These are some of the steepest ski slopes in the world, but one team of thrillseekers loves nothing more than testing their skills by taking them on. The stunning snaps have been released by award-winning adventure photographer Tero Repo, who has travelled to all corners of the globe from Antarctica to Greenland, Alaska, South America and even Japan to capture his images. Top skiers such as Jeremy Jones from Cape Cod in Massachusetts, USA and Xavier De Le Rue from Bayonne, France, spend their time carefully edging their way down the most stomach-churning drops on the planet.

Fernando Alonso paid an unexpected visit to McLaren’s factory in Woking on Monday as he prepares for his potential return in the Malaysian Grand Prix a week on Sunday. The double world champion, who was concussed in an unexplained testing accident in Barcelona last month, spoke to senior engineers during his trip. ‘He seemed in good spirits and is confident he can race in Kuala Lumpur,’ said a source within the factory. Alonso also talked through the data from the accident. Fernando Alonso was pictured with Eric Boullier at McLaren's headquarters in Woking on Tuesday . Fernando Alonso waves as he leaves hospital in Barcelona at the end of last month . Alonso and girlfriend Lara Alvarez are seen arriving in Oviedo from Barcelona hospital in February . Alonso, seen on a stretcher in a helicopter, suffered concussion from a pre-season crash in February . The 33-year-old will return to the factory – officially called the McLaren Technology Centre – this week to drive the simulator, probably on Thursday. A spokesman for the team confirmed to Sportsmail that he would spend a day on the high-tech machine, which would be set to replicate the Sepang circuit in Malaysia. It is the usual procedure for their drivers to go in the simulator before any race. However, Alonso must be cleared by the FIA’s doctors before he can get in the car again. A date for those tests has yet to be set, though they could take place in the paddock a week on Thursday. McLaren driver Fernando Alonso posted this picture showing the results of his gym work out regime . The 2005 and 2006 World Champion is all smiles with McLaren chairman Ron Dennis last December . The Spaniard spent three days in hospital after the accident and returned for further scans, but was not allowed to take part in the opening race of the season in Australia last Sunday. His place was taken by Kevin Magnussen, whose car gave up on him before the lights went out. Alonso, who is paid £27million a year, has returned to the gym to get ready for his return. Driving the simulator will allow him to restore his confidence after the discombobulating crash. His return would boost McLaren, who were last of the finishers at the weekend through Jenson Button – an even worse team display than they were expecting.

It isn't just the clothes designers who create the new trends at fashion week. Behind the scenes, the most talented hair and make-up artists in the world work like a well-oiled machine to set the next season's beauty trends - and if they have anything to do with it, we'll be wearing face tattoos, panda-esque eyeshadow and monobrows come autumn. Behind the scenes in New York, London, Milan and Paris, the hotbed of talent have been busy conjuring up AW15's beauty looks and it's time to get your glitter at the ready and throw out your tweezers. Models in Paris at the Atsuro Tayama show rocked monobrows, so will Cara Delevingne - and the rest of the world - be growing theirs out for next season? Cara Delevingne set the trend for bushy brows and it seems the look is bigger than ever (quite literally). Models in Paris at the Atsuro Tayama show rocked monobrows, which were created using brown eyeshadow blended through their brows and eyelids. The trend for overdoing the eyeshadow was also present in Milan at Antonio Marras' show where Tom Pecheux shunned the go-to wide winged shape for eyes. Instead of creating a subtle sheen on the lids, he buffed layers and layers of rusty red shadow into a circle shape around the upper and lower eye, making models look panda-like. The look backstage at Atsuro Tayama was created by buffing brown eyeshadow through the models' brows and eyelids . In Milan at Antonio Marras' show, Tom Pecheux buffed layers and layers of rusty red shadow into a circle around the upper and lower eyelids . At MSGM, lids were glossy and make-up artist Lisa Butler shunned shadow for eye gloss to give models a fresher look. Elsewhere, legendary beauty guru Val Garland used tattoos as an extension of her make-up at the Giamba show. Inspired by Cara Delevingne and Kate Moss, who both have fun little tattoos, Val and her team painted intricate designs, such as hearts, moons and stars, onto the girls' faces, hands and fingers. Young French designer Jacquemus also got creative and sketched a Picasso face onto the side of his models' faces. Val Garland used tattoos as an extension of her make-up at Giamba's show in Milan .

As for hair, Atsuro Tayama was setting trends with his kinked quiffs, which were created by Wella's Eugene Souleiman. Gel was used to slick down sides, then Eugene coiled models' hair into a tight spiralled twist, which he removed just before they hit the runway leaving them full of texture. Gel came in abundance at Just Cavalli, where James Pecis created a 'wet, humid, swampy look' by wetting models' hair and webbing hair it over their faces. Models at the Jacquemus AW15 show either wore paper masks, left, or artistic Picasso faces . Models in Atsuro Tayama's show wore kinked quiffs created

A naked man who claimed he was 'from a family of sasquatch' has been jailed for ten years after attacking an armed hunter in the woods. Jeff McDonald had gone out hunting for deer near his home in Manning, Oregon, when he saw Linus Norgren wearing what appeared to be 'tan clothing'. But when he got closer, Mr McDonald, who was carrying a high-powered rifle, realized that 22-year-old Norgren was in fact naked. Jailed: Linus Norgren, 22, was sentenced to 10 years in prison Tuesday for attacking a hunter while naked in woods in Manning, Oregon, in October 2013 . Mentally disturbed: Linus Norgren (pictured) attacked Jeff McDonald in the woods near Manning, Oregon, claiming he was from a family of sasquatch . Attack: Norgren had punched McDonald in the head and face and tried to choke him with the victim's own shirt . He told Oregon Live how he asked him for his name and received a normal response before Norgren said that he was 'a sasquatch from a family of sasquatches'. After offering to help take him home, Norgren struck Mr McDonald on the head with a rock, causing him to black out. When he woke up, Oregon Live reports, Norgren was on top of him and squeezing his hands tightly around his neck while Mr McDonald had suffered two dislocated shoulders. As the struggle unfolded he asked his attacker why he was trying to kill him to which Norgren replied: 'Sasquatch kills the hunter'. Mr McDonald said he managed to bite one of Mr Norgren's knuckles before the attacker appeared to 'pass out' on top of him. After a further struggle he managed to free himself and reach his gun, according to reports. Pointing his rifle at Norgren, he called 911. According to KPTV, McDonald told authorities they needed to get there quick, 'because I only have one option here and you know what it is'. Deputies eventually found them in thick forest after a 90 minute search. McDonald had held Norgren at gunpoint the whole time. Jeff McDonald had gone out hunting for deer near his home in Manning (pictured), Oregon, when he saw Linus Norgren wearing what appeared to be 'tan clothing' In court this week, Norgren said he was suffering 'catastrophic mental disturbances' at the time. Jurors were told that he had experiences symptoms of his 'untreated bipolar disorder', Oregon Live reports, while Norgren also told the court that he was acting in self-defense. 'I was injured already, I was naked and I was terrified,' Norgren said in court Tuesday, KPTV reported. 'Not to make excuses for myself, but Mr. McDonald's presence was absolutely terrifying. 'I truly believed I needed to defend myself to get out of that situation and go home. 'I didn't want to hurt him, I didn't want to hurt Mr. McDonald. 'I didn't want to kill him. I didn't want anything to happen to either of us.' 'I couldn't help it.' Guilty: Norgren was found guilty of attempted murder and second-degree assault last week. On Tuesday, he was sentenced to 10 years

Unless Manchester City can produce the greatest result in their European history - arguably their entire history - and overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit against Barcelona on Wednesday night, England faces an embarrassing total wipeout from this season's Champions League. With Paris Saint-Germain dumping Chelsea out last week and Monaco resisting Arsenal's spirited fightback on Tuesday night, we face the prospect of having no Premier League representatives in the quarter-finals. The English charge on the continent halted by mid-March? It never used to be like this, you know. Arsenal's Santi Cazorla is commiserated as Monaco celebrate knocking out the English side on Tuesday . Dejected Chelsea players walk off the field at Stamford Bridge after their Champions League exit to PSG . Joe Hart roars his frustration during Manchester City's first-leg defeat to Barcelona at the Etihad . This graphic showing the English clubs that have reached the Champions League quarter-finals since 2004 . You don't have to flick too far back through the record books to find a time when England ruled in Europe's foremost club competition. The last halcyon days were the three seasons from 2006-07 until the end of 2008-09, when the Premier League supplied 11 of the 24 quarter-finalists. Going back to Liverpool's miraculous triumph in Istanbul in 2005, England has provided eight of the 20 finalists. In the 2006-07 season, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all made it to the semi-finals. They all repeated the feat 12 months later, with United beating Chelsea on penalties in the Moscow final. In 2008-09, United knocked out Arsenal in the last four, while Barcelona squeezed past Chelsea. Since then, it's been an overall trend of decline. While United were runners-up again in 2011 and Chelsea lifted the trophy in 2012, as well as reaching the semi-finals last season, the English dominance seen during that golden three-year period hasn't been replicated. Chelsea and Manchester United contested the 2008 Champions League final in a golden period for England . Man United met Arsenal in the Champions League semi-finals in the 2008-09 campaign . Chelsea and Liverpool met in the 2008 Champions League semi-finals, with the London club advancing . The mantle has been passed to Spain, who will expect to see Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the last four unless paired in the next round. So while the Premier League continues to grow ever-richer, with the astonishing £5.1bn television deal signed earlier this year ensuring record returns for years to come, money doesn't necessarily guarantee success across the board in Europe. Though Chelsea reached the last four a year ago, United exited at the quarter-final stage, while City and Arsenal departed in the last 16. The season 2012-13 was even worse, with United and Arsenal crashing out in the last 16 and Chelsea and City failing to get out of their groups. There isn't one single reason to explain this slump in Premier League performance, but a growing school of thought is that the lack of a winter break is beginning to hold our teams back. Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene

Summary: Chelsea and Arsenal are already out of Champions League at last-16 stage . Man City are likely to follow, trailing Barcelona 2-1 after home leg . Liverpool didn't even get through the group phase this season . Premier League clubs' performance has declined in last few seasons . Golden period between 2006-2009 saw England with 11 quarter-finalists . Managers are increasingly calling for winter break to boost chances . All participants have struggled with intense and relentless fixture list .


A talented horsewoman killed herself hours after her beloved mare was put to sleep, an inquest heard. Stephanie Lees, 42, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, was found clutching a lock of her horse's mane after taking her own life when the animal had to be put down. The equestrian had devoted ten years to caring for her horse Jake, who she rode in the fields and lanes around her rural village, and had become even more attached to him when her other horse, Elliot, died three years ago. Stephanie Lees, 42, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, was found clutching a lock of her horse's mane after taking her own life when the animal had to be put down following illness in November last year, inquest told . The equestrian had devoted ten years to caring for her horse Jake (pictured together in 2008), who she rode in the fields and lanes around her rural village, and had became 'very distressed' when he became unwell . The animal, which had been lame for a few months, had to be put to sleep in November last year, due to an illness called colic, which manifested following an operation on its leg. However, Ms Lees – a chartered surveyor for Barnsley Council - was unable to cope with the animal's death and took her own life just hours after the horse was put down. Ms Lees, who was single and had no children, had been unable to ride Jake for more than a year due to his ill health and had struggled to cope as she watched the animal deteriorate. At an inquest into her death in Sheffield today, her friend Jane Taylor told of her utter shock at finding her on Remembrance Day last November. She said: 'That day I went up to the stables to go for a ride with my friend Helen. 'We passed a gateway that gives access to a parking area. I heard Helen say 'Oh my God', then I heard the words 'Steph'. The inquest heard how Ms Taylor 'knew Steph was dead' after touching her shoulders and the pair called the emergency services. Ms Lees, a chartered surveyor who was single, became even more attached to Jake when her other horse Elliot (pictured in 2000) died three years ago . She added: 'She had a lock of her horse's hair in her hands'. Another close friend of Ms Lees, Joanne Weatherall, said: 'Stephanie remained with Jake right up until the point the vet administered the injection. She was very upset.' Police officer Stephen Taylor, from South Yorkshire Police, told the hearing that following the equestrian's body being found, a search of her house uncovered a note. He said: 'It was basically saying that she lived for her horses and because the horse had been put to sleep she couldn't cope anymore. 'There was also a list of a dozen friends giving an amount of money to each person on the list.' Recording a verdict of suicide, assistant coroner Julian Fox said: 'She had been a great lover of horses in

An illegal immigrant who committed 'revolting' sex offences on the London Underground could receive a £7,000 payout because he was kept in jail for 'too long' while officials tried to deport him. Naseer Chawki, who claims to be 34 and from Iran, was detained for more than four years while Home Office officials fought for deportation, after he was convicted of sexually abusing two women on a rush-hour Piccadilly Line train. But he has now won a High Court battle against Home Secretary Theresa May, after a judge ruled that he had been illegally held for seven months - against his human rights - during that process. Naseer Chawki, who sexually assaulted two women on a rush-hour Tube, could be awarded £7,000 after the High Court (pictured) ruled he was unlawfully held for ten months while officials tried to deport him . Deputy High Court Judge Stephen Morris said Chawki's payout is yet to be assessed, giving no indication of what the figure would be. But according to human rights lawyers, the payout given to Chawki could be between £5,000 and £10,000. In 2013, a Supreme Court judgment set a precedent that those detained illegally should receive around £1,000 for each month they are held against their human rights. It means Chawki can expect to receive around £7,000. During today's hearing in London, the court heard how Chawki - who has failed in a bid to claim asylum - arrived in Cardiff from Iran in 1999 before moving to Liverpool. He then moved to Seven Sisters, north London. The court heard how, in November 2008, Chawki was given a three-year jail term for carrying out two sex assaults on the London Underground, as well as possessing a false identity document. Home Secretary Theresa May (pictured) had claimed Chawki was held because he posed a 'serious risk' to the public but has lost the case . Chawki had pleaded guilty to the offences, after he pressed himself against the women on a crowded rush-hour train. The attacks had been witnessed by commuters and Chawki was later traced using DNA evidence and Oyster card records. During the hearing over those offences, the court heard how the 'revolting' sex attacks had had 'very lasting effects' on the victims. Judge Martin Beddoe, who heard the case at Southwark Crown Court, said he would recommend deportation after he had served time in jail for the crimes. Chawki was then released from jail in December 2009. Following an order for his deportation, he was placed in immigration detention, while officials began the process. But he was released from immigration detention in March last year after attempts to deport him failed. He was made to wear a monitoring tag. After his release, Chawki launched a legal battle, claiming he had been held in immigration detention when then was 'no prospect' of him being deported. Mrs May disputed his claim, saying he posed a 'serious risk of harm' and that there was a 'serious risk' that he would abscond. Judge Morris ruled that detention had been lawful for the majority

Summary: Naseer Chawki, from Iran, was convicted in 2008 of assaulting two women . After his release, he was put in detention while officials tried to deport him . But 34-year-old was released in March last year after deportation failed . He has now won High Court battle because he was held for seven months too long .


True meaning of Easter: The eggs were backed by Archbishop of York John Sentamu, who is urging the supermarkets to rethink . Supermarkets have been accused of pursuing an ‘anti- Christian agenda’ after refusing to sell Easter eggs with a religious message. Some of Britain’s biggest stores are celebrating the most profound event in the Church calendar by offering treats featuring everything from Darth Vader to Postman Pat – but turned down products that mention Jesus. One chain even asked ‘what has Easter got to do with the Church?’, according to the makers of The Real Easter Egg, which features Christian crosses on the box and contain a leaflet telling the story of the Resurrection. Now Archbishop of York John Sentamu has stepped in – urging Sainsbury’s, Asda and the Co-op to stock the charity eggs – while former Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey said he was ‘saddened’ by the three supermarket giants’ decision. Lord Carey said: ‘The rest are rubbish. These Easter eggs that have nothing to do with Easter, all they are trying to do is get more money out of people. They have no meaning. I think it shows ignorance on the part of these supermarkets. ‘By not offering an alternative to secular Easter eggs they are really undermining the real message of Easter. It saddens me because we are living in a land that is completely losing contact with its religious roots and is out of touch with the Christian message.’ David Marshall, the head of the Meaningful Chocolate Company, said the supermarkets appeared biased against its ‘proven seller’. He said: ‘We do wonder at times if there is an anti-Christian agenda from some of our supermarkets who just keep turning it down. It is as if some feel Christianity is politically incorrect or the Easter story, which mentions Jesus, might put people off. ‘One buyer asked us what Easter had got to do with the Church, while another simply said, “I don’t think this is a credible product” and asked us to leave.’ The Warrington-based firm has spent five years trying to persuade stores to sell its £4 Christian-themed eggs, which were launched in 2010 with the backing of Archbishop Sentamu. At first the supermarkets refused, but two years ago, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and the Co-Op bowed to pressure and agreed. But this year Sainsbury’s and the Co-op have dropped the eggs, blaming poor sales, while Asda has never stocked them. However, the Meaningful Chocolate Company say a million eggs have been sold over the past five years. 'Poor sales': Sainsbury's and Co-op have cited poor sales as the reason they dropped the Eggs, while Asda said it has not be approached by the makers of the egg . Archbishop Sentamu, who has lamented ignorance about Easter after learning that a third of children thought it marked the birthday of the Easter bunny, said yesterday: ‘With a million Real Easter Eggs sold I am delighted that Morrisons, Tesco and Waitrose have met the challenge. I call on Sainsbury’s, Asda, and the Co-operative to give their customers

Summary: Several major supermarkets refuse to stock charity's The Real Easter Egg . The egg features Christian crosses and a leaflet on the Resurrection . Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey was ‘saddened' by the decision . Archbishop of York John Sentamu urges supermarkets to sell charity eggs .

It's probably totally to do with my age I'm sure, but I don't think of the Eighties as that old. Big hair on our heads. Madonna in a state of undress. House music on the dancefloors. Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet on tour. I could be describing last weekend, let alone something that is in fact four decades old. But I am happy to commit that era to the past if it means Sky Sport's new documentary 'Chelsea: Black & Blue' can be seen as a truly historical document. Chelsea's first black footballer Paul Canoville has been the subject of documentary Chelsea: Black & Blue . Talented Chelsea winger Caoville was racially abused by his own supporters during the Eighties . Canoville was targeted by racists after signing for Chelsea in 1981 before making his debut a year later . BORN: England, March 4, 1962 (age 52) 1981-1986: Chelsea (79 lg apps, 11 gls) 1986-1987: Reading (16, 4) 1988-1989: Enfield (9, 2) 1990-1991: Maidenhead United (17, 3) Because it told the incredible story of Paul Canoville, the talented young winger who in 1982 became Chelsea's first black player. And in doing so, also told of the torrid time he had in that pioneering role; one which, as we go on to discover, was in fact crucial in the development of both the club and its supporters. Yet this is not all. Because although this was clearly a massive part of Paul's life and career, it paled in comparison to some of the other adversities that he has faced. Adversities that, as a viewer and a human being, you ultimately are delighted this incredible individual has gone on to overcome. In 'Chelsea: Black & Blue', Canoville proved himself more than eloquently capable of recalling how it was for him from the time he signed professional forms from his local club Hillingdon Borough in 1981. He talked vividly and emotionally, for example, about warming up as a sub for his debut at Crystal Palace the next year, and thinking 'are they for real?' as he heard a torrent of racial abuse. Then on turning and telling them to 'say that to my face', he discovered 'it was my own fans'. 'All I wanted to do was get off the pitch,' he added, and this was only the beginning of how life was going to be as a pioneer at the club. A time that ended when 'one of their favourites called me a racist name. I didn't take it too well. And I was edged out.'

Canoville makes a prize draw during a Premier League match between Chelsea and Blackburn in 2009 . This 'favourite', although discussed, is never named in the documentary. In between Paul's heartfelt confessions are testimonials from other men who'd had a vested interest in Canoville's career. And they all gave a vivid context to the times in which Canoville was making his way in the game. DJ Trevor Nelson is

Summary: The new Sky Sports documentary goes through the life of Paul Canoville . Talented winger Canoville became Chelsea's first black player in 1982 . Canoville was racially abused by his own supporters during the Eighties . During the documentary, we are told a fan approaches Canoville because he needed to apologise for having been one of those racist abusers . His career ended in injury, going broke, turning to drugs, getting clean, twice being diagnosed and beating cancer, and losing a nine-day-old son .


Taron Stead, 17, was cycling to work when he was hit by a car in Sheffield. The driver got out but told him she would be late so left him at side of the road . A mother who hit a teenage cyclist in her car while on the school run refused to help him because she 'didn't want her children to be late'. Taron Stead, 17, from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, was cycling to work in early morning rush hour traffic when he was hit by a silver car and knocked off his brand new mountain bike. The woman then got out of the car and reportedly told him her children were inside and would be upset by the blood, before driving off without exchanging details. The IT apprentice was left at the side of the road with cuts and bruises to his hands and face and was cared for by staff from nearby Sheffield University until paramedics arrived. His furious mother, Naomi Pickard, 45, has released a photograph of his injuries in that hope that it will encourage witnesses to come forward. She told the Sheffield Star: 'Taron said the woman in the car got out looked over at him, told him she had children in the car who were upset and she didn't want them to be late for school, then the car drove off. 'I can't believe anyone would leave an injured child at the side of the road after a crash, but it was rush hour and it would have been busy so I am hoping that witnesses come forward and help the police trace the driver. 'Fortunately he was wearing a helmet, or I dread to think what might have happened.' The teenager had only bought the bike three weeks ago with money from his first apprenticeship wage. A nearby Halfords store has since offered to repair his bike free of charge after hearing about the accident. A South Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said: 'On Friday, March 6, it is reported that a cyclist was travelling towards Brook Hill, along Crookes Valley Road, onto Winter Street . He was hit at the junction of Mushroom Lane in Sheffield and Crookes Valley Road (pictured) and left at the side of the road covered in blood. Staff from the nearby university stayed with him until paramedics arrived . 'At about 8.30am, the cyclist and a vehicle turning onto Mushroom Lane were in collision. The cyclist suffered facial injuries and bruising. 'It is reported that the vehicle left the scene. The vehicle is described as a silver Ford, either a Focus or Mondeo.' Anyone with information is asked to call South Yorkshire Police on 101.

Emilio Butragueno believes a miss by Gareth Bale was a turning point in the El Clasico defeat to Barcelona and the Real Madrid director does not include the Wales star among the players he believes can revive the club's title hopes. Bale skewed a shot wide after the ball fell to him unmarked in the penalty area from a corner in the 43rd minute. Madrid were in the ascendancy at the time but were punished for not making their dominance pay in the second half, as Luis Suarez struck in the 56th minute to decide the encounter at the Nou Camp and send Barcelona four points clear of Madrid atop La Liga. Gareth Bale has been criticised by fans, Spanish media and a Real Madrid director for his El Clasico display . Emilio Butragueno (left) believes Bale's miss at the end of the first half was a crucial moment in El Clasico . Bale (right) sent a shot wide after getting the ball from a corner in the 43rd minute with the scores level . Butragueno believes had Bale converted the opportunity, Madrid would have gone on to win the game and replace Barcelona at the summit of the Spanish league. 'In big games like this, everyone has their moments, but we didn't take ours. We missed some clear chances,' Butragueno said. 'We had some very clear chances, particularly Bale's following a corner. We lacked that little bit of luck to get the second. 'If we had scored, I think we'd have given much more. 'We're saddened by the result because in the first half we dominated them, created chances and played really well.' Butragueno, a striker who won La Liga six times at the Santiago Bernabeu during his playing career from 1984-1995, believes Madrid have the calibre of squad to overturn the four-point deficit that separates Madrid and Barcelona after the result. But tellingly, he did not list Bale in the players he believes will be key to any upturn from Carlo Ancelotti's team. 'There are 10 games to go. We must continue getting our injured players back,' Butragueno explained. '(Luka) Modric had a great game, giving us security in midfield, while James (Rodriguez) will soon be back with us. Bale (right) had a goal ruled out in the first half as Cristiano Ronaldo was offside in the build-up play . Butragueno praised the performances of Ronaldo (left) and Luka Modric (right) in El Clasico . Bale (left) takes on Neymar (centre) and Jordi Alba as Madrid lost 2-1 to Barcelona at the Nou Camp . '(Cristiano) Ronaldo was also very good and, in the first half, Karim Benzema was fantastic. 'There are still many challenges ahead and this team has enormous potential.' Since the turn of the year, Bale has struggled to reach the form that coerced Madrid to pay Tottenham £86million for his signature in 2013. The attacker, who had a goal disallowed because Ronaldo was offside when he headed the ball into Bale's path, appeared to be targeted by Madrid supporters after defeat to their fierce rivals. The

The washing machine-sized Philae probe gripped the imaginations of the world when it landed on comet 67P on 12 November 2014. But after making two unscheduled bounces on the surface, the probe landed in an unknown location and ran out of power. Now, as the comet approaches the sun and solar rays recharge Philae's batteries, Rosetta mission manager Patrick Martin tells MailOnline he is confident of finding the probe soon - but it will be a race against time to get it working again. He warned that once the comet begins heading away from the sun in August it will enter hibernation again - but this time for good. Rosetta mission manager Patrick Martin told MailOnline he is confident of making contact with Philae on comet 67P soon (approach of lander on 12 November shown). The probe has been silent since it ran out of power in November, and Esa scientists in Germany recently failed to make contact . Last week, experts at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) abandoned an eight-day attempt to find the probe - the first attempt at trying to restart communications since it went dark. Philae only had a limited battery supply when it landed, lasting just 60 hours before it ran out of energy. The Rosetta probe, which was carrying Philae, launched into space in 2004, using the gravity of Earth and Mars to slingshot its way towards comet 67P. It chased comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko through space for more than ten years, and entered orbit in August 2014. After a four billion mile (6.5 billion km) journey, the probe then successfully released the Philae lander from its grip to land on the comet on 12 November 2014, travelling at 1 metre (40 inches) per second relative to the comet. But when it first made contact with the surface it failed to fire harpoons that would have kept it attached to the comet. This resulted in it bouncing to a height of 0.62 miles (1km) above the comet before again landing on the surface. It then bounced again, but to a much lower altitude. It managed to perform more than 90 per cent of its goals before running out of power. Rosetta is continuing to orbit and study the comet. Scientists recently said that water on the comet was different to that on Earth - suggesting water on our world came from an asteroid, not a comet. But it is covered in solar panels and, as the comet approaches the sun, it is expected to get enough power - 19 watts - from its panels to make contact with the orbiting Rosetta spacecraft. There will be several windows of opportunity as Rosetta makes its way around the comet for the two unmanned spacecraft to talk to each other. The next of these will be on 13 April. Making contact will enable scientists to get Philae to continue the groundbreaking science it managed to perform in its brief operational time on the surface - and it will also allow Rosetta to pinpoint its location. Speaking about the attempt to find

Summary: Rosetta mission manager Patrick Martin told MailOnline he is confident of making contact with Philae on comet 67P soon . The probe has been silent since it ran out of power in November . Esa scientists in Germany recently failed to make contact . But Mr Martin said they have a '50:50' chance of making contact on 13 April . However, they want to find it before the comet leaves the sun in August . After this, the probe will eventually run out of power - this time forever . The team wants to perform as much science as possible before then .


More beheaded animals have been found near the Northern California city of Sacramento, the latest in a string of mutilations since the beginning of the year. A birdwatcher working the fields of Yolo County on Sunday found a collection of five beheaded chickens and a beheaded turtle. Gina Knepp, who runs Sacramento's Front Street Animal Shelter, says it's the second find that included a turtle. Beheadings continue: A birdwatcher in Sacramento found five beheaded chickens and a turtle in a shopping bag dumped in a field. The find comes just wees after an animal control officer discovered chicken carcasses in a bag (pictured) She suspects the remains might be related to Santeria or other religious rituals that include animal sacrifices. ‘The turtle is a sign of Santeria, based on the little I know,’ Knepp told The Sacramento Bee. More common in Florida than California, Santeria is an Afro-Cuban religion that includes animal sacrifice. Chickens, goats and other animals are used in its rituals. The newspaper reports there have been at least 13 separate discoveries of decapitated goats, sheep and chickens and other animals since January. A county animal control officer went to the area of Babel Slough and South River roads shortly after the birdwatcher at 2pm called in a report of animal carcasses, a sheriff’s sergeant said. The Sunday discovery was the first reported since a Sacramento Bee reporter March 4 found a bag of decapitated chickens along the railroad tracks at 20th and W streets in Sacramento. The birdwatcher who made the disturbing discovery Sunday said the animal carcasses looked 'very fresh' and the blood appeared 'very red.' Earlier this month, two decapitated chickens were found in a box along a bike trail near the Sacramento River . The remains of the decapitated chickens and turtle were stuffed inside a brown supermarket shopping bag, which also featured simplistic yet ominous drawings. 'It looked to me like stick drawings of a head and a neck with a line drawn through it,' she said. Earlier this month, authorities reported finding two bags containing dead animals beside railroad tracks in Midtown Sacramento. One bag contained a beheaded rabbit with several tea candles. A second bag held at least two decapitated chickens with their feet cut off . Two weeks ago, two decapitated chickens were found in a box along a bike trail near the Sacramento River. Inside the box were also five blood-soaked $1 bills . The mystery began last fall, when a 120lb cow's head was found in Reichmuth Park and another one was found a few miles away at Garcia Bend Park.

Summary: Birdwatcher on Sunday found a collection of five beheaded chickens and a beheaded turtle in a brown bag . There have been at least 13 separate discoveries of decapitated goats, sheep and chickens and other animals since January . It is suspected that people practicing the Afro-Cuban religion Santeria may be responsible for the spate of killings .


Jordan Rhodes shrugged off the fierce speculation over his future by snatching an injury-time winner for Blackburn at Ewood Park. This derby was drifting towards a goalless draw when Tom Cairney sent over a corner with 15 seconds remaining of the four added minutes. Doneil Henry flicked on and Rhodes stuck out a boot to score his 14th goal of the season from close range. It was an amazing finish after 48 hours of questions about the possibility of the striker leaving Blackburn.

Middlesbrough have offered to take Rhodes to the Riverside on loan for the rest of the season with a view to signing him permanently for a fee of £8million, potentially rising to £10m. Their Championship promotion rivals Derby, Norwich, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest have also registered an interest in Blackburn’s record £8m signing who still has four-and-a-half years left on his contract at Ewood. But having rejected a £12m offer from Hull City last summer, Blackburn’s owners Venky’s are reluctant to sell while their club still have an outside chance of reaching the playoffs following this win, as well as the prospect of a FA Cup quarter-final replay with Liverpool next month. Asked if he has been given assurances that Rhodes will not be sold, manager Gary Bowyer replied: ‘Yes, it just wouldn’t add up. Why would you loan out your top goalscorer? My five-year-old nephew might be able to work that one out. ‘I can’t answer on behalf of Middlesbrough but Jordan has just scored the winner and he will be starting at Charlton on Saturday. ‘He just handles the speculation enormously well. I was quietly confident of him scoring tonight, to be perfectly honest, because that’s what he does when there’s all the talk.’ Bowyer described this as Blackburn’s best win of the season after the physical and mental energy his players exerted in Sunday’s goalless draw with Liverpool at Anfield. They lost Corry Evans and Markus Olsson to injury in the first-half but Ben Marshall should have put them ahead in stoppage time when he headed over from Craig

Summary: Jordan Rhodes has been strongly linked with a move away from Blackburn . He scored in the 90th minute to give Rovers victory over Bolton . The 25-year-old signed for Blackburn for £8million in 2012 .

Jon Walters is the kind of footballer who holds up an imaginary substitutes’ board when a referee goes down injured, who picks up a matchday programme hurled in his direction and has a flick through. During Stoke’s victory at Aston Villa last month, his reaction to referee Roger East’s attack of cramp was more comic than concerned. It was similar when an irate Newcastle fan chucked the makeshift missile as celebrations followed Peter Crouch’s equaliser. ‘A referee with cramp! Can you believe it?’ chuckles Walters. ‘He needed to come off, didn’t he? The programme was a good read. 10 out of 10. You’ve got to enjoy yourself. When need be, I’ll get stuck in but I play with a smile. Jon Walters spoke about many subjects, including his desire to play in Euro 2016, in a revealing interview . The Stoke City star takes his football seriously but also has a a fun side as his on-field antics show . The 31-year-old striker/winger claims he has mellowed since being involved in a ruck with Roy Keane . ‘It’s the best job in the world, if you don’t enjoy it there’s something wrong.’ That encapsulates Walters, one of the Premier League’s unlikely lads; tough yet funny, revelling in his fifth year as a Premier League player. He is delivering one-liners on the radio that amuse and slightly frighten, suggesting in the wake of the Jonny Evans-Papisse Cisse flare-up that any player who spat in his face will be ‘eating his supper through a straw’. He is laughing about his appearance in Roy Keane’s book during their final fraught days together at Ipswich — ‘a bust-up… effing and blinding’ — having buried the hatchet at Republic of Ireland camps. ‘I knew what was going to be written… it could have been worse,' he says. And he is pleased by having had such a good season after an inauspicious start. Walters became the first Stoke player to score a Premier League hat-trick with his right-foot, left-foot, header combination against Queens Park Rangers in January and was shortlisted for Ireland’s player of the year award. All this after losing his place at Stoke side last summer. His appearance in Ireland’s dramatic 1-1 draw in Germany in October meant he had completed more minutes for country than club: 180 to 139. ‘We were losing games and I wasn’t getting on, that made me worry more than anything,’ admits Walters, 31. ‘I was going away with Ireland asking a few of the lads how many games they’d played. The Championship lads were saying, “15, 20...”. I’d played two. Jesus! ‘Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane showed a lot of faith to play me. Then I came on (for Stoke) against Swansea when we were chasing the game and I scored. Since then I’ve stayed in the team.’ Walters flicks through a matchday programme thrown at him after Peter Crouch scored against Newcastle . The Potters joker found the funny side when referee Roger East was forced to withdraw with cramp . Walters carries the match ball after becoming the

Summary: Jon Walters is Stoke's leading scorer in the Premier League this season . Forward is expected to play for Ireland in Euro 2016 qualifier vs Poland . A bust up with Roy Keane was highlighted in the former Ipswich manager's autobiography but veteran forward claims to have calmed down now .

Rev Jackson confirmed to WGN that he is with his son and they are on their way to a halfway house in Washington D.C. Jackson's plea deal was arranged just two days after he was re-elected to represent his Illinois congressional district. At the time Republicans cried foul, noting that they would have had a chance to win his seat if news had emerged before Election Day. Jackson began the sentence on November 1, 2013. The Bureau of Prisons lists his final release date as September 20, 2015. The disgraced lawmaker's crime was officially described as wire and mail fraud, catch-all federal criminal categories frequently used as placeholders for financial corruption. His wife, Sandra, was also sentenced to a year in prison in connection with the corruption scheme. She pleaded guilty to a single charge of filing a false tax return in an attempt to hide the fraud. Court documents showed that Sandra, a Chicago city councilwoman when she was charged, had spent her husband's campaign funds on vacations, electronics and furs. She was ordered to pay $22,000 in restitution, in addition to the $750,000 her husband had to pay back. The U.S. Marshals Service seized all the items purchased illegally and auctioned everything to repay what they stole. Also sold was their richly decorated Washington, D.C. townhouse. The haul included one of the late singer Michael Jackson's fedoras and a guitar reportedly signed by both Michael Jackson and rock star Eddie Van Halen. In an unusual arrangement, a federal judge allowed Mrs. Jackson to avoid reporting to prison until her husband's release so that their children would not lose

A man who tipped the scales at 35 stone due to years of binge drinking and eating junk food says he should be given gastric bypass surgery on the NHS in order to lose weight. Mark, 45, from Glasgow suffers from lymphangitis - a painful swelling of his legs - and is at risk of diabetes because of his size. He struggles with his mobility and has had to have hand rails and extra banisters fitted around his home to help him use the stairs. He also needs straps to help him lift his limbs into bed and can't put his own shoes on because of his girth. Scroll down for video . Scottish Mark who tips the scales at 35 stone due to years of binge drinking and eating junk food says he should be given gastric bypass surgery on the NHS in order to lose weight .

From the age of 13 a lot of drink and food. I reckon lager had a lot to do with the weight initially,' he explained. 'I don't want people to feel sorry for me. I have lost weight and it's the easiest thing in the world to put it back on. All I am looking for is help to keep it off by restricting what I can eat.' He says his problem with food is an addiction and he should be supported in the same way people are when they try to give up addictions to cigarettes and alcohol. 'Especially in Scotland we live in a fried culture, everything is fried and greasy or fat, usually that stuff tastes the best. There's not enough healthy options out there.

A Utah restaurant has caused a stir over the anatomy of a giant bull it uses to advertise the eaterie, . Businessman Stephen Ward applied to Hurricane City council for permission to erect the giant bull above his restaurant named Barista's and unveiled the beast earlier this month. However, locals have attacked the massive sign and have even started a petition for the council strip restaurant of its business licence. Locals in Utah have complained about the size of a bull's anatomy, pictured perched above Barista restaurant . More than 500 people have signed a petition for the restaurant to lose its business licence due to the bull . Owner Stephen Ward, pictured, said locals in Hurricane City dislike him and that is why they are complaining . More than 500 people have already signed the petition, which has been created Charge.org. According to the petition: 'As a member of the Hurricane City council has already said, Barista's has given Hurricane, UT a "black eye". 'It's owner is a terrible representation of what our community stands for. He takes advantage of every person that walks into his restaurant. 'They intentionally take excessive advantage of those that are visiting our community from other parts of the world. 'They have a horrible reputation that shines a bad light on the rest of Hurricane, UT. We as a community will not stand aside and allow this false representation be made!' Local resident Denise Mackelprang told The St George News: 'It looks terrible. I could see the bull, but not the details of the sex. It’s R-rated to me, especially with young school kids seeing it and talking about it.' Fellow resident Lindsay Knapp complained: 'The giant bull is awesome. The giant, weird testicles and penis are not even anatomically correct … that is my issue.' However, Mr Ward said local residents do not like him and that is the main problem. He said: 'If I put Pinocchio up there, its nose would be too big. It’s me. It’s me. It’s not the bull. It’s not the restaurant. They don’t like me. But you know what, where does it say in the world, in the Constitution, that they can prevent me having the right to do legal commerce in the United States? That is my God-given right.' As well as the petition, some residents have threatened to go to a council meeting to lobby politicians to act against the giant bull.

The Australian businessman who allegedly masterminded an international paedophile ring has labelled himself 'bigger than Ben-Hur', maintaining that he isn't worried about what people think of him. Peter Gerard Scully, 51, was arrested in the Philippines in February on charges of sexually abusing 11 children, the youngest of whom was only 18 months old, and killing another young girl, but says he isn't concerned about being sentenced to life in prison. 'I get bigger than Ben-Hur and people get interested. There is nothing I can do about it, so why worry about it?' Scully said. Scroll down for video . Peter Gerard Scully alleged operated an international paedophile ring that served Australian clients, according to AFP investigators. 'If I get sentenced, I get sentenced. That is something out of my control,' he told The Sydney Morning Herald. Scully has been accused of sexually abusing two girls, aged 10, and 11, and forcing them to dig their own graves while they were held captive in his house. While the former businessman admitted they stayed in his house, he would not confirm the abuse. 'Accusations are [a] lot stronger than what really happened. That is something to talk about in the court which is the proper forum. There's nothing I can do to change what they [the girls] said,' Scully said. Videos seized in the Philippines last week allegedly show one of Scully's victims, a 13-year-old girl, being forced to perform lewd acts with a baby aged one and girl toddler aged five, leading to renewed calls to reintroduce the death penalty. The videos, including one called 'The Destruction of Daisy' shows whipping and torture along with other horrific acts, and was described by police as the most shocking child pornography that has ever been discovered in the Philippines. 'You are looking at recruitment of children to then be abused, to perform sexual acts for offenders that are scattered all over the world. It is horrific,' said Margaret Akullo from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. As a result of the horrific nature of his alleged crimes, the 51-year-old said he had been threatened by prisoners in the jail in southern city of Cagayan de Oro. Scully said that he was trying to avoid confrontation in order to not be harmed by any of the 300 prisoners in the jail, but that they were actively trying to scare him.

Chelsea took to Instagram on Saturday to back up their manager and attack the pundits who criticised their behaviour during the Champions League exit at the hands of PSG in midweek. Graeme Souness and Sportsmail columnist Jamie Carragher branded Jose Mourinho's team 'a disgrace' after they surrounded the referee to get Zlatan Ibrahimovic sent off during the 2-2 draw. But afterwards, Mourinho accused the pair of having short memories, pointing out both men's own on-field reputations. Jose Mourinho spikily replied to comments made by Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness . Chelsea players surround Bjorn Kuipers as the Dutch referee gives Zlatan Ibrahimovic his marching orders . And the club have put their weight behind his claims, publishing pictures of both Carragher and Souness confronting officials from years gone by. The post was captioned with the message 'For those with short memories...', and shows Carragher with his Liverpool team-mates protesting a decision in 2007, and Souness as Benfica manager in the late 1990s. Earlier this week Mourinho had hit out at both Souness and Carragher after the defeat to PSG on away goals. Every outfield Chelsea player except Oscar was involved in the mass protest during the PSG game . It was this tackle by the Swede on Oscar that had the Chelsea players swarming round the ref . ‘When Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness speak, it’s because they are having a problem for sure,' Mourinho said. 'Jamie stopped playing a couple of years ago and, in two years, he forgets everything he did on the pitch. Mr Souness also, but he stopped playing a long time ago. ‘I coached Benfica, I know a lot about him, so much about him. But I’m a certain kind of education, not just in football but in life, and I prefer to laugh.’ Carragher responded to the post on twitter, writing: 'I'm contesting a shocking penalty decision against Chelsea which the ref apologised for & Souey is backing his players like Jose does!!'

Barcelona manager Luis Enrique is looking to put pressure on La Liga leaders Real Madrid . Neymar will be a miss after his two goals against Villarreal on Wednesday helped Barca to a 3-1 win and 6-2 victory on aggregate in the Copa del Rey semi-final. Pedro has recently been linked with a move away from the Nou Camp at the end of the season, but Enrique insists he still has a role to play at Barcelona. 'He is a top player with great individual ability to score goals and open up the opposition,' Enrique told a press conference. 'He is also a team player and works hard. He would like to have more chances but he has always helped us when he has played.' Carlo Ancelotti's Real can go five points clear at the top with a win over Athletic Bilbao on Saturday evening, but it may only be temporary until Barca's game the morning after.

For Dundee United and Celtic, the trilogy becomes a quadrilogy. Already facing each other three times in three competitions at three different venues across the third month of the year, one final blast of beleaguered referee Craig Thomson’s whistle at Tannadice ensured yet another instalment of this saga. In the movie business, each successive film in a franchise tends to be markedly poorer than its predecessor. And as the dust settled on this breathtaking and at times bewildering contest of almost incessant controversy, the suspicion lingered that nothing that lies ahead in March could possibly match this blockbuster for drama, action and utter high farce. For on an astonishing Scottish Cup afternoon on Tayside, nine-man United fought to a valiant 1-1 draw against their 10-man visitors. This was a game scarred by two early red cards, ultimately three in total, but, in truth, there could have been five. One, dished out to the luckless Paul Paton, was a monumentally unjust case of mistaken identity. Leigh Griffiths wheels away to celebrate his equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Dundee United . Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk (right) was sent off after only nine minutes of the Scottish Cup quarter-final . In a case of mistaken identity, the referee also sent off Dundee United's Paul Paton . Adding to the scandal, Nadir Ciftci, the United striker who opened the scoring from the spot after team-mate Aidan Connolly appeared to dive to win a penalty, should not have been on the park at all after kicking out at Scott Brown. The Celtic captain was, himself, lucky to escape red for a quite awful challenge on the Turkish forward in the first place. And even after all that drama there was still room to plot in a villain-to-hero story, as Leigh Griffiths missed a penalty then scored an equaliser to break the heart of outstanding United keeper Rado Cierzniak. Griffiths’ beautiful header secured a replay at Parkhead on March 18 – the second of three games in a week between the teams – although the Celtic striker may now relinquish penalty duties. ‘I had the chance to get us back in it with the penalty but he saved it,’ said Griffiths. ‘I’d been practising in training all day yesterday [Saturday] and never missed a single one. I apologised to the fans because I never scored. It was my fault and if Kris Commons is back in the team next week he will be back on them because he’s No1 penalty taker. But if not I will put my hand up to take one because I am always confident. ‘Their goalie’s had one of those games, he saved everything we threw at him. I hope he’s not in that form in the final next week or we could be in trouble. But it was nice that I picked myself up to score.'

Leigh Griffiths missed a penalty before equalising for the Hoops .


Former referee Keith Hackett has called on Howard Webb to come out of retirement in a bid to improve the standard of officiating. Webb, widely considered one of England's best ever referees, retired in August 2014 to become the technical director of the Professional Games Match Officials Limited (PGMOL). His first season out of the game has been littered with refereeing controversies, the most recent of which have come inside the last week. Howard Webb, who is widely regarded as one of England's greatest ever referees, retired in August 2014 . Burnley's Ashley Barnes was not punished for a horror challenge on Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic . Martin Atkinson's decision not to punish Burnley's Ashley Barnes for a tackle on Chelsea's Nemanja Matic attracted widespread criticism, while on Saturday Roger East sent off Sunderland's Wes Brown for a foul John O'Shea committed against Manchester United. East claimed on Saturday, through a PGMOL statement, that he had considered Brown to be the guilty party, hence his dismissal. Hackett, who used to head up the PGMOL - a job now done by Mike Riley - wants Webb, 43, to return. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, he said: 'Referees are making big mistakes, week in, week out. They need some leadership and with that leadership the guy who is at the top needs to front up. 'He should be encouraging Howard Webb to come back into the game as a referee. I don't know what Howard is doing behind the scenes with the referees.' Hackett has not been shy in criticising standards over recent weeks and says officials are giving away cards 'like confetti'. John O'Shea fouled Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao in the box, but Wes Brown was sent off instead . The Sunderland players crowded round referee Roger East but the incorrect decision was allowed to stand . On the East decision, he said: 'I think it was another error in refereeing that we've seen, we're seeing it pretty often. 'I don't know if the referee was trying to be too clever or naive. He's guessed, incorrectly, dismissed the player which is a real cardinal sin. 'Sending a player off is belittling at any stage of play. I worked hard to reduce the number of yellow cards and red cards when I was the position of the general manager of PGMOL. These guys seem to be pushing them around like confetti and in their eagerness and forgetting that their job is to get decisions correct.' The East incident came on the very day that the International Football Association Board delayed trials of further use of video technology. The Dutch FA wanted to conduct live trials in the Dutch Cup next season, but were delayed by at least 12 months. The Football Association is also keen for further technology to be trialled, but chairman Greg Dyke told 5 Live he understood the problems referees were facing. 'I saw it (the East incident) briefly, mistakes happen, but what this shows is that referees make mistakes,' he said. 'If you could help that referee with

Summary: Former referee Keith Hackett has called Howard Webb to return to football . Webb retired in 2014 as one of the game's most respected officials . Officiating standards are perceived to have declined in recent seasons . Roger East wrongly sent off Sunderland's Wes Brown on Saturday .


Paul McCartney's rich neighbours have blown nearly half a million pounds fighting over a leaky gutter that would have cost just £7,000 to fix. Multi-millionaire property tycoon Brenda Fenton - who lives next door to the former Beatle - has been at war for years with surveyor, Clive Lewis, whose £20million mansion adjoins her own listed home. The trouble between the pair centres on water overflowing from a blocked gutter on an extension at the back of Mr Lewis's house and creating a damp problem in Mrs Fenton's mansion next door. Now a county court judge has ordered Mr Lewis to alter his house and pay his neighbour £250,000 in costs and damages, leaving him facing an estimated total bill for the dispute approaching half a million pounds. A row broke out between the owners of these two west London mansions over a £7,000 leaky gutter . The owners of the properties, which neighbour Paul McCartney's home, ended up going to court over the dispute and paid hundreds of thousands in legal fees . The court heard that wealthy widow Mrs Fenton, 84, moved into her home in St John's Wood, West London, 35 years ago. Sir Paul lives next door, in a house not far from the famous Abbey Road studios. Both Mrs Fenton and Mr Lewis are friends with the former Beatle, Judge Edward Bailey told Central London County Court, commenting that Mrs Fenton 'enjoyed an excellent relationship with her famous neighbour.' However the court heard that the relationship between Mrs Fenton and Mr Lewis is less friendly, and that since he bought his house in the late 1990s, she has been 'embroiled in a number of disputes' with him. Caroline Shea, for Mrs Fenton, told the judge that the dispute between the neighbours sprang out of a long-standing gripe about defective guttering on a glass-roofed extension to the back of the Lewis' palatial house. The extension, built in 1997, had inadequate guttering when it was put up, which Mr Lewis had also allowed to become blocked with leaves and other debris, the barrister said, causing damp problems in the day room, kitchen and garage of Mrs Fenton's own mansion. Brenda Fenton (left) insisted the extension of neighbour Clive Lewis (right) was ruining her own home . Miss Shea told the judge: 'Mrs Fenton is an elderly widow who has occupied her house for 35 years. She added: 'Mrs Fenton seeks injunctive relief requiring Mr and Mrs Lewis to rebuild the roof of the extension in such a way as to prevent rainwater running down to collect in the gutter and thence penetrating into [her home].' Philip Byrne, for Mr Lewis, denied that Mr Lewis had caused a 'nuisance' to his neighbour and dismissed expert reports linking the damp in Mrs Fenton's home to the gutter as 'erroneous.' The barrister said that Mr Lewis and his wife Marsha, an interior designer, put the blame for the malfunctioning guttering on Mrs Fenton's own wisteria plant, which they claimed was causing the blockage, and which was none of their responsibility. But Judge

Summary: Neighbours of former Beatle get on with star but took each other to court . Widow in his street claims her neighbour's leaky gutter damaged her home . Neighbour insisted the problem was caused by wisteria and not his gutter . Judge finds in favour of widow and orders neighbour to pay £250,000 .


We all know we should be eating the recommended ‘five a day’ of fruit and veg. Now there’s a host of exotic superfruits that are said to help reverse the skin’s ageing process, boost energy levels and even fight disease. MANGOSTEEN . Native to South-East Asia, mangosteen is also known as the ‘queen of fruit’, because Queen Victoria offered a reward to anyone who could deliver some to her palace. Perhaps she’d heard about its amazing health benefits, which range from healthy joints to improving the immune system. Mangosteen (pictured) is also known as the ‘queen of fruit’ and is native to South-East Asia . ‘Mangosteen has been touted for its high content of xanthone compounds, which studies have shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties,’ says Naomi Mead, lead nutritionist and founder of nutrition clinic Food First. Mangosteen is also good for acne, PMS and younger-looking skin. Buy your mangosteen in liquid form from Holland & Barrett (£2.45) or Planet Organic (£2.75), or order a bottle of capsules from biovea.com (£17.20). PITAYA . More commonly known as dragon fruit, this is mild- tasting, but packs a powerful nutritional punch. Pitaya (pictured) is more commonly known as dragon fruit and although it's mild-tasting it has high nutritional values . ‘Pitaya is rich in vitamin C, which has been repeatedly proven to protect against auto-immune diseases, heart problems and even the signs of ageing skin. It contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation and improve cell function,’ says Mead. Ocado stocks it in fresh (£2.99) and tea (£2.99) form. GAC . The spiky outer layer of this vine fruit might be poisonous, but the edible arils, or extra seeds, hidden inside are used across South-East Asia because of their fantastic red colour. Gac fruit (pictured) has a spikey outer layer which might be poisonous but the extra seeds inside are edible . The fruit contains huge amounts of beta-carotene and lycopene, known for their medicinal properties. ‘Research has found the concentration of lycopene in gac to be around ten times higher than in tomatoes and carrots,’ says Mead. ‘Several studies, including research from the School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences at Portsmouth University, suggest lycopene helps protect against cancer of the lung, stomach and prostate.’ Order gac, in powder form, for the princely sum of £66.57 from Amazon. No one said every superfood comes cheap. SAW PALMETTO . The berries of this plant have been used in American Indian herbal medicine for hundreds of years — and for good reason. The fruit contains antioxidant compounds that can help in the treatment of an enlarged prostate gland or benign prostate hyperplasia. ‘Clinical research has shown that taking one 320mg capsule of saw palmetto daily for two months before prostate surgery reduces blood loss, the development of problems during surgery and the total time spent in the hospital,’ says Mead. Capsules available from Holland & Barrett (£12.25) or Amazon (£7.99). LUCUMA . ‘Not only is it a good source of antioxidants, fibre, beta- carotene, niacin, potassium, zinc and iron, but the

Summary: Everyone knows that we should be eating 'five a day' These unusual fruits help reverse ageing, boost energy and fight disease . The fruits are native to areas like South-East Asia, China and Peru .


Devon Still shared some amazing news about his daughter Leah on Wednesday. The Cincinnati Bengals star wrote that 4-year-old Leah, who has been bravely battling stage 4 Neuroblastoma for the past year, was told that her cancer is in remission. 'Today we received news from Leah's oncologist that her cancer, stage four neuroblastoma, is officially in REMISSION!' wrote Still on his Instagram. Scroll down for video . Cincinnati Bengals star Devon Still shared the heartwarming news on Wednesday that his daughter Leah's cancer was in remisison . Leah has been been battling stage 4 Neuroblastoma since last June, and captured the hearts of millions as she fights the disease . 'Today we received news from Leah's oncologist that her cancer, stage four neuroblastoma, is officially in REMISSION!' wrote Still on his Instagram . He went on to say; 'After 296 days of day dreaming about what it would feel like to hear the doctors say my daughter is in remission, I finally know the feeling. Funny thing is there is really no way of describing it because I never knew this feeling existed. When I look at my daughter all I can do is smile and hug her.' He then went on to thank everyone from the doctors who helped his daughter to those who wrote her notes and everyone who shared her story. Leah's journey has been followed by millions since she first began receiving treatment last June at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. In September she had a tumor removed from her abdomen, and last month received what could be her final round of chemotherapy. She has also stayed remarkably active, walking in the Levi's Kids fashion show during New York Fashion Week in February and appearing in a music video for the song Truly Brave, a mashup of the Sara Bareilles song Brave and the Cyndi Lauper classic True Colors that was commissioned by Today anchor Hoda Kotb to raise funds for pediatric cancer research. In addition, she and her father have written a children's book to help other kids that are going through cancer treatment. Leah and her dad have also written a book that aims to help children who are battling the disease . The Bengals kept Still on their practice squad during the preseason so he could spend time with his daughter and receive their medical insurance . Leah's MBIG scans showed no active disease in her body, though the family is still waiting on an MRI and bone biopsy results . Last November, the Bengals presented a check for $1.3million to the Children's Hospital in Cincinnati for pediatric cancer treatment and research, money raised from the sale of Still jerseys. The team also honored Leah during a ceremony as well, and for the first time ever the young girl was actually able to attend a game since she had begun her treatment - and see her father play. The Bengals also helped Still and his daughter by excusing him from offseason activities so he could spend time with her in Philadelphia. And they kept him

There’s been a lot of focus lately on the rise of virtual reality. But one firm has developed what it considers to be the next level in gaming - a headset that lets you control on-screen and physical objects using just your mind. In a demonstration at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, MailOnline put the technology to the test to see if it lives up to the hype. Brain power: The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Australian-based Emotiv have developed what it considers to be the next level in gaming - a headset (pictured) that lets you control on-screen and physical objects using just your mind . The game was developed in partnership with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Australian-based Emotiv. A ‘driver’ is wired up to Emotiv’s electroencephalography (EEG) headset and the device is trained to read their unique brain patterns. The first step involves training the headset to learn the wearer’s ‘neutral’ state. This involves ‘clearing their brain’. They are then asked to think of a repetitive task that will associated with driving the car. This doesn't need to be a driving-related thought; it can be any thought that the wearer can continuously think and repeat. Victoria Woollaston tried out the IEEE and Emotiv technology at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Intense: MailOnline's Victoria Woollaston tries out the cutting-edge technology for herself . ‘This is the first time I’ve worn an EEG headset and expected it to be uncomfortable and intrusive, but it’s the opposite. You hardly notice you’re wearing it, although its not the most discreet wearable. ‘Training the headset took less than a minute, for both the neural and push states, but trying to clear your brain is tricky at the best of times, let alone at a noisy and busy trade show. The ‘push’ state activity can be any thought that the wearer can think about over and over again. The more precise the thought, the more accurate the pattern and command. I chose to think about the chords of Greensleeves on a piano, but this could be anything from writing your name to thinking of person’s face. As long as the thought is the same each time, the technology will work at its most efficient. During the race I didn’t realise I was moving the car because I was too busy thinking about the piano chords. My race time was nine seconds, which put me in 63rd place on the leaderboard or more than 100. It’s a very strange experience. It doesn’t feel like you’re doing anything and you can’t become immersed in the game or pay attention to the position of the cars because you’re concentrating on your thought pattern. The technology feels extremely futuristic and I can see its potential but I felt it took away from the enjoyment of playing the game.’ This is known as the ‘push’ state and for MailOnline’s test this involved thinking about playing Greensleeves on a piano and imaging the finger positions as they move through the chords. Once the headset

Summary: IEEE mind-controlled game is powered by an Emotiv headset . Headset uses electroencephalography (EEG) to monitor brain waves . Training session teaches the headset what ‘commands’ to respond to . Then the ‘driver’ simply has to think about moving the car to race . Product is a concept and there are no immediate plans to sell the game . Technology is on display at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona .


A green jacket worn by Network Ten’s Natarsha Belling to present the news is causing a stir on social media after her phallic shaped neckline was pointed out. A photo of Belling wearing the jacket in question on Ten’s Eyewitness News has been liked over 110,000 times on Facebook after the website Unilad posted the caption ‘once you see it, you cannot unsee it’.

The Channel Ten news presenter wore the green jacket with a pearl necklace at one point . Social media users laughed as they all realised what the joke was about . One Facebook user pointed out 'you gotta have one to find one' On Reddit, one commentator mused: 'I thought it was because her microphone looks like the claw of a monster' And Lourens Odendaal realised: ‘Ooo that’s what it was… now I get it.’ Meanwhile, on Reddit, one commentator mused: ‘I thought it was because her microphone looks like the claw of a monster about to burst from her chest.’ And another added: ‘I thought it was the slight crease in her v neck on the right side, yet the top was the same length… I was sure it wasn’t that so came to the comments. ‘I guess this means I'm growing up, because five years ago I’d see this straight away.’ The 39-year-old is an Australian national news presenter on the Network Ten .

Summary: Natarsha Belling wore the demure green jacket on Channel 10's news show . An image of her wearing it has now been liked over 110,000 times . Debate is raging on social media about the jacket's neckline . The fascination appears to stem from the fact it's hard to spot until it's pointed out - and then it can't be 'unseen'


A single mum is desperately saving every cent to fly to the U.S. for her three-year-old daughter's ear to be reconstructed so she doesn't get bullied about the birth defect when she starts school. You would never know to meet Autumn Byas, from Bass Hill in southwest Sydney, that she was born with a congenital deformity because her confidence and lust for life is oozing out of the energetic little girl. The adorable little girl may only be able to hear from her left ear but that doesn't doesn't stop her great love for music and dancing. But her mother, Tanya Byas, has been on a mission since her daughter was born with microtia to get to California for Autumn to have an operation because she can't have surgery in Australia until she is 10 years old - in seven years' time. Autumn Byas, from Bass Hill in southwest Sydney, was born without a right ear due to a congenital deformity . Her mother, Tanya Byas (right), has been on a mission to get to California for her daughter to have an operation because Autumn can not have surgery in Australia for another seven years until she is 10-years-old . Autumn loves music despite being deaf in her right ear . The condition, that affects about one baby in every 8,000-10,000 births, is treated differently in Australia with medical professionals using rib cartilage from the 10 year-old patient to recreate the ear, which takes six months to recreate. However in America, the surgical technique uses a synthetic framework and the body’s own tissue to create an ear during the eight-hour operation, meaing there are no age restrictions. 'They will use her good ear as a template and make it out of synthetic material but make it a bit bigger because ears only grow a little bit so when she grows up they will be even and they use her membrane skin to cover it,' Tanya explained. Autumn will also need a jaw reconstruction when she is about 12 or 13 years old. After scrimping, saving and fundraising, Tanya has booked her daughter in for the operation on June 2 but she is $20,000 short with just 10 weeks to go. Although Autumn is deaf in her right ear, she speaks well and has no other health complications but her mother's worst fear is that she will be tormented when she starts school in two year's time for looking different. You would never know to meet Autumn that she was born with a congenital deformity because her confidence and lust for life is oozing out of the energetic little girl - pictured at her dance class . 'With school and bullying the way it is at the moment - life is hard enough,' Tanya Byas said. 'She is so outgoing and free-spirited - it doesn't hold her back - she just goes about everyday life and I don't want that to change.' Paul Stanley from KISS was born with the same condition and was teased at school, and although it didn't stop the

Summary: Autumn Byas was born without an ear due to a congenital deformity . Surgery in Australia isn't done until kids are 10 so she is going to the U.S. The surgery costs $50,000 and her single mother needs another $20,000 . Tanya doesn't want her child to be bullied when she starts school in 2017 . Dinner will be held on Saturday and gofundme account setup to raise funds .
