The producer of the new James Bond thriller Spectre denies that the script was changed to get incentives in Mexico. Earlier, it was reported that leaked emails indicated that Mexico made suggestions on the nationality of an actress and the villain, the villain's intended victim and some film shots. Implicitly, Mexico's incentives for the film were at stake, it said. Producer Michael G. Wilson said Wednesday: 'There is nothing in the script that we hadn't had before. The villain was always an Italian ... we already shot that in Rome.' Scroll down for video . Producer Michael G. Wilson and Bond girl Stephanie Sigman arrive for a photo call ahead of a press conference to discuss Sigman's role in the upcoming 007 film Spectre in Mexico City . Asked about Mexico's purported insistence on a Mexican actress in a role known as Estrella, Wilson said, 'We always had a Mexican actress playing this part.' The film has cast Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman in the role. Officials in Mexico City have declined to comment on possible incentives offered on the movie, which is scheduled to begin its Mexico filming Thursday. Relying on emails leaked as part of the recent hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment, website Tax Analysts said that the target of the villain Sciarra should be an international leader rather than Mexico City's mayor and that a 'special police force' should appear in the film instead of Mexican police. The film has cast Mexican actress Stephanie Sigman as a character called Estrella . Actor Daniel Craig as 007 filming an action scene in Solden, Austria, for new bond film Spectre . Wilson confirmed there are incentives. 'Everywhere we go we have incentives,' he said at a news conference. 'Sometimes they're taxes; sometimes they're other kind of incentives. You can get cooperation, you can get things you would usually pay for for free and all that.' But it wasn't just incentives. Wilson confirmed that Mexico's 'Day of the Dead' traditions will be seen in the film, or at least a Bond version - 'where everything is sort of magnified.' Mexicans remember departed relatives and friends on the Day of the Dead at the beginning of November with orange flowers, candy skulls and other death-related decorations. 'The writers thought the day of the death would be an excellent background in the opening sequence, very colorful, very mysterious,' Wilson said. 'You can only do that in Mexico. There is no other place that offers that but Mexico.' Spectre sees Daniel Craig as 007 going up against a sinister organisation. The film is due out in October this year.

Leanne Wood, the leader of Plaid Cymru, said she would refuse to be part of a formal coalition with a Labour Party committed to implementing austerity and replacing Trident . The leader of the Welsh nationalists has vowed never to help prop up the Conservatives in the event of a hung parliament - but could work with the SNP to drag a Labour government to the left. Leanne Wood, the leader of Plaid Cymru, said she would refuse to be part of a formal coalition with a Labour Party committed to implementing austerity and replacing Trident. But she said the election was 'an unprecedented opportunity' to force the next Government to give Wales as much public spending per head of population as Scotland. The intervention echoes demands made by Alex Salmond’s SNP that the Scottish nationalists will not support Ed Miliband as Prime Minister unless he agrees to ‘end austerity’. Although Miss Wood is largely unknown outside of Wales, this is set to change on Thursday night when she takes part in an unprecedented seven-way leaders debate. Launching her party’s manifesto in Bangor, she said the election offers voters in Wales an ‘unprecedented’ opportunity to influence the direction of government policy if Plaid Cymru holds the balance of power. Miss Wood said Plaid was aiming to use any influence it gains to rebalance power and wealth away from the City of London and towards Welsh communities. ‘This election provides Wales with an unprecedented opportunity,’ she told supporters. ‘There will in all likelihood be another hung parliament after May and the direction of the next government could come down to how strong a presence of Plaid Cymru MPs there are in parliament. ‘If Plaid Cymru holds the balance of power, we will use that to rebalance power and wealth throughout the UK, away from the financial sector in the City of London and to those communities in Wales that need the investment.’ Asked earlier about her party's positioning in the event of a hung parliament, Ms Wood told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme that it would work with the Greens and the Scottish National Party if it was ‘in our interests’. She said: ‘We've said we'll work and co-operate with the Greens in England and the SNP if the numbers – of course we've got to have an election and it's a matter for the people to decide - but depending on the numbers, if it's in our interests to work with those other parties to secure the very best deal for Wales, then we will. It may be that it's in our interests to work separately.’ She added: ‘There's no way that we could support the Tories in government, absolutely not. Wales has never given a mandate for the Tories to rule over us and it's highly unlikely that they will next time.’ Miss Wood (left), Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and the Green Party leader Natalie Bennett (right) could unite after the election to keep David Cameron out of Downing Street . Plaid Cymru, she said, had ‘no appetite’ to

Summary: Plaid leader Leanne Wood said she would refuse a formal coalition . But she said Plaid could join with SNP and Greens to pull Labour left . Miss Wood said the election was an 'unprecedented opportunity' for Plaid . She will use 'balance of power' to force through more spending for Wales .


The progress Liverpool have made since that defeat at Old Trafford in December has been nothing short of remarkable. They remain the only unbeaten team in the Barclays Premier League this year and it owes much to the solidity of a defence now boasting six straight away games without conceding a goal. Clearly, it amounts to a tactical triumph for manager Brendan Rodgers. Not least in the way he tore up his own blueprint for life without Luis Suarez and came up with an entirely new strategy that has worked for the players who remain at Anfield. That is no easy task, as Roberto Martinez and Louis van Gaal would probably testify. Simon Mignolet dives to spectacular deny Swansea's Gylfi Sigurdsson during Liverpool's 1-0 win on Monday . Emre Can has slotted in well in defence after Brendan Rodgers changed his system . Brendan Rodgers (left), Colin Pascoe (centre) and Mike Marsh talk tactics on the Liverpool bench . Liverpool have not lost in their last 13 games - a run that has seen them rise from 10th in the table to fifth. Should they beat Swansea on Monday then they will be just two points off fourth place. D - 2-2 Arsenal (H) W - 1-0 Burnley (A) W - 4-1 Swansea (H) D - 2-2 Leicester (H) W - 1-0 Sunderland (A) W - 2-0 Aston Villa (A) W - 2-0 West Ham (H) D - 0-0 Everton (A) W - 3-2 Tottenham (H) W - 2-0 Southampton (A) W - 2-1 Man City (H) W - 2-0 Burnley (H) W - 1-0 Swansea (A) But watching Liverpool at Swansea on Monday night, their success in stopping their hosts from scoring was down to more than the clever deployment of certain players. Yes, there is no doubt the decision to move Emre Can into a back three - when he was signed principally as a midfielder – was quite brilliant. Can has been superb in the role alongside Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho, who have also benefitted hugely from a tactical reshuffle that appears to provide them with more security and with it greater confidence. The decision to drop Simon Mignolet earlier this season has also proved an astute piece of leadership by Rodgers. How a player responds is of the utmost importance and Liverpool’s goalkeeper, much like we saw with Joe Hart at Manchester City, has returned with greater focus and determination. Against Swansea he made some marvellous saves, in particular to deny Bafetimbi Gomis and Gylfi Sigurdsson. That said, Liverpool’s defence also demonstrated against Swansea that they remain prone to the occasional mistake. There was a moment at The Liberty Stadium, which led to the Mignolet save to deny Gomis, when a neat exchange of passes between Swansea’s French striker and Wayne Routledge left a gaping hole in Liverpool’s back three. In the press box we do not have the benefit of Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville’s tactical analysis but I can imagine one of them might have highlighted that on their super-duper tactics board at half-time. This

Flip-flops? Check. Sunglasses? Check. Twenty-four degree heat? Check. Now all I need is a fruity cocktail and I could be in Mauritius. Except I’m not on holiday. I’m in a basement in central London, moments from the frenzy of Oxford Street. Outside, it’s a typical day — cold and damp, with a sky as grey and heavy as old army boots. It’s estimated that two million Britons suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which is caused by a lack of sunlight - and up to three times more women than men appear to be affected . Down here, amid the lemon trees and pink, plastic bougainvillea, it’s so tropical that I half expect Barry Manilow to cha-cha-cha past singing the Copacabana. Welcome to the cheapest winter sunspot in Britain. This is a ‘Real Sunlight’ clinic, where anyone can drop in for a burst of cheering warmth. But you don’t have to face the airport, and it won’t cost you thousands of pounds. At the flick of a switch, you can flit between Mauritius, Miami and Bali — or, at least, their sunshine equivalents. Dr Daya (pictured) originally bought the equipment for her own use, having grown sick of British winter . As holidays go, it’s pretty convenient: no passport, no packing and the weather is guaranteed. It’s estimated that 2 million Britons suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), caused by a lack of sunlight, with up to three times more women than men affected. Symptoms include low-level depression, lack of energy and a loss of enthusiasm for life. The syndrome is so widespread, the NHS has set up a web page giving advice on how to tackle it — which includes artificial sun. In the past, if you were down in the dumps during winter, the advice would be to buck up or buy a ticket somewhere hot. But what if you can’t afford to? What if you’re trapped on this cold, damp isle until the spring, whenever that may be? It was only when a colleague cheerfully announced that he was off to Goa, in India, for a fortnight that I thought, hang on, I need some sunshine, too! Which is how I found myself slipping on my flip-flops at Dr Daya’s Wholistic Medical Centre on that Monday afternoon. Dr Daya is the sort of GP you find a lot of around Harley Street. A private practitioner, she’s open to alternative medicine, ‘taking a holistic approach, looking at the whole body and lifestyle, not just one part of it’. Prince Charles would approve. Hers is the only clinic in Britain to offer a ‘real sunshine’ room to the public. It opened in 2009, though she has just moved premises and spruced it up. It’s a normal-sized sitting room, done up to feel like a tropical holiday. The walls are papered with verdant scenes and artificial grass, jaunty pot plants hang off wooden screens, soothing music plays in the background. In a corner, above your head, beams the ‘artificial sun’. It looks like a row of wall-mounted security lights — three square

Summary: An estimated 2 million Britons suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder . SAD is caused by a lack of sunlight and women are more affected than men . Real Sunlight Clinic replicates sunshine in Bali, Mauritius and Miami .


A dramatic high-speed chase in which police were forced to weave round bales of marijuana hurled out of a speeding SUV has been caught on camera. Officers in Mesa, Arizona, were drawn into the 100mph pursuit after a Chevrolet Trailblazer they were trying to stop took off down the I-8 freeway. Footage from the chase, which took place Wednesday, shows the Trailblazer hurtling along the road as large, green packages are dropped out of the window. Scroll down for video . Abandoned cargo: Sheriff's deputies chasing down suspected drug smugglers had to dodge bales of marijuana they dumped out of their SUV . Arrested: Mario Perez-Paz (left) , 43, and Juan Aguilar-Zavala (right), 21, were booked into jail on drugs offenses and unlawful flight . Deputies from the Pinal County sheriff's department and Gila River police officers chased the SUV, which had two men inside, through a university campus before deflating its tires with spikes in the road. The car then pulled over, and two men fled, but were caught and arrested. Mario Perez-Paz, 43, Juan Aguilar-Zavala, 21, were then booked into jail on drugs possession, smuggling and dealing charges, as well as unlawful flight. The sheriff's office said the men claimed they were offered $1,000 by a woman from Phoenix to make the drugs run. Follow the trail: Deputies say the arrested men then led them to a stash house full of marijuana and illegal immigrants . They also gave officers information that led them to a stash house, where they say they found a huge stash of drugs and 20 illegal immigrants. However, while officers were able to recover 374lbs of marijuana from the house, they admitted that they never got back the bales dumped on the road - which were instead grabbed by drivers passing by. Pinal County sheriff Paul Babeu said: 'These foreign drug smugglers try to outrun our deputies and even throw bales of marijuana from their vehicle. 'We caught these criminals who put our deputies and our local citizens in harm’s way and now they will go to prison for their crimes.'

Militants fighting for the Al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front in Syria have released images showing them posing with American anti-tank missiles captured from Western-backed rebels. The terrorists are seen wearing military fatigues as they pose with deadly American-made BGM-71 TOW missiles in a warehouse in Atarib, a town 15 miles west of the city of Aleppo. The showboating images show the masked militants pointing to America logos on cardboard boxes filled with food and weapons, which were seized when the Western-backed moderate rebel group Harakat Hazm recently disbanded and allowed their headquarters to be overrun with jihadis. The emergence of the photographs comes as Nusra Front militants announced they are considering splitting with Al Qaeda in order to create an antonymous terror organisation that can rival the Islamic State's reign of terror in Syria and Iraq. Showboating: The terrorists are seen wearing military fatigues as they pose with deadly American-made BGM-71 TOW missiles in a warehouse in Atarib, a town 15 miles west of the city of Aleppo . Taunting: The American food and weapon supplies are now in the hands of Al Qaeda-backed terrorists, who used social media to goad the U.S. military . The warehouse in Atarib had been held by members of Harakat Hazm since November but the fall of a nearby former government military base known as Base 46 led to the rebel militia declaring its disbandment last week. The United States military had provided Harakat Hazm with vast shipments of weapons and food supplies in recent months, according to the International Business Times. With the Nusra Front having now seized control of Harakat Hazm-held buildings and territory, these supplies are now in the hands of Al Qaeda-backed terrorists, who used social media to goad the U.S. military. 'Thanks be to God, Allah let the Mujaheddin take these weapons after we fought the traitors [Harakat Hazm],' a Nusra Front-linked Twitter account boasted. 'Tens of American TOW missiles became for the Mujaheddin,' the message added, alongside pictures of militants pointing at the stamped boxes that prove the products are U.S.-made. Vast: The supplies were seized when the Western-backed moderate rebel group Harakat Hazm recently disbanded and allowed their headquarters to be overrun with jihadis . The photographs emerged as Nusra Front leaders announced they are considering cutting their links with Al Qaeda in order to form a new entity backed by Gulf states. Sources within and close to Nusra said that Qatar, which enjoys good relations with the group, is encouraging the terrorists to go ahead with the move, which would boost the militants' funding. The exercise could transform Nusra from a weakened militia group into a force capable of taking on Islamic State at a time when it is under pressure from bombing raids and advances by Kurdish and Iraqi military forces. It could also boost the influence of Qatar and its allies in the campaign to oust Assad, in line with the Gulf state's growing diplomatic ambitions in the region. Qatari officials were not available for comment. Extremists: Nusra Front militants (pictured) announced they are considering splitting with

But the rebels disbanded last week and their warehouses were overrun . Images emerged as Nusra Front announced plans to leave Al Qaeda .

A tax inspector began illegally snooping on her neighbour's finances during a seven-year argument over the location of a drainpipe. Denise Freeman abused her position at HM Revenue and Customs to pry into the tax affairs of her neighbours Garrie Conway and Flo Couper, a court heard. The row began after Denise and her husband Alasdair built an extension on to their house in Invergowrie, Perth and Kinross, and a building inspector ruled that a drainpipe on the neighbouring property came too close to the glass. The row began after Denise Freeman and husband Alasdair (right) built an extension on their house in Invergowrie, Perth and Kinross, but an inspector ruled the neighbour's drainpipe passed too close to it . Freeman used her job at HMRC to conduct an illegal investigation into Garrie Conway (pictured) after hearing he had a second job as a taxi driver and convincing herself that he was not declaring the income . The Freemans asked Mr Conway and Ms Couper to remove the pipe, and eventually sent them a lawyer's letter falsely claiming they had permission to move it themselves. When Mr Conway and Ms Couper went away on holiday for a weekend they returned to find that the Freemans had paid a building firm to relocate the pipe. Soon afterwards Mr Conway said he became concerned that Freeman seemed to know a lot about his tax affairs, and informed the authorities. Perth Sheriff Court heard that she began looking into his finances after hearing that he drove a taxi in addition to claiming benefits, and was trying to prove he hadn't declared the extra income. She said she wanted to investigate personally because the arrival of the Coalition Government had changed the culture at the tax office and they were not handing out money as freely as before. She added: 'I accessed the computer files. I was looking to see whether Mr Conway had declared a second job. 'You would have to declare any change in circumstances to the tax credits office, to HMRC. My question was whether he had a second job he was not declaring. Mr Conway said he went away on holiday for the weekend, but when he returned to his house (pictured), he found the Freemans had paid workmen to move the pipe without his permission . 'I was specifically looking at the income page. I reported he had a second job. 'If I think someone is committing tax fraud and I report them I don’t think I’m committing a crime. He made so many false complaints that people said why don’t you do something. 'I even had people saying they would sort him out for me. I know what I did was wrong.' Freeman kept the details of what she was doing a secret from her bosses at HMRC, and when police initially questioned her she denied the offences. But she later changed her plea, saying: 'I attempted to get out of it in a blind panic. 'I couldn’t say to them the real reason I did, so I probably just

Summary: Row started after Denise and Alasdair Freeman built house extension . Inspector ruled drainpipe of neighbouring property passed too close to it . Freemans got into argument with Garrie Conway and Flo Couper over pipe . Denise used HMRC job to secretly pry into the tax affairs of Mr Conway . Was fired after work investigation and fined £600 by Perth Sheriff's Court .

Russians are being warned of the dangers of the spring thaw after a young university graduate was killed by an icicle that fell 14 storeys onto her head. Tatyana Igonina, 20, died just a few steps outside the front door to her home after she had left to take her dog for a walk. Her mother and doctors who had arrived at the scene in Novosibirsk, Siberia, narrowly missed being hit by further blocks of ice as they tended to her body. Scroll down for video . Tatyana Igonina, 20, was killed just a few steps from her front door after a falling icicle hit her in the head . The incident is the latest involving falling icicles to take place across Russia as the rising temperatures begin a thaw, according to The Siberian Times. Public authorities have been tasked with clearing roofs of any overhanging ice, but in some cities they are coming under scrutiny following a spate of injuries and near-misses. Tributes were paid to Ms Igonina, an only child, on Russian social media sites. She had spent the New Year on a sunshine break to Thailand and was said to be 'very happy' with her life. In a post on Vkontakte social media her cousin, Vladimir Makhonin, wrote: 'I will never forget her laughter, her eyes and smile. Farewell beloved sister. I would give everything to hear her voice again.' According to one of Ms Igonina's friends, investigators refused to approach her body until all remaining icicles were removed from the block of flats . In another tribute, a friend also wrote: 'How to live forever now. Our beauty.' Ms Igonina had recently graduated from university and was looking for a job. According to one of her friends investigators refused to approach her body until all remaining icicles were removed from the block of flats. Following a decree from the mayor of Novosibirsk, public service officials had cleared the roof a week before the tragedy but did not notice blocks office that had formed on a canopy belonging to one of the residents. It had been assumed the owner would clear the canopy himself, but he did not. Residents in Russia are used to seeing icicles and snow falling from roofs during winter and particularly in spring when the thaw begins. Icicles (pictured overhanging a balcony in Siberia) have caused dozens of deaths over the past few years after they thaw and then fall onto people passing below . In 2010, five people died and 150 were injured by icicles in St Petersburg amid the coldest winter for three decades. Nine years earlier 74 people in Moscow were the victims of falling ice, including an 18-year-old killed by a falling shard at his military base. The last death in Siberia occurred in January 2008 when an 83-year-old was killed, but there have been a number of serious injuries and near misses involving ice this month. In Novokuznetsk on March 15, a day after Tanya's death, a snow boulder fell on a 17-year-old girl, leaving her with a head wound.

Referee Moss also showed cards to McCarthy, Cesc Fabregas and Ramires after the coming together. After the game Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho walked out of a BBC interview when asked about the Ivanovic incident and when questioned by BT Sport, he replied: ‘Don’t make me laugh, don’t make me laugh.’ Ivanovic grabs hold of McCarthy in the melee that led to both Chelsea and Everton being fined £30,000 . Angry Chelsea and Everton players square up in front of the dugouts as Jonathan Moss tries to take control . In his post-match press conference, Mourinho threatened another walk-out, saying: ‘I’m concerned with my reaction because one more question (about this) and I will leave.’ Mourinho was critical of Everton, adding: ‘They made lots of fouls, what you would call intelligent fouls, but if the referee follows the rule it’s yellow card after yellow card and then inevitably you get a red card — which they eventually did.’ Everton manager Roberto Martinez was in no doubt that Ivanovic should have seen red over the alleged butt. ‘If you look at the images Ivanovic’s behaviour is wrong,’ said Martinez. ‘He grabs him around the neck in a forceful manner then puts his head against him when James McCarthy didn’t react, and if you want to be on top of the laws that’s a red card.’ Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho refused to talk about the melee or Ivanovic's actions .

Bill Cosby has released his first video message since nearly three dozen women accused him of sexual assault and has insisted: 'I'm far from finished.' In the 10-second video, which ABC News showed on Monday morning, the embattled comedian can be seen speaking on the phone as he encourages someone to come to one of his shows. 'You know I'll be hilarious,' he says in the clip, in which he wears his pajamas. 'Can't wait.' He also released a short message accompanying the video.

He made no direct reference to the accusations or the scores of women making them, but the 77-year-old comedian has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. It comes as Cosby continues to tour the U.S. with his stand-up comedy show. His next appearances are in Wheeling, West Virginia and Lexington, Kentucky this weekend. Although the shows have continued to attract fans, they have also garnered protesters. Among the demonstrations, 100 people stood outside a Denver theater in January shouting: 'Rape is no joke!' Cosby has also canceled or postponed more than a dozen performances amid the allegations, many of which exceed the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution. Just last week, Jennifer K. 'Kaya' Thompson joined the 35 other women who have made claims of sexual assault against the The Cosby Show star to say she had also been assaulted by him. She says the beloved actor pressured her into performing a sexual act on him when she was a 17-year-old aspiring model in 1988. She had met him through her New York modeling agency.

A man wanted by police made a couple of critical mistakes that led to his capture - he sent out Snapchat messages pinpointing his location. The Somerset County Sheriff's Office had been looking for Christopher Wallace, of Fairfield, Maine for several weeks in connection with a burglary in January. Police told the Morning Sentinel that on Sunday night they received tips from people who said Wallace, 24, had posted on Snapchat that he had returned to his Fairfield home. Snapped up: Wanted man Christopher Wallace was caught by police on Sunday at his home in Maine after posting messages on Snapchat which pinpointed his location . The Somerset County Sheriff's Office posted on Facebook on Monday: 'Over the past few weeks, since our press release looking for the public's assistance in locating him, Mr Wallace had become cocky. Which led to his downfall. This is where our story picks up. 'Using the Snapchat app, Wallace posted that he was at his house in Fairfield, which prompted people to call the Sheriff's Office.' Erika Hall, 20, was also arrested for hindering the police search for Wallace . Police went to the house. While they were searching with permission of the resident, they were tipped off that Wallace had posted a new Snapchat message saying police were in the house looking for him and he was hiding in a cabinet. Police wrote: 'A search of the kitchen cabinets turned up some food, some pots and pans, and also a pair of feet. 'The pair of feet just so happened to be attached to a person, and that person was Christopher Wallace. The police added: 'He was removed from the cabinet, and placed under arrest. All of that, brings me to the moral of the story. Always remain humble, my friends.' Erika Hall, 20, was also arrested for hindering apprehension. The sheriff's office wrote on Facebook: 'Let's put it this way, when the police ask you multiple times if someone is in the house, and you answer repeatedly that they are not in the house, and that you have not seen said person in ''weeks'', you're just going to get arrested. That's how it happens.'

Martin Pickering was bitten on the chest by a bus driver after he got into a row over the cost of the ticket as he travelled with his two young daughters . A father-of-two was left scarred after he boarded a bus with his two young daughters and the driver bit him as they argued about the price of the journey. Martin Pickering, 38, attempted to take a photo of the driver of the Arriva bus in Derby he had boarded after he refused to give him his name when Mr Pickering questioned him about the price of the journey for himself and his daughters, aged six and eight. But the driver was clearly angered by Mr Pickering's attempts to take a photograph and lunged at him, sinking his teeth into his chest. Mr Pickering, who is 6ft 10ins tall, said: 'When you get on a bus you don't expect you to end up being someone's lunch. 'I mean, who bites people? I was so taken aback. I couldn't believe it had happened.' The driver of the double decker bus has been cautioned by police and Mr Pickering has been awarded an out of court settlement. Mr Pickering was travelling back from a day out in Derby with his daughters,to his home on the outskirts of the city. He claims the driver on the number 45 bus charged him around £1.50 more for the outbound journey than he paid for the tickets on the way into the city. Mr Pickering sent his daughters to sit on the top deck and then claimed he attempted to reason with the driver who refused to give him an explanation. He said: 'He charged me a different price from the way into town. 'I was asking him for an explanation, but he couldn't give me one and was just being grumpy and mumbling. Mr Pickering was paid an out of court settlement of £1,500 after the bus driver lunged at him and bit him . 'I asked him for his details but he wasn't really saying anything. 'I couldn't see his badge so I took my phone out and I thought to myself that a photo of him would be just as good to take to the company. 'But he put the engine off, and it turned the lights off on the bus, and he started to get his paperwork together and he put his hand up and he knocked it out of my hand. 'It went to the floor. 'Then he bit me. He bit me on the boob. Mr Pickering was bitten by the driver of a number 45 Arriva bus as he rowed over the ticket price in Derby . 'He was only 5ft 10 and I'm 6ft 10. I assume if we were the same height he would have bitten higher.' Security officers then boarded the bus and the police were called. A spokeswoman for Derbyshire Police confirmed the driver was arrested the following day on suspicion of assault and was cautioned. Martin hired solicitors who have now secured a £1,500 out

It wasn't just the Clasico — Victor Valdes always prepared for every game by imagining the worst things that could happen. He would muscle up his psychological preparedness by spending time mentally filing through the great times in his career, the things he valued highly in his personal life. If he had a stinker, or even if he had a blinder but still couldn't stop his opponents getting the better of Barcelona, then he would have a store of precious images and memories with which to dilute the pain of defeat or failure. He would rely on them. This will be Barca's first Clasico at the Nou Camp without Valdes at the club since 2002 - 13 years. Claudio Bravo in training at Barcelona's Joan Gamper base ahead of El Clasico against Real Madrid . Despite the million-kilowatt glare given off by the stars on the playing surface, I'll miss his presence — saturnine, deeply competitive, gently eccentric, hugely effective. Damn good at his job and one of the plethora of characters who have helped elevate this to the best, most regularly high-quality, most-watched game of football in the world. I am still learning what Claudio Bravo's mind usually does to him before a big game, and, vice versa, what the former Real Sociedad keeper tries to do to either dominate or harness the powerful psychological alert system which should be telling him, right about now: 'Oh no! Real Madrid again.' From the moment when David Beckham scored past him with a free-kick at the Anoeta Stadium in February 2007, where the ball squirted past Bravo like a wet, angry salmon trying to evade capture, the contest with Los Blancos has appeared to have been Bravo's Room 101. Following that Beckham moment, Bravo has faced Madrid 10 times, losing nine, drawing one and conceding 33 goals. Like Colin Montgomerie and a major golf tournament, Brazilian Ronaldo and the Champions League, Madrid are the sharpest thorn, digging into the goalkeeper's side. Bravo joined Barcelona in the summer of 2014 and is looking to improve his record against Real Madrid . Bravo comes up against Lionel Messi in 2012 while playing for former club Real Sociedad . Back in October, leading 1-0, perhaps he allowed himself to dream. But by the end it was 3-1 going on 6-1. It's important to be clear, in not one of Real's goals — Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty, Pepe's thunderous header, Karim Benzema's blitzkrieg counter-attack third — did the Chilean carry any blame. But here he is, guardian of a team expected to win — able to make a decisive statement about taking the title back, at a time when they are in the last eight of the Champions League and Copa del Rey finalists. His mind must have wandered to ... what if? He's already admitted: 'It's true, we do talk about the Treble... it's an achievement which was in this club's recent past and it would be fantastic to repeat. The Barcelona No 1 (right) and Jordi Masip Lopez train in preparation for the game against Real

Summary: Claudio Bravo preparing for El Clasico against Real Madrid . Match will be first Clasico at Nou Camp without Victor Valdes for 13 years . Bravo played against Real Madrid a number of times with Real Sociedad . Chilean goalkeeper joined Barcelona after an impressive World Cup .

The two Australians are making their final journeys from the Bali prison where they have been incarcerated for 10 years to a sinister island they have only heard about called Nusakambangan. There, a firing squad awaits. The grim news that there is now no hope of escaping their fates hangs heavily over the family and friends of the two men.

Sukumaran only enjoyed a few more hours of freedom, his arrest coming later on the same day at the Melasti Beach Bungalows in Kuta Beach along with Bali Nine mules Si Yi Chen, Tan Duc Than Nguyen and Matthew Norman, who had 11.8 ounces of heroin strapped to their bodies. A set of scales were also in the room. One way trip: The two condemned men will fly to Tunggul Wulung airport in the central Javanese town of Cilacap 700km from Denpasar airport which they have not seen for the ten years since the Bali Nine were arrested with 8.3kg of heroin in a doomed attempt to smuggle the drugs from Indonesia back to Australia .

Michelle Obama has touched down in Tokyo in what is being described as a 'makeup call' after she 'snubbed' the Japanese by failing to accompany her husband during his state visit to Japan last year. In a further patching up of relations, Japan's Prime Minister, Shinzō Abe, is due to make a reciprocal visit to America next month. Mrs Obama's previous no-show upset members of the Japanese establishment so deeply that one politician, Kazuyuki Hamada, made the outrageous claim that the Obamas were getting divorced, as the president had been using Secret Service agents to cover for his extramarital affairs.

Mrs Obama's trip comes at a time of high tension for Americans in Japan, as Tokyo police investigate phone calls threatening to kill U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy and Alfred Magleby, the U.S. consul general based on the southern island of Okinawa. Her arrival also coincides with a visit by former president Bill Clinton, who is in the country to deliver a keynote speech at the JFK International Symposium held at Waseda University in Tokyo. During the five-day trip, Mrs Obama will also visit Cambodia - whose leader, Hun Sen, has a reputation for ruthlessness, and where child prostitution and human trafficking is rife - to highlight a campaign supporting education for girls. There were so far no details on the cost of the trip but the First Lady's group spent $222,000 over two days in hotel expenses during her 2014 trip to China, the Washington Examiner reported. Mrs Obama, who is visiting Japan for the first time, will have separate meetings with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko. She will visit historic sites in the ancient capital, Kyoto, before travelling to Cambodia. In Tokyo she plans to announce, along with Japanese first lady Akie Abe, the Let Girls Learn initiative, a partnership supporting girls' education. The two will also meet with Japanese university students. It is hoped that the community-based aid program, led by the Peace Corps and similar aid organizations, will help get 62 million girls back into school.

April Jones would have been eight next month. The schoolgirl was murdered by lifeguard Mark Bridger in 2012, who abducted the five-year-old whilst she was out playing on her bike, just minutes from home. Speaking to Closer magazine this week about how she will mark her dead daughter's birthday, Coral, 43, admitted that she will be baking April's favourite chocolate cake. April Jones was murdered by lifeguard Mark Bridger in October 2012. The schoolgirl would have been eight next month . Coral, who still carries April's teddy bear everywhere she goes, says: 'I’ll make a chocolate sparkly cake because that was her favourite. We’ll take balloons to her graveside and release lanterns into the sky in our garden in her memory. 'April loved birthdays and would get so excited. On her fifth birthday, we had a children’s entertainer, and she was singing and dancing – we had no idea that would be her last party. 'April is a hard month for us. I still can’t go out alone and I can’t eat or sleep properly.' April is pictured here with sister Jazmin, father Paul, mother Coral and brother Harley . April's violent murder united the country in revulsion and shock in 2012. Bridger, it emerged, was obsessed with violent child pornography: he hoarded 400 disgusting images on his computer and watched a horrific rape scene in a film before killing April. Bridger’s depravity and evil were matched by his duplicity: he failed to admit to his crime, lying that he had killed April by running her over in his car. He has also steadfastly refused to say what he did with her body. What remained of April's body was buried in September 2013 in the family's home town of Machynlleth, Wales . As a result Coral, and April's father Paul have been denied the scant solace of burying their little girl. ‘Mark Bridger is behind bars, but we are trapped in our own prison, too,’ Coral told The Daily Mail in January last year. ‘We’ll carry our pain for the rest of our lives. We’ll never be free from it. I cry every day.' It emerged that April Jones's killer Mark Bridger made as many as 100,000 indecent searches online . Coral and Paul, who have two other children, Jazmin, 18, and Harley, 12, have since set up April’s Law – a campaign to stop indecent images of children being allowed on the internet. The full article appears in this week’s Closer magazine real-life special, on sale now . The couple have met with Prime Minister David Cameron and say: 'We want a new law to stop people being able to access online child pornography. We also want longer sentences for paedophiles and think they should be on the sex offender's register for life. 'I am really overprotective towards April’s brother and sister now. Jazmin is 19 and has a boyfriend, but I need to know where she is all the time. 'I miss April every day. She was such a kind-natured girl. She wanted to swim with dolphins, but she’ll never

Manuel Pellegrini and his Manchester City squad touched down on home soil on Thursday evening following their Champions League dismissal by Barcelona the night before. The likes of Sergio Aguero, Joe Hart and Pablo Zabaleta wore pained expressions as they left Manchester airport following their humbling at the Nou Cup. Ivan Rakitic’s 31st-minute strike was enough to secure a 1-0 victory and ease the Catalan giants into the quarter-final of the European Cup with a 3-1 aggregate win. Pablo Zabaleta (left) and Sergio Aguero leave Manchester Airport following their defeat by Barcelona . Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has now lost to the La Liga giants four times during his tenure . Frank Lampard (left) and Bacary Sagna will have little time to rest on their laurels this week . Joe Hart was in inspired form against Barcelona as he thwarted a host of attacks from the Catalans . Aguero had a penalty saved in the 78th minute that would have made the closing stages more interesting, but the reality is that Barcelona threatened to humiliate the Barclays Premier League champions only for a heroic goalkeeping performance from Hart. The squad returned to Manchester late on Thursday evening after they remained in Barcelona overnight and held a session at Espanyol's training ground earlier in the day. The players were given no time to mull over their European exit after they were taught a lesson over two legs by Lionel Messi and Co. Manuel Pellegrini has been beaten four times by Barcelona since becoming Manchester City manager . After such a commanding performance by the La Liga leaders captain Vincent Kompany was forced to admit that Manchester City are still a long way behind the very best in Europe. 'The reality is they were a better team, there is no shame in admitting that. For me there is a big, big difference. 'I will just mention Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and then there are the rest of the teams, with Real Madrid probably in between. 'Ultimately we have always said our goal is to become as good as them, but it will take some time. They are really good.' Ivan Rakitic scores the only goal of the game as Barcelona progress against Manchester City . Rakitic is mobbed by his Barcelona team-mates after his 31st-minute strike in the second leg . Pellegrini echoed Kompany's comments and admitted that Barcelona, with the mesmeric Messi at the helm, are simply a better side than City at present. ‘Messi was imperious - at the moment we have to accept Barcelona are better,' said Pellegrini. ‘It is not a failure, it is a disappointment. We have been unlucky to play Barcelona for two years in a row. We have had a restriction on the number of players we can use in the Champions League.' 'It is very difficult to beat Barcelona, but the statistics I don’t care about. ‘We cannot analyse what we will do next season because it is too soon after this result. We can do that later. ‘It is not easy to play Barcelona.

Barcelona progressed to the quarter-final following a 3-1 aggregate win . Manuel Pellegrini has been beaten four times by Barcelona since becoming City manager .

Ukip's only Scottish MEP David Coburn is facing calls to resign . Nigel Farage is today at the centre of a political storm after refusing to condemn his party's only elected politician in Scotland for comparing an SNP minister to convicted terrorist Abu Hamza. The Ukip leader claimed that David Coburn's controversial remark was merely a 'joke in poor taste' and has rejected cross-party demands to kick the MEP out of the party. The Daily Mail told on Saturday how Mr Coburn, who is also bidding to become an MP in the General Election, said in conversation: 'Humza Yousaf, or as I call him, Abu Hamza.' Mr Yousaf, the Scottish Minister for Europe and International Development, last night said Mr Farage's response was 'pitiful' and challenged him to sack Mr Coburn. Mr Yousaf is now taking legal advice following the 'Islamophobic' slur, and will subsequently consider reporting the issue to the police. Scotland's party leaders and high-profile UK politicians have joined forces to condemn Mr Coburn. An online petition calling for Mr Coburn to resign has been launched, with nearly 300 signatures as of last night. In the wake of the controversy, the SNP has called on David Cameron to rule out a post-election deal with Ukip. Mr Coburn, who has insisted his remark was made 'in jest', made the comment during a telephone conversation with the Scottish Daily Mail last week, in which he spoke about his appearance on BBC Two show The Big Immigration Debate. He claimed that Mr Yousaf was supposed to appear on the programme, and said: 'Humza Yousaf, or as I call him, Abu Hamza, didn't seem to turn up.' Challenged by the Mail during the conversation, Mr Coburn said the remark was intended to be private. However, there had been no prior agreement that the discussion was off-the -record. Hook-handed Hamza was earlier this year given a life sentence by a New York judge for supporting terrorism. The hate cleric was convicted last May of multiple charges, including hostage-taking and plotting to set up a terror training camp in the US. The Scottish Daily Mail telephoned Ukip leader Nigel Farage yesterday to ask for his response to Mr Coburn's remark. He replied: 'I really haven't read them in full, to be honest with you, I've been busy doing other things.' Informed of what was said and told that Mr Yousaf has called for disciplinary action against Mr Coburn for making an 'Islamophobic' comment, Mr Farage replied: 'What, for telling a joke in poor taste?' He added: 'It looks to me like a joke. I haven't spoken to Mr Coburn at all, but I assume it's a joke in poor taste.' Pressed if he would suspend Mr Coburn, he said: 'No... come on, this is nonsense isn't it? 'The bloke has made a joke in poor taste is my interpretation of it. I think one should make jokes in good taste, not jokes in poor taste.' Asked again if he would take any action, Mr Farage said: 'Not right now. I have many other things on my

Suad Awad, 41 (pictured outside court), lunged at extended relative Amina Essa at Shepherd's Bush Mosque in west London. She bit a chunk out of her face before spitting the skin on the floor . A mother-of-two who bit a chunk out of a fellow worshipper's face at a mosque before spitting the skin out on the floor has been spared jail. Suad Awad, 41, lunged at extended relative Amina Essa at Shepherd's Bush Mosque in west London on May 4, 2013. Ms Essa, who said she could 'think of no reason why there could be bad blood between them', was left needing plastic surgery for the wound above her left eye. Awad, a Somali-born unemployed part-time student who lives in Shepherd's Bush, has now pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm at Isleworth Crown Court. The court heard that there appeared to be no motive for the incident, although the prosecution hinted at a dispute after Ms Essa apparently made comments about Awad's husband. Nadeem Holland, prosecuting, said: 'The victim was leaving the mosque after completing her prayers and came across the defendant, who appeared to be entering. 'They are known to each other as members of the same extended family, their grandmothers are sisters. 'Ms Essa could think of no reason there could be bad blood between them, but there was a phone call several months earlier when she was supposed to have made comments about the defendant's husband. 'Ms Essa says the defendant jumped at her and could immediately feel the defendant biting her and heard a crunching noise and heard her spit. 'She says: "The blood came down like rain down my face." 'The defendant attempted to bite her a second time on the nose and Ms Essa moved her head and tried to push the defendant away and as she did the defendant bit down on the middle finger of her right hand. The incident occurred at Shepherd's Bush Mosque in west London (pictured above) on May 4, 2013 . 'As Ms Essa tried to pull her finger away the defendant bit again, holding it in her mouth. 'She was shouting: "Let go, help, help" and two women intervened and assisted in getting the defendant off Ms Essa.' Ms Essa has been receiving ongoing treatment for her wounds, including plastic surgery in which doctors have taken fat from another part of her body to use as a skin graft. Andrew Sheriff, Awad's lawyer, agreed that there appeared to be no motive for the attack and said it was a 'one-off incident'. He said: 'The parties can't assist with the motivation for the attack and the probation report suggests cultural or religious differences. 'There was no pre-meditation, she was not following the victim and it seems to be an accidental meeting and resulted in what she describes as an absolute moment of madness. 'This is a one-off incident in her life and there is remorse shown and no suggestion of on-going animosity. She is the sole carer of children aged seven and five.' Judge Andrew McDowall handed Awad

A creak of leather as the Home Secretary dips her knees to curtsy for the Queen. Mrs May teamed the adventurous boots with a colourful red and gold coat and a warm pair of long red gloves . There was no optical illusion to the bright overcoat that the MP for Maidenhead was wearing either. The colourful red and gold number, which Mrs May has showcased before, more than matched the thigh-high boots for glamour. A 41-gun salute, fired by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery sounded as President Nieto and his wife arrived with the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. On a particularly inclement day, perhaps the boots were as much about warmth as they were about fashion. It's also not the first time they've been seen; Mrs May donned the same pair - or something very similar - for another ceremonial greeting back in 2013 when the President of South Korea, Park Geun-Hye arrived for an official visit.

Matthew has not been charged in that case. 'I really felt honor-bound as Morgan's mother to be here today,' Harrington said after the hearing. 'Being a witness to these proceedings is one of the few things I can do for her.' Harrington said she made eye contact with the handcuffed and shackled Matthew when he was brought into court. 'It's a strange feeling,' she said. Matthew, 33, looked around the courtroom upon entering but said nothing during the hearing, which was attended by his relatives.

The Duke of Edinburgh was seen enjoying the spring-like weather today while driving a carriage of four horses through the Windsor town centre . He is even credited with developing the sport - and an early carriage driving rule book was drafted under his supervision. He began driving ponies, before progressing to Cleveland Bay horses. By 1973 he felt that he was suitably proficient to take up the sport competitively and he still enters carriage driving competitions today having achieved several wins in regional competitions. In his book ‘30 years on and off the box seat’ The Duke of Edinburgh describes the appeal of the sport: ‘I am getting old, my reactions are getting slower, and my memory is unreliable, but I have never lost the sheer pleasure of driving a team through the British countryside. 'I have been fortunate to have had a longer innings than most, and I have no intention of giving up while I have a team of willing ponies and dedicated staff and while I can still cope with the challenges which carriage driving presents me with.’ The prince looked healthy and happy during his trip out in the sunshine earlier this week. The 93-year-old is an avid carriage driver - taking up the sport in 1971 after giving up polo . In recent years, the prince has suffered several bouts of ill-health, however, the most serious of which was over Christmas 2011 when he was rushed into hospital for emergency heart surgery after suffering a blocked artery, which involved him having a stent fitted. He was also forced to pull out of several key engagements to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012 having developed a severe bladder infection after being forced to stand for hours in driving wind and rain during a celebratory river pageant.

He also spent his birthday - June 10 - in 2013 in hospital after undergoing an ‘exploratory’ operation for unexplained abdominal pain. The results of the tests have never been released. Yet aides have admitted it is difficult to persuade Philip to slow down, with one saying: ‘No one would ever dare tell him to take it easy - you might as well take your life in your hands.’ 'The Duke cannot bear anyone making a fuss.'

Ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez was 'on edge' and aggressive at a Boston nightclub two nights before prosecutors say he killed another football player, a witness told jurors at his murder trial on Thursday. Kasey Arma, who danced with the former New England Patriots tight end at Rumor nightclub early on June 15, 2013, said he initially seemed relaxed, but later appeared irritated, grabbing her and telling her to dance with him in another part of the club.

'On edge': She described how the former New England Patriots tight end initially seemed relaxed, but later appeared irritated, grabbing her and telling her to dance with him in another part of the club . Hernandez, 25, is on trial at Bristol County Superior Court in Fall River, Massachusetts, for fatally shooting Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player who was dating his fiancée's sister, early on June 17, 2013. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of life in prison without parole. Prosecutors say Hernandez became upset with Lloyd at the club that night for associating with people he disliked. Lloyd had gone to the club with Hernandez and his barber, Roberto Olivares, according to prosecutors. An acquaintance of Lloyd's who was also at the club, Kwami Nicholas, testified earlier this week that Hernandez stared for several minutes at Lloyd and another man, and appeared angry before storming out of the club, with Lloyd running to catch up. Arma, who had seen Hernandez at the club several times before, said Hernandez initially tapped her on the hip to get her attention. She said she danced with Hernandez, who introduced himself as 'Rock,' for several minutes before he abruptly walked away. Distressing: Ursula Ward, mother of murder victim Odin Lloyd, puts her hand on her face as an image of her son's body is displayed on a monitor during the murder trial .

Also on Thursday, prosecutors showed surveillance video recorded at Hernandez's house in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, hours after Lloyd's death. It showed Hernandez and two alleged accomplices, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, in different parts of the house, at times playing with Hernandez's baby daughter and swimming in his pool. Prosecutors say Hernandez, Wallace and Ortiz picked up Lloyd at Lloyd's Boston house early on June 17, 2013, and drove him to an industrial park near Hernandez's house where his bullet-riddled body was later found.

More than £150,000 of taxpayers’ money has been spent on four traffic-blocking bollards - that cars can drive around. Councillors installed the new rising posts in Gloucester in a bid to promote a ‘cafe culture’, but they have already impaled a police car and been blamed for a downturn in trade by shopkeepers. The posts, which operate between 10am and 5pm every day, have been installed in the city centre on four ‘gate’ streets to keep vehicles out of the pedestrian area. Problematic: Councillors installed the new rising posts in Gloucester in a bid to promote a 'cafe culture' - but they have already impaled a police car and been blamed for a downturn in trade by shopkeepers . But city councillor Sebastian Field said he saw a car getting past one of the bollards, telling a meeting: ‘It was going at quite a speed and it wasn’t too tight. This needs to be sorted out.’ Traders have also voiced concerns about emergency vehicles being delayed by the bollards - which have been jointly funded at a cost of £157,000 by the local city and county councils. Up and down: Traders have voiced concerns about emergency vehicles being delayed by the bollards . And last week a police car entering the zone in pursuit of a shoplifter was impaled on one of the bollards, which suddenly rose up beneath it. City council leader Paul James admitted there were ‘teething problems’ with the system, but claimed it would bring value in the long term. He added: ‘I imagine it must have been pretty tight for any car to pass through but we must report it to highways to address the issue. Of course we want the system to work properly.’ Vernon Smith, cabinet member for highways and floods at the county council, said that planters either side of the bollards would be moved to reduce the gap. ‘It’s been illegal since the Nineties to drive on the gate streets between 10am and 5pm, and the police can enforce against any vehicles which are there when they shouldn’t be.’ The bollards, which began working on March 2, were installed following pedestrian safety concerns.

Albert Podell's passport stamp collection probably trumps yours. The former Playboy editor, author and adventurer has travelled to each of the world's 196 countries over a period of fifty years. Podell, now 78, has encountered everything from run ins with guerillas in Yemen to being attacked by flying crabs in Algeria and being interrogated by Cuban secret police. 'Aged six, I started to collect postage stamps, and where the other kids specialised in certain countries, I wanted a stamp from every country in the world. Getting a passport stamps from every one may have been inspired by that,' he tells Mail Online Travel. 'Those little coloured bits of perforated paper also instilled in me a fascination with travel because I wanted to see the lands where all the objects, people, and places depicted on those stamps came from.' The Huli Wigmen of Papua New Guinea spend several years under the supervision of a wig master to grow these huge wigs, says Podell . 'My parents were poor and could not afford to travel, which led me to resolve early on that there was more to life than hanging around in one city forever. The author has been driven by wanderlust ever since: When he was 28 he led an expedition around the world the set the record for the longest direct, non-repetitive automobile journey ever made around the earth. And growing older spurred him on. 'As I moved past middle age, I still wanted to do one grand and glorious travel venture, to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, and, after I realized that I had been to 90 nations, I decided that I just might be able to visit every one of the 196 countries during my allotted years,' he says. His travels have taken him to the furthest flung corners of the globe, allowing him to meet some of the world's most colourful characters: In his book, Around the World in Fifty Years, released this month, he fondly remembers a flamboyant camel driver; a voodoo priest and a deaf and mute Japanese badminton Olympian. Pretty in pink: Two hostesses in traditional Korean dress welcoming Podell to a foreigners-only restaurant in North Korea . A smiling woman wearing yellow in Ghana, left.

'We all read about the economic inequality between the rich and poor nations, and about the great wealth gap between the rich and poor people within nations, but until you actually see people – one third of the world, in fact – trying to manage to live on less than two dollars a day, it does not hit home,' says Podell . In the course of his travels Podell has eaten: . Armadillo - in the hills of Grenada . Zebra - in Kenya . Fish lips, fish eyes, fungus soup, duck's feet, roasted duck gizzard, braised jellyfish, spicy soup of shredded intestines and organ meats boiled in blood, sea cucumber - in China . Kangaroo, ostrich, emu, and Moreton Bay Bugs - in Australia . Poisonous ugu sushi -

This is the haunting last picture of a 'kind and caring' Iranian sports journalist, taken in the window of his Barcelona hotel hours before he boarded the doomed Germanwings flight. Hussein Javadi took the picture in the window of Hotel Hespiria before he departed for the airport on Tuesday morning, sharing it on his private Instagram account.

Mr Javadi, along with fellow Iranian sports journalist Milad Hojatoleslami, were travelling to Austria, where they were due to cover a match between Iran and Chile. But they never reached their destination, as the plane was plunged into the Alps by German pilot Andreas Günter Lubitz, killing all 150 people on board the flight to Dussedorf. Mr Javadi's long-time friend Maysam Bizær - who shared the picture on his Twitter account after learning of the tragedy - told the Evening Standard: 'He was a kind, loving and caring man with high passion for his work and football.' The heartbreaking picture of Mr Javadi, who worked for Vatan Emrooz newspaper, is just one of the traces left behind of the passengers' final hours.

The chilling final moments of the doomed jet were revealed by French prosecutors who said Lubitz's sole aim was to 'destroy the plane'.
