Martin O'Neill has admitted there are still places up for grabs in his Republic of Ireland team for Sunday's Euro 2016 showdown with Poland. The 63-year-old Ireland boss has spent the last week keeping his fingers crossed over a series of injury doubts, all the while considering options to plug potential gaps in his starting line-up. Everton midfielder Darron Gibson, who would have been in contention for Sunday's qualifier at the Aviva Stadium, has already returned to his club after admitting defeat in his battle against a groin problem, although O'Neill received better news on Friday when full-back Stephen Ward and winger James McClean were both able to train in Malahide. Martin O'Neill has admitted there are still places up for grabs in his Republic of Ireland team . Republic of Ireland's Stephen Quinn and Kevin Doyle during the training session at Gannon Park . However, the team will not be named until the day of the game, and that means there is still time for men to force their way into his plans. O'Neill said: 'I think there are positions up for grabs, like there have always been since I have come here, and I think any international manager would probably tell you exactly the same. 'He's got an idea that he can formulate a couple of weeks beforehand, but the first time that you really consider it is when you have players at your disposal for the week of the game. 'Of course, we have had one or two players who for one reason or another, generally through injury, haven't really been available for the start of the week, so then you have to formulate different ideas, different plans for the players that you think might participate in the game. 'But overall, there have always been positions up for grabs here.' Ward and McClean have both been struggling with ankle problems and while the Wigan winger has been a regular member of the starting XI under O'Neill, it is perhaps the absence of Burnley left-back Ward which would cause him the greater consternation. Marc Wilson can and has played at full-back, although has more recently been employed as a central defender by his country, while Ciaran Clark is also left-sided and could play in both positions. Goalkeeper Shay Given (right) trains alongside fellow stopper David Forde . Republic of Ireland player Daryl Murphy talks to the media during training ahead of the Poland clash . However, there is a school of thought which suggests that any vacancy on the left side of the back four could be filled by Hull winger Robbie Brady, who has operated there in the past for both club and country. Indeed, he scored twice from that position in November's 4-1 friendly victory over the United States in Dublin, and that has not been lost on his manager. O'Neill said: 'He did very well, really well, scored two goals and from that position on the field, was really excellent.' However, Ward's fitness - he has suffered some irritation from screws used to repair his fractured ankle

Summary: Republic of Ireland face Poland in at Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Sunday . Martin O'Neill waiting on several injury doubts including Darron Gibson . Boss says team is not decided yet for the Euro 2016 qualifying clash .


Maintenance staff at the world's largest hydroelectric plant show they have a head for heights as they get to work. But these brave employees at the famed Three Gorges Dam insist their job is nothing out of the ordinary, despite the heart-stopping scenery below them. Ensuring electricity is safely transported across the massive power lines to the rest of the country is no easy task and certainly not one for the faint-hearted. Don't look dow: Employees at the famed Three Gorges Dam insist their job is nothing out of the ordinary . Dizzy: The maintenance workers regularly take on tasks at more than 650 feet above the ground . Daredevils: Ho Ku, one of the workers, said: 'I know it looks impressive but to be honest you don't really think about it when you're up there' The daredevils criss-cross high above giant rivers, regularly working at more than 650 feet in the air in the process, reports the People's Daily Online. Ho Ku, 39, is one of the fearless workers involved in the job - and modestly insists it's just another day in the office when he gets started. He said: 'I know it looks pretty impressive but to be honest you don't really think about it when you're up there. It's just a job like any other.' The dam that spans the Yangtze River in the Chinese city of Zhongxiang generated an incredible 85 terawatt-hours (TWh) of power last year - enought to power the whole of the UK for about five months - and project managers expect even more to be produced this year. The local power company has a small army of technicians responsible for the maintenance of more than 300 electricity pylons that carry power from the dam and supply local requirements. The company does annual checks looking for problems every year, typically in spring when staff require a total of 10 days to visit each of the huge pylons and check the cables. Scenic: The maintenance workers operate high above the ground, looking down on nearby fields and houses . Brave: The local power company has a small army of technicians responsible for the maintenance of more than 300 electricity pylons . A company spokesman said in that time a total of 338 five-hundred-kilovolt pylons will be serviced, covering an area of approximately 84 miles. The electricity pylons in the region that extend across rivers and valleys and transport hydroelectric power are part of the backbone of the central Chinese power grid system, which supplies both the north and south of the country. Towering: Every year, staff require a total of 10 days to visit each of the huge pylons and check the cables .

Summary: Chinese ,aintenance workers expected to scale new heights when they go to work every day . More than 330 electricity pylons have to be serviced every year, with some measuring 650ft (200 metres) tall . But modest employees enjoy the thrill and say: 'It's just a job like any other'

Need some help and inspiration deciding who to back at Cheltenham? Sportsmail's Peter Scudamore and Marcus Townend reveal their favourites while a group of racing enthusiast celebrities have also shared their tips for the Festival on day two. PETER SCUDAMORE - Eight-time champion jockey and rider of 13 Festival winners . BEAST OF BURDEN . (Neptune Investment Novices’ Hurdle, 1.30) This Rebecca Curtis-trained contender has long been on my radar and looks a horse of massive potential. Beaten over a shorter distance at Newbury over Christmas — his hurdling debut — but has won his other three races this season with great authority. BEST ODDS: 12-1 . Beast Of Burden winning the Excel Signs Novices' Hurdle Race at Bangor-on-Dee Races on February 6 . DON POLI . (RSA Chase, 2.05) One of the Irish hotpots of the week and looks a future Gold Cup contender. Won the Martin Pipe Conditional Novices’ Handicap Hurdle at last year’s meeting and has won his two races as a novice chaser. The most recent of those was his authoritative three-length defeat of the highly-rated Apache Stronghold in the Grade One Topaz Novices’ Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas. BEST ODDS: 6-4 . Don Poli, ridden by jockey Mikey Fogarty, winning the Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle last year . Racemail tipsters got off to a stunning start on the opening day. Robin Goodfellow (Sam Turner) and Captain Heath (Marcus Townend) napped 8-1 National Hunt Chase winner Cause Of Causes, while Townend also landed his next best bet (The Druids Nephew 8-1) to complete an 80-1 double. Turner also picked winners Douvan (2-1), Un De Sceaux (4-6) and Champion Hurdle winner Faugheen (4-5), while Peter Scudamore went for the first two Willie Mullins’ winners. BARADARI . (Coral Cup, 2.40) Rated by jockey Aidan Coleman (above) as one of his best chances of the meeting. His boss Venetia Williams has to be respected here and this contender looks like he still could be a touch in front of the handicapper. BEST ODDS: 16-1 . SIRE DE GRUGY . (Queen Mother Champion Chase, 3.20) Usually two quick runs might be a negative with the chance they have knocked the competitive edge of horse but Gary Moore’s reigning champion thrives on racing and there are very positive reports emanating from his Sussex stable as he prepares to defend his crown. He looks to have put his injury problems behind him judging by his last time out Chepstow win. Punters looking for a longer-priced each-way option should consider Simply Ned. BEST ODDS: 3-1 . Baradari (right) on the way to winning The Keltbray Holloway's Hurdle Race at Ascot on January 17, 2015 . MARCUS TOWNEND - on the best each-way bets . BARADARI . (Coral Cup, 2.40) Staying on really strongly when fifth in last year’s shorter Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle and was on the mark over two miles three furlongs at Ascot in December. That form has worked out well. This stiffer test looks likely to elicit even more improvement and he looks one of Venetia Williams’ best chances of the

UEFA president Michel Platini is preparing a crackdown on bad behaviour by players in a bid to eradicate the intimidation of officials from European competitions. Platini fears future generations of footballers and fans will be put off the game by scenes such as those of nine Chelsea players pressuring Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers to send off PSG’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Unlike the FA, UEFA do not have specific guidelines covering incidents of crowding the referee or a system of punishments, but they are looking into it. Michel Platini (left) during the UEFA Euro 2016 Steering Committee Meeting in Lyon on Thursday . UEFA spokesman Pedro Pinto said: ‘The UEFA president has recently been more concerned about the behaviour of players on the pitch. 'We would like to see an environment where players would accept the decisions taken and where they would not employ the tactic of pressure and intimidation of the officials during the game. ‘There is a strong interest internally to look at specific initiatives and campaigns, and possibly regulations that would have an impact on the behaviour of players. John Terry (centre) led the protests as he screamed at the referee following Ibrahimovic's first-half challenge . ‘It is not a good example for fans, for future players or for the image of the game.’ The FA have the power to fine clubs if they are guilty of mass confrontation or intimidating the match officials. Chelsea admitted a charge of surrounding referee Jon Moss during a game against Everton earlier this month and were warned about their future conduct. The Chelsea players surround referee Bjorn Kuipers at Stamford Bridge as he brandishes the red card .

Steve McClaren would cost Newcastle United around £2million in compensation if the club were to appoint him as their next boss. As reported by Sportsmail in January, Newcastle will make Derby County’s McClaren their No 1 managerial target in the summer. No approach has yet been made to Derby, who remain in contention for promotion and the work done by McClaren has attracted admirers. Steve McClaren would cost Newcastle United £2million in compensation if they chose to approach him . He signed a new three-year contract in August, and Derby would command a significant sum for his services should he depart. Chief executive Sam Rush said on Monday: ‘We have not had any approach, discussion or communication of any sort, whatsoever. ‘Whether it is speculation about your manager or players, you are likely to have this sort of thing if people are being successful. John Carver's chances of earning the permanent job seemed doomed if he doesn't improve his results . ‘Traditionally, it is more likely to be with players, but I think the job Steve has done here has been significant. The position from Steve has been very consistent. ‘He was only three or four months into his new contract when the speculation first came out, and he dismissed it then. From my point of view, I think Derby County is an incredibly exciting football club. I can’t think of anywhere anyone would rather be, especially given the start of the building programme Steve has undertaken and how well he has done.’ Meanwhile, Newcastle have announced record profits of £18.7m for last season, but fans say the figure has provoked more questions than answers. Mike Ashley will be pleased to see Newcastle have announced record profits of £18.7million for last season . The club have not released the full annual report, only selecting highlights with no detailed explanation as to how £28.5m of extra costs have been incurred. Mark Jensen, editor of online fanzine themag.co.uk, said he had expected profits for the 2013-14 campaign to be closer to £50m given the increase in income from television rights and the sale of Yohan Cabaye to Paris Saint-Germain for around £20million. Jensen said: ‘Everyone knows how much these clubs are getting from TV, so Newcastle fans would like to think more profit would mean more team strengthening but that has not been the case. There seems to be both a lack of transparency and ambition.’ Fan favourite Yohan Cabaye was sold to Paris Saint-Germain for £20million in last seasons January window .

Planning the perfect road trip isn't just about creating the ultimate playlist and getting a map - what you really need are algorithms. Now the man behind the 'Where's Waldo' algorithm has created a road trip route revealing the best way to visit 48 US states. Using a series of equation, the Michigan data scientist says his method can also be used on shorter journeys, beating Google maps on providing the best route possible. Zoom in on this interactive map to find the best road trip route across the US . Randy Olsen came up with the map when Discovery News challenged him to plot the best route across continental America. His only limitation was to make one stop in all 48 contiguous US states, along with Washington D.C. and two stops in California. Each stop would be at a national natural landmark, national historic site, national park or national monument. And the car could never leave US soil. To create the map, Mr Olsen first found the shortest distance by road between each of the 50 landmarks provided. The tricky part was putting the landmarks in order to eliminate as much driving back on himself as possible. Zoom in on this interactive map to find the best road trip route across Europe . The man behind the 'Where's Waldo' algorithm has created a road trip route revealing the best way to visit 50 US states. The resulting 13,699-mile route would take 9.33 days of non-stop driving if you had the road to yourself . Rather than looking at every possible solution, Randy Olsen used something known as a 'genetic algorithms' which starts with just a few random solutions. It then manipulates these solutions, while trying something slightly different each time, until it finds one that it can't improve on. The resulting 13,699-mile route would take 9.33 days of non-stop driving if you had the road to yourself. In his blog, Mr Olson explains how he used information from Google Maps API and wrote code to discover the optimum distance to drive to all 50 landmarks. This was the same code he had previously created to discover Waldo – or Wally in the UK. 'With 50 landmarks to put in order, we would have to exhaustively evaluate 3 x 1064 possible routes to find the shortest one,' he wrote. 'If you started computing this problem on your home computer right now, you'd find the optimal route in about 9.64 x 1052 years — long after the sun has entered its red giant phase and devoured the Earth. 'This complication is why Google Map's route optimisation service only optimises routes of up 10 waypoints.'

I definitely watched every moment, and it was great to see her and my family there. Next year will be a big year for us being an Olympic year. I can't exactly say what my schedule will be, but it was wonderful to see her reception.' Did that mean she had softened her own stance? 'Oh, yeah, absolutely.

I feel like in this instance she took the role of big sister. 'It was really nice. I love how, you know, we continue to protect each other no matter what. She did a fantastic job out there, even though she wasn't feeling her best. So like I said, I think the tournament's amazing. I also said next year is an Olympic year, so my whole focus is on trying to get to the Olympics. 'So I don't know what tournaments I'm going to play as long as I'm at the Olympics.

President Obama has revealed he heard the revelations Hillary Clinton used a private email account to conduct official state business at 'the same time as everybody else' when news reports surfaced. In an interview with CBS News during his trip to Selma, Alabama, he defended the former Secretary of State and applauded her decision to release the emails. 'I'm glad that Hillary's instructed that those emails about official business need to be disclosed,' Obama said, according to an excerpt of the interview released by the network. Scroll down for video . 'Same time as everybody else': President Obama told CBDS News he learned Hilary Clinton had used a private email account for state business during her tenure as Secretary of State when news reports surfaced . Clinton, seen as the front-runner for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination in 2016, said on Wednesday she wanted the State Department to release the emails quickly. 'I think that the fact that she is putting them forward will allow us to make sure that people have the information they need,' Obama said in the interview, versions of which will be aired on Sunday morning on CBS. 'The policy of my administration is to encourage transparency, which is why my emails, the Blackberry I carry around, all those records are available and archived,' Obama added. The growing controversy over Clinton's use of personal email for work while she was U.S. secretary of state threatens to cloud the expected launch of her campaign. Clinton tried to quell the growing controversy late on Wednesday, saying she wanted the State Department to release the emails quickly. But a senior State Department official told Reuters on Thursday the task would take time. Transparency: The president applauded the front-runner for the 2016 Democratic nominee for saying she would release the emails following criticism . 'The review is likely to take several months given the sheer volume of the document set,' the official said. The State Department has said there was no prohibition during Clinton's tenure on using personal email for official business as long as it was preserved. A total of 55,000 pages of documents covering the time Clinton was in office has been turned over, according to the State Department. But Clinton and her aides controlled that process, and the emails were not archived on government servers.

Summary: Described how he heard of the damning revelations in interview with CBS . Applauded former Secretary of State for saying she would release emails . Insisted that the policy of his administration is to encourage 'transparency' Controversy could overshadow Clinton's expected presidential campaign .


Respect for officials may not always be at the levels the referees would hope, but Fiorentina seem to have taken it further than most during their game against AC Milan on Tuesday.

Cancer survival rates in Britain lag more than ten years behind those in many other European countries, experts warn. Even for breast cancer – one of the most treatable forms of the disease – the figures are still well below those reached by France, Sweden and Italy in the late 1990s. For lung cancer, the rates are so far behind that patients in Britain are now half as likely to survive as those living in Austria. Macmillan Cancer Support has described the situation as ‘shameful’ and warns too many patients are dying needlessly here when they would survive had they been treated elsewhere in Europe. Cancer survival rates in Britain lag more than ten years behind those in many other European countries, despite billions of pounds being spent to improve the UK's survival rates (file picture, posed by models) And despite billions being spent to improve cancer survival rates over the last 15 years – £640million invested by Labour in the early 2000s and £750million by the Tories – Britain does not appear to have gained any ground. In 2002 Labour increased National Insurance tax by 1 per cent as part of a budget introduced by then Chancellor Gordon Brown specifically to pay for major improvements in the NHS, notably cancer care. But only this month figures showed that waiting times for scans are at their highest in seven years while a report by MPs warned of ‘unacceptable’ variation in care. Data analysed by Macmillan shows that 81 per cent of breast cancer sufferers in Britain survive five years. This is a lower rate than France, Sweden and Italy in the late 1990s, when the figure was 83 per cent. In these countries the survival rates are now 86 per cent or higher. For bowel cancer, 54 per cent of Britons can expect to survive five years, whereas in the late 1990s it was already 59 per cent in Finland and 55 per cent in Norway, the Netherlands and France. The five-year survival rate for lung cancer here is currently 10 per cent but in several countries, including Austria, Germany and Italy, it was at 11 per cent by the late 1990s. Lynda Thomas, chief executive of Macmillan Cancer Support, said: ‘Frankly, this is shameful. What we can see here is that better cancer survival rates are not unachievable. ‘If countries like Sweden, France, Finland and Austria can achieve these rates, then the UK can, and should, bridge the gap.’ Experts are not sure why our figures remain so far behind but it may partly be that doctors are not detecting the illness early enough, before it has spread to other organs. It may also be down to patients not being offered the newest, most effective drugs nor the latest surgical procedures, which are routinely available in other countries. This is particularly true for the elderly who are often denied chemotherapy or surgery on the grounds that they are considered too frail. Experts are worried improvements made to survival rates have stalled because the NHS cannot cope with the ever-increasing numbers being

Summary: Cancer survival rates more than 10 years behind other European countries . Breast cancer survival rates in UK below those achieved by others in 1990s . Figures despite Britain spending billions to improve situation last 15 years . Macmillan said it was ‘shameful’ and proves better rates not unachievable .


A misfiring Rafael Nadal had trouble hitting the mark but the third seeded Spaniard still had enough to beat American Donald Young 6-4, 6-2 on Tuesday and advance to the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open. Nadal, a three-time champion at Indian Wells, looked out of sorts in a sloppy opening set slamming an easy overhead into the net to give Young an early break and then later double-faulting to hand over another.

The contact was minimal as the 32-year-old clumsily lunged toward the World Cup winning midfielder and Scottish referee Willie Collum reached for his top pocket. The tie, delicately poised after a 0-0 draw in Ukraine three weeks ago, was effectively over for Shakhtar after Thomas Muller scored with the resulting penalty. Bayern ran riot at the Allianz Arena as Jerome Boateng added a second for the German champions in the first half before Franck Ribery, Muller, Holger Badstuber, Robert Lewandowski and Mario Gotze completed a 7-0 rout on the night and on aggregate.

Whether taking a car for a spin on a Sunday or focusing on getting from A to B after a stressful day, driving can be fun and therapeutic. But Tesla CEO Elon Musk believes humans could be banned from driving in years to come and all cars will, instead, be controlled by robots. The entrepreneur claims that computers will one day do a much better job of driving and that humans are simply ‘too dangerous’ behind the wheel. Tesla CEO Elon Musk (pictured) believes humans will be banned from driving in years to come and cars will, instead, be controlled by robots. The inventor and entrepreneur claims that computers will do a much better job of driving and that human drivers are simply ‘too dangerous . ‘It would be like an elevator. They used to have elevator operators, and then we developed some simple circuitry to have elevators just automatically come to the floor that you're at ... the car is going to be just like that,’ he told NVidia’s CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang at the company’s annual developers conference. Musk said that the obvious answer to keeping humans safe on the road is to ban us from driving, because ‘it’s too dangerous…you can’t have a two-ton death machine,’ The Verge reported. Instead of taking the wheel, drivers and passengers could read a book or watch a film while their cars tackle the roads for them. However, Musk said that such a vision could take over 20 years to become a reality. Tesla is among many firms that have added self-driving features to its cars and joins the likes of BMW, Volvo and Google, which are developing cars that could drive themselves completely. Tesla’s Model S features an ‘autopilot’ mode, which uses sensors to stop drivers drifting accidently between motorway lanes, as well as moderate speed and brake when necessary. Tesla’s Model S (pictured) will feature an ‘autopilot’ mode, which uses sensors to stop drivers drifting accidently between motorway lanes, as well as moderate speed and brake when necessary . A recent study by eBay Motors revealed that 84 per cent of Americans want to continue driving their own cars and not rely on autonomous technology. Almost four in 10 people think self-driving cars might save them money and three quarters of respondents think it is important that the technology could reduce the amount of greenhouse gases belched out by vehicles. Approximately 56 per cent of Americans think self-driving cars will result in fewer accidents, while 15 per cent predict they will cause more crashes. Being able to do other tasks while travelling in a car, not having to park and lower insurance rates are popular reasons to buy one, but the largest worry is liability in the event of a crash. Last October, Musk said the Palo Alto-based firm is working on a model that will be 90 per cent in control. He noted that driving conditions between 15 and 50mph are the most challenging because this is when most unexpected events occur, such as children running out into a road, cyclists

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers praised Jordan Henderson after the midfielder's second goal in as many games helped set the side on their way to a 2-0 win over Burnley. Henderson, standing in as captain for Steven Gerrard as he works his way back to fitness from a hamstring injury, opened the scoring just before the half-hour with a neatly-taken strike and then provided the cross for Daniel Sturridge's header early in the second half. 'It was a great strike and that gave us greater confidence in the game and his ball for the second goal was terrific,' said Rodgers. Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson celebrates scoring the opening goal for his side against Burnley . The midfielder lashed in a right-footed attempt from outside the box as Liverpool continue their charge . 'He has great technique and precision and it was a great finish by Daniel. 'He is improving all the time and as he matures even more tactically he will become even better. 'He has always had athleticism, he is born with a natural gift to run, and tactically he is improving all the time and his passing is improving and he is becoming one of the real leaders of this team. 'It was a wonderful performance by him and the team in general. 'We controlled the tempo of the game and whatever we had to deal with defensively we did. 'As good as the performance was at the weekend (a 2-1 win over Manchester City) this was equally as good.' Rodgers also had praise for Emre Can, who began the match as one of three centre-backs but, not for the first time in recent weeks, moved into midfield late in the second half. Daniel Sturridge loses his man and leaps to score a headed goal and give Liverpool a 2-0 lead . Reds boss Brendan Rodgers stands on the touchline with Burnley counterpart Sean Dyche . The Germany Under-21 international had a tough start to his first season in the Premier League but since coming into the team on Boxing Day, coincidentally at Burnley, has been nothing short of superb. 'I look at him and I think if you give him another couple of years he could play in any team in world football - that is how highly I rate him,' added the Reds boss. 'Whether he is central or wide you can see his football intelligence, he breaks through lines with his power and pace and he has great composure. 'The crowd love him because he does the dirty work as well. I really think he will develop into a real world-class player.' Burnley boss Sean Dyche had no complaints about the result, which leaves his side next-bottom three points from safety. Rodgers was full of praise for goal scorers Sturridge and Henderson after the game . Rodgers also revealed how highly he rates summer signing Emre Can, who played in defence again . 'They (Liverpool) were very good tonight. They are an expensively-assembled side with top-class players who have found that run of form and belief,' he said.

I don't think it will have the value that it did, here and overseas.' 'And God help any soul who takes his place, because that's like signing up for your own firing squad. Scroll down for video . Perry McCarthy, who was the original Stig on Top Gear, said that Top Gear without Clarkson simply 'won't work'. He also said that the BBC's decision to suspend Jeremy Clarkson and drop the rest of the current series of Top Gear amid allegations Clarkson punched a producer was 'a complete overreaction' The presenter told waiting reporters that he was off to have 'lunch with a friend' as he left his home yesterday . 'The only person who could take it on would be somebody who has nothing to lose.' Clarkson's future at the BBC is in doubt amid claims that he punched a producer in North Yorkshire. He now faces an interrogation over his row with Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon by BBC chiefs, who are said to be 'desperate' to get rid of him. Ken MacQuarrie, head of BBC Scotland, is leading an inquiry into the fracas and is expected to deliver a verdict within days. Mr McCarthy went on to add that Top Gear with a 'neutered' Clarkson would not work either in the Radio Times interview. He said: 'The charm and brilliance of Jeremy are that he is a slightly loose cannon, you're not quite sure what he's going to do next. 'There is an unpredictability coupled with creative genius. 'I think he is God's gift to British broadcasting, and a brilliant journalist.' He went on to clarify that he wasn't 'puffing him up', and that the pair weren't close, he was just very aware of his talents. Clarkson was suspended by the BBC last week after allegedly shouting at Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon (pictured) The BBC owns both the Top Gear name and the format of the show, meaning that it could still air without Mr Clarkson. However, many viewers tune in specifically because of the controversial presenter, and would be unwilling to watch it without him. Top Gear averages around 5.5million viewers an episode, but a programme about the Red Arrows airing in the same slot on Sunday night only attracted 1.3million viewers. More than 935,000 people have signed an online petition to reinstate him on Top Gear, whilst Prime Minister David Cameron, a close friend of the television presenter, has said that his children would be ‘heartbroken’ if the show is taken off air on a permanent basis. The series also raises around £50million a year for the Corporation, thanks to its sales overseas. The version featuring Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May is aired in some

Clarkson's future at BBC is in doubt after he allegedly punched a producer . McCarthy said: 'I think he's God's gift to broadcasting, a brilliant journalist'


Zolani Tete unleashed a brutal uppercut to stop Britain's Paul Butler and claim victory in their IBF world super-flyweight title fight at Liverpool's Echo Arena on Friday. Butler was bidding to add to the bantamweight belt he reluctantly gave up last year, but Tete's eighth-round knock-out ensured it was the South African who emerged triumphant.

Tete dominated the early rounds and while Butler responded with a strong left-hook in round five, his opponent restored control in the sixth and seventh before landing the decisive blow. 'I knew Paul was a good fighter, but I knew I could knock him out,' Tete told BoxNation. 'Paul is shorter than me. I'm looking forward to defending my title again.' Butler was considered the pre-fight favourite but the 26-year-old conceded he had lost to the better fighter on the night. Tete dominated the early rounds at Liverpool's Echo Arena on Friday . Tete landed the decisive blow in the eighth round to claim the title . 'He was very good and very awkward, a better man on the night,' Butler said. 'I normally have people come towards me.

Mathews will now shift his attention to a clash with reigning champion Richar Abril on April 18.

Summary: Paul Butler was bidding to become a two-weight world champion . The 26-year-old dropped a division for contest but lost to Zolani Tete .


ENGLAND VERDICT . In one sense disappointment because that was the fourth straight year England have finished runners-up. Professional sport is about winning; sport’s oldest adage is ‘nobody remembers who came second’. On the other hand, England are growing and improving and I am very positive and excited about this team. They have discovered a creative, attacking game that can put any team in the world under pressure if they have the courage to use it. If they work massively on their defence, ensure the full might and power of England’s front five can be brought into every game and become far more clinical in their decision-making at key moments they can achieve great things. And Twickenham was rocking again on Saturday, the first time in ages we really did have 80,000 people on their feet screaming. England are going to be incredibly tough to beat at Twickenham this autumn and that’s a good place to be in a World Cup. England's players form a huddle after narrowly missing out on the Six Nations title to Ireland on Saturday . Head coach Stuart Lancaster walks down the tunnel after watching his country's 55-35 victory against France . WHAT DID STUART LANCASTER GET RIGHT AND WRONG? 15. Mike Brown 14. Anthony Watson 13. Jonathan Joseph 12. Henry Slade 11. Jack Nowell 10. George Ford 9. Ben Youngs 1. Alex Corbisiero 2. Dylan Hartley 3. Dan Cole 4. Courtney Lawes 5. Joe Launchbury 6. James Haskell 8. Billy Vunipola 7. Chris Robshaw . Bench: Marler, T Youngs, Wilson, Parling, Wood, Care, Farrell, Tuilagi . RIGHT: He has nailed down the first-choice half-back combination — George Ford and Ben Youngs — and that is huge. Ford has been impressive from the start and Youngs has finished the tournament like a train. The coach has also given Jonathan Joseph his head at 13 and England have a real cutting edge at outside centre, supported by two fast-developing wings. Jack Nowell has impressed in all sorts of ways and Anthony Watson has pace and class, although he needs to find ways of getting more involved. The first-choice England backs, with the exception of 12, pick themselves now and have a tournament together under their belt. Billy Vunipola is now an 80-minute player — he didn’t miss a minute of the five games. That’s a big step forward and down to hard work and dedication. George Ford (pictured), alongside Ben Youngs, have formed a first-choice half-back combination . WRONG: Lancaster missed a golden opportunity to check on Danny Cipriani’s form by starting him against Scotland, when I would also have tried Henry Slade at 12. Ford could get injured, so Cipriani needs to be fully integrated and Slade could be the answer in a problem position. England have also missed out by not getting Steffon Armitage involved because there are occasions when the back row has looked unbalanced and one-paced. It is too late now and that idea, alas, has to be binned totally. I am still puzzled by some of the substitutions. No Cipriani against Ireland, then

Summary: England are growing and improving - the future is certainly exciting . Stuart Lancaster has done well to nail down a half-back combination . George Ford and Ben Youngs have been very impressive for England . Ireland flanker Sean O’Brien is my player of the Six Nations tournament .


For desperate Chinese families whose children suffer from debilitating brain conditions such as cerebral palsy, there is only one place to go. Those who have little or no money to pay for treatment flock to a ramshackle village in Changsha, one of China's fastest-growing cities, which has sprung up in the shadow of a specialist hospital. The community has become known as the 'brain paralysis village', as families from around the country set up home there in the hope of receiving crucial treatment than can improve the quality of life for their children, according to a report on People's Daily. Father and daughters: Village resident Zhu Dongwen (middle) and his twin daughters, who were born in 2011 . Hundreds have moved there - spending upwards of ¥100 (£10.6) per month on rent - because the treatment at the nearby Xiangya Bo'ai Rehabilitation Hospital is completely free, as it is funded by a government scheme. Roughly 10 kilometres from the Changsha Railway Station, the village has formed spontaneously, as desperate families arrive to seek medical advice from the largest rehabilitation hospital in central China. The free service is only open to parents who have run out of money and no longer have any other way of getting help for children who suffer from serious brain problems. Zhu Dongwen, 43, is one of the many parents living in this village. Both of his twin daughters, born in 2011, suffer from brain paralysis. 'I never found out what that really meant, or why it happened, although I spent all my savings looking for an answer and looking for a cure,' said Mr Zhu. 'In the end we were turned out on the street and in desperation in April last year I managed to get taken in here. I had almost run out of hope, but the community gave me back my hope.' Mr Zhu came to the village with ¥1,000 (£106) in his pocket in April 2013. Although the treatment is free-of-charge, the families still need money to live off. Now a full-time carer for daughters Zhu Sihui and Zhu Siying (not their real names) without any stable income, Mr Zhu is spending around ¥3,000 (£318) to support the family's life in the village. He took out a loan of more than ¥250,000 (£26,422) from various sources, which was spent on seeking care for his daughters, according to another report onChina Daily. Road to recovery: Both of Mr Zhu's daughters are recovering slowly. In the picture, Mr Zhu is dressing his Zhu Siying while Zhu Sihui is warming up her hands near the fire . Inside hospital: Mother Wang Qun is helping her daughter Xiang Liping with rehabilitation . Under the intense treatment being carried out at the centre, the first of his daughters recovered enough control over her body to be able to walk. A month later his second daughter followed suit, and now they are able to interact with him and carry out many tasks that would have been impossible a year ago. Mr Zhu said: 'I am finally starting to believe that

Summary: Village is in the city of Changsha and houses more than 100 families . Parents move there so that seriously ill children can be treated at a nearby hospital . Treatment at unique centre is paid for by government funding . One father with sick twins has so far borrowed more than £26,422 for their rehabilitation . They ended up living on the street and moved to the village in desperation . But his daughters are now able to walk and perform basic tasks .

Ms Perry, who heads Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia, told the commission former headmaster Ian Paterson groped her . 'I would describe it as between a pat and a grope,' Ms Perry told the commission. 'He then slid his hand right down to cup my buttocks and [I] felt him touch my genitals outside of my clothing.' Ms Perry continued: 'I was humiliated in front of the boys and I heard the boys cheering. 'I was disgusted with Paterson's behaviour and thought he was demonstrating to the Knox boys that it was perfectly acceptable, even admirable, to be disrespectful to girls.' The now 41-year-old , who was in her teens at the time of the 1989 incident, said students cheered when he touched her bottom and genitals . Ms Perry, now 41, was not interested in pressing charges against Dr Paterson but changed her mind in 2009. 'I wanted to let police know that I was happy to provide a statement if it was going to be useful to demonstrate the culture of disrespect engendered by the school and to highlight the environment and attitudes fostered by the headmaster,' she said. Dr Paterson's solicitor Jim Harrowell asked her if the headmaster was just positioning her on the stage. 'I would suggest to you Mr Harrowell that positioning girls by their bottoms is not the best way to do that,' she said. The chief executive was applauded by Knox victims and their supporters as she left the hearing in Sydney . Ms Perry was applauded by Knox victims and their supporters as she left the hearing in Sydney. Later she tweeted: 'I did not expect a standing ovation when I walked out of the Royal Commission today.

A Florida man was hospitalized after he crashed his remote-controlled plane this morning. The unidentified man was flying the radio-controlled jet as part of the Florida Jets RC Air Show in Lakeland in Polk County. It crashed into Paradise Field near the runway at Linder Regional Airport. The remote-controlled jet that crashed on Friday in Lakeland, Florida, is 'similar to one of these in size' The jet crashed into Paradise Field at Linder Regional Airport during the Florida Jets RC Air Show this morning . Fog stopped the man from going to Tampa General Hospital so he was was taken to Lakeland Regional Hospital . The man suffered non-life threatening injuries, but was severely burned during the crash, according to 10 News. When the aerial enthusiast's three-foot, $20,000 plane crashed near him, some of its fuel sprayed out and caused the burns. Polk Fire Rescue originally wanted to fly the injured man to Tampa General Hospital, but there was too much fog for the medical chopper to navigate. The man was taken to Lakeland Regional Hospital instead. Although the accident was originally reported as an actual plane crash, that notion was dispelled. The Florida Jets Air Show is not a competition, but more of a 'fly-In, or Jet-Together', according to its Facebook page from last year. The page reads: 'Florida Jets is one of the most exciting R/C Aviation events on the planet. 'FJ features the ultimate technology in airframe construction and power plant, and has the highest level of pilot proficiency of any radio control model aviation discipline.' The Florida Jets Air Show is not a competition, but more of a 'fly-In, or Jet-Together', according to Facebook . There were some initial reports that a plane had crashed, but Sgt Gross quickly cleared up the confusion . Although this mishap might seem out of the ordinary, it is more common than you might think. Remote-controlled planes crash frequently enough that there is a webpage about it. The No. 1 cause of remote control plane crashes is pilot error, according to R/C Airplane World. According to the site: 'Either the pilot is flying beyond his or her abilities, or flying a plane that's too advanced or simply unsuitable for his/her level of experience. 'Or perhaps they make a genuine mistake because of, say, disorientation - even experienced rc pilots make the wrong stick movements sometimes! 'Equipment failure is another reason. In fact pilot error is commonly disguised as equipment failure! 'Flying surface or control surface failure can also be the guilty culprit in bringing down our planes, especially if the builder did a less than satisfactory job on the hinges! 'Prevention is better than cure, but sadly it takes a crash to figure out what went wrong and hopefully prevent it happening again in the future.'

Summary: Plane was part of the Florida Jets RC Air Show in Lakeland in Polk County . Crash occurred this morning at Linder Regional Airport's Paradise Field . The man crashed his yard-long plane and some of its fuel burned him . He went to Lakeland Regional Hospital with non-life threatening injuries .

George Osborne vetoed plans for a 'patronising' Tory Election slogan which said 'Well Done You' in an attempt to thank voters for putting up with spending cuts. According to one source, the slogan was dreamed up by advertising agency M&C Saatchi, which is working on the Conservatives' campaign ahead of May's poll. But it was quickly rejected by the Chancellor, who said it was 'patronising and insensitive'. Scroll down for video . Pictured is how the slogan vetoed by George Osborne might have looked as a poster . Instead, the party replaced it with the slogan: 'We are with you' which is expected to be used during the campaign . The slogan was quickly rejected by the Chancellor, who said it was 'patronising and insensitive' Instead, the Tories opted for the more cautious 'We Are With You', which was launched by the Prime Minister in Manchester yesterday. A source said: 'There was general astonishment when it was suggested 'Well Done You' was a good message. It is patronising and would rightly have been greeted with a large raspberry by the electorate. 'We already have a struggle on our hands to rebut Labour claims that Cameron and Osborne are rich and out of touch. Short of putting a picture of Marie Antoinette on it, I can't think of anything worse. 'It didn't take very long for Osborne to tear it up.' M&C Saatchi went back to the drawing board and later produced the far more successful image of Labour leader Ed Miliband peering out of the top pocket of former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond. The agency was set up in 1995 by Maurice and Charles Saatchi. The brothers' previous firm, Saatchi and Saatchi, designed Margaret Thatcher's famous 'Labour Isn't Working' poster in the run-up to the 1979 Election. Last night a Tory Party spokesman said of the slogans: 'We do not talk about campaign matters.' Nick Clegg is banking on female 'floating voters' Nick Clegg is banking on female 'floating voters' to save the Liberal Democrats from an Election wipeout. Officials revealed they were targeting 'undecided' women voters in the party's vital marginal seats. They cited research across 18 seats showing women switching to the Lib Dems as polling day approaches. Aides to Mr Clegg boasted that women warmed to party pledges such as improving mental health treatment and cutting income tax by £400. One said: 'Our progress since 2014 suggests we are winning the battle for women voters.' Mr Clegg, who launches his Election campaign today, will spend the opening days supporting the party's 'key female candidates'. He will also unveil the Lib Dems' battle bus, complete with radio transmitter so he can do his call-in radio show on the road. Some party insiders confess the Lib Dems face a huge battle to hold on to even half their current 57 seats.

Summary: George Osborne vetoed 'patronising and insensitive' planned Tory slogan . The phrase, dreamed up by agency M&C Saatchi, read: 'Well done you' It was replaced by posters featuring the PM which state: 'We are with you'
