Henrik Stenson was angry with tournament officials after two late mistakes cost him victory in the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill on Sunday. Stenson had seen his two-shot overnight lead turned into a two-shot deficit in the space of eight holes, but fought back to reclaim the outright lead with six holes of the final round to play. However, the Ryder Cup star - who had played the final four holes in four under par on Friday and Saturday - three-putted the 15th for a bogey and did the same for par on the 16th after finding the green in two.

Stenson was unhappy at being timed for slow play on the back nine, telling reporters: 'I'm obviously a little disappointed with the outcome. 'I'm as much disappointed with the PGA Tour officials for putting us on the clock on 15, starting to chase us down the stretch. It's busy enough trying to close out a golf tournament and to play the finishing holes without being on the clock. I did not see the reason for that really.' Every, who was four behind heading into the final round last year and three adrift of Stenson on Sunday, said: 'Last year I just made everything but this year I was driving it really well and my irons were spot on.

I still need to work on some things ahead of Augusta. 'I am excited going there with the opportunity to achieve three in a row, the career grand slam. It's a nice position to be in. I'm going to embrace it, try not to build it up too much. I know it's

An asteroid so large it has the potential to cause widespread devastation is on its way towards Earth. But despite being called a ‘Potentially Hazardous Asteroid’ (PHA) by Nasa, experts are telling people not to be worried. The huge rock, called 2014 YB35, will sail past the planet tomorrow morning at a distance so large it it is 11.7 times further than the distance between Earth and the moon. Scroll down for video . Asteroid 2014 YB35 will pass 2.8 million miles from Earth tomorrow (artist's impression shown). It was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey at the University of Arizona. The asteroid is estimated to be 1,640ft-wider (500 metres) which would be large enough to cause devastation - but it will not hit Earth . And while this event will occur without incident, the experts added it is a reminder of how many dangerous space rocks there are in our planet’s vicinity. The asteroid is estimated to be about 1,640ft (500 metres) wide which, if it hit Earth, would be large enough to cause widespread devastation - although there is no chance of this happening. However, it is estimated that there are about 25,000 near-Earth objects (NEOs) larger than 460ft (140 metres), bodies that come close to Earth but don't necessarily hit our planet. And there are also an estimated 1,000 NEOs larger than 3,280ft (one kilometre), highlighting the need to keep track of these space rocks. On average, Earth is hit by a football pitch-sized rock every 5,000 years, and a civilisation-ending asteroid every one million years, according to Nasa's Near-Earth Object Program. Last year, the privately-funded B612 Foundation discovered that Earth is up to 10 times more likely to be hit than previously thought. While the majority of the impacts occur either high up in the atmosphere, or in unpopulated areas including the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the danger was still ever-present. The findings were based on information released from the Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation. This operates a network of sensors that monitor Earth around the clock listening for the infrasound signatures of nuclear detonations. But what these sensors found were not nuclear explosions, but rather asteroid impacts on a huge scale. Between 2000 and 2013 the network detected 26 explosions on Earth ranging in energy from one to 600 kilotons - all caused by asteroid impacts. Relative to Earth, asteroid 2014 YB35 is travelling at 23,000 mph (37,000 km/h), and its closest approach tomorrow will be 2,779,956 miles (4,473,907km). It was first discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey at the University of Arizona in December 2014, and will make an even closer, but still safe, approach in 2033 - 2,069,166 miles (3,330,000km). Nasa lists 2014 YB35 as a ‘Potentially Hazardous Asteroid’ (PHA) but, as yet, there is no chance of an impact scheduled for any point in future. ‘This “potential” to make close Earth approaches does not mean a PHA will impact the Earth,’ said Nasa. ‘It only means there is a possibility for such a threat. 'By monitoring these PHAs and updating their orbits as new observations become

Summary: Asteroid 2014 YB35 will pass 2.8 million miles from Earth tomorrow . It was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey at the University of Arizona . Nasa classifies it as a 'Potentially Hazardous Asteroid' (PHA) The asteroid is estimated to be 1,640 feet-wide (500 metres) This would be large enough to cause devastation - but it will not hit Earth . In fact it will sail past at distance that is 11.7 times further than the distance between the Earth and the moon . Experts said, however, it highlights a need to do more to track asteroids .


Passengers aboard the stricken Delta flight which skidded off the runway at New York City's La Guardia airport thought they were going to die, survivors revealed today. Speaking of their terror as Flight 1086 from Atlanta almost slammed into Flushing Bay as heavy snow battered the airport, the passengers said they considered themselves very fortunate. Husband and wife, Sam Stern and Roxanne Joffe were sat in the exit row of the jet and as it became clear the landing was going very wrong, feared the worst. Scroll Down for Video . Lucky: Sam Stern and his wife Roxanne Joffe feared for their lives during the plane crash at New York City's La Guardia airport on Thursday . Fleeing: Sam Stern and Roxanne Joffe managed to turn around and take this picture in the aftermath of the plane crash at La Guardia . 'It was snowing and the plane hit the ground. It seemed as if the brakes took for a second and then the plane started accelerating and it was obvious it wasn't going to stop. I thought I was going to die,' said Joffe to WTSP. 'When it finally came to a stop, there was deadly, deadly silence.' As the plane skidded, Joffe said she thought they were going to go straight into the water, like US Airways Flight 1549 - the famous 'Miracle on the Hudson'. Of the 127 passengers and five crew aboard, only two were injured. Joffe's husband, Sam Stern, also thought the crash was the end. 'I was in the exit row,' said Stern, 64, of Sarasota, Florida, to the New York Post. 'I had to pull the window in. They always ask you, ‘Are you prepared, willing and able to assist in the event of an evacuation?. 'But you never expect it’ll happen to you.' While the terrifying landing was unfolding, Stern's wildest fears were racing. 'In my mind, I was thinking, ‘Holy cow, are we going to flip over? Spin out?' said Stern. 'They managed to keep the nose forward. Finally, we hit this fence. The left side of the plane was looking over the water. 'The guy sitting right opposite me, he thought we were going in the water. He said he was thinking about the plane crash in the Hudson.' LaGuardia was shut down soon after the incident as the plane was leaking 300 gallons of fuel at a rate of a gallon a minute, with all incoming flights being diverted and outgoing flights being grounded. The fuel leak was quickly contained. Scene: A Delta flight slid off the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York City on Thursday morning .

A vandal thought to be as young as four was captured on CCTV vandalising a father-of-two's Audi on Mother's Day. David Draper was horrified when footage on his home security camera showed the boy running a key along the side of his grey car. The 37-year-old from Crosby in Liverpool said the vandalism took place at around lunchtime on Mother's Day. The youngster was seen pulling a sharp object or key out of his pocket and running it along the side of the Audi . Two seemingly older children are seen walking along the street ahead of the younger boy in the video. The child is seen calmly pulling what appears to be a key from the pocket of his grey tracksuit, all the while maintaining his pace. He runs the object along Mr Draper's car, leaving a long, white scratch. The father of two claims his was not the only car on the quiet residential street to have been damaged last Sunday. 'I've lived here for five years, it’s a nice area. Nothing like this has happened before. 'This young boy scratched my car in the street and was seemingly allowed to do so. 'I don’t know who the children are. I knocked on the doors of my neighbours and have discovered their cars have also been damaged as well. 'I’m hoping I’ll be able to just paint over it but it’s still damaged. I don’t recognise the older boy or any of the children.' Mr Draper is now planning to report the incident to police after having been unable to identify the children in the video by speaking to neighbours. Mr Draper said other cars on the quiet residential street had been damaged on Mothers Day afternoon . The father of two now plans to report the incident to police after having been unable to find the children responsible .

The Premier League can easily accommodate an initiative to limit away fans tickets at £20 to protect the 'spectacle' of their product, according to the chief executive of the Football Supporters' Federation Kevin Miles. Chairmen of English football's 20 elite clubs met in central London on Wednesday for the first time since the bumper new £5.14billion television broadcasting deal was announced. The FSF presented an open letter to the chairmen, which was co-signed by fan groups from every Premier League club, detailing what it believes are key elements to such as the cost of attending live matches, facilities for away fans, more supporter engagement as well a fairer distribution of football's wealth throughout the domestic game and grassroots. Football Supporters' Federation campaigners demonstrate outside the meeting of Premier League chairmen . Ticket prices have long been a thorny issue within the modern game, particularly for the away supporters, who often feel they are not being given a fair price especially those of the leading clubs. A recent survey by the FSF showed the likes of Arsenal's top price for visiting supporters was £64, QPR charged £55 while Sunderland were cheapest at £39. Crystal Palace charged both home and away fans £40 at Selhurst Park. FSF chief executive Miles believes making such a gesture would not only show a level of good will to paying customers, but also maintain the unique live atmosphere which makes the Premier League such an attractive proposition. The FSF's Chief Executive, Kevin Miles, speaks during the 'Share TV Wealth' demonstration . 'The uplift on domestic television rights alone, not including the overseas deal, is the equivalent of more than £40 for every single ticket sold at each game over the three years, so that gives you an idea of how much manoeuvre the clubs have got - and with that much money going into the game, how they could afford to treat people a lot better,' Miles said. 'The Premier League has already set one or two precedents, there are already rules to benefit away fans, like how many seats they have to allocate in the stadium and how they cannot charge away fans more than the home fans for similar accommodation. 'They also ring-fence money via the "Away Fans Initiative" to be invested into increasing numbers of away fans. 'What we are proposing out of this huge increase in money is they increase the amount of money involved.' The FSF have argued that away fans should get in to Premier League games for £20 pounds at every ground . Miles continued: 'Our "Twenty's Plenty" idea to be implemented, we believe would cost the clubs around £20million a season, which is £1million per club, then talk to the fans about how they want that money used, it could make a huge difference to the experience of away support. 'They could make this contribution easily and relatively cheaply, to guarantee the atmosphere with participation of away fans to keep their numbers up, which have declined over the last 10 years and that is something which needs to be addressed.'

Summary: Football Supporters' Federation calls on Premier League to regulate prices . 'Twenty's plenty' campaign seeks to cap ticket costs for travelling fans . Premier League chairmen met for first time since bumper £5bn TV deak .


Public transport was free in Paris today and half of the city's cars were forced off the road in a bid to fight pollution. In a radical move which will be studied in other European capitals like London, French Socialists said everything had to be done to make air cleaner. Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, said: 'I am delighted the state has agreed to put in place a partial driving ban on Monday, which I have been requesting for several days.' Scroll down for video . Public transport was free in Paris today and half of the city's cars were forced off the road in a bid to fight pollution . Only vehicles with number plates ending in an odd number were allowed, with exemptions for taxis, electric cars and ambulances. Authorities were planning to ban cars with even numbers on Tuesday, but the scheme was halted following improving forecasts. Foreign visitors to Paris, including thousands of Britons on holiday, were also permitted to use their cars. But police patrols were seen booking locals who flouted the ban, forcing them to return home. Meanwhile, Metro trains and buses were full to overflowing as thousands abandoned their vehicles. 'There are horrific crushes on the trains,' said Jean Babin, a 43-year-old commuter from the suburb of Juvisy, who usually travels to the city in his Renault. 'Free transport is a great idea in principle but it can potentially cause a number of problems of its own, and you do wonder who is going to pay for it all'.

Sacked: Elaine McHale, 57, has lost her latest £110,000-a-year job at Leicester City Council after her department failed to allocate social workers to look after hundreds of vulnerable children . A council manager who retired from her £160,000-a-year job after the deaths of four children only to take a new social services job has been sacked after a fresh scandal, MailOnline can reveal today. Elaine McHale lost her £110,000-a-year job at Leicester City Council after her team failed to allocate social workers to look after hundreds of vulnerable children. Leicester's Labour mayor Sir Peter Soulsby has said Ms McHale was sacked after her 'botched review' caused her social services department to 'fall apart', which could have put children in the city at risk. But MailOnline can reveal that she moved to Leicester despite retiring from her £159,346-a-year job (total remuneration including pension contribution) at Wakefield Borough Council in 2012 as it emerged that the deaths of four children were being investigated. One of the serious case reviews probed by child protection experts was the murder of five-year-old Haroon Bhatti by his father Pazeer Ahmed, who burnt then beat his son to death. Ms McHale announced she was retiring from her job as director for family services a day after Ahmed was jailed for life, the council said the timing was coincidental. Another of the reviews considered whether the authorities could have stopped the murder of eight-week-old Grace Barnes, who had her skull crushed by her father Richard in November 2011 after getting drunk on beer, whisky and vodka. Wakefield Council insisted Ms McHale's retirement had been spoken about for 'some time' before the four serious case reviews were announced. But instead of retiring completely she then moved to Leicester City Council as Strategic Director Adult Social Care and Health earning between £110,000 and £115,000-a-year until her departure on Friday. Revealing her sacking, Sir Peter Soulsby said there had been a 'complete failure' to inform the council's leadership about the scandal, which meant Elaine McHale was dismissed with immediate effect. He added that her management meant 'children have potentially been put at risk and this cannot be tolerated'. Cases: Mrs McHale retired from Wakefield Council in the wake of four serious case reviews, including Pazeer Ahmed's (left) murder of his child Haroon Bhatti and Richard Barnes' murder of his baby Grace (right) Ms McHale was sacked with cabinet member Vi Dempster after the council was presented with a draft report of a recent Ofsted inspection of its social services department. Inspectors found that a poorly-managed review of front-line social workers carried out in the summer of 2014 by Ms McHale 'resulted in more than 30 leaving the authority during which time vulnerable children were put at risk by not being allocated the social workers they needed', the council said today. Critics have today demanded an end to the 'merry-go-round' at the top of councils where staff on huge salaries are allowed to resign or retire after scandals only to quickly find a new 'cushy' job. Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance,

Mesut Ozil might have been in good form since returning from injury this season, but he still needs to be better if Arsenal are to challenge for the title, according to Gunners legend Gilberto Silva. The Brazilian, a member of the Gunners' Invincibles team, labelled the German 'slow' and says he has to be more decisive. Gilberto acknowledged Ozil's quality, but insists that he needs to start paying off the faith Arsene Wenger showed by spending £42.5m to bring him to the Emirates Stadium from Real Madrid. Mesut Ozil has not found things easy since moving to Arsenal, but has improved recently . Ozil has a shot deflected over the bar against Everton, and Gilberto Silva says he must offer more . 'You speak about Arsenal and how they don't spend big money on a player often but they did with (Mesut) Ozil and it is always a bit risky,' he said. 'Coming from Spain it is tough to adapt, it doesn't always happen straight away. 'I do really like him as a player but sometimes in the game he does look quite slow, although he has that quality to change the game. 'He can be more decisive for Arsenal for the quality he has, he can be much more decisive for the club. Arsenal have not won the Premier League in the 11 years since Gilberto and his team-mates went unbeaten, and the 38-year-old believes they still don't have the financial firepower to challege Chelsea and Manchester City. Gilberto was a key member of the Arsenal team that went an entire Premier League season unbeaten in 2004 . Arsenal have not won the title since their Invincible season, but Gilberto insists it is now time to challenge . But Gilberto also stressed that the club should be aiming for the title, and given time Arsene Wenger can lead his current squad to glory. 'Arsenal hasn't been able to compete with Chelsea and Manchester City for a few years because they spend money on big names and this is not the Arsenal culture', said Gilberto. 'They don't spend a lot of money to sign players but apart from that it is not easy to find a way to get back on track to win titles. Ozil is the Gunners record signing, but in general the club has not tried to compete with rich clubs financially . The German playmaker will need to improve if Arsenal are to mount a serious title challenge, says Gilberto . 'It was important for them last season that they won the FA Cup but a team like Arsenal need more and I hope they find a way to achieve what they always look for. 'If you look at Chelsea, they spent a lot of money on a player like Diego Costa and he has settled really well and is scoring lots of goals, that has worked for them but it is not as easy for Arsenal. 'If the players concentrate on their job and pull together they can form a strong team and try to feel good

An airline has paid an undisclosed amount to more than 70 injured survivors of plane crash in San Francisco two years ago, court papers have revealed. The beneficiaries are all survivors of Asiana Flight 214, which slammed into a seawall at the city's airport in March 2013, leaving three dead and nearly 200 injured. The settlement with 72 passengers who filed personal injury claims also includes Boeing, which made the airplane, and Air Cruisers Co., the New Jersey company that made its evacuation slides. Liabilities: The wreckage of Asiana Flight 214 after it crashed at the San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco. More than 70 passengers have reached a settlement in their lawsuits against the airline . Disaster: An aerial view of the destroyed aircraft, which was consumed by fire after crash landing . The court filing published yesterday did not include the settlement's financial terms, details which plaintiffs' attorney Frank Pitre said are confidential. 'This is the first positive step for these passengers to be able to get closure on a tragic, catastrophic crash and hopefully try to get their lives back together,' Mr Pitre said. 'We're pleased we've been able to get this first phase resolved.' Dozens more cases involving other passengers are still pending in federal court in Northern California. Boeing spokesman Miles Kotay said the aerospace firm does not comment on pending litigation. Calls to attorneys for Asiana and Air Cruisers Co. were not immediately returned, the Associated Press reported. On July 6 2013 three Chinese teenagers were killed and nearly 200 others hurt when the Boeing 777 from South Korea slammed into a seawall at the end of a runway during final approach to to San Francisco International Airport. The impact ripped off the back of the plane, tossed out three flight attendants and their seats, and scattered pieces of the jet across the runway as it spun and skidded to a stop. Victims: Ye Mengyuan, left, and Wang Linjia, right, pose for photos with other classmates in the classroom in Jiangshan city in eastern China's Zhejiang province. Both died in the Asiana jet crash in 2013 . Grief: An unidentified relative of one of the crash victims cries at the Asiana Airlines' counter as she and other family members check in for a flight to San Francisco at Pudong International Airport in Shanghai . U.S. safety investigators blamed the pilots, saying they bungled the landing approach by inadvertently deactivating the plane's key control for airspeed, among other errors. But the National Transportation Safety Board also said the complexity of the Boeing 777's auto-throttle and auto flight director — two of the plane's key systems for controlling flight — contributed to the accident. The NTSB also faulted materials provided to airlines by Chicago-based Boeing, saying they fail to make clear the conditions in which the auto-throttle doesn't automatically maintain speed. Investigators said captain Lee Kang-Kuk, a seasoned Airbus A320 pilot transitioning to the bigger Boeing 777, cut the autopilot on final approach into San Francisco, where the instrument landing system was out of service. Doing so

Summary: Financial details of the settlements remain confidential, says lawyer . The lawsuit included those passengers with the least serious injuries . Dozens more cases are still pending in Northern California federal courts .


BT Sport have chosen to broadcast the FA Cup quarter-final replay between Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool, leaving the BBC with Reading vs Bradford. The BBC were criticised for not showing Bradford's 2-0 win over Sunderland in the fifth round, opting to show Aston Villa's 2-1 win over Leicester City instead. Yet BT Sport's decision to broadcast the match at Ewood Park on April 8 means the Beeb are left with Reading and Bradford at the Madejski on March 16. Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck celebrates after scoring against former club Manchester United at Old Trafford . Fabian Delph shoots and scores as Aston Villa beat Midland rivals West Brom to reach Wembley on Saturday . League One side Bradford, who knocked Chelsea out earlier in the competition, face a replay against Reading . Bradford beat Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge in the fourth round but were shunned when they claimed another Barclays Premier League scalp against Sunderland in February. The broadcaster's football editor Mark Cole released a statement afterwards explaining why Bradford were not shown on television, though their match against Reading in the quarter-final at Valley Parade was live on BT Sport. The draw for the semi-finals was made following Manchester United's 2-1 loss against Arsenal at Old Trafford on Monday night. The match itself pulled in an audience of 8.9million which pips the previous season high of 7.1m people tuned in to Cambridge United's fourth round 0-0 draw against Louis van Gaal's side. Arsenal will face Bradford or Reading at Wembley, while Aston Villa will meet either Liverpool or Championship side Blackburn.

Fancy footwork: Kristina Rihanoff on Strictly Come Dancing . My husband is holding me in his arms, gazing fondly into my eyes and leading me across the floor in a series of sinuous moves that, quite frankly, I never imagined he could make. Such a moment never seemed possible because, like many women, I have been made a wallflower by a can’t-dance, won’t-dance partner. We never even had an opening waltz at our wedding 30-odd years ago. David, my husband, doesn’t so much as bop at parties. However, with the help of Strictly Come Dancing’s Kristina Rihanoff, we are getting the chance to take to the floor together – and in the process improve our fitness and our general mood, and even make our marriage healthier. Dressing up and taking your partner’s hand to dance à deux is catching on all over again, thanks to the huge success of the TV dance show. ‘Learning dance steps allows couples to enjoy the closeness of each other and creates a sense of trust as well as intimacy,’ says Kristina, who has partnered celebrities from newscaster John Sergeant to pop singer Simon Webbe on the TV show. ‘Some therapists suggest it as a form of marriage counselling. It allows men to lead and feel in charge again, and women to feel they are being taken care of by their partner. ‘Plus it releases endorphins as your heart rate goes up.’ And so I found myself relearning the essential 12 steps of salsa for the first time since I did the cha-cha-cha at Victor Sylvester’s Saturday morning ballroom classes for children, decades ago. Dancing was in my blood: my father danced his teens and 20s away and became an eight-times ballroom dancing champion. Kristina is giving David and me a taste of the weekend workshops she’s running at Champneys health spa over the next few months. But I find myself wondering how her students are going to cope with a class lasting three-quarters of an hour when we are knocked out after ten minutes of practice. ‘I feel like a robot,’ grumbles David, who has zero ballroom experience but bucks up when Kristina puts Santana on the sound system. He is musical – playing guitar – but his sense of rhythm does not extend to his feet, which Kristina says is surprisingly common. As for me, although I spent two years of my teens jiving in Soho discos, learning specific steps 40 years on is a discipline I’m finding taxing. It’s a more demanding workout, in fact, than anything I did on a brain-improvement programme I recently attended. ‘You need to focus absolutely,’ explains Kristina, who says the extreme attention needed to learn a sequence is good for improving mood as well as fitness. ‘When I started partnering Simon he was extremely down, but felt the dancing had a very positive effect. ‘Like yoga, ballroom dancing takes you out of yourself; you can’t think of anything else while you’re practising, so it takes you away from your everyday worries.’ Masterclass: Anthea dances with Kristina as David

Summary: Strictly Come Dancing’s Kristina Rihanoff says learning dance steps creates sense of trust as well as intimacy between couples . Some therapists even suggest dancing as a form of marriage counselling . This is because it allows men to lead and women to feel they are being taken care of, Kristina says .


An American health care worker who contracted Ebola while volunteering in a Sierra Leone treatment unit has been downgraded to critical condition at the National Institutes of Health, doctors said on Monday. The patient's status was changed from serious to critical condition, meaning the person's condition has apparently worsened. The patient is being treated at the National Institutes of Health's hospital near Washington, D.C. The patient was flown in isolation from Sierra Leone on a chartered plane last week and arrived early on Friday morning. The patient's name, age and gender have not been released. Scroll down for video . A health care worker prepares a colleague's Ebola virus protective gear at a clinic operated by the International Medical Corps in Makeni, Sierra Leone. Five people in the U.S. are now being monitored after being exposed to Ebola . The person is a clinician working with Partners in Health, a Boston-based nonprofit organization. The group has been treating patients in Liberia and Sierra Leone since November. This came as a second American health care worker who was possibly exposed to Ebola has been moved to Nebraska Medicine's biocontainment unit after a change in symptoms, the hospital said on Monday. The worker was one of four monitored in Nebraska after exposure to another American who tested positive for Ebola. The person who was moved has not tested positive for the virus, the hospital said. None of the patients has been identified. The hospital said it would receive a fifth person who was part of the initial exposure in Sierra Leone later on Monday. The latest NIH patient is the 11th person with Ebola to be treated in the U.S. Two patients in the U.S. have died: a man treated in Dallas after contracting the virus in Africa and a doctor evacuated from Africa to Nebraska when he was already critically ill. The man in Dallas had contracted the virus in his native Liberia. He transmitted the disease to two nurses, resulting in widespread concern in the U.S., with questions raised about emergency department screening of patients, monitoring of ill travelers from Africa and even disputes over the disposal of potentially infectious waste from hospitals. The World Health Organization has estimated the virus has killed more than 10,000 people, mostly in the West African nations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The current outbreak is the largest ever for the disease. While deaths have slowed dramatically in recent months, the virus appears stubbornly entrenched in parts of Guinea and Sierra Leone. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spokesman said that besides the patient at NIH, there are 11 other Partners in Health workers being brought to the United States for monitoring. That includes four going to Atlanta to be near Emory University Hospital; one arrived Friday. On Saturday, four health care workers arrived at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, and three arrived in the Washington area on Sunday to be near the NIH campus in Bethesda. One of those being monitored in Nebraska has developed symptoms of Ebola and was being moved

Summary: Ebola patient has been downgraded from serious to critical at the National Institutes of Health in DC . Second American who was possibly exposed to Ebola moved to Nebraska Medicine's biocontainment unit after change in symptoms .


If you're looking for the ultimate Easter egg-stravaganza, London's Studio Kitchen at K West Hotel have obliged, with a sweet treat inspired by one of our most popular chocolates. But if the thought of a Crème Egg Burger has your tastebuds recoiling at the horror of a meat patty slathered in crème egg filling, relax - this burger is made entirely from confectionery. And this Frankenstein food - created specially for Easter by chefs in the Studio Kitchen burger lab, K West Hotel & Spa in Shepherds Bush, West London - will be available throughout spring. Scroll down for video . The Crème Egg Burger is more sweet treat than meat feast, with chocolate covered brioche buns, a melted chocolate Crème Egg 'patty', plus strawberry jam filling and lashings of mascarpone cream . Sure to send sugar levels soaring, the mini slider burgers see a gooey melted crème egg playing the part of the patty, slathered in 'ketchup' made from strawberry jelly and sitting on a bed of thickly spread mascarpone cream. Then of course, there are the buns. Slices of sweet brioche, the top layer is dunked in melted white chocolate for a thorough coating, before being sprinkled with colourful hundreds and thousands. More sweet treat that meaty feast, the burgers have gone straight to the top of the Studio Kitchen dessert menu, priced at £5.50 for a portion of two. Served from the end of March 2015 and throughout spring in celebration of Easter, the burgers also appear in the hotel's decadent Spring Rocks Afternoon Tea. The Easter creation follows public outrage over the change in chocolate recipe for classic Cadbury's Crème Eggs. Changes to the classic Dairy Milk chocolate recipe used in Cadbury Crème Eggs sparked public outrage in January, as shoppers were told a sweeter 'standard cocoa mix chocolate' would be used instead this year . A spokesperson for Cadbury, bought by American giant Kraft in 2010, revealed back in January that the nation's favourite chocolate egg will no longer be coated in Dairy Milk. An official announcement stated, 'It’s no longer Dairy Milk. It is similar, but not exactly Dairy Milk.' Chefs at the Studio Kitchen aren't the first to turn Britain's best-loved Easter treat into a new concoction. In 2013 a flury of alcoholic cocktails appeared in bars and clubs, mixing the gooey centre and melted chocolate with spirits and liquor. While The Mint Bar at Ireland's Westin Dublin Hotel served a Creme Egg Cocktail, London's Jewel Bar in Piccadilly Circus mixed-up a chocolatey Creme Egg mojito, which contained almost 1,000 calories. In 2013 The Mint Bar at Dublin's Westin Dublin Hotel served the limited edition Creme Egg Cocktail, mixing vanilla infused Grey Goose Vodka and chocolate-bean flavoured Crème De Cacao, with white chocolate liqueur, cream and mini Cadbury Crème Eggs .

Summary: Crème Egg Burger has been created by chefs at London hotel 'burger lab' Filling swaps meat and cheese for melted chocolate, jelly and cream . Available from end of March the sweet burger is a limited edition creation .

A drunken woman was arrested after police say she forced her 7-year-old daughter to spend the night in a dumpster outside a spa in a crime-ridden section of Dallas. Alicia Carroll, of Garland, faces a charge of abandoning and endangering a child. The 28-year-old remained in Dallas County Jail Monday on $25,000 bond.

Bad parenting: Alicia Carroll, 28, has been charged with child endangerment after Dallas police say she made her daughter sleep alone in a dumpster . But according to police documents, the 7-year-old girl said her mother told her to 'hide' in the trash bin after the two exited the popular King Spa and Sauna on Royal Lane. Officers found the little girl 10 hours later after being flagged down by citizens who saw her looking filthy and barefoot. When she was interviewed by police, Miss Carroll said she had been drinking at the spa and at around 10pm stepped out to 'clear her head,' leaving her daughter inside with an acquaintance, reported Dallas Morning News. However, a King Spa worker told NBC 5 that the mother and daughter left the establishment together after attending a party with friends. When police finally caught up with the 7-year-old girl at around 11.15am Sunday, she told them that when she and her mother left the spa, Carroll suddenly took off running. The child claimed that Carroll told her they were being pursued by police and had to go into hiding. According to investigators, Carroll then placed her daughter in a garbage container in a 'high-crime' area and fled. The little girl eventually fell asleep amid refuse and woke up only 10 hours later. She was able to scramble out of the dumpster and began walking down Royal Lane towards the spa. Passersby spotted her on the street walking without shoes and called police.

Newcastle will be forced to use Daryl Janmaat as an emergency centre-back in their next three matches despite the Holland international admitting – ‘I’ve never played there in my life’. The Magpies have left themselves desperately short of defensive cover and, with Steven Taylor and Paul Dummett sidelined because of injury until the summer and skipper Fabricio Coloccini suspended, only Mike Williamson remains as a recognised central defender. Newcastle - who sold defenders Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Davide Santon in the January window - failed in their bid to overturn Coloccini’s red card from Sunday’s 3-0 defeat at Everton. Daryl Janmaat is set for a spell at centre back following the FA's decision to reject Fabricio Coloccini's appeal . The Argentine was dismissed following a lunge on Aaron Lennon and will now serve a three-game ban. That rules him out of the Tyne-Wear derby at Sunderland on Easter Sunday, as well as testing fixtures with Arsenal and Liverpool. It means right-back Janmaat is set to partner Williamson, but the 25-year-old said: ‘If the team needs me there, I am confident I can do well there, even though I have not played as a central defender in the whole of my career. The Newcastle captain (left) was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Aaron Lennon on Sunday . ‘I will play in the middle of the defence if I am asked to do so, although it is not really my position. ‘It is not really as though I have ambitions to stay there, but we all know what the situation is at the moment and if I have to play there, I will. ‘The second half at Everton was the first time I have played there so it is not something I know all that well.’ The Dutch international has been one of Newcastle's most consistent performers so far this season .

Summary: Daryl Janmaat set to play at centre back in place of Fabricio Coloccini . The Dutch international admits he's never played there before . Newcastle face Sunderland on April 5 in game which will test Janmaat . READ: Coloccini set to miss the next three games after appeal was rejected .

Clarke Carlisle previously threw himself in front of a lorry in a bid to take his own life, leaving him injured and the driver unable to get behind the wheel again . The lorry driver who struck former footballer Clarke Carlisle, who had thrown himself into the vehicle's path, has said he may never be able to drive an HGV again. Earlier this year the 35-year-old Premier League defender revealed how he had jumped in front of a lorry near his home on the A64, near York after battling severe depression. He was struck by Darren Pease who feared both would die after glass shattered following the crash, leaving them with cuts to their faces and the driver temporarily blinded. Mr Pease, 53, told the Daily Mirror: 'That feeling is indescribable - to think you are going to die. I don't think I'll ever be able to get behind the wheel of a lorry again. I can't see any way back for me at this point. I can't drive a car properly, never mind a wagon.' The lorry driver, who had been travelling to Driffield in east Yorkshire at the time of the crash, said he spent Christmas wondering if Carlisle, who has three children, was going to survive. Mr Pease said he now struggles to leave the house and has not been able to return to work. He added: 'All I could think was that I had killed someone. How am I going to live with this? What am I going to tell everybody? 'What do you say? It's unreal, the shock meant I couldn't stand or walk, I was in a wheelchair.' Mr Pease also struggles if images of Carlisle appear on the television and has to quickly switch it off. Carlisle was released from hospital last month, around six weeks after the accident on December 22. Scroll down for video . He said after he was released he realised he was unwell. He had been struggling after he was told by ITV he was losing his £100,000-a-year Champions League pundit role. Carlisle admitted he went straight to a casino and blew money he and his wife had saved, only hours later on December 20, to be charged with drink-driving. It was then that the former chairman of the Professional Footballers' Association decided that his children could not have a criminal father and he decided he wanted to die. Carlisle was recently released from hospital six weeks after he was injured in a collision with a lorry . After the accident Carlisle said he had 'overwhelming feelings of shame, guilt and embarrassment.' He was taken to hospital and suffered cuts, bruises, internal bleeding, a broken rib and a shattered left knee. He is now having counselling. Mr Pease has had to take sick leave from his £19,500-a-year job and is receiving treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Carlisle was the first player to win Countdown and in 2002 was awarded the title 'Britain's Brainiest Footballer' In 2011 he became the first footballer to appear on BBC's topical debate show Question Time

A body found in a car recovered from a Florida river has been confirmed as that of missing teacher Lisa Hayden-Gordon, 51 . Police have confirmed that a body found inside a car recovered from a Florida river is that of a missing piano teacher. Lisa Hayden-Gordon, 51, vanished on January 24 following a night out watching a concert with friends. Her body was recovered from a vehicle found submerged in the New River near Cooley's Landing Marina in Fort Lauderdale on Friday. It was a distinctive blue 2003 Hyundai Elantra that was decorated with stickers of the sun, moon and stars on its hood. Hayden-Gordon had gone out with a man she met online and several of her friends, and they attended a Keller Williams show at Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale. The group wanted to take her home because they thought she had had too much to drink, but she went to the restroom at a bar, the Poorhouse, and never returned. They looked for her but when they could not find her anywhere, they ended up leaving. A friend told CBS that people had seen Hayden walking away from a bar with her keys in her hand the night she went missing. 'Everybody who saw her that night said that she was so happy and having just a good time,' her sister Tara Cloe previously told the Sun Sentinel. 'She's always singing, she was probably singing the whole time during the concert. And then she left.' Discovery: The distinctive blue 2003 Hyundai Elantra, pictured, was found near a Fort Lauderdale marina on Friday morning - more than a month after Hayden-Gordon vanished during a night out with friends . Missed: Hayden-Gordon was known as 'Noodle' to her friends and students. Witnesses said they saw her walking away from a concert with her car keys . Friends had made tearful pleas for information about the woman they called 'Noodles', a nickname that stuck after she became addicted to the food while in hospital recovering from a car accident as a child. 'My sister would never leave us. And she's the most loving, outgoing, friendly person,' Susan O'Leary told the Sun Sentinel earlier. 'For her not to be here, be a part of our lives, I don't even know how to tell you what kinds of emotions you could have. We don't know what to do, where else to go, where else to turn.' Police said they are still investigating the cause of Ms Hayden-Gordon's death, according to Local10.com.

Summary: Body found inside vehicle that of 51-year-old Lisa Hayden-Gordon . She had vanished on January 24 after going to a concert with friends . Her body was recovered from a car submerged in the New River .


I can remember so clearly visiting the hospital to see Kell Brook the day after that horrific knife attack in Tenerife. As soon as I walked in I looked into his eyes and I knew exactly what he was thinking - is it all over? The wound was horrific, some 38 staples virtually holding his thigh together. I couldn’t believe it, only weeks before we had been celebrating the biggest moment of his career when he dethroned welterweight sensation Shawn Porter in his back yard to capture the IBF welterweight title. Suddenly we are sitting there waiting to find out if he would ever be able to enter a ring again. The doctor’s analysis wasn’t great - she said with the right rehab there was a decent chance he could fight again but he would not be able to perform in the same way in and out of the ring. She couldn’t have been more wrong. Kell Brook performs at a media workout ahead of the first defence of his world title against Jo Jo Dan . Brook at home shortly after he was stabbed (left) and showing his scar (right) on the week of his fight . Over the last few months Kell Brook has shown the heart of a lion. No one really gets to see the struggle he went through - dressing the wound, struggling to walk at first, the endless hours of rehab and massage and this is all before the camp got underway. What we have now, just days away from the first defence of his IBF welterweight title is an elite level fighter, someone who I believe can go on and unify the 147lb division and someone who is in devastating form, ready to make a statement to the world in front of his home fans. Saturday in Sheffield is going to be an emotional night. No one has taken Jo Jo Dan for granted - he has earned the right to challenge Kell as the No 1 and mandatory challenger - a position Kell was in not so long ago. He is confident and full of hope to become world champion but he has a wounded lion in front of him who is ready to bite. It will be an awkward fight. Jo Jo is a southpaw who comes on strong late in fights. Another challenge for Kell will be handling the emotions of the situation in front of 10,000 people. But I believe in Kell. I think he has to impose himself early and I suspect he’ll produce a devastating performance with a stoppage somewhere in the middle rounds. We’ll see. Dan has earned his shot at Brook after becoming the mandatory challenger for his IBF world title . There are some huge plans ahead for Kell Brook but for now it’s all about Saturday. Live on Sky Sports and live on Showtime in the US - finally he gets his chance to get his big homecoming. It’s going to be some night. Fight fans can tune into a packed bill from 7.30pm -

Summary: People haven't seen how much Kell Brook has had to suffer . I back him to beat Jo Jo Dan by stoppage in the middle rounds . I will meet Team Frampton on Wednesday to discuss Scott Quigg fight . James DeGale-Andre Dirrell will likely be in May on US east coast . It will take more than a fractured back to stop Anthony Joshua . He has looked vicious in sparring ahead of his return next weekend .

The court was told that Carlisle had been involved in excess-drinking offences in 1999 and 2011. Krystelle Wass, defending, told the court: 'Two days after the incident Mr Carlisle attempted suicide, which is why matters have taken some time to come to court.' She said there were 'ongoing mental health issues'. The deputy district judge replied that she would order reports ahead of the next hearing as 'he is clearly in some trouble'. The deputy district judge told Carlisle that he would get credit for his early guilty plea but noted that he has a 'bad record'.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is under no illusions about the potential repercussions of Monday night’s visit to Old Trafford. Any clash against Manchester United, particularly in the Wenger era, carries added value for the Gunners. The fact that it is an FA Cup quarter-final with a place at Wembley at stake merely adds to the occasion. And for Wenger it’s a chance to land what could be a crucial psychological blow on Louis van Gaal’s side ahead of the tense season finale. Theo Walcott holds off Nacho Monreal as Arsenal trained on Sunday at their London Colney training ground . Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain lets fly with a shot, as Arsene Wenger promised his team would attack United . The Gunners squad are put through their paces as they look to reach Wembley for the third time in two years . Arsene Wenger is confident his team can beat Manchester United by playing attacking football . The FA Cup isn’t the only competition in which these two giants are going toe to toe. They are also battling for a Champions League position, a race which is perhaps more pertinent to both clubs’ long-term ambitions. There are no points at stake tonight but Wenger said: ‘It’s a big game, and every big win in a big game has an impact subconsciously in the belief of the team.’ However, the reverse is also true. Losing against United could plant a seed of doubt in Arsenal’s quest to finish in the top four — and their poor recent record at Old Trafford doesn’t bode well. United have won nine out of their last 10 home games against the Gunners. We shouldn’t forget, though, that Wenger also has pleasant memories of the Theatre of Dreams. He lists Sylvain Wiltord’s goal that clinched the title for Arsenal at Old Trafford in 2002 as his favourite. And the Frenchman insists his current crop of players can produce another win in United’s back yard on Monday night. Arsenal's World Cup winning playmaker Mesut Ozil has been in top form since returning from injury . Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez, who scored a brilliant goal in midweek against QPR, looks lively in training . Per Mertesacker, whose place was in doubt before an injury to Gabriel, gestures to his team-mates . ‘I don’t believe our recent record at Old Trafford (to be a factor). When the team is less good, they lose. When the team is not as good, they lose,’ said Wenger. ‘It doesn’t matter what shirt they wear, or what stadium they play in. It is down to quality. ‘If I’ve learnt something in my life it’s that the performance on the day decides the outcome of the day, not where you play. ‘The fact that we can win away from home, that is important. If you haven’t won away from home all season it’s more difficult. But we know we can do well away from home.’ Tomas Rosicky attempts to control the ball as Walcott, Mertesacker and Ramsey watch on . Indeed, their victory over Manchester City at the Etihad

Summary: Arsenal face Manchester United in the FA Cup sixth-round on Monday . Arsenal and United are also competing for a Champions League place . United have won nine out of their last 10 home games against the Gunners . Arsene Wenger lists Sylvain Wiltord’s goal at Old Trafford in 2002 that clinched the league title for the Gunners as his favourite .

Wales manager Chris Coleman has noticed no difference in Gareth Bale's mood ahead of his side's huge Euro 2016 qualifier in Israel and believes the Real Madrid superstar is ready to perform. Bale has had to endure a rough ride in Spain of late, with his worth to Real being questioned by both fans and the powerful Madrid media. The world's most expensive player has been booed by his own supporters and had his car attacked outside the club's training ground following last weekend's Clasico defeat to bitter rivals Barcelona. Wales captain Ashley Williams (left) shares a joke with Gareth Bale (right) in training on Friday . But Coleman insists Bale remains relaxed around the Wales camp and the thought of him having a conversation with the forward about his club situation has not even entered his head. 'I cannot see any difference in Baley at all,' Coleman said on the eve of Group B's top two sides meeting in Haifa on Saturday night. 'If I thought it was bothering him, and we're all human beings so I know it can bother you from time to time and you can get a bit down, and it was a problem then I would have sat down with him and had that conversation. Wales boss Chris Coleman is adamant his side can cope with a hostile atmosphere in Haifa on Saturday . Real Madrid star Gareth Bale , who has received harsh criticism in recent weeks, appears relaxed in training . 'But we have not mentioned Real Madrid, we have only talked about Wales, Israel and the job in hand. 'He is happy, relaxed and more importantly he is fit and ready to play.' Bale has been singled out for some rough treatment in the group so far, most noticeably from Cyprus last October, and the 25-year-old could be a marked man again on a night where a hostile atmosphere is expected as group leaders Israel defend their unblemished record against second-placed Wales. Israel coach Eli Guttman insists his side do not have players 'strong enough to kick Bale out of the game' but Coleman remains philosophical about the treatment his star man could receive at the Sammy Ofer Stadium. Aaron Ramsey (left) and Bale (right) watch on as Wales defender James Collins holds possession . 'We cannot come back without anything,' Coleman said. 'That is not the stage we are at. We know what we are up against and they will know that about us. 'Their game against Belgium on Tuesday will not exist for them, they are only thinking about us and that is not our business. Bale holds off his team-mates in training as Wales hope to maintain their unbeaten start in Group B . 'It is up to Israel to do what they want to do,' Coleman said. 'Israel have to do what they have to do to get a result, as do we. But the attention is nothing new for Gareth. 'He has played most of his football in the Premier League and that is the most physically demanding

Mr Smith, a former product manager, said some people could not understand why they would spend their money on cuddly toys. ‘Our friends think we have more money than sense, but we love our bears so much,' he said. ‘We’ve had to move just to fit them all in. In our previous place it was getting to be a tight squeeze but it’s less cluttered now. ‘We’ve unpacked them all and they seem to be loving their new home. ‘One of the hardest things about moving house was having to pack them all into plastic bags. We felt awful doing it, it just didn’t feel right.’ The couple, who don’t have any children, began collecting teddy bears in 1991 following the death of their pet golden Labrador, Biffer. Huw sits among a plethora of bears in one of the bedrooms at his home . They name and photograph each one and record when and where it was purchased in a detailed computerised log book. In October they decided to move from their three-bedroom terraced home in St Albans, Hertforshire, to a larger house in Lancaster to accommodate their massive brood of soft toys. They have so many that every room of their new property is filled with different types of bears. ‘While we had the dog we couldn’t really start collecting the bears as he would have had them,’ said 60-year-old Mr Smith.

Gifts from friends and family, places we visit, holidays abroad, markets, auction houses and the high street. ‘They are a real mixed bag and are all very unique. We have some that cost a couple of pounds from charity shops to others worth a few hundred. ‘The most expensive is Steve, he was bought for my wife as a present when she worked

An investigation has been launched after an Army platoon was accused of racially abusing its own soldiers in an event known as 'Racial Thursdays'. The sickening tradition allegedly has been taking place among soldiers in the 2nd Platoon, C Company, 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. The Army Times first reported on the racist behavior after several soldiers, who wished to remain anonymous, came forward. One staff sergeant, who is black, told the newspaper this week: 'When I first got to my unit, someone said we should do ''Racial Thursdays'' because it's been a tradition. 'It's something they made up where you can say any racist remark you want without any consequences. The platoon sergeant said no, but the s*** is still going on.' A platoon based at Fort Wainwright in Alaska (pictured) has been placed under investigation after it emerged that they were holding 'Racial Thursdays' - when any racist remark was allowed without consequence. Another soldier of lower rank verified the story but also asked to remain anonymous. He said that a Latino colleague was badgered with racial slurs for hours until he almost got into a fight with another soldier. 'Racial Thursdays' were reportedly taking place at the same unit in Alaska where Pvt Danny Chen (pictured) once belonged. The solider, 19, committed suicide in 2011 after what investigators said was weeks of abuse and racial slurs . The platoon leader allegedly encouraged the practice 'to build morale and camaraderie', The Army Times reported. 'Racial Thursdays' have allegedly been taking place at the same unit where Private Danny Chen once belonged, The Army Times reported. The 19-year-old infantryman from New York City shot himself in a guard tower in southern Afghanistan in October 2011 after what investigators described as weeks of physical abuse, humiliation and racial slurs. The young soldier endured attacks on a daily basis for six weeks from fellow soliders who singled him out for being Chinese-American. He was taunted with the slurs 'gook', 'chink' and 'dragon lady', according to reports, beaten and put on excessive guard duty to the point of exhaustion. The day of his death he was made to crawl 100 yards over gravel carrying equipment while rocks were thrown at him by fellow soldiers. In December 2011, the Army charged eight soldiers with various crimes relating to Chen's death. Four soldiers were ultimately court-martialed. In a statement to Daily Mail Online, the U.S. Army in Alaska said: 'We are already aware of these allegations, as an informal complaint was made through command channels about this alleged behavior. The command has assigned an investigating officer and the investigation is ongoing. The command is extremely sensitive to any complaints that involve equal opportunity or discrimination and will investigate every allegation. 'It's important to emphasize that these allegations are just that. They're allegations, and that's what the investigation has been assigned to find out, exactly what happened and if anything happened. 'Based on the results of that inquiry, and if the evidence supports it, the commander, usually the brigade commander, can elect to
