall - which sells its vehicles under the brand Opel in some countries and is owned by General Motors - insists that the technology will automatically compensate should a driver be distracted or look away from the road. The company added it is still currently developing the system but hopes to introduce it to vehicles as its third-generation of intelligent lighting systems in the coming years. The system uses a central camera and peripheral infrared sensors that scan the driver's eyes more than 50 times per second in dusk and night-time conditions. The headlights adjust to match the driver's gaze both vertically and horizontally. Even if the driver is momentarily distracted and takes their eyes of the road, the lights will continue illuminating in the direction of travel. This will be combined with sensors outside the car that will detect daylight levels, turning on the headlights automatically when the vehicle enters a tunnel. Vauxhall said the lights will also adjust to different road and weather conditions. A forward-facing camera mounted behind the rear-view mirror can also detect the proximity of headlamps or rear lights of other vehicles. This allows the vehicle to automatically adjust the beam to preventing dazzling other users by reducing the intensity of the beam. A matrix of LEDs in the headlights additionally mean that parts of the headlight closest to oncoming traffic can be deactivated when passing other vehicles, while keeping the rest of the road illuminated. Engineers have also developed new adaptive lighting that combines with the eye-tracking system to make seeing on the roads at night easier and safer. This technology works using a central camera and peripheral infrared sensors that scan the driver's eyes more than 50 times per second in dusk and night-time conditions. The headlights adjust to match the driver's gaze both vertically and horizontally. Even if the driver is momentarily distracted and takes their eyes of the road, the lights will continue illuminating in the direction of travel.

A forward-facing camera mounted behind the rear-view mirror can also detect the proximity of headlamps or rear lights of other vehicles.

Summary: Vauxhall/Opel hope to introduce the technology to vehicles in future years . The system uses in-car camera and infrared sensors to track driver's gaze . Headlights automatically adjust to follow the focus of the motorists sight . The technology will compensate when drivers are distracted or look away . System will detect oncoming vehicles and reduce intensity to avoid dazzle . LEDs closest to oncoming traffic deactivate but rest of road is illuminated .

Two men have been jailed for smuggling 28 tonnes of cannabis into the UK - enough to get every person in the country stoned. Steven McDonald, 32, and John Wright, 66, were part of a crime network that trafficked drugs from the Netherlands on an 'industrial scale'. The cannabis they imported as part of the seven-year conspiracy would have had a street value in excess of £80million.

The pair were caught when Border Force officers at Harwich International Port, Essex, intercepted a 300kg haul of cannabis - worth roughly £1million - that had been hidden in boxes of ceramic tiles. They replaced the drugs, which had been packed in concealed compartments, with a dummy load. An undercover police officer then drove the lorry to an address in Whetstone, London. There, McDonald loaded the drugs into a waiting van as Wright kept watch, the court was told. McDonald, from Chatham, Kent, and Wright, from Hounslow, north London, were arrested after they were seen unloading the delivery at an address in Wembley, London. Raids on their homes led police to recover drug-dealing ledgers and evidence of at least 20 trips to the Netherlands by the pair. The two men admitted conspiring to import class B drugs at a hearing at Luton Crown Court last October. Wright was sentenced on Friday to nine years and four months and McDonald was handed an eight-year sentence.

Detective Inspector Steve Miles said: 'These men were involved in drug smuggling on a truly industrial scale over a number of years. 'The potential street value of the cannabis imported as part of this conspiracy would have been in excess of £80 million. 'Using their contacts with criminal networks in the Netherlands they were able to set up elaborate fronts to cover their activities. 'But through our close work with the Dutch authorities and Border Force we were able to unpick that, and disrupt and then dismantle a very significant organised crime group responsible for bringing thousands of kilos of illegal drugs into the UK.'

When James Corden was surprisingly chosen to host America’s top chat show, fans and critics alike wondered if the British star would flourish in such an unfamiliar role. Yet Corden’s first week in the hot-seat on CBS’s The Late Late Show has been so widely acclaimed that he is now being tipped as a front-runner to host the prestigious Golden Globes awards next year – the Hollywood party second only to the Oscars for star quality. ‘Out of nowhere, he’s suddenly a realistic contender for one of the most coveted awards-hosting jobs of the year,’ said a source close to the Globes. ‘He’s only been hosting The Late Late Show for a few days, but already Hollywood is sitting up and taking notice. Scroll down for video . Roaring success: James Corden's debut on The Late Late Show with Mila Kunis and Tom Hanks . ‘James has shown that he’s funny, can sing and dance, puts celebrities at their ease, and doesn’t dismiss stars with snark. ‘If he maintains this trajectory, he could find himself hosting the Globes – and that would really cement his position in Hollywood.’ Corden, 36, who made his name as co-writer and star of cult television sitcom Gavin and Stacey, has already proved his ability to host a major awards show by fronting the Brits for four years. If he took on the Globes, he would be following in the footsteps of fellow comedy actor Ricky Gervais, who hosted the ceremony from 2010 to 2012. Since Gervais stepped down, the awards have been co-hosted by American TV comedy stars Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Comfortable: ‘James has shown that he’s funny, can sing and dance, puts celebrities at their ease,' said a source. Pictured with Patricia Arqeutte and Chris Pine on his second night . A source within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which stages the Golden Globes, said: ‘Amy and Tina have finished their three-year contract and have stated that they won’t be back next year. ‘Right now, the field for a new Golden Globes host is wide open.’ Another insider said: ‘James Corden combines all the attributes of the ideal host. ‘He has enjoyed movie success this year, starring in Into The Woods with Meryl Streep, and of course he’s had TV success in Britain with his comedies. ‘He’s also won a Tony for his Broadway show One Man, Two Guvnors, and now he’s getting rave reviews in the States with The Late Late Show, giving him an international audience.’ While there are a string of chat show hosts who are better known in America, such as David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen DeGeneres, none has Corden’s wide range of film, TV and stage success. Corden’s guests during his debut week included actors Tom Hanks, Mila Kunis, Will Ferrell, Chris Pine and Kevin Hart. Celebrities lined up for future shows include X Factor tycoon Simon Cowell, footballer David Beckham, chef Gordon Ramsay and actors Michael Douglas, Courteney Cox and Claire Danes.

IN HIS BEST POSITION . Earlier in the season, Emre Can was being written off but for the last two months he has been terrific at centre half and Sunday saw him actually playing in the position he actually thinks is his best. From the base of midfield, the German can pass well and drive forwards in to dangerous areas. He is a great prospect. Liverpool's versatile German Emra Can battles for the ball with Blackburn's Rudy Gestede on Sunday . MORE THAN A BIG MAN . In the absence of Josh King, much was asked of Rudy Gestede but he managed to deliver.

His link-up play was superb all afternoon. Blackburn Rovers striker Gestede tries to win the ball against Liverpool's Ivory Coast defender Kolo Toure . HAPPY ANNIVERSARY .

Harrison Ford's flying ability was called into question in an official report following his first aviation crash, Daily Mail Online can reveal. The Hollywood star, who was rushed to hospital after crashing a vintage plane in Venice, California on Thursday, also slammed a helicopter into a riverbed back in 1999. It is not believed that Ford, 72, is to blame for his latest - and what is his third - aviation incident at Penmar Golf Course near Santa Monica Municipal Airport, with early reports suggesting engine failure is at fault. But an official report into Ford's October 1999 accident, obtained by Daily Mail Online, reveals it was caused by 'the pilot's delay in adding power during a power-on recovery'. Ford had flown the helicopter from Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles 45 miles northwest towards Santa Clarita when he hit trouble. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Full recovery: Ford was rushed from the scene bleeding heavily from a head wound, his injuries were described only as 'moderate' and he is expected to recover fully. Pictured, an aerial view of the crash . Rescue: Harrison Ford is treated at the scene of his crash in Venice, California, yesterday . The pilot was practicing autorotations to a power-on recovery. When he attempted to recover the power, the engine did not respond as quickly as anticipated and the helicopter landed hard, hitting on the rear heels of both skids. The flight instructor said that when he saw the pilot was late adding power, he attempted to correct the situation but was unsuccessful. The surface of the dry riverbed was mostly soft sand. The left skid heel contacted a log that was embedded in the sand and the helicopter pitched forward onto the skid toes and rolled over onto its left side. The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows: . The pilot's delay in adding power during a power-on recovery from an autorotation, which resulted in a hard landing and rollover. The flight instructor's inadequate supervision of the flight was also causal. Source: NTSB . Ford was practicing 'auto rotations' - an emergency landing technique that simulates engine failure. He had completed one 'auto-rotation' but on his second he was 'late bringing in the power', according to the documents. As a result, when Ford attempted to recover, the helicopter engine did not respond quickly enough and the aircraft began plummeting to the ground. The unidentified flying instructor who was aboard with the actor was forced to take over the controls and try to level the helicopter but he was unable to do so and the aircraft came crashing down into the Lake Piru riverbed near Santa Clarita and flipped over. Luckily Ford, and the unnamed instructor, were unharmed in the crash but the helicopter was 'substantially damaged', according to the document. Coincidentally the helicopter was registered to MG Aviation – the same firm to which the 1942 vintage plane involved in Ford's latest crash is registered to. The official report, which does not name Ford or his instructor, states:

Summary: Movie star, 72, has been hailed a hero in his latest plane crash when his vintage plane came down on a golf course in Venice, California . He has crashed before and in 1999 his helicopter flipped and slammed into river bed near Santa Clarita, north-east of Los Angeles . Official NTSB report at the time found that evidence of 'pilot's delay in adding power'


David Warner and Aaron Finch will have the chance to impose themselves on New Zealand as Australia bid for a fifth World Cup final victory - and the two openers are hoping they have saved their best for last. Warner and Finch's destructive partnership has only intermittently fired over the past six weeks as Australia have nonetheless booked their place in Sunday's MCG final against their fellow tournament co-hosts. Victorian Finch, who will have home comforts on the famously huge playing area, made only his second half-century of the campaign in Australia's semi-final win over India in Sydney. David Warner thank the crowd after winning the semi final against India . But it was at the MCG where he smashed hapless England for 135 on Valentine's Day, and he returns in good heart after his hard-earned 81 against the defending champions on Thursday. 'It wasn't my most fluid innings but it was nice to get through that,' he said. 'I was under the pump - I hadn't scored any runs for a while. 'I felt like I was playing really well. It's just one of those things - it didn't translate into a hell of a lot of runs lately. 'But I hope I'm past that and there's some more runs to come.' Warner has had one feast - a career-best 178 against Afghanistan in Perth - and, by his standards, some famine in the World Cup so far. Aaron Finch will hope to make an impact for Australia in the World Cup final . Like Finch, playing in the tournament for the first time, he told Australia's Sky Sports Radio: 'It's just those easy 'outs' that are causing a bit of a stir in my mind.' Warner was caught from a leading edge into the ring field against India, and added: 'It's not great to have big edges (on your bat) sometimes. 'But every time I've come in I've looked a million dollars, I've hit every ball in the middle and I've just got to find a way to get past that (first) 10 overs, be clinical and bat deep.' The Kiwis need to get their minds right too, of course, to upset the odds. They are being portrayed as outsiders but remain the only unbeaten team in the tournament and scored a narrow victory over Australia in an epic, low-scoring group match in Auckland at the end of last month. Mitchell Johnson celebrates taking the wicket of India's Rohit Sharma on their way to the World Cup final . Australia celebrate their win over India in the World Cup Semi-Final . Much has been made of Australia's home advantage for the rematch, but New Zealand insist they are not fazed. Seamer Matt Henry was not supposed to be involved at all until injury intervened for Adam Milne. Henry was brought into the squad as a replacement and acquitted himself well for economical figures in Tuesday's semi-final win over South Africa. He said: 'This is definitely something I will never forget. 'As a kid, you grow up pretending to be these

Pakistan finally got their World Cup campaign up and running as they beat Zimbabwe by 20 runs in a low-scoring contest in Brisbane. Batting first they made 235 - recovering from four for two - and were then able to restrict Zimbabwe to 215 all out in their chase, meaning they picked up a first victory after defeats to India and West Indies. Captain Misbah-ul-Haq's 73 underpinned the Pakistan batting, while Mohammad Irfan (four for 30) and Wahab Riaz (four for 35) shone with the ball. Pakistan's Mohammad Irfan celebrates the wicket of Solomon Mire; the bowler took four wickets for 30 runs . Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq top-scored for his side, managing 73 runs before being dismissed . Ul-Haq plays a shot, while Zimbabwe wicket keeper Brendan Taylor watches on from behind the stumps . They shackled Zimbabwe, with Brendan Taylor's 50 not enough to get the job done. Irfan removed the top three for a combined 46, having Chamu Chibhabha (nine) and Sikandar Raza (eight) edging him to second slip, while Hamilton Masakadza holed out to mid-on (29). Taylor had made good progress but nicked Riaz behind for a 72-ball 50, and the wickets continued to fall as Sean Williams hit Rahat Ali to backward point (33). Solomon Mire made just eight before Irfan got rid of him, and Craig Ervine 14 nicked Riaz to Umar Akmal - one of five catches for the keeper. The Pakistan players celebrate after taking the wicket of Zimbabwe's Wahab Riaz during their Pool B match . Earlier in the day, Shahid Afridi was dismissed for a duck, but Pakistan managed to put together a total of 235 . Tendai Chatar (second left) is surrounded by his Zimbabwe team-mates after dismissing Nasir Jamshed . Tuwanda Mupariwa went for a duck, Tinashe Panyangara was run out for 10 and then, when Elton Chigumbura edged Riaz behind, the game was done. It was fortunate for Pakistan that they were not facing a more dangerous side considering their own score. Their innings got off to a terrible start and they found themselves reeling on four for two after only 23 balls. Nasir Jamshed was the first man out, caught at square leg off the bowling of Tendai Chatara. Elton Chigumbura suffered a suspected torn quadricep while fielding, but managed to bat later on in the day . Chigumbura lies on the turf in Brisbane, but the Zimbabwe captain later took to the field, scoring 35 runs . Taylor (left) watches on as Afridi dives low to his left to stop the ball going past him during the match . The same bowler took the second wicket too, inducing an edge off Ahmed Shehzad who nicked behind for an 11-ball duck. Haris Sohail joined up with Misbah and the duo put on 54 until the former was caught at short mid-wicket, Raza doing the job. Another healthy stand, this time of 69, pushed the team score behind a hundred, before Akmal (33) was cleaned up by Williams. Afridi (centre) walks from the crease after being dismissed for a duck

Summary: Pakistan won the toss, decided to bat, and recorded 235-7 in their innings . Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura suffered a suspected quadricep tear while fielding but managed to bat despite his injury . Despite coming close, thanks to a heroic effort from Chigumbura at the end of the innings, Zimbabwe could not reach the total . Zimbabwe were bowled out for 215, and Pakistan recorded their first win of the 2015 World Cup to move off the bottom of Pool B .


A foreign mother who was jailed for stabbing her baby has been granted the right to stay in Britain. The Bangladeshi woman, who cannot be named, served five years for attempted murder in 2009 after she attacked her daughter in the midst of a marital breakdown. On her release, a tribunal decided not to deport her – as is usually the case with foreign criminals – so she could still see the child. The Bangladeshi woman, from Tower Hamlets, east London, who served five years for attempted murder in 2009, has been allowed to remain in the UK after the Court of Appeal ruled it was a 'truly exceptional’ case . The Government appealed but the woman, of Tower Hamlets, East London, was yesterday granted leave to remain. Court of Appeal judge Lord Justice Pitchford said the case was ‘truly exceptional’. He said: 'The circumstances of the offence, the bitter suffering of [the mother] following the offence and the clear benefit to the victim of the offence of continued face to face contact with her mother rendered this case truly exceptional. 'In short, despite the generic public interest in deportation of foreign criminals, there was no public interest in further punishing the victim of the crime. 'In my view, the combined circumstances of the crime and its consequences were exceptional and the First-Tier Tribunal was entitled to conclude that separation, which was likely to be permanent, would be cruel both to the offender and to the victim.' The judge heard the appeal with Lord Justice Sullivan and Lady Justice King, who both agreed with the decision. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Summary: The Bangladeshi woman served five years for attempted murder in 2009 . She stabbed her young daughter in the midst of a marital breakdown . Tribunal decided not to deport her but Government appealed the decision . Court of Appeal has now ruled case is 'truly exceptional' and she can stay .


For many women, being mistaken for a celebrity is the ultimate compliment. But for Sabrina May, who was compared to Gemma Collins, it only made her cringe. Every time that Sabrina from Essex was out in public, she would be mistaken for the The Only Way Is Essex star. In fact, one night somebody even asked the size 22 florist for her autograph. After five years of this unwanted stardom, Sabrina decided that it was time to make a change to her appearance - and she lost seven stone and slimmed down to a size 10 as a result. Scroll down for video . Sabrina May, 29, used to be mistaken for TOWIE star Gemma Collins before she lost seven stone in weight . Sabrina, 29, who at her heaviest was 16st 12lb, said: 'I've always been a TOWIE fan and thought Gemma was great. 'We were both big, bubbly, blonde Essex girls with a love of pie and chips and cocktails. However, I still never thought I was as big as her. 'I was kidding myself about my weight. I was genuinely surprised and gutted when people started mistaking me for her. 'When I was asked to sign the autograph I knew it was time to change - it was the wake-up call I needed.' Sabrina, who at her heaviest was 16st 12lb, left, was even asked for her autograph when someone mistook her for Gemma Collins but she went on to shed the pounds on a health kick, right, and is now a size 10 .

He used to say life was too short for dieting and to just have what you enjoyed. But unfortunately, when he was 26st, he died. 'Of course, we all knew that at his weight he wasn't the healthiest but we had no idea just how serious it was.' After losing her father, who was overweight, she was terrified that her own weight might take her away from her own son so she decided to do something about it . She heard about the Terri-Ann 123 diet plan on Facebook and liked the fact it gave her 24-hour access to online support with other slimmers so she signed up .

'Get ready for a lot of long nights where you think you are useless,' he said. 'I'm serious. And you have to deal with that. There are a lot of players who I worked with who are now managers who phone me up. 'Now I know what Howard Wilkinson (his former boss at Leeds) felt like. I used to phone him a lot when I was in trouble. 'As a matter of fact, every time he picked up the phone he used to say 'what's up now?' 'So we are always there to give advice and we are the only people who can give advice to managers because nobody else knows what it feels like.

One Sunday morning last summer, John Bieniewicz, a referee in the Michigan United Soccer League, showed a player a yellow card for a bad tackle. The player, Bassel Saad, began to shout abuse at him, so Bieniewicz reached for his pocket and prepared to send him off. Before Bieniewicz could dismiss him, Saad felled him with a punch that knocked him unconscious. Bieniewicz died two days later in hospital. On Friday, as Saad’s trial in a Detroit courtroom came to an end, the referee’s widow was determined to do one last thing to honour her dead husband’s memory. Kris Bieniewicz approached the bench as Saad waited to be sentenced and pulled something from her pocket. She stood there and brandished it at her husband’s killer. ‘I would like to serve Mr Saad with the red card that he was entitled to,’ she said. John Bieniewicz's widow, Kris Bieniewicz, addresses the court and holds up a red card to Bassel Saad . Saad (left) will spend at least eight years in prison after killing Bieniewicz with one punch . It sounds almost like a parody, doesn’t it? But it wasn’t. The judge sentenced Saad to eight to 15 years in prison. ‘You’ve come to personify all that’s wrong with the escalation of violence in sports,’ he told him. It was a human tragedy most of all, of course, a tragedy for young children who lost their father and a wife who lost her husband. But it also told a sad and unpalatable tale of the behaviour that is leaving an ugly, ugly stain on football. Tragedies like the one that happened in Michigan are rare but you only had to watch Manchester United–Arsenal and Chelsea-Paris Saint-Germain last week to know that referees are under siege. Many observers still see them as acceptable victims in football’s great passion play. Threatening officials is just part of the game, they say. Anything to get an edge. I listened to some of the Chelsea-PSG game on the radio and the dismay in the voice of Mark Lawrenson as he commented on what he saw was powerful. ‘This is an angry game being played by angry men,’ he said. Bjorn Kuipers was hounded by nine Chelsea players as Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sent off for a tackle on Oscar . Paris Saint-Germain players also surrounded the Dutch official as tempers threatened to boil over . Let’s be honest about this: it is getting to the point now where if you want to be a referee, only heroes need apply. You will be threatened and you will be ridiculed — on and off the pitch. If you make a decision that meets with the disapproval of a manager who is trying to shift the blame for a poor performance, you will be hounded and you will be abused. If we carry on like this, we’re going to have to start paying referees danger money. You think I’m joking? I’m not. A few years ago, I watched a Sunday league game between two junior teams at Paddington Rec in west London

Summary: John Bieniewicz, a referee in the Michigan United Soccer League, was felled by a punch from Bassel Saad as he prepared to send him off . The punch knocked him unconscious. Bieniewicz died two days later in hospital . Saad was imprisoned for at least eight years this week. In the courtroom, Beiniewicz's widow showed him a red card .

From exam stress and homework struggles to friendship woes, middle school can be a difficult time. But last week, nearly 150 eighth graders in Massachusetts had their spirits lifted after walking into school in the morning - only to find kind-hearted Post-it notes stuck to each one of their lockers. The handwritten notes, reading 'You are beautiful', were placed on lockers around Ipswich Middle School in Ipswich last Friday by a mystery well-wisher. Not a single eighth grader was left out. 'It was sort of a boost,' said student Tovah Lockwood. 'A warm hug. It’s a nice gesture.' Another, Charlize Vermaak, added: 'I had this really dumb smile on my face. I couldn’t stop smiling.'

One of these students was Eric Anderson, whose family home at 62 Central St burned down three weeks ago. Speaking to CBS Boston, Eric said of the gesture: 'It’s still good that people care'. Before Friday morning, the anonymous messenger had asked teacher Christina Ciarametaro if they could write and stick the notes to eighth graders' lockers without any security issues, it is reported.

Scientists using . the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed that the . Jupiter-orbiting moon Ganymede has an ocean beneath its icy . surface, raising the prospects for life, Nasa has revealed. The finding resolves a mystery about the largest moon in the . solar system after NASA's now-defunct Galileo spacecraft . provided hints that Ganymede has a subsurface ocean during . exploration of Jupiter and its moons from 1995 to 2003. Scientists told reporters on a conference call that it took . some detective work to confirm the discovery. In this artist’s concept, the moon Ganymede orbits the giant planet Jupiter. A saline ocean under the moon’s icy crust best explains shifting in the auroral belts measured by Hubble. Scientists first suspected an ocean in Ganymede in the 1970s, based on models of the large moon. NASA's Galileo mission measured Ganymede's magnetic field in 2002, providing the first evidence supporting those suspicions. The Galileo spacecraft took brief 'snapshot' measurements of the magnetic field in 20-minute intervals, but its observations were too brief to distinctly catch the cyclical rocking of the ocean's secondary magnetic field. Like Earth, Ganymede has a liquid iron core that generates a . magnetic field, though Ganymede's field is embedded within . Jupiter's magnetic field. That sets up an interesting dynamic . with telltale visuals - twin bands of glowing aurora around . Ganymede's northern and southern polar regions. As Jupiter rotates, its magnetic field shifts, causing . Ganymede's aurora to rock. Scientists measured the motion and . found it fell short. Using computer models, they realized that a . salty, electrically conductive ocean beneath the moon's surface . was counteracting Jupiter's magnetic pull. 'Jupiter is like a lighthouse whose magnetic field changes . with the rotation of the lighthouse. It influences the aurora,' said geophysicist Joachim Saur, with the University of Cologne . in Germany. 'With the ocean, the rocking is significantly . reduced.' Scientists ran more than 100 computer models to see if . anything else could be having an impact on Ganymede's aurora. They also repeated the seven-hour, ultraviolet Hubble . observations and analyzed data for both belts of aurora. 'This gives us confidence in the measurement,' Saur said. NASA Associate Administrator Jim Green called the finding . 'an astounding demonstration.' 'They developed new approach to look inside a planetary body . with a telescope,' Green said. Ganymede joins a growing list of moons in the outer solar . system with subsurface water. On Wednesday, scientists reported . that Saturn's moon Enceladus has hot springs beneath its icy . crust. Other water-rich worlds include Jupiter moons Europa and . Callisto. NASA Hubble Space Telescope images of Ganymede's auroral belts (colored blue in this illustration) are overlaid on a Galileo orbiter image of the moon. The amount of rocking of the moon's magnetic field suggests that the moon has a subsurface saltwater ocean. Scientists estimate the ocean is 60 miles (100 km) thick, 10 . times deeper than Earth's oceans, and is buried under a 95-mile . (150-km) crust of mostly ice. 'It is one step further

Summary: Finding resolves a mystery about the largest moon in the solar system . Hubble Space Telescope confirmed Jupiter-orbiting moon has an ocean .


Americans bought less soda for the 10th straight year in 2014, with diet sodas shrinking more than their sugary counterparts, according to a report released Thursday. An annual report by the industry tracker Beverage Digest found that overall soda volume slipped 0.9 percent last year, moderating from the decline of 3 percent the previous year. And the poor performance of diet sodas in particular led to a shake-up in the top 10 U.S. soda rankings; even though people bought less Pepsi, it managed to regain the No. 2 spot from Diet Coke, which suffered an even steeper decline. Diet Coke had knocked Pepsi off the No. 2 spot in 2010. Not flying off the shelves: . U.S. soda volume declined for the tenth straight year in 2014, with diet sodas faring worse than their regular counterparts . Coke remained by far the most popular soda in the U.S., selling about twice as much as No. 2 Pepsi. John Sicher, publisher of Beverage Digest, attributed the moderation in soda's decline in 2014 to the continued growth of energy drinks. He also noted that Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo and Dr Pepper Snapple Group have improved marketing for their soda brands. Soda volume has been declining in the U.S. since 2004 amid concerns that sugary drinks fuel weight gain, and a proliferation of alternatives in the beverage aisle. More recently, industry executives have attributed an accelerating decline of diet sodas to concerns over artificial sweeteners like aspartame. The American Beverage Association, which represents Coke, Pepsi and others, is trying to address the shift away from diet sodas in part by funding studies showing the benefits of the drinks. Despite the ongoing decline of soda volume, the broader U.S. beverage industry performed better than in the previous year with growth of 1.7 percent, according to Beverage Digest. That increase was driven by an increase in bottled water sales. Back in second place: Even though Pepsi's volume dipped, it managed to regain the No. 2 spot .

Diego Costa doesn't look the same player in Europe as the one who reached the Champions League final with Atletico Madrid last season, according to former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. The Blues were eliminated from the competition after a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night sent Paris Saint-Germain through to the quarter finals on away goals. Costa cut a disconsolate figure throughout the game and, although he has taken the Premier League by storm this season, he has not scored in Europe's elite competition in all seven games this term.

If there was a textbook on Jose Mourinho’s management style, the antics of Chelsea’s players against Paris Saint-Germain would be page one. Surrounding the referee, complaining about decisions, elbows, and intimidation. Save for the poor result, it had all the hallmarks of a Mourinho classic. However, if the histrionics start to outweigh performances the Portuguese has a habit of losing favour fast. It’s what killed his reign at Real Madrid. Jose Mourinho shows his frustrations during Chelsea's match against PSG on Wednesday night . Chelsea players surround referee Bjorn Kuipers and demand a red card is shown to Zlatan Ibrahimovic . Ibrahimovic (right) gets up as nine Chelsea players surround him and the referee after the incident . One of the battles Mourinho fought at Real was with the club’s own match delegate Miguel Porlan. ‘Chendo’, as he is known to everyone, played for over a decade at right-back for Madrid before continuing to serve the club after hanging up his boots. As part of the staff allowed to sit on the bench during games alongside goalkeeping coach Silvino Louro, fitness coach Rui Faria, and Mourinho’s No 2 and current Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka, Chendo soon became part of the systematic applying of pressure on the fourth official. It was understood that Mourinho liked his assistants to rotate the badgering of match officials so to limit the likelihood any one individual would be sent off. Chendo, who respected – and was respected by – Mourinho, thought the tactic was below a club like Real Madrid. Spanish daily El Pais claimed he told his manager as much saying: ‘We don’t do that kind of thing here’, and also suggested it was common knowledge among the players that Chendo hated the role so much he would often approach the fourth official and appear to remonstrate with him when really he was just asking him if he had the time, or if knew what time Madrid’s big department store El Corte Inglés opened in the morning. Mourinho (centre) talks with Real Madrid delegate Miguel 'Chendo' Porlan during a La Liga match in 2010 . Nemanja Matic (centre) appeals to the referee following Ibrahimovic's tackle on Oscar during the first half . Chelsea players later look dejected as they are knocked out of the Champions League round of 16 . Mourinho has always believed matches are won not just by the eleven on the pitch but by everyone at the club. And neither are they just won with football. If the opposition can be intimidated and bullied – and if that affects their ability to play – then that serves the end-game goal of victory. Mourinho’s ‘us against them’ battle plan at Madrid lasted three years.

France has rejected imposing a ban on super-skinny fashion models - beause a law would risk discriminating against 'thin people' in the workplace. Left-wing MPs had demanded six-month prison terms or fines of £60,000 for fashion bosses who 'glorify anorexia' by hiring underweight girls. They had called for models to carry medical certificates showing their body mass index - calculated by dividing one's weight in kilogrammes by the square of one's height in metres. Scroll down for video . Unhealthy: France has rejected imposing a ban on super-skinny fashion models. The ban was called for by a Socialist politician who said prison sentences to be handed out to fashion bosses who employ them . Socialist politician Olivier Veran told French daily Le Parisien: 'It's intolerable to promote malnutrition and to commercially exploit people who are endangering their own health. 'A level of acceptable body mass index should be set and enforced. Websites encouraging young girls to lose weight should also be banned.' But the nation's parliament yesterday rejected the socialist MPs amendment to France's new health bill on the grounds that it would 'discriminate against jobseekers on the grounds of their weight'. Mr Veran and fellow MPs said they would now re-write their amendment in the hope of incorporating it into the bill, which will be debated again later this year. Thin: Olivier Veran had demanded that all models be forced to present a certificate of good health before being allowed on the catwalk. France said such rules would risk discriminating against 'thin people' There are now 40,000 people in France suffering from anorexia, around 90 per cent of whom are adolescents, according to the latest health ministry figures. French socialist politician Olivier Veran had led calls for a change in the rules over super-skinny models . In Norway, MPs have proposed that images of airbrushed fashion models should come with a 'cigarette-packet' style health warning in a bid to tackle eating disorders. One suggested text for the Norwegian warning would read: 'This advertisement has been altered and presents an inaccurate image of how this model really looks.' Spain has already barred models below a certain body mass index from the Madrid fashion shows. Italy has insisted on health certificates for fashion show participants. And Brazil is considering demands to ban underage, underweight models from its catwalks. Medical experts around the world have warned against the dangers of ultra-skinny catwalk models, and images airbrushed to make girls look thinner, which they say encourage anorexia in girls as young as six. Fashion guru Giorgio Armani said two years ago that the fashion industry had a duty to 'work together against anorexia'. He added at the time: 'The industry has to recognise the link between its preference for abnormally thin models and the growth in eating disorders among young women.'

Summary: Socialist politician Olivier Veran said skinny models 'glorify anorexia' Demanded prison terms for fashion bosses hiring underweight girls . Also called for fines of up to £60,000 and said models must provide a medical certificate of health before taking to the catwalk . But France has rejected the proposal, saying it is unfair on thin people . Amendment was rejected in parliament because it could 'discriminate against jobseekers on the grounds of their weight'

It’s nearly time for Kell Brook to make an emotional walk to the ring and fight Jo Jo Dan on March 28. He has the world at his feet again and I’m looking at fights against the likes of Juan Manuel Marquez, Brandon Rios and Keith Thurman in the summer and then the winner of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather. But it was so nearly game over for Kell. I remember being sat next to his bed in the hospital in Tenerife and I didn’t know if he would fight again. I think it’s hard for you or I to imagine to what he has been through since that horrific knife attack. But this guy is special. Dan is going to face a fighter in Sheffield who has only thought about fighting for the past six months. It has been hard on Kell – he won a world title and what was supposed to be his moment has been spent recovering from that attack. It’s been a nightmare. Kell Brook with his world title in September as he began his recovery from being stabbed in the leg . The challenge – and it is a big challenge – will be handling himself in the right manner on the night. Everyone wants to see how he comes back physically from what happened. But how will he cope with the emotions? He will be in his own city, defending his title after all that frustration and pain. There is a lot that can go wrong in those circumstances. But Kell is different to normal people. The night he won his world title against Shawn Porter in California, the stakes were so high. He was fighting in Porter’s backyard after having so many title shots postponed because of injury. A normal person could easily have been swallowed up by that pressure – the rest of us were properly nervous. I was there in his dressing room looking at him for a sign of how he was feeling. My dad walked over to Kell just before he put his gloves, grabbed his arm and said to him: ‘This is your time, don’t let this moment pass.' I went outside the dressing room and my dad was smiling. He said to me: ‘That boy is barely breathing. He is about to fight for the world title in America and his pulse is so low.’ The Sheffield fighter lands a punch on Shawn Porter on his way to becoming world champion in August 2014 . I am telling you, this guy has ice in his veins. Nothing fazes him. He has been stabbed in the leg and could have died. Now, a few months on he is fighting to retain his world title. People will doubt him but I won’t. That is why I will make the biggest fights possible for him if he comes through this next challenge against Dan. I have already made contact with Marquez’s people and also Rios’s representatives. Marquez is a legend and that would be a huge fight and Rios has been

Summary: It's time to judge what Kell Brook is made of when he makes his comeback from being stabbed . I want to make summer fight with Juan Manuel Marquez, Brandon Rios or Keith Thurman if Brook beats Jo Jo Dan on March 28 . But June 13 at Wembley works if Amir Khan wants to talk . Then we want the winner of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao . Talks have started over Carl Frampton vs Scott Quigg . I will make Luke Campbell vs Tommy Coyle in Hull in mid-July .


India on Wednesday joined countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, China and Pakistan to support a proposal moved by Russia denying staff benefits to gay couples at the United Nations. The move was defeated as 80 votes were polled against it while 43 countries, including India, backed it. Speaking against the proposal, US ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power said: “We must speak plainly about what Russia tried to do today… diminish the authority of the UN secretary general and export to the UN its domestic hostility to LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) rights.” The UN extended benefits to same sex couples on the basis of laws in their home countries. (File picture) India went with the Russian proposal as it was based on its domestic laws on same sex relations. The UN extended benefits to same sex couples on the basis of laws in their home countries. But last year, secretary general Ban Ki-moon had moved a proposal to extend the benefit to all gay couples irrespective of their domestic laws. The Russian envoy at the UN had strongly advocated in favour of extending the domestic laws to respect cultural differences of the members of the world body. This is also perhaps the reason for India to back the Russian proposal. While Pakistan and Saudi Arabia were the other countries on India’s side, 37 members abstained and 34 did not vote at all. India’s own legal provision on the issue has been subject of much debate. Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code was struck down in 2009 only to be revived by the Supreme Court last year. There is one last chance for the gay community to get homosexual acts decriminalised by the Supreme Court. After their review petition against the judgment which made gay sex a crime punishable with life was dismissed on January 28, 2014, the activists filed a curative petition before the apex court on April 3, 2014 which it has decided to hear in an open court. The apex court said the government’s indecision and flip-flop on the issue was to be squarely blamed for the situation. The Bench, which ruled that making or changing of a law was the sole prerogative of Parliament, questioned why the government had not acted even 13 years after a Law Commission report sought deletion of the section and there were repeated demands. The court said this proved that the Centre wanted the section to remain in the statute.

Summary: India voted to support a proposal by Russia, to deny gay couples working for the UN staff benefits . The move was defeated by 80 votes to 43 .

Vegetarians look away. If you've ever craved the smell of fast food all day long, Burger King has come up with the ultimate solution with the launch of a new burger-scented cologne. The cologne will supposedly imitate the signature aroma of the Whopper Burger, which consists of 100 per cent flame-grilled beef, freshly sliced onions, lettuce and mayonnaise. The scent, which has been named Flame-Grilled, is set to be launched by Burger King Japan on 1 April 2015. Scroll down for video .

Not for vegetarians: 'Flame-Grilled' will smell like the Whopper Burger: beef, fresh onions, lettuce and mayonnaise . 'Flame-Grilled' will set you back 5000 yen - which comes to around £27. Pricey. There will also supposedly be a one day promotion, whereby every customer will receive a free Whopper Burger with their purchased perfume bottle. It's apt that the release of the perfume would fall on 1 April (April Fools' Day), and many have speculated that the 'launch' is in fact a global practical joke. While many people are doubtful of the launch's authenticity, the fast food chain insists that the upcoming release is not a hoax. In fact, this isn't the first time that it's launched a fragrance. In 2008, Burger King unveiled a men's spray, dubbed Flame, which was promoted as 'the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broilled meat'. Flame was only available online and in certain stores in New York, and was discontinued shortly after its launch. April Fool's? While many people think that the cologne is a hoax, the advert insists the authenticity of the cologne and sees it retailing for 5000 yen, which is around £27 .

Summary: Burger King Japan is promoting a new scent called Flame-Grilled . The limited edition cologne will be scheduled for release on 1 April . The fragrance is retailed at 5,000 yen - around £27 . A single-day promotion includes a free Whopper with every perfume sale .

Contradicts beliefs: A new study has revealed that daily weather variations have little impact on people's moods . It's long been the belief that rainy days have a dampening effect on people's moods. But a new study has revealed that daily weather variations have little impact on people's happiness or sadness - meaning we're just as content with the odd downpour as we are with blue skies. The research, which also found that people dislike their jobs more when the sun is shining, will come as a surprise to most weather-obsessed Brits. The study was conducted by Franz Buscha, principal research fellow at the University of Westminster, who monitored weather records with people's happiness. Mr Buscha merged daily weather data from the UK Met Office with individual level wellbeing data culled from the British Household Panel Survey between 1991 and 2008 and found no evidence that the often assumed relationship between sunshine and happiness existed. Speaking to the MailOnline today, he said: 'I found it quite surprising that nobody had done any work on this in the UK. 'I always hear people talk about the weather and that they are happy that the day is sunny instead of cloudy. I myself am one of such people! 'I decided to take a look and my initial assumption was that there would be an effect and quite a strong one. Good weather equals better mood. 'However, this didn't turn out to be true. There are some weak effects in a naive correlation framework but when we go to a more complex multivariate framework (i.e. we control for certain factors such as age, sex, location, etc) all this disappears. The research, which will be presented by the Royal Economics Society next week, searched for correlations between happiness and temperature, sunshine, rainfall and wind speed. The research, which also found that people dislike their jobs more when the sun's shining, will come as a surprise to most weather-obsessed Brits. Above, sunbathers enjoy Brighton Beach in 17.5C heat last week . The study was conducted by Franz Buscha, above, principal research fellow at the University of Westminster . He added: 'The end result is that - much to my surprise - the effect of the weather on people's well-being is non-existent. 'Perhaps this is not surprising - when somebody asks you a question such as a) how do you rate your current well-being on a scale of 1 to 10 should weather really influence your answer? Up to one in four Britons suffer from seasonal affective disorder, with seven per cent of the population having full-blown SAD. SAD is also know as the 'winter blues' as victims feel their symptoms begin with the turn of the season into Autumn. In diagnosed cases, the symptoms can be so severe that they can cost people their jobs and break up relationships. The effects vary from mild - tiredness during the day and over-eating - to very serious, such as joint pains, stomach upsets, loss of libido and even aggressive behaviour. SAD is triggered by a biochemical imbalance in the

Summary: Study was carried out by a research fellow at the University of Westminster . Met Office data merged with well-being levels taken in household survey . Found daily weather variations had little impact on happiness and sadness . But sunny days did have a negative impact on people's job satisfaction .

Poole's groundsman lives just yards away from the club's home ground - his house is circled above . The Poole boss, speaking to the Bournemouth Echo, said of his view: 'I can pretty much see the whole pitch apart from the goalmouth at the end I watch it from. It is quite a good vantage point but being detached from the players makes life difficult. 'I did not realise the significance of it at first, it just did not sink in. It is only the passage of time and games that makes you fully understand what it involves and just how much you miss. 'Thankfully, James (Wood, assistant manager), Robbie (Yates, goalkeeper coach) and the players have been relatively unaffected by it so they deserve all the credit. The personal difficulty for me is secondary.' Killick, who was given a six-match stadium ban for remonstrating with referee Ben Knight following Dolphins' 1-0 defeat by Redditch on January 17, has just one game left to serve of his punishment. He will be hoping for a similar vantage point on Tuesday when Poole take on Corby Town in the second leg of the Southern League Cup final.
