£110k Porsche and a £24k sweet sixteen: IVF children of Britain’s first gay dads on their luxury upbringing
null

www.mirror.co.uk
The IVF children of Britain’s first gay dads have opened up about their upbringing. The millionaire Drewitt-Barlows made history in 1999 when they brought home Saffron and her twin brother Aspen, who they’d fathered with a surrogate mum in California. 16 years on, Tony and Barrie's eldest kids - Saffron and Aspen - reveal what it’s like to have been brought up in this very modern family. Aspen, who was given a £110,000 Porsche and a custom-made Rolex for his sixteenth birthday said: "Dad and Daddy have been incredible fathers. Dad and Daddy say their greatest achievement is having us and I’m proud of them as it wasn’t always easy, although they have shielded us from any negativity. Rex "There are so many dads having families it is now just normal," Saffron said He added to the Mail on Sunday: "Like all parents they can also be a bit embarrassing at times. Daddy is very flamboyant. During school sports days he starts screaming and shouting, making himself the centre of attention. He’s just so gay all the time. Sometimes it makes me cringe but I love him for it too." The family recently moved into a £2.1 million mansion in Princeton, New Jersey, which boasts 15 acres of gardens. Rex The family recently moved to New Jersey Barrie and Tony, who have an estimated £38 million fortune, admit they moved because they felt like some people objected to their ostentatious lifestyle and faced threats and harassment. They say people aren’t bothered by the fact they’re a gay family in their new home. The pair were previously also forced to move the three eldest kids to a private school because of bullying – by parents. While talking about being brought up by two dads, Aspen goes on to admit he doesn’t think he’s missed out on not having a mother figure in his life. Rex Tony and Barrie Drewitt-Barlow with their ten-year-old twins Aspen and Saffron The pair also speak openly about their love lives, with Saffron saying both dad and daddy - who have been together for 30 years - vet her boyfriends. "There are so many dads having families it is now just normal. I don’t think any of us understand just how hard it was for Dad and Daddy when they began but I’m proud of them for proving the doubters wrong and being such good role models for us." Rex Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, Tony Drewitt-Barlow, Aspen Drewitt-Barlow and Saffron Drewitt-Barlow in May 2015 Saffron was treated to a £24,000 party for her sweet sixteen and her also parents splashed out on a $1,100 dress for the occasion. But Barrie and Tony don’t think there’s anything wrong with spoiling their kids. "People say that they’re spoiled brats but every parent wants to indulge their children," they explain.

Philip Green on his yacht Lionheart in Capri It's a miserable bank holiday for thousands of former BHS staff who are facing up to their first week out of work. But the ex-owner of the company, once a high-street favourite, continues to enjoy himself with a relaxing jaunt on his £100m superyacht in the Med. Sir Philip Green, accused by MP Frank Field of "plundering" the firm during his ownership, was pictured sunning himself on his plush boat 'Lionheart' near the island of Capri. Meanwhile, his daughter Chloe Green, 23, followed suit as she boarded a yacht in St Tropez. Xposure Philip Green has been accused of "plundering" the firm during his ownership of BHS Splash Sir Philip Green 'Lionhear' superyacht Far from dreaming of sun-drenched holidays in the Med, distraught BHS staff are wondering where the next pay cheque is coming from. The closure news in April hit 11,000 jobs, 22,000 pensions and sparked a parliamentary inquiry. Sunday was the final day of trading, bringing an end to 88 years of retail history. SWNS Shoppers visit BHS on the final day of trading Sir Philip, 64, and wife Lady Green will find out in weeks whether there will be a criminal probe into the collapse. He owned BHS for 15 years before flogging it to serial bankrupt Dominic Chappell for £1 in 2015. Labour MP Frank Field launched another scathing attack on Sir Philip, saying it was “a sad and bad day” as the shutters finally came down on 88 years of retail history at 22 remaining stores. And he refused to back down on previous remarks the tycoon was “evil”. He said: “I stand by that. It was a going concern, he was knighted for his services to retail and he turns out to be a sort of asset stripper.” Alpha Lady Tina and Sir Philip Green Julian Hamilton/Daily Mirror Frank Field described Philip Green as "evil" SWNS People shop inside a BHS Store in Harrow on the last day of trading It crashed with an estimated £571million pension deficit, although experts say it could be nearer £700million. As calls continued for Sir Philip, 64, to lose his knighthood, Mr Field added: “The key thing is how to undo the terrible damage he has inflicted on BHS workers and pensioners. “It is that damage, the plundering of the firm, that I described as evil.” Video loading Watch next Watch this video again Watch Next Click to play Tap to play The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video In Glasgow, tearful staff hugged.

The defender passed a medical this afternoon, all but sealing a temporary move away from the Etihad. The 25-year-old defender has been left out of City's matchday and Champions League squads. Porto were favourites to sign him back yesterday, with a two-season loan being discussed, but a late move from Valencia has changed things.

Raheem Sterling's Manchester City rebirth down to feeling LOVED and not my coaching, insists Pep Guardiola
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Sterling is starring for a City team he couldn't even get in (inset) at the end of the previous campaign Pep Guardiola believes that Raheem Sterling is feeling the love at Manchester City . Guardiola’s arrival at the Etihad has had a dramatic effect on £44million winger Sterling , who has transformed from a flop to one of the Blues’ top performers. And the City manager insists that’s because the 21-year-old is going into games knowing that his boss has his back. England international Sterling is still being inexplicably jeered by rival fans a year after forcing through his departure to City from Liverpool. But Guardiola said: “Raz now feels the love – and believe me, that is the difference. I mean, do you think that I can improve his skill in just one-and-a-half months? No. "It is not about me. In pictures — Sterling helps Man City beat Stoke 4-1 last weekend: “What I am is the coach and so I try to help. Like all managers in the world, I try to create a good environment, to make them comfortable, to take the best out of them, and to help the players to play good. “But Raz [Sterling] is showing his quality because, maybe last season, he played one weekend and then didn’t play the next. When a player isn’t playing he feels, ‘The coach doesn’t love me.’ When a player doesn’t feel loved, then it is difficult for them. “Players who are not in the team ask, ‘Why does the coach love that player and not love me?’ They think they deserve to play – and I tell them they deserve to play – but I can only pick 11 players and the substitutes and then rest of them are sat with the chairman. “Raz is playing, so he is happy.” AFP/Getty Manchester City have a 100% record after four matches under new boss Guardiola... Carl Recine/Action Images ...and Sterling has been a key part of that after getting his mojo back Guardiola admired Sterling when the winger was making a name for himself at Anfield and City’s determination to sign him last summer was driven by the belief that he was a player that the Catalan could work well with. But the City boss was so concerned by the flak that Sterling was taking at Euro 2016 that he felt compelled to call the player at England’s training camp in Chantilly to offer him support. That gesture was appreciated by Sterling – and his performances as City have beaten Sunderland and Stoke in their opening two Premier League games have been outstanding. It’s a tale that contradicts the claim made last week by Stoke’s Xherdan Shaqiri that Guardiola never spoke to him when they worked together at Bayern Munich. Andy Stenning/DAILY MIRROR Guardiola's man-management of Sterling began during the Euros — before he was officially City boss The Spaniard is amused by such a suggestion. He said: “I spoke with Raz, but I also speak to all the other guys. I speak with all my players every single day because I want to get the best out of them. In my career I have helped a few players, but I know there are others who criticise me in the media – and that is only because they did not play. “That is the only reason Shaqiri spoke. Of course I spoke with him, but every weekend I had to tell him that he wouldn’t play. That was because I decided another player must play instead. It is hard to keep everyone happy, especially when they don’t play.” Guardiola added: “When players are in the team they are my friends. But even then, I don’t decide games.

With Raz, I can tell him to move left, right or in the middle to receive the ball. I can tell him maybe that an opponent has problems defending his right side. “But that is it. "When Raz gets the ball, do you think my info is in his head? No, because he only has a split-second to decide what to do and a million possibilities. “I am here to help, but football belongs to the players.”

Chelsea legend John Terry rules out England comeback at 35 after approach by new boss Sam Allardyce
null

www.mirror.co.uk
Terry was sounded out about ending his international retirement to play for Allardyce John Terry has snubbed the chance to play for England after an approach by new boss Sam Allardyce, writes Steve Bates in the Sunday People. Chelsea skipper Terry was sounded out over a return to the Three Lions' camp with Allardyce set to name his first squad on Sunday evening. But he feels his days as an international player have gone – and he wants to concentrate on his career with the Blues. I can reveal Terry, who will be 36 in December, wasn’t given any firm assurance he would be named in the squad to play Slovakia away in England's opening 2018 World Cup qualifier in a week's time. But I understand he was asked if he would be up for a return if that became a possibility. Getty Terry is 36 in December and wants to focus on staying in Antonio Conte's Chelsea side The former England captain, who won 78 caps between 2002-2012, turned down the chance of a potential return, saying his days as a Three Lion are over. Allardyce has always been a big fan of Terry and would have considered him as a short-term measure if the occasion demanded. But while being fiercely patriotic, the player believes his career will be better served trying to restore Chelsea to the top four under their new boss Antonio Conte. Terry made his last appearance for England just under four years ago, in a 5-0 World Cup qualifying win in Moldova.

With Manchester United star Chris Smalling only playing a couple of minutes in their first three matches of the season, Allardyce only has Gary Cahill and John Stones from the Euro 2016 squad. And that’s why he’s likely to call up Everton's 34-year-old skipper Phil Jagielka for the Slovakia trip. Getty Phil Jagielka is in line for a recall with England short of bodies at centre-back United full-back Luke Shaw and Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater are also set for recalls , in a squad that will feature few real surprises. Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend is in Big Sam’s plans, along with Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain but veteran Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe could miss out unless Allardyce, his club manager just over a month ago, is left with injury problems after this weekend’s games. Liverpool FC via Getty Defoe got goals for Allardyce at Sunderland — but will he be given the chance with England? Allardyce will confirm Wayne Rooney as his England captain when he meets up with the squad for the first time on Monday. He has been impressed by the soundings he’s taken within the FA about the role of the Manchester United star while on international duty. Reuters Rooney is set to retain the armband as he closes in on England's caps record Rooney, 30, never considered stepping down after the disappointment of European Championship last-16 elimination by tiny Iceland and wants to continue with his country along the road to Russia 2018. The club and country skipper, already the greatest all-time England goal-scorer with 53 goals in 115 games, is only ten appearances off equalling Peter Shilton’s 125-cap Three Lions record.

Her mum Vicky Kelly wrote on Facebook , in a post that has been shared more than 2,000 times: “Our beautiful Blossom Iris Kelly lost her fight at 12.45pm this afternoon. “She put on the most amazing battle but her little body was tired and we had to make the most difficult decision of our lives and let her go and she chose to go today on her daddy’s birthday." “Words can not describe how we as a family are feeling right now but it hurts so bad," she continued. “Telling my kids that their sister had gone was the worst thing I have ever had to do. “God knows what we are going to do without the most gorgeous little character in the world. “She was my best mate and I’m going to miss her so so much goodbye princess love you always." Blossom was placed on a life support machine in hospital following the accident and was due to have an MRI scan on August 23. Other tests undertaken on that day showed she was slightly improving and her bloods had also started to improve. But sadly she passed away this week. Blossom’s auntie Hayley Thomas wrote: “One of the hardest days of my life today , we lost our beautiful wild funny little Blossy. “You, your mum and dad fought till the bitter end but it wasn’t meant to be. I have never witnessed such strength I am so proud of my brother and sister in-law. “Life will never be the same with out you gorgeous girl, but we are all so thankful for the four and half years we got with you!!! “We are going celebrate you and remember the great memories we have of you are precious flower. “Love you forever Blossom Iris Kelly, from your fairy godmother xxxxxxxxxxx” More than 4,000 well-wishers have commented on the post, paying tribute to the young girl, from Skelmersdale in Lancashire. Viv Harrison wrote: "My thoughts and prayers are with you. Such a beautiful child xx" Davi Varey added: This is heartbreaking, so sorry for your loss."

Liberton High School: Body found in woods at secondary school by pupil on lunch break sparking police probe

www.mirror.co.uk
A horrified school pupil found a man's body in woodland while on their lunch break. The body was discovered in a wooded area near playing fields at Liberton High School, sources told Mirror Online. Police have cordoned off the scene while forensic investigators look for clues as to what happened. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "A man's body was discovered in a wooded area at Liberton High School. "It was reported around 1.30pm on Tuesday 30th August. "The death is being treated as unexplained and enquiries to establish the full circumstances are at an early stage." Liberton High School hit the headlines in 2014 when a 12-year-old girl was crushed to death by a falling wall that was “fragmenting and fraying”. SWNS The school has been in the news before after a 12-year-old girl was crushed to death by a falling wall Keane Wallis-Bennett, 12, died after a “free standing modesty wall” near showers in a changing room collapsed on top of her as she got ready for PE. Some pupils said the tragedy was preceded by a “rumbling noise” which caused other girls to scream and jump back. It came after a 15-year-old girl fell five metres down a lift shaft in 2011 following a failed rescue attempt. She was left with three fractured vertebrae, a sprained wrist and bruising to her back. In another incident, last February a boy broke his neck in the gym when the goalposts he was swinging on collapsed. Alan Ramsay was knocked unconscious and suffered broken bones in his jaw and neck.

England's Sam Allardyce looking to tap into Olympic spirit
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Sam Allardyce wants to stamp his hallmark on the England set-up by embracing the Olympic spirit. Former Three Lions captain Rio Ferdinand has claimed England lack identity and yesterday Allardyce set out his plans to usher in a new era. The wonderful success of Britain’s Olympic heroes was in stark contrast to England’s Euro 2016 disaster and Big Sam admitted he hopes the players can learn some lessons. Small details make a big difference, according to Allardyce. Little things like rebranding around St George’s Park with graphics - including slogans like The Journey Begins Here in the main foyer- and the Three Lions crest on the lifts in the hotel in the Burton HQ. Video loading Click to play Tap to play The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video Allardyce was chatting in the Ron Greenwood Room just after giving a press conference to name his first squad. “The Ron Greenwood Room? All the names here inspire me. I am staying in the Sir Bobby Charlton Suite,” said Allardyce. “Do you think there might be a Sam Allardyce Suite here one day? I hope so. You never know do you? I suppose it depends on how well I do over the next two years. "I find the job inspiring, there's no doubt about that. I find the fact that I could be sat in Russia trying to win the World Cup for the first time since 1966 such a great challenge for me.” England fans may be concerned about whether the squad - shorn of the natural talent of Jack Wilshere and Ross Barkley - already represents Allardyce’s identity in midfield. Industry over invention. 2016 Getty Images Wilshere and Barkley are both shock early omissions The omission of Barkley was the main talking point but, as far as Allardyce is concerned, he is also determined to rise to the challenge of giving England back their identity after the Euro disaster. “I think that we all come under scrutiny in football terms, particularly after the Olympics,” said Allardyce. “About what is our identity. The Olympians have got great credit for what they’ve done and achieved again. Winning medals away from home more than ever before. “So what do we take from that to make our identity? It is probably different sports, we live in a different environment, a pressure environment. For me it about going out and the players showing not just how passionate they are, but how skilful they are at international level. Action Images via Reuters Allardyce is looking to mix in fun into his new regime “We are, and were, the youngest squad at the Euros and I think the experience they have gained in that tournament, and some of them for the first time, will give them a better determination and next time round they will be much better.” The players reported up yesterday, had a team meeting as well as one-to-one sessions with Allardyce who promised some fun mixed in to his new regime which will have very clear ground rules like punctuality and phones being banned. Allardyce has instigated a very clear Club England meeting room as well as a games room. There will be quiz nights and TV comedians Bradley Walsh and Paddy McGuinness have been invited as hosts. “A bit of fun, Christ. I haven’t come here to be miserable!” said Allardyce. “They are in a hotel, got the rooms, we’ve got a leisure area, which is just off the hotel rooms, which is for their leisure, their pastime. Action Images via Reuters Allardyce knows he has a task on his hands to turn things around “Then we’ve got the Club England, which is the business end of what we do before we get to training, then we go down to the facility, two identities where they are can chill out, relax amongst themselves, play table tennis, pool. “I just know I wanted to brighten this place up a little bit, make it more for the England squad. Like I said, we've done the first phase of branding, we've changed around a little bit and get out on the field and our training will be different to Roy's and the previous management team. Action Images via Reuters Allardyce begins life with England with Slovakia this weekend “In between that we’ve got a lot of meetings, training programmes. Their time on this camp will pass pretty quickly. We have to deliver the most key important things before we get to Slovakia. “Then the pressure is on massively and there’s a huge need to at the very least come back with a result. “It's the final challenge (for me). The final challenge of a long career. The challenge is a big one. I'm very proud to be the man that the FA have chosen to lead the England side forward. And that's me, to lead them, to manage them.”

Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video A morbidly obese woman died just days after having a gastric band fitted , an inquest heard . The grieving widower of Lisa Twining said he would not wish the procedure ‘on his worst enemy.’ The 49-year-old, who had a BMI of 60 where a normal BMI should be around 25, died after the band became infected, the Birmingham Mail reported . Birmingham Coroner’s Court heard that the mum-of-three decided to have a gastric band fitted because she was struggling to control her weight. “Lisa always said if she had the money, she would have a gastric band,” husband Lorne said. “She was pretty determined from the outset to have it done and when it was offered by the doctor, she said yes straight away. Birmingham Mail Tipton woman died days after having gastric band fitted “She even lost quite a bit of weight in order for her to have it done and she was so pleased with how much weight she had already lost. “I just can’t help thinking that she should have been encouraged by the professionals to carry on losing the weight in the way that she had been. “Had I have known what would have happened to my wife, there is no way I would have allowed her to have had this done.” Mrs Twining had surgery on June 26 and was discharged the same day. He said Mrs Twining, of Laurel Drive, Tipton, then returned to Sandwell Hospital, complaining of abdominal pain. Doctors discovered the gastric band had become infected and she was operated on at Heartlands Hospital. But Mrs Twining’s condition deteriorated and she died on July 5. “The doctor called me and said I should come back to the hospital as Lisa didn’t have long left,” Mr Twining, who has been married to Mrs Twining for 13 years, added. “During my last conversation with her, I told her I loved her and I am so glad I said that. “I would urge anyone thinking of having this procedure to think very long and hard.” Birmingham Mail Tipton woman died days after having gastric band fitted Rishi Singhal, consultant at Headlands Hospital, gave evidence at the inquest. He said Heartlands Hospital is a ‘world leader ‘ in performing gastric band operations, with around 300 being performed each week. “Infection as a result of a gastric band is not uncommon, he said. “But I have never experienced a death as a result of an infected gastric band, until now. “Mortality rates internationally are around one in 1,000. “Gastric bands are a very routine procedure, particularly at Heartlands but I had never seen anyone as unwell as Lisa as a result of an infected band. “I discovered that Lisa had been feeling unwell a few days before she presented herself at Sandwell Hospital and if she had attended as soon as she felt unwell, things may have been different. “That is possibly the only thing that could have been done differently.” Birmingham Mail Lorne Twining's wife Lisa Twining died after going into hospital to have a gastric band fitted What the coroner said Recording a narrative verdict, area coroner for Birmingham, Emma Brown, said: “Death was a result of a recognised complication of an elective medical procedure. “I am aware that Mrs Twining had other medical complications like diabetes and obesity but this was not uncommon in patients fitted with gastric bands. “I am aware and accept that the mortality risk is low and it is extremely unfortunate that Mrs Twining should be the one in 1,000 who would die as a result of this procedure.”

The sexist banner in question is not shown in this picture Toronto FC have vowed to investigate after a fan unfurled a lewd banner of a woman performing a sex act during a home match. The MLS club also apologised to Montreal Impact for the incident which took place during the Eastern Conference clash between the two Canadian rivals. An appeal has been made for fans who know is responsible for the banner to come forward with information. The banner, which we have chosen not to show, depicted a woman performing oral sex on a man, with the caption: "Montreal sucks." An official statement by Toronto read: "Toronto FC is proud to have one of the best fan bases and stadium environments in our sport. REUTERS Montreal Impact won the match 1-0 at the home of their Canadian rivals Toronto FC "Our fans show tremendous support for the club while demonstrating proper respect for our opponents and their fans. "On Saturday night, however, a sign was displayed in the stands that was insulting to many including our opponent, the City of Montreal, and their fans. "It was an embarrassment to our club and to our supporters and will not be tolerated. We sincerely apologize to the Montreal Impact, the City of Montreal, and all fans for this disgraceful act. "We are currently investigating through all available security and social media footage and strongly encourage fans with any information to assist us in identifying those involved so that they can be held responsible." Toronto lost the match 1-0, as Montreal's Ignacio Patti scored a 73rd minute winner.

Revealed: How much tax you'll pay in your lifetime (clue
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
How much tax you'll pay has been revealed The average household will pay more than £825,000 in taxes over a lifetime, according to analysis by a campaign group. The research found that a family with average household earnings of £41,027 would pay £826,030 in direct and indirect taxes over the course of a lifetime, a 2.7% increase on the figure calculated last year. The Taxpayers' Alliance (TPA) analysis suggests the bill includes £287,963 in income tax, £169,371 in VAT, £107,045 in national insurance contributions and £65,068 in council tax. The lifetime bill is calculated in 2014/15 prices and is based on a working household's direct and indirect taxes for 44 years and then a retired household's tax bill for 15 years. Getty The final figures are quite a shock The TPA analysis found that the average family in the poorest fifth of households would pay a lifetime total of £319,732 in tax - an increase of 2.2% - while an average household in the top 20% would pay a lifetime tax bill of £1,686,970, up 4.3%. The calculations, based on Office for National Statistics data, indicates that the total tax bill for an average household is the equivalent of 20 years of income. TPA chief executive John O'Connell said: "Politicians are forever lamenting the high cost of living yet all the while adding to the burden through higher taxes. REX/Shutterstock The lifetime bill makes shocking reading "Tax bills for households in every income group have gone up over the last year and that has obvious implications on hard-pressed families, already struggling with ever-rising bills. "If we are to start living within our means as a country the Government simply must tighten its belt and take the task of finding savings seriously. "With a new administration in place, now is the time to introduce radical reforms to our tax system and spending priorities to ease the pressure on ordinary taxpayers and boost economic growth."

Doctor criticises colleagues who missed her cancer and called her a 'hypochondriac' in blog from beyond the grave

A doctor who died earlier this year from a rare form of cancer has revealed her difficulties in getting diagnosed by other medical professionals in a blog from beyond the grave. Dr Lisa Steen described how she "spent two years wandering in the wilderness of the medically unexplained" before she was finally diagnosed in July 2014 with kidney cancer with multiple bone metastases. The mum-of-two who lived in Cambridge, worked as GP Lead for drug and alcohol service Inclusion and formerly a trainee psychiatrist, had been suffering a myriad of symptoms since August 2012 but despite repeatedly going to the doctor, it was initially put down to "health anxiety". Dr Steen's cancer was missed until it was too late Writing in the British Medical Journal, she said: "I still knew there was something wrong, but it seemed so fruitless going to see specialists. "It was so humiliating, feeling like a goldfish with no voice. Watching doctors' faces glaze over at the multitude of symptoms. Trying to fit it all in with work and looking after my family. "I am angry at being left in the medically unexplained wilderness and I did not like the way my colleagues looked at me, when they believed me to have health anxiety." Getty The mum-of-two underwent chemotherapy Her cancer was finally discovered two years later - but tragically it was too late - and by that point it had spread to her bones. She passed away at the end of February this year after keeping the disease at bay with chemotherapy, having a kidney removed and a hip replacement. She was just 43. She said: "Mine is a cautionary tale to those treating health professionals, and those of us who are unwell-doctors do get ill, they don't always know what is wrong with themselves: give them a class A service because it is actually harder getting treated as a doctor than a lay person." Lisa's husband Raymond Brown said: "She was just so angry and frustrated that she didn't get a diagnosis and seemed to be hitting a brick wall with every doctor she went to see. "They didn't seem to be taking her too seriously particularly because she had been diagnosed with health anxiety, she was being looked at as a hypochondriac. Getty The blog criticised her colleagues and stressed 'doctors are patients too' "She spent a lot of time on her own investigating what was wrong with her. She was probably right in the beginning, it was to do with her previous history of having a body tumour [which was benign] but they didn't seem to want to investigate it. "She just wants doctors to be aware when they are treating doctors to give them really good treatment and they have to be aware they are a patient and they don't know everything. They need to be treated like a patient, not like a doctor."

David Haye pictured with mystery blonde after splitting from wife Natasha

David Haye has been spotted out and about with a mystery blonde pal a week after his divorce was granted. Court papers reportedly showed that Natasha, the mother of his young son Cassius, filed for divorce on the grounds of adultery. Seemingly putting the split behind him, Haye enjoyed a sunshine break in St Tropez with a female friend before enjoying a trip out with the mystery blonde on Saturday. Pictures, obtained by The Sun , show the pretty blonde, who is dressed in a red playsuit and is wearing a ring on her wedding finger, being driven by Haye to visit his friend Alex Kollakis, who is the millionaire son of a Greek shipping tycoon. According to the newspaper, it’s unclear if the lady in the playsuit is also the lady who joined him on a luxury superyacht - owned by Alex’s dad - in St Tropez. Meanwhile, a source claimed to the newspaper that the female he was with in St Tropez is his girlfriend. "The divorce came through and he then went on a sunshine holiday with the new love in his life. He couldn’t be happier. His friends and inner circle have met her and she’s been introduced as the girlfriend.” They added: “David took his girlfriend out for the trip and they had a really great time. It was a free ride because he was a guest of the ship owner’s son who was also on the boat. They had a few drinks and enjoyed the sun." The dad-of-one posted a series of enviable photos and videos as he relaxed aboard the £20million yacht. Next to a short clip of him jumping off the side of the boat, he wrote: "Fun times with good friends in South of France. #NoCoincidences." Speculation that Haye and Natasha's marriage could be on the rocks began last year when he was pictured at a London hotel with a mystery lady, amid rumours the pair were "living apart". Getty David Haye Following the allegations, Haye’s lawyer said the boxer denied in the strongest terms any suggestion of an extra-marital affair, the Sun reported at the time. In December Haye put their £2million family home on the market, fuelling more speculation they were heading for a split. Natasha tied the knot with the boxer in 2008, but their marriage hit the headlines three years later when Haye was accused of cheating on his wife with former X Factor wannabe Amie Buck. Haye was alleged to have spent a weekend with the former stripper at a London hotel in March 2011. The athlete he never publicly addressed the accusations. After news of the liaison hit the headlines, Natasha reportedly moved out of the marital home but months later appeared to have forgiven the fighter. Mirror Celebs has contacted a spokesperson for the boxer.

Chelsea star N'Golo Kante targeted as vandals deface Leicester's title-winning mural
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Leicester City's title-winning mural has been defaced by vandals. Devious miscreants penned an obscene message over the top of former midfielder N'Golo Kante's face. The unidentified guilty culprit wrote Kante's surname across a picture of the Frenchman's face - but changed one of the letters, replacing the 'A' in his surname with a 'U'. Kante, 25, played a key role in Leicester's unlikely Premier League title success last season but left to join Chelsea earlier in the summer. Danny Drinkwater thrived alongside the Frenchman, but Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri has told the England international he must adapt to life without Kante by his side this term. "Danny has to change something because with Kante he made a very good couple," said the Italian. "Both are a little free but they linked well because when one went forward the other covered and they swapped well. "Now we have to restart to find the right solution. [Nampalys] Mendy is out [of today's clash with Swansea] so I want to see [Andy] King or another midfielder and what they can do."

Roy Calloway, 78, had never been able to play any musical instrument until he recovered from the stroke A pensioner has suddenly become able to play the piano after surviving a stroke . Roy Calloway, 78, had never been able to play any musical instrument until he recovered from the stroke. He was amazed when he discovered his new talent of being able to tinkle the ivories. Roy said: "I played and I couldn't believe it. It just came out naturally and I was in shock." Roy, of Upper Cwmtwrch, Swansea, South Wales, had the latest stroke after a series of heart problems. Getty Roy suffered a stroke after a series of heart problems He said: "I had a heart bypass around 20 years ago and ever since, I've had problems with my heart. "I've had countless strokes, but this was the first time anything was noticeably different afterwards." Roy discovered his new found talent after acquiring a piano from a late friend. He said: "A friend of mine passed away and he had a piano. He had been in a band and his son asked me to keep the piano as I had the room for it. "I sat down next to it to have a look. I just wanted to try and played it. Getty After his stroke, Roy said he just sat down at a piano and knew how to play it "It was just as my friend's son was walking into the room and he asked if I had ever played before and that he didn't know I could play. I told him I couldn't." Roy has now replaced his friend's piano with an organ. He said: "It's lovely and it has a beautiful sound." He said he had not gained any other skills since his stroke. "I haven't found anything else I can do that I couldn't before since having the stroke. But to be able to play the piano like this is enough."

Jake Roche will lift the lid on his relationship with his dad Shane Richie The son of EastEnders star Shane Richie is set to lift the lid on their troubled relationship. Rixton frontman Jake Roche, 23, has written a string of heartbreaking lyrics about the soap star including one which reads: “You shouldn’t see it when you are ten years old.” TV favourite Shane went off the rails when he was divorcing Jake’s mum Coleen Nolan 17 years ago after cheating on her with a dancer. Speaking about his dad, Jake told the Mirror: “I’m writing a lot about my dad and our relationship. I don’t know if it’s positive but it’s about him, and what’s happened. “One of the lyrics is ‘You shouldn’t see it when you are ten years old’. BBC Jake admits he has a troubled relationship with Shane Richie “These are things that have happened to me as a young child. These things affect you a lot. I haven’t spoken to my dad about it. “It’s art at the end of the day.” Shane, who played Alfie Moon in the BBC1 soap, married Mirror agony aunt Coleen and together they had two sons, Shane Jr, 31, and Jake. But they divorced when Jake was seven after Coleen discovered he had been cheating on her with Claire Tyler, a dancer in Grease.

Coleen has previously spoken of Shane’s cheating and how it “caused untold damage” to their sons. She said: “During the years we were together Shane had a longrunning affair with a dancer. Later I discovered there had been plenty of other women too. It totally destroyed me. Xposure Jake with his fiancee Jesy Nelson and his mum Coleen “But when our marriage ended it virtually destroyed Shane too. He was devastated that his cheating had destroyed our family, broken our hearts and caused untold damage for our sons.” During the divorce Shane relied heavily on alcohol to forget his problems and once even blew £20,000 on eBay in a single weekend. Speaking about that time in his life, he said: “eBay was pretty early in its infancy and I was drinking quite heavily at the time, I was going through a bit of a personal thing – Jack Daniel’s was on my shoulder.” ITV Shane admitted to cheating on Coleen He went on to marry second wife Christie Goddard and they have three children together. But in 2011, despite insisting he was a changed man, it emerged he had been having a six year affair with a young fan. Now Jake admits he wants to move away from association with his famous parents. He added: “When I joined the band I sat down with both of them and said that I didn’t want to take their names. I want to do it on my own and move away from my parents association.”

Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video X Factor contestant Ryan Lawrie's Capital Summertime Ball performance has been revealed. The 20-year-old Scottish singer won a competition to perform in front of the huge crowd, but the video of the performance has led to claims that he has already been a successful pop star. Ryan auditioned for Simon, Nicole and Louis on Saturday night's episode with his own version of The Vamps' Cecilia and made it through to bootcamp. But after viewers clocked him, his previous performance came to light and despite the X Factor denying the claims that he is a signed artist, the conspiracy theory has continued. Capital FM X Factor's Ryan Lawrie's 'popstar past' revealed as video shows singer performing in front of 80,000 screaming fans Capital FM The X Factor contestant has been in the centre of rumours that he is already a pop star, though the X Factor have strongly denied the claims Syco/Thames/Dymond Ryan Lawrie auditioned for X Factor but has already made it as a pop star Video loading Watch next Watch this video again Watch Next Click to play Tap to play The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video An X Factor spokesman said: "Ryan won a competition to sing at the Capital Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium but he is not a signed artist and has never had a record deal. "Anyone can apply for The X Factor whether they are professional or amateur, irrespective of their past experience and all contestants are auditioned on merit." It previously came to light that in 2013 his debut single, You're Free, beat Adele as it charted at number 39 on iTunes, but this was a charity single and not part of a record deal. Ryan was asked to write the song by terminally ill girl when he was 16, but she sadly died before he had the chance to write it. Ryan managed to raise around £1600 for charity from the track and donated it to Yorkhill Children's Foundation. Syco/Thames/Dymond Ryan was signed to a record label Syco/Thames/Dymond Simon Cowell was not as impressed as his fellow judges At the time, he said: "I just looked at the chart and thought, 'How can my name be sitting between Justin Bieber and David Guetta?'" As well as completing two tours of the UK, he managed to bag a spot at the Capital FM Summertime Ball as part of a competition. Eagle-eyed viewers recognised him straight away on the X Factor and took to Twitter to slam the show for bringing in an 'established artist'- despite him not actually being established. I LOVE RYAN LAWRIE CANT BELIEVE HES ON X FACTOR — charl (@charlsnuggets) August 27, 2016 One person tweeted: "ok just seen that this boy Ryan opened for the Capital Summertime Ball. so hardly f***ing undiscovered." While another viewer said: "So @ RyanLawrie_ performed at CapitalOfficial summer time ball this year now # TheXFactor # XFactor". Another viewer wrote: "So is Ryan fixed to go through since he's already a pop star?"

Building a toilet in India turned out to be our best ever family holiday

www.mirror.co.uk
Building a toilet in Indian turned out to be our best ever family holiday If you’re a parent who’s ever started a conversation with: 'You lot don’t know you’re born..’ Or maybe, ‘You’ve just had it all too easy’ then this is the holiday feature for you. I know on the face of it a week spent bricklaying a step for a school toilet block in the searing heat of India’s Rajasthan may not sound like a holiday in the conventional sense of the word. But it was the best holiday we’ve ever had. For if you want a holiday away from Nick Jnr and Netflix, from Minecraft and materialism, Snapchat and Starbucks, volunteering as afamily in a developing country, is it. And what you leave behind is just the beginning. It’s what you gain as a family which will last a lifetime. This really is a holiday away from it all “Do you think we’ll build a whole school in a week?’ my six-year-old Barty asked optimistically as we arrived in Araveli, the beautifully designed and spotlessly clean centre where we were staying in the mountains north of Udaipur. Considering I didn’t know one end of a plumb line from the other and my husband would struggle with a Billy bookcase, it seemed unlikely. But what we lacked in skill and strength and experience we more than made up for with enthusiasm. (Well, almost, we really did have none of the former.) This is a holiday for everyone And (for the record) neither are we a family of yoghurt-weaving hippies. Usually our holidays comprise of sandcastles, swimming, crazy golf and karaoke. But this really is a holiday for anyone. And the only thing you need to take is an open mind. The trip is run by an organisation called ME to WE which has the ambition of ‘empowering people to change the world’. Much of their work is with young people who they hope will become agents of social change in the future. Much of their work is with young people who they hope will become agents of social change in the future Alongside it lies the WE Charity – supported by Prince Harry and Richard Branson among others – which aims to lift communities out of poverty with a coordinated programme to improve education, water, health care, food and opportunity. From our centre we set out every morning for the half-hour drive to a remote hill village where locals are traditionally among the very poorest in India, just about supported by subsistence farming. Painting a loo As members of hill tribes they’re regarded as even beneath the caste system. But the WE Charity has been working in this village and changes are already evident. Alison and her family spent time with local people Locals have been shown how to grow awider selection of crops and given seeds which produce greater yields. And a new breed of goat has been introduced which produces more milk than the local breed. And a huge amount of work has been put into building a school where kids will hopefully educate their way out of poverty. A big reason why many girls drop out of school by 11 or 12 is parents are unhappy about them sharing toilets with boys. Alison's children loved the trip It’s an excuse some fathers, already sceptical about the value of educating a girl, will use to make her quit. And that’s where we came in... On the toilets. So Richard and I set to work with a bit of brick laying on the step to the toilet washbasins. Meanwhile the kids, Moss, 12, Eve, nine and Barty set about painting the boys’ urinal walls. OK, so they may not be Michelangelo but it looked a whole lot brighter when they’d finished. And yes of course there are plenty of local people who could have done that painting themselves. The family helped local people help themselves But the children at that school gained by seeing people from the UK willing to muck in and our family saw the benefits of mucking in. And while this year it may be just a toilet wall, who knows how it might affect the judgements they make in contributing to the world as they grow up. The trip is so well organised that any work is in manageable chunks of time and there is lots of leisure time to try local skills such as tie dye and cooking and to meet locals and learn about the realities of daily life. The trip is so well organised that any work is in manageable chunks of time and there is lots of leisure time It was wonderful to see our kids playing with children we met there. Their lives may be entirely different but kicking a football around or doing the Hokey Cokey they were just the same. So no, we didn’t quite finish building an entire school in our week in Rajasthan. But we did manage a step and a painted wall Nick Knowles would’ve been proud of. We did manage a step and a painted wall Nick Knowles would’ve been proud of It was a true holiday away from the commercialism and chaos of modern life, made us all re-evaluate how fortunate we are to live in one of the richest countries on earth and brought us together working as a team. And, like every good holiday... Incredible fun. Festival of fun gave us life time of memories, by Moss, 12, Eve, nine and Barty, six When we heard we were going to India we were really excited. We had heard about it but Mum had to point it out on the map. We arrived in Dehli, and had an amazing tour around the city in a three-wheel tuk-tuk. Next day we travelled to a city called Udaipur, where we met Ricky, Lloyd and Juhi who were looking after us while we volunteered at the school. We then travelled to the centre where we stayed at Araveli. We were met Chef KK (Kitchen King) who was a great cook. Each day we travelled to the village where the charity works. On the journey we saw goats and cows and monkeys just walking down the street. The first time we went the children at the school put orange flowers around our necks and marked our foreheads with paint. It was very different to home. The children had no desks and sat on floor mats. But the lessons were much the same, reading and maths. They asked us lots of questions. Then we started painting the toilets. It was hard because it was hot but it was amazing how good they looked. In the afternoon we went back to the centre and played cricket. On others day we helped cook dinner, did tie-dying, silk printing and even Bollywood dancing (even Mum and Dad joined in.) While we were there it was the Hindu festival of Holi where everyone throws coloured powder at each other. It was great fun. We were sad to leave, everyone was so nice. We’ll never forget our holiday. TRAVEL FILE BOOK IT: A nine-day trip to India costs from $3,995 (£3,024) per adult and from $3,795 (£2,872) per child (under 17). Flights are not included.

Chelsea star Eden Hazard can decide title race purrs Branislav Ivanovic after Belgian's brilliant best beats Burnley
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Burnley's defence were in for a long afternoon after Hazard scored in the ninth minute A rejuvenated Eden Hazard can decide this year’s title race, according to Chelsea team-mate Branislav Ivanovic. The Belgian winger lit up Stamford Bridge in Saturday's 3-0 win over Burnley — a tormentor-in-chief for Sean Dyche’s outclassed Clarets. Perhaps no one will ever know exactly what went wrong for then-reigning Footballer of the Year Hazard last season, as he and the defending champion Blues struggled so badly. Did talk of a move to Real Madrid and being up there with Ronaldo and Messi affect him after his 2014-15 heroics? Was there a major fall-out with since-sacked manager Jose Mourinho? Whatever it was, new Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has got Hazard, now 25 and surely approaching his prime, playing with a smile on his face allowing the world-class talent to shine through. Chelsea FC via Getty Hazard lets fly to give Chelsea the early lead... REUTERS ...curling a shot around defenders and inside keeper Tom Heaton's far post REUTERS Hazard jumps for joy — as the delighted home fans do the same... Chelsea FC via Getty ...the Belgian has now scored two goals in two home Premier League games this season... Chelsea FC via Getty ...which, amazingly, beats his total in the league at Stamford Bridge for all of last season And ahead of what promises to be a thrilling title tussle, that is bad news for all the other Premier League defences – something Serbian defender Ivanovic was quick to point out. After a display from Hazard that will have given Burnley right-back Matt Lowton nightmares, Ivanovic said: “We are playing like a team – but you also look at the players and their potential. “And Eden Hazard is for many people one of the best players in the world, especially after a performance like this one. “Everyone can be looking to Eden sometimes, including the last month. And in my opinion he is the player that can decide the league, everything – and every game we play. REUTERS Willian guaranteed the three points with Chelsea's second goal just before halftime... Getty ...and there should have been more goals before Victor Moses made it 3-0 late on “Everyone hopes we continue get his performances from two years ago and with that we can do incredible things.” After a fourth straight victory maintained a 100 per cent start to his reign, Conte said: “Eden is a great talent and a good guy, and by good I mean he wants to work hard and improve himself. “I want to work with the wingers, we have fantastic wingers in the one-v-one, and get them in the best condition to exalt their talent.” A superb solo goal from Hazard after nine minutes got Chelsea up and running, and Brazilian Willian added a second before half-time. Hazard could easily have had three more, and the game was up long before Victor Moses added a late third from fellow substitute Pedro’s cross. In pictures – Chelsea 3-0 Burnley: But as much as Hazard’s welcome renaissance, Ivanovic was delighted at nailing a couple of troubling statistics from last season. This was a first home league clean sheet since November, during which time Ivanovic and the rest of the defence came in for some fierce flak. And it was a second successive home league win this term – incredibly, something Chelsea did not manage during that miserable attempt at retaining their 2014-15 title. Ivanovic added: “After we scored the second, we focused more on the defence. “It was a very important game for us, keeping a clean sheet especially as that hasn’t happened at home in the league for a long time. “We are happy about that. It is a very long time not to have kept a clean sheet at home like that, and very unusual for a club like Chelsea.

The England keeper said: “We were really disappointed with that. "We didn’t go about it how we usually do and came up very short. We weren’t at it and came unstuck, but it is a lesson.”

Banker Oliver Dearlove died from a brain haemorrhage after a one punch attack following a night out with friends. Mr Dearlove apparently approached a group of women, just two hours after texting his girlfriend to tell her he loved her. The 30-year-old was fatally attacked in the early hours of Sunday in Blackheath, south east London. After being airlifted to hospital medics were unable to save him, and he was pronounced dead. Oliver lived with his girlfriend, Claire Wheatley in Eltham, south east London, and the couple had been together for four years. Two hours before the incident, the victim texted her to tell her that he loved her. Speaking to the Guardian, Miss Wheatley said: "We were trying to get some money together so we could buy a house together. We had big plans. "We were planning on having a baby as well. He was the kindest, most amazing person I’ve ever known. I’m so lucky to have known him. Linkedin Oliver Dearlove, 30, worked for Duncan Lawrie Private Banking and was a keen footballer "He and his friends aren’t the kind of guys who look for trouble. They like having a good time and a bit of banter. But he would normally cower away from any altercation." Police officers investigating his death are now trying to trace four women who Detective Chief Inspector Lee Watling said "exchanged remarks" with Mr Dearlove near Blackheath train station at 12.45am. Mr Watling, of the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "We are retaining an open mind at this stage of the investigation with regards to a motive and our primary aim is to establish how Mr Dearlove came to receive the injuries which led to his death. "We are appealing for anyone who was at Tranquil Vale who witnessed the incident, in particular a group of up to four white females who Mr Dearlove and his friends were speaking to around the time the offence occurred." Met Police Police have launched a murder investigation and appealed for witnesses to come forward He worked as a relationship manager for private bank Duncan Lawrie and had previously worked for Coutts, the Queen's bank, and Barclays. Colleagues said they were shocked at his death, with Doug Keightley, marketing manager at Duncan Lawrie describing him as a "very, very popular guy." Oliver played football for local team Lord Hood FC and comes from a family of three brothers, two step-brothers and a step-sister. Mr Dearlove's heartbroken mother Joy Wright, 56, described him as a "perfect young man." Speaking at the family home in Chislehurst, south east London, she said: "He was very popular, he was easy-going, he had a lot of friends. "He worked hard, he was the perfect son. We can't believe what's happened. We're all in a state of shock." Google Mr Dearlove was attacked in Blackheath Village She added: "I'm absolutely devastated, he had so much more life to live, he was going to Vegas next week with his friends. "He played lots of football, he got on with everyone, he was a perfect young man. "He had so many plans with his girlfriend as well, they were talking about getting a house together and having a baby. "He and his friends from uni met up in Blackheath, had lunch, dinner, some drinks. At 10pm he texted his girlfriend to say that he loved her. "I don't think there was any kind of altercation or fight. Someone picked a fight with him, punched him, and he fell backwards, maybe hit his head, and that was that. "I think he stopped breathing when he hit the floor. His friends tried to give him CPR to save him but nothing could be done. "I think someone might have said to his friends something like 'what are you looking at?' but no real confrontation."

A spokesman for Northumbria Police said: "The 17-year-old boy who was rescued by the RNLI and taken to the RVI hospital with serious injuries has since died. "The other three teenagers remain in a stable condition. "Our thoughts are with the boys family at this time."

However, they got into difficulty while swimming, prompting several witnesses to make 999 calls to the coastguard, the Chronicle reports. One of the boys was rescued off the coast of Roker Beach, Sunderland, along with two 17-year-old girls who were also in the dinghy. However, the fourth teenager remained missing. At around 5.10pm, a police helicopter spotted something in the water. RNLI lifeguards retrieved the boy, who was then airlifted to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary with serious injuries. Northumbria Police spokesman said a search operation has been launched to rescue the boy after he was spotted in the water at 3.22pm. At least two lifeboats and two helicopters were involved in the hunt for the teenager.

BBC reporter Fiona Trott posted images of rescuers in the water and a helicopter circling overhead, writing: "Two RNLI lifeboats out searching for missing 17 year old in Sunderland." She added: "2 helicopters too." The search came less than a week after five young friends from London drowned in the water off Camber Sands beach in East Sussex. The tragedy claimed the lives of Nitharsan Ravi, 22, Inthushan Sriskantharasa, 23, Kurushanth Srithavarajah, 27, and brothers Kobi Nathan, 21, and Kenigan, 19. GOOGLE The boy vanished in the River Wear, near the Old Pier at Sunderland Yacht Club, at around 3.20pm Kenigan and Inthushan had become trapped in quicksand under water and the other three swam over to try and rescue them, but they were overwhelmed. Following their deaths, the victim's relatives have criticised the lack of lifeguards, suggesting their loved ones may have survived if the beach was manned. Since then, it has been announced that lifeguards are being sent to patrol the site for rest of the summer in a bid to prevent further tragedies.

Teenager 'linked to family embroiled in bloody gang war stabbed in city centre attack'

www.mirror.co.uk
A teenager with links to a family at the centre of a gang war was stabbed in an attack in Dublin city centre this morning, it has been reported. The knife attack on the 19-year-old associate of the Hutch family took place at around 9am and the injured man was rushed to the hospital, where his condition is currently unknown. Gardai have sealed off the crime scene, reports the Irish Independent . The attack comes just two weeks after the murder of an innocent father-of-three in Majorca in a case of mistaken identity. Trevor O’Neill was shot dead in front of his wife and child outside an empty supermarket in Majorca. Getty Images Gardai have sealed off the crime scene Jonathon Hutch - older brother of Irish feud murder victim Gareth Hutch - told Spanish police he believes he was the real target of a killer. The 37-year-old, who has no involvement in the bloody Kinahan-Hutch clash which has been blamed for nearly a dozen deaths in Spain and Ireland over the past year, reportedly told officers he was not linked to violent crime. In February gangster David Byrne was shot dead at Dublin’s Regency Hotel during the the weigh-in of Jamie Kavanagh, the boxing pal of Irish godfather Christy Kinahan’s son Daniel. Trevor O'Neill was gunned down in Majorca in a case of mistaken identity The shooting, which followed the September 2014 killing of Jamie’s gangster dad Gerard at a pub near Marbella, was seen as retaliation for the assassination in September last year of Gary Hutch in Miraflores near Fuengirola. Gary’s uncle Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch has been blamed for ordering the hit on Byrne as part of an all-out war with the Kinahan gang. His brother Eddie was shot dead three days after the Regency Hotel attack in a feud which one major criminal has warned would only end when Daniel Kinahan, who until recently lived in Marbella, was killed.

History of Rihanna and Drake's relationship as the One Dance rapper declares his love at MTV VMAs
null

www.mirror.co.uk
They've faced rumours about their relationship for almost a decade now, but Rihanna and Drake made the most public declaration of their love ever at last night's MTV VMAs. "She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22-years-old," Drake told the audience as he presenter the Barbadian beauty with her Video Vanguard Award. But where did it all begin? Speculation about their relationship first began all the way back in 2009. Following reports that the pair were spotted kissing at a bowling alley, Rihanna insisted in a radio interview that they were "just friends". A year later, Drake released a track that appeared to reference the alleged hookup and claimed in an interview that he had simply been a "pawn" for Riri. Getty Drake presents Rihanna with the The Video Vanguard Award during the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards FilmMagic The pair looked like a couple "You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. I was like, wow, this feels terrible," he said. For the next few years, the pair released numerous collaborations, including What's My Name and Take Care, but appeared to leave their fling on the backburner. After a failed attempt at reconciling with Chris Brown, Rihanna appeared to be done with men - at least for the time being. It wasn't until Rihanna released her smash hit single Work in January that the rumours of their alleged romance began to make a return fullforce. The pair put on a steamy performance at The Brit Awards, and it was hard to deny the sexual chemistry between the pair on-stage. Twitter They've been close for years Rex The pair put on a steamy display earlier this year Drake then dropped his album a couple of months later, and the couple collaborated on Too Good, a track about a tumultuous relationship that many fans believed referenced them directly. Rihanna even appeared to reference her track Work, singing: "Lately you just make me work too hard for you. Got me on flights overseas, and I still can't get across to you." Splash They've been hanging out a lot this year Splash They regularly party into the early hours together Skip forward to June, when Drake reportedly flew to the UK just so he could hang out with Rihanna as she performed on her Anti Tour. The close pair were spotted partying at Nicole Scherzinger's 38th birthday bash until almost 6am. Earlier this week, RiRi's rumoured boyfriend bought her a huge sign emblazoned with the words 'Congratulations to Rihanna from Drake and everyone at OVO', and his touching speech at last night's VMAs sent fans into meltdown. As the pair flirting back and forth on-stage, and almost shared a kiss, fans rushed to social media to beg Drake to propose to the gorgeous star. Will these two ever make it official? We really hope so...

New X Factor series is already a million per cent better than last year's disaster
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
I’m sure you were all too busy to catch ITV’s shameless attempt to piggy back Team GB’s success on Saturday morning. So let me explain. To honour the legacy of Rio, ITV switched off its normal programming for an hour to inspire viewers to go and do some exer­­cise instead (some might argue much of ITV’s output does that already). On Saturday this involved the same motivational message being played on a loop for a whole hour. Only problem was I found it so mesmeric I failed to get up from my sofa, which would seem to defeat the object. That’s not why I mention it now though. The reason I bring it up is so I can salute ITV’s comic timing. Because on the very day ITV was making a virtue of broadcasting the same old thing over and over, The X Factor returned for a 13th series. Syco / Thames / Dymond It's back! And, as well as treating us to the same old content, Simon Cowell had also brought back a few old faces. Honestly, it was like we’d hopped in a time machine back to 2006. There was Louis Walsh grinning like a fool. There was Sharon Osbourne pre­­tending she’s just an ordinary mum of three from little old England. And there was Cowell himself wearing baggy snow-washed jeans that were only 20 years out of date the first time he wore them on TV. Sadly, the following morning brought confirmation that the show’s ratings had also returned to 2006. That was the only bad news though. Syco / Thames / Dymond Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger on The X-Factor This all-new all-old version of the show is already a million per cent better than last year’s disaster. In fact, I will happily give it a resounding three yesses. I would give it the full quota but, at time of writing, my 4th yes appears to have taken an unexplained break from proceedings. It’s probably in LA having some work done or trying to track down its cheating husband. I will also happily admit that The X Factor made me laugh out loud at least five times over the weekend. That’s quite a feat – the last time it made me laugh out loud even once was when Gary Barlow let his mask slip for a minute back in 2012 and ended up sharing Tulisa’s “fag ash breath” issues with the nation. Syco / Thames / Dymond Kittipos and Nicole Scherzinger on The X-Factor Syco / Thames / Dymond SImon Cowell has finally rediscovered the meaning of fun Most of the weekend’s japes were provided by Nicole Scherzinger. If she can keep this level up she could be the woman who saves The X Factor. Of course, painful experience means we must beware false dawns. In eight weeks’ time, once Boot Camp and that Six Chair unpleasantness have sucked the joy out of things, we could well be praying for a quick end. I doubt it though. Something tells me Cowell has finally rediscovered the meaning of fun. Either that or his other jeans were in the wash. FOOTNOTE. As of now I am willing to tolerate the inclusion of contestants who’ve had record deals. However, if Saturday’s standout ­auditionee does not call his first album A Bit Of Ryan Lawrie consider this offer withdrawn.

www.mirror.co.uk
Shkodran Mustafi is Arsenal bound after tough negotiations with Valencia Arsenal are closing in on signing Shkodran Mustafi - after failing in their bid to land Bayer Leverkusen's Omer Toprak. The Gunners firmed up their interest in experienced Toprak, 27, as negotiations with Valencia for Mustafi stalled. But the two clubs were unable to agree a fee and the Gunners then made their move for Germany-born Turkish international Toprak. Arsenal were then unable to reach an agreement over a fee for Toprak with Leverkusen so renewed their attempts to land Germany international Mustafi, 24. Getty Germany international Mustafi was set to have a medical at the Emirates on Friday Leverkusen wanted £40m for Toprak, who is rated as one of the Bundesliga's most consistent defenders. Arsenal are set to stump up around £35m for Mustafi, who is due to have his medical on Friday, after previously baulking at Valencia's demands. Valencia boss Pako Ayestarán said: "A week ago the offer wasn't enough to get him but now the offer is considerable." Matthias Hangst The Gunners' interest turned to Mustafi after they failed to land Omer Toprak from Bayer Leverkusen The uncertainty in Arsenal's chase for a defender has been mirrored in their pursuit of incoming £17m forward Lucas Perez. He was deemed not up to Arsenal's level by a number of their scouts and down their list of targets when they knocked back the chance sign him last month. But boss Arsene Wenger has had a change of heart with time running out to strengthen his squad ahead of Wednesday's transfer deadline.

Arsenal new boy Shkodran Mustafi has revealed Mesut Ozil talked him into moving to the Emirates - but insists he didn't take much convincing. Mustafi's switch to north London will be confirmed before Wednesday's transfer deadline along with midfielder Lucas Perez. The defender, who is moving to the club from Valencia, played with Ozil and Per Mertesacker for the national team. Mustafi, 24, is set to pen a five-year deal after a fee which could rise to £35million was agreed, and says Arsenal's fluid style of football was another contributing factor in his decision to go ahead with the transfer. Getty Mustafi spoke with Mesut Ozil about moving to Arsenal... Reuters ...and insists his new teammate didn't have to say much to convince him to make the switch "I did not see Per for a long time because he quit international football but I talked to Mesut," Mustafi told Sky Sports in Germany. "He told me everything I wanted to know. Everything was positive, so I was convinced very fast. It did not take much. "I have always loved Arsenal, I like how they play here, it is not typical English. "The game here is more like in Spain and with the German national team, keeping the ball on the grass, so it was easy to convince me."

The 23-year-old victim was travelling with four other passengers in a mini-cab through the City following a night out after they got into the cab near to Farringdon station. Moments later it's believed the victim was assaulted inside the cab forcing the driver to pull over and dial 999. Paramedics raced the the scene where they treated the injured man before taking him to hospital where he is in a critical condition. Officers arrested one of the passengers at the scene on suspicion of GBH and the 32-year-old man currently remains in police custody. No other arrests have been made at this time. It is believed the victim and the other passengers inside the cab were all known to each other. Detectives are urging any witnesses or anyone with information who may have been in Farringdon Street at the time the cab stopped to get in touch with them. Detective Inspector Kazim Toprak, from the City of London Police said: “We want to hear from anybody who might have been in Farringdon Street and who may have seen what happened as the cab pulled up and stopped. "There may have been people waiting at the bus stops nearby to Old Seacol Lane, which is not far from Ludgate Circus. We’re keen to establish the full circumstances which have led to a young man being critically ill in hospital, so please get in touch with any information you may have.” Anyone with information should contact the City of London Police on 0207 601 2222 or call Crimestoppers, which is completely anonymous, on 0800 555 111.

Amazing space train 'Solar Express' could shuttle passengers to Mars in just two days
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
An inventor has unveiled an ambitious concept design for a space train named the "Solar Express" that could be used in future to ferry passengers and cargo through space faster than any existing system. Each train would be composed of six 50m-long cylinders in a straight line. The cylinders would be split into cargo bays and could be swapped in-flight using maintenance robots. The Solar Express would first accelerate with rocket boosters. The idea is that, once launched, the space train would never stop - instead, space capsules would rendezvous with it while moving. Boris Schwarzer/Charles Bombardier Stored fuel contained in the train’s core could be used to make course adjustments, while the cargo vehicle could also use gravity to 'slingshot' around planets or moons. Solar Express inventor Charles Bombardier estimates that the train could travel at around 1% the speed of light - or around 3,000km per second (1,864 miles per second) - which could reduce the journey from Earth to Mars to just two days. Huge solar arrays, located along the train's path could be used to harness solar energy, while water harvested from comets or moon could be used for humans travelling on the train. "The harvested water could also be used to create hydrogen and propellant, but the main propulsion system should take the form of ion thrusters," says Mr Bombardier on the Solar Express site . Boris Schwarzer/Charles Bombardier Designed to transport cargo, vessels and people, the train would include a large "space city" that rotates around the longitudinal axis to provide artificial gravity for long-term flights. The faster the Solar Express moves, the more expensive it would be to catch it. "Some Solar Express trains could be used to make large loops (between distant planets), while others would be assigned shorter routes and their speed will vary," explained Mr Bombardier. While still very much at the concept phase, the Solar Express offers a glimpse at how astronauts and supplies could be ferried around in future. Boris Schwarzer/Charles Bombardier "Obviously, there is a lot to consider, starting with dimensions, masses, speed, energy, etc. How do you control such a complex vehicle?," said Mr Bombardier. "The general idea here is to devise a system to transport minerals, materials, and humans from one place to the other in our solar system. The Solar Express is a basic idea and we would like to know how we could improve it." Montreal-based Charles Bombardier developed the idea alongside engineering expert Olivier Peraldi and Ford designer Boris Schwarzer. Private space firms Boeing and SpaceX are currently developing spacecraft to ferry commercial crew astronauts to the International Space Station and back.

Rowan Bridgwood has spoken of the horrific moment her throat started to swell A woman suffered a horrifying allergic reaction after drinking a cocktail as her throat began to close up. Rowan Bridgwood - who suffered from a severe egg allergy - felt her throat swell seconds after sipping on the ‘Memoirs Of A Geisha’ cocktail at Lost In Tokyo in the Northern Quarter in Manchester City Centre on Saturday night. She quickly realised the drink must contain raw egg - an ingredient which can cause potentially fatal anaphylaxis for Rowan - she quickly took her medication and the symptoms eased. Bar bosses have apologised and say they immediately took steps to change the menus to include details of allergens included in their drinks, Manchester Evening News reports. But Rowan, 26, from Bury , is now warning other bars to be extra careful to label ingredients and be aware of common allergens that can make customers ill. Dominic Salter/Manchester Evening News The incident happened at the Lost in Tokyo bar in Manchester She said: “I read the menu and there were not too many ingredients and no mention of eggs or foam, which I have learnt to look out for. “After my first sip my lips started to tingle then my mouth and my throat started to close. It’s a horrible feeling because you feel as though you can’t breath. I’m very careful what I eat and drink. “The manager was very apologetic and kept saying they would make sure the menu was changed. “I just want to make people aware of these common allergens. “I think places need to take into consideration how important it is. It’s so important that they label everything clearly.” Rowan was celebrating her boyfriend Sam’s birthday when she fell ill. Dominic Salter/Manchester Evening News Rowan was terrified when she suffered the reaction The school administrator, who carries an epipen with her at all times, felt better after taking her medication but was forced to go straight home. She says she will not be returning to the popular bar again. Bar manager Tom Small said the menus were immediately recalled and changed to include details of any allergens included in the drinks. He added: “We have gone through the menus and they have been reprinted to avoid any future issues. “We take this unfortunate matter extremely seriously and apologised to the customer at the time. “The safety of our customers always comes first and we will display all allergens in cocktails from now on.”

But those days are long gone for Michelle Keegan , who casually reinvented herself on Tuesday afternoon - with a Jennifer Lopez-inspired video. The blonde beauty, 29, attracted 500,000 views in less than 24 hours for the ten-second clip, which shows her swirling around in a sexy two-piece to the star's Latin-flavoured track, Ain't It Funny. Michelle has a JLo moment She was all of a spin Dressed in a crop-top and long, flowing skirt, the performer shows off her incredible figure while spinning around in a Spanish-style street. Wearing her blonde hair up in a fashionably messy bun, she was clearly on fine form. With a sepia filter added to the clip in order for it to replicate J-Lo's 1999 video, Michelle offers a passing resemblance to the hit star - and obviously enjoys every moment. What a beauty She couldn't hide her smile Naturally, it generated plenty of flattering comments from fans, with one saying: "How do you do that without getting dizzy? Stunning, btw". Another added "love to see you in strictly bet you'd be awesome!". The clip was filmed during Michelle's most recent date night with husband, Mark Wright, while abroad on Sunday evening. Michkeegan/Instagram It looks like the same outfit Rex Marchelle married last year If nothing else, the romantic outing has helped dampen rumours that their marriage is already in crisis. Speaking to The Sun newspaper, an anonymous friend had previously claimed they were at breaking point,saying: "It's been a turbulent first year and they've been apart much more than they've been together. "Things between them are pretty volatile. When you add it up they're just not sharing time, a bed, meals, days out, or chilling together the way couples need to." But the couple hit back at the claims, with Mark's rep telling us: "This is a fabricated story from a mysterious unknown 'pal'. Yawn."

Liverpool look like a top 4 team to James Milner after Tottenham draw they deserved more from
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Things are looking up for Liverpool despite having just four points from three games, says Milner James Milner is convinced Liverpool can finish in the top four - as long as they can find their ruthless streak. The Champions League has to be the target for Jurgen Klopp’s men, even though this season promises to be the hardest ever battle to get into Europe. But Liverpool have begun the season playing well enough, even if the results from their trio of away games tell a different story with a win over Arsenal, shock defeat at Burnley and now a 1-1 draw with Tottenham. That suggests they have yet to find consistency, but versatile Milner believes it is more about being clinical with their finishing and they certainly created enough to win the game at White Hart Lane. In fact, the former England international believes if Liverpool had been better with their finishing they would - and probably should - have won all three games and now be joint-leaders fof the Premier League. Video loading Click to play Tap to play The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video But it is clear that Klopp has made major progress in the ten months since he took charge at Anfield. His reign began with a draw at Tottenham. Then, they were hanging on for their point. On Saturday, they outplayed the Londoners. Milner said: “I don’t see why we can’t make top four. We have shown that over the last year and this season that we can beat anyone. “It is about the teams who aren’t going to play against us, who sit back and defend, improving that side, being more ruthless in front of goal and inconsistencies last season which I think was the case. “People might say that about the Burnley game but it was a good performance and it was not like it was 50-50. We dominated the game and we definitely need to improve and be more ruthless in front of goal. “I like what I see the first three games but we need to make sure the good performances that we keep improving and get the results. REUTERS Milner stepped up to score from the penalty spot after Roberto Firmino was fouled... REUTERS ...giving Liverpool, who have already won at Arsenal this season, a half-time lead... REUTERS ...but his former England team-mate Danny Rose also scored from left-back as it ended 1-1 “We’ve had better performances and results against the top teams. It was the same again at Tottenham. We had chances. The pleasing thing is the performances and that we have started well. But it is a results business.” Milner has always had a reputation as a good, honest and dependable pro. But his willingness to slot in at left-back in place of the error-prone Alberto Moreno to tighten up Liverpool’s defence has been remarkable. The midfielder-turned-full-back has, of course, retired from England duty and will spend the international break doing double sessions and working on his positioning — and there is no moaning from him about playing out of position. Milner, whose first-half penalty was cancelled out by Danny Rose’s late leveller, said: “I am a Liverpool player and what the manager asks me to do I will do. If he thinks that is the best thing for the team than I will do it. “I have to learn as fast as I can. Hopefully I can keep the mistakes to a minimum and do what I can for the team. But it is very different. Arsenal FC via Getty Moreno has been dropped from the Liverpool team because of his defensive flaws.. Getty ...so former midfielder Milner is learning the position as he goes, in training and matches “I have played a lot on the left in my career and would rather play left-back than right-back. That does not affect me, it is learning the position, playing there in training and in pre-season and watching videos after the game, distances from the centre-half, getting out to the wide man quickly. “It is a lot different to what it was five, six or seven years ago. A lot of time, you are like a winger and on the front foot. So I could speak to other left-backs but the way the manager wants his full-backs to play is different to how other managers wants them to play.” Every manager must wish they had a Milner in the squad. And Klopp is also thankful for the front three he started with at White Hart Lane. Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino were terrific with their pace, movement, and you can see why Daniel Sturridge cannot get in the side. They terrorised a Tottenham team who are supposed to be title challengers again this season. In pictures — Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool: Liverpool kept getting behind the home defence and should have scored more than once — only a controversial offside flag denied Mane a second goal. It was rough on the visitors, but Klopp was philosophical about the point they took away as he believes his players are making good strides. The Reds boss added: “We must keep our natural strength. This is high pressure defending, counter-attacking football, all that stuff and to bring everything on the pitch in each game is a challenge. “But we like to have this challenge so we are really optimistic about our way and in this moment four points doesn’t make it feel like everything was perfect. "Of course it wasn’t perfect, but we’re still on a good way.”

Team GB Paralympians stripped of Motability vehicles after Tory cuts, medal hopeful warns
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
British Paralympians have been stripped of their Motability vehicles by cruel Tory welfare cuts, one of Team GB’s best gold medal hopes revealed yesterday. Wheelchair-racer Ben Rowlings, 20, said Team GB pals have had to ‘fight’ for Government-funded cars after undergoing controversial fit-for-work reassessments for the new Personal Independence Payments (PIPs). The tests are carried out by hated out-sourcing giants Atos and Capita. “There have been Paralympians who have been told that they are too able to claim Motability and they have had to fight to get the cars back because they have been taken off them,” Mr Rowlings said. Mr Rowlings, 20, flies out to Rio on Saturday morning to compete for Britain in the T34 100 metres and 800 metres races. He is the British record-holder over both distances. But he admitted the fear of being stripped of his Motability vehicle plays on his mind as he needs it to get to training every day. Motability’s own figures show 44% of claimants are being forced to hand back their cars after being reassessed for the Tories’ new PIP benefit system. “It is something that’s on my mind because without the access to having my Motability car… I wouldn’t be able to get to any of the training that I do,” Mr Rowlings told the Disability News Service (DNS). “I need my car, I need the support to get me around to places, and training and work, because racing is my job, and without the support of the Motability, I wouldn’t be able to get to training.” Mr Rowling was unavailable for further comment last night. A representative said he was packing for Rio. But asked about team members who have lost their vehicles, Mr Rowlings added: “I don’t know too much about it, I haven’t spoken to them about it because that’s a personal matter for them, but it’s something I’m a little bit concerned about.” DNS said it had spoken to another Team GB wheelchair-racing star, Hannah Cockroft, who said she was “scared” that she would lose her independence when she was reassessed for PIP. Getty Team GB's Hannah Cockroft is also reportedly worried about PIP PIP reassessments have proved hugely controversial, with thousands of peopel claimign they were wrongly stripped of benefits and huge backlogs building up at the Department for Work and Pensions. The Mirror has previously revealed how a staggering 66% of adverse decisions were being overturned on appeal. Yesterday Labour leadership hopeful Owen Smith said the situation was “utterly disgraceful”. Debbie Abrahams, Labour’s Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary said, “I am appalled that our Paralympians, along with many other disabled people across the country, are losing eligibility for Motability and having specially adapted cars removed from them due to this Tory Government’s changes in assessment criteria. “Motability is an essential provision of independence for disabled people across the UK, including for our Paralympians, and it is unacceptable for the Government to promote their austerity agenda by removing such vital support.” Rex Owen Smith has branded the decision 'disgraceful' Disability charities also attacked the Government for years of brutal cuts to welfare. Michelle Mitchell, chief executive of the MS Society, told the Mirror: “This story illustrates how changes to disability benefits assessments are having a devastating impact on the lives of too many disabled people. “New figures we’ve just published suggest up to 10,000 people with MS could be at risk of losing the highest rate of mobility support.” Richard Lane, head of campaigns at disability charity Scope, said: “With the Rio Paralympics just around the corner, it’s a shame we’re talking about the negative impact of benefit changes on disabled people. “The focus should be on the power of the Games to change attitudes to disability and the achievements of our disabled athletes. “Some Paralympians, like many disabled people, rely on the Mobility scheme to work and live their lives. “Without their cars disabled people can become isolated and their transport costs will rack-up.” A spokeswoman for the Department for Work and Pensions said the accusations were “anecdotal” and insisted the number of people benefiting from Motability vehicles is actually rising. She said: “PIP decisions are made after considering all the evidence and the majority of people leaving the Motability scheme are eligible for a one-off payment of £2,000 to meet their needs.”

Statins give men better erections: Scientists find cholesterol-busting drugs can help combat erectile dysfunction
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Here is something that might give rise to a celebration... researchers have found statins can significantly improve impotence. Scientists were surprised how successful the cholesterol-busting drugs were in helping to combat erectile dysfunction. The condition is very common in older men, especially those with heart problems, for which statins are frequently prescribed. Lead researcher Dr Alexios Samentzas said: “Participants experienced a 43% improvement in their erections, the effect is around half that of sildenafil [Viagra]. This is very significant. “But the important thing is that by improving cholesterol levels, patients were also benefiting from better erections. It is a win-win. And patients do not have to take specific drugs for erectile dysfunction. “Statins work by improving blood vessels and blood flow. We hoped to see some small improvement, but it was much larger than expected.” In the study of 100 men suffering from erectile dysfunction and high cholesterol, half were put on statins for three months. The other 50 received no treatment. Researchers found patients experienced a 43% improvement in their erections All the men, who were aged between 40 and 70, then filled out a scorecard called the International Index of Erectile Function to show how things were going. The scores of those on statins were considerably better than the others. It is thought the pills may give men a boost in the bedroom by helping blood vessels dilate properly and improving blood flow to the penis. Getty The couple had sex after a month of dating Scientists from the Elpis general hospital in Athens presented their findings at the European Society of Cardiology’s annual congress in Rome. It flies in the face of fears statins contribute to impotence. The pills are unlikely to be prescribed for the condition in those without cardiovascular risk factors, at least in the near future, the researchers said. But there are plans to see if statins help impotent men who have healthy cholesterol levels. Similarly, Viagra was not originally intended to help men in the bedroom. Getty Cholesterol-busting statin drugs are helping patients with erectile dysfunction It was meant as a treatment for angina. It seemed to do very little for the heart condition but trial volunteers reported they were getting a lot of erections. There is growing evidence to suggest statins may also cut the risk of cancer and dementia. Some docs are sceptical about the pills as they can cause debilitating side effects, including muscle pain.

Faith Sobotker recorded the video in a classroom at Kambrya College in Australia where youngsters were allegedly disciplined in an assembly over their uniforms and for putting on makeup. Girls had apparently been warned that their legs were distracting boys and that skirts should cover below the knee. The pupil says in the clip: "My self-respect is doing what makes me happy. When I am hungry I eat, when I am thirsty I drink, okay? I have self-respect." YouTube / Wild The video has gone viral after it was uploaded on Faith's Facebook page "I look after myself. You can't tell me what self-respect is, what ladylike is, because we don't live in the 50s anymore. I am looking for equality." She continues: "I am looking forward to being able to show off my body without being sexualised. “I am 15 years old. You do not get to sexualise me like that, you do not get to tell me that my body is sacred, because it isn't." "Half the population are females. We're not sacred, we're not a new discovery, okay? People know that I have legs, I have knees, I have thighs, and I have periods once a month." YouTube / Wild The 15-year-old sounds wise beyond her years as she calls out sexism in society "I get angry and frustrated and I still have to deal with those boys saying, 'Omg are you on your period ?'" Faith adds that she is “sick of sexism” and wants society to change so girls can “be whatever makes them comfortable”. She concludes: “I want to know that this school has raised a society of people who treat each other with equality, with respect, no matter how they dress, how they have their hair, no matter they wear their makeup."

Rooney's current contract runs until 2019 and he wants to stay even longer Wayne Rooney insists he wants to finish his career at Manchester United. England captain Rooney, who turns 31 in October, announced on Tuesday that he will quit international football after the next World Cup in 2018. And the star, whose £300,000-a-week United contract expires in 2019, has told the Old Trafford giants he wants to end his playing days with them — although he is also desperate to carry on into his mid-30s. Rooney, already England’s leading goal-scorer and just four behind Sir Bobby Charlton’s United record, has had mega offers from China and North America's Major League Soccer. But he explained: “I’ve said to United I want to stay there, finish my career there. So it’s a case sitting down with United when the time’s right.

When I speak to them, I’ll have a better idea. I hopefully want to finish my career at United. “Going into the World Cup — hopefully we qualify! — the time will be right, it will be my 15th season playing for England, and in anyone’s terms it’s a long time, so I just felt the time would be right then.” Rooney also said he wants to become a manager, and that his decision to retire from internationals is not because of any fitness concerns. Action Images via Reuters Rooney certainly had a spring in his step after Marcus Rashford's late winner on Saturday He added: “As a player, an experienced player, I know how to manage my body through training. "I’m sure if I came here and said I felt a bit tired, I could have a day when I don’t have to train. Other players do it, so that wouldn’t be an issue. “In the grand scheme of it, I love playing for my country, I feel I can still do it. "I know if I stopped playing now, during this week I’d have two days at home, I’d be regretting it. "The time will probably be right in two years, and hopefully I can enjoy the next two years, and do a bit better. Reuters England record scorer Rooney will call a halt to his Three Lions career after Russia 2018 “I’d like to (go into management) of course. I’ve spent my whole life playing football and I think it would be a shame to walk away form it completely. “I feel I’ve got a lot of experience behind me and when I do finish playing I would like to stay in the game at some level. “I’m doing my badges – it’s a long time. But I’m doing it and I’m enjoying it. I’m just trying to get them done why I’m still playing really.”

'Drunk' co-pilot arrested moments before take-off 'found FOUR TIMES legal limit' after captain spots him acting 'strangely'

www.mirror.co.uk
The co-pilot was sitting in his seat on a Talon Air charter plane A co-pilot on a charter flight has been arrested just moments before take-off after he was allegedly found to be FOUR times the legal alcohol limit . Sean Michael Fitzgerald was about to help fly a small Talon Air charter flight from Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City, Michigan, when his captain allegedly suddenly noticed he was 'acting strangely'. The captain, Manny Ramirez, immediately called through to authorities in the airport who sent police direct to the plane on Thursday morning. Officers then arrived and found 35-year-old Fitzgerald, of Boca Raton, Florida, preparing for take-off with his headset on. Traverse City police Captain Kevin Dunklow told CBS News: "He had the strong odor of intoxicants emanating from his person. Cherry Capital Airport The plane was about to take off from Cherry Capital Airport "He had slurred speech, bloodshot watery eyes.” Fitzgerald was then taken from the plane by police who made him perform a sobriety test. A preliminary breath test allegedly showed the co-pilot had a blood-alcohol content of .30 - four times the legal limit in the state. According to police, the co-pilot was then taken to a nearby hospital where he was due to have blood taken which would then be examined to see how much alcohol exactly was in his bloodstream. News outlets in the USA claim the co-pilot was later sacked by the airline, while all passengers who had been trying to get to Bedford, Massachusetts were taken off the flight. A spokesman for Talon Air told the Detroit Free Press: "We are very proud of Captain Manny Ramirez' immediate action in detecting the co-pilot's condition and removing him from his position. "This is yet another example of Talon Air's safety procedures working effectively on behalf of our clients and for airport safety." Fitzgerald was arraigned on Friday on a misdemeanor charge and his preliminary examination is due for September 8. Mirror Online has contacted Talon Air for comment

Lily Allen was pictured slumped over her boyfriend's shoulder after collapsing during a boozy session at Notting Hill Carnival. The 31-year-old singer was pictured swigging on cider and Jack Daniels before being spotted slouching by the stage where her lover DJ Daniel London and ex boyfriend Seb Chew were performning. More shocking images show the seemingly unconscious star being held up by the DJ and a friend before Daniel was forced to lift her over his shoulder and carry her through the crowd. Two worried pals followed the singer - who had her hooded sweater pulled up over her head - to a quieter area where he laid her down and she was reportedly sick. Twitter Lily has responded to the reports An onlooker told The Sun: “It was horrifying to see her so out of control. She looked like a sack of spuds on her lover’s shoulder. This is a new low for her.” The added: "Lily had a proper ‘whitey’ - she blanked out. She’s tried hard to portray herself as a serious musician and social media commentator. This was not a good look.” Truth is I'm just a lightweight, I had 2 cans of strongbow on an empty stomach.

The star admitted she was suffering after just two cans of cider, and explained she hadn't eaten before drinking.

Despite the Geordie Shore hunk furiously denying that anything happened between them on the recent series of Ex on the Beach, Jemma has now claimed they spent the night together before that, and even involved a THREESOME. The blonde beauty alleged they got steamy together in Weston-super-Mare along with a third person, and Scotty's Geordie Shore co-star Marnie Simpson was in a next door hotel room at the time. Going into great depth on the raunchy antics, Jemma claimed to the Daily Star that they were almost interrupted when Marnie knocked on the door mid-way through. Scotty T has denied the claims Jemma has revealed all Jemma now claims to have audio footage proving the 'threesome' happened, but refused to name the third person. "On New Year's Eve [2015 going into 2016], I got with Scotty T and another girl, he is a liar," she claimed. It comes shortly after Scotty denied claims he had slept with the tattooed beauty while they filmed Ex on the Beach together, but he is yet to comment on the latest rumours. Ex On The Beach 5 Jemma in Ex On The Beach jemlucy/Instagram Jemma Lucy on Instagram Revealing details of the alleged threesome night, Jemma said she met Scotty on a night out at Club Vision with his co-star Marnie. She insisted, despite Scott apparently being "flirty" from the start, he was determined not to take things further as he's such close friend's with Jemma's Ex, Dave Hawley. As the night went on, Jemma claims Scotty took every opportunity to speak to her, whether it was at the hotel or in the club, and she even told the site he was trying to "grab her" to speak to her, before finally inviting another girl to join them. "Then this girl came over to chat with us, Scott had been asking which girl I would pick if we took one back for a threesome, and I said her," Jemma claimed. Ex On The Beach 5 Jemma is in floods of tears as the boys argue Ex On The Beach 5 Hawley was furious Ex On The Beach 5 Jemma walks off into the bedroom and throws Hawley’s clothes from the balcony "So we left, got in the taxi, him and her were kissing, then he'd kiss me, grabbing me around my waist, but then he'd keep stopping." Once back at the hotel, the girls are said to have headed to Scott's room, and he even reportedly asked them to take their heels off beforehand to avoid waking Marnie in the next room. The star claimed they soon hit the bed together, and shared intimate details of their antics - claiming Scott began paying more attention to the third girl, before moving to Jemma. However, they were soon interrupted, as Marnie knocked on the door asking Scott if he had seen Jemma, as she had heard her voice. Jemma Lucy accidentally exposes herself as she takes out the bins in see-through lingerie Ex On The Beach 5 Following a heated exchange with Hawley, Jemma storms off the beach in tears Jemma claimed she had to hide in the bathroom twice during the night, before claiming they repeatedly had sex together in between. According to the Star, Scott grew paranoid after the second interruption, and she eventually left and returned to her room. But it didn't end there, as Jemma was later confronted by her ex on the MTV show while they were filming. While the claims didn't come up straight away, she alleges that Dave eventually confronted Scott in Nando's, once they had returned from filming in Thailand, and convinced him that she had lied about the whole thing. "It was only when my best friend told him it sunk in," she added. "He knew I wouldn't lie to her." Scott's reps declined to comment when contacted by Mirror Online.

Labour shadow ministers resigned 'because they feared Jeremy Corbyn would win general election'
null

www.mirror.co.uk
Paul Mason says it was the 'last chance' for the Labour establishment to unseat Corbyn Labour shadow cabinet ministers resigned en masse because they were afraid Jeremy Corbyn would win an election, it was claimed this morning. Journalist-turned Labour activist Paul Mason said members of Mr Corbyn's top team had co-ordinated the mass walkout because they feared it was their "last chance" to unseat him before a "winnable" general election. He made the comments on the BBC's Broadcasting House programme this morning, interviewed alongside Rhea Wolfson - a member of Labour's ruling National Executive Committee (NEC). Ms Wolfson, who was elected to the NEC this month with the backing of pro-Corbyn group Momentum, agreed that an early election was winnable if Labour can mobilise the huge increase in party membership to campaign on the doorstep. The former economics editor for BBC Newsnight said: "I think Jeremy Corbyn will win. Or, let's put it this way, he will be in a position to form a government. "That, of course, is what the Labour rebels were worried about on the day after Brexit . Remember the sequence of this. It looked like there was going to be an early general election with the Tories in disarray. "I still think the Tories will be in disarray over the next few years. And I think the guardians of elite power inside the Labour party decided it was enough. "They texted each other saying 'this is our last chance, otherwise the guy has the chance of leading the party into an election and that election is winnable". He went on to suggest that although Scotland was lost to Labour, up to 20 key marginals in England and Wales could turn to Labour if they could attract Green party voters. Mr Mason denied Mr Corbyn was increasingly gaffe-prone. facebook Rhea Wolfson said it didn't matter to her whether there were seats available on Corbyn's 'ram packed' train "I don't see them as gaffes." he said, in response to the Traingate controversy. "This is just the normal knockabout that Jeremy Corbyn is going to have to get used to when he runs the country. "We haven't had a radical leader of the Labour party probably since George Lansbury. I've no doubt the press treated him the same way. We just have to get used to it." He was also asked about Mr Corbyn's claim that US Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders had sent him a message of support, which was later revealed to be untrue. He said: "There are bigger things than that with respect. To media land the train thing looks like a gaffe. To us, whatever the Daily Mail and Richard Branson and the rest of them say, it dramatises the problem of power in our society. "We've got this guy, Richard Branson, who with impunity, let's put it this way, can act outside the provisions of the law on CCTV because he owns the trains. He owns the railway. He owns 300 health franchises. People who work for him can do none of those things and those people need a party that fights for them and that's what we're trying to provide." Ms Wolfson said it "really didn't matter" to her whether there were available seats on the Virgin Train which Mr Corbyn claimed was "ram packed" She said: "In terms of whether I'm willing to trust Virgin Trains, this huge capitalist company, or whether I'm going to trust Jeremy Corbyn, I'm going to trust him before anyone else. I'm just sad that the debate became what it became instead of having a genuine conversation about the state of our railways."

From Chris Murphy 01634 686 515 A new spider the size of a mans palm with one centimetre fangs has been discovered. The terrifying beast was spotted in Queensland, Australia. Local television station ABC reports the scientist discovered 11 new species of trapdoor spider lurking on mountains and in forests around the state. They said the discovery is down to Griffith University PhD student Jeremy Wilson, in conjunction with the Queensland Museum. He tracked down new types of golden trapdoor spiders from remote parts of Cape York in the state's far north to Lamington National Park in the Gold Coast Hinterland. "Some of the bigger species I've found are about the size of your palm," he told ABC. And it doesnt get any better. He adds: "Some have fangs about one centimetre long, so if they bite you they can do serious damage." Mr Wilson told the station some of the new species could be deadly. "No-one's been bitten by a lot of these species, so we don't know, but they could have venom that can have serious consequences for humans." He said the burrow of one new species, that lives near Gympie on the Sunshine Coast, was particularly interesting. "Normally a trapdoor burrow has a door like a bath plug that sits in the hole. But the door for this species' burrow sticks up like a little turret, the lid is too big and it has little leaflets like a clover coming off the side," he said to ABC. "There has to be an evolutionary reason for them to make the burrows like this, there has to be strong pressures for them to do that because it's a lot of effort." Until now, the state had just four species of golden trapdoor spider had been identified in Queensland because they spend a lot of time under the surface. The boffin said to ABC: "Some of the species might only occur in one particular forest or mountain. So if you're going to take out a forest for commercial reasons, you could take out an entire species.

It seems a world away from the young woman who cutely dressed as a lion to propose. Now the hairdresser aims her wrecking ball at Eva, warning her that her relationship with Aidan is doomed. Then when she returns to her flat, Maria finds a burglar and is attacked. Caz, who is now sleeping rough on a bench, discovers her injured and takes control, calling the police and comforting her. Maria asks her to stay the night but the next morning tells her to find somewhere else to stay. Later, she starts to get unnerving silent phone calls. It’s Caz trying to scare her into asking her to stay. Passionate about work ITV Things get a little heated between Jenny and Johnny...

Traffic on the eastbound carriageway of the M20 motorway pass under the remaining part of the footbridge which collapsed yesterday after it was was hit by a lorry Motorists on the M20 did not want to hang about as they passed under half of a footbridge left jutting out over the road after an accident . The bridge had been carved in two when it was hit by a digger being transported on the back of a lorry on Saturday. The footbridge between junctions three and four partly collapsed shortly after noon, causing traffic chaos on the main route to the Channel Tunnel and Port of Dover in Kent. But the London-bound carriageway has fully reopened and two out of three eastbound lanes had reopened, according to Highways England. PA What remains of the M20 bridge EDDIE MITCHELL There was chaos on the motorway following the bridge collapse A 50mph limit was in place as vehicles had to travel under the remnants of the bridge left hanging over the traffic. Highways England spokeswoman Catherine Brookes said: “Safety is our top priority. While we concentrated on reopening the road as soon as possible, it was imperative this was done safely. “The 50mph speed limit is being introduced while until work to remove the rest of the footbridge is complete.

A motorcyclist in his 50s was taken to hospital in Tunbridge Wells with suspected broken ribs following the incident while the driver of the lorry was treated for shock at the scene. The crash also closed the coast-bound M26, which links the M25 London orbital with the M20.

Getty Michelle Keegan and her husband Mark Wright Reports by The Sun claimed Mark and Michelle had endured a 'turbulent' first year of marriage. Speaking to The Sun newspaper, an anonymous friend said: "It's been a turbulent first year and they've been apart much more than they've been together. Things between them are pretty volatile. When you add it up they're just not sharing time, a bed, meals, days out, or chilling together the way couples need to." But the couple hit back at the claims, with Mark's rep telling us: "This is a fabricated story from a mysterious unknown 'pal'. Yawn."

Amanda lost her long hair to chemical burns and treated what was left with Olaplex used by Kim Kardashian The mum of a teen beauty queen was left holding clumps of her hair after a DIY straightening treatment went horrifically wrong. Amanda Stewart's long blonde locks were burnt off by the chemical kit she bought from a store in the US. In panic Amanda, mum of Miss Teen Galaxy Ireland Eden McAllister, posted images online and asked the public for advice, Belfast Live reported . Amanda fears she could have been scarred for life after using the hair straightening fluid she bought in Florida. Belfast Live Amanda with daughter Eden Amanda said: "It was a mess, a total mess. I have naturally blonde hair but had colour in there too. Now anywhere where the colour was has burned off. "It literally came away in my hands. I put on the treatment and followed the instructions to the word. It all seemed to be OK until I started washing it and clump after clump just came away. "I couldn't believe it. It felt horrible and it looked worse. I washed my hair as much as I could to get rid of all the straightening fluid and was left with a mullet. "So all I could do was put what was left in a little pony tail and I reckoned I'd have to get the lot shaved off." Belfast Live Amanda's beauty queen daughter Eden McAllister Amanda, who is in her 40s, has been her teenage daughter's manager since she started entering beauty pageants. The pair had been in Florida for the Miss Galaxy Teen competition when Amanda picked up the hair solution. She said: "My hair is naturally very curly and tends to go frizzy so I wanted to get a relaxer that would work for a while. "I went to a pharmacy in Florida and asked for advice in there and was offered a stronger solution. Thankfully I went for a weaker one and decided to try it last night. Belfast Live Amanda's hair fell out in clumps "But the results were disastrous. It was silly to be honest. I shouldn't have done it myself but I trusted the pharmacy staff - she said she used the stronger solution on her own hair. I even checked to see if it was OK to use on coloured hair and they confirmed it was. "It turns out it is designed for Afro Caribbean hair and should never have been given to me to use. "I am grateful to normally have good hair because I know there are a lot of people who lose their hair to illness and medical treatments. So I have to keep things in perspective but I have learned a valuable lesson. "I have at least managed to get back a little dignity thanks to hairdresser Brenda Shankey and her team who did an amazing job with what they had to work with. I've lost a lot of hair but it will grow back thankfully."

British 'threat' to stop anti-terror advice to France in Calais Jungle spat prompts furious row
null

www.mirror.co.uk
Theresa May has been warned not to put security on the table in the Jungle camp row Tory and Labour MPs today warned Theresa May not to harm anti-terror advice to France over claims it could be threatened by the Calais Jungle camp spat. The row broke out after 'government sources' suggested Britain may stop co-operating over security if France tears up a 2003 border treaty in its bid to close the makeshift home for migrants and refugees. Politicians in France - which has Presidential elections next year - suggest the camp's inhabitants should make UK asylum claims at "hotspots" near the French coast. Today a Home Office source called the idea a "non-starter" as Home Secretary Amber Rudd met her French counterpart for security talks. But it was the claim that Britain could hold back on security in retaliation, made by government sources to the Times, that prompted fresh anger. Getty A Tory MP said the makeshift home in Calais was in the worst state he has seen Shadow Home Secretary Andy Burnham said the report at a time of terror attacks on the continent was "crass and insensitive". He added: "The same terror networks that threaten France threaten security on British streets too. "Theresa May should disown these comments without delay." Even Dover's Tory MP Charlie Elphicke, who agreed a new treaty was needed and said Jungle inhabitants should be "repatriated" to their home countries, rejected the idea. He said: "France clearly has suffered serious terrorist atrocities - we need to stand with France. "Threatening a tit for tat is not the right thing to do. What we need to do is work more closely together." Dan Kitwood Home Secretary Amber Rudd is travelling to Paris today for security talks Home Secretary Amber Rudd will meet her French counterpart Bernard Cazeneuve in Paris today and is expected to reject any move to allow UK asylum claims in France. Under the 2003 Le Touquet treaty British immigration officials can check passports in Calais and their French counterparts can do the same in Dover. The idea of scrapping it was widely blamed on right-wing electioneering in the country, including by former President Nicholas Sarkozy. Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said: "Sarkozy with his desperate little speech at Le Touquet is trying to grub around in the gutter for votes." Mr Elphicke said the Jungle camp should be shut down and inhabitants "repatriated" to nations they fled - instead of being allowed to make asylum claims from across the Channel. Calling for new boat patrols in the Channel, he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "The Jungle is the worst I've ever seen it. It is larger than it's ever been. Right-winger Nicholas Sarkozy is back on the scene in France "I spoke to lorry drivers who've been attacked with chainsaws, they've been petrol bombed, they've been attacked with machetes, their lorries have been stopped by trees. "It's a really serious situation and that's why we need to have a new treaty between Britain and France to deal with these problems once and for all. "This situation has gone on too long. It's gone on for over a decade. We need to dismantle the Calais Jungle, to set up a repatriation centre to help the vulnerable people there back to their home nations. "But most of all we need to try and get the people traffickers, who are busy attacking drivers in transit and exploiting vulnerable people in the Jungle. He added: "Allowing people to apply for asylum in Britain from France would simply make Calais an even bigger magnet. "We've got to deal with this magnet for migrants and it's not dealt with by a process in which we allow people to get into Britain."

Daniel Sturridge pulls VERY revealing facial expression after Jurgen Klopp brings on Divock Origi

www.mirror.co.uk
Daniel Sturridge is a proven goalscorer, a top striker and undoubtedly one of Liverpool's most talented players. And yet, Sturridge can't get into Jurgen Klopp's starting line-up at the moment. Why is that? Is it because Sturridge doesn't quite fit the system? Is it because Klopp favourite Roberto Firmino is currently playing so well as the lone striker? Or is it because the England man pulls faces like THESE when he realises another striker is coming off the bench ahead of him? Sturridge's face as Origi comes on instead of him #THFCvLFC pic.twitter.com/ZWLHnovZ3B — Mo 22 (@MoApaydin) August 27, 2016 During Liverpool's Premier League match at Tottenham, Klopp chose to replace Philippe Coutinho with Divock Origi after 69 minutes, with the game delicately poised at 1-0. And it just so happened that the Sky Sports cameras caught the moment Sturridge realised this was happening. Sturridge's face when Origi came on.. Don't like that. Support your teammates. #TOTLIV pic.twitter.com/c05PZgnQLF — Empire of the Kop (@empireofthekop) August 27, 2016 Just look at that face. Disgust, anger, horror… it's all in there. Ironically, Sturridge did got off the bench eventually, coming on for Sadio Mane with just two minutes of the 90 remaining. John Powell But something tells us the former Man City and Chelsea man wasn't terribly pleased with the idea of Origi getting onto the field ahead of him. Isn't that right, Daniel?

Apparently not though, considering pictures have emerged of him getting seriously intimate with new girlfriend Sofia Richie over the weekend. The Sorry singer has become so smitten with the 18-year-old over the past few weeks, that he's having a tough time keeping his hands off her. The couple were enjoying some alone time together in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on Saturday to celebrate Sofia turning 18-years-old. FameFlynet The loved-up couple showered together FameFlynet Justin and girlfriend Sofia are vacationing in Cabo San Lucas FameFlynet The couple couldn't keep their hands off each other As they soaked up the sunshine, the couple were spotted showering together outside in a bid to keep themselves cool. Sofia looked pretty in white bikini bottoms and a black top, which she paired with a hat to keep her face in the shade. At one point, Justin - who was hit by sex tape rumours last week - lifted the birthday girl into the air so she could wrap her legs around him while they shared a passionate kiss. But their romantic display didn't end there. FameFlynet Get a room, guys FameFlynet The pair got pretty intimate... FameFlynet Sofia showed off her figure in a skimpy bikini top When the young star lounged on the sofa, Justin couldn't resist going in for another snog as he positioned himself in between her legs. True to form, Justin later ended up exposing his bum yet again. The star pulled his shorts down to show off his booty completely, and didn't seem bothered about stripping off in front of Sofia and a mystery man who seemed to end their moment of passion. FameFlynet Justin got his bum out again FameFlynet He wasn't bothered about getting his kit off Justin's latest display of affection comes as he made his triumphant return to Instagram. The Love Yourself singer had warned fans he would be setting his page to private after abusive comments directed at his girlfriend , and he went one further by leaving the site altogether last week. But earlier today, Justin made his big comeback and reactivated his public profile - although he is yet to post any new content for his 77.8 million followers.

New Zealand 29-9 Australia: All Blacks retain Bledisloe Cup with comfortable Rugby Championship win

Israel Dagg scored two first-half tries as New Zealand made it back-to-back wins over defending champions Australia in the Rugby Championship. The All Blacks opened their campaign with a thumping 42-8 victory in Sydney last weekend and they produced another dominant display on home soil to ease to a 29-9 success. Dagg's brace left the world champions in control at the break in Wellington before tries from Julian Savea and Sam Cane put them out of sight. Beauden Barrett booted nine points for New Zealand while Australia could only respond through two Bernard Foley penalties and one huge kick from debutant Reece Hodge. It took only seven minutes for the All Blacks to open the scoring at the Westpac Stadium on the back of good work by scrum-half Aaron Smith. His jinking run had Australia's defence scrambling before the ball was worked out to the right, where Dagg had an easy finish from debutant Anton Lienert-Brown's popped pass. Getty Westpac Stadium before the match Getty Australian players watch New Zealand perform the Haka Australia quickly responded through a Foley penalty only for Barrett to restore New Zealand's seven-point lead after the Wallabies were penalised from the restart. Foley was given another opportunity to close the deficit - this time from close to the left touchline after New Zealand failed to roll away - and he was again on target to make it 10-6 with 20 minutes on the clock. But New Zealand came storming back once again, Barrett coasting through the Australia defence before sending a long pass out to Dagg, who cut back inside for his second try. Getty Australia's Israel Folau is tackled by New Zealand's Samuel Whitelock Barrett was off target with his conversion attempt and then missed a penalty from the right touchline, allowing Hodge to reduce the deficit to six points with a kick from inside his own half that sailed between the uprights. Australia survived a 10-minute period either side of half-time without Adam Coleman - who was sin-binned for a late shoulder charge on Ben Smith - but they were powerless to stop New Zealand crossing for their third try on 47 minutes. Barrett's long flat pass allowed Ben Smith to get on the outside of his defender and send Savea over in the corner. Getty New Zealand's Malakai Fekitoa and Sam Cane jump for the ball Barrett converted from the touchline to make it 22-9 but sent a penalty wide after Hodge had done likewise for Australia. Any hopes the Wallabies had of a comeback were extinguished when Cane powered his way over from close range and Barrett added the extras. The match became scrappy with the result settled, with Nick Phipps summing up Australia's night by knocking on over the line in the final minute.

Tomorrow is D-Day for those without a TV licence as BBC issue warning over closing iPlayer loophole

www.mirror.co.uk
Thursday is D-Day for those without a TV Licence as BBC issues last warning over the closing iPlayer loophole. Viewers will have to confirm they have a TV licence before they can catch up on shows on service from Thursday. People had been able to watch BBC shows they had missed on live TV for free, but will now risk prosecution and a £1,000 fine if they download or watch programmes on iPlayer without a TV licence on any device. Currently, only live content is covered by the £145.50-a-year licence fee and viewers must confirm they have paid before they can watch a live feed of BBC channels. This policy is being extended to shows on the catch-up service. Getty It's all change It is unclear how the new rules will be enforced, as no plans to ask viewers to enter licence fee details on iPlayer have been revealed by the BBC. Last year, the BBC announced a £150 million shortfall in licence fee income for 2016/17, saying there had been a faster-than-predicted fall in the percentage of households owning televisions because of people viewing through catch-up. The Government committed to closing the loophole, with John Whittingdale, then culture secretary, saying in March: "The BBC works on the basis that all who watch it pay for it. "Giving a free ride to those who enjoy Sherlock or Bake Off an hour, a day or a week after they are broadcast was never intended and is wrong." The Government set out plans to update licence fee legislation, as part of negotiations which saw the corporation agreeing to cover the cost of free licences for the over-75s. People who already have a TV licence will not be affected by the change and viewers will not need a TV licence to download or watch programmes on demand from other providers, such as YouTube, Netflix, ITV Hub, All 4 or Demand 5. A BBC spokesman said: "When you click to play something on BBC iPlayer, it currently asks you to confirm you've got a TV licence if you're watching something live.

The grateful chap was wondering around the Bernese Oberland area in Switzerland when he became confused. Caught up in a labyrinth of trails and needing to rest an earlier injury to his ankle he decided to take a seat on a rock - which is when his black and white saviour came along. Writing under the name Redditor sc4s2cg, he said: "I happened on this little kitty as I was exploring some of the places near my hostel. "The lifts weren't working and some of the trails were closed so what I did was follow a roundabout trail up the mountain, and then follow those ski lifts further. Imgur/starspace1 Cat saves man stuck up a mountain "I was checking my map to see how I can get back to the hostel, and the only official way down was through a trail that was closed. "And that's how I met that handsome cat. "He noticed me I was eating a snack and resting my sprained ankle, and as soon as I got up she started guiding me along some path. YouTube/Pontos78 Cat saves man stuck up a mountain "He was walking and kept looking at me to follow, led me straight to the path that would take me back down to the valley." Since sharing his story on Reddit on Friday people have fallen in love with the cat - with many believing they may have met him on their travels as well. Writing under an image he posted about his furry Sat Nav, he wrote: "Along the way he just stopped, hopped on a small boulder, and started listening for something. Imgur/sc4s2cg Cat saves man stuck up a mountain "I'm assuming his next meal. I was lucky enough to take this beautiful shot." The man was there during the end of ski season and staying at the Lauterbrunnen Hostel in 2013. Redditors believed the cat may belong to a couple called Petra and Walt who run the Mountain Hostel.

Aubrey O'Day jumps straight into bed with boyfriend Pauly D for EPIC sex marathon after CBB final

www.mirror.co.uk
She was apart from her beau for weeks while trapped in the Celebrity Big Brother house. So no wonder Aubrey O'Day jumped into bed with boyfriend Pauly D only a matter of hours after the live final on Friday night. The stunning American admitted the couple enjoyed a marathon sex session after he surprised her by being in the audience for her eviciton. "I had no idea that Pauly was going to be there. We're actually in bed now. We've s*****d about five million times," she said Saturday morning. "I utilised all of Renee's blowjob advice," she cheekily added. Channel 5 Aubrey had a very busy night Aubrey also revealed that she was extremely sexually frustrated while locked up in the CBB compound, and really missed one thing about her man in particular. "If you’re in a relationship and you get locked away in the loony bin with a bunch of crazies, you have no idea how much it makes you miss the stability and penis of the person you love," she said While Aubrey was in the house, reports surfaced that Pauly D had dumped her, but wouldn't reveal why until he had broken the news to Aubrey. Fans were then left confused when he appeared in a sweet video message to the singer and then turned up to her eviction on Friday. WENN Reunited at last Explaining the confusion, Aubrey told Daily Star Online: "It was so hard. I think it was painful most of the time but we’ve just been talking about the real experience, not the experience that was shown. “We kind of realised how sometimes in relationships when you put distance or difficult experiences in front of you, you can come out the other end so much stronger. "Distance definitely made the heart grow fonder for both of us. Now hopefully he’ll give me a ring and a cute little child.”

Spurs have offered a cut-price deal for Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko – but the France star faces being a transfer window loser. Sissoko is keen to leave Tyneside but Newcastle’s £35m asking price has knocked back interested clubs including Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Everton. Spurs are the latest to lodge their interest but only value him at HALF of United’s price tag. Sissoko has yet to play for Rafa Benitez this season and is on international duty this week. Club sources say he is most likely to still be a Newcastle player by the end of the transfer window on Wednesday. That will mean a big rehabilitation job for Benitez, who has always been keen for him to stay. Serena Taylor Newcastle have demanded £35million for the French midfielder Sissoko spoke of wanting Champions’ League action after being a star performer at the Euros. Instead he could play in the Championship against Derby in ten days. Newcastle signed Morocco left back Achraf Lazaar on Tuesday from Palermo and he said: “I am ready to play.”

Samia Ghadie on the cover of OK Samia Ghadie reportedly banned her own mother from her wedding following a family feud worthy of a soap opera plot. The Coronation Street star tied the knot with French ice skater Sylvain Longchambon at a lavish country manor bash earlier this month. But her mum Patsy, 66, was absent from the big day after the pair had a huge falling out, according to The Sun. Relations are believed to have been strained between the pair for months after they reportedly fell out over the christening of Samia's son, one-year-old Yves, last year. It is claimed Samia, 34, did not involve her mum in her wedding planning and allegedly cut her out of her hen do. The Sun claims the two women had "the mother of all rows" in June when Patsy is believed to have given Samia an ultimatum over whether she should attend the nuptials or not. PA Samia reportedly banned mum Patsy from her big day after a huge fall out Patsy reportedly confirmed to the newspaper that she did not attend, nor did Samia's brother Tariq. The actress lost her father Joseph to cancer seven years ago. On her wedding day, Samia had her six-year-old daughter Freya walk her down the aisle. Admitting she really wanted her daughter to feel involved in the wedding, she said: "Freya walked me down the aisle. "I didn't want her to give me away as she's never going to have to give me away in life, so she walked me down the aisle as Sylvain is getting Freya as well. "I wanted Freya to feel really involved in the wedding, which she was. She was really looking forward to that." OK Samia looks stunning in her ivory wedding dress Their long-awaited wedding was a lavish affair conducted in the sweeping country grounds of pop star Gary Barlow’s former home, Delamere Manor in Cheshire. But that's not originally what the couple had planned. "Up until January we were planning to get married in France. Then we decided on Delamere Manor in February, so I suppose it's been since then," Samia told OK! magazine. Sylvain added: "The people at the venue in France were being a bit cheeky so we couldn't come to an agreement. Then [the wedding planner] Julie Perry knew about this place and we loved it straight away." Mirrorpix The pair married at Gary Barlow's old house OK! The happy couple The couple exchanged vows in front of 500 close family and friends at the sprawling country manor, three years after their first meeting on the set of defunct celebrity talent show Dancing On Ice. They announced their engagement in May last year and they welcomed their first child together , Yves Joseph, in September. The couple named their little boy as a tribute to the ice dancer’s brother and his middle name after Samia’s late father. Samia also has daughter Freya from her previous marriage to property developer Matthew Smith.

But critics label him a dictator like Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin for a systematic perpetrator of human rights abuses, responsible for an estimated 40-70 million deaths through starvation, forced labour and executions. Yet Xia quoted Mao to underline the importance of the club's fans when assessing potential transfer targets. He Tweeted: “Quotation from Mao: We must have faith in the masses! Truly fans' viewpoints are even better than scouting reports!” Quotation from Mao:We must have faith in the masses!

Great Britain’s canoe slalom gold medallist Joe Clarke got back in a kayak for the first time since Rio - for his victory parade. The 23-year-old was able to let some of his home-town crowd take the strain as he was carried along by hand this time, rather than the choppy white waters of Brazil. As tradition dictates he was hoisted aloft in his kayak by canoeing colleagues along part of the route in Stone where he grew up in Staffordshire on Monday, as about 2,500 well-wishers cheered the Team GB hero on. For Clarke it marked a victorious return to Stafford and Stone Canoe Club in Westbridge Park, where he first cut his teeth in a kayak on the River Trent.

Clarke, who said he was “overwhelmed” by the turnout, said: “I’m going again and I won’t let it go again easily so, as a reigning Olympic champion, I’m going to go out there and try and repeat my success.” He added: “I don’t like losing so when I get back into training I want to be top dog again.” His nan Betty Clarke watched as her grandson was carried around the park, cheered by flag-waving revellers. The 75-year-old revealed she had once tried her hand with a canoe and an oar as a Girl Guiding leader. PA Joe Clarke celebrates gold on Rio podium She said: “I did canoe once. “I was a Guides leader and we went to the swimming baths in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and did the capsize drill. “That was enough for me.” She added: “I am so proud of him.” Following Clarke’s triumph on the water where he took gold by 0.17 seconds, the club’s members painted its letter box and flag pole gold to honour his victory. PA Clarke claimed gold in the kayak for Team GB The kayaker and former Scout only got a place in the club aged 11 after beating 60 other applicants for one of the few available slots, before breaking into the Great Britain junior team in 2009. The council held a civic reception for the town’s hero, who now trains in Nottingham, before a parade along the High Street and into West Bridge Park.

Olympic legend Mo Farah's brother faces being DEPORTED to Somalia where he fears he will be killed

www.mirror.co.uk
Thousands of proud Brits are poised to salute athletics legend Mo Farah at Olympic parades, but there’s one man who won’t be joining the cheers. Mo is set to lead Team GB heroes at celebrations in London and Manchester – and is also tipped to receive a knighthood for grabbing gold in the 5,000 and 10,000 metres at two Games running. But his younger brother Ahmed can’t enjoy or share the moment because he faces being booted out of Britain and sent back to Somalia. Ahmed, 27, was just two when he and an eight-year-old Mo were brought to Britain 25 years ago. Andy Stenning/Daily Mirror Mo Farah wins 5000m becoming double gold medallist after also winning the 10000 Now he faces being deported back to the war-torn country for crimes that landed him in jail in the UK in 2011. In a direct plea to officials planning to kick him out, Ahmed says: “I can’t go back to where Mo and I were born – it is too dangerous. "I’m scared I would end up dead. I feel there’s no hope for me. “I am afraid for my life. I have no roots in Somalia. People would kill me, because I’m different. They would not class me as their own. John Alevroyiannis/Daily Mirror Mo Farah's brother Ahmed fears for his life if he is deported “They’d see me as an outsider, somebody whose family ran away and they don’t want to welcome me back.” Ahmed’s plea comes after he was among TV millions who witnessed Mo achieve athletics immortality by winning double gold at Rio. But the brothers’ lives could barely be more different. While Mo – now based in the US – has a wife, four kids and a fortune from athletics, Ahmed lives in a high-rise West London flat, biding his time as he awaits the dreaded news he must quit the UK.

As Ahmed sat alone in the lounge of the one-bed flat, there was no trace of Mo, no pictures on display. It is just the TV set in the corner which provides a window into the life of his superstar brother. Ahmed says: “Mo and I do not see each other now or speak. Of course I am incredibly proud of what he has done and I am sure he will go on to achieve even more. But I’ve no idea what life holds for me.” Instagram Mo Farah with daughter Rhianna and wife Tania For now, Ahmed’s sole thought is survival and a desperate desire to stay in the UK. Ahmed, who lives with another brother, Mahad, 22, says: “Everyone is here for me. Who’s back in Somalia? "Nobody. I’m going to lose my family – the people I see day in, day out. That’s hard enough for me to deal with. “I’m afraid for my life. I know I’m not going to survive out there. Everything is different. John Alevroyiannis/Daily Mirror Mo Farah's brother Ahmed says he is so proud of the gold medallist's achievements “I can’t even fathom how it’s going to be. I can’t cover up my history. I’m going to be an outcast. People would attack me. “Where would I go? They’re going to take me to the airport and where would I go after that? "I’d have to walk the streets. I’ll just get attacked. People are going to detect I’m not from there – the way I talk, my swagger, everything about me. “I’m going to stick out like a sore thumb. I’m a Muslim and I pray, and I keep faith in God, but things like my tattoos are forbidden under Sharia law.” Andy Stenning/Daily Mirror Mo Farah wins 5000m becoming double gold medallist after also winning the 10000 The former warehouse worker hit rock bottom after getting a four-and-a-half-year jail sentence for false imprisonment over his involvement in a knife raid. He was released early but was later told he faces deportation due to his crimes. Legal hearings have been repeatedly delayed and the authorities have yet to tell him how or when he will be sent back to Somalia. Ahmed says of his past: “I wasn’t a horrible person. I made a hell of a mistake and now I’m paying with my life. John Alevroyiannis/Daily Mirror Mo Farah's brother Ahmed says he has turned his life around after making mistakes "My lifestyle was bad. I was hyperactive, I used to drink, but you can’t blame stuff on alcohol. I’ve just got to put my hands up and say that mistake happened, it’s never going to happen again. “Prison has made me a better person.” But the former Uxbridge College student says he has given up hope of ever seeing Mo again. He now wants to get on with his own life, find a trade and pay society back. REUTERS Mo Farah of Britain celebrates winning the Men's 5000m Final Ahmed says: “I’m a 27-year-old man who just wants to crack on with life. I’ve done my time. "Right now I’m putting on a brave face, but at times I can’t sleep. “When Mo was around he was a brother. Would I have got into the trouble I did if he was still around? "I don’t think so. He wasn’t there to tell me not to do this or not to do that.

I could never hold any grudges. "He deserves a knighthood. He’s worked hard his whole life. I’m pleased he won.” Equally concerned is younger brother Mahad, a Warehouseman. John McLellan Hassan Farah, identical twin brother of Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah in the market in his home town of Hergeisa in Somaliland He says: “If Ahmed gets deported I’m going to lose a big part of my life. “It’s so confusing, I’m here, Mo’s way up there, making whatever he’s making, and this guy’s just here, stuck here, waiting to see if he gets deported or not. "If Ahmed leaves then I don’t have a life any more. I wouldn’t be the same happy person. "My life as I know it would crumble. I don’t even want to think about life without this guy.” Daily Mirror Athlete Mo Farah competing in a cross country race at school Mo became estranged from his brothers when he moved out of the flat to live with an aunt after his athletic prowess was spotted. The brothers lost touch as the years drifted by and Ahmed and Mahad only learned of Mo’s 2010 wedding to Tania Nell in a newspaper. The couple have four children together but Mo’s relationship with many other relatives has become equally distant. His father Muktar now lives in Manchester and his mother Amran is believed to still be living in Somalia. Mo reportedly speaks to her but has not seen his father for many years. He has a twin brother – Hassan – in Somalia. Mo brought him over to the UK after the London 2012 Olympics. Then there are four other brothers – Wahib, Omar, Nimo and Ifrah, all living in the UK. But Mahad says the family struggles to keep up with the pace of Mo’s life. Getty Mo Farah doing his famous MoBot He says: “He’s got another kid now – a little boy. I found out through the media, my neighbours knew before I did. “He moves about so fast how can I catch up with that guy? I ain’t an Olympic runner. He switches up numbers all the time.” Mahad wishes Mo could save Ahmed with a word in the corridors of power, but holds little hope it would make a difference. Mahad says: “If Mo could help that would be nice. “But there are hundreds of thousands of people who need help. Just because I’ve got a famous brother it doesn’t mean Mo can just walk over and talk to Theresa May. “Life just doesn’t work like that. I wish it did. I have no idea whether Mo knows what’s going on in Ahmed’s life. “I hope he does. I wish I could ­congratulate him. But I wish he could come here and congratulate me for things I’ve done.” Despite their lack of contact, the entire family watched Mo’s triumph from the cramped council flat. Reuters Mo Farah (GBR) of Britain gestures the number four after winning the gold Mahad adds: “Seeing him trip over and get back up before finishing first in the 10,000 metres was incredible. I knew he was going to win. “Just from the look on his face before he started, I knew he was going to win. "A few people doubted it, but I knew. We were there for every race. “When he crossed the finishing line we were all happy.” But even Mo’s achievements can trigger sadness – because they highlight the lack of contact between the brothers. Mahad goes on: “He’s just trying to build his career. I understand that. But at the same time he should get in contact with his family. “He should say ‘Hello, how are you doing?’ He doesn’t even know if someone has died or not. "If I died tomorrow would he even know? Would he come to my funeral? "Because if that’s not the case then he’s nothing to me, I wouldn’t even tell people we’re related.” Calls for Mo to be knighted came after he clinched his double gold in Rio and became only the second athlete in history to defend both the 5,000m and 10,000m gold medals in successive Olympics. He is the most successful athlete in British history, having also won nine world titles, holding multiple records and being awarded the CBE after London 2012.

Challenge accepted? Why people are posting cryptic black and white photos on Facebook

www.mirror.co.uk
Gigi Hadid hasn't joined in yet but is no stranger to a black and white selfie Two years after the Ice Bucket Challenge, we're still being asked to sign up to viral challenges on Facebook - although these days they're much more subtle. Whether it's telling your Facebook friends what colour your bra is to raise awareness of breast cancer or doing 22 push ups for soldiers who suffer from PTSD, they usually come with lengthy messages explaining why they're so worthy and why you should be copying the post on your own timeline. But a new 'challenge' going viral is rather more cryptic, offering no explanation whatsoever. People have been posting black and white photos of themselves on Facebook with the caption 'challenge accepted', often tagging a friend in the comments to challenge them to do the same. On first seeing the message, you might think it's just an attention-seeking post by that girl from school you're still friends with on Facebook. Once you see a few more similar posts, you might start to think there's something going on and you're not in on it, resorting to Googling why on earth people are doing this. The problem is, this might not offer you any enlightenment either as there doesn't even seem to be a solid explanation as to its origins. Most people are saying it's to raise awareness of cancer and the idea is to fill news feeds with black and white photos to 'fight against' the disease. But it doesn't appear to be affiliated with any major charity, and donations or any sort of action aren't being encouraged either. What's more likely is that someone started it with good intentions of raising awareness and the details got lost somewhere along the way, or the reason was introduced at some point after it had gone viral. Some are sharing their photos with an explanation about why they're posting it - to 'fight against' the disease - but the message has been lost in most posts. The trend has been spreading around the world and was incredibly popular in India at the beginning of August, finally catching on in the UK in the last week. So if you're tagged, now you'll know the idea behind it. If you actually want to share a nice monochrome photo of yourself then go right ahead, but it might also be worth including a link to a charity's website at the same time. Perhaps try Macmillan Cancer Support or Cancer Research .

Twitter Rylan Clark got on the bubbles Twitter He started to get quite worried It's a good job he saw the funny side of it and didn't panic too much, or act out his dramatic crying scene with Nicole Scherzinger. He also hilariously pointed out the lift was built to take the weight of 5,050 bananas. Eventually, someone arrived to prize the door open and they were freed, leaving Rylan to explain exactly how they ended up stuck. Twitter The star was stuck for 45 minutes Instagram He pointed out how many bananas the lift could hold Rylan, 27, explained: "What can I say. I've just seen some of your comments, so thank you so much for enjoying it and being part of it. Now you may have seen tonight things took a turn for the worse. "I was stuck in a lift for 45 minutes. I'd go as far as saying 53. All I wanted was the lift operator and he wouldn't come. Luckily a runner used to work for a lift company and with the help of a broom handle saved us from our sins. "It was very touch and go at one point. The Moet ran out and we didn't know what we were gonna do.

Donald Trump to meet President of Mexico just hours before key speech on controversial immigration policy

Donald Trump is to meet with the President of Mexico, just hours before he delivers a key speech on his controversial immigration policy. Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto confirmed he will meet the Republican presidential hopeful privately in Mexico City today. Trump has been outspoken in his views on Mexican immigrants, once branding them 'drugs mules' and 'rapists'. Peña Nieto invited both Trump and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton to visit Mexico, a spokesman for the Presidency said. Getty Trump will meet with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto Trump confirmed the meeting in a tweet. He wrote: "I have accepted the invitation of President Enrique Pena Nieto, of Mexico, and look very much forward to meeting him tomorrow." I have accepted the invitation of President Enrique Pena Nieto, of Mexico, and look very much forward to meeting him tomorrow. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2016 In his speech in Arizona, Trump will detail where he stands on illegal immigration after worrying some conservative allies when he said last week he was "softening" his stance on mass deportations. Trump aides said he would reaffirm his determination to build a border wall to curtail new illegal crossings and to quickly deport illegal immigrants who have committed crimes in the United States. But the central question facing Trump was how he would treat the majority of the 11 million illegal immigrants who have set down roots in their communities and obeyed US laws, an issue that has plagued the immigration debate for years.

Iran deploys long-range Russian missiles at its Fordow uranium enrichment facility to 'protect' nuclear site

www.mirror.co.uk
The S-300 air defence system launches a missile during the International Army Games earlier this month Iran has deployed a Russian-made, long-range missile defence system to 'protect' its Fordow underground nuclear facility, it was reported today. State TV aired footage of deployment of the recently-delivered S-300 surface-to-air missile system to the uranium enrichment facility in central Iran . "Our main priority is to protect Iran's nuclear facilities under any circumstances," Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps' (IRGC) air defense force, told reporters. He added: "Today, Iran's sky is one of the most secure in the Middle East ." Wikipedia Iran reportedly deployed the missile defence system to 'protect' its Fordow underground nuclear facility (above) Iran and the six major powers reached a landmark nuclear deal in 2015 aimed at curbing the country's nuclear programme in exchange for lifting nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Tehran over its disputed nuclear work. Enrichment of uranium at the Fordow facility, around 60 miles south of Tehran, has stopped since the implementation of the nuclear deal in January. Russia, under pressure from the West, in 2010 canceled a contract to deliver S-300s to Iran. But Russian President Vladimir Putin lifted that self-imposed ban in April 2015, after an interim deal was reached between Iran and the six powers. In August, Iran said that Russia had delivered main parts of the system to the country, adding that the missile system would be completely delivered by the end of 2016. Getty Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Iranian Defence Minister Hossein Dehghan (L) stand next to the new Bavar 373 missile defence system in Tehran The IRGC's Esmaili did not say whether the system was operational, but added: "Today, Iran's sky is one of the most secure in the Middle East". Iran's top authority Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Sunday that the country's military power was for defensive purposes. "The S-300 system is a defence system not an assault one, but the Americans did their utmost to prevent Iran from getting it," Khamenei said in a speech broadcast live on state TV.

Theresa May set to 'bang heads together' in bid to end Tory feuds on Brexit
null

www.mirror.co.uk
Theresa May is preparing to read the riot act to feuding Cabinet ministers when they gather for special Brexit summit this week. The Prime Minister has ordered ministers to draw up plans ahead of Wednesday’s meeting on how they can make a success of leaving the EU . Mrs May is ready to “bang heads together” and call an end to the turf war between International Trade Secretary Liam Fox, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and Brexit Secretary David Davis. A fresh split has also emerged amid reports Chancellor Philip Hammond is resisting calls for Britain to leave the single market. Allies of Mr Hammond say he is taking a “flexible approach” but is concerned about the impact on Britain’s financial sector if we lose access to the single market. PA Brexit Secretary David Davis wants Article 50 to be triggered early in 2017 A source close to the Chancellor said he was looking maintaining access to the single market on “on a sector by sector basis”. “A key priority is going to be financial services for us. For the Germans, the automotive industry is going to be key,” the source told the Sunday Times. Other Cabinet ministers believe that leaving the market is essential if the UK is to get back control of its borders and limit migration by EU nations. But Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said Britain must retain its membership of the single market. “Britain must remain a member of the single market, not only have access to it, or our economy will suffer even more,” he said. Mrs May has said “ Brexit means Brexit” but has yet to spell out what this will mean in practice. PA Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson Wednesday’s meeting at the PM’s country retreat of Chequers, will discuss the timetable for leaving and when Britain should trigger Article 50 - the legal mechanism for a country to quit the EU. Mr Davis and Dr Fox want Mrs May to invoke Article 50 early in 2017. A Downing Street source said Brexit was “top of the in tray” for the Prime Minister as she begins her first full week back at work in Westminster after her summer holiday in Switzerland. Mrs May then flies to China for the G20 summit of world leaders where she will have her first meeting with Barack Obama since becoming PM. Meanwhile, former Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has said low-skilled migrants should only be allowed to come to Britain if there are no British workers who can do the jobs they seek.

Lee Radford hails Hull heroes on breaking Wembley hoodoo with Challenge Cup win over Warrington
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Lee Radford hailed his history makers after a Jamie Shaul try, Marc Sneyd’s boot and Danny Houghton’s heroic defence combined to end Hull FC’s Wembley hoodoo. The Black and Whites had lifted the old trophy three times before - but never at the national stadium after seven defeats and a draw there. It looked like being another day to forget when Radford’s side trailed 10-0 with just 20 minutes remaining, having failed to break down Warrington’s resolute defence. But Sneyd then provided three outstanding kicking contributions starting with a 40/20 and creating tries for Mahe Fonua and Shaul. The Wolves managed to find a late response and Ben Currie looked certain to win it for them, until Houghton came up with an iconic cover tackle that forced the ball free. Joel Ford Radford said: “I think that was his 57th tackle of the match and it’s the most important tackle in any game I’ve been involved in. “That is the epitome of the bloke. “If the England coach is watching you have to take note - that heart wins you test series. “It’s history making today. “There are so many quality teams and unbelievable players that haven’t achieved what we’ve achieved today. “You can’t manufacture the chemistry and friendship within the team. “We’ve talked about it all year and been mocked by some people - but that togetherness won us a cup final.” PA Sneyd was handed the Lance Todd Trophy for his performance - a far cry from when he was substituted in the first half of Castleford’s defeat to Leeds two years ago. Sneyd said: “The difference is out of this world. “I’m not the only one here that’s felt a loss here before - last time we couldn’t wait to get upstairs and throw a bottle of wine down our necks. “This is miles different.” The memorable finale looked a remote possibility on the hour mark, with Warrington 10 points ahead and Hull rarely having threatened. It took almost 34 minutes for the deadlock to be broken, and it came from an interception. PA Chris Sandow picked off Frank Pritchard’s pass and looked a certain scorer as he hared up field. But Shaul someone made up the 10-metre start he gave him to drag him down just short, only for Matty Russell to force his way over on the next play. Kurt Gidley added the simple conversion but crucially couldn’t do the same with a straight-forward early second half penalty. Still, the Wolves looked probable winners when the outstanding Daryl Clark split the Hull defence and Currie supported to score. Then Sneyd stepped forward. His 40/20 immediately changed the flow of the game, and moments later it was his kick that was superbly finished by Fonua. PA Sneyd’s boot undid Warrington again with seven minutes remaining, as Fonua knocked back another pinpoint kick and the scrum-half sent Shaul racing over. The Wolves hauled themselves off the canvass for one last effort, only for Houghton’s stunning effort to deny them. Warrington coach Tony Smith said: “For him to come out with a game saving tackle after playing 80 minutes is outstanding. Getty “It hurts - it can be a game of inches and that’s how it was today. “But it was a fantastic game of rugby league - it had drama, intensity and some outstanding kicking games. “We’d been after a close contest and a spectacle at this stadium and both teams delivered.”

As revealed by Mirror Football, the German club are keen to take the South Korean star back to the Bundesliga. Son signed a five-year deal to move to White Hart Lane from Bayer Leverkusen only last summer. But it is understood Spurs are willing to listen to offers for him as boss Mauricio Pochettino reshapes his attack. Leicester and Everton are also interested. Spurs are seeking a profit on their £22million outlay 12 months ago with Pochettino interested in an audacious move for Real Madrid star Isco. Getty Images Spurs want to offload Son... Getty ... and replace him with Real Madrid attacker Isco Son has not yet played for Spurs at all this season because of his involvement with his country’s national team at the Olympics in Rio. South Korea were beaten in the tournament at the quarter-final stage. Son's potential departure comes after Pochettino offloaded forward Nacer Chadli, with midfielder Ryan Mason set to follow the Belgian out of the north London club. West Brom have signed Chadli for £13million, while Hull and Sunderland have an interest in an £8million deal for Mason.

Philip Green branded a 'complete bastard' by furious staff as final BHS closes

www.mirror.co.uk
Retailer Philip Green speaks before Parliament's business select committee on the collapse of British Home Stores which he used to own, in London, Britain Former BHS owner Sir Philip Green has been branded a “complete bastard” as the high street chain’s final stores prepared to close. Sir Philip’s £100million superyacht Lionheart was still cruising the Mediterranean when the 88-year-old brand sank with the loss of 11,000 jobs and a £571million black hole in its pension fund. But the billionaire faces being hauled back to answer questions from the Serious Fraud Office. MPs have already called for him to be stripped of his knighthood. As Sir Philip came under fresh pressure last night to plug the pension shortfall, which has put the retirement incomes of 22,000 former staff at risk, he was slammed by a veteran BHS employee. Splash Sir Philip Green aboard his yacht Lionheart in Greece The worker at the Wood Green store in North London, said: “We’re all very sad. We’ve had customers saying how sorry for us they are and how much they’ll miss it. “Philip Green is a complete bastard.” The supervisor, who had worked at BHS for more than 20 years, added: “Philip Green could at least be here when his company goes under, instead of sunning himself while we’re choking back tears.” She spoke out as it emerged that tycoon Sir Philip, who is already being investigated by MPs and the Pension Regulator, could end up paying less than half the pension deficit. A proposed deal falls short of politicians’ demands that he should plug the entire shortfall from his personal fortune. The final BHS store is to close The Pension Regulator is believed to have broadened its inquiry and is looking at movement of assets within Sir Philip’s empire since he bought BHS in 2000. Sir Philip, 64, sold BHS for £1 to three-times bankrupt Dominic Chappell 13 months before the retailer went into administration in April. The Serious Fraud Office probe follows claims relating to the sale to former racing driver Mr Chappell, who had no experience in retail. Labour MP Frank Field, who has led the parliamentary inquiry, believes a decision will be taken next month on whether to launch a full scale criminal investigation into the collapse.

An MPs’ report last month found Sir Philip “systematically extracted hundreds of millions of pounds from BHS”. A spokesman for the Serious Fraud Office said: “If the director considers there are reasonable grounds to suspect serious or complex fraud, he will open a criminal investigation.”

Matilda Hatton, aged seven, from Walsall, has Sensenbrenner Syndrome. The disease means she has morphic facial features, shorter limbs and grows at a slower rate than other children. She was born with only 30 per cent kidney function and her liver was also abnormal. Over the years she has had a kidney transplant, and been fed via a tube because she struggles to swallow food. SWNS Matilda Hatton suffers from Sensenbrenner Syndrome Little is known about the condition, reports the Birmingham Mail. Her parents Les, 57, and Michelle, 38, who is Matilda’s full-time carer, know of only one other sufferer - in Canada. Les, who is also a carer for his nephew, said: “We’d been warned not to look on the internet, but we did. "We’ve read so many horror stories, but we’ve had to try and ignore them. It’s so important to think positively. “During that time when they didn’t know what was wrong with her, we were just living each day as it went. “The doctors just didn’t know what was going to happen with her and they thought she would be on dialysis soon after her birth because of her kidney function. SWNS Brave Matilda with her parents Michelle and Les SWNS Over the years she has had a kidney transplant, and been fed via a tube “Yet she didn’t need dialysis until she was four years old, and then two years later she had her transplant. “We thought she’d be able to eat solid food afterwards, but she still doesn’t. She tends to put things in her mouth chew it and then take it out. “She does the same with sweets and chocolates.” Days after Matilda was born she was rushed from Stafford Hospital to Birmingham Children’s Hospital, where she has received treatment and has been monitored ever since. It was there that doctors finally told Les and Michelle that they believed their daughter had Sensenbrenner Syndrome. They were told there were only around 20 sufferers recorded since 1975. Michelle added: “A woman from Canada messaged us one evening to say her child also had Sensenbrenner Syndrome. SWNS Days after Matilda was born she was rushed to Birmingham Children’s Hospital SWNS Matilda doesn’t let her illness get in the way of things "It was such a relief to hear there was someone else out there. Her little girl looks the spitting image of Matty. "They were told she wouldn’t survive and there was nothing that could be done. "I think it gave them hope and reassured them that they weren’t alone." She explained: “Our little girl is bubbly and active and she doesn’t let her illness get in the way of things. "She loves going to school, and mixes with all the other kids. She puts up a front fighting off any tiredness she gets from the condition. "But it does eventually takes its’ toll.” Now Matilda is part of the Star Appeal by Birmingham Children’s Hospital, which is aiming to raise £3.65 million to fund a rare diseases centre at the site. SWNS Matilda after she was born Her picture will go up in Victoria Square along with 11 other youngsters who are also suffering from a wide range of uncommon conditions next month as part of a fundraising exhibition. For Matilda’s family a new Rare Diseases Centre would be incredible. It would help them to “navigate the healthcare system” and find the answers, information and medical developments they have been searching for all of Matilda’s life. “It will less time spent in hospital, which is great as we will have more time to live a normal life," added Les.

Search by helicopter and lifeboats being carried out for a swimmer reported missing A major search has been launched for a missing swimmer at Camber Sands just days after five men drowned at the beach. It comes 24 hours after it was announced that lifeguards were being sent to patrol the beach for rest of the summer where five young friends drowned. The RNLI confirmed that a search had been launched after a member of the public reported seeing a woman diving into the sea at 8am and appearing to no return. Sussex Police added that the eyewitness raised the alarm after seeing an abandoned pair of flip flops next to the water. A spokeswoman for the force said: "Officers are at the scene doing coastal checks to see if any person swimming there is having difficulties." The bank holiday RNLI service at Camber Sands, near Rye in East Sussex, is designed to “reassure the public and advise on safety”, said council officials. It follows the deaths on Wednesday of Nitharsan Ravi, 22, Inthushan Sriskantharasa, 23, Kurushanth Srithavarajah, 27, and brothers Kobi Nathan, 21, and Kenigan, 19, – all from London.

Georgia and Giovanni, who finished as runners-up to The Wanted's Jay McGuinness, were later spotted sharing a kiss during a a New Year trip to Disneyland Paris. georgiamay112/Instagram George May Foote at Disneyland on Instagram A show source said: “Georgia was very fond of Sean and she cared for him deeply, but he found it difficult to get over the close friendship she had with Giovanni." Georgia and Giovanni later confirmed they were moving in together after a month of dating, with the brunette beauty saying the dancing pro was "the best thing that had ever happened to her". In April rumours of an engagement started to swirl when Georgia was spotted with a shiny ring on her wedding finger. The pair later clarified it was just a commitment band. Instagram The pair had everybody talking Dave J Hogan Together on the Strictly tour Earlier this month Georgia admitted she was anxious about seeing Giovanni with other women when the dancing show starts up again next month.

Manchester City fans may have seen the back of Samir Nasri Samir Nasri admits he could quit Manchester City before the transfer window closes on Wednesday. Nasri is considering his options because of a lack of action at City and his substitute appearance in Sunday's 3-1 win over West Ham was the first time Pep Guardiola named him in his squad. The French playmaker, who cost £24million from Arsenal five years ago, is wanted on loan by Besiktas and he says he is mulling over his future. Nasri, 29, told French channel SFR Sport: "Yes, there could still be movement. It depends on a lot of things in fact. "There's been a lot of speculation. Things that are true. Things that are false too because they've never shown me the door or anything like that. Reuters Nasri made a cameo appearance during Man City's win on Sunday over West Ham "But I said everything depends on what's up there [in your head] and your desire. So we'll see. We're going to sit down, discuss it and see what's to be done." Guardiola claims Nasri arrived overweight for pre-season, but says he can stay because he has knuckled down in training. Action Images via Reuters Nari admits he could leave the Etihad Stadium before Deadline Day The City boss said: "Yeah, it depends on the player, but he can play. "Samir arrived overweight but after one week, 10 days, it was fantastic how he trained, how he competed. "His quality is on another level, but it depends on him. If you want to help us, want to stay, want to be part of something, it depends on him, not me."

Louis Walsh on his return to the X Factor: ‘Nobody adores me, I don’t want knickers thrown at me'

www.mirror.co.uk
If you look like a pop star, sound like a pop star and are an actual pop star, chances are you’ve met Louis Walsh at some point over the past 12 years. If, like us, you haven’t got talent (or a sob story), you’ll be thrilled to hear that Louis is just as accommodating to us folk too. We’re greeted with excessive air kisses and hugs when we meet him in his home town of Dublin, and he exclaims straight away that he’s "desperate for a gossip". His food arrives – sausage sandwich with the crusts cut off – and he insists we are fed and watered. He even frets over our taxi back to the airport. And how stressful our journey must have been. In short, it’s a bit like meeting up with your nana. If she was really bitchy and mischievous. Last year, our Louis was kicked to the kerb for a new panel of hipster judges on the show that made him a star – The X Factor. Chezza, Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw took to the stage, but the ratings hit an all-time low. Simon and Louis have known each other for 20 years Louis’ clownish ways and one liners ("You remind me of a young Lenny Henry", "You got soul", etc) were sorely missed. Simon Cowell needed him. So, last night he was back. Along with BFF Sharon Osbourne and schamazing Nicole Scherzinger. And he’s promising fireworks. "Ask me anything," he says with trademark table-smacking. So Louis, it’s time. To face. The music! What on earth did you do with yourself during last year’s X Factor? I watched Strictly. And one episode of X Factor then I turned it off, because I knew it wasn’t going to be what they wanted it to be. I went to Miami on holiday. I enjoyed my life. Were you upset you didn’t get asked back? I was kind of expecting it. I’d had a good run. And nobody ‘leaves’ The X Factor. They just told me they didn’t want me back. So did Simon call you with his tail between his legs, begging for you back? No, it wasn’t like that. I just wanted my job back. We’re friends, I’ve known him 20 years. If he needs me to be the court jester, then I can do that. I don’t mind. I don’t mind if people are laughing at me, as long as they’re laughing. And getting Sharon and Nicole back was your doing? Yes. Simon wasn’t jumping up and down about it, but I knew if he got to know Sharon they would become great friends and they have. Rita Ora wanted to do it again and we do like Rita and she has nice style, but Sharon and I wanted Nicole. Simon is just the headmaster. Louis and Cheryl Why do you have such a turbulent relationship with ex-judge Cheryl? She’s fine. She was good the first year she did X Factor. I just tell it like it is, and I just think she should go and make some music. It’s about time she had a hit record. It’s rumoured she’s recording with Justin Bieber… Oh, is she? Good. Couldn’t they have got somebody who could really sing? Anyway, she will be very happy with Liam I’m sure. Did you miss the fame side of things being off screen? I don’t like that element at all, but it’s part of the game. Of course sometimes it gets me down. It took me a long time to settle in. I wasn’t a household name like Sharon or Simon when the show started. I’m not on Twitter, I never look to see what people are saying about me. There is nowhere to hide sometimes. Is that why you try and live out of the spotlight? It’s nice living in Dublin because I’m not bothered, ever. Nobody cares. I’m left alone. There’s no celebrity stuff and I’m in full control of my life. I just do my best at work. Even when Simon throws me under the bus… Video loading Watch next Watch this video again Watch Next Click to play Tap to play The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video Which he does a lot? Yes. For TV drama. The Oscar goes to Simon. For Best Supporting Actress in a leading role. He seems naughty… He is, but I know how it works with him by now. A lot of people are scared of him, but I’m not at all. He got everybody in Wembley to heckle me once. Really booing me! It would have affected me a few years ago, but now I don’t care. But he does make me laugh. Especially those clothes, come on. The jeans and the high heels? I just wear my normal clothes on screen. How normal is life for Louis Walsh? Late mornings and late nights. I stay up all night watching TV. How late do you get up? [Sheepishly] 12 in the afternoon. I’m a TV addict. I’m addicted to CBS and FOX. Box sets are my life. I love Ray Donovan. He’s the best by far. Oh, and Nurse Jackie. ITV Louis at his judge's house in Bermuda with Tulisa in 2014 Do you buy your own groceries? Yes. Honestly. Do you do your own chores? Yep. I don’t have a cleaning lady. But don’t you live in a castle?! No, I don’t. I have a house now. So what happened to the castle? I never properly lived in a castle. I filmed in about four castles for Judges’ Houses. But you know who does live in a castle? Enya. OK. So you live in a house… A normal house too. I have electricity, running water. All of it. Me in a castle must have been convincing. We went to a horrible one with Shane Filan. It was haunted. Castles aren’t nice places. Look, they’re very old. They’re hard to heat. They’re just not nice. You know that, don’t you? The only castle I went to that I liked was Buckingham Palace. Rex Louis in 1995 What are your adoring public like? Nobody adores me! I’m a small part in a big show. But I don’t want any knickers. No thanks. Do you get lots of freebies now? I get sent creams for my face. I don’t use them, though. My skin is all my own, you know. And I only use water. No other help? Not as much as the other two. I’ve never done botox. Around my eyes I’ve had sorted, yes. And a hair transplant I had done. But Sharon, Simon and I look younger now than we did in the first series. Simon has botox in his dressing room. And a vitamin drip. He’s needy. And very health conscious. He’s definitely mellowed a bit. Since having baby Eric? Probably. He likes Eric. He likes him. He might love Eric… Yes, he loves Eric. And Lauren. She has made a positive change in his life, she’s tamed him. Make sure you keep that in. Julian Hamilton/Daily Mirror Louis at the X-Factor auditions Will Sinitta be making an appearance? Oh, probably. I saw her at a party a few weeks ago. She got drunk. She was smashed. Do you like a party? [Looks horrified] No. Partying is the most over-rated thing in the whole world. It just means you go and get drunk. And you’re not a fan? I don’t really like drink. I know I’ve toured with bands, but nothing rock ’n’ roll. I’m not into drugs. But I don’t mind a Jack Daniel’s and Coke. My close friends have only seen me drunk twice. It involved neat vodka. So you dip your toe in the odd party? Occasionally. But it’s just gathering up people who are drinking, being fake. There’s so much bullsh*t to celebrities. There are so many fake ones. Who’s the fakest? There are too many thousands to mention. The celebrities I’m working with I genuinely like, other than that, no one. Are you ever going to retire? No. My life is great. I know I’m lucky. I just have a great time and call it work. But if I don’t get asked again, I am prepared. It is just a job. I’m just being honest about it. Is there anything you haven’t told us that might surprise us? I’m older than I look. And I’m Irish. Louis judges his fellow judges… Syco/Thames/Dymond This year's X Factor judges line-up: Louis, Sharon, Nicole and Simon Sharon The best thing about her is her heart. She is fiercely loyal. And how much does her new face suit her? It’s her best face yet now she’s settled into it. A negative? You don’t want to get on the wrong side of her. Honestly. Nicole I just genuinely adore her. Did you know she can impersonate any sound? Incredible. She used to dress up as a cat, though. I said to her, "You can dress as a cat and sing one f**king song on stage in 20 years’ time! Don’t do it now." Also her choice of boyfriends is bad. Terrible. Simon The first day I met him I thought, "This is a strange man, but I like him." I have never known anyone who genuinely calls everyone darling. He is hilarious. His punctuality is awful, though. He is always late. The X Factor is on tonight, ITV, 8pm
