'This greeting has been expressed by at least 10 different Airmen ranging in rank from A1C to SSgt.

When it comes to living on Mars, there’s one major problem that will affect future astronauts: oxygen, or rather, a lack thereof. But an instrument called Moxie - the Mars Oxygen In-situ Resource Utilisation Experiment - could provide a solution. It will attempt to turn carbon dioxide on Mars into oxygen when it is taken to the red planet by a new Nasa rover in 2020 - and it could be a precursor to similar technologies on manned misisons. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is creating an instrument for Mars. Called Moxie (shown here in this illustration) it will attempt to turn the planet's carbon dioxide into oxygen. It will be taken to the red planet by a new unnamed Nasa rover in 2020 . Speaking to Business Insider, former astronaut and principle investigator for the instrument Dr Jeffrey Hoffman explained the project. ‘It will be the first time when we will actually produce oxygen on the surface of Mars,’ he said. This next-gen vehicle is the successor to the Curiosity rover, with upgraded hardware and instruments to examine Mars' rocks. The rover will assess the potential of the environment for humans to live in one day and search for signs of Martian life. It will identify and collect a collection of rock and soil samples, which it will be able to send back to Earth intact, via another spacecraft one day in the future. Dr Charles Elachi, director of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has previously said that collecting a rock sample and bringing it back to Earth is Nasa's top priority. Scientists are particularly interested in the samples so they can understand the hazards posed by Martian dust and demonstrate how oxygen can be created - details important to consider for human missions to Mars and the future colonisation of the planet. The rover marks the next major step in fulfilling President Obama's challenge of sending humans to Mars in the 2030s. The atmosphere of Mars is 96 per cent carbon dioxide and less than 0.2 per cent oxygen, but the team hope to convert the former into 99.6 per cent pure oxygen. To do so, it gathers carbon dioxide from its surroundings and isolates oxygen atoms, then combines them to make O2 - breathable air. On this occasion, together with the by-product of carbon monoxide, the gases will be released back into the air. But proving the technology works would have important implications for future missions - and not just for breathable air, but fuel as well. ‘Ultimately, the idea is that Nasa would send both an empty rocket and a larger version of Moxie to Mars, before a planned human mission,’ writes Jessica Orwig for Business Insider. ‘The oxygen-producing machine would take about a year and a half to fill the rocket with enough liquid oxygen for lift off. ‘Then, when astronauts arrived, they would have a rocket fueled up and ready for launch to take them home.’ Nasa’s Mars 2020 rover is a planned £1.2 billion ($1.9 billion) roving laboratory, similar to the Mars Curiosity rover currently on

Summary: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is creating a Mars instrument . Called Moxie it will attempt to turn the planet's carbon dioxide into oxygen . It will be taken to the red planet by a new Nasa rover in 2020 . The atmosphere of Mars is 96% carbon dioxide and less than 0.2% oxygen .

Few people expect Manchester City to go to Barcelona and overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. But here's 10 good reasons Manuel Pellegrini's men should travel in hope... 1 - CHELSEA PROVED MIRACLES CAN HAPPEN . Chelsea were 2-1 down on aggregate to Barcelona and down to only 10 men in their second leg at the Nou Camp in 2012 – and still went through. Goals from Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta put Barca in control even before John Terry was sent off. Then, incredibly, Ramires scored on the stroke of half-time and after surviving immense pressure, Fernando Torres scored to book Chelsea's place in the final, which they went on to win. Chelsea sealed a place in the 2012 Champions League final by drawing 2-2 with Barcelona at the Nou Camp . 2 - PELLEGRINI CAN TAP INTO MALAGA . Barcelona lost their last game at the Nou Camp on February 21 to Malaga, the team that Manuel Pellegrini managed between 2010 and 2013. Pellegrini will be able to get all the inside info on how they did it and also used to work with the winning goalscorer, Juanmi. If Juanmi can slay Barcelona, there's not reason why Sergio Aguero can't follow suit. 3 - NO REASON TO FEAR . City captain Vincent Kompany knows what it feels like to score at the Nou Camp, Joe Hart saved a penalty from Lionel Messi three weeks ago and Yaya Toure won the Champions League with Barca alongside the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique. While the rest of the world regard Barca's players as demi-gods, City have been up against them before and shown they are human, or played with them. Joe Hart saved a late Lionel Messi penalty to keep his side in with a chance of progressing to the next round . 4 - EL CLASICO AWAITS . Coach Luis Enrique won't be thanking La Liga for the way they've worked out their fixture list because an even bigger match lies in store on Sunday when Barca meet Real Madrid in a potential title decider. The temptation not to play at 100 per cent against City will be there particularly as they already hold a 2-1 advantage from the first leg. It will be up to Pellegrini's side to take advantage if the Barca players have half an eye on the weekend. Barcelona boss Luis Enrique will have one eye on his side's upcoming match against Real Madrid . 5 - CITY BEST IN ADVERSITY . If there is one thing Manchester City have proved in recent times it's that they should never be written off. They were eight points behind Manchester United with six games to play in 2012 – and won the title. In 2014, they were three points behind Liverpool with three to play, and again came out on top. Most significantly, they have shown 'bouncebackability' in Europe too. They qualified from the group stages despite taking two points from their opening

Summary: Manchester City face Barcelona at the Nou Camp in Champions League . Manuel Pellegrini's must overturn a 2-1 deficit to qualify for next round . Manchester City have to score at least two goals . City ace Yaya Toure can face his former side after serving suspension . READ: Pellegrini on knife edge as he attempts to save Man City's season .

Former US representative Anthony Weiner was spotted taking his son for a quick stroll amid claims his wife has been caught up in the Hillary Clinton email scandal. The 50-year-old house husband was seen pushing three-year-old Jordan on the swings at a playground near to his house in downtown Manhattan yesterday. The pair later rushed across town to get pizza. Former US representative Anthony Weiner was spotted taking his son for a quick stroll near his downtown Manhattan home yesterday. They were seen enjoying themselves amid claims Weiner's wife has been caught up in the Hillary Clinton email scandal . They were spotted enjoying themselves as Weiner's wife Huma Abedin faces scrutiny about using a private email account. Abedin is one of three top Clinton aides who reportedly used email addresses hosted on the former secretary of state's private server. Senior figures in Congress were already investigating Clinton's communications from 2009-13, which they say were not conducted via official State Department accounts but a 'clintonemail.com' address. Clinton has handed over 55,000 pages of communications from the time - but admitted on Tuesday during a news conference that she deleted more than 30,000 emails she decided were personal in nature and unrelated to her job. The 50-year-old house husband made sure he pushed three-year-old Jordan high on the swings before the pair ran off to get pizza . The investigation has now widened after it emerged that one of Abedin's email addresses is Huma@clintonemail.com, showing that she could have also been using the server to conduct official business. Daily Mail Online confirmed the address through Lexis-Nexis, a commercial service that compiles public records. It comes nearly four years after Weiner's own scandal where he resigned from Congress for sending sexually suggestive photographs of himself via his public Twitter account to other women. Longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin had an email address on the former secretary of state's private server, judging from records maintained by Lexis-Nexis . Abedin (left), shown with then-Secretary of State Clinton during a 2010 diplomatic meeting in Vietnam, was her deputy chief of staff and is expected to play a key roll if Clinton runs for president . At the time he admitted that he had sent images to six women in three years and said that he had stopped. But in 2013 further claims were made that he sent more under the alias 'Carlos Danger' to a 22-year-old woman. He tried to return to politics by taking part in the 2013 New York Mayoral race but lost after receiving less than five per cent of votes.

Summary: Weiner pushed three-year-old Jordan to park in Manhattan yesterday . Clinton still being scrutinized for using a private server for foreign policy . His wife used a clintonemail.com address, public records on Nexis show . Comes nearly four years after 50-year-old Weiner's own sexting scandal .

A fraud gang duped investors into buying diamonds for twenty times their value before using the £1.5m profit to fund lavish shopping sprees in Selfridges, Louis Vuitton and Harrods, a court has heard. Victims were allegedly lured into the 'boiler room' scam by 'persistent and persuasive' salesmen who told them the limited coloured stones would pay handsome returns because they were from mines which were closed or closing. But those involved had allegedly valued the yellow diamonds at more than 2000 per cent their worth, Southwark Crown Court heard. Rommell Brown, 31, (left) and Anna Foord, 20, (right) are among the two defendants accused of orchestrating a 'boiler room' scam by allegedly persuading investors to buy coloured diamonds at twenty times their value . The bank accounts for the two companies through which the sales were made were also haemorrhaging cash on luxury goods, the court heard. More than £2,000 was splurged in Hugo Boss, while £2,100 was spent in Louis Vuitton. It also showed that £7,685 was spent in Selfridges and £1,240 in exclusive department store Harrods. Nearly £3,000 was blown in a New York department store in a single day, the court heard. Rommell Brown, 31, Billy Cosma, 23, Anna Foord, 30, Anton Howell, 28, and Farouq Eshpari, 55, all from London or the south east, are standing trial but deny conspiracy to defraud. Farouq’s sons Omar Eshpari, 34, and Hider Esphari, 28, have admitted conspiracy to defraud while wife Safia Eshpari, 52, admitted concealing, disguising and removing criminal property. Prosecutor Esther Schutzer-Weissman said investors racked up £1.5m losses after paying for precious gems through Evolution Commodities Limited and Stonehouse Global Markets Limited. She told the jury: ‘It was a stone to be used as an asset for investment. The caller was persuasive, the caller was persistent and always suggesting to the investor that purchasing coloured diamonds was an investment that would get good and reliable returns. ‘They were told often that diamonds would be scarcer and rarer and therefore more valuable because a mine, or mines, were closing or had closed. Billy Cosma, 23 (left) is also accused of conspiracy to defraud. Hider Esphari, 28 (right) admitted the charge at Southwark Crown Court . ‘They were told this was a limited time opportunity and they were told that the investment was guaranteed to provide a good return, depending of course on how long the diamond was kept before selling on. ‘Calls would be followed by letters that provided more concrete information about the investment prospect of the stones.’ She told the court how a certificate was sent for each purchased diamond, giving details of clarity and cut. But, crucially, the certificate did not include the value, the court heard. Many clients also took up the offer of free storage from the company, said Ms Schutzer-Weissman. The bank accounts for the companies showed more than £1,240 was spent in exclusive London department store Harrods (pictured) The court was told how one investor allegedly duped the by scam was telephoned by Hider Eshpari. Using an alias, he told him it was

Tony Pulis has called for a rule change to allow for clubs to appeal yellow card decisions after Claudio Yacob was harshly sent off in West Bromwich Albion’s defeat to Aston Villa. The Argentine midfielder was dismissed for a second bookable offence after making a small jump into a tackle with Leandro Bacuna but winning the ball cleanly.

Elvis Presley had one; so did Clark Gable. It was even the sedan of presidents. Then the name vanished amid an invasion of newer luxury cars from Europe and Asia. Now, the Lincoln Continental is back. Thirteen years after the last Continental rolled off the assembly line, Ford Motor Co. is resurrecting its storied nameplate. The new Continental debuts in concept form at this week's New York auto show. The production version of the full-size sedan goes on sale next year. Scroll down for video . Design: The emblem is illuminated along with the front headlamps on a Lincoln Continental concept car at the New York International Auto Show at the Javits Center on Monday .

After more than a decade of toying with alphabetical names like LS and MKS to be more like its foreign rivals, Ford's 98-year-old Lincoln brand is embracing its heritage. It's a measure of the growing confidence at Lincoln, which is finally turning around a decades-long sales decline. And it's a nod to the importance of China, where customers know the Continental name and appreciate brands with a rich history. Ford CEO Mark Fields says the Continental always represented the best of Lincoln. Resurrecting it sets higher expectations, both within the company and outside of it. 'When we get a chance to work on an iconic nameplate like that, it's a mixture of pride and a mixture of fear, because when you put that name out there, it's got to deliver,' Fields told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

This is the sickening moment a youth team footballer knocks out his opponent on the pitch. With the ball long gone, the shocking footage shows the Morecambe U18s striker appearing to launch his right fist into the temple of unaware Oldham Under 18s starlet Jack Tuohy. The sucker punch – creating a disturbing audible moment of impact - sends Tuohy, who had his back turned, crashing to the turf and seemingly unconscious. VIDEO: Scroll down to watch the sickening punch that knocks out Oldham youngster . Jack Touhy is struck from behind in the head, apparently with no provocation, by an opponenent . The Oldham youth player is knocked from his feet as he is knocked out by the punch . Tuohy later went to hospital after beginning to feel sick while his opponent was shown the red card for his staggering act of violence. The dramatic clip was taken during the second-half of Oldham's 7-2 victory over Morecambe at the club's Chapel Road Training Ground on Saturday. One witness said: 'It was Morecambe's number nine who lost it. Minutes earlier he had elbowed one of the Oldham lads in the face. The ref didn't see it and Oldham took the player off because he was bleeding and he had lost it. 'Then the ball has gone and the same lad just whacks another Oldham player in the face as he has his back turned and is running away. The striker had reportedly also elbowed an opponent just a few moments before . The Morecambe No 9 keeps running past the young Oldham star as if nothing had happened . 'In years and years of watching football I have never seen anything like it.' The witness added: 'I don't think the ref saw this one either but the Oldham players came running over and the linesman ran onto the pitch. 'He then sent the Morecambe lad off.' Oldham declined to comment on the incident but Sportsmail understands Tuohy was sent home after being checked over at hospital later on Saturday. After the game he tweeted: 'Good 7-2 win good to get a goal and head is killing me now wow.' A Morecambe statement read: ‘We have been made aware of an incident that occurred in a youth team game against Oldham and will hold our own enquiries into the matter over the next few days.’

Angel di Maria says Manchester United are '100 per cent confident' that they will cement a top four place come the end of the season. United travel to arch-rivals Liverpool on Sunday afternoon - in a match that could prove decisive in the race for a Champions League spot. Di Maria is available once more for the Red Devils after serving a one-game suspension following his red card in their 2-1 FA Cup loss at home to Arsenal on March 9. Angel di Maria says Manchester United are '100 per cent confident' that they will cement a top four place . The 27-year-old missed United's 3-0 win over Tottenham as a result on March 15 - a fixture that started a run of tricky results for Louis van Gaal's men. United's match with Liverpool is swiftly followed by fixtures against Manchester City and Chelsea in April, as well as another encounter with Arsenal in the penultimate game of the season in May. And despite the daunting fixture list, Di Maria insists he and his team-mates will ensure that an indifferent campaign will end on a high. Despite a bright start, Di Maria has struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford since his move from Madrid . Wayne Rooney and his United team-mates train ahead of the Premier League clash against Liverpool . 'We are all aware that a number of big games are just around the corner, and the season will be decided by these fixtures,' Angel explained in a recent interview in United Review, Old Trafford's matchday programme. 'We know all about these upcoming games and we have been thinking and talking about them for quite some time now. We've known that everything would be at stake over this final period of the season. 'Everyone at the club is 100 per cent confident, we know we want to get back into the Champions League and that we want to be fighting it out. We'll battle hard right to the end of the season. From what I know of the club, United always fight right to the end and that's what we're going to do.' Rooney celebrates his goal during United's impressive 3-0 win against Tottenham last weekend .

At least 52 dogs have died after being struck down by an horrific kidney disease, vets have warned. In the first recorded outbreak of Alabama rot to be reported in Britain, dogs have fallen ill and died up and down the country. Pet owners are warned to look out for lesions on their dogs' legs as vets continue to search for the cause of the disease. The disease was unknown in this country until November 2012, when reports started emerging of dogs dying mysteriously in the New Forest, Hampshire . Outbreaks of Alabama rot, which attacks blood vessels in the skin and kidneys, have affected dogs in the US as long ago as the 1980s. But the disease was unknown in this country until November 2012, when reports started emerging of dogs dying mysteriously in the New Forest, Hampshire. The results of an investigation into the outbreak, published last night in the journal Veterinary Record, reveal the full horror of the disease. Although the initial cases were reported in Hampshire, incidents have since been confirmed across England and Wales, from Somerset in the South West to County Durham in the North East. Unlike the US cases, which have only affected greyhounds, the British outbreak has caused problems to a wide variety of different breeds. It has affected English springer spaniels, flat coated retrievers, whippets, Labradors - dogs of all shapes and sizes from a cocker spaniel to a Doberman. There have been 103 suspected incidents reported by vets, lead researcher David Walker told the Daily Mail last night, although only 52 of those have been confirmed by postmortem examinations. All those dogs died - either killed by the disease or put down by their vets. Unlike the US cases, which have only affected greyhounds, the British outbreak has caused problems to a wide variety of different breeds, including this retriever Erin who died from the disease . Mr Walker, a vet who practises in Hampshire, said the team's investigation had not established why the disease had so suddenly sprung up, how it had arrived in Britain, or why certain dogs had been affected. But he warned pet owners to remain alert to symptoms. 'The main message is that we are still seeing cases spring up. Although the numbers are relatively small, continued vigilance is the best thing. People should look out for skin lesions when the dog hasn't obviously been cut on something.' He admitted much remains unknown about the problem. 'We don't know whether this is a condition that has been in the UK for a while, but just was unrecognised, or whether it had recently emerged,' he said. One of the many dogs struck down the disease was Tegan, a three-year-old fox terrier cross, who died in February 2014 after walking near Ashurst in the New Forest. The scientists are still investigating whether the disease was caused by environmental factors such as a bacteria or virus, or whether the problem was genetic - this spaniel, Jess, died of the disease . Her owner Sarah Thairs, of North Baddesley, Hampshire, took

Summary: At least 52 dogs have died after being struck down by Alabama rot . Disease, unknown in UK till 2012, attacks blood vessels in skin and kidneys . Known to affect dogs in the US but only occasionally seen outside country .


Bump on the head or not, Fernando Alonso is the same wily maverick he always was. This most brilliant yet political of drivers, who is apt to spell the word team with the pronoun ‘I’, delivered his disloyal lines here yesterday quietly, courteously and devastatingly. A steering problem, he told a press conference before Sunday’s Malaysian Grand Prix, was the cause of the McLaren driver’s apparently innocuous accident during pre-season testing in Barcelona last month. Just one thing: McLaren repeatedly said there was nothing wrong with their car. Calling on every conceivable bit of tele-metry, they compiled a 37-page report, which they presented to the FIA, substantiating that view. Fernando Alonso stands in front of the world's press as he poses for the cameras ahead of Sunday's race . The Spaniard is back in action this weekend after missing the season-opening Australian Grand Prix . Alonso has claimed his steering wheel locked which caused his pre-season testing crash in Barcelona . ‘The steering problem came in the middle of turn three,’ elaborated Alonso, who missed the opening race in Melbourne as he recovered from the crash that threatened his career. ‘It locked into the right and when I approached the wall I braked at the last moment, I downshifted from fifth to third, and unfortunately we are still missing some data.’ How routine steering data would not be readily available baffled most observers, including a host of former drivers. ‘I’ve listened to Alonso’s very clear explanation of the incident,’ said broadcaster Martin Brundle, who drove in 158 grands prix. ‘Now I’m really confused.’ One of the FIA’s most senior technical officials commended McLaren’s report as honest and robust. Why, then, would the Spaniard blame a steering problem when there is apparently no supporting evidence? Alonso is set for his second McLaren debut after he left the team at the end of the 2007 campaign . The Spaniard was in good spirits as he addressed the media in Sepang after being declared fit to race . The two most obvious reasons are that he was either too proud to admit he made an error, or a possible neurological glitch caused him to black out prior to hitting the wall (even though he was changing gears, he may have been semi-conscious as he did so). It appears he did not mention any steering problem to McLaren until last week - three weeks after the accident. They then smuggled a quotation from him citing this explanation into the middle of a press release on Monday, perhaps to appease him. What they did not expect was Alonso to make such a fuss about the issue when he spoke in the Sepang paddock. That left McLaren snookered. They could not disregard their meticulous data, nor could they publicly argue with their £25million-a-year driver - relations between the team and Alonso still have not entirely recovered from the fractious year he spent at McLaren in 2007. Alonso barely speaks to Ron Dennis, the McLaren chairman. His relationship with the de facto team principal Eric Boullier, who was not

Summary: Fernando Alonso has spoken out for first time since crash in Barcelona . He sustained concussion and was ruled out of season opener in Australia . But Spaniard has been declared fit for this weekend's race in Malaysia . Alonso claims steering wheel failure caused his pre-season testing crash . And he denied reports in Spanish media he 'woke up in 1995'


Juan Mata struck twice for Manchester United as Liverpool were dealt a major blow to their top-four hopes and captain Steven Gerrard was sensationally sent off within seconds of coming on. Ander Herrera's through ball found Mata on 14 minutes for the opener as Louis van Gaal's side got off to the perfect start. Brendan Rodgers brought on the experience and leadership of his captain Gerrard for the second half, but in less than a minute he was soon walking off in disgrace after a stamp on Ander Herrera. Star man Juan Mata celebrates his spectacular second goal in Manchester United's 2-1 win over Liverpool . Mata scored a brilliant second in the 59th minute as he met Angel di Maria's chip into the box with a horizontal volley perfectly buried at the far post, giving Simon Mignolet no chance. Daniel Sturridge weighed in with an opportunistic finish that gave Liverpool hope but wasn't enough to prevent United securing a five-point gap between the rivals either side of the Champions League qualification places. Sportsmail's Chris Wheeler was at Anfield to assess all the players' performances. Phil Jones posted a picture with Mata to Twitter and said: 'Great result today! This man was unbelievable!' LIVERPOOL (4-3-4) SIMON MIGNOLET - 6.5 . Unlucky not to keep out Mata’s first goal but had absolutely no chance with the second. Brilliant penalty save from Wayne Rooney in stoppage time. Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet almost saves Mata's right-footed strike that put the Reds behind 1-0 . EMRE CAN - 6 . Had his hands full with Fellaini in the first half. Guilty of bringing down Blind for the late penalty. MARTIN SKRTEL - 6 . Coped well with Rooney on the whole. Frustration got the better of him when he was involved in a tussle with De Gea at the final whistle. Emre Can (left) dealt with Marouane Fellaini in the first half but fouled Daley Blind (right) for the penalty . MAMADOU SAKHO - 6.5 . Not always the most composed of defenders, but fought until the end and gave very little away. ADAM LALLANA - 5 . Wasted Liverpool’s best chance of the match after being on the receiving end of a crunching challenge from Jones, and replaced by Gerrard at half-time. Liverpool's Adam Lallana fails to hit the target with his side's best first-half chance at Anfield . JOE ALLEN - 5 . Gave away possession cheaply on several occasions and was booked for trying to win it back from Herrera. JORDAN HENDERSON - 6.5 . Battled to keep his side in the game after Gerrard’s red card. Unlucky not to connect with Moreno’s cross in the first half. ALBERTO MORENO - 5 . Slack pass early on set the tone for his performance. Spaniard was caught out of position when Mata fired United ahead. Liverpool's stand-in captain Jordan Henderson holds off Fellaini during a spirited midfield battle . RAHEEM STERLING - 5 . Very subdued indeed. Much was expected of the England star but he failed to deliver after De Gea saved at

Summary: Juan Mata stars with 8/10 after two goals in Manchester United's win . Steven Gerrard was sent off straight after coming on and rates 1/10 . Philippe Coutinho was Liverpool’s best with 7 and set up their goal . Daley Blind, Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera all got 7 for United . Fourth-placed United went five points clear of Liverpool after victory .


Diafra Sakho has had no trouble finding the net for West Ham this season, and that continued on the Hammers' mid-season break to Dubai. Unfortunately for the Senegalese striker, it was on the tennis court as he took some time away from the sport he knows best. West Ham fans will be relieved to find that Sakho is unlikely to quit his day job for a place on the ATP World Tour any time soon... that's if his Instagram video is anything to go by. Diafra Sakho takes on Chelsea's Gary Cahill during West Ham's last Premier League game, on Wednesday . The east London side have headed to warmer climes to enjoy their week off from Premier League action as attention turns to the FA Cup. Sam Allardyce's men were knocked out by West Brom in the fifth round, and will not take to the field again until they face Arsenal next weekend. While the Southampton squad headed to the slopes in snowy Switzerland, West Ham opted for something warmer; the 30 degree heat of the United Arab Emirates. Sakho has scored 11 goals for the Hammers so far this season; nine of which in the Premier League, and he and his team-mates have now been rewarded for their hard work with a trip abroad. On West Ham's mid-season break to Dubai, Sakho took to the tennis court in the Dubai sunshine . Sakho did not seem as comfortable on the tennis court as he does for West Ham on the football pitch . West Ham assistant manager Neil McDonald told the club's official website: 'Since the start of December it's been full on and we're only just coming up for air at the start of March. 'It's been a tough couple of months but what we normally do is go away so the lads can get a bit of sun on their backs. 'We do a bit of training in the gym and along the beach, as well as having a couple of football sessions. It's more important that they have a bit of relaxation time and get the sun on their backs. 'In last two or three months everyone’s had their tracksuit tops, gloves and hats on and it’ll be great to go across there and we’ll still be working, but special for the boys that it’s in the heat.' The Senegalese striker (left) has scored 11 goals for the Hammers in all competitions so far this season . Sakho brings the ball down, looking to take the ball past Crystal Palace defender Damien Delaney (right)

Summary: The West Ham squad have been taken on a mid-season break to Dubai . Sam Allardyce's side were knocked out of the FA Cup and have a week off . Diafra Sakho posted an Instagram video of him playing tennis in the sun . Sakho has scored 11 goals for the Hammers so far this season .


Tony Pulis called for the introduction of video technology after Gareth McAuley was sent off in a case of mistaken identity after 90 seconds of West Brom's 3-0 defeat at Manchester City. The Baggies defender was dismissed by Neil Swarbrick instead of teammate Michael Dawson who sent Wilfried Bony crashing to the floor when he was clean through. After the match an incredulous Pulis said: 'I can't believe he's picked the wrong player - it's beyond me.' Tony Pulis has called for the introduction of video technology to help referees after Neil Swarbrick's error . Swarbrick showed a red card to Gareth McAuley (right) during the second minute after a foul on Wilfried Bony . West Brom defender Craig Dawson (right) makes the original challenge on Bony just outside the penalty area . The Ivorian striker heads to the ground under Dawson's clumsy challenge but managed to continue . Bony continues but McAuley comes in with a challenge of his own from the opposite angle inside the area . Bony goes to ground again under McAuley's challenge, leading to the dismissal of the West Brom player . He added that rather than criticise officials they should be given support and that technology needs to be introduced. 'It is no good moaning about referees,' Pulis said. 'We have to find a way to help referees out I would definitely call for managers to have two calls each and every game when there is 30 seconds and they can have a video link up with people upstairs who can watch it on video. 'The clubs can make money - there are people who will make money to have their names up on scoreboards. It will eradicate the major decisions referees are getting wrong that actually affect games of football and we have to work hard to do that in what is the greatest league in the world. The sooner that comes in the better.' BT Sport showed the incident from referee Swarbrick's perspective, with No 25 Dawson the closest to him . A difficult task turned into mission impossible following the red card and goals from Wilfried Bony, Fernando and David Silva wrapped up a comfortable victory for the home side who are, for now, three points behind leaders Chelsea who have two games in hand. City manager Manuel Pellegrini reflected on a morale-boosting performance after a difficult week which saw them lose at Burnley and then bow out of the Champions League at Barcelona. 'Of course it is always important to return to victory when you lost the last game,' he said. 'We lost the last two games in different competitions, Wednesday in Champions League and the last game against Burnley in Premier League. It is important to return to victory.' Fernando (centre) scored City's second of the match after Bony's opener and before David Silva added a third . The Chilean added that his side are only concentrating on themselves and not on Jose Mourinho's leaders. 'We are not thinking about that,' he said. 'I spoke with the players, we play now

Summary: Manchester City beat West Brom 3-0 in the Premier League on Saturday . Gareth McAuley was sent off in a case of mistaken identity for West Brom . Craig Dawson was the one who in fact brought down Wilfried Bony .


Amy Goldberg, 57, was charged with battery on a person 65 years or older after the incident . A Boca Raton woman is accused of smearing dog poop on her elderly neighbor's face to get revenge following argument. Amy Goldberg is accused of putting it on her 67-year-old neighbor's face and arms last week. Goldberg, 57, was charged with battery on a person 65 years or older. The smearing suspect's neighbor was walking her dog when the animal defecated on the lawn in front of Goldberg's home at the Woodfield Country Club in Boca Raton, according to an arrest report. The neighbor said Goldberg came running out of her house screaming and yelling, the Palm Beach Post reported. When Goldberg told her to clean it up, the neighbor, who already had a plastic baggie in her hand, allegedly fired back: 'You clean it up.' Goldberg allegedly grabbed the dog's mess in a bag and hurled it at her neighbor after a chase, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Goldberg then grabbed what was left of the pooch's poop and smeared it on her neighbor's arms and face. After police arrived, Goldberg told them she threw the fido feces in her neighbor's direction, but maintained that she never touched her. The 1,300 homes in the Woodfield community cost anywhere from $300,000 up to a few million dollars . Goldberg told officers the neighbor smeared the animal waste on herself to frame her for the attack because they had a long history of bad blood. She was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail and released. If convicted, Goldberg could be sentenced to a minimum of three years in prison and be forced to pay fines of up to $10,000. There are 1,300 homes in the Woodfield Country Club community that cost anywhere from $300,000 up to a few million dollars. Goldberg told police the neighbor smeared the animal waste on herself to frame her for the excrement attack .

Goldberg, 57, was charged with battery on a person 65 years or older . She could be sentenced to minimum of three years in jail and be fined $10K .


President Obama said Tuesday that he has a 'businesslike' working relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, but that the two men have virtually irreconcilable differences in their approaches to establishing a Palestinian state as a road to Middle East peace. 'We believe that two states is the best path forward for Israel's security, for Palestinian aspirations, and for regional stability,' Obama said during an afternoon joint press conference with Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai. 'That's our view, and that continues to be our view.' Netanyahu, he said, 'has a different approach.' 'And so this can't be reduced to a matter of, somehow, "Let's all hold hands and sing Kumbaya",' the president told reporters in the East Room of the Whtie House. 'This is a matter of figuring out, "How do we get through a real knotty policy difference that has great consequences for both countries and for the region?"' SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . NO KUMBAYA: Obama said Netanyahu would likely kill off any chance for a two-state solution in the Middle East, and it couldn't be achieved simply by holding hands and 'singing' for peace . Benjamin Netanyahu . TENSIONS: Israeli security forces stand guard following clashes with Palestinian youths during protests against Jewish settlements in the West Bank . Netanyahu declared in the final days before last week's high-intensity elections that there would be no Paleestinian state as long as Israeli voters continued to give his Likud party enough seats in parliament to establish a governing majority and keep him as prime minister. 'I took him at his word, that that's what he meant,' Obama said, later saying of prospects for a two-state solution that 'that possibility seems very dim.' 'We'll continue to engage the Israeli government as well as the Palestinians,' he insisted, 'and ask them – Where are they interested in going? And how do they see this issue being resolved?' 'But what we can't do is pretend that there's a possibility of something that's not there. And we can't continue to premise our public diplomacy based on something that everybody knows is not going to happen, at least in the next several years. Netanyahu had said in 2009 that he would be willing to endorse a 'demilitarized' Palestinian state as long as it recognized Israel's right to exist. But his pledge barely a week ago seemed to erase that option. After the election, Netanyahu clarified his campaign promise about never allowing a Palestinian state to take root. 'I said that the conditions for that today are not achievable for a simple reason,' he said during a Fox News Channel interview. 'Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinians, rejects consistently the acceptance of a Jewish State. He's made a pact with the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas that calls for our destruction.' 'And the conditions in the Middle East has changed to the point where any territory you withdraw from is immediately taken out by Iranian backed terrorists or by ISIS.' 'Right now we have to get the Palestinians to go back to the negotiating table,' he added, 'break

Summary: President said he takes Bibi at his word and believes he won't green-light a Palestinian state: 'That possibility seems very dim' Wouldn't confirm that he'll press the issue at the United Nations . Insisted that he has a 'businesslike' relationship with the Israeli PM . But 'this can't be reduced to a matter of, somehow, "Let's all hold hands and sing Kumbayah"' Said a Palestinian state side-by-side with Israel remains 'best path forward for Israel's security, for Palestinian aspirations, and for regional stability'


Dermot O'Leary is being lined up to take over the controls of a new prime time BBC 1 motoring show – just days after he quit as host of ITV's The X Factor. O'Leary, who ended his eight-year stint as the talent show host on Friday, is believed to be in talks to take over the controls of The Getaway Car, a new road show in which members of the public compete in a series of driving challenges. The star, who already has a show on BBC Radio 2, could, according to a well-placed source, co-host the programme with The Stig, the stunt driver from the latest Top Gear series, whose identity is a secret. BBC bosses stressed last night that the new show was not a replacement for the Corporation's embattled Top Gear. Dermot O'Leary (pictured) is being lined up to take over the controls of a new BBC 1 motoring show . The future of that programme remains in doubt after the BBC decided not to renew presenter Jeremy Clarkson's contract following his attack on producer Oisin Tymon. The BBC is planning a pilot edition of The Getaway Car and has issued a casting call for potential contestants, who take part as a pair. The publicity states: 'Anything goes as long as you know each other pretty well and think you would make great TV.' The pilot, which will not be transmitted, will be filmed later this year in what has been described as a 'very glamorous' overseas location. A spokesman for O'Leary confirmed the star was in talks with the BBC but declined to comment further. She said: 'Dermot has spoken to the BBC about a project but I can't say more than that.' O'Leary may also be co-hosting the show with the Stig (pictured), whose identity is a secret . A spokesman for the BBC confirmed it was making a pilot for The Getaway Car but said no presenters were yet attached to the project. She said: 'This non-transmittable game show pilot is still in development and there are no presenters currently attached to it. We will not comment on speculation as to who they may be.' Meanwhile, the exact circumstances of O'Leary's departure from The X Factor appeared to be in some dispute last night. There was speculation that X Factor boss Simon Cowell had decided to drop O'Leary, 41, because of his interest in the rival BBC job and that he wanted to sack the presenter to avoid giving the impression that he was walking out on the ITV show. But senior X Factor sources played down that idea. One source on the show said: 'That is not a scenario I recognise.' A spokesman then added that it had been O'Leary's decision to leave the programme. ITV is expected to announce that Caroline Flack, 35, who was crowned winner of last year's Strictly Come Dancing TV show, will replace O'Leary and co-present The X Factor with singer Olly Murs, 30. A spokesman for ITV last night paid tribute to O'Leary's time on The X Factor. He

Summary: Dermot O'Leary is being lined up to host new prime time motoring show . He could yet host it alongside The Stig, the stunt driver from Top Gear . News of his involvement comes just days after he quit as X-Factor host . O'Leary is believed to be in talks to take over new show The Getaway Car .


A plum, which was 'accidentally created' , has been touted as the next superfood to rival the acai berry. The Australian Queen Garnet contains some of the highest levels of antioxidants ever found in a fruit and has just gone on sale in the UK. According to studies the fruit has five to ten times more anthocyanins than a normal plum. The Australian Queen Garnet has five to ten times more of the antioxidant anthocyanins than a normal plum . The superplum was created during a breeding programme for a disease-resistant version of the common plum . Anthocyanins provide the dark colours of many fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries and red peppers. Research suggests that the plant antioxidants, which mop up harmful molecules, can help protect arteries and prevent the DNA damage that leads to cancer. The plum was accidentally created during a breeding programme for a disease-resistant version of the common plum in Queensland, Australia. It is currently undergoing trials in studies with obese rats, and early results relating to the fruit's potential to aid weight loss have been positive, reports say. Rats were fed a diet high in fats and carbohydrates until they were obese. Then a few drops of the plum juice was added to the rodent's drinking water, which the rats consumed during their daily 30 minutes of exercise. The previously obese rats shed most of their excess weight in eight weeks. Anthocyanins provide the dark colours of many fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries and red peppers. They have high levels of antioxidants which appeare to reduce inflammation and reduce the effects of arthritis in the body. The compounds in the antioxidants have similar effects as drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Professor Lindsay Brown, from USQ Biomedical Sciences who led the research told the BBC that the results from the rodent-led research are enough to make a case for the plums health claims. 'All the changes that rats experience with obesity - glucose levels, cardiovascular functions, inflammation - all those occur the same way in humans,' Prof Brown said, adding: 'The plums taste really nice.' Marks & Spencer claims it is the first retailer in the UK to stock the new variety of plum. M&S fruit technologist Andrew Mellonie said: 'This is one of the most exciting new fruits to hit the UK in the last decade. 'It is a win-win fruit. Not only is it delicious but also incredibly healthy. It was created purely by chance and is an amazing discovery that could offer significant health benefits.' Similar levels of anthocyanins in berries usually made them inedible, but the Queen Garnet is incredibly sweet and a 'delicious addition to the fruit bowl' with a 'delicious jammy taste - similar to that of a black fig', Mr Mellonie continued . But not everyone agrees with the positive claims. The plum can be consumed as a juice (left) or stewed and eaten with ice-cream for pudding (right) Professor Manny Noakes, research director for nutrition and health at the Australian science agency CSIRO, said it wasn't a

Summary: Australian Queen Garnet has five to 10 times more anthocyanins than a normal plum . Fruit was accidentally created during a breeding programme . Marks & Spencer currently the only UK supermarket to stock the fruit .


A woman conned her husband into thinking that he was the father of her son after undergoing IVF treatment using her ex-boyfriend's sperm, a court heard. The husband, who has not been named to protect the identity of the child, said that in 2004, he and his wife travelled to a clinic in Barcelona, Spain, where he gave a sample of his sperm. But he claims a few months later the woman returned to the clinic without him and was impregnated with her ex-boyfriends sperm instead. The couple have since divorced. The man, a lecturer in his 60s, claims that he paid more than £80,000 in maintenance towards the child over a number of years and is now seeking more than £100,000 in damages. A woman conned her husband into thinking that he was the father of her son after undergoing IVF using her ex-boyfriend's sperm, a court heard. Above, image of embryos being selected as part of the process . The businesswoman, who is representing herself at the hearing, says there is 'no merit' in her ex-husband’s claim. Barrister Thomas Brudenell, who represented the man at Central London County Court, said his client was claiming damages for 'deceit'. He said the man did not know at the time that his wife, who is in her 50s, had used her ex-boyfriend's sperm, although it was 'now quite clear what had happened'. Mr Brudenell said the little boy was born in late 2005 and when he was around six months old the couple separated. Divorce proceedings began and their divorce was finalised in 2008. He addded the man looked after the child when the woman was working and paid more than £80,000 in maintenance over the following few years . The mother, whose child is now nine years old, told Central London County Court that there is 'no merit' in her ex-husband's claim. Above, the Royal Courts of Justice in London, where the court is located .

Swedish furniture giant Ikea will produce 10,000 flat-pack shelters for the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) as temporary homes for refugees across the world. The 'Better Shelter' units are to be rolled out on a mass scale following a successful trial in Ethiopia and the borders of Syria, in 2013. It is hoped the flat-pack homes, which can built in four hours without the need for tools, will make desperate conditions more bearable for displaced families. Scroll down for video . Family shelter: The shelters here, pictured here at the Syrian refuge in Kawergosk, Northern Iraq, are soon to be delivered on a wider scale . Home comforts: : IKEA has developed its own version of refugee shelters, featuring solar panels for electricity and proper standing room inside . The first mass delivery will head to camps across Iraq where 2.5 million people have been displaced by conflict. In typical Ikea fashion, the walls, roof, floors, door and windows all come flat packed in cardboard boxes, making them easy to transport. Dwellers will be pleased the 17.5sqm shelters are twice as large as the current crop of refugee tents used by the UN and can accommodate five or six people. Shaun Scales, chief of shelter and settlement at the UN's refugee agency UNHCR, said they would improve the lives of tens of thousands of people. 'The refugee housing unit is an exciting new development in humanitarian shelter and represents a much needed addition to the palette of sheltering options mobilized to assist those in need,' he said. Successful pilot: The flat-pack shelters, pictured here in Ethiopia as part of a pilot, take four-hours to erect and do not need tools . Refuge: A displaced family stand by a shelter at the Kawergosk refugee camp in northern Iraq . 'Its deployment will ensure dramatic improvement to the lives of many people affected by crises.' Refugee camps are typically overcrowded with temperatures in tents fluctuating between sweltering hot in the day time and freezing at night. The walls and roof are made from the lightweight polymer, Rhulite, laminated with thermal insulation, which clips straight onto the shelter's steel pole frame. They are strong enough to withstand the harsh climates seen in refugee camps. The material was specially developed to allow daylight to penetrate the shelter during the day but also to trap light sources emitting from inside the tent. It also stops people from being able to see shadows inside the tent, addressing privacy issues. It should assist inhabitants to read, learn and engage at night time under artificial light. A lightweight insulated technical metallic textile is made with interlaced aluminium and polyolefin strips, designed to reflect heat from the sun during the day and stop the heat escaping from inside the tent at night. There is a solar panel on top, laminated on a thin plastic film, designed to generate electricity for a light and USB port inside the unit. But it is hoped the specially-designed shelters will bring an end to the grim conditions, with flexible solar panels on the roofs for

Summary: Shelters big enough to house families-of-six in refugee camps . New features include solar panels, high-ceilings and lockable doors . Mass roll-out follows successful trial in Ethiopia and on Syria border . Charities say it will improve the lives of thousands of displaced migrants .


A brave young son saved his mother and risked his own safety as he protected her from three masked attackers. Deonte Turner, 12, was with his mother, Barbara Whitehead, as they returned from her sister's house in the early morning hours of Tuesday. As they pulled into the driveway of their Detroit home, three men suddenly appeared and began cursing at Whitehead and demanding she give them money. That is when young Deonte stepped in to protect his mother, and one of the men stabbed him in the arm. Scroll down for video . Deonte Turner (above), 12, of Detroit , Michigan, stepped in to protect his mother as three masked men yelled profanities at her and demanded her money . The incident happened when Barbara Whithead (above) got out of her car in her driveway (in background) after returning home in the early hours of Tuesday . 'I told them we didn't have any damn money, but he just kept asking for money. And he kept talking really rough and in vulgar language,' Whitehead told the Detroit Free Press. 'And my son, he didn't like them talking to his mom like that.' That is when Deonte stepped in to intervene. 'He just told them don't talk to my mom like that. And then he saw it coming because he threw his arm up,' Whitehead said of the knife. 'He was like, "My arm, my arm."' The men ran off immediately after, and Whitehead, 44, rushed her son to the hospital where he was treated and released later that morning. 'He didn't cry. My son didn't cry,' said Whitehead. 'He was like, "Is Mom OK?"' Denote placed himself between the men and his mother, at which point one of the men stabbed him in the arm . And while the mother is incredibly proud of what her son did to protect her, she does not want him risking his own safety in the future - even if it is to protect her. 'When someone asks us for something, just try to give it to them. Try to cooperate,' she said. Authorities are still searching for the three men responsible for the attack. Meanwhile, Assistant Detroit Police Chief Steve Dolunt has called what Deonte did for his mother 'extremely commendable.'

The newly released The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is every bit as starry as the first film, with Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith and Richard Gere at centre stage. But India plays its supporting role with equal charm and grace. Painted elephants, marble palaces, magnificent forts, wandering cows, pale pink turbans and flickering candles tell of the noise, smells and rich colours of this flamboyant country. A city of colours and sounds: Jaipur is the spectacular setting for The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel . Filmed in Rajasthan, the film is based in its capital, Jaipur. But ask any resident of the city about the film and you will be met with a blank stare. Our wonderful guide, Rajendra, was aware of it only because a client had pointed out 'the apparently very famous Judi Dench' in the Rambagh Palace Hotel. Bollywood, not Hollywood, still rules the screens here. While it might be too late to see Richard Gere in the crowded alleyways of the bazaars, you will spot plenty of other desirable items. Jaipur is a shopper's paradise and Indians flock here for silks and the region's hand-made, block-printed cottons. This is also considered the place to come for jewels. The stones are not mined here, but cut, polished and set better than anywhere else. Visit the iconic jeweller of Jaipur, the Gem Palace, one-time court jewellers to the Mughal emperors and run by the Kasliwal family since 1852. Classic glamour: Judi Dench (left) stars in a movie which shows off Jaipur (right) at its most evocative . Here are ruby chandelier earrings, enamel rings with floral mughal designs and moonstone necklaces. You can watch them being worked on in their basement workshop, using skills that have been passed down the generations. For inexpensive sparkle, head to Bangle Lane (Maniharon ka Rasta) in the old city, where you can choose from a multitude of colourful lac bangles for a handful of rupees. Made from resin produced by the female lac insect, they are embedded with mirror pieces, stones, beads or painted. For fashion, Hot Pink is the most sophisticated venue, with high-collared men's waistcoats and moccasins in all hues, as well as kaftans and shawls. The best block-printed fabrics, a craft that dates back to the 1700s, are at Riddhi Siddhi, where cloth is piled from floor to ceiling. Wander, too, through the spice market, past paan wallahs filling betel leaves and the flower market, where scented roses, fragrant jasmine and marigolds are made into garlands to offer to your favourite deities. Magical moments: "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is every bit as starry as the first film" The Pink City is so-called for its coloured wash, intended to replicate Indian sandstone, a more noble material than the lime and mortar of which the buildings are actually made. With its city gates and crenellated walls, it makes for a striking sight. There are iconic landmarks, such as the five-storey, 18th-century Palace of the Winds, with its latticed screen facade allowing street life to be viewed by the veiled

Summary: Jaipur is the setting for new movie The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel . The city is one of the most alluring destinations in India's Rajasthan . The film stars the likes of Judi Dench, Richard Gere and Maggie Smith .


Google's 'on-body detection' users the phone's accelerometer to know when it's being moved and will only lock when placed on a flat surface . Google has already experimented with unlocking phones using faces, but for some this just isn't immediate enough. A number of Android owners have spotted a new feature that keeps the phone constantly unlocked as long as it's in a person's hand, resting on their leg or even just sitting in a pocket. The 'on-body detection' feature uses the phone's built-in accelerometer to know when it's being handled or moved, and will only lock the screen when placed on a flat surface. On-body detection was first spotted by fan site Android Police in the Smart Lock menu of a Nexus 4 running Android Lollipop. But there have since been numerous reports of the phone appearing on other Lollipop devices, and not just Google's own Nexus range. It appears to be linked to the most recent version of Play Services - a tool used to update Google's built-in apps. The on-body detection menu explained: 'The feature uses your device's accelerometer to detect whether your device is still being carried on the body. 'If your device detects that it's no longer being held, your device won't stay unlocked.' The phone has to be unlocked the first time it is picked up in the morning but once unlocked it will stay open until it is put on a table or similar. But as Google added, if the user unlocks their device and hands it to someone else the phone or tablet stays unlocked as long as the other person continues to carry it. It is also unclear how active the screen will be in a pocket. Google may shut down services but keep the screen unlocked, to avoid opening apps or accidentally calling people, known colloquially as 'butt dialling.' Google offers passwords and PINs to secure its phone, and more recently added Face Unlock (pictured) to phones running Android Ice Cream Sandwich and above. It recognises a person’s face and can establish whether or not the face being shown to the camera is real, or is a photograph . These services may then be enabled once the phone detects it is in a person's hand. It is also not clear what impact having the screen constantly unlocked will have on battery life. MailOnline has contacted Google for more information. A combination of special hardware and software will be used to accurately verify it is you, not a picture of you or someone trying to impersonate you. The cameras use infrared technology to identify your face or iris and can recognize you in a variety of lighting conditions. These security features are opt-in, meaning that users will be able to still rely on passwords and PINs to unlock devices and features if they so desire. Google offers passwords and PINs to secure its phone, and more recently added Face Unlock to phones running Android Ice Cream Sandwich and above.

Summary: Feature was first spotted by fan site Android Police on a Nexus 4 . Option appeared in the Smart Lock security menu on Android Lollipop . Once a phone is unlocked, the screen remains 'open' while it's being held . It also uses the phone's accelerometer to remain unlocked even in a pocket . Google hasn't confirmed feature but it's been spotted on multiple devices . It is unclear if screen could be accidentally used to call people, for example .


A 28-year-old Wall Street businessman is being investigated over $250million losses made by the insurance empire he set up. Alexander Chatfield Burns amassed a huge number of businesses, including several insurance companies, in his mid-20s. Colleagues said he would regular attended cigar clubs, the finest restaurants and even donated wine to the Guggenheim museum in the city. Alexander Chatfield Burns, 28 (pictured with friend Andrea Johnson) amassed a huge number of businesses, including several insurance companies, in his mid-20s. But is now facing an investigation after his companies reportedly lost $250million . Colleagues said he would regular attended cigar clubs, the finest restaurants and even donated wine to the Guggenheim museum in the city . But the financier is facing growing questions after he booked himself into Bellevue Hospital in New York a year ago and resigned from Southport Lane Management LLC, leaving a series of unusual asset transfers behind, the Wall Street Journal reported. Regulators in Delaware say Southport under Mr. Burns siphoned off millions of dollars of mainstream insurance holdings and swapped them with assets that are either over-valued or worthless. Among them is a painting Mr Burns initially believed to be by Caravaggio, but was later discredited as a copy by three art experts. Since the probe he has moved into a historic building in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. The Journal reported that Mr Burns had two insurance companies, two offshore reinsurers, a brokerage firm and a web of dealings with other insurers. His massive portfolio left him in charge of investing hundreds of millions of dollars in additional assets. Regulators seized control of the two main insurance companies last April. One based in Delaware is being liquidated, one in Louisiana has been sold. The insurance-company losses total nearly $250 million. Regulators in Delaware say Southport Lane Management under Mr Burns siphoned off millions of dollars of mainstream insurance holdings and swapped them with assets that are either over-valued or worthless . According to court documents obtained by the Journal, the companies still active have tens of millions of dollars in questionable assets. James Denlon, a Louisiana Insurance Commissioner, told the newspaper Mr Burns 'apparently is convincing and good at snookering regulators.' Jeffrey Leach, a former president at Southport, told the Journal he wanted to be a 'superrich guy'. 'His goal was to build this into a multibillion-dollar insurance operation,' he added. In statements sent through his lawyer, Mr Burns has called a lawsuit started against him by former employees Southport is 'baseless'. He blamed 'highly unexpected' events at the insurance companies which prompted a restructuring. He added that Southport complied with all relevant laws and that he doesn't face any litigation. Mr Burns has not been accused of any wrongdoing and is not party of any criminal or civil proceeding.

Summary: Alexander Chatfield Burns built a portfolio of businesses in his mid-20s . Enjoyed private cigar clubs and would attend the best restaurants . Financier facing growing questions following a stay at Bellevue Hospital . He later resigned from a company he founded, Southport Lane . Regulators say he siphoned off millions of insurance holdings and swapped them with worthless assets .

With the New Yorker's dad in prison, uncle Eric Munson had been Quillin's father figure until he lost his fight with cancer five weeks ago.

The 31-year-old said: 'He was the most important person to me in my whole life and it's the first time I've ever lost anybody that close to me. 'When I saw him fighting on his deathbed with cancer, I saw him fight through that until he had nothing left in the tank to fight with. 'That showed me the fight is all in your head. There's no cancer here so I have to do what's worth while I'm still here on this earth. 'I couldn't attend his funeral because I was here in camp. When I saw him it was the week before I started camp and the week after he died. My family told me he would've wanted me to stay in camp. I knew he was proud of me.'

'On top of that they put me in the fight with Quillin on the undercard. They wanted me and Peter to have the hard fight. Lee won his middleweight world
