After a six-month hiatus from golf over alleged cocaine and alcohol abuse, Dustin Johnson appears to be back on form. On Sunday the 30-year-old claimed victory at the elite World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championships in Miami, telling reporters that fatherhood was behind his improved focus. Following his win, Johnson was greeted at the 18th hole on the Trump National Doral course by his model fiancée Paulina Gretzky - daughter of former NHL great Wayne - and their son Tatum, who was born in January. The new parents shared a passionate kiss in front of cameras, while cradling their newborn between them. Gretzky described her husband-to-be as the 'best dad' and 'best friend' she could ever wish for. Scroll down for video . Passionate embrace: After claiming victory at the elite World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championships in Miami on Sunday, Dustin Johnson was greeted at the 18th hole by his family . Doting dad: He was overjoyed to see his model fiancée Paulina Gretzky - daughter of former NHL great Wayne - and their son Tatum, who was born in January . Perfect match: The new parents shared a passionate kiss in front of cameras, while cradling their newborn between them . She continued to ABC News: 'He's been so supportive with me and we're just there for each other. I couldn't be happier for him.' Talking about how fatherhood had changed his life for the better, Johnson added: 'It's hard to describe, but just from the first day he's born, your perspective on life completely changes. 'Things that were important aren't important anymore. 'It kind of makes life a lot easier I think, just because there's just one thing that's kind of all you think about. It definitely simplifies stuff.' When Johnson announced his decision to step away from golf last July due to 'personal challenges', rumors about his lifestyle swirled, including the suggestion that he may have been suspended by the PGA Tour. Indeed, Golf.com reported that Johnson had failed three drug tests: one for marijuana in 2009 and two for cocaine, in 2012 and 2014. Johnson celebrates with Donald Trump as he holds the Gene Sarazen Cup after winning the WGC-Cadillac Championship WGC at Trump National in Doral . Career success: Johnson turned professional as a golfer in late 2007 in his early twenties . However, the Tour - which had initially said it did not comment on rumors or speculation - released a statement saying Johnson had taken a voluntary leave of absence and had not been suspended. And in a news conference on Sunday when if he had ever failed a Tour drugs test, Johnson replied: 'No. Thanks'. In a candid interview with Sports Illustrated this January, Johnson revealed that alcohol was his real vice. He said he would excessively drink and party to relieve stress, with his tipple of choice being Grey Goose, soda and lime. In a bid to get clean, Johnson said he took time out from sport and concentrated on home life. Bundle of joy: Johnson's son Tatum Gretzky Johnson was born on January 19 .

The makeshift presentation area at the Palazzo di Venezzia and the standby winners’ press conference were all in vain. Wales recorded their second biggest RBS 6 Nations victory under Warren Gatland but - after bolting ahead in the three-horse race thanks to a George North hat-trick - they watched the trophy painfully slip out of their one-handed grasp. It was a scintillating second-half display at the Stadio Olimpico. Italy were chewed up and spat out, while Wales feasted like old emperors of Rome. Gatland’s side will take face from the performance and, looking ahead to the World Cup, the Kiwi rounded off the competition with no anxieties about September’s pool of death. Liams Williams celebrates after crossing over to score one of Wales' second half tries during a stunning display at the Stadio Olimpico . Wales wing George North crosses over for Warren Gatland's side as he managed a sensational second half try hat-trick out in Rome . Jamie Roberts opened the try account for Wales early in the first-half as Samuela Vunisa (centre) and Mauro Bergamasco (right) watch on . ITALY XV: McLean, Sarto, Morisi, Masi, Venditti, Haimona, Gori; Rizzo, Ghiraldini, Castrogiovanni, Biagi, Furno, Minto, Bergamasco, Vunisa . Replacements: Manici, Alberto De Marchi, Chistolini, Geldenhuys, Barbieri, Palazzani, Orquera, Bacchin . Tries: Venditti, Sarto . Conversions: Orquera . Penalties: Haimona, Orquera . WALES XV: Halfpenny, North, Davies, Roberts, Williams, Biggar, Webb; Evans, Baldwin, Jarvis, Charteris, Jones, Lydiate, Warburton, Faletau . Replacements: Owens, Gill, Andrews, Ball, Tipuric, Davies, Priestland, Williams. Tries: Roberts, Williams, North (3), Webb, Warburton, S.Williams . Conversions: Biggar (6) Penalties: Halfpenny (2), Biggar . ‘We won’t be going into the World Cup with any fears of not qualifying from our group,’ said Gatland. ‘We will improve as we spend time together and there is no fear about playing England at Twickenham, or Australia. We can go there with some real confidence and belief that we can get out of our group. ‘You have sides ranked fourth, fifth and sixth in the world, so that shows how tough it is to get out of that group. Fiji with preparation will be tough as well and it’s unfortunate that you are going to have one of the big teams not making the quarter-finals. That’s what has happened but we are confident we can get out of that group and progress to the quarter-finals.’ Italy, meanwhile, will be easy meat at the World Cup if they do not improve their flaky blue line of defence. They provided easy pickings in the second half, although that should not detract from Wales' ambition and enterprise shown after the half-time break. It was a stark contrast to the opening 40 minutes, when the visitors’ inexperienced front-row were shown up by the Azzurri pack. Italy had been slated, written off and identified as whipping boys, yet they came out growling in the national anthems and would have been in front at the break, had it not been for a Dan Biggar penalty on the stroke of Chris Pollock’s whistle. ‘It doesn’t matter who you’re playing against, it’s

Summary: Warren Gatland's side took a slender 13-14 first half lead out in Rome . Giovanbattista Venditti went over for Italy's try after Jamie Roberts had scored Wales' opener . Within the first fifteen minutes of the second-half Wales scored three quick-fire tries to go 13-35 up . The Welsh domination continued as Italy went down to 14 men twice, and Wales scored 47 unanswered points .


We've divided the Premier League into teams from the north and south of England - with Welsh side Swansea included in the south. Joe Bernstein had the choice to pick any players from the north, in any formation, with no limit on how many from each club. Rob Draper picked his South XI on Monday, and you can read that here. Here's how we split the clubs: . South . Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, QPR, Southampton, Swansea City, Spurs, West Brom, West Ham United . North . Burnley, Everton, Hull City, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Stoke City, Sunderland . North vs South. It is perhaps the fiercest argument between the people of England. But without dipping into the political allegiances, property prices and weather, we're sticking to the ultimate debating point – football. This week we are starting a new North vs South debate - who would you pick and who would win? In the NBA, each season they stage an All-Star match that pits the best from the West against the cream of the East. And wouldn't it be fascinating if the Premier League adopted a similar event? Yesterday, Rob Draper selected his South XI. Here, Joe Bernstein reveals his North XI - plus seven subs. Then on Wednesday, we'll reveal who would win the match thanks to our friends at Football Manager. And, as always, we want you to tell us who you would have picked in your team... Goalkeeper: Joe Hart (Manchester City) Tough call between David de Gea and Hart, but the City stopper is better at organising his defenders and more commanding in the air. And, as he showed against Lionel Messi, he can stop a penalty too. Right back: Daryl Janmaat (Newcastle United) Been outstanding this season and Toon fans will have an anxious wait this summer to see if a bigger club snaps him up. Janmaat can also play in the centre of the defence but he's most threatening down the right where his crosses would cause havoc to any rearguard. Creative player too. Centre half: Ryan Shawcross (Stoke City) Would surely have been an England regular if he played for a more glamorous club than Stoke. Better than Gary Cahill or Phil Jagielka, less injury-prone than Phil Jones. This team is so crammed with attacking talent, the two centre-halves are in purely to defend. And they're good at that. Joe Hart has been superb in the league and showed against Barcelona he can do it in Europe too . Daryl Janmaat has been outstanding this season and Newcastle fans will have an anxious wait this summer . Ryan Shawcross pictured scoring for Stoke City against Manchester United at the Britannia Stadium . Centre half: Martin Skrtel (Liverpool) Totally fearless, he keeps putting his head and body in the way of danger - just what you want from a centre-half. Useful in both penalty areas at set-pieces too, he gets his fair share of goals for a defender. Him and Shawcross wouldn't let anything pass, allowing the two

Summary: Joe Hart gets the nod ahead of David de Gea as North XI's goalkeeper . Sergio Aguero and captain Wayne Rooney lead the team up front . Michael Carrick and James McCarthy dominate in central midfield . Sportsmail will test who is better with help from Football Manager .

Taking statins (pictured) can increase your chance of developing diabetes by up to 46 per cent, research has shown . Taking statins can increase your chance of developing diabetes by up to 46 per cent, research has shown. The cholesterol-lowering drugs are thought to prevent the hormone insulin from working properly, which can trigger type 2 diabetes. The risk, which is far higher than previously believed, has prompted fresh concern about the side effects of the pills. The findings are particularly worrying as last year the NHS recommended that up to 17million adults should be on statins to prevent heart attacks and strokes. The drugs’ rationing body NICE published guidance last July urging GPs to prescribe them to anyone with a 10 per cent risk of developing heart disease in a decade. This represents around 40 per cent of adults in the UK, and academics said the advice was ‘foolhardy’ when so little was known about the side effects. In the latest study, scientists from the University of Eastern Finland studied 8,749 men aged 45 to 73 over a six-year period. Just under a quarter were taking statins when the study started. Some had only been on the pills for a few months, others for several years. Over the course of the study, the scientists found that taking statins increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 46 per cent. Their research, published in the journal Diabetologia, found that statins reduced the ability of insulin to break down blood sugar. This is known as insulin sensitivity, and was on average 24.3 per cent lower in men who were taking statins. The cholesterol-lowering drugs are thought to prevent the hormone insulin from working properly, which can trigger type 2 diabetes . The researchers believe that if insulin does not break down blood sugar, and the body’s sugar levels rise too high, then it can trigger type 2 diabetes. They concluded: ‘Statin therapy was associated with a 46 per cent increased risk of type 2 diabetes. 'The association of statin use with increased risk of developing diabetes is most likely directly related to statins decreasing both insulin sensitivity and secretion.’ Dr Aseem Malhotra, a consultant cardiologist in London, said that contrary to the NHS guidance, healthy adults should not be taking statins, adding: ‘I personally wouldn’t take it or recommend it to friend or family member who is otherwise healthy but let them make up their own minds after giving them all the information. ‘Eating a handful of nuts or four tablespoons of olive oil may be a more effective way at reducing risk of a heart attack, stroke or death and without the side effects.’ Professor Peter Weissberg, Medical Director at the British Heart Foundation, said healthy patients prescribed statins to prevent heart disease should take the ‘lowest possible dose’. He went on to warn that people with existing heart conditions should not stop taking the pills, saying: ‘It is important that people taking statins because of existing cardiovascular disease should continue to take them as the benefits will outweigh the risks.’

Summary: Stains are thought to prevent the hormone insulin from working properly . The risk has prompted fresh concern about the side effects of the pills . University of Eastern Finland studied more than 8,700 men aged 45 to 73 . NHS recommended last year that up to 17million adults should be on statins to prevent heart attacks and strokes .


Netflix has officially launched in Australia but it has been revealed the online streaming service's local offering carries 7,000 fewer titles than its U.S. version. Tech blogger Kenneth Tsang extracted all the movies and TV shows on offer in each country and put them in a spreadsheet, finding 1,116 titles in Australia compared with 8,499 in the U.S. A Netflix spokesman said the libraries vary from country to country, adding that they change every day. 'Our aim in Australia is not to replicate the American library,' he told Daily Mail Australia. Scroll down for video . Netflix has officially launched in Australia but its local offering carries 7,000 fewer titles than its U.S. version . 'As our library grows, we're collecting data and we can tailor our content as we spend more time in market because we understand what Australians are watching.' The spokesman added that content distribution deals prevented Netflix from carrying certain titles in Australia. 'That's purely down to distribution rights, many programs get snapped up by other services. 'Our goal is to work towards a global model, when that happens we will be negotiating rights on a global scale.' Mr Tsang also found that Netflix has 693 titles available only to Australian viewers. On Monday Netflix officially outlined its pricing scheme, and confirmed House Of Cards and Orange Is The New Black would be among its key TV shows on offer. The service launches on Tuesday charging $8.99 per month for a single screen (standard definition), $11.99 for two screens (high definition) and $14.99 for ultra definition on four screens. This makes Netflix's lowest offering the cheapest TV streaming option on the market. Orange Is The New Black will be available online on Netflix, but will also screen on Foxtel . Netflix original series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt starring Titus Burgess and Ellie Kemper (l-r) But competitor Stan – a joint partnership between Fairfax and the Nine Network – charges $10 per month for HD streaming on three screens.

Stan's exclusive series include Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul, season six of Community and Transparent along with a number of Channel Nine shows. Presto - a Foxtel-Seven West Media partnership - charges $9.99 per month for TV shows or movies only, or $14.99 for both. All packages are standard definition. Presto carries Channel Seven content and a number of older HBO and Showtime series including The Sopranos, Sex And The City and Dexter but most of those networks' series still in production - including HBO's Game Of Thrones - are not included. All three SVOD (subscription video on demand) services are offering a free month trial. Netflix will stream a range of titles from companies including Warner Bros., BBC, FOX, NBC Universal, Village Roadshow Entertainment, Beyond Distribution, Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and The Walt Disney Company.

A former Special Forces soldier is rounding up supporters for a leadership bid against Ed Miliband if he does not win the General Election, The Mail on Sunday has learned. Dan Jarvis, who entered the Commons only four years ago, has told potential supporters he is prepared to run if Mr Miliband fails to dislodge David Cameron from No 10. One senior Labour MP, who met privately with Mr Jarvis in the Commons a month ago, said: ‘Dan wants to go for it if the result is disappointing.' Ex-Special Forces: Dan Jarvis has told potential supporters he is prepared to run if Mr Miliband fails to dislodge David Cameron from No 10 . He added: 'I thought about it for a couple of weeks, then rang him to say he could count on my backing.’ The news has emerged as the Labour leader faces the embarrassment of two senior party figures openly debating his failings during a broadcast interview this week. With polling day barely six weeks away, Rochdale Labour MP Simon Danczuk will discuss Mr Miliband’s lack of voter appeal with party peer Lord Glasman in an interview broadcast on LBC on Monday evening. During the debate, Mr Danczuk asks: ‘What has Nigel Farage got that Ed Miliband doesn’t?’ The peer – a former adviser to Mr Miliband – responds: ‘He has got the ability to sit in the pub and be at his complete ease, which is a very magical gift. Ed is… from the seminar room.’ Mr Jarvis, the Shadow Justice Minister, is rapidly gaining support on the party back benches as a ‘clean skin’ candidate who, unlike many rivals, was not an adviser or Minister during the Blair or Brown governments and is ‘untainted’ by association with Mr Miliband’s inner circle. Some MPs also argue that the 42-year-old ex-Para’s military career – a rarity in Labour ranks – would be more appealing to voters than Mr Miliband’s background as a policy adviser. In any leadership contest, Mr Jarvis is likely to face the more experienced figures of health spokesman Andy Burnham, Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Umunna, education spokesman Tristram Hunt and ambitious frontbencher Liz Kendall. Ed Miliband faces the embarrassment of two senior party figures openly debating his failings during a broadcast interview this week . The backer added: ‘Dan has a clear view of his own strengths, and an even clearer view of his rivals’ weaknesses.’ Mr Jarvis became the first person since the Second World War to resign a military commission to contest a by-election. He successfully stood in Barnsley Central in 2011, shortly after his wife Caroline died of cancer, aged 43, leaving him to care for their two children. Mr Jarvis has since remarried and now has a third child. The former major spent 15 years in the Paras, and was awarded an MBE after serving in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo and Sierra Leone. In keeping with his action-man image, it was reported last week he had pacified a drunken thug wielding a bottle who demanded his wallet. Under party

Summary: Dan Jarvis is gathering supporters for a leadership bid against Ed Miliband . He is prepared to run if Mr Miliband fails to dislodge PM David Cameron . Two senior party figures will debate the Labour leader's failings this week . Some argue that the ex-Para’s military career would be more appealing .


Andre Schurrle has blamed his unimpressive return to the Bundesliga on the lack of training he received during his time at Chelsea. The World Cup winner left Stamford Bridge for Wolfsburg in a £22million deal in January, having previously starred for Mainz and Bayer Leverkusen in the German league. After a bright start, setting up two goals against Hoffenheim on his debut, the 24-year-old admits he is 'stuck in a hole' after failing to make any impact in his last nine games. Andre Schurrle is introduced to ice hockey by girlfriend Montana York at a Grizzly Adams match . Speaking to Bild, Schurrle suggested his poor form was a repercussion of his time spent at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho. 'I'm still missing the last per cent,' he said. 'At top English clubs during the season the players are hardly loaded with any training, since it's almost all about regeneration and tactics. 'In England you can get your fitness through the season with the games. At Chelsea because we had the championship, Champions League and the different club competitions, we played every three days.' The German forward has made an unimpressive return to the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg . Schurrle has suggested that a lack of training under Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge is to blame . The 24-year-old left the Blues for rising Bundesliga team Wolfsburg for £22million in January . 'In England there is no winter break. In the summer I had after the World Cup just two weeks of preparation. In January I had in the two weeks of the change almost no training because of back problems.' Former Chelsea midfielder and Wolfsburg team-mate Kevin de Bruyne empathises with the German forward after suffering his own struggling start before impressing with 14 goals this term. 'I know it is hard for him, it was no different for me so I am not worried,' De Bruyne told Wolfsburger Nachrichten. However, Mohamed Salah has taken no time to settle at Fiorentina after joining the Italians on loan from Chelsea in February, scoring six goals in eight games for his new club. Meanwhile, Schurrle's girlfriend Montana York appears to be taking her beau's mind off things by introducing him to ice hockey at a recent Wolfsburg Grizzly Adams game. The pair shared pictures wearing the team's colours on their Instagram accounts, with York commenting: 'finally a sport where I can teach him all the rules and terms'. York congratulates her boyfriend after he provided the assist for the winner in the 2014 World Cup final .

Possible Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham, the senior senator from South Carolina, is apologizing for a jab he made about House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress on Tuesday. At a private meeting with donors Graham alleged that plastic surgery was masking the House Minority leader's 'disgust' at the Israel leader's words. Rep. Xavier Becerra, left, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, center, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, right, listen to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu address to a joint meeting of Congress in the House chamber at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. They appeared less than enthused as Netanyahu asked them not to approve the nuclear deal the Obama administration and its allies are negotiating with Iran . Later that afternoon Graham, pictured here on the floor of the House before Netanyahu's speech, made fun of Pelosi during a conversation with a donor, saying, 'Did you see Nancy Pelosi on the floor. Complete disgust. If you can get through all the surgeries, there’s disgust' During the joint address Pelosi and other members of Democratic leadership appeared less than enthused as Netanyahu asked them not to approve the nuclear deal the Obama administration and its allies are negotiating with Iran and to put crippling sanctions on the country. Afterward, Pelosi said in a statement she 'was near tears throughout' Netanyahu's speech because she was 'saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States' and 'by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation.' Later that afternoon Graham made fun of the California Democrat during a conversation with a donor, according to Bloomberg, saying, 'Did you see Nancy Pelosi on the floor. Complete disgust.' 'If you can get through all the surgeries, there’s disgust,' he remarked. Upon learning of Graham's comment, several of his Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate demanded that he retract the statement. If reports are 'accurate,' fellow South Carolinian James Clyburn said on Twitter, 'he owes her an apology.' 'What's disgusting are the horrific comments you made about the first woman Speaker of the House,' Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a close friend of Pelosi's, tweeted at Graham. Graham told NBC on Tuesday evening that while he found Pelosi's claim that she was near tears 'a bit disturbing' he shouldn't have insulted her appearance. 'I made a poor attempt at humor to talk about her reaction and for that I apologize,' he said. '[Netanyahu] is not the problem in the mid-east, it's the Iranians, and anyone who wants to focus on the Prime Minister of Israel I think has got their priorities wrong,' he added. Graham is a fierce opponent of the Obama administration's approach to foreign relations in the Middle East. He has said that he is 'testing the waters' for a presidential run, though he's not formally launched a campaign for the highest elected office in the nation.

A pet pig who lives in a pub with her owners has been banned from the bar after she started stealing pints and headbutting customers. The micro-pig, who goes by the name of Frances Bacon, eats, sleeps and drinks at the Conquering Hero in south London. But the four-year-old soon started polishing off the dregs from customers' discarded beer glasses and breaking into the bar's snack supply. Frances Bacon the pig, pictured with her owners Ian and Vicky Taylor-Ross, has been banned from her local pub after stealing pints and headbutting customers . The micro-pig eats, sleeps and drinks at her owner's inn, the Conquering Hero in West Norwood, London . But she soon started finishing off the dregs from discarded beer glasses and helping herself to the pork scratchings . The pig has a penchant for pork scratchings - but 'doesn't have a clue that between pork scratchings are her relatives', according to Mrs Taylor-Ross . Customers at the West Norwood establishment had also started letting the Vietnamese Pot-Belly take a sip from their beer or cider. The pig, who must be kept on a strictly vegetarian diet, even recently broke into the bar and ate a big bag of dry-roasted peanuts, making her thirsty for days. Landlords Ian and Vicky Taylor-Ross only realised what was going on when the animal - who has her own space in the beer garden - started headbutting customers in the legs. The couple has now warned customers not to serve the pig any alcohol in a bid to help clamp down on her drinking. They have also had to put their pork scratchings, crisps and peanuts on a higher shelf under lock and key in case Frances attempts to snuffle them. Mr Taylor-Ross, 43, said Frances has become a bit of a 'loveable menace.'

Mr Taylor-Ross, pictured with the pig, said he and his wife were 'keeping a closer eye on her now' The six-stone pig eats a special dry feed for micro-pigs and eats all the family's vegetable peelings . 'She's lovely - definitely our favourite regular. We've had to bar her from having any beer though,' he said. 'She managed to nick a pint or two and then started butting into people. But we're keeping a closer eye on her now and that won't happen again.' Mrs Taylor-Ross added: 'We have had to put locks on the bar to stop her coming in and stealing crisps and scratchings. She has got an incredible sense of smell. 'She eats a special dry feed for micro-pigs and eats all our vegetable peelings - as long as she's not eating her relatives it's OK. The couple said the pig is a fantastic pet for children Tavis, nine, Ruby, six, and three-year-old Mary

Kevin Pietersen is eyeing a return to the England international fold ahead of the Ashes in the summer but he took time to enjoy himself behind enemy lines after the World Cup final on Sunday. Australia recorded a seven wicket victory over New Zealand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to win the World Cup for the fifth time and despite his allegiances to England, Pietersen joined in with the Australia celebrations.

The White House said on Wednesday that it doesn't care that Hillary Clinton deleted emails she says were personal and not in any way related to her work at the State Department. Nor did federal officials review them before Clinton's team trashed them, it said, because they were part of her private communications. 'Frankly the secretary's handling of her own personal email and the maintenance of her personal email inbox is something that I'm not gonna comment on, and I'm not particularly interested in,' the chief spokesman for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Josh Earnest, told reporters on Wednesday. He also revealed that President Barack Obama hasn't spoken to Hillary Clinton since it became public that she solely used a private email address while serving as secretary of state, saying it's been at least a 'couple weeks' since they last talked, as far as he's aware.

In an endeavor to put an end to the uproar, now in its second week, Clinton held a press conference on Wednesday at the United Nations' headquarters following her remarks to the body about women's rights . That, of course, does not mean that other senior administration officials haven't talked to Clinton or her aides since the controversy began over Clinton's personal email system, which she maintained on a private server located at her home in New York. In an endeavor to put an end to the uproar, now in its second week, Clinton held a press conference on Wednesday at the United Nations' headquarters following her remarks to the body about women's rights. Rather than quench the public's thirst for information, Clinton ginned up questions anew by admitting that she eliminated half of online correspondence from her tenure in the Obama administration - more than 30,000 emails - that she deemed private. Asked about the matter on Wednesday, the president's top spokesman revealed that the executive branch did not sort through Clinton's emails before she tossed them out, so it has no idea if she obeyed federal regulations. 'The federal government did not review Secretary Clinton's personal email. Secretary Clinton's team did that,' Earnest said at his regular meeting with the White House press corps. 'It is not the practice of this administration to review the personal email of federal government employees,' he added. 'I don't know of any previous administration that's done that either.' It was 'the responsibility of her team,' he said, to determine which emails were government property. 'Nobody has marshaled any evidence that I've seen, at least, to indicate that they've fallen short of what they said they did,' he said. And now no one can, another reporter pointed out to the Obama administration official later, because the evidence appears to have been destroyed - a remark that

Summary: White House said on Wednesday that it's 'not particularly' concerned that Hillary Clinton deleted emails she says were personal . President's top spokesman revealed that the executive branch did not sort through Clinton's emails before she tossed them out . 'It is not the practice of this administration to review the personal email of federal government employees,' he said . He also suggested the White House was not aware of Clinton's plans to destroy her private communications . Obama's spokesman made it clear that the president has followed the laws that apply to his emails, however .


Interest rates are unlikely to rise until the middle of next year as the Bank of England tries to stave off a deflationary spiral, economists said last night. Official figures revealed the inflation rate fell to 0 per cent last month – the lowest level since 1960. Experts warned Britain is now just one month away from deflation as food and petrol prices continue to tumble. The dramatic fall in the cost of goods is likely to push back the timing of an interest rates hike by the Bank of England. Delaying a rates rise would mean continued rock-bottom interest rates for mortgage borrowers, but more misery for savers. The base rate has been held at a historic low 0.5 per cent for six years but the Bank of England has admitted that, far from raising rates, it could even cut them further to avoid prolonged deflation. Lower rates would encourage people to spend, rather than save, stimulating demand and pushing up prices. Ben Brettell, senior economist at stockbrokers Hargreaves Lansdown, said: ‘It appears interest rates will be stuck at 0.5 per cent for some time yet – I don’t see them rising until mid-2016 at the very earliest. The Office for National Statistics found the Consumer Prices Index between February 2014 and February 2015 stood at 0 per cent . With wages rising by 1.6 per cent while prices are flat, it means families should see their money going further each month . ‘The Bank raises rates to curb inflation, but that is obviously not a problem at the moment, so they will keep them on hold.’ John Hawksworth, of PricewaterhouseCoopers, said the Bank was now ‘under no immediate pressure to raise interest rates’. Andrew Haldane, the Bank’s chief economist, suggested earlier this month that rates could be cut to zero because inflation had ‘dropped like a stone’. Low inflation, and even deflation, over a short period can be good for the economy and boost family finances, but a continuous fall in prices is harmful. By ALEX BRUMMER . THE GOOD NEWS . ... AND THE BAD NEWS . Bargain prices in shops could be used by employers as an excuse to keep wages low, while workers could delay big purchases in anticipation that costs will fall further – triggering a downward spiral. Yesterday, Prime Minister David Cameron seemed unconcerned by predictions that prices would fall further, saying Britain did not ‘face the dangerous deflation that some other parts of Europe may potentially have a problem with’. He welcomed the lowest inflation rate in 55 years, saying it was ‘good news for family budgets’, while Chancellor George Osborne declared that ‘prices are frozen’. Estimates released by the Office for National Statistics show the last time inflation was below 0 per cent was March 1960 – when Harold Macmillan was Prime Minister and The Beatles had just formed in Liverpool. The last major bout of deflation came during the Great Depression from 1929 to 1932. It did not end until Britain abandoned the gold standard which the then Chancellor Winston Churchill embraced

Summary: Consumer Prices Index falls to 0%, meaning prices did not rise in a year . Sharp falls in food and petrol costs helped to ease the pressure on families . David Cameron tells MailOnline it is 'more good news for family budgets' Wages rising by 1.6% means workers should see their money go further .


As a child, she grew up feeling she was nobody's child. At just four years old, Jessica Stoate lost her father. Then, ten years later, her mother died of cancer. It was at that moment, devastated at the loss of both parents when she was just 14 years old, that Jessica vowed to help others. 'I made a promise that no other little girl will ever have to lose what I lost, or live how I have lived,' she told MailOnline. And today, on Mother's Day, the 23-year-old from Walton-on-Thames, Surrey is fulfilling her promise. Scroll down for video .

Explaining why she kept her secret for years, Jessica added: 'I never wanted to be defined by what I'd lost. ‘Mothers’ Day was coming up and I was really miserable, I was missing my mum and struggling with my degree. I began to wonder what a difference I could make if I finally told my story.’ It was at that moment, devastated at the loss of both parents when she was just 14 years old, that Jessica vowed to help others.

It's not unusual for dog owners to treat their loyal companions like children, but this man appears to have taken it to the extreme. Zhu Tai, 43, has taught his poodle how to walk on its hind legs and even dresses it like a small girl. Now the dog has taken the internet by storm after a video was posted online of the pair taking their daily walk in Chengdu southwest China's Sichuan Province. Creepy or cute? This poodle is the poodle that has been taught by its owner to walk on its hind legs and wear girls clothes . The dog's owner Zhu Tai, 43, said the poodle is male but he dresses him in skirts because they are more comfortable . A video of the dog has gone viral after it was uploaded onto the internet by fans in its home country of China . Mr Tai, 43 said: 'I know that he is wearing a hat and a skirt but actually he is a male poodle, one-year-old, but we opted for the girls clothing because a skirt is more comfortable for the dog. And I just think it looks funnier. 'It only took me two months to train him, and despite the occasional critic he really enjoys himself, he can go about two kilometres on his back legs without needing to come down on all fours.' Mr Tai, who owns several dogs, trains then for a hobby. He admits that the poodle is the most talented of all his pets. 'He really likes doing tricks and dressing up, so he learns quickly,' he said. Mr Tai, who enjoys training dogs, said that it took two months to teach the dog to walk on its hindlegs . Mr Tai said the poodle was his best trained animal and can walk for about two kilometres .

User Lu said: 'The dog is so cute and lovely. And it's so hard to believe that she (sic) can walk so well.' The images of the poodle emerged as it has been revealed that 90 per cent of pet-owners in the US regard their animals as part of the family. And $60 billion (£35 billion) was spent on companion animals in the US alone in 2013.

Packaged vegetable juice, yogurt and and ketchup are some of the foods which contain high levels of stealth sugars. And if you're feeling virtuous about your healthy breakfast of wholegrain cereal washed down with a glass of orange juice, you might want to stop being so smug. Health conscious consumers are likely to shun sweet treats but some seemingly healthier options are actually more sugar-laden than we realise. Stealth sugars are sneaking their way into our diets, sending our intake soaring above recommended limits (Picture posed by model) Choose water or unsweetened fruit juice instead of sugary fizzy drinks and juice drinks. Remember to dilute these for children . If you like fizzy drinks, try diluting fruit juice with sparking water . Swap cakes or biscuits for a currant bun, scone or some malt loaf with low-fat spread . If you take sugar in hot drinks or add sugar to breakfast cereal, gradually reduce the amount until you can cut it out altogether . Rather than spreading jam, marmalade, syrup, treacle or honey on your toast, try a low-fat spread, sliced banana or low-fat cream cheese . Check nutrition labels to help pick the foods with less added sugar, or opt for low-sugar versions . Try halving the sugar you use in recipes, it works for most things, except jam, meringues and ice cream . Choose tins of fruit in juice rather than syrup . Choose wholegrain breakfast cereals, but not those coated with sugar or honey . Source: NHS Choices . A bowl of Bran Flakes plus a glass of orange juice will account for half your recommended daily amount of sugar. Our everyday diets are packed with ‘stealth’ sugar, sending our intake far above the recommended limits, which according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), should be no more than 12 teaspoons a day. Raisins are very sugary, as are flavoured fat-free yoghurts. And one tablespoon of ketchup can contain as much as one teaspoon of sugar. Some bottled juices and smoothies have as much as 47g of sugar, a lot to consume in just one sitting. Like ketchup, tomato-based pasta sauces and soups also have sugar added to them to balance out the acidity of tomatoes. While cereal and granola bars may have a reputation for being healthy, they too are usually much sweeter than they need to be. Sugar is also found in surprisingly large amounts in many savoury foods such as sauces and ready meals. In fact, sugar highly likely to be a much bigger part of your diet than you realise. Surprisingly, ‘healthier’ reduced-fat foods can actually contain more sugar than their full fat counterparts, as stripping out fats from processed foods makes them less appealing to our tastebuds. To combat the lack of flavour, manufacturers increase the levels of sugar in the food. In an investigation for MailOnline, nutritionist Angela Dowden said:' UK guidelines recommend that ‘added’ sugars — those used to sweeten food, fizzy drinks, honeys, syrups and fruit juices — shouldn’t make up more than 10 per cent of the total energy we

Caroline Wozniacki won her first title of 2015 with victory at the BMW Malaysian Open in Kuala Lumpur. The Dane had won just four WTA events since losing her No 1 ranking in 2012 but took her career total to 23 with a 4-6 6-2 6-1 victory over Romania's Alexandra Dulgheru. The top seed could not find her rhythm in a rain-interrupted first set and an upset looked on the cards as Dulgheru moved ahead in her hunt for a first title since 2010.

The emotion of gaining a career breakthrough and striking a blow for the less gilded outfits at Cheltenham proved too much for Warren Greatrex. The unsung 40-year-old trainer was unable to blink back the tears behind his spectacles after Cole Harden had provided him with a first Festival winner, and in the biggest race of the day, the World Hurdle. It was a victory for an emerging trainer, ridden by his freshman jockey Gavin Sheehan on a 14-1 horse owned by former customs and excise investigator Robin Eynon and his wife Jill from Winchester. Cole Harden makes every yard of the running to win the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival . Gavin Sheehan celebrates winning the Ladbrokes World Hurdle, his first victory at the Cheltenham Festival . Sheehan gets to work on Cole Harden as he wins from the front on the third day of the famous Festival . 1 Cole Harden (G Sheehan) 14-1 . 2 Saphir Du Rheu (Sam Twiston-Davies) 5-1 Fav . 3 Zarkandar (N D Fehily) 6-1 . Suddenly the winners’ enclosure looked less the preserve of the fabulously wealthy and the heavyweights of the industry they employ. There was incredulity among the victorious names that they had elevated themselves to the kind of company more regularly associated with names like McManus, Mullins and McCoy. Cole Harden had struck out for the front from the off and stayed there for three miles, winning by three-and-a-quarter lengths. ‘If you’re going to break your duck you may as well make it a big one. Anyone that knows me will tell you I can talk all day long but I’m stuck for words,’ said Greatrex, who eventually managed to articulate his achievement. ‘I’m small, I’m a youngster at this. I’ve got nine runners here, we’re breaking through — we’re trying to compete with the big guys and hopefully this will help. We’ve beaten the best. You look at the next two horses behind and they’re trained by Paul Nicholls ... unbelievable.’ Sheehan celebrates as he crosses the line in front of the favourite Saphir Du Rheu at Cheltenham . Sheehan gives the horse a pat after a brilliant front-running performance on Cole Harden . Sheehan celebrates with Daryl Jacob after riding Cole Harden to victory in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle . After a modest career as a jockey in which he rode 13 winners, Greatrex served a long apprenticeship as a trainer, working under some of the finest in the business such as David Nicholson, Josh Gifford and Oliver Sherwood. He now works out of Uplands, the former premises of legendary jockey and trainer Fred Winter in Lambourn, where he has built up a mid-size yard of 75 horses. ‘I am sure the Duke (Nicholson) is looking down from somewhere with pride and I hope Fred would have been proud as well,’ said Greatrex. His faith in Cole Harden was tested when, after a win at Wetherby in November, he struggled in the January’s Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham and so, less than two months ago, was sent for an

There has long been tradition for mothers to pass on beauty lessons to their daughters. But now, mums are just as likely to ask their daughters for advice — particularly because the boom in online beauty bloggers means that young people have access to professional techniques at their fingertips. All you need to do is Google ‘smoky eye’ and you’ll find dozens of videos showing you how to do it. It’s no surprise that these online beauty gurus have legions of followers, and two of the biggest YouTube stars are Norwich-based sisters Sam and Nic Chapman, whose Pixiwoo site has millions of viewers worldwide. When I met the girls, they were quick to credit their mother Judy, 58, with giving them some of the best tips they still follow. Nic (left) and Sam Chapman (right) credit their mother Judy (centre) with giving them some of their best beauty tips which they still follow . Judy, too, loves having make-up artist daughters and readily admits that some of the best tricks she has learned have been from Sam and Nic. With Mother’s Day coming up, I met with Judy, Sam and Nic to learn their top tricks. SAM, 37, AND NIC, 34: MUM HAS TAUGHT US . . . Always remove your make-up. Dirt builds up on the skin throughout the day and it blocks your pores and leads to breakouts. Cleanse thoroughly before bed to remove both dirt and make-up — it will also keep your pillowcases clean! Moisturise twice a day and remember to apply the cream to your neck, too — our neck and hands are often the first places to show signs of ageing but they are nearly always forgotten. Dry skin is common in our family, so for us it’s extra important to moisturise properly. We also use a more intensive treatment in the evening. Mum taught us to stay out of the sun. Too much sunbathing leads to wrinkles and age spots in later life. As a family, we have porcelain-pale skin so have always been cautious about lying out in the midday sun. Have your eyebrows shaped professionally. Overplucking can give you a startled appearance and once you have made a brow mistake, it can take years for them to grow back. Finally, the best tip we’ve learned is to drink plenty of water. Alongside the obvious health benefits, staying hydrated shows in our skin, too. It helps to flush out toxins and improve moisture. JUDY CHAPMAN: MY DAUGHTERS TAUGHT ME . . . Choose the correct moisturiser for your skin type. It’s easy to just grab any one, but you need to make sure you are using something that is tailored to your skin. I am lucky because the girls help me shop for foundation. However, if you struggle to choose the correct shade you should try it along your jawbone and then go outside into the daylight to check how well it blends into your skin. Nic (left) and Sam (right) say their mum, Judy (centre), taught them to stay out of the sun

Summary: Passing on beauty advice to your daughters has been a long tradition . But the tables have turned and mums are looking to their girls for help . Now beauty blogging sisters Sam and Nic Chapman share their top tricks .


A member of the Penn State University fraternity has defended the disturbing Facebook posts of unconscious female students that led to the fraternity's suspension for a year. In an interview, the anonymous member of Kappa Delta Rho described the group as 'satirical' and accused the media of trying to ruin his fellow frat brothers' lives and reputations. This came the same day that screenshots emerged of some of the Facebook comments under posts made to a private group run by members of KDR, that included nude images of women, some of whom had passed out drunk. The screenshots show members of the group had commented referring to the women as 'sloots', saying 'I banged her lol', and then: 'Lol delete those or we will be on cnn in a week'. Scroll down for video . The photos of unconscious female students, described by police as 'disturbing', were accompanied by lewd comments in screenshots entered as evidence by police . Another screenshot of comments on one of the pictures shows a member said: '373,217 views. All from us.' 'Make that 373,218,' came the response. There were 144 members of the invite-only Facebook page. The anonymous group member provided a statement to Philadelphia magazine and gave an extensive interview. He attempted to justify the existence of the group as 'satire', that 'everyone' does it, and laid a lot of blame on the media, while calling for a return to 'higher standards of morality' and referring to the incident as 'minor'. In his statement he accused the media of attempting to 'ruin people's lives and unjustly ruin reputations' and was challenged in the interview that posting pictures of nude, unconscious women or intimate messages could ruin their lives or their reputations. At no point was the KDR brother apologetic. Nor did he seem to understand why police and the university administration were investigating the matter. 'How would it do so when it's kept within the entirely, well, it's supposed to be an entirely private group of 144 people?' he responded. Asked if that puts a lot of trust in 144 people when any one of them could repost a picture publicly, he said: 'But nobody except the one kid who snitched out this group did that … It just doesn't work that way.' He added: 'It wasn’t a legitimate concern. ... It is a brotherhood and nobody expects anyone to go and post stuff publicly or so forth and so on. It's a real disappointment that this kid went and did this.' Asked if the fraternity should accept some of the blame he responded: 'I think people should be responsible for themselves, and, I mean, I obviously had nothing to do with any of these postings, but … just think, is it smart to post this on social media? Is this ethical in regards to the people who it involves?' 'But this is not a criminal thing. It's not anyone else's business, pretty much. It's an inter-fraternity thing and that's that,' he added. He made clear that he had not posted any of the offensive

City breaks have overtaken beach holidays as the most popular getaway choice for British tourists, according to a new study. With the pound strengthening against the euro and other currencies, prices have dropped by as much as 22 per cent over last year in three quarters of the cities included in Post Office Travel Money's annual report on city costs. Eastern European cities offer bargain hunters the best value with Vilnius, Lithuania, topping the list. Lithuania's capital, Vilnius, offers bargain hunters the best value as a city break destination, says a study . Budapest, Hungary, also offers British travellers a great deal, with a weekend getaway tallying £119.77 . The newest eurozone member has seen a fall of over 15 per cent year-on-year with a three-course evening meal for two including drinks and two nights' accommodation coming in at just £100.04. The cost of a weekend break in Vilnius is half of what visitors would pay in perennial favourites Paris, Rome and Amsterdam. Budapest is another great money-saving destination, where a two night getaway comes in at just £119.77. And in Riga, travellers will not only benefit from cheap transport options, but also the cheapest rate (£36) for a two-night stay in a three-star city centre hotel during the month of April. In Riga, Latvia, not only is transport extremely affordable, but three-star city centre hotels are cheapest . And when it comes to Western Europe, Post Office Travel Money recommends heading to Athens for a deal . 1. Vilnius, Lithuania - £100.04 . 2. Budapest, Hungary - £119.77 . 3. Riga, Latvia - £120.39 . 4. Tallinn, Estonia - £131.28 . 5. Athens, Greece - £131.35 . 6. Dubrovnik, Croatia - £139.83 . 7. Prague, Czech Republic - £141.24 . 8. Lisbon, Portugal - £141.37 . 9. Krakow, Poland - £144.96 . 10. Strasbourg, France - £169.60 . *Cost of two nights' accommodation and a three-course meal for two with drinks . But it's not only Eastern Europe that offers UK tourists some serious value. Athens, which is a new entry in the report, comes in fifth with a weekend city break coming in at just £131.35, which puts it as the cheapest in Western Europe. Last year's cheapest Western break, Lisbon, dropped to eighth place this year. The Czech city of Prague also offers great bang for a British traveller's buck, boasting cheap meals and drinks. Dining out costs as little as £23.94 for two people, while a bottle of beer is just £1.13. Krakow, Poland, and Strasbourg, France, are two additional new entries to the list this year. Proving that not all French cities must be needlessly expensive, Strasbourg is noteworthy for being 35 per cent cheaper than Paris. For the third consecutive year, Stockholm is Europe's most expensive city with holidaymakers spending an average of £311.01 for a two-night getaway. London is the seventh most expensive city break, with costs averaging £266.65, according to the study. While perennial favourite, Paris, is a very expensive French destination, Strasbourg offers good value . If money is not a concern, Stockholm

It is an English landscape of quintessential beauty, whose many shades of green contrast sharply with the red, loamy soil: a place of steep, broad hills and ancient stone churches, where magnificent open vistas stretch from the crags of Dartmoor to the sea at Dawlish. South East Devon has inspired many writers, such as Thomas Hardy, Michael Morpurgo and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. But today, one of its jewels, Haldon Ridge, in the heart of an officially designated Area of Great Landscape Value close to the Dartmoor National Park, is being desecrated. Thanks to a company controlled by Harry Lopes, the former underwear model who is the son-in-law of the Duchess of Cornwall, running along the road at the top of the Ridge for close to a mile is the edge of a giant 50-acre solar panel energy farm. Scroll down for video . Eyesore: The 50-acre solar farm on Haldon Ridge lies on an official Area of Great Landscape Value . Thanks to a company controlled by Harry Lopes, the former underwear model who is the son-in-law of the Duchess of Cornwall, the solar farm sits at the top of the ridge . Mr Lopes and his colleagues – who include spokeswoman Sophy Fearnley-Whittingstall, sister of the TV chef and River Cottage author Hugh – developed the farm and got it through the planning process. They have now sold their interest to sister company Belltown Power. Belltown and Solstice share the same investor, Berti Investments, while ‘green’ financier Seth Tabatznik is a director of all three firms. Without the huge subsidies added to consumers’ bills, the solar panel business would not be profitable. Ms Fearnley-Whittingstall refuses to divulge how much Solstice – in which Mr Lopes owns 115,000 shares - has been paid, saying this information is ‘commercially sensitive’. An internal report by the local Teignbridge Council’s heritage and landscape officer, Olwen Maidment, described the solar panel development as ‘not sympathetic to the character of the locality’, warning that it would ‘detract from its scenic quality’. However, it was awarded planning permission late last year without ever being discussed by the council’s planning committee. On its website, Lopes’s firm, Solstice Renewables, claims the farm ‘sits within its own bowl, largely hidden from the surrounding landscape’. In fact, seen from the air, it dominates it: a Y-shaped hilltop sprawl with line after line of black, reflective panels on metal frames. As Maidment’s report makes clear, the farm is visible from Hay Tor, a popular hiking and picnic spot ten miles away on Dartmoor. The ranks of panels loom over Ashcombe, a gorgeous village with water meadows and a Grade I listed 13th Century church.

A Watford football fan is fighting for his life after suffering serious injuries in an attack in the street as he made his way home from yesterday's match against Wolves. The supporter, named locally as 44-year-old Nick Cruwys, was on his way to Wolverhampton train station from the Molineux stadium when he was assaulted by a gang. The man was walking to the station with a group of friends when they were 'completely outnumbered', police said. A Watford football fan is fighting for his life after suffering serious injuries in an attack in the street as he made his way home from yesterday's match against Wolves (stadium pictured) Both Watford and Wolves football clubs, who drew yesterday afternoon's Championship clash 2-2, expressed their shock at the attack. A statement on Watford's website said: 'The thoughts of everyone associated with Watford FC are with a Hornets' supporter - at yesterday's game - who is now critically ill after an unprovoked post-match attack.' Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey said: 'We are deeply saddened to hear of this incident and our thoughts go out to the supporter concerned and his family. 'As a club we deplore any violence in or around football matches and we will work closely with the relevant authorities to help bring the perpetrator, or perpetrators, to justice. 'All right-minded football supporters will share in our disgust at this violent incident and I would implore anyone with any information to contact the police.' The 'unprovoked attack' came after Wolves (in orange) and Watford (in black) drew 2-2 at the Molineux .

Malky Mackay signed Troy Deeney for Watford so he knows exactly what the powerhouse striker can do. On Tuesday night, he scored twice against Mackay’s Wigan for the second time this season to send Watford top of the Championship and a step nearer the Premier League. It was the sixth game in a row that Deeney has been on the scoresheet, muscling in to beat Ali Al-Habsi with a header nine minutes into the second half and then converting a penalty in stoppage time. For Wigan and his old manager, however, the threat of relegation to League One looms large two years after the club dropped out of the top-flight. Watford striker Troy Deeney celebrates scoring against Wigan at the DW Stadium on Tuesday night . Watford forward Matej Vydra (left) tussles for the ball with Wigan Athletic's Emmerson Boyce (right) Watford's Marco Motta (top) jumps up to avoid the sliding challenge from Wigan's Kim Bo-Kyung (bottom) Wigan (4-4-2): Al Habsi 6; Boyce 5, Maguire 6.5, Pearce 5, Bong 5.5; Pennant 5.5 (Murphy 52, 6), Perch 6, Bo-kyung 6.5, Ojo 6 (Kvist 62, 6); Fortune 6 (Sinclair 82), Clarke 5.5. Booked: Perch . Watford (3-1-4-2): Gomes 6; Cathcart 6 (Paredes 71, 6), Ekstrand 6.5, Angella 6; Watson 6.5; Motta 5.5 (Forestieri 46, 7), Munari 6, Hoban 6.5, Guedioura 8; Deeney 7, Vydra 7 (Tozser 73, 6) Subs not used: Layun, Anya, Ighalo, Bond . Booked: Guedioura, Forestieri . Scorers: Deeney 54, 90 . Referee: David Coote . Attendance: 10,684 . They remain six points adrift of safety and fourth-from-bottom Rotherham, who now have a game in hand, after failing to win for the 16th successive home game – a miserable run stretching back seven months. ‘We’ve got eight games to go and we’ve got to win more than a couple of teams us, simple as that,’ said Mackay. ‘We knew that Deeney would pose a real threat. That’s why I bought him (for Watford) in the first place. He’s blossomed and he’s by far and away the best centre-forward in the division in my opinion.’ Despite the poor home form, Wigan had won their last four away games to give themselves a chance of survival and they had several chances to take the lead. Tommy Hoban had to throw his body in the way of Leon Clarke’s goalbound effort, Sheyi Ojo blasted over when unmarked in a good position and Marc-Antoine Fortune had two opportunities. Deeney beats the challenge of Wigan's Gaetan Bong to score his side's opening goal at the DW Stadium . Boyce fells Watford's Fernando Forestieri in the box to give away a penalty on a bad night for the hosts . But the promotion chasers went ahead in the 54th minute with a goal that was the product of classy build-up play and a brutal finish. Substitute Fernando Forestieri’s clever pass gave Adlene Guedioura the opportunity to swing a cross to the far post where Deeney was charging in like an express train. The Watford skipper powered through Jason Pearce to meet the ball and head the ball

Summary: Watford's win at Wigan sends them top of the Championship . Troy Deeney opened the scoring with a header on 54 minutes . He sealed the three points with a late penalty at the DW Stadium .


Neymar insists his head was never turned by Manchester City's interest in him before signing for Barcelona from Santos in June 2013. Neymar's signature had been coveted from teams across Europe and City led the way from England but ahead of the Champions League second leg clash at the Nou Camp between the two teams, the Brazil striker is adamant only one side interested him. ‘Barcelona was the only club I ever wanted to join,' Neymar said. 'I knew that Manchester City had interest in me, but I never had any intention to join them. Neymar (centre) insists he has never held any desire to play for Manchester City over Barcelona . Neymar (left) is preparing to play City with Barca in the second leg last 16 Champions League clash . Neymar (left) joined Barcelona in June 2013 from Brazilian club Santos but City were also interested in him . 'I am sure that I could have got a bigger contract and more money there - but we never even got that far - when a club with the history and tradition of Barcelona want you then you don't listen to anybody else.' Barcelona hold a 2-1 advantage from the first leg of their Champions League tie against City, with both goals coming from Luis Suarez at the Etihad. Luis Enrique's side could have had an even greater lead had Lionel Messi not missed a penalty in the latter stages of the game and Neymar warned City his team know their advantage is far from secure. He also rejected claims that it is a good time to take on City after their 1-0 defeat in the Premier League to Burnley on Saturday. Joe Hart saved a penalty from Messi in the final moments of the game to give City hope in the second leg . Luis Suarez scored both goals for Barcelona in their 2-1 first leg win over City at the Etihad stadium . Neymar rejected talk that it could be a good time to play City due to their recent patchy form in England . ‘We got a good result in Manchester, but the job is not done,' Neymar said. 'Yes we have put ourselves in a strong position, but we know Manchester City can score goals. 'They might not be on their best form in England, but teams raise their game for Barcelona and we must be careful of that.'

The United States held on for 1-1 draw with Switzerland in an international friendly on Tuesday after veteran forward Jozy Altidore was sent off. Brek Shea's curling free-kick gave the Americans a deserved goal on the stroke of halftime, and yet another lead to take into a second period. But the trend of coach Jurgen Klinsmann's team to concede late goals continued after Altidore was shown two yellow cards in the 68th minute, for a foul and then verbal abuse at Italian referee Luca Banti.

Swiss pressure paid off in the 80th when substitute Valentin Stocker scored from just two yards past debutant goalkeeper William Yarbrough. The U.S. has now been outscored 12-1 in the second half of matches since the World Cup. A leveler had seemed increasingly inevitable, and five minutes earlier another Swiss substitute, Pajtim Kasami, header over an open goal from close range. The U.S. also escaped in the 79th when an attempted clearance by defender John Brooks rolled just wide of his own goal. Stocker struck when the ball dropped to his feet after two U.S. defenders challenged for a left-wing cross, leaving him unmarked in front of goal.

Bosses at the Harry Potter studio tour have been accused of mistreating owls. Animal rights campaigners said camera flashes were extremely distressing for the birds, which have highly sensitive eyes. They are also kept in small cages for long periods and forced to perform ‘demeaning’ tricks, a report added. Undercover footage shows birds chewing at their tethers and shaking their heads, apparently in alarm. A Harry Potter tour that keeps owls in cages and allows fans to touch them is 'cruel' and 'demeaning', animal rights campaigners have claimed . Secret footage obtained by the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) at the end of February shows how the owls are treated at The Making of Harry Potter tour . The owls are part of Warner Brothers’ Making of Harry Potter tour in Leavesden, Hertfordshire. In the books and films, Harry Potter has a pet snowy owl called Hedwig that was given to him as a birthday gift by gamekeeper Hagrid. Among its tasks was to fly into Hogwarts School to deliver Harry’s letters. At the studio tour, which costs £33 for an adult ticket, fans can meet ‘Hedwig’ as well as other animals from the franchise. The owls are a hit with visitors, many of whom take pictures with the birds to post on social media. But People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) said flashes from cameras terrified the owls, while trainers encouraging people to stroke the birds left them agitated. The owls also perform tricks - like picking up a 'passport' with their beak - in front of crowds . The charity launched an undercover investigation after receiving complaints from concerned visitors to the attraction. It has called for the tour to stop using live animals. In a letter to Warner Brothers, Peta’s Yvonne Taylor said: ‘The “trainers” supervising the tour showed gross negligence both in handling the birds and in ensuring public safety. As well as the tricks, they actively encouraged flash photography. ‘Owls have especially acute vision and find blinding camera flashes extremely distressing – this can be seen in Peta’s footage as they respond by desperately chewing at their tethers and shaking their heads. ‘A trainer cajoled people to touch the frightened birds, ignoring signs telling people not to ... as well as being stressful for the owls this also interferes with the natural oils in their feathers that keep them warm.’ A lot of the owls at the tour are tethered to posts. The findings have prompted PETA to send a letter to Warner Brothers, which runs the tour, calling on the company to commit to a ban on using live animals . A tour spokesman said: 'The owls' welfare is of paramount importance to us and they are exclusively handled by the experts at Birds & Animals which owns and trains them' Harry Potter author JK Rowling has previously warned against keeping owls, saying: ‘If anybody has been influenced by my books to think an owl would be happiest shut in a small cage and kept in a house, I would like to

A new campaign on Twitter that rallies against the current foodie trend of serving up meals in novelty dishes is gathering momentum. Steaks laid out on slabs of slate, gooey puddings on planks of wood or even dinner on a gardening spade...the backlash against domestic items being used as tableware is being spearheaded by @wewantplates, a Twitter account that is the brainchild of journalist Ross McGinnes. In just a week, Mr McGinnes, from West Yorkshire, has already attracted some 5,000 followers with his series of witty ripostes to restaurants who have dared to inject a large portion of gimmick into their presentation of meals. Scroll down for video . Kitsch? Or just plain irritating? This photo of a mini garden bench was posted on the @wewantplates Twitter account, which is biting back at restaurants who use novelty ways to present food . Who pinched the plate? And the cutlery? A southern feast is served up on a solitary sheet of grease-proof paper with a little shopping trolley full of chips on the side . Fancy that, it's bread in a hat: One Twitter user was left aghast when they were served a selection of bread in a flat-cap, presumably one that hadn't been worn . He says: 'I set the account up a week ago after a friend posted a picture on Facebook of an average-sized steak, which had been served to him on a large chopping board. 'It was captioned, without irony, "That is a big meal!" 'It wasn't a big meal - he'd fallen for all this style-over-content nonsense. I searched Twitter for an account which would allow me to vent my spleen with like-minded people, but found nothing. 'We Want Plates was born, and has already topped 5,000 followers.' Diners rankled by the imagination of the restaurants they've eaten in have been quick to send in shots of their own experiences, with bread and butter served in a flat cap, afternoon tea perfectly placed on a mini garden bench and a communal portion of spaghetti served straight on to the table top. Started just a week ago, the Twitter account, run by Ross McGinnes from West Yorkshire, has already attracted plenty of attention from disgruntled diners calling for a return to simple plates . Mamma mia! This Italian restaurant takes the words communal and table to the limit, with diners invited to tuck into a sharing portion of spaghetti and sauce on the bare surface . A crate idea? Tartare sauce in a tiny watering can, peas in a plant pot and fish and chips in a wooden box and (right) a delicate starter is served atop a piece of stone . No it isn't bedtime, yes, this is part of your dining experience. A surprised diner tucks into 'a yoghurt ice cream "brush", mint-eucalyptus crème "paste" and a gin and tonic' at a restaurant in Germany . He adds: 'I’m certainly not looking to challenge any small businesses by ‘outing’ them for their chopping boards or mini shopping trolleys of chips. The only ones that I’ve named directly,

Summary: @wewantplates is a Twitter account which pokes fun at the weird and wonderful way in which restaurants present their food to diners . Account was set up by Ross McGinnes, 40, from West Yorkshire after a friend posted a photo of a steak on a slate online . Nearly 5,000 people from across the globe have followed the account . Chef defends the use of quirky presentation, saying 'we all like individuality and chefs are no different .


The twin of a British jihadi bride arrested last week as she arrived back in the UK has told of her fury after missing out on a girls' holiday because of her sister's links to Syria. Jamila Henry, 21, was arrested at Luton airport after landing on a flight from Istanbul. She is thought to have fled the region after the breakdown of her second marriage. Her identical twin Jalila, who lives in Balham, south London, is a self-proclaimed party girl who has admittedly followed a very different path from her Muslim convert sister. Self-proclaimed party girl Jalila Henry (left) has spoken of her shock at her twin sister Jamila's (right) connection to Syria. The 21-year-old was arrested Luton Airport after landing on a flight from Istanbul . Jalila said while she and her sister were close as children they began following different paths as teenagers. Jamila (right) devoted herself to Islam while her party-loving twin (left) began clubbing late into the night . Speaking for the first time since her sibling's arrest, Jalila has told of her shock at learning the mother of one may have been living alongside the murderous terror group. Jamila has since been charged with possession of an identity document with intent. At a hearing on Saturday morning at Westminster Magistrates Court she spoke only to confirm her name. The 21-year-old did not enter a plea. Her parents and sister were present for the brief hearing. In an interview published on the same day, Jamila's twin told The Sun's Rachel Dale how her plans for a girls' weekend to Amsterdam were scuppered by her sister's scheme. She added she was disappointed with her sister's decision to return to Syria, but that the pair had followed different paths since they were teenagers. 'She seemed completely normal. I don't know what to think, I can't believe she has treated me like this.' Despite growing up in a shared bedroom in their Jehova's Witness mother's home in Streatham, south London, the twins grew apart as teenagers, she added. While Jalila became involved in London's nightclub scene, often staying out until the early hours of the morning, her more reserved sister devoted herself to the Koran. She had converted to Islam while at secondary school where 'it was the "in" thing to do,' her sister said. Jalila, who lives in Balham, south London, said she was disappointed her sister had returned to Syria . Jalila (left) said her sister (right) described Syria as 'beautiful'. The young mother fled to the region after the breakdown of her first marriage to a Muslim Turkish Cypriot . At 18, Jamila married and had a child in the UK. She and her husband became estranged and the increasingly devout youngster fled to Syria with their son. There she is thought to have married an ISIS militant before returning to Britain in December. Upon her arrival she was questioned by police over alleged links to the terror group but was never charged. She returned to the war-torn region alone earlier this year and was picked up

Charged: Stacie Laughton, 31, allegedly called in a bomb threat to a New Hampshire hospital . A New Hampshire ex-official believed to be the first transgender person elected to a state legislature was charged on Thursday with calling in a bomb threat to a hospital, police said. Police arrested 31-year-old Stacie Laughton of Nashua on Thursday following the February 27 threat to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center. Police evacuated the building but found no suspicious device. An investigation led police to issue a warrant for Laughton's arrest; the Nashua resident complied. Calls weren't being accepted Thursday at a phone listed for Laughton. In 2012, Laughton was elected to the state House of Representatives but never took the seat, resigning after reports of a prior felony conviction raised questions about Laughton's legal ability to serve. The state's Ballot Law Commission denied Laughton's request to run again last year, saying Laughton's 2008 convictions for identity fraud and falsifying evidence disqualified the would-be candidate until 2018, when a suspended sentence ends. Laughton was charged on Thursday with making a false report regarding explosives, a felony that can bring up to 7 years in prison if convicted. Laughton was released on $50,000 bond and is due back in court in April. Laughton expressed remorse for alleged actions and blamed them on an untreated mental illness. 'I have had a mental illness my whole life, and I guess this was my worst break with it. I was untreated for a long time, and I didn't have medication,' Laughton told the New Hampshire Union Leader following her arrest. 'I wasn't trying to hurt anyone, and it was totally out of character for me. I have put a lot behind me, and I never thought I would do this in a million years,' she told the newspaper. Stacie Laughton was born Barry C. Laughton Jr. and was convicted twice in Nashua before she ever turned 20. Bomb threat: Police arrested 31-year-old Stacie Laughton of Nashua on Thursday following the February 27 threat to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center (pictured) Police told The Patch that in 2002 she was charged with domestic violence/criminal mischief after an argument with her father during which she smashed a plate. In 2003 she was charged with sexual assault involving a woman from whom she was renting a rorom. 'Those charges were eventually dropped,' Laughton told The Patch in 2012 following her resignation from her elected position. Convicted felon: In 2012, Laughton was elected to the state House of Representatives but never took the seat, resigning after reports of a prior felony conviction raised questions about Laughton's legal ability to serve . 'In fact, she still lives in the city, and we see each other from time to time, and we are pleasant. It's as if those years never happened,' she said. Laughton said three years ago that she hopes to run for office again someday despite her sordid past. Her criminal history will prevent her from doing so. 'After I got out of prison I felt like it was a new start for me.
