Newly-single Giovanni Pernice was all smiles at the Strictly Come Dancing 2016 launch
Newly-single Giovanni Pernice was all smiles at the Strictly Come Dancing 2016 launch tonight.
Despite breaking up with girlfriend Georgia May Foote just a few days ago, the professional dancer was able to put on a brave face as he joined the star-studded line-up on the red carpet at London's Elstree Studios.
Opening up about the new series, he said: "And here I am !! The best place in the world @bbcstrictly can't wait to start a new journey!! #excited."
However, the evening undoubtedly brought back memories for the ballroom pro as he met Georgia this time last year at the Strictly launch, just before they were paired up.

"We both have very busy work schedules for the rest of the year so we are both going to focus on our upcoming work projects and we wish each other well for the future."

An innocent black homeowner has been shot by police after he called them over an armed carjacker .
Air Force veteran Carl Williams, 48, rang police in the early hours of Tuesday morning after a man pointed a rifle at his wife and stole her car.
But a policeman, named as Officer Christopher Mills, then shot Williams, who was carrying a pistol, once in the stomach after mistaking him for the criminal.
Williams, who has worked in the postal service in Indianapolis for 16 years, is now recovering at home.
He told ABC News : "Only thing I can remember is intense pain, falling on the ground and telling the police officers 'I am the homeowner, why did you shoot me?'"
abc Williams, who has worked for the postal service in Indianapolis for 16 years, is now recovering at home
"I expected the police to come help us, I didn't want to take justice into my own hands, that's the wrong thing to do."
Indianapolis Police authorities have confirmed the officer mistook Williams for the robber and said the officer involved is now under investigation.
Williams' lawyer lawyer Richard Hailey said in a statement sent to the New York Daily News : “With eight years in the military serving our country as a military police officer, Mr Williams is in a unique position to understand the challenges faced by our men and women in blue but he also recognizes that training and caution are the key to avoiding unintended tragedies.”
Williams and his wife celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary only three days before he was shot.
There have been no arrests following the carjacking.

BBC tell Cliff Richard they WON'T be rolling over in £1million legal fight
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

BBC bosses have told Sir Cliff Richard they will not be rolling over in their £1m legal fight with him.
The legendary singer is suing the corporation following their infamous decision to screen a live broadcast of the moment police officers raided his home two years ago.
Sir Cliff - who is set to start a new week-long run of performances onboard a Mediterranean cruise ship - instructed lawyers to take action after accusing the tax-payer funded broadcaster of “misuse of private information”.
But the Sunday Mirror can today reveal the BBC has now responded to Cliff’s lawyers maintaining their decision was justified as they claim showing the footage was in the public interest.

The Beeb has also made clear that the decision was signed off by a number of senior bosses, who all agreed the decision to screen the raid was correct.
And they have said that insiders had three days notice and three days of consultation to “the highest level” of the Corporation, before deciding to break the now infamous exclusive.
Our new information indicates that BBC bosses appear determined to fight Sir Cliff’s claims - meaning he faces a long battle ahead.
BBC Police arriving at the home of Sir Cliff Richard near Sunningdale, Berkshire
The insider told the Sunday Mirror: “The BBC have told Sir Cliff’s team that they are in no doubt everything was done by the book.
“They have said that the journalist who was given the story at the BBC went to the head of news, who contacted BBC legal and head of legal and even consulted an external media lawyer to clarify their position.
“This took three full days. It was not a spur of the moment thing to broadcast the raid.
"It was planned and strategic for the entire broadcast of the story.
Phil Harris/Daily Mirror Cliff Richard is launching legal action against the BBC
“The BBC are steadfast that this is a public interest story and they were only following a legitimate tip off from a national constabulary.”
The raid in August 2014 sparked two years of Hell for the singer, before he was eventually told he would not face police prosecution over child abuse claims.
The developments could be a fresh setback for Sir Cliff, who is estimated to have already spend “hundreds of thousands” on legal fees.
But the insider added Sir Cliff is still intent on going “all guns blazing” for South Yorkshire Police in a separate action.
Andy Commins/Daily Mirror Cliff Richard is also apparently intent on launching a similar action against South Yorkshire Police
The under-fire constabulary’s officers raided the star’s Berkshire mansion after a man came forward to say he had been abused by him at a Christian rally in Sheffield in 1985.
“They caused all of this mess in the first place,” the source added.
Sir Cliff swiftly launched his bid to sue the BBC after he was cleared by police on June 16.
He had spent 22 months in legal limbo.
A planned LP release was put on hold, and the singer picked up an illness which he feared would kill him and he believes was brought on by stress.
But loyal fans refused to turn their back on the star, who had a sell out UK tour to mark his 75th birthday.

Police eventually dropped the case after admitting they were unable to substantiate claims the alleged victim made of abuse by Sir Cliff at Sheffield United’s Brammall Lane soccer stadium in 1985.
Cliff has always vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
Several other alleged victims came forward after the raid footage was aired. But not one case stood up to scrutiny.
The Sunday Mirror later exclusively revealed one of Sir Cliff’s accusers had previously been held on suspicion of attempting to blackmail the pop singer.
Another unnamed accuser, it emerged, was reportedly one of Britain’s worst serial rapists.
Sir Cliff has a five decade association with the BBC, including appearing on the first ever episode of Top of the Pops in 1964.

He was on a high after being crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2016 - and there was only one person Stephen Bear wanted to celebrate with.
The Ex On The Beach star made a beeline for Chloe Khan after he was greeted by huge applause and cheers as he made his way out of the house and down the staircase.
Giving Heavy D a quick high-five, he soon brushed him off after spotting Chloe making her way towards him.
Leaning over the railings to get close to his big-breasted 'friend with benefits', Bear planted a huge kiss on Chloe's lips, much to her delight, before heading off to be interviewed by Emma Willis.
But who knows what the future holds for the horny pair after Bear denied Chloe was his girlfriend during a heated chat with Renee Graziano in the house.

After Renee offered Bear a pair of Chloe's knickers that she had left in the house, asking him if he will return them to her, Bear didn't seem too enthusiastic.
Channel 5 Bear chatted to Emma
"You might want to take them home to her," Renee said.
When Bear asked who she meant, Renee replied: "Your girlfriend."
But Bear told her: "If she left them here, then leave them here. You do care a lot about my business Renee, don't you?"

Hitting back, Renee told him: "If you were in here and saying you were my boyfriend, then left my clothes behind, I'd be pretty damn p***** off."
Bear then told her: "Well I didn't use the words 'girlfriend and boyfriend' so technically we're not. I don't make quick jumps into relationships."

China's own 'Jack The Ripper' who killed and mutilated 11 females captured after 30-year mystery

A serial killer dubbed "China's Jack The Ripper " has seemingly been caught after a 15-year murder spree in which he raped and mutilated 11 females, including an eight-year-old girl.
Gao Chengyong, 52, confessed to the killings after being arrested at the grocery store he ran with his wife in the north-west province of Gansu, according to China Daily.
Did Jack the Ripper escape London to carrying on his brutal killings in Yorkshire?
CEN Gao Chengyong is suspected of being China's 'Jack The Ripper'
His confession potentially brings to an end a 28-year-old mystery after 11 victims were brutally murdered between 1988 and 2002 in Gansu and neighbouring Inner Mongolia.
Gao is alleged to have targeted women dressed in red, following them home or luring them back to his grocery story, where he raped and killed them, usually by slitting their throat.
The killings were first linked back in 2004, and were compared to London's Jack The Ripper murders due to the fact some of the victims had been badly mutilated with their reproductive organs removed.
CEN Gao Chengyong being arrested
'Russian Ripper' believed to have murdered at least 17 prostitutes arrested after 18-year manhunt
One victim, Cui Jinping, was found dead at her apartment with her throat slit.
She had been stabbed 22 times and her breasts, hands and ears had been removed.
It was a re-examination of DNA and biological evidence that led police to Gao's capture, state broadcaster CCTV said.
A relative of the suspect was put under house arrest over a separate, minor crime and had his DNA taken.
The results found a match with the so-called "Ripper", leading them to Gao.

Creepy footage of Gao's now closed grocery store was released after his arrest on Saturday, August 27.
Police investigating the murders in 2004 said the suspect "has a sexual perversion and hates women", although it is unclear why the killer suddenly stopped in 2002.

It's time for Wayne Rooney to be selfish, says former England skipper Shearer
Alan Shearer quit England when he was 29 in a bid to extend his glittering career at at Newcastle United - and he believes Wayne Rooney should do the same.
While Rooney delivered the assist for young gun Marcus Rashford's winner for Manchester United against Hull on Saturday, competition is fiercer than ever for his club position.
The incumbent Three Lions skipper was named in Sam Allardyce's first national team squad on Sunday, albeit as a midfielder, and is expected to keep the arm band when the players and staff meet next week.
But Shearer writes in his column in The Sun that while Rooney still has plenty to offer, he should be selfish and hang up the boots during international break.
"It is time for Rooney to be selfish and start thinking just about himself. "And that, I really regret to say, means his retirement from international football," Shearer tells The Sun.
Getty Images Alan Shearer quit England to player longer for Newcastle United due a series of injuries
"I don’t say this in the belief that he is no longer good enough for England — he is.
"But he is 30 now and captaining your club and country, satisfying the demand to play at the top level for both, gets harder."

A mental health nurse accused of raping three female prisoners told a colleague he was checking an inmate's make-up when she found them alone in a room, a jury heard.
Peter Barrowman denies raping three inmates in 2014, and indecently assaulting a fourth at HMP Cornton Vale between 2009 and 2010.
He also denies supplying drugs to prisoners.
Prison officer Janine Hunter, 40, told the trial Barrowman, 35, was “hyper”, the Daily Record reported .
Hunter told the High Court in Glasgow that Barrowman came into Ross House in the prison on March 6, 2014 on his day off.

She said she saw him take the woman he is accused of assaulting and later threatening into a nurse’s room and shut the door. She went in 10 minutes later.
Hunter said: “He was a bit flustered. He was standing between her legs. He said he was checking her foundation.
“I said, ‘From where I’m standing, her make-up looks OK’ and asked her if she was all right.”
She said Barrowman, of Stenhousemuir, was “hyper and avoided eye contact”.
The trial continues.

A major search is under way in Tyne and Wear for a missing teenager
A teenager who went missing while swimming in a UK river with a pal has been pulled from the water and rushed to hospital, it is reported.
The 17-year-boy, who has not been identified, is believed to have been in a dinghy with three friends when he climbed out to swim this afternoon.
He and another boy, also 17, were seen in the water at the mouth of the River Wear, near the Old Pier at Sunderland Yacht Club, at around 3.20pm.
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. Shortly before 5.30pm, it was reported that the boy had been pulled from the water.
He has been taken to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary, where his condition is currently unknown, BBC Newcastle reports.
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 wereinvolved in the hunt for the teenager.
As news of the search spread this afternoon, reporters and residents were taking to social media to share photos of emergency crews at the scene.
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 comes 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.

Paris Jackson 'reconnects with mum Debbie Rowe after she's diagnosed with breast cancer'

Paris Jackson has reconnected to her mum Debbie Rowe after she was diagnosed with breast cancer recently, it has been claimed.
The pair have had a rocky relationship and reportedly hadn't spoken for over a year, but now the 18-year-old is said to have reached out in a show of support.
According to TMZ , Paris "has been spending time with her mom", and they have even visited each other at their homes.
The site claims they have been texting "a lot", and Paris is keen to support her mum as she's due to start chemo next month.

It comes after Paris was claimed to have cut all contact with her mum two years ago, even deleting her from social media.
But could their rift have been mended at last? We have contacted Debbie's reps for comment.
Former nurse Debbie - who was married to the late King of Pop for three years until 1999 - was reportedly diagnosed with the disease earlier this year.

TMZ reported at the time that Debbie's 18-year-old daughter Paris - from her marriage to the Thriller legend - had no idea about what was going on after breaking off contract.
In May earlier this year, the pair's relationship appeared to be strained when the teenager stopped following her mum on social media.
Responding on Facebook, Debbie said at the time: "One of the saddest things in this world is to see a child grow up hating one of their parents because they only got one side of the story."

Sex, drugs, whisky and rude jokes: The scandalous secrets of Queen Victoria revealed
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

She famously reigned over an era of restraint and prudishness... but behind palace doors Queen Victoria had anything but Victorian values.
The much-anticipated new ITV drama Victoria starring Doctor Who star Jenna Coleman shows how the young queen harboured steamy desires.
But though she unquestionably loved sex, it wasn’t the only characteristic which contrasted with her po-faced portraits.
The queen, infamous for reportedly saying: “We are not amused” (though she later denied it) was said to be a scream, even enjoying booze and drugs.
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
Here we take a look at the Old Queen’s lighter side.
Sex
Prince Albert caught the eye of Victoria when he went commando.
Aged just 20 she wrote in her diary: “How handsome Albert looks in his white cashmere breaches with nothing on underneath.”
She married him shortly afterwards.
This was the, um, member of the royal family after whom the very personal Prince Albert piercing was named.
In the 1970s body piercer Doug Malloy claimed Albert needed it to support his impressive asset and stop it showing in tight trousers. Sadly, there is no proof of this.
Getty Prince Albert and Queen Victoria
After marrying in 1840 the royal couple installed a button in the bedroom of Osborne House, their retreat on the Isle of Wight.
When pressed it instantly bolted all the doors. They used it frequently, romping for hours without the threat of servants interrupting.
The couple’s sex drive stayed on the boil. When, aged 38, Victoria’s doctor warned against having a tenth child she begged him: “Am I not to have any more fun in bed?”
She was said to appreciate men so much that in 1885, when homosexuality was criminalised, it affected only gay men not lesbians because the queen could not conceive how women could find other women attractive.
Drugs and rock 'n roll
In an era when drug dens were haunted by hopeless addicts, Victoria’s medicine cabinet contained opium which was sold as a painkiller.
It would also have included laudanum – opium dissolved in alcohol and seen as a cure for everything from coughing, diarrhoea and pain to heart disease.
But the queen’s favourite drug, however, was a certain chewing gum claiming to be “a powerful tonic to the muscular and nervous system”.
Getty Victoria's favourite drug contained cocaine
That’s because it contained cocaine. She shared her coke-laced treat with future Prime Minister Winston Churchill , right, when he was a guest at Balmoral.
Victoria is also believed to have taken marijuana to ease menstrual cramps and got high on chloroform during childbirth, describing it as “delightful beyond measure”.
Winston Churchill shared drinks with Queen Victoria
There are even claims she wrote an anonymous review for a popular Victorian drink called Vin Mariani – a mixture of alcohol and cocaine.
To be fair, Popes drank it in the 1900s and the tonic received a gold medal from the Vatican.
As a young princess Victoria would often stay up drinking into the small hours as she attended high-society balls as well as circuses and bawdy pantos.
Her love of booze continued beyond her youth and she often necked a bottle of burgundy at banquets.
Bettmann Archive In this high-canopied bed at Osborne House, Victoria died on January 22, 1901
Occasionally she would make her own cocktail with claret and whisky. She certainly enjoyed a good Islay single malt.
Trusted aide John Brown made sure the Queen’s glass was rarely empty.
She drank it with water at mealtimes during the day, downed it neat as a nightcap and even had it in her afternoon tea.
Her love of the spirit transformed whisky from a commoner’s drink to the tipple of toffs.
At one point PM William Gladstone was concerned she might be consuming too much alcohol when she started tipsily writing notes in crayon on state papers.
Her other men
When she was crowned at 18 Victoria had a close relationship with PM Lord Melbourne, almost 40 years her senior.
The young queen, whose father died when she was a baby, became so close to her mentor she was nicknamed “Mrs Melbourne.”
Daily Record After Albert died Victoria became close to her Highland servant John Brown and carried his portrait
Even after marrying Albert she sent him a racy letter describing her wedding night as “a gratifying and bewildering experience”.
After Albert died Victoria became close to her Highland servant John Brown and carried his portrait.
Her own daughters called him “Mama’s lover” and one vicar claimed he’d secretly married them.
When Brown died the queen wrote: “Life for the second time is become most trying and sad to bear.”
But that didn’t stop her, aged 68, starting another alleged intimate relationship with Muslim servant Abdul Karim, 24.
She wrote him letters signed with flurries of kisses. They were destroyed by her son when she died.
Racy relatives
They were a troubled family. Victoria’s uncle, the alcoholic gambling George IV, had at least two illegitimate children but left no heir.
Getty Edward VII was one of Victoria's raciest relatives
Her other sex-mad uncle, William IV, took over in 1830.
He had a 30-year relationship with an actress before dumping her, taking away their 10 kids and leaving her in poverty.
He died in 1837 with no legitimate heirs.
Victoria was said to be beastly to her children. So it’s not surprising the Prince of Wales, the future Edward VII, rebelled and had a string of lovers before and after marrying at 21.
They included Winston Churchill’s mother and Alice Keppel, great-gran of the Duchess of Cornwall.
The queen’s grandson, Prince Albert Victor, was the real black sheep.
There were claims “Eddy” visited a gay brothel and fathered a child with a woman from the East End.
This in turn led to whispers he was Jack the Ripper.
He died aged 28 prompting rumours he’d been poisoned, pushed off a cliff or caught an STD.
Humour
It is probably a myth that Victoria said “We are not amused”. The tale was spread by someone not present when she supposedly said it.
Getty Queen Victoria poses in her Robes of State for this painting by Winterhalter.
She is understood to have later told a grand-daughter she never uttered the words.
The po-faced portraits of the queen exist only because early photos took so long to expose that nobody could smile long enough.
Victoria is said to have loved John Brown’s sense of humour, laughing when the Scot referred to her as “Wumman” rather “Ma’am.”
And she nearly split her sides after asking a deaf admiral about his sick sister.
He though she was asking about a damaged warship and replied: “She’ll be fine, ma’am, when we turn her over and scrape the barnacles off her bottom!”

An angry dad allegedly crushed his daughter's beautiful £10,000 Audi with a mechanical digger after 'catching her in it with a boy'.
Mike Card is accused of taking parenting to a whole new level when he reportedly got behind the controls of a massive digger and smashed it into the roof of the red sports car.
Although the exact details of what his daughter Ashlyn is alleged to have done are not clear, her brother Kaylor posted the video to Facebook with the caption: "Yep! When a dad has to prove a point! #DADDYNOTHAPPY "
A dad is alleged to have used a digger to wreck £10k Audi after catching his daughter in car with a boy
Kaylor later added: "All I can say is Brandon Anderson won't be in this car anymore!"
The Audi is rolled onto its side
Ashlyn, who lists her status as single on her profile, may want to stay that way if Dad Mike has anything to say about it.
As the footage, now seen by more than 25,000 people in less than 24 hours, shows the Audi A4 totally destroyed.
The car was badly damaged
The family are from Hiawassee in Georgia, USA, with the car first belonging to Kaylor, before being handed down to younger Ashlyn.

Rodriguez salvaged a point ahead of a likely West Brom move after Defoe picked himself up to slot home from the spot

Southampton 1-1 Sunderland: Jay Rodriguez cancels out Jermain Defoe's penalty
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Jay Rodriguez netted his first Premier League goal since March 2014 to cancel out Jermain Defoe’s penalty for Sunderland.
Rodriguez, who is set to join West Brom on loan this week, smashed a low drive under Jordan Pickford to end his injury hoo-doo.
Defoe had picked himself off the floor to slam a 79th minute spot kick past Fraser Forster to bag his second goal of the season.
Southampton had boasted the better chances with Dusan Tadic grazing the bar and Jordan Pickford appeared in stunning form to keep out Charlie Austin.
Getty Jermain Defoe puts away Sunderland's opener from the spot after being fouled
Lamine Kone should have given the Black Cats a first half lead but his header bounced just wide.
Here are the five things we learned at St Mary's on Saturday.
1. Unfit Austin left stranded
Getty Charlie Austin isn't up to speed and was left stranded up front
Charlie Austin was brought into the starting eleven to give Saints some presence up front, but seemed to lack the match sharpness and looks a long way off being a Graziano Pelle replacement.
Claude Puel’s diamond formation had Nathan Redmond and Dusan Tadic drifting wide to link with the full-backs and left Austin isolated.
Pelle, who escaped to money rich China in the summer, made hold up play an art, but an unfit Austin makes every touch feel laboured.
Refusing to offer the Italian a new contract, on account of his age, might be the south coast club’s biggest mistake.
A second England cap is a long way away for the former QPR man with his lack of pace killing free flowing attacks – his regular strays into an offside positions made him a villain at St Mary’s.
2. Kone really is a keeper for Moyes
Action Images via Reuters David Moyes has rightly resisted approaches for Lamine Kone
David Moyes has been right to keep hold of Lamine Kone at all costs.
Everton have been sniffing around with an £18m offer which Moyes has flatly snubbed – and the Scotsman returned his prize defender to the line-up after a back injury.
It is understandable why there would be clubs queueing up for him with his large frame and footballing brain he is a catch.
For all his defensive qualities he should have buried his first half header – where it looked easier to score.
3. Pickford is Premier League quality
Harry Trump Black Cats keeper Jordan Pickford impressed when given his starting chance
Fraser Forster may be the man Claude Puel thinks Sam Allardyce should turn to replace Manchester City reject Joe Hart between the sticks for England.
But the north-east has produced another keeper to challenge for the national team No.1 jersey.
Jordan Pickford looked destined to save anything that was hit in his direction, and in one second half barrage appeared to single handily save the point for the Mackams.
Allardyce will know Pickford, who is currently in the under 21 squad, from his time at the Stadium of Light and will know for the future he is one to look out for.
4. Redmond daft to challenge referee
Michael Steele Nathan Redmond should have known better than to take on the referee given new directives
When will players learn the new refereeing directive that if you crowd the referee you will get booked.
Nathan Redmond was the wally on display this time as he went back three times to remonstrate a fairly unimportant decision – obviously the yellow came out.
Bournemouth have already shown that matches will be lost by this indiscipline, shown by Harry Arter’s first caution at West Ham last weekend.
It is down to the managers to drum into their stars how to avoid the needless cards.
5. Rodriguez could stay at St Mary's
Action Images via Reuters Jay Rodriguez scored his first goal since 2014
Maybe Claude Puel will think again about letting Jay Rodriguez leave on loan.
Rodriguez has battled a career threatening knee injury which ended his World Cup 2014 dream.
But finally found the back of the net with a hard thrash.
Puel was keen to get him game time at the Baggies with Sofiane Boufal set to join the south coast.
But with goals hard to come by in this Saints side he may now stay and fight for his place.

'Five minute' walk in Uber ride costs £85 after driver 'takes 35 mile detour around London’
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Hannah said 'I assumed maybe it was a new driver and he was lost'
An Uber customer was stunned after a journey that usually takes five minutes on foot ended up costing her £85 in the taxi.
Hannah Warman ordered a driver from the taxi app for what is usually a five-minute walk.
As it was late and she thought it would be safer, she opted to order the Uber driver instead of doing the journey on foot.
But it may not have been the best decision, as the journey came to an £85 cost after the driver took 90 minutes to reach the destination in a 35-mile journey.
Miss Warman told The Independent: "The journey was only a five or ten minute walk, but decided to get an Uber because it was late and I thought it’d be safer.
Facebook The ride was tracked by the Uber app
"I had been drinking a bit and must have fallen asleep. I remember thinking it was taking a while, but I assumed maybe it was a new driver and he was lost.
"I’m usually nice to cab drivers so was very forgiving when I thought that might be the case. I was so tired that I went straight to bed when I got home."
She set off at 4.30am from the north London address before making her way to west London, and then arriving home in east London.
Uber has now provided her with a full refund, and believe the driver became confused because two streets had the same name.
Facebook Hannah has now been given a full refund
Hannah however insists she won't be using Uber again.
A spokesperson for Uber said: "We are speaking to the licensed driver and the rider to establish exactly what happened and have given the rider a full refund.
"Unlike other transport options Uber’s technology records every trip and sends riders a receipt with a map of the route taken.
"This transparency and accountability means if there is an issue it can be quickly resolved."

17:45 14 mins - Pogba finds Mata, who has options out wide but chooses to go centrally instead. The Spaniard tries to thread a through ball to Rooney but Davies is back to recover for Hull. The game’s gone cagey all of a sudden at the KCOM Stadium. Getty
17:43 12 mins - Martial cuts inside and finds Ibrahimovic with a cross. The Swede holds off pressure from Davies and flicks his header at goal but it’s a yard over and grazes the crossbar. It ripples over the net on its way and the away fans get a bit excited, much to the amusement of the home crowd. It’s a half-chance but United are showing that they’re deadly early on.
17:42 10 mins - Hernandez shows great awareness with a backheel to find the overlap of Dimoande who sends the ball out wide to Meyler. His cross is cleared but only as far as Huddlestone who brings Hull back on the attack. In the end it’s Rooney who drops deep to retrieve possession for the visitors. Still 0-0 in Yorkshire.
17:39 8 mins - Rooney finds himself in space down the left flank after some hard work by Martial. The England captain clips a cross, searching for Ibrahimovic in the Hull box but Maguire gets across in time to intercept.
17:38 6 mins - Hull have a dangerous free-kick on the edge of the United box. Snodgrass takes the set-piece but his effort is poor and is driven straight into the wall. Hull keep the ball alive on the edge of the area before Huddlestone’s strike whizzes well over the crossbar. Still 0-0 but Hull have started to turn up. Encouraging.
17:34 4 mins - Meyler makes a skirmish towards the United box and nearly threads through Diomande. Bailly clears the danger and United reform their shape. Hull are finding their feet and stringing a few passes together.
17:32 2 mins - Pogba releases Martial down the right flank for United’s first attack. He’s outmuscled by Hull right back Elmohamady. Hull are already being pegged back in their half and you get the sense that they’re being set up to counter.
17:30 Kick-Off 1 mins - We’re underway here in Yorkshire as both sides look to continue their 100 per cent starts to the Premier League season. Both will have very different targets for their finishes.
17:21 Mourinho back in the title hunt Jose Mourinho has promised to right the wrongs of last season and return Manchester United to the Premier League title picture. A world record signing in Paul Pogba as well as the high-profile arrivals of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have got his aim off to a good start.

Hull and Marc Sneyd both return to Wembley for the Challenge Cup final with a point to prove
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Star man: And Hull's Sneyd is out for victory
As Marc Sneyd trudged from the Wembley pitch two years ago, substituted in the first half as Castleford struggled to contain Leeds, he hoped his time would come again.
The talented play-maker was sacrificed by Tigers coach Daryl Powell and his cup final debut ended in defeat and disappointment.
Two years on, Sneyd returns to the national stadium as the creator-in-chief for a Hull FC side looking to end their remarkable hoodoo on the ground and bid for an historic treble.
The Black and Whites have lifted the famous trophy three times, but never at Wembley - losing seven times and drawing once.
And Sneyd believes the experience that both him and his Hull team-mates have from their 2013 final heartache will stand them in good stead today.
2016 Getty Images Chief creator: Sneyd is looking to take Hull to victory
Sneyd said: “I think it will help - having played there and knowing what to expect before the game as well as during it. “The last time I was there wasn’t the greatest experience, but it was still experience nevertheless.
“The lads that played in 2013 for Hull at Wembley are pretty desperate to get back there and rectify it as well.
“People say that is known as the worst Challenge Cup final ever. They’re dying to right some wrongs and get out onto the pitch.”
Sneyd hasn’t been able to re-watch the 2014 final, which saw his Castleford side eventually fall to a 23-10 defeat.
2016 Getty Images Avengers: Hull are gunning for victory
He said: “It’s not something I want to remember so I’ve just brushed it out of my mind and cracked on.
“It was disappointing - but Powelly is a good coach and he had his reasons for it. There wasn’t much I could do - I just had to cop it and get on with it.
“I haven’t watched the game again, I swept it all away as soon as the whistle went.
“Now I’m lucky enough to get another chance.”
Sneyd’s varied kicking game could hold the key today’s clash, which some bookmakers have been unable to split.
2015 Getty Images The man to stop: Chris Sandow
His battle with opposing scrum-half Chris Sandow is also likely to be crucial.
Sneyd said: “He’s a really good player. He’s the kind of player that can make something out of nothing and has a really good kicking game - we’ll have to be on our guard with him.
“But I just concentrate on what I need to do. If I do everything I set out to in a game and accomplish it, then I’ll be quite happy.
“I don’t compare myself to anyone else.”

The dad of football star Gareth Bale’s fiancée Emma Rhys-Jones has been jailed for six years over a multi-million pound shares scam.
Martin Rhys-Jones must also repay £2.2million he swindled from dozens of victims including an Alzheimer’s sufferer he fleeced of £300,000.
Rhys-Jones, 52, and his associates sold worthless stocks at hugely inflated prices. Salesmen working for him in Barcelona used high pressure tactics to sell shares that were restricted and worth almost nothing.
Rhys-Jones, of Cardiff, was prosecuted in the US as some of the cash went through an account in New York state before being moved overseas.

US District Judge Elizabeth Wolford said he engaged in “fraud plain and simple” in the three-year scam with 250 victims in the UK, US and Canada.
He admitted money laundering. Judge Wolford said he was “motivated by greed and self interest and didn’t take into account the people you were harming.”

Dr Miriam Stoppard reveals just how little exercise you can get away with and still stay healthy
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

How little exercise can you get away with
First we had an hour, then we had half an hour, then we had 12 minutes and now 60 seconds.
Yes, just 60 seconds of exercise is all it takes for health and fitness.
How, you may ask? The answer lies in doing intermittent intensive short intervals of flat-out exertion punctuated with short bursts of less strenuous stuff.
I do it on my spinning bike. I do a 30-second hill climb standing up, then 30 seconds sitting down pedalling hard with a two minute warm-up and warm down either end of six hill climbs.
For extra benefit , at my gym I do the same routine in a chamber with low oxygen that really puts me through my paces.
But why are intermittent intensive exercises so good? Because they make you fit, keep your muscles young and control your blood sugar.
What's the best type of exercise to do
And the intervals have been getting shorter and shorter, making them a boon for people who never seem to have enough time.
Scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, compared super-short and more standard workouts.
They recruited 25 out-of-shape young men and measured their fitness and their body’s ability to use insulin properly to regulate blood sugar levels.
The scientists also biopsied the men’s muscles to examine how well their muscle cells functioned.
They were divided into three groups.
Getty Short, sharp bursts of exercise can be beneficial
One group changed nothing, a second group started an endurance routine of riding on an exercise bike for 45 minutes and a third group was assigned to intermittent intense exercise pedalling as hard as possible for 20 seconds then riding at a very slow pace for two minutes and repeating twice more, with two minutes warm-up and three minutes warm down.
The entire workout lasted 10 minutes, with only one minute of that time
being strenuous.
Both groups of exercising volunteers completed three sessions each week for 12 weeks.
Getty Which work out will be best for you?
The endurance group had ridden for 27 hours, while the interval group had ridden for six hours, with only 36 minutes of that time being strenuous.
Yes, you’ve guessed it. The men’s fitness, muscles and blood-sugar control were virtually identical, whether they’d completed the long endurance workouts or the short, gruelling intervals.
In both groups, endurance had increased by nearly 20%, insulin resistance had improved significantly and the men’s muscles were much more efficient.
Neither approach to exercise was superior to the other, except one is shorter – much, much shorter.

Liverpool transfer news and rumours: Reds to fail in bid to land Dortmund starlet Christian Pulisic?
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Liverpool are unlikely to sign Christian Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund before the transfer deadline, according to ESPN.
The Reds had been hopeful of striking a deal for the highly-rated 17-year-old winger, who has already represented the US at senior level.
However, Dortmund are keen to hold on to him past this transfer window, but Thomas Tuchel may allow the starlet to move out on loan to aid his development.
Pulisic currently sits behind Marco Reus, Andre Schurrle, Ousmane Dembele and Emre Mor in the first-team pecking order at the Westfalenstadion.
Palermo keen on Balotelli?
PA Balotelli has reportedly been offered an Anfield escape route
Palermo are interested in ending Mario Balotelli's Liverpool nightmare before the transfer deadline on Wednesday.
That is according to Italian outlet Media Gol, who say Palermo boss Davide Ballardini is keen to work with the 26-year-old Reds flop.
Balotelli has struggled to make an impact on Merseyside since his switch two summers ago, spending much of last season on loan at AC Milan.
He has just one goal in 16 Premier League appearances following his initial move from the San Siro to Anfield.
Wisdom set for Salzburg loan
Jeff Curry/Getty Images Wisdom is set for a loan move away from Anfield
Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom is set to sign for Red Bull Salzburg on a season-long loan.
The 23-year-old had also been the subject of interest from Scottish giants Celtic but the Austrian Bundesliga champions have won the race for his signature.
It’s the fourth successive season that the Reds academy graduate has been sent out on loan, writes the Liverpool Echo's James Pearce.
Wisdom, who can at play full back or centre back, hadn’t been able to force his way into Jurgen Klopp’s first-team plans for this campaign.
Luis Alberto fee agreed
PA Alberto is set to move to Lazio
Liverpool and Lazio have agreed a £6million deal for midfielder Luis Alberto.
The deal see the Reds trouser £4.3million up front with £1.7million to potentially follow in add-ons which would be triggered by European qualification, writes the Liverpool Echo's James Pearce.
This comes after negotiations with the Serie A side were finalised this afternoon, with Liverpool including a 30 per cent sell-on clause as part of the deal.
Alberto has been told by Reds boss Jurgen Klopp that he was surplus to requirements at Anfield and will now travel to Rome to discuss personal terms and complete a medical.

Little Mix star Jesy Nelson delays planning wedding

www.mirror.co.uk

Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has delayed planning her wedding to her Rixton fiance Jake Roche.
The couple, who are both too busy working hard with their bands, have said they won’t be tying the knot any time soon.
Jake , 23, popped the question on stage at Manchester Arena last July, with Ed Sheeran serenading them.
At the time Jake’s mum, Mirror columnist Coleen Nolan , said she didn’t think the loved-up pair would “hang about” with a long engagement.
But now Jesy has revealed their nuptials are being put on the back burner – just for the time being.
“I wish our wedding plans were moving forward, but no,” admits Jesy, 25.
“Things have been so full-on for us for the past year, we just haven’t had any time to do anything."
Instagram Jake Roche proposes to Jesy Nelson on stage
Jesy, who plays Summer Saturday Live today at Newmarket Racecourse with Little Mix, has however to have time to a spot of songwriting with her other half: “We’ve been in the studio together trying to write songs, which was really exciting.
“We haven’t wrote any love songs yet – we’re just trying to get a hit. We work well together but we probably won’t duet yet – maybe in a few years.”
Let’s hope these sessions produce a decent hit for the couple to make the wedding delay worthwhile.
And outside the studio Jesy has been equally as busy – earlier this month Little Mix caused a stir with an impromptu performance for a fan’s 12th birthday at a McDonald’s branch in London as part of the restaurant’s #hellogoodtimes campaign.
Jesy added: “We’re still happy and are enjoying being engaged.
“I think we’ll both know when we want the wedding to happen – when we’ve got time. We don’t want to be working and having loads of things going on while planning the big day – it’s just too stressful.”
With a proposal as epic as Jake’s was, we can only imagine they need a bit of time to prepare for a wedding that’s just as impressive.

His daddy has been accused of being moody, but you couldn't say the same for cute as a button Saint West .
The nine-month-old son of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has been snapped enjoying a hangout in Central Park, New York and looked incredibly cute as he giggled and laughed during the playdate.
The brown-eyed youngster, who is the spitting image of his mum, looked heartbreakingly adorable as he sits on a rug while playing with toys.

Kanye is already a designer for Adidas and his mum has an overflowing shoe collection, so could Saint be a future footwear designer?
The youngster has been kept out of the limelight since his arrival in December last year, but over the last few months has been spotted in public more frequently as he gets used to life as part of the Kardashian clan.
Earlier this week his parents were spotted out with both their children in New York where they attended the MTV VMAs on Sunday night.

Later in the evening, the famous family were spotted returning to their apartment and Kim told the photographers to keep quiet so they didn't wake North who was fast asleep on her mum's shoulder.
The previous night, the pair attended the MTV Video Music Awards where Kanye gave yet another impassioned speech.

He said: "I am Kanye West and it feels really great to say that - especially this year. I came here to present my new video but before I do that I'm going to talk."
Kanye - who famously interrupted Taylor's acceptance speech when she picked up the Best Female Video award at the 2009 VMAs in which he said his friend Beyoncé should have won - went on to subtly mock the Blank Space singer, who didn't attend this year's ceremony.

He then praised his wife Kim, saying: "My wife is a G! Not a lot of people's wives would let them say that."

He said: "We came over in the same boat, now we're all in the same bed. Well, maybe different boats, but, if you think about last week, there was 22 people murdered in Chicago.
"People come up to me like, 'Man, that's right, take Taylor down,' - Bro, I love all of y'all. That's why I called her..."

Nico Rosberg wins Belgian Grand Prix but Lewis Hamilton produces outstanding drive to claim third

Nico Rosberg took victory in the Belgian Grand Prix, but Lewis Hamilton took the plaudits after producing a sensational drive to claim third spot at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
Rosberg took victory with his first ever Belgian GP win, starting from pole and somewhat easing to victory, leaving the manic goings-on in his rear view.
But if he believed this was his chance to make a major dent to Hamilton's world championship lead, the German was sorely mistaken as Hamilton claimed a place on the podium with a sensational drive, which saw him rise 18 places all in.
Daniel Ricciardo, the Australian in the Red Bull, took second place.
2016 Getty Images Still fighting: Nico Rosberg celebrates his success
Ricciardo, Hamilton, and the Force India pair of Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez took full advantage of an incident on the opening corner, involving Sebastian Vettel, Max Verstappen and Kimi Raikkonen, from which that trio never recovered.
First, a slow-starting Verstappen was gobbled up by the Ferrari duo of Vettel and Raikkonen before Vettel turned into his teammate with Raikkonen then bumping into Verstappen. Vettel spun, while both Raikkonen and Verstappen limped back to the pits with a left-rear puncture and front wing damage respectively.
Jenson Button, whose future beyond this season hangs in the balance, was also a first-lap casualty after Pascal Wehrlein drove into the back of his McLaren.
Both drivers were out of the race, and they were soon joined by Carlos Sainz who suffered a right-rear tyre blow-out before coming to a stop with his car in pieces.
Getty Carlos Sainz with a punctured rear tyre
The race would then be suspended on lap eight after Renault driver Kevin Magnussen was fortunate to walk away from a high-speed crash, after losing control coming out of Eau Rouge.
The 23-year-old, at the time in eighth place, slammed into the tyre barrier and suffered significant damage to the rear of his car.
Somehow Magnussen walked away from the incident - albeit with a limp - and was taken to the on-track medical centre for further examinations.
The safety car was initially deployed, but damage sustained to the tyre barrier meant the race was suspended to allow for further repairs.

The incident involving Magnussen capped a remarkable start to F1's first race since the summer break - but Hamilton was unruffled and emerged in podium contention by the time the safety car had been called.
The three-time world champion had been forced to start at the back following a raft of engine changes, but made a sensational charge to not only get himself in among the points, but sat, remarkably, in fifth position.

Sutton/Splash News Football manager Andre Villas-Boas was also in attendance
The 15-minute suspension enforced a clean start, with Hamilton seemingly in position to challenge for an unlikely win.
On lap 12 he swept past Alonso, and six laps later he was in a podium position after easing past the Force India of Nico Hulkenberg.
Both Rosberg and Ricciardo, themselves unaffected by the early tussles, were in no mood to give way to the most unlikely victory in Formula 1 history however, and staunchly defended their positions.
Rosberg's 25 points mean he moves nine off Hamilton atop the Drivers' standings, while Ricciardo is now 23 points clear in third of fourth place Vettel.

UFO spotter discovers 'alien mothership that looks like a penis' flying above Charlton

A UFO spotter is appealing to fellow sky-gazers to solve a mysterious sighting of an 'alien mothership' - that looks like a PENIS.
Andrew Burlington, 40, was on a family outing with his parents and young nephews when he saw what he believes could have been a fleet of UFOs - cylindrical objects with a bulbous end at one tip.
Andrew, who firmly believes that life is out there, has had several encounters with supposed alien craft before, but this is the first time he thinks he's seen the 'mothership.'
The computer technician said: "We thought the objects were balloons at first because they were spherical and some had small objects hanging from them.
SWNS Andrew spotted the penis-shaped UFOs while out with his family
"But they were soon out of sight and the last object in the fleet appeared to lose altitude and flash a few times before slowly turning invisible.
"The fact that a long anomalous object shoots across the sky at the start of the video may well indicate that a UFO mothership was above the Thames Barrier releasing smaller UFOs."
Long-time UFO researcher Andrew, from Lewisham, south east London. has previously released a series of videos on YouTube, offering a new insight into an 'alien interview' which has long been the subject of debate over whether it's real or a hoax.
Andrew was with his nephews Ewan, 11, and Finley, eight, when they spotted the fleet of mysterious floating objects heading towards Charlton, south east London, on August 12.
He added: "My nephews couldn't believe it.
SWNS Enhanced photograph of alleged UFO sighting
"I'm glad they witnessed it with me even though they're children.
"They'd heard me talk about my UFO sightings in the past and probably thought I was pulling their legs."
Andrew managed to capture a video of the phenomenon with his digital camera, and when he slowed down the footage, he spotted another fast-moving object.
He said: "I don't know if it's a long insect or a cigar-shaped UFO whizzing by - I just don't know what it is.
"There is also a smaller, darker object moving around in all directions of the compass at the start of the video.
"There's a possibility it could be a bird, but then it could be a black triangular or v-shaped UFO, like an object I saw over Lewisham in May 2014."
SWNS Andrew is appealing to fellow sky-gazers to help him solve the mystery
Andrew hopes more UFO spotters will come forward to help him discover the truth behind what he saw.
He added: "Being so close to City Airport, I am wondering if the anomalous objects were picked up on radar."
"I know sceptics will say these were nothing more than balloons released from a boat on the river.
"To the doubters, I say this: Being a skywatcher in an urban area, I am familiar with just about all types of conventional aircraft and balloons.
"If the objects were merely balloons, then what caused them to fade and vanish into thin air?
"This UFO sighting is one of many I have experienced over the last two and a half years and is just one piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is ufology."

West Ham considering Micah Richards move as Slaven Bilic sets sights on new right-back

Micah Richards could be on his way to West Ham
West Ham are desperate to bolster their defence on Deadline Day - but are set to offload at least one striker too.
Aston Villa’s Micah Richards, Arsenal full-back Matthieu Debucy, who is also wanted by Espanyol, and Wolves youngster Dominic Iorfa are all on the Hammers radar.
Enner Valencia could be heading out of the London Stadium with the Ecuador international poised for a £12million switch to Swansea.
West Brom are also keen but Watford’s Odion Ighalo is their preferred option.
Diafro Sakho is another forward West Ham would be willing to sell but are prepared to keep him should an offer in the region of £16m fail to materialise.
REUTERS Enner Valencia is wanted by Swansea and West Brom

Zlatan Imbrahimovic went close but it was veteran Wayne Rooney's cross for young gun Rashford that delivered the three points to Jose Mourinho's side

Hull City 0-1 Manchester United: Marcus Rashford delivers at the death
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Super-sub Marcus Rashford scored a late winner against Hull City to give Manchester United their third consecutive Premier League win.
The 18-year-old came on with 20 minutes to play and got on the end of Wayne Rooney's cross to tap in from close-range in the 94th minute.
Hull City were left heartbroken after they defended brilliantly all game, but they momentarily switched off and Rashford punished them with his first goal of the season.
United dominated possession at the KCOM Stadium, but found it hard to breakdown a well-drilled Hull City defence. The closest they had come to scoring before Rashford's late winner was a cheeky backheel from Zlatan Ibrahimovic that hit the side-netting.
Despite the loss, Hull City can take a lot of positives from the game after they displayed fantastic team spirit and organisation.
But what did we learn? Here are 5 things...
1. Curtis Davies impresses again
Action Images via Reuters No dice: Curtis Davies, particularly in the first half, was a wall
Now 31, Curtis Davies feels like he has been around forever and, for a while, he was simply doing a tour of the Premier League's Midlands clubs.
His name has been linked with England call-ups before, but no international recognition has been stowed upon him since a trio of Under-21s appearances in 2007.
Yet if he can keep performing like this, the Three Lions' dearth of resources in central defence may see him afforded an opportunity.
Getty Big Sam could look at the veteran defender for his new-look England further down the line
Hull's performances despite the off-field crisis enveloping the club has been one of the more surprising stories in the embryonic stages of this season.
But he's been a star of it.
With Sam Allardyce in charge, an England call-up feels as close as it's ever been.
2. Adversity cultivates team spirit
Getty Paul Pogba gets above Robert Snodgrass to win a header
Makeshift team, disgruntled fans, caretaker manager - on the surface Hull City look like a team on a downward spiral, but through their struggle they are finding the one thing money can’t buy - team spirit.
Once again the players came together to dig in against Jose Mourinho’s big red machine and almost grind out a result. Ignoring all their off the field problems, Hull City’s troops are focusing on the football.
Their starting XI isn’t blessed with an array of established stars, but with organisation and discipline they’re churning out results that no one is expecting them to get. Against all the odds they might just stay in the Premier League is they can maintain this dogged resilience throughout the season.
3 Zlatan was made for the Premier League
JMP/REX/Shutterstock Zlatan Ibrahimovic reacts after missing a chance
Never doubt Zlatan. At 34 the naysayers were saying he didn't have the legs for the muck and nettles of the Premier League. Wrong.
Game by game he is proving himself to be a every inch the superstar. Ok, so he might not have scored against Hull City, but he relished the physical battle in the pouring rain at the KCOM Stadium.
Curtis Davies and Harry Maguire tried their best to unsettle the Super Swede, but he just shook off their roughhouse tactics and led the line.
4 Eric Bailly was £30 million well spent
Action Images via Reuters Eric Bailly in action with Abel Hernandez
The Manchester United centre back looks like he's been playing at the heart of the United defence all his life. Comfortable on the ball, unfazed by the physicality of the Premier League and full of confidence he looks accomplished playing out from the back and snuffing out any danger.
With all the stars that have arrived at Old Trafford, he's flown under the radar, but he might just be the best bit of business United did over the summer.
Hull City's forward line didn't get a sniff all night.
5 Mourinho needs to drop Wayne Rooney
Action Images via Reuters Wayne Rooney
He might be the captain and talisman, but he's out of form and holding United back. United's attack almost comes to halt when he's in possession. The sands of time are really starting to catch up with him.
Mourinho gave Marcus Rashford a 20 minute cameo and he came on to score the winner. Yes, Rooney set up the goal, but that owed more to bad defending than great play.
Mourinho needs to manage Rooney's game time. Rashford must start.

A black teenager who was shot at 16 times by police was unarmed and surrendering when officers opened fire, according to his lawyers.
Officers claimed that 15-year-old Keston Charles pointed a gun at them after they were called to reports of a weapon before fleeing the scene on foot in Brooklyn, New York.
But it turned out to be a toy that fires plastic pellets – and new surveillance footage shows that when police fired at Keston he was unarmed, according to the New York Daily News.
He was allegedly shot once in the buttocks while fleeing then again in the side and chest after dropping his BB gun.
The teenager, who was in a coma for three weeks after the chase, said in a deposition: “I put up my hands, they was still shooting.”

He pleaded guilty to owning a fake pistol but a police probe found the officers had acted appropriately in their pursuit
He later pleaded guilty to owning a fake pistol.
Keston said he ran because he was scared for his life but a police probe found one of the officers acted appropriately.
Now a judge will rule whether a jury should decide if excessive force was used by the police.
Keston’s lawyers said: “The officer's claim that this young man repeatedly took aim at him with an unloaded toy gun not only defies logic, but it is blatantly contradicted by the video.”

Cousin of 'terror twins' jailed for seven years for running ISIS WhatsApp group from his bedroom
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
The cousin of teen terror twins has been jailed for setting up an ISIS communications hub using WhatsApp in his bedroom.
From his mum’s home in Manchester, Abdullahi Ahmed Jama Farah, now 20, created the “hub of communication” for his “Mandem” group of like-minded extremists in 2013.
Following a trial at the Old Bailey, the defendant was found guilty of preparing for terrorist acts by attempting to facilitate Nur Hassan, 19, from Manchester, to travel to Syria to fight.
Judge Michael Topolski sentenced him to seven years’ detention and a further three years on extended licence.
The judge told him that the extent of his radicalisation was “considerable”, saying: “Your support for jihad was global and offensive in nature and not defensive and limited to Syria.”
Zahra Halane left Chorlton at the age of 16 and is thought to have become an 'ISIS bride'
He went on: “Your conduct demonstrated a significant degree of sophistication as well as determination and commitment.
“I am satisfied that what motivated you to assist was the very same set of extremist beliefs that motivated your friends to travel and train and fight and, if necessary, to die.”
He highlighted messages in which the defendant referred to beheadings as “lick some heads off” and asking his friends if they were “smacking (killing) guys”, the Manchester Evening News reported .
In assessing Jama Farah’s dangerousness, the judge added: “I bear in mind that as relatively recently as 2015, with the full extent of the grotesque barbarity of ISIS clear for all to see, you were continuing to support them and doing so openly and publicly.”
Jama Farah is the cousin of the so-called “teenager terror twins”, Zhara and Salma Halane, who at the age of 16 left their home in Chorlton in Manchester in June 2014 and are believed to have married ISIS fighters.
Prosecutor Gareth Patterson had told jurors it was clear that Jama Farah supported ISIS from what was found on his computers as well as messages on WhatsApp and social media.
Anil Raoufi was killed in Syria
Mr Patterson said he performed an “important role as the hub of communication” in the UK.
Jama Farah, who is Danish and of Somali origin, was in communication with four other friends abroad, two of whom are believed to have been killed and another badly injured in fighting.
His cousin Ahmed Ibrahim Halane, known as Pie, from Manchester, went to Somalia in September 2013, where he is thought to have joined the terrorist group al-Shabab.
Halane, brother of the “terror twins”, is currently in Copenhagen, banned from returning to the UK.
Close friends Raphael Hostey, Mohammed Javeed and Khalil Raoufi headed from north-west England to Syria on October 6 2013 to join ISIS, the court heard.
Raoufi and Hostey went on to encourage others from England and around the world to swell their ranks in postings on Twitter.
Ahmed Ibrahim Halane (aka Pie) went to Somalia in 2013 and is thought to have joined al-Shabab
After Jama Farah was arrested on March 11, 2014, he told police he knew them all through his cousin Halane, who was “emir”, or leader, of their group of close friends.
Jama Farah, of South Grove, Longsight, Manchester, denied wrongdoing.
He was cast by his defence as an over-excited teenager sitting in his bedroom at home on his computer in contact with his friends and passing on phone numbers, concerned for their welfare.
Following a trial in February, the jury convicted him of facilitating Hassan’s travel to Syria and for his communication with Raoufi.

The scene on the M20 motorway in Kent, United Kingdom after a bridge collapsed onto a lorry
Motorway travellers had a miracle escape when a lorry hit a bridge and brought it crashing down.
A biker avoided death – or even serious injury – by hurling himself off his motorcycle as debris weighing hundreds of tons rained on to the busy M20.
An HGV was torn to shreds by falling concrete and metal from the pedestrian footbridge, while terrified drivers had to swerve to evade disaster.
Holiday traffic tailbacks stretching to 15 miles built up in both directions in Kent and each three-lane carriageway was closed, leading to delays of up to six hours on Britain’s busiest day on the roads.

Shocked motorists described the horrifying moment they saw the bridge collapse in front of them as it was struck by the arm of a huge digger being carried on the back of a lorry.
Lecturer Alex Magaisa, 41, driving to Gatwick Airport with his wife and two young sons, said he was overtaking the truck just as the chaos unfolded.
“My instinct was just to drive through and I had to manoeuvre through the debris,” said Dr Magaisa, from the University of Kent.
i-Images The biker flung himself from his bike
“It was a big shock. It’s only just starting to sink in now what might have happened.
"We were right in the line of fire and we could have been crushed.”
An air ambulance and several road ambulances raced to the scene – between junctions 3 and 4 of the westbound carriageway near Maidstone – along with firefighters and police just after midday.

The emergency crews were amazed to find that the motorcyclist was the only victim and that he had not suffered life-threatening injuries.
The biker, 50, was treated for suspected broken ribs.
Officers eased the growing traffic snarl-up by removing crash barriers, allowing drivers to turn around and go back in the direction they came from.
Sky News The scene on the M20 motorway in Kent, United Kingdom after a bridge collapsed onto a lorry
The M20 was then shut and was expected to remain closed till at least noon on Sunday.
Driver Sonny Gladdish said he was a few cars behind the lorry carrying the digger and saw it travelling on the hard shoulder before it rammed the bridge.
He went on: “I heard a loud bang and saw a motorcyclist throw himself off his bike to avoid the impact.”

Witness Kelly Conners, of Aylesham, was in a car with her 18-month-old child at the time.
She said: “My partner yelled, ‘Look at the bridge, it’s falling down’. We could have been under all that debris.”
Some motorists tried to halt the traffic on the M20’s eastbound carriageway as they feared the bridge might collapse on that carriageway too.

The footbridge had been blocked off to the public for some time and was apparently undergoing repairs.
Also a man leapt to his death from a bridge over the M5.
The northbound slip road at junction 10 near Cheltenham, Glos, shut for hours afterwards.
Queues up to 50 miles long built up elsewhere on the motorway as families streamed towards the West Country beaches.
Its volume of traffic was said to be double the level 12 months ago.

About 13 million cars were expected on the roads for the bank holiday weekend – twice a normal weekend’s amount.
National tourism agency VisitEngland said an estimated 5.1 million people were taking a break within the UK this weekend, generating about £1.3billion for the economy.
Others streamed to a string of music festivals.
They included Reading, Leeds, CarFest South in Hampshire – and also Creamfields in Cheshire, where an unidentified man aged 26 from Cornwall was found dead on Friday night.
His death sparked a police warning about the dangers of illegal drugs.

Many drivers heading off for holidays abroad added to the huge quantities of road traffic.
Travel organisation Abta estimated two million Britons would be flying out from airports across the country – including extra-busy Gatwick and Heathrow – between Friday and tomorrow.
Experts said bank holiday road hotspots to avoid included sections of the M25, M6, M4 and M27.
In addition coach operator National Express was expecting its busiest weekend of the year, with hundreds of thousands of customers.

But the company said every one of its full coaches takes a mile of traffic off the roads.
On the railways, travellers faced problems from nearly 1,000 engineering projects across the network – with some lines closed.
Network Rail said: “We carry out larger upgrades over bank holidays when there are fewer passengers travelling.”
A mixed bag of weather covered Britain.
Downpours from a storm forced the Swindon Town v Bristol Rovers League One football game in Wiltshire to be abandoned after an hour.

But just 100 miles away thousands of people packed south coast beaches like Brighton amid brilliant sunshine.
The Met Office said there would be a “mixed bag” of weekend weather, with most areas seeing plenty of sun but with the possibility of some cloud and thundery showers.
It predicted scattered, light showers and sunny spells for most people across the country on bank holiday Monday.

New footage of the wild celebrations from Manchester United fans following their dramatic 1-0 win at Hull shows how fans were briefly crushed as spectators and players rejoiced.
Images from the scene at the KCOM Stadium revealed this morning how Marouane Fellaini heroically saved a female fan who was being crushed against an advertising board.
Marcus Rashford had just slotted home an injury-time strike that secured a 1-0 win, and rushed towards the away fans.

Supermarket price wars could spell the end of a major chain
Britain's high street price war could wipe out a major supermarket , experts have warned.
An industry report says that continued expansion by the nation’s biggest supermarkets will eat into profits and risks spelling the downfall of one leading chain.
The big four – Tesco , Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons – have committed hundreds of millions of pounds to price cuts in a bid to combat falling sales and halt the rise of Aldi and Lidl.
The two German discounters now account for more than 10 per cent of the grocery market.
Getty Images Tesco is committed to price cuts
And after overtaking upmarket rival Waitrose, Aldi is now second only to the big four and the Co-op, report the Sunday People.
But while price cutting is good news for shoppers, industry analysts believe some chains may not survive it.
Retailers will start by closing stores says the HSBC report, adding that “some companies could fail in such an aggressive environment”.
Getty Aldi is second only to the big four and the Co-op
US-owned Asda is the UK’s most profitable retailer with an operating margin of about 5 per cent, compared to Tesco’s 1.2 per cent, the report reveals.
It adds: “If Asda decided to invest half its margin into price, a competitor reaction could wipe out almost all industry profitability and would force an industry restructure.
“We believe that it would create a loser in the industry, a struggling retailer that the rest of the sector can feed on.”
Asda is the UK's most profitable retailer
Morrisons slashed the cost of more than 1,000 items by an average 18 per cent last month.
Asda is expected to follow suit,unleashing even deeper price cuts.

James Milner says he's learning Liverpool's left-back role "as fast as he can"

Red-emption: Milner is playing left-back for the good of the team
James Milner has pledged to continue working as hard as he can as he bids to solve Liverpool 's left-back problem.
The erratic form of Alberto Moreno has forced Jurgen Klopp to shift the Reds vice-captain from his usual midfield position for the last three games.
But Milner has impressed his manager to such an extent that Klopp has decided not to sign a new left-back prior to Wednesday’s transfer deadline.
It’s been a challenging switch for the 30-year-old but he insists he’s happy to play there all season if required.
“It is different,” Milner told the Liverpool Echo . “There are pluses and minuses to it.
Tottenham vs Liverpool: Best pictures
“All my career being in the midfield or higher up than that you have got people behind you. You are working in pairs when you play further up but you are more of a unit when you are playing at left-back.
“You need to be aware of where your centre-backs are so you are not the deepest man, all these things.
“It’s new for me and I’m learning as fast as I can. Hopefully I can keep the mistakes to a minimum and do what I can for the team.
“I think I have adapted throughout my career to playing different positions and this one is different as well. Hopefully my experience and my time in football can help me.

REUTERS Milner is learning the ropes at left-back
REUTERS And is happy to continue helping the team
“I am a Liverpool player and what the manager asks me to do I will do. Ultimately, if he thinks that is the best thing for the team then I will do it.”
Milner has spent hours examining the footage from matches in order to ensure his positional play improves.
A deeper starting role this season doesn’t mean more defensive though with the full-backs given a licence to attack and provide the width in Klopp’s side.
“I’ve played a lot on the left in my career and would rather play left-back than right-back so that does not affect me,” he added.

“It’s more learning the position from training and watching videos after the game, looking at distances from the centre-half, getting out to the wide man quickly, things like that.
“It is a bit irrelevant to speak to someone who has played there in the past as the way that this manager plays is very different to a left-back say five years ago.
“A lot of time in this team you are like a winger and on the front foot.
“So I could speak to other left backs but the way this manager wants his full-backs to play is completely different to how other managers want them to play.”

Celebrity Big Brother fans have leapt to the defence of controversial winner Stephen Bear after he clashed with presenter Emma Willis .
Viewers slammed the CBB host for her "unfair" and "negative" interview with the outspoken housemate after he was crowned the champion.
Bear, 26, made a grand exit from the house, sliding down the stairs, kissing Chloe Khan before parading into the live studio chanting "winner".
The cocksure star visibly irked Emma as he bragged how he knew he would win the competition, because "I'm a nice guy, why wouldn't you pick me?"

Fans took to Twitter, complaining that Emma had allowed her dislike of Bear to influence her tone and questions during the interview.
One Twitter user wrote: “Emma Willis is a hater. All questions tailored to make Bear look bad. Then gets annoyed when he out smarts her. Very unprofessional #CBB”
Another said: "Emma Willis has let herself down tonight, let her opinion of Bear effect her professionally! Negative about him in every interview #CBB"
One viewer added: "Have to say, I thought Emma's interview with the WINNER of #CBBUK #CBB was awful...very negative towards @stephen_bear we love him!"

However, other fans jumped to Emma's defence, criticising Bear for his attitude during the interview.
One user posted: "I agree with Emma completely, too much of Bear was shown, it was edited for him to win! And he is infuriating! GO EMMA!"
Another said: "Is this the worst interview you have ever seen??? #cbb #bear feel for a Emma big time! Hardest interviewee of all time"

Bear had correctly predicted that he would win the show before he entered the house at the start of the series, and then explained to Emma why he was so sure.
He said: "If you believe that you're going to do something you always win. If I start off with the mindset that I'm going to win, then I win."
When asked about why he used to enjoy winding up the other housemates, Bear danced around the question and simply said: "All I think is if I wanna make a pancake I'll make a pancake, and if that annoys people then so be it."
Channel 5 Emma and Bear hugged despite clashing during the interview

Emma told Bear to be serious because of his constant interruptions to her during the interview and his lack of serious answers.
"If I know I've upset one I'll leave them. I know my limits, and I leave them," he said trying to be a better winner after visibly irking Emma.
Surprisingly, Bear actually said that he thought he was good at reducing tensions in the house, even though he was often the cause of the arguments.
He said: "I think I'm a good diffuser of situations. A professional."

Emma again pressed him and said: "You're not answering the question", to which Bear said: "I'm a politician, I suppose."
Emma sparked a reaction from Bear when she suggested he was a bad loser because he always reacted badly when the tables were turned, even though he always played tricks and wound up everyone else.
"When that game was turned on you you didn't take it very well. But its just a game you'd say," said Emma.
Bear replied: "When I won I loved it so it's swing and roundabout's in this house isn't it."
The Bear was also asked about his relationship with Chloe and why he couldn't wait until he was off the show to dump his girlfriend Lillie Lexi.

He said: "When two guys like each other, there's nothing wrong with it. I forgot i was in front of cameras.
"The reason I split up with my girlfriend was because I didn't want her to be put through all the stuff I put my last girlfriend through."
"Couldn't you wait?" asked Emma. But again Bear dodged the question and said: "Well couldn't you wear a red dress?"

Footballers' Wives star Sofia Hayat quits sex and has breast implants removed for "second coming" as a NUN
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
British-Indian model Sofia Hayat has had her breast implants removed and decided to become a celibate nun.
The star of Footballers’ Wives , Waterloo Road and more recently India’s famous Big Boss has stopped wearing makeup, bagged away her designer dresses and Louboutin heels, and has chosen to meditate for five hours a day.
After living a luxurious life of celebrity filled parties, red carpet film premieres and dating a string of handsome high profile men, Sofia, 41, has found a new way of living which she believes is her true calling.
Her "second coming" came after she attended a retreat where she drank Ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic tea often used by people seeking enlightenment.
"My previous life was wonderful but I love this one more," she said.
"When I look at photos of the old me I still smile. I feel I was meant to go through that life so that I can witness the real world.
"But now my life is like a second coming. My reason for existing now is to take away all the negativity and to reveal the truth of our our existence."
Sofia was raised a Muslim and grew up in South London with very strict parents and two brothers but her ‘restrictive and suffocating’ up bringing led her to rebel in her teens.
She said: "When I was a teenager I was desperate to free myself of the rules and restrictions of my religion. I wanted to be sexy, I wanted to wear nice clothes and I wanted to flaunt my long hair and body."

Sofia had always loved singing and wanted to be a professional even though her parents strongly disapproved.
"I never necessarily wanted to be famous, I just loved singing, however, it all came as a package," she said.
"When I fell into modelling I ended up securing a dream job as a TV presenter on an Asian youth show in 2000 and then my career quickly took off."
Consequently, Sofia fell out with her parents, but soon she was appearing in BBC and ITV dramas, including Footballers Wives, Waterloo Road and Jonathan Creek and often mixing with high end society at some of London’s top parties.

When she was 19 she went to a party in London with Leonardo DiCaprio. She said: "He was in London to film The Beach and at the party he invited me to his room where we chatted.
"I was only about 19 at the time, still a virgin, but he wanted me to stay."
By 2009 Bollywood came calling and she starred in the film, The Unforgettable.
She added: "I was quickly known as the very glamorous and down to earth Brit in Bollywood and people liked my sense of fun and honest attitude.
"I enjoyed wearing provocative clothes on the red carpet and having fun with my co-stars.
"Bollywood was very different to London. Stars never admitted to any beauty enhancements or cosmetic surgery in Bollywood, many liked to live a lie.
Cover Asia Press / Sasmit Choudhary Sofia says she is much happier now
"I never confessed to my 2010 boob job and botox sessions and fell into the trap of not admitting my enhancements also but I didn’t take any of the attention or glamour too seriously."
Sofia didn’t move to India full-time, instead she spent many months a year in Mumbai, and then often returned home to London.
Her career went from strength to strength often earning £20,000 a photoshoot as a model.
And in 2012 she was chosen as one of the Big Boss celebrity housemates, India’s popular version of Celebrity Big Brother .
Sofia said: "I lived a life of crazy parties and extreme wealth where people constantly took drugs but all the while there was a sense of emptiness.
"I very much got caught up in that and took cocaine myself at parties. It was an easy life to live but it was very wrong.
"I dated cricketer Rohit Sharma. I also dated other men from Bollywood and London and I thought it was real love, but it was just an existence; it was not a life.
"They often partied all weekend and sometimes got home at 11am on a Sunday; I had no idea where they’d been.

"One used prostitutes and once took me along thinking it was sexy but it made me feel sick and I realised this wasn’t the life I wanted. Deep down it was empty."
Back in London in summer 2014, Sofia was at a 5-star hotel for a treatment when she spotted the services of a spiritual healer. She was intrigued.
"I asked the receptionist about it and she told me he was much cheaper if I visited him at his home,’ she said.
"So I made an appointment. I’d never had an experience like it. I felt like I’d had an out of body experience. The healer told me I had a special gift."
Following the session Sofia began to look into spiritual practices and Reiki, which is said to channel healing energies through the power of touch.
Cover Asia Press / Sasmit Choudhary Sofia now wants a simple life
She said: "I didn’t really know what to make of it all but I felt this natural pull to want to know more."
That summer, many unusual experiences began to add up.
She said: "One time that summer I was seeing a friend of mine, former Miss Great Britain Liz Fuller.
"She’d been told by her doctor that she didn’t have any eggs and was clinically infertile. She was naturally upset.
"But believing my healer and some of his predictions, I offered to give her my own healing session and she agreed.
"Remarkably, just two hours later she said she could feel her ovaries bubbling. And a few months later she called me and told me the doctor said she was extremely fertile and she went ahead and froze her eggs.
"Since then, my life continued to evolve in remarkable ways."
Sofia had a boyfriend that summer but she said all physical desires died.
"I suddenly felt like all my sexual desires had died inside of me. I did not have an urge to do anything. I was very sure when I ended that relationship."
Then, in September, Sofia went to an Ayahuasca retreat, in Yorkshire. Ayahuasca is an hallucinogenic tea, famous in South America, used by people seeking enlightenment.
Sofia said: "Someone I knew had taken it and told me that they saw a vision of me so I wanted to know what it was all about. What would I experience?"
But while on this private retreat Sofia said she took part in a Ayahuasca tea ceremony and had an experience that was the catalyst of her new life.

"I had an out of body experience," she said. "I saw the Goddess Isis, Mother Mary, so many and I was clearly told I was on this earth to awaken it."
Coincidently, that same day Sofia tragically found out her father had died.
During the tea ceremony she said her father took over her body.
She added: "My parents didn’t agree with my lifestyle so we had not been speaking for 13 years.
"But when I lost my father I suspected I would see him. During the spiritual ceremony my father took over my body and talked through me. It was very sacred.
"And I was at peace at his funeral because of that experience.
"I believe I would’ve been a mess and killed myself if that had not happened.
"I believe Ayahuasca saved me and showed me what happens when you die and helped me deal with my grief."
Sofia was becoming more convinced she was someone or represented something quite spiritually remarkable.
In September last year Sofia attended the high profile premieres of Tom Hardy’s Legend and in December Eddie Redmayne’s The Danish Girl wearing her usual trademark provocative outfits but that month she spent her Christmas and New Year in Egypt believing angels had sent her.
She said: "I went alone.
"I just needed to go and learn more about what I was feeling.
"I visited the pyramids and every time I entered, I experienced an overwhelming pull. I felt spirits were trying to communicate with me and I felt an energy that I had never connected with before.
"My guide at the pyramids was amazed by the affect it had on me. The Guardians of the Temples told him a prophecy about Goddess Isis.
"He translated that the guards said I was the prophecy. I left feeling more empowered than I ever had before and I knew that I was destined for more than what I was living.
"I was beginning to believe that I was like no other person," she added. "I felt this exceptional purpose, this power that no one else possessed.
"It became clear that I could no longer continue as an actor, wear makeup and hide behind a mask. I was beginning to feel pure and cleansed.
Cover Asia Press / Sasmit Choudhary Sofia has ditched make-up and had her boob implants removed
"I was being elevated into a life that had no place for drugs, parties, or sexual promiscuity."
In April this year, Sofia had her breast implants removed, she stopped drinking alcohol, stopped smoking and going to parties and she turned vegan.
"I was committed to living a new life and washing away the old me. I washed and stored all of my designer dresses and shoes and I haven’t worn jeans or heels or make-up since."
As a renowned actress and name on the celebrity circuit Sofia felt she needed to explain her decisions. So later that month she flew to India and held a press conference in Mumbai.
Dressed in a white organic cotton dress she explained to the Indian media her wishes to step away from the life she was famous for and to follow a new path.
Many of her famous Bollywood colleagues did not support her and the Indian media felt she was hugely hypocritical but she was determined to stand her ground.
She added: "I know what I feel. My life is like a second coming and I am the reincarnation of Goddess Isis. I don’t care what other people think. I know what I am here for now and the prophecy is most definitely real.
"I’ve not had sex since last year and I’ll never have sex again. It’s not about wanting or not wanting children but I am now committed to other people, my children."
Sofia now calls herself Gaia Mother Sofia, the Divine Sofia, and she spends her days meditating for five hours, visiting a girl’s orphanage when in India and meeting with people for healing sessions back in London.

Even though Sofia was raised a Muslim, she converted to Catholicism in 2006 and taught herself about Hinduism in 2012.
But she doesn’t follow any religion now and instead believes in spiritual unity as a Holy Mother.
She said: "More and more people are now coming to know about me and so I’m getting more people coming for healing sessions. I use telepathy, the power of my hands, as well as crystals.
"I can communicate with people who have passed away, and people come to me for that and it often gives people closure during their grief. I also remove emotional blockages that cause illnesses.
"Some people visit me for medical issues while others come for personal issues.
"This will now become my full vocation and I’m currently having a temple and ashram built in my home to be finished next month. It’s a £50,000 extension where I will use it as a meditating room where people I meet can relax, connect with themselves and find inner peace.
Cover Asia Press / Sasmit Choudhary Sofia on the beach in India
"It will be called the Temple of Awakening, and it will be the first Orgone temple in the world. The materials I’m using in the floor produce such a strong vibration it removes any negative atoms in the body, removes stress, and cures cancer cells.
"If someone sits inside for 20 mins three times a week it can help a number of illnesses. It will be a first of it’s kind."
Sofia still gets offered TV work but she will only accept jobs where she can be the new Sofia.
She said she was recently offered a presenter job for £500,000 but they wanted long hair, make-up and ‘busty Sofia’ so she turned it down.
"I no longer earn money as I did even though I still get TV offers. TV appearances want the old me. I now live off my savings and people also pay for my services.
" I’m not comfortable charging but people do pay me, people want to give and I have to pay my mortgage and living expenses at the end of the day but that’s it. Anything extra I make will go to my girls’ orphanage that I support in India."
Sofia has no regrets about her old life and believes it has made her who she is today.
Now, she orders organic white cotton and has her simple dresses and yoga pants and t-shirts made to order, as well as her white head-dress.
She plans to sell all her designer clothes, shoes and handbags and donate the proceeds to charity.
She added: "My friends are hugely supportive of me and often visit me for healing sessions and I help them with personal issues.
"I haven’t had a good relationship with my mother since I became famous many years ago but now that I am covering myself up and living a more grounded life she might open the doors to me but either way I am content.
"My previous life was absolutely wonderful and I learnt so much but this journey is now equally beautiful. I don’t dwell on my own needs any more. My life is dedicated to others and I feel fully content with that."

Scientists refuse to rule out if ALIENS are behind mystery radio signal 94 light-years away

The mysterious signals could potentially point to intelligent life beyond Earth
Scientists have refused to rule out if aliens are behind a mysterious radio signal coming from 94 light-years away.
A Russian radio telescope discovered the signal coming from a star in deep space, raising the possibility of intelligent life beyond Earth.
An international team of astronomers from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence ( SETI ) is tracking the frequency in the hope of uncovering its source.
Experts are probing several theories but are not ruling out the possibility of another race trying to contact us.
Getty Are aliens trying to contact us?
Seth Shostak, a Senior Astronomer at SETI Institute, said: “The chance that this is truly a signal from extraterrestrials is not terribly promising, and the discoverers themselves apparently doubt that they’ve found ET.
“Nonetheless, one should check out all reasonable possibilities, given the importance of the subject."
The baffling "alien" broadcast was first picked up by the Ratan-600 telescope in Zelenchukskaya, Russia in May 2015 but was kept under wraps until now.
The signals are thought to be coming from star HD164595, which is located in the Hercules star constellation some 95 light years away.
The star is just 99% of the size of Earth's own sun. So far, just one planet - named HD 164595b - has been discovered orbiting the star.
Getty The signals were originally discovered by a Russian radio telescope
The planet is thought to be a similar size to Neptune, but with a warmer atmosphere.
While the experts have not gone as far as claiming that the bizarre signal is the result of an extraterrestrial species, they have said that "permanent monitoring" is essential.
Based on the findings, Claudio Maccone of the University of Turin in Italy is set to call for continuous tracking of the signal during a presentation planned for the International Academy of Astronautics 2016 meeting on 27 September.
The prominent space scientist has also suggested that the signal could come from a "type I civilization".
The phrase comes from the Kardashev scale, which was developed in the 1960s and named after Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev.
The scale, which goes from I to III, suggests that a type I civilisation would have a similar level of technological development as Earth.
As the signals are being broadcast over such a wide spectrum, it is difficult for experts to tell exactly what they are coming from.
It is possible that the signals could be the result of stellar noise such as a quasar.
SETI's own radio telescope in California is now scanning the relevant coordinates in an attempt to find and track the signals.

Voice of the Mirror: Apple's 'sweetheart' tax deal with Ireland is rotten to the core
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
The European Commission has ordered Ireland to demand £11billion in taxes from Apple
Tax avoider Apple’s £11billion fine must be only the start of the fightback against giant corporations evading their public dues in Britain and Europe.
The bite out of the tech giant’s profits is a huge prize for the European Union and shames an Ireland which lost all self-respect when it let the firm pay as little as 0.005% tax.
Rich companies aggressively avoiding tax, playing off countries against each other, isn’t a victimless crime when that money would pay for nurses, teachers, soldiers and police officers.
The European Commission has ordered Ireland to demand £11billion in taxes from Apple
The less the wealthy pay the more ordinary workers are forced to contribute.
So let London and Brussels pursue all those accused of paying too little by ensuring those profiting here must play, and pay, fair.
The race to the bottom in corporate tax benefits the international elite at the cost of decency and good public services.
We congratulate the European Commission for fining the bad Apple but there are more companies spoiling this particular barrel.

Darkest day in rock history: How violence at Rolling Stones' Altamont festival went beyond infamous Hells Angels murder

Jim McDonald remembers every ride he got hitch-hiking from Santa Cruz to the free concert by the Rolling Stones at Altamont that clear but chilly December day in 1969.
But he only barely remembers leaving the concert.
Airlifted by a police helicopter out of the concert site, he arrived at a nearby hospital with no vital signs, flatlined, actually dead.
Although McDonald was revived by emergency room doctors, the two fellows sitting next to him were killed for good when a stolen car driven through the crowd by an LSD-crazed concert-goer up to speeds of sixty miles-per-hour crashed into the campfire where they were sitting.

While the entire world was aware of the stabbing death of Meredith Hunter, an eighteen year-old black petty criminal attending the Rolling Stones concert with his pretty, white girlfriend, killed by a member of the Hells Angels motorcycle club, the deaths of Mark Salvov and Richard Feiger went entirely unnoticed in the history of the ill-fated Altamont concert.
Hunter’s notorious killing was the centerpiece of the documentary film made that day by filmmakers Albert and David Maysles, “Gimme Shelter,” which has stood for the past forty-plus years as the official record of the event, even though the Stones themselves were partners in the production of the film.

McDonald, who had caught the Stones during the U.S. tour that preceded the free concert at Oakland a month earlier, was excited by reports he heard on the radio all week of a planned free concert planned by the Stones as a kind of Woodstock West.

It was to be a repeat of the massive open-air free concert that had drawn a half-million to a farm in upstate New York only a few months before.
He was surprised to hear on Friday morning that the concert, planned to take place at a motor sports raceway in Sonoma County, forty-five minutes north of San Francisco, had been suddenly moved to a scrubby patch of land on the edge of the Central Valley an hour to the east of the city, a mere thirty-six hours before it was scheduled to start.
The story of Altamont, rock’s darkest day, has never been fully told.
The Maysles vivid, wrenching film only captured a small slice of the massive, pervasive violence that swamped the day and obscured a lot of the details that would point to responsibility for the catastrophe.

The film’s own role in creating the disaster – the Stones adamantly refused to negotiate with the owners of the Sonoma County racetrack, who wanted a piece of the distribution rights to any film that would be made at the concert – is never mentioned.
But that is the sole reason the concert was recklessly moved at the last minute from a safe, practical location to a bare patch of land in the middle of nowhere with no parking, food, water or sanitation.
In 1969, the Stones found themselves utterly broke.
Their manager had bottlenecked all their royalties and they were advised the only way to solve their financial problem was to form a new company in which their manager did not participate and tour the U.S.

In the three years since the Stones last appeared in America, the rock scene had exploded and the Stones arrived in Los Angeles to prepare for the tour to discover that the band was on the precipice of the greatest popularity in their already immensely successful career.
With a major studio film of the Woodstock festival looming for release early the next year, the Stones quickly threw together plans to make a film of their own.

Those plans did not come together until the penultimate dates of the tour at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, for which the Maysles managed to gather a film crew and shoot on less than twenty-four hours notice.
But the Madison Square Garden shows, great as they were, would not be enough for a feature film.
Photo by Beth Bagby Things turned nasty during the Rolling Stones show
For that, they would need the massive free concert finale.
Plans for the Stones to throw a free concert on the band’s American tour came from a late night summit meeting between Stones guitarist and Grateful Dead manager Rock Scully, who had been arrested carrying LSD into London at Heathrow Airport when he came to England to meet with producers who wanted to throw free concerts in London’s Hyde Park.

Free concerts in the park had long been a specialty of the storied San Francisco hippie rock scene and the Grateful Dead were chief among the practitioners.
Scully suggested to Richards that he could arrange for a concert in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park to feature the Dead and their counterparts in the San Francisco scene, Jefferson Airplane, and announce the Rolling Stones as a surprise special guest the day before the show, long after the permits for the concert had been issued.

When the Stones front office demanded they take over the permit application, a tricky process which the Dead thoroughly understood, the door quickly closed on the possibility of using Golden Gate Park.
Stones vocalist Mick Jagger nevertheless announced the free concert and the date – exact location to be determined – at a New York press conference.

As late as the Tuesday before the Saturday date, there was no site, when they struck a deal with the management of Sears Point Raceway in Sonoma.
The next day, the raceway’s corporate owners stepped up and demanded a percentage of the film’s distribution for the concert to proceed.
Photo by Beth Bagby The Rolling Stones appealed for calm in the crowd
The Stones hired flamboyant San Francisco attorney Melvin Belli to help negotiate and, on Thursday afternoon, his office received a call from Dick Carter, who operated a dilapidated auto racetrack on the remote edge of Contra Costa County called Altamont Speedway.
Carter, nearly out of business after running the track for little more than a year, offered his speedway as a location for free.

All he wanted was the publicity.
Dead manager Scully and Woodstock producer Michael Lang, in town to lend his support, helicoptered in from the Dead’s Marin County headquarters to check the site.
As Scully surveyed the blackened asphalt track, littered with broken glass, oil stains and piles of motor vehicle hulks leftover from demolition derbies, he was astonished to hear Lang speak up. “This is perfect,” said Lang. “We can do it here.”
Photo by Beth Bagby The Hells Angels got drunk and violent
While a convey of volunteers, brought to the Sonoma raceway by appeals broadcast from radio stations, transported the stage and sound system the sixty miles to Altamont, helicopters ferrying huge pieces of metal, stage hands raised the production overnight in the dark at the new site.
People were still plugging in cables when the first act of the day, red-hot Latin-rockers from San Francisco’s Mission District, Santana, kicked the concert into gear around noon the next day.

With the Sonoma venue planned to be built around a bowl with the stage perched on a rise at one end, only enough material for a four-foot tall stage was available (Stones tour producer Chip Monck ordered the construction at Altamont of four sixty-foot light tower, unaware that neither the spotlights or operators would ever arrive).
A piece of cord was stretched across the front row to keep the audience back.
Members of Bay Area Hells Angels had been invited to attend by Scully and the Stones road manager Sam Cutler, who supplied $500 worth of beer for the outlaw motorcycle club.
Getty Carlos Santana backstage at The Altamont
A number of Angels parked their customized Harley Davidson motorcycles in front of the stage as a kind of bulwark against the crowd.
During the first set by Santana, pool cue-wielding Angels in front of the stage began beating concert-goers, including Bert Kanegson, the Grateful Dead’s permit specialist and non-violent peace activist who had been working on the concert for the band.
He was given sixty stitches in his head and wrapped in a bandage like a turban.

Random acts of violence continued all day. The crowd was unsettled and aggressive, loaded on poisonous psychedelic drugs and alcohol.
The Angels, trapped between the tiny stage and massive crowd, held their ground.
The stage groaned under the weight of two hundred people crowded on to the small platform.
During the performance by the Jefferson Airplane, one Hells Angels knocked out Airplane vocalist Marty Balin in full view of the crowd.
He also beat Balin a second time backstage, out of the sight of the crowd.
He further knocked unconscious Grateful Dead roadie Rex Jackson, who tried to come to Balin's rescue.

With Jackson, the Dead’s chief enforcer, down, everyone backstage knew who owned the stage.
When the Dead arrived and learned that Balin had been beaten and saw Kanegson and Jackson, the band decided not to play.
As the crowd waited for the Stones to take the stage after sundown, president Sonny Barger of the Oakland chapter of the Hells Angels, led a parade of motorcycles through the crowd to the front of the stage, where they, too, took their place to wait for the Stones.
By the time the band took the stage two hours later, the crowd was in an ugly mood after consuming massive amounts of drugs and alcohol and waiting in the open air without food and water.
During the third song, “Sympathy for the Devil,” Barger charged into the crowd when he saw some fan sitting on an Angel’s bike cause a short-circuit that started a fire on the bike.

Fellow Angels, not clear on what caused Barger to leap off the stage, followed him, swinging pool cues and busting heads.
The band stopped playing and Jagger started pleading with the crowd to stop fighting.
It was during the next song, “Under My Thumb,” that Meredith Hunter was pushed down after he tried to climb onstage by an Angel.
Other Angels jumped on Hunter and started beating him.
Getty Poolice mugshot Hell's Angel Alan Passaro
When he pulled out a pistol, Alan Passaro, a Hells Angel standing nearby, pulled out a knife, jumped on Hunter and stabbed him in the neck and four more times in the back, as they fell to the ground together.
Other Angels separated Passaro and stomped and kicked Hunter, eventually leaving him for concert-goers to carry backstage, where he died waiting for an ambulance.
Police, who spent the day watching from a nearby hill through binoculars (no arrests were made that day), spent more than three months investigating the killing before making an arrest.
Joel Selvin has written a book about the Altamont story
A year after the stabbing, Passaro was acquitted of murder. He was found mysteriously drowned many years later with ten thousand dollars in cash in his pockets.
But Hunter’s killing didn’t end the violence that day, despite what you may think from “Gimme Shelter.”
The beatings continued through the Stones set and, in fact, tour director Chip Monck was thrashed with pool cues and lost his front teeth during the load-out when he tried to prevent a couple of Angels from stealing the Stones elaborate stage rug.
Getty Miss Mercy, a member of The GTOs who performed at the concert
San Francisco chapter president Bob Roberts returned the rug to the Dead a couple of weeks later.
Still, not everybody had a bad time. Working on a professional film crew for the first time in his career, young filmmaker George Lucas wanted to experiment with a one thousand millimeter lens and the Maysles sent him and soundman and future Oscar winner Walter Murch to the top of the hill for some long shots.
Fiddling with the finicky camera all day, Lucas only managed to grab one shot that made the movie – the final shot in the film of the crowd stumbling out in the darkness panning to a pale moon, a hint of “Star Wars” to come.
Joel Selvin's book about rock's darkest day
Distracted by their problematic camera and far from the stage, where the pieced-together sound system was frequently garbled and intermittent, Lucas and Murch drove home that night convinced they had attended a beautiful, peaceful concert, nothing less than a replay of Woodstock.
Except for his unfortunate exit, Jim McDonald, too, had enjoyed himself immensely.
Altamont by Joel Selvin is out now as a hardback published by Dey Street Books, priced £18.99.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic could match a Premier League record when Manchester United face Hull

Ibrahimovic will attempt to score for a third league game in succession when United go to Hull
Zlatan Ibrahimovic could join an exclusive group of Premier League footballers if he scores against Hull this weekend.
The Swedish talisman has scored in his first two top flight appearances for Manchester United.
If he gets another goal against Hull on Saturday that it’ll be three in three for Zlatan.
That’s something only eight other players have managed in the history of the competition.
The first players to do it were Brian Deane and the late Dalian Atkinson.
The late Dalian Atkinson achieved the feat
Deane was famously the first person to score in the Premier League when he put Sheffield United ahead of Manchester United on August 15, 1992. Atkinson also scored that day and both players went on to score in each of their clubs’ next two league matches.
Two players have gone on longer goalscoring streaks after scoring on their debuts though.
Micky Quinn joined Coventry City on November 20, 1992 and scored in his first match, at home to Manchester City.
getty images Micky Quinn, seen here playing for Newcastle, began his Coventry career in blistering form
He then went on to score in the club’s next five league matches, taking his competition debut scoring streak to an impressive and yet to be matched six games. He scored a brace in four of those matches as well, giving him an impressive 1.7 goals per game ratio.
The next longest debut scoring streak belongs to Diego “shouldn’t have even been on the pitch” Costa. The Chelsea striker scored in his first four Premier League games for the club. He opened with a goal against Burnley and finished with a hat-trick against Swansea.
REUTERS Diego Costa scored a load of goals at the start of his Chelsea career
The three other players to have scored in their first three games are Chelsea’s Adrian Mutu, Swansea’s Michu and Bolton’’s Michael Ricketts.
Longest goalscoring streaks from debut
Micky Quinn: 6
Diego Costa: 4
Dalian Atkinson: 3
Brian Deane: 3
Michu: 3
Adrian Mutu: 3
Pavel Pogrebnyak: 3
Michael Ricketts: 3

When is the FIFA 17 release date? New features, modes and all you need to know about the latest edition
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

How FIFA 17 will come up with the pixels to represent Lionel Messi’s blonde barnet or whatever Paul Pogba has shaved into his are just a pair of the pressing concerns ahead of the game’s launch.
FIFA 17, which is actually the 24th installment of the main series, excluding World Cup or European Championship games, promises to be the most exciting football simulator yet.
Available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows and even on mobile, EA Sports’ flagship title boasts an array of brand new features.
Here, Mirror Football tells you everything you need to know about this must-buy game.
EA Sports A screenshot of FIFA 17 shows Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic execute an overhead kick
When is it out?
FIFA 17 has two separate release dates. North American players will be able to get their hands on the game on September 27 , while the rest of the world will have to wait another two days for September 29 .
Who’s on the cover?
Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez and Manchester United’s Anthony Martial were all announced as official ambassadors of the game.
After a global vote was conducted by EA, it was Reus who came out on top. He’ll be on all the mainstream editions of the game, with the attacking midfielder striking a mid-action pose.
EA SPORTS Germany international Reus came out on top in a worldwide vote
What’s new in Ultimate Team?
FIFA’s online appeal is largely rooted in the hugely successful Ultimate Team mode.
In this mode, players are represented by trading card-like avatars which you can buy, win, collect and field.
The latest developments include squad building challenges, such as forming a starting XI with just two different nationalities and a chemistry rating of over 60, as well as an FUT “Champions League” of sorts, in which gamers can compete for in-game rewards via a global leaderboard.
There’ll also be a chance to pick legends of the game from a wide range of eras. Carles Puyol is among the fold, as is George Best.
EA SPORTS FIFA FIFA 17's likeness for United striker Anthony Martial is staggeringly accurate

What’s the new story mode we’ve been hearing about?
FIFA 17 has gone all out on the immersion front and added a new story mode.
Gamers will take control of a player called Alex Hunter and guide him through his rise to football stardom.
Hunter is a 17-year-old from Clapham, whose grandfather is, of course, former England forward Jim Hunter (20 goals in the 1966-67 season).
Hunter, depending on how you choose, will start at any one of 20 Premier League clubs.
EA Sport FIFA's new story mode allows gamers to create their own version of Alex Hunter, a rising talent
What about general gameplay?
EA Sports announced at their E3 event earlier this year, that the game will feature all 20 Premier League managers’ likenesses.
There will be new attacking techniques, physical player overhaul, improved artificial intelligence and an ability to plan set-piece routines.

A boy got the fright of his life when he was squashed between two angry cows after slapping one of the enormous animals on the behind.
He could be seen in the background of a US news report as his pal in the foreground of the shot gave an emotional interview about selling his bull.
The footage shows the youngster patting the two cows on their backs as he weaves between them.
YouTube / Chris McCulley The youngster can be seen patting the cows in the background
He then elbows the huge animals to get them to move but the black cow to his left unexpectedly moves closer.
The boy then disappears from view as the two animals crowd together leaving very little room between them.
He desperately tries to signal to others in the barn for help until a strong woman appears and helps the struggling youngster.
YouTube / Chris McCulley The boy had to be helped to safety after the two cows unexpectedly moved together
She quickly pulls out the child, who appears distressed but unhurt physically after his bovine ordeal.
The boy being interviewed is completely oblivious to what is going on behind him – but the reporter briefly stumbles over her words as she watches the drama unfolding.

The footage, taken by person on the other side of the motorway, shows a large, white lorry stationary as a group of people stand close-by.
Debris is littered across the road and the top of the lorry's trailer appears to have been completely shorn off.
The camera then pans across and shows a number of people standing in the road watching the incredible scenes.
Read our live blog for the latest on the M20 motorway bridge collapse.
Part of the bridge - leading across the other side of the motorway - remains in tact and the camerawoman, Fade Ogunro, zooms in to show the point where a portion of the bridge cracked free and came smashing down onto the lorry.
Startled drivers get out of their car to find out what has happened after the bridge came crashing down
Twitter The bridge was seen to come crashing down on the rear end of a lorry
She then zooms in to show a group of emergency services apparently treating a person lying injured under the bridge.
To the side, the bridge can be seen smashed through a portion of the trailer but incredible police revealed there was just one reported injury.
It is not thought to be life-threatening.

X Factor rapper Honey G looks unrecognisable after ditching her hip hop attire for makeup and hair serum

Honey G has become a household name following her X Factor debut on Saturday.
The aspiring rapper's rendition of Missy Elliot's Work It secured her a place at Boot Camp and has now been watched online over half a million times.
But if the 35-year-old rising star walked past her fans in the street without her hip hop attire, they might not recognise her.
In snaps taken earlier this year, Honey G - real name Anna Georgette Gilford - looks like a completely different person without her trademark tracksuit, giant shades and baseball cap.
In one pic which was posted on her Facebook account back in April, Honey G looks a far cry from a gangster rapper, donning glossy pink lip stick with her long brunette locks resting on her shoulders.
But it looks doubtful fans will see much of the star's softer side as she embraces her inner lyrical gangster.
The X Factor hopeful isn't rocking her trademark gangster rapper look here
During an exclusive chat with Mirror Online earlier today, she opened up about her ambition to be taken seriously as a rapper.
She said: "Me coming into the competition is like a breakthrough - the judges need to wake up to that. This isn't a joke.
Facebook Honey G nailed rap's iconic hand gestures at an early age
"Nothing about me is like a joke act. Or a joke ting. It's real, it's serious. It's about getting my music across and staying true to the game. I'm the real deal. I'm the realest chick. I'm the realest chick in the game right now. There are a lot of brilliant artists doing really good things but I can bring something new to the table."

Cash-strapped Venezuelans forced to use flat-pack cardboard coffins as violent crime leaves thousands dead

Cash-strapped Venezuelans are buying up cardboard coffins amid a major economic crisis in the country that has triggered outbreaks of violent crime and shortages of the raw materials needed to make wooden versions.
The deep recession means brass, varnish and satin are in short supply – and the £200 cost of a casket is 12 times the average salary making them a luxury for most citizens.
Coffin production has dropped some 50% in recent months and funerals are skyrocketing as violent crime left at least 11,000 people dead last year.
But now two entrepreneurs have come up with cardboard ‘biocofre’ coffins that disintegrate in the ground and cost just £50 each, slashing funeral costs by as much as 80%.
REUTERS Coffin production has drastically dropped in Venezuela
Alejandro Blanchard and Elio Angulo have heralded the waterproof crates as an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional caskets.
REUTERS Elio Angulo lies inside one of his cardboard caskets
The crates – which are made of recycled corrugated cardboard – have been popular in Europe and the US for years but have not taken off in Venezuela until now.
Alejandro said: "Death impoverishes the masses. It's a cost that people have to take on and they are never prepared for it.
REUTERS The crates have been popular in Europe and the US but have only just taken off in Venezuela as families buy them out of economic necessity
“And the way things are right now, when you have to take it on, you find it is very expensive because funeral services are very expensive.
“So the biocofre, which has the benefit of being ecological, is a pretty good solution to what is going on in Venezuela right now."
REUTERS A wooden coffin can cost 12 times the average salary in the South American country
“To build a conventional coffin, three trees are cut down while only one tree is cut down to make 100 biocofres.
“More than 70 percent of the raw material of a biocofre is recycled," he said.

Strictly's Craig Revel Horwood reveals the REAL reason Len Goodman is quitting

www.mirror.co.uk

Strictly Come Dancing’s Craig Revel Horwood has revealed head judge Len Goodman quit the show in favour of US version Dancing With The Stars, because he could no longer stomach the transatlantic lifestyle.
Len, 72, announced he will quit the show at the end of this series, and now pal Craig, 51, reveals: “It was all the travelling.
“The American gig is good for him because he can go out for two months it’s a shorter season and it pays more money.
“He doesn’t have to fly back and forwards which is exhausting even if you are drinking champagne in first class.”

The pair have both been on the panel since it kicked off in 2004, and Craig adds: “I will miss him a lot.
"I’ll miss our battling most definitely and all the pointing of the fingers. It’ll be really quite bizarre when he’s not there.”
Despite being tipped to replace his pal in the head judge seat, Craig admits he has his reservations about taking on the role.
BBC Len Goodman is quitting the show because of all the travelling
“I think it’s great to get new blood in and I rather like the role I have played over the years,” he told The Sunday Post.
“So I don’t know whether or not I’d like that continuously.”
He is still enjoying his role as the show’s nastiest judge, admitting: “Coming in on a Saturday and slating a few celebrities is an absolute delight. I love it.”

In a dig at the BBC show’s ITV rival, the X Factor, Craig jokes that the show serves to talent search for his theatre productions.
“We have celebrities, whereas on The X Factor they’re wannabes hoping to be famous,” the Australian dancer and choreographer quips.
“I’d love to keep The X Factor going, because I’ve employed Alexandra Burke in my Sister Act show.
“Simon Cowell is doing all the leg work for me in finding stars which I don’t need to do. I couldn’t be happier with that and it hasn’t cost me any money.”

One Direction left a massive gap in the market when they decided to go on hiatus, but whether they do or don't reunite in the future may not matter now that the X Factor has discovered their replacement.
Teenage fans across the country have been whipped into a frenzy by the latest boy band to come out of X Factor, Yes Lad.
X Factor supremo, Simon Cowell, created 1D and he may just have the next big thing on his hands again with this new talented young group of boys.
Viewers, most of which we're sure are teenage girls, have tweeted in droves about their new fave boys. One person said: "Is this the new One Direction?".
Syco/Thames/Dymond Yes Lad think they could be the next One Direction
Syco/Thames/Dymond How impressed were the X Factor judges?
Another avid fan excitedly tweeted: "Omg I take what I said #yeslad are great proper lads and very entertaining #XFactor ".
While somebody else posted suggesting they liked the boys' vocals, but hated their group name: "The next One Direction, but a dreadful name".
Omg I take what I said #yeslad are great proper lads and very entertaining #XFactor — Mitchell WEBB (@MitchellWebb85) August 27, 2016
The group is made up of five lads from and around Manchester. Having formed in a bedroom in Salford, the cheeky chaps think they have what it takes to make it to the final.
According to Yes Lad, they came up with their name because where they're from they say "Yes Lad" as a greeting to each other.
This is a serious endeavour by the group, aged 16 to 21, who have given up their day jobs in order to focus fully on being singers.
The next One Direction, but a dreadful name #yeslad #XFactor — Ian Freeman (@ianfreeman) August 27, 2016
Syco/Thames/Dymond Yes Lad sang Justin Timberlake's Can't Stop the Feeling
Syco/Thames/Dymond The lads have quit their jobs to focus on the band
Watching One Direction go on to be a major success despite not winning the show inspired them to enter the singing competition, but does Simon Cowell see talent in them? Apparently yes.
They sang Justin Timberlake's Can't Stop the Feeling and had the judges split on their opinions of them and whether they were all equally as talented as each other.
Simon instantly picked out one the boys for praise and said that he was more talented than the rest, but he refused to say which one he meant.

iPhone 7 launch date CONFIRMED - Apple to unveil its new smartphone next week
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Apple has sent out media invitations for an event next week, where it is widely expected to unveil its next flagship handset - the iPhone 7 .
The event is taking place at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco on Wednesday, September 7, at 10am local time, (6pm BST).
Apple often likes to include a hidden message in its invitations, but this one gives very little away.
It carries the tagline "See you on the 7th" - which may allude to the name "iPhone 7", as well as the date.
Getty
It also features a number of translucent coloured bubbles, which may relate to the rumour that Apple is planning to introduce new coloured handsets.
However, these bubbles could also be water droplets - which would be relevant if Apple was planning to launch a waterproof iPhone.
Rumours have been swirling about the iPhone 7 for many months, with numerous rumours and leaked photos adding fuel to the frenzy.
The most persistent (and controversial) rumour is that Apple is going to get rid of the headphone socket.
YouTube/9to5Mac Leaked iPhone 7 v the iPhone 6
This means you will either have to buy a pair of headphones that use a Lightning cable, get an adapter, or use Bluetooth headphones.
There are a lot of rumours that the iPhone 7 will get a camera upgrade - but this may only apply to the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus, not the 4.7-inch iPhone 7.
The rumour is that it the larger iPhone will get a dual-lens camera that will be able to snap SLR-quality photos and 3D images.
There has been a lot of talk about Apple removing the Home button, but the latest rumours suggest this will be a key feature of next year's model.
Instead, Apple could add some pressure-sensitivity to the Home button, meaning it will perform different functions depending on how hard you press it.
The latest leaked pictures suggest that Apple is going to get rid of the plastic lines that run across the back of the iPhone.
These lines currently allow radio signals to pass through the metal casing and reach the antennas. However, it looks like Apple may be planning to redesign the case to get around this restriction.
There is some suggestion that the iPhone 7 will be waterproof. Smartphone rivals like Samsung already make waterproof phones - and this is a big selling point for people prone to clumsiness.
Herman Haidin
Apple has improved the water-resistance of its devices in recent years, but it yet to release a fully waterproof phone.
Earlier rumours suggested that the new handset will no longer come in a 16GB model – but that the top-of-the-range iPhone will now offer 256GB of storage.
It's also expected to feature fast-charging technology - meaning your phone will get several hours of battery life from just a few minutes of charging.
Finally, there have been several leaked pictures purporting to show a blue iPhone 7, suggesting Apple may be considering different colour options.
We'll be following all the build-up to the iPhone 7 launch, and the event itself on Mirror Online, so stay tuned.

Boy dies after being buried alive while digging tunnel in sand dune

Eoin Corcoran was trapped after sand dune collapsed on him
A boy of 14 died after being buried by sand while tunnelling in a beach dune.
Tragic Eoin Corcoran was submerged from the knees up when tonnes of sand collapsed and crushed him on February 5, an inquest heard.
A young friend who was with him desperately tried to pull him out and was joined by passing dog walker Matthew Robins who heard him calling for help.
Mr Robins told the inquest said: "I was hoping in my heart of hearts to see a group of kids having a laugh and then I saw the legs.
"It was a huge effort [to pull him out].
"I felt hopeless from the moment I saw Eoin's face, but you just have to keep going."
The youngster died from sand inhalation and traumatic asphyxiation after being buried for around ten minutes in one of the biggest dunes on St Ouen's Bay in Jersey.
Eoin had started digging a tunnel into what is known in the area as the "100-footer" with his friend in an attempt to seek shelter from the wind, but it collapsed.

He was eventually pulled free with each rescuer taking one foot each and Mr Robins tried to resuscitate him for around 30 minutes but was unsuccessful.
Paramedics later arrived at the scene and the youngster was taken to hospital but was declared dead at 8.10pm.
Advocate Mark Harris said it was likely that Eoin died while being buried in the sand.
He said: "They (the attempted rescuers) should be commended, but it is a very likely truth that Eoin died while buried in the sand and before help could be obtained."
Eoin's father Michael Corcoran paid tribute to his son at the inquest and described him as "a beautiful boy."
He added: "We loved him dearly and he gave us a lot of love."
Eoin's school at Les Quennevais described the Year 10 pupil as a "gentle and caring young boy".
Mr Robins was commended for his actions by Eoin's father and Deputy Viscount Mark Harris at the hearing.
People are now being warned about the dunes and The Environment Department on the island is reviewing signage in the dunes to see if it needs to be improved.
The department has also offered to work with schools to make pupils aware of the dangers.

A Red Hot Chili Peppers fan thought the band's Reading Festival set would be the perfect way to propose to his music loving girlfriend.
As the lights went up and everyone began to leave, Scot Haley, 39 from Newquay, popped the question to his now-fiancée Anna Harris.
He got down on one knee immediately after the headliner's performance on Saturday, August 27 - and a crowd began to form around the couple.
But the romantic chap said he forgot to do just one thing - capture the moment he proposed.
The long-distance couple, who have to travel more than four hours to see each other, have now put out a desperate plea to anyone who saw the beautiful moment.
They have since found someone with photos of the proposal - but they are really hoping to find footage.

Anna, 27, told Get Reading : "I'm so happy, for someone who is besotted with music, it was my perfect proposal."
But despite the pair picking out a ring months ago, Anna, who runs her own online jewelry store, said she is "still in shock" over the proposal as she had no idea he had even bought the ring.
"We'd picked a ring together months back, but I had no idea he'd bought the ring, let alone that he was going to propose.

"The gig had just finished, we were about to leave and he stopped to kiss me and tell me he loved me and I remember thinking, how sweet it was that he just stopped me like that."
And the moment the artist got down on one knee, a large crowd formed around the couple as Scot asked the biggest question of his life.

"We cuddled for a second whilst I told him how much I loved him. Then he said 'I want to be with you forever' and then he moved away from me and reached into his pocket and said 'with that being said, will you marry me?’"
Now Anna, from Leamington Spa, is hoping someone in the crowd managed to catch the moment he proposed on video.
"I remember turning at one point to see a crowd around us, and someone definitely had the flash shining on their phone, I'm sure it was a video they had taken.
"But there were a lot of people around us, so I'm hoping there was more than one person that took a photo or video."
After finding the photos today, Anna said: "We are so happy!!! This is amazing. Fingers crossed someone else comes forward with a video too."

Who is Sally Jones? As 'British child' appears in chilling ISIS video, white widow steps back into limelight
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

This week the world was horrified by the revelation that a boy seen executing Kurds in a horrifying ISIS propaganda video could be the son of British jihadi Sally Jones.
Anti-terror cops are looking at whether the light-skinned boy, dubbed Abu Abdullah Al-Britani on a sickening video, is the 11-year-old son of Jones, who now goes by the name Umm Hussain Britaniyah.
The 47-year-old is originally from from Chatham, Kent, and was a guitarist in all-girl rock band Krunch. She reportedly lived on welfare and worked as a perfume saleswoman for L’Oreal.
The mother-of-two fled to Syria with her youngest son JoJo, who was born in December 2004.
The terrorists's dead husband, Junaid Hussain, was the leader of the Islamic State's "digi-jihad" hacking brigade until he was killed in a drone strike last year .
Following Hussain's death in Raqqa, Syria, she tweeted that she was proud her "husband was killed by the biggest enemy of Allah".
She added that she would "never love anyone but him".

On September 28, 2015, the United Nations sanctioned Jones as an agent operating on behalf of a terrorist organisation.
She has used her Twitter account to spread propaganda for the group, and has tweeted of her wish to behead a Western prisoner in Syria and behead Christians with a "blunt knife".
Earlier this year the former punk rocker issued terrifying threats on social media as a response to US-led coalition airstrikes on ISIS forces in Syria and Iraq.
She wrote: "To be honest I wouldn't go into Central London through June ... or even July well to be honest I wouldn't go there at all especially by Tube."
Jones also wrote: "U can't just sit there with ur tea & scones ordering RAF drone strikes on UK brothers with no comeback from the Islamic state."

Jones is one of the world's most wanted terrorists and is believed to be on a hit list of 20 jihadis who will be targeted by the SAS in Syria, according to a report citing military sources.
She is understood to have ordered "hackers" to compile a dossier showing the names and addresses of 76 of the most prominent unmanned flying vehicle (UAV) operators in the US Airforce.
It also emerged that Jones has been training WOMEN jihadis for attacks on the UK and Europe and also encourages women to join the so-called Caliphate on social media.
She has also previously hinted that she wanted to find “paradise” by becoming an ISIS suicide bomber.

Comings and goings? Zouma is in demand while Chelsea are keeping tabs on De Vrij
Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma is the subject of a loan bid from Schalke.
The German club approached the Blues over the weekend regarding the talented 21-year-old who should return within weeks following knee ligament damage sustained last season.
Antonio Conte is expected to veto the move, however, as he is keen for Zouma to be reintegrated back into the Chelsea first-team as he regains his fitness.
The Blues are still pursuing a number of defensive options with Lazio 24-year-old Stefan De Vrij in their sights.
The interest in the Dutchman, who has 30 caps for his country, comes after failed bids for AC Milan’s Alessio Romagnoli and Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly.

Manchester United's Bastian Schweinsteiger rejects Sporting Lisbon move to stay at Old Trafford
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Sticking around: Schweinsteiger has no intention of leaving Old Trafford
Manchester United are struggling to offload Bastian Schweinsteiger before the close of the transfer window.
The German star has no future at the club under Jose Mourinho and is training with the club's reserve side, with no hope of first-team football.
But Schweinsteiger is standing his ground and has turned down a move to Portuguese side Sporting, reports the Daily Record.
Here is the full story by Duncan Castles :
Bastian Schweinsteiger has rejected the offer of regular first-team football at Sporting, informing Manchester United that he intends to remain at Old Trafford regardless of the absence of any playing opportunities - until January.
United were ready to allow Schweinsteiger to join the Lisbon club on a free transfer, and were also prepared to heavily subsidise the Germany international's salary in the Portuguese league.
Alexander Hassenstein No go: The German has rejected a move to Portugal
With United manager Jose Mourinho making it clear to Schweinsteiger that there was no prospect of him being included in his first-team squad, the midfielder's agent is also understood to have been in favour of the move.
Schweinsteiger, 32, was signed from Bayern Munich for €9m in the 2015 transfer window on the request of then-United manager Louis van Gaal.
Having started just 82 Bundesliga matches in the four preceding seasons, the midfielder managed only 13 starts in the Premier League before succumbing to injury again in April. His behaviour around the club is understood to have provoked anger amongst United's senior players.
The German has been looking to move outside Europe for personal and financial reasons, with Major League Soccer and the Chinese Super League his most likely destinations.
United's willingness to financially support Sporting's recruitment of Schweinsteiger's reflected an urgency to move him out of the club before the summer window closes tomorrow.
Stuart Franklin Struggle: Schweinsteiger's debut season was disappointing last term
Matthew Lewis Decision made: Mourinho will not be using Schweinsteiger
Speaking on Tuesday ahead of his final international for Germany, Schweinsteiger said: "My wish would be to continue playing for Manchester United. I have no personal problems with Jose Mourinho. One thing is for sure: I'm not going to stop playing football. I still believe in my own ability. I could still help Man United if given the chance."
Schweinsteiger's refusal to join Sporting has reduced the likelihood of Leicester City securing the transfer of the Portugal international Adrien Silva.
Leicester are understood to have offered Sporting €25million for Adrien, a box-to-box midfielder who was an important part of Portugal's European Championship winning squad.
While the 27-year-old wants to join the English Premier League champions, Sporting coach Jorge Jesus will only agree to the transfer if a direct replacement for Adrien is secured.

Sadly for the star, she suffered an X-rated wardrobe malfunction when the camera flashes appeared to give onlookers a glimpse of her nipples.
Kris and Corey have been together for almost two years now, after getting together following the momager's split from ex-husband Caitlyn Jenner.
The star looked happy with her hunky beau just a week after she was threatened with the release of a "sex tape" .
Christina Elizabeth Bankston from Newark, California, was arrested and charged earlier this month following claims she impersonated the momager and bombarded her with explicit messages.

Bankston was charged with 15 counts of harassing Kris, several of her family members and two assistants in 2014, as well as multiple counts of cyberstalking and hacking .
According to documents, Bankston is alleged to have sent hundreds of emails and text messages, many including sexual content.
One disturbing message read: "Can I eat you out. Oh you can't block me forever love," while another added: "Instagram me. Make me famous."

East of England Ambulance Service is paying agency staff £30 an hour - almost double the basic NHS rate - but crews would rather more full-time staff instead

Scandal of the £6MILLION private ambulance bill due to shortage of paramedics
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

The East of England Ambulance Service is already under fire for failing to meet callout target times
Ambulance bosses blasted over response time failures have spent £6million in seven months hiring in transport and staff.
Scandal-hit East of England Ambulance Service is so short of paramedics it is paying £30 an hour for agency staff – almost double the basic NHS rate.
And hard-pressed crews, subjected to years of government-enforced wage restraint, say they would rather the money is spent on more full time staff.
One NHS paramedic said: “The fact they are on a lot more than their NHS counterparts has affected morale.
“Many of us are asking the question, why not use that money to boost the number of NHS workers? It’s being said the private workers are being hired so we’re not put in special measures.”
SUnday People The People's story in May this year
The trust, covering Bedfordshire, East Anglia, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Hertfordshire, has regularly missed emergency response targets amid staff shortages.
In March, just 51 per cent of urgent callouts arrived within eight minutes. The government target is 75 per cent.
In April, the People told how the trust was spending £450,000 a year on luxury cars for top bosses.
A report this month found response times at the trust had improved, although targets were still being missed.
An insider said: “We were told the trust hired hundreds of new staff to plug the gaps yet they’re still spending millions on private ambulances. It makes no sense.”
MEN Media The trust is spending paying double the basic rate to agency staff
A trust spokesman said: “These staff don’t get annual leave or sick pay, so the terms and conditions are different.
“We currently use about five response cars a day, a small percentage overall.”
Shadow Health Secretary Diane Abbott said: “Trusts are under unprecedented pressure. To waste money on inflated agency staff is unworkable.”
Unison’s Tim Roberts added: “There aren’t enough qualified staff across the whole NHS.”
The NHS spent £56million on private and voluntary 999 cover in 2015, more than double the 2012 cost.

Gene Wilder 's dedication to the magic of his most famous character, Willy Wonka, drove him to keep his battle with Alzheimer's disease a secret, his family have confirmed following his sad death.
It was announced Monday that the 83-year-old had passed away in a statement issued by his nephew Jordan Walker-Pearlman.
Revealing the actor had chosen to keep his Alzheimer's secret so that children who knew him as Willy Wonka would not equate the whimsical character with an adult disease.
The statement read: “It is with indescribable sadness and blues, but with spiritual gratitude for the life lived that I announce the passing of husband, parents and universal artist Gene Wilder at his home in Stamford, Connecticut.
“It is almost unbearable for us to contemplate our life without him.”

His nephew added: “We understand all the emotional and physical challenges this situation presented we have been among the lucky ones - this illness-pirate, unlike in so many cases, never stole his ability to recognise those that were closest to him, nor took command of his central-gentle-life affirming core personality.
"The decision to wait until this time to disclose his condition wasn’t vanity, but more so that the countless young children that would smile or call out to him “there’s Willy Wonka,” would not have to be then exposed to an adult referencing illness or trouble and causing delight to travel to worry, disappointment or confusion.
"He simply couldn’t bear the idea of one less smile in the world."
The touching message was signed off "Gene's Kid".

He is survived by his fourth wife Karen Boyer, who he married in 1991 and his nephew, Jordan Walker-Pearlman who himself has become a director.
His sister Corinne died in January this year.
He also has a daughter, Katharine, whom he adopted in 1967 when he married her mother Mary Joan Schute.
The news of his death has prompted an outpouring of grief from Hollywood with his friend Mel Brooks leading the tributes.
The director said: “Gene Wilder - one of the truly great talents of our time. He blessed every film we did with his magic & he blessed me with his friendship.”

Rob Lowe wrote: “Gene Wilder as one of my earliest heroes. Blazing Saddles, Willy Wonka, are CLINICS on comic acting. Sad to hear of his passing.”
Russell Crowe said: “I saw Blazing Saddles 7 times at the cinema with my school friends . George St. Cows outside. Gene Wilder, you were a genius. Rest in Peace.”
Oscar-nominated Juliette Lewis added: “Thank you for the beautiful words”.
Britain’s own funnyman Ricky Gervais simply used one of the star's most famous quotes from Willy Wonka writing on Twitter: “Good Day Sir!’ RIP Gene Wilder.”

The frizzy-haired actor was often cast as characters who showed signs of neurotic or hysteric behaviour.
“My quiet exterior used to be a mask for hysteria,” he told Time magazine in 1970.
“After seven years of analysis, it just became a habit.”
Twice nominated for an Oscar, his glittering career faltered after the death of his wife Gilda Radner, who he starred alongside in The Woman in Red, which left him devastated.
Friends say he never really got over her passing from ovarian cancer in 1989 and Wilder only worked infrequently after she died.
He married again in 1991 to Karen Boyer.
He returned briefly to television in the US with the sitcom “Something Wilder,” in 1994 and won an Emmy in 2003 for a guest role on “Will & Grace.”

Born Jerome Silberman in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in June 1933, he began acting at the age of eight when his mother was diagnosed with rheumatic fever.
The family’s doctor told the then schoolboy to "try and make her laugh” to take her mind off the pain she suffered.
After studying drama for two years when he turned 13 his mother Jeanne Silberman felt her son's potential was not being fully realised and sent him instead to Black-Foxe, a military institute in Hollywood.
Following his graduation after studying Communication and Theatre Arts at the University of Iowa, he was accepted at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in Bristol in 1955.
But his time in the UK was short lived after he was drafted into the army the following year.
He adopted Gene Wilder for his professional name at the age of 26, explaining, "I had always liked Gene because of Thomas Wolfe's character Eugene Gant in Look Homeward, Angel and Of Time and the River. And I was always a great admirer of Thornton Wilder.”

Following a short stint off-Broadway in 1961 Wilder won critical acclaim in Graham Greene’s comedy The Complaisant Lover.
It saw him awarded the Clarence Derwent Award as most promising newcomer but more importantly brought him to the attention of Mel Brooks.
When Wilder performed with the director’s future wife Anne Bancroft in Mother Courage it became the start of a long and famed friendship between the two men.
It led to the actor being cast in the 1967 film The Producers, in which he played the hysterical Leo Bloom, an accountant lured into a money making scam by a theatrical producer played by Zero Mostel.
Directed and written by Brooks, the film brought Wilder an Oscar nomination as best supporting actor spring-boarding him into more Hollywood roles.

In 1971 he stepped into the shoes of Willie Wonka.
Based on the children’s book by Roald Dahl, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was not an immediate hit but became a children’s favourite over the years.

Now established in Hollywood Wilder achieved further stardom in two other Brooks comedies, both in 1974.
Western spoof “Blazing Saddles” and a wacko adaptation of Mary Shelley’s famous book entitled “Young Frankenstein,” in which Wilder portrayed the mad scientist with his signature mixture of hysteria and sweetness both enjoyed box office success.
The 1980’s movie Stir Crazy starring Richard Pryor became the then biggest grossing movie earning more than $100 million.
"He simply couldn't bear the idea of one less smile in the world": The family statement in full
It is with indescribable sadness and blues, but with spiritual gratitude for the life lived that I announce the passing of husband, parent and universal artist Gene Wilder, at his home in Stamford, Connecticut.
It is almost unbearable for us to contemplate our life without him.
The cause was complications from Alzheimer's Disease with which he co-existed for the last three years. The choice to keep this private was his choice, in talking with us and making a decision as a family.
We understand for all the emotional and physical challenges this situation presented we have been among the lucky ones - the illness-pirate, unlike in so many cases, never stole his ability to recognize those that were closest to him, nor took command of his central-gentle-life affirming core personality. It took enough but not that.
The decision to wait until this time to disclose his condition wasn't vanity, but more so that the countless young children would smile or call out to him 'there's Willy Wonka,' would not have to be then exposed to an adult referencing illness or trouble and causing delight to travel to worry, disappointment or confusion.
He simply couldn't bear the idea of one less smile in the world.
He continued to enjoy art, music, and kissing his leading lady of the last twenty-five years, Karen.
He danced down a church aisle at a wedding as parent of the groom and ring bearer, held countless afternoon movie western marathons and delighted in the company of beloved ones.
He is survived by Karen[wife], Jordan [nephew] and the Webbs (Kevin, Gretchen, Tucker, Spencer)[wife's family], along with Jordan's wife Elizabeth. Gene's sister Corinne, predeceased him in January of this year.
He was eighty three and passed holding our hands with the same tenderness and love he exhibited as long as I can remember.
As our hands clutched and he performed one last breath, the music speaker, which was set to random, began to blare out one of his favorites: Ella Fitzgerald.
There is a picture of he and Ella meeting at a London Bistro some years ago that are among each oUr cherished possessions. She was singing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow,' as he was taken away'
'We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.'
Sincerely,
'Gene's Kid'

Punter's anger with betting hitch that cost him £700,000 after horse is disqualified

Ian Brown is furious that bookies are refusing to overturn a race result
A gambler is furious after he says he lost a massive £700,000 because bookies are refusing to overturn the result of a horse race after the original winner was disqualified.
Ian Brown bet just £1 each way on Josies Orders in a seven-horse accumulator at the Cheltenham Festival in March.
All six of the 34-year-old's other picks won, but Josies Orders came second in the Glenfarclas Chase behind winner Any Currency.
Ian, a chef, pocketed £500 - but now, five months on, Josies Orders has been retrospectively named winner after tests found a banned substance in the urine of Any Currency.
But despite the new result, Ian has been told that bookies are sticking by their 'all bets settled on the day' policy.
Any Currency at Cheltenham Festival, but the horse has now been stripped of its title
Single Ian, from Horncastle, Lincolnshire, who was betting with Sky Bet, said: "Obviously I'm gutted.
"Sky Bet are just standing by the 'all bets are settled on the day' line.
"£1 each way was my stake.
"There's different answers to how much I would of won.
"The bet came in at 658,125/1 but some people are saying I should of got near a million in return.
"But honestly I have no idea. Hence why I'm sticking to the £700,000."
@alderv10 This is unlikely, however, until an official statement regarding a disqualification comes out no decision will be made. — Sky Bet (@SkyBet) June 7, 2016
He added: "When it was announced back in June that Any Currency had failed the drug test I thought I would get the money but almost instantly Sky Bet were saying in Twitter that they wouldn't be paying out.
"Then yesterday when it was finally announced that any currency had been disqualified I didn't get my hopes up about getting money. Kind of already knew what Sky Bet were going to say.
Any Currency, trained in Gloucestershire by Martin Keighley, was stripped of its win by the British Horseracing Authority on Thursday.
Traces of the prohibited substance Triamcinolone Acetonide (TCA) were found in the horse's urine following the race.
The cortisone substance can be used legally to treat horses, but must have cleared their system by the day of the race.
Ian bet £1 each way on an accumulator, involving Blaklion (9/1) and Yorkhill (3/1), but it collapsed when Josies Orders - his fifth race - was beaten.
He got £500 for Josies Orders coming second.
Sky Bet are yet to respond to Ian on Twitter, but have told other punters they will not budge on the matter.
Rivals Paddy Power, who offer 'justice refunds' where stakes are returned when a horse fails to start for example, are also refusing to offering recompense.
@charlie_UofP Hey Charlie, settlement of these bets will stand I'm afraid, sorry. — Ask Paddy Power (@AskPaddyPower) June 7, 2016
Paddy Power spokesman Paul Binfield said: "Unfortunately the disqualification has left a number of people aggrieved, including the connections of Any Currency, but we aren't paying out retrospectively on Josies Orders."
It is understood those who backed Any Currency at odds of 11/1 will keep their winnings.

This is the tragic first picture of a mum stabbed to death by her husband before he slaughtered their three sons.
Teacher Clodagh Hawe was stabbed to death by husband Alan before he murdered their three sons and turned the knife on himself.
The Irish Mirror reports tormented Mr Hawe stabbed Clodagh in the throat in a downstairs room before strangling and stabbing his sleeping boys to death.
He left a note explaining why he had killed his family with instructions that it should only be opened by relatives.
He also left a note outside the property in Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan, Ireland, warning visitors not to come inside.

Mr and Mrs Hawe were found dead in the downstairs of the property by police before sons Liam, 13, Niall, 11 and six-year-old Ryan were discovered upstairs yesterday.
One of Mr Hawe's devastated friends said the dad of three was meticulous in everything he did.
The man, who asked not to be named, described the Deputy Prinicipal of Castlerahan National School as a kind and decent person who felt an overriding need to look after the people around him.
And he said he had been devoted to his wife and children throughout their 15 year marriage.
He said: "Alan never put a step wrong. What he started, he finished.
"If he said he would support you, he did. He was a man of his word and a good man and that's why this is all so confusing.
"I feel so bad for Clodagh and the boys, but for Alan too. What was he going through?
Philip Fitzpatrick Mr Hawe taught at Castlerahan Central National School
"This is the worst tragedy to hit our community ever, but the tragedy is worst of all for their families. How will they ever recover? Sure, will they even want to?
"It's impossible to understand but we will understand and the truth will come out, I feel sure of that. I've been told Alan made sure of that in some detail.
"For the man that Alan was could have left no loose ends.
"Something broke in him but even so, he would not have just walked out of this life without an explanation, without letting people know why.
"I don't know what or how he did this or why he thought it was the only way out for him and the family because he loved them all with all his heart.
"But he left his reasons for the people he loved, he explained, I know that much. And that would be typical of Alan."
The friend said he had seen no clues to the desperate state of Alan Hawes' mind in the days leading up to the murder suicide in the family home Co Cavan.
He said life had appeared to be perfectly normal before the disaster was revealed to the world in a note pinned to the back door.
It is unclear yet whether the family will be buried together.

The cost of school dinners is set to soar
School dinner prices are set to rise by nearly eight times the rate of inflation.
Parents will pay around 50p a week more for a child’s hot lunch from next week.
Unions and campaigners fear take-up rates will tumble, leaving some kids without a healthy meal each day.
Unison general secretary Dave Prentis said: “We know schoolkids who eat healthy meals get the best out of lessons.
Dave Prentis wants to see kids getting a healthy meal
“The Government should be investing in school meals, not forcing schools to put up the price. Kids will be robbed of the chance of a decent meal.”
The average school meal will rise to around £2.10 a day – up from £2.
That will infuriate TV chef Jamie Oliver , who has campaigned tirelessly for healthy school grub.
The rise of nearly five per cent is almost eight times the 0.6 per cent rate of inflation as measured by the consumer prices index.
Schools and town halls blame food and energy prices and the impact of the new living wage on labour costs.
Getty The news will infuriate Jamie Oliver
Durham has ended a three-year freeze by raising secondary school meal prices from £2 to £2.10 while junior school children will pay £2 instead of £1.95.
In Salford, Gtr Manchester, the cost is up 10p – to £2.
Hertfordshire junior schools will charge £2.35, an extra 5p, while Surrey prices rise by the same amount, to £2.20.
Schools in Havering, East London, plan a similar rise, lifting the cost to £2.20 at primary and £2.50 at secondary.
Kitchen staff face the axe at Bournemouth’s Queens Park Infant Academy, which is ditching hot meals to save on bills and will offer cold lunches instead.
A spokesman said: “We’ve no option.”

Arsenal transfer news and rumours: Antoine Griezmann 'rejected Gunners move before Euros'
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Griezmann turned down an approach from Arsenal in favour of staying in La Liga
Arsenal had their attempts to sign Antoine Griezmann rebuffed earlier this summer, according to the Sun on Sunday.
The French striker reportedly told Arsene Wenger that he had no desire to leave La Liga, where he has become one of Atletico Madrid's key men.
Wenger and Griezmann are alleged to have talked before this summer's European Championships where the forward turned down a move.
However, Arsenal maintain their interest in the 25-year-old, who has an £85.5m buy-out clause, and could try and swoop again in the future.
United join Gunners in Burke race?
Rex Burke has been attracting interest from teams up and down the country
Manchester United have joined Arsenal in the race to sign Nottingham Forest sensation Oliver Burke, according to the Sun on Sunday.
The British clubs could face competition from abroad, however, with Bayern Munich and Barcelona also following his progress after sending scouts to watch him in action.
Burke shot onto the scene with a series of impressive performances in the Championship last season and immediately attracted the attention of some of the world's top scouts.
United are reportedly now leading the race for his signature and are prepared to loan him back to the City Ground if he completes a move to Manchester.
Flamini closing in on new club
Stuart MacFarlane/Arsenal FC via Getty Flamini's time at Arsenal came to an end following the conclusion of last season
Former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini could be closing in on a new club.
Italian broadcaster Sportitalia claim that the 32-year-old, who was released by the Gunners in the summer, is attracting interest from both Roma and Torino.
Flamini played 96 times in Serie A at AC Milan in between his two spells at Arsenal.
Perez and Mustafi medicals complete
Getty Perez is set to join Arsenal in the coming days
Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Lucas Perez and Shkodran Mustafi will sign for Arsenal shortly after completing medicals, writes Mirror Football's Ed Malyon.
The Frenchman saw his side win their first game of the season at Vicarage Road this afternoon, with Alexis Sanchez starring in a 3-1 romp.
And in a post-match press conference he assured that medical checks were done, as revealed by Mirror Sport on Friday , and that the deals will be closed.
“We have bought two players Mustafi and Perez," he said.
“They’ve both had medicals but we need to complete the paperwork”

Wenger wants Ozil to score more goals
Reuters Ozil headed home Arsenal's third goal at Vicarage Road
Arsene Wenger has revealed that he wants Mesut Ozil to add goals to his game after the German's header wrapped up a 3-1 win over Watford, writes Mirror Football's Ed Malyon.
The £40million man has been important for the Gunners since signing on transfer deadline day of Augusts 2013, but his manager has asked for more in Arsenal's bid to win a first league title since 2004.
"I think what we have seen from him today is what we want from him," Wenger said after the win at Vicarage Road.
"To give assists but as well to score goals.
"So I'm very happy that he scored today because that's what he has to add to his game."
Arsenal will still improve, insists Wenger
Reuters Wenger insists that Arsenal are only going to get better from here
Arsene Wenger has claimed Arsenal are still not up to speed and could still improve - despite romping past Watford.
“I believe we shot ourselves in the foot in the first game [against Liverpool] and were under huge pressure," he said.
"We then had two difficult away games, but today I believe we had a good solid performance.
“We had a good cushion at half-time. At the moment we are not completely there physically and could see that in second half.
“Ozil is not physically there completely but what we want from Ozil is assists and goals and I hope he can get that this season, 10 or 15 goals plus the chances he creates."
Watford 1-3 Arsenal: 5 things we learned
Awesome Alexis Sanchez inspired Arsenal to their first win of the new season.
The Chilean scored, won a penalty and provided an assist as Arsene Wenger’s men continued Watford’s poor start to the new campaign.
Arsenal were 3-0 up and in cruise control by half time. They led after just nine minutes when referee Kevin Friend correctly penalised Nordin Amrabat for jumping into the back of Sanchez.
Santi Cazorla rifled the resulting spot-kick down the middle for 1-0.
Reuters Arsenal produced a dominant performance
Sanchez struck for his first goal of the season when he connected with an in-swinging ball across the box from Theo Walcott. Sanchez initially appeared to get the ball caught under his heels but sent it in while falling over.
Arsenal grabbed their third after Watford keeper Heurelho Gomes had produced a fine, one-handed save to keep out Theo Walcott.
Mesut Ozil then strolled through the home defence to send in a bullet header completely unchallenged.
New Watford signing Roberto Pereyra came off the bench to grab a debut consolation after Arsenal failed to clear a shot from Etienne Capoue. But Wenger’s men - who could have scored more - were worthy winners.
But what did we learn? Darren Lewis was at Vicarage Road...

Human attractiveness has long been down to individual preference, but now we have someone else to tell us what's hot - a robot.
The first ever beauty contest judged by artificial intelligence has been held, with a robot jury choosing the best looking people from 6,000 submissions.
The contest, conceived by Beauty.ai , asked for selfies to be sent in where subjects wore no make up, glasses or beards.
They came from all over the world, aged between 18 and 69, and scientists were also asked to submit their robot as a judge to take part in the event.
The contest was most popular in Asia with entrants from 33 countries, while Europe had 36 and Africa and North America tied with 12.
Beauty AI Beauty AI Men winners in the males aged 18-29 group as voted for by robots
Beauty AI The most attractive women from Beauty.AI aged 18-29 years old
AI was then given free reign to judge how beautiful the contestants were, but it wasn't a scattergun approach, but three robots each with a specialism.
The RYNKL robot is a wrinkle detector - also used to map wrinkle expansion over time - PIMPL analysed pimples and pigmentation and Symmetry Master focussed on balance.
Then MADIS - Model Alliance Digital Intelligence Scout - struck a comparison of the faces with like actors and models in its extensive database.
Beauty AI Men aged 30-39 years old as judged to be the most attractive by the algorithms
Beauty AI The women aged 30-39 were vetted on their wrinkles, pimples and balance of face
The overall winners were named as Polina Repik, Johanna Vikar, Gladys Avila, Maggie B, Lubov Nizharadze, Kiran Kishore, Alex Zimmermann, Sujit Manke, Paul Conley, Ark Prokop.
The website explains: "What matters in beauty is perception. Perception is how you and other people see you, and this perception is almost always biased. Still, healthy people look more attractive despite their age and nationality.
"This has enabled the team of biogerontologists and data scientists, who believe that in the near future machines will be able to get a lot of vital medical information about people's health by just processing their photos, to develop a set of algorithms that can accurately evaluate the criteria linked to perception of human beauty and health where it is most important – the human face.
"But evaluating beauty and health is not enough. The team’s challenge is to find effective ways to slow down ageing and help people look healthy and beautiful.
Beauty AI The 40-49 year old winning men who were selected by the robot jury
"There were many attempts to do this in the past, but this time it will have a global impact because of the advances in deep learning, symbolic learning and massive semantic analysis."
Contest winners were offered cosmetics prizes and robot jury teams were also given prizes - as well as, the company says, going down in history as "the first on the Earth who took part in The First International Beauty Contest Judged by Artificial Intelligence".
Set up by a team at Youth Laboratories, around 50.4% of entrants were males, and the remainder identified as female.
Beauty.AI Beauty.ai asked for submissions of robots from teams of scientists
But the results, according to the company, showed disagreements between robot and human opinion, with those not selected as winners offering criticism of the robots online.
Anastasya Georgievskaya, Research Manager at Youth Laboratories, told MailOnline : "We were shocked by the outrage caused by the leaderboard. Many participants disagreed with the jury and proposed getting a human opinion."
Konstantin Kiselev, Director of Development at Youth Laboratories added: "I think that in 2-3 years these technologies will be very important and will help facilitate human-robot interaction."
Beauty.AI Around 6,000 people worldwide submitted selfies with no make up, glasses or beards
There is another contest slated to launch in October, and Beauty.ai has welcomed contact from algorithm developers with novel concepts evaluating perception of human faces.

Slimmer who dropped from size 26 to 8 has rolls of fat removed that made her look like a 'Shar Pei dog'

Georgia at her heaviest when she weighed 23 stone,after her metabolism shutting down after she had ovarian failure
A woman has shared pictures of her unrecognisable body after she spent £90,000 on surgery to remove rolls of fat that she says made her look like a Shar-pei dog.
Georgia Ailes weighed 23 stone at her heaviest and tried countless failed diet attempts and supplements to shed the weight after suffering a hormone decline that shut down her metabolism.
But the 32-year-old decided enough was enough in 2014 and opted for surgery to solve her weight issues - namely a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
Following the surgery, Georgia, from Tri-Cities in Washington, USA, could only consume protein shakes for nearly three months and initially struggled to consume solid food - despite healing internally within three weeks.
Within two years thanks to carefully monitoring her food intake and exercising she lost 12st and her dress size dropped from a UK size 26 to a size eight.
Georgia Ailes/Caters Georgia dropped down 11 stone but was left with horrific excess skin
But after her extreme weight loss she was left with mounds of excess skin across her body that would make it difficult for her to exercise and at worst resembled the skin rolls seen on a 'shar-pei dog'.
Additionally, she was left with deflated breasts after dropping from a 42H to a "32 nothing" and said they represented "old lady boobs".
Five months ago, determined to improve her quality of life, she went under the knife for a second time to have a tummy tuck and mastopexy that left her with 32DDs.
Her surgeries totalled $118,000, or £90,000, but due to health implications she claimed it through insurance, and now she's celebrating her new body and can't wait to continue her active lifestyle.
Georgia Ailes/Caters Georgia is now unrecognisable after £90,000 spent on surgery to give her new boobs and remove excess skin
Georgia, a dental assistant, said: "Looking back to when I was at my heaviest weight, I wish I never would have let myself get that way, but now I have no regrets and am super happy I've overcame it all.
"Because I lost weight so quickly my stomach was flabby and had flabby rolls, it was like a pile of extra skin all around the stomach and breasts.
"I looked good and a lot healthier but I have a lot of excess skin, that was just like a shar-pei dog.
"If I went for a jog the skin on my stomach would bounce up and down, it was uncomfortable and would tire me out more quickly.
"Before having a gastric bypass I'd tried a lot of diets, supplements and diet pills in the past but nothing worked.
Georgia Ailes/Caters Georgia now looks stunning with hubby Matthew 29 and they soon intend to plan to have a family together
"My weight rapidly dropped off me, because I followed the rules from my surgeon to a T, the only problem I had was my excess skin.
"Having the skin made it difficult to do certain things and it was just hard to look in the mirror as it was a constant reminder.
"My excess skin was making me uncomfortable at work, which was decreasing my quality of life.
"I had a abdominalplasty and a breast lift.
"I needed breast surgery because the extreme weight lost had left them deflated, I went from having a 42H to a 32 nothing, they were more like old lady breasts.
"It cost $54,000 [£41,318] for the Roux-en-Y and then $64,000 [£48,982] for the tummy tuck and breast lift - but because it was affecting my health so much I was able to pay for it through my insurance.
"I feel very proud now, I'm part of a support group where I live and it's always nice to look back and see how far I've come.
"I get positive responses everywhere I go, before I was always known as the girl with the pretty face but now I have a body to match.
Getty Shar-pei dogs are known for their saggy skin which lies in folds
"If someone hadn't seen me for a while it would take them a minute to recognise me, I've undergone such a drastic change.
"If you couldn't see my tummy tuck scar you wouldn't even know I had surgery or even knew I was ever overweight, it's pretty incredible."
Georgia whose initial motivation for losing weight was so that she could be a more active aunt.
Since transforming her life her and husband Matthew, 29, hope to become a parents.
She added: "I was always the auntie who sat on the couch, with no energy or motivation, I was only ever motivated to watch Netflix.
"I was worried about having children before, because I was overweight and knew I wouldn't be able to run around with my children as much I will be able to now."
Since her incredible weight loss, she now says she won't suffer embarrassing problems she'd struggle with in the past.
Georgia, now a svelte 11 stone, said: "Flying on a plane will be a lot easier now as I won't be uncomfortable because there's no room in chair nor at Disney World will I have to worry about the rides.
"Now that I'm able to incorporate cardio into my workouts I want to continue being that active person and want to go hiking.
"I feel so much more confident now, I don't feel like it's holding me back any more."

A passenger took this shocking image of the plane in the air
Passengers have described the terror they endured when part of a plane's engine was ripped off thousands of feet in the air.
Southwest Airlines Flight 3472 from New Orleans to Orlando was forced to make an emergency landing after the heart-stopping high-altitude malfunction this morning.
An Oklahoma mum, who was travelling with her husband and their three children - who are 5 and 7, and a baby - described the moment she she heard a boom outside the Boeing 737 plane.
"It was just a big explosion. There was some smoke and then nothing," she told KOCO 5.
"I saw parts flapping in the wind because it was right outside my window."
"I held my kids, and one was freaking out, crying. And so, we're trying to hold his hand and singing and praying a lot," she said.
"I had my faith in God, so I knew that whatever was going to happen, He was with us," the mother said. "So I was able to stay calm. It wasn't until after I got on the ground that I got emotional."

The incident happened mid-flight
The pilots managed to stabilise the plane and then told passengers that one of the engines was lost, she added. The plane then made an emergency landing in Pensacola, Florida.
The mum praised the crew's handling of the situation.
A spokesman for Southwest Airlines said: "Today, the Captain of Flight #3472 from New Orleans to Orlando made the decision to divert to Pensacola due to a mechanical issue with the number one engine.

"The flight landed safely without incident at Pensacola International Airport at 9:40am central time.
"Initial reports indicate there were no injuries among the 99 passengers and five crew members on board.
"We have notified the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board), and when authorized, we will be inspecting the aircraft to assess the damage. The aircraft is out of service, and we will work to accommodate the passengers to Orlando or their final destination as soon as possible."

DR Congo winger Yannick Bolasie is in line for his first start for Everton against Stoke City
Unbeaten Everton host winless Stoke City at Goodison Park on Saturday for a 3pm kick-off.
The Toffees, fresh off an impressive 4-0 up win over Yeovil, are fifth in the Premier League table following a win against West Brom and draw with Tottenham.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman looks set to hand summer signings Ashley Williams and Yannick Bolasie their first starts for the club since joining from Swansea and Crystal Palace respectively.
Right back Seamus Coleman, however, is ruled out of facing Stoke with an ankle injury.
Gareth Copley Stoke midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri is back in contention after recovering from an ankle injury
Midfield trio James McCarthy, Darron Gibson and Tom Cleverley all face late fitness tests.
Stoke may welcome back Swiss playmaker Xherdan Shaqiri after recovering from ankle knock.
Goalkeeper Jack Butland and defender Glen Johnson, though, are still long-term absentees for Mark Hughes’ side.
Should Everton win this weekend, it will give them their highest points tally after their opening three matches of the season since the 2006-07 campaign which saw them eventually finish sixth.
Bongarts/Getty Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has yet to register a Premier League goal this season
A worry for the hosts is striker Romelu Lukaku’s goal drought. The Belgian has failed to find the back of the net in his last 10 league appearances.
He may fancy ending that run against Stoke, mind. The Potters have gone 12 matches without a clean sheet and conceded 41 league goals in 2016 - the most out of any side currently in the top-flight.

Surgeons create mind-controlled prosthetic arm capable of feeling pressure

Amputees may soon be capable of feeling sensations in their lost limbs, thanks to an advanced set of prosthetics capable of being controlled by the human mind.
The US military’s research wing, known as the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), has studied prosthetics for the past decade, and has now developed an arm patients can control using their thoughts.
Patient Melissa Loomis, 43, who lost her right arm after she was bitten by a wild raccoon, underwent two specialised forms of surgery, Quartz has reported.
The first was targeted muscle reinnervation, or TMR, which re-routed the three major nerves originally controlling Ms Loomis' hands and fingers - median, ulnar and radial - to power muscles in her upper right arm.
This fools the brain into thinking her bicep or tricep is now essentially her forearm - allowing her to move her prosthetic has as if it were her real hand.
Ajay Seth We’re about to get prosthetics that can not only move for you but feel for you
The second type of surgery, known as targeted sensory reinnervation (TSR), was developed to aid the transmission of sensations, such as touch, back to her brain.
This involved locating nerve fibres from within the three nerves, and attaching them to cutaneous nerves in the stump of her arm. This means pressing the thumb of the prosthetic would trigger the sensation of pressure on her thumb.
Ms Loomis had been suffering with phantom limb syndrome - a fairly common affliction among people who have lost limbs, which causes them to feel pain in the hand she no longer had.
“It felt like my hand was crushed in a vice, like there was an object closing my hand that I was constantly trying to break free of,” she said.
“I could feel the hand but it was like I couldn’t open my fingers, like it was in a tight fist. After the surgery, it felt like I could move my hand, and the pain went away.”
Ajay Seth
Her surgeon Ajay Seth collaborated with teams from the University of Alberta in Canada and the National Military Medical Centre to test Ms Loomis’ control over a prosthetic arm, which is not attached to her body.
The large arm was positioned several feet away from Ms Loomis at a laboratory in Baltimore, where she was able to both move the arm and hand using her mind, and feel when somebody touched its fingers.
She described the feeling as “a tingling sensation - like putting your tongue on a battery. You could feel it jolt up the finger.”
As well as sensations, she can theoretically detect changes in temperature and pressure.

We all know that as part of joining a new team one must pass through the traditional initiation process.
This is a widely known and accepted ritual that HAS to be done - otherwise you won't fully be recognised as one of the club's players. It's like an unwritten law.
In the video above, Liverpool 's new signings are busy being put through their initiations - and the entire thing is being filmed by Danny Ings .
Either in groups or individually, up step the new Reds stars who introduce themselves and then sing a song.
Klavan and Matip stand tall
Alex Manninger, Ragnar Klavan and Joel Matip all partner up to give a rendition of... something? We can't actually work out what they're singing, sounds like a load of mumbling and lost words to us.
Wijnaldum wins over the crowd
Georginio Wijnaldum stands alone on the table after and receives a thunderous reception.
The Dutchman then proceeds to belt out a wonderful version of Three Little Birds by Bob Marley and has the entire room rocking.
Gruijic gives it his best shot
Last up is Marko Grujic . The young Serbian decides to sing a song no one has ever heard of and gets a relatively awkward response from the room in return.
As cringe-worthy as these were, let's just be glad they were safe for work.

Carole Malone: Jeremy Corbyn's Traingate stunt proves he and his team are terminally stupid
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
If ever proof was needed that Jeremy Corbyn and his team are terminally stupid, it’s their declaration that this week’s Virgin train stunt “boosted his chances of retaining the Labour leadership”.
Well, as the man opposing him is an even bigger fool than he is, of course he’s going to keep it.
But if the Corbynistas seriously think they can spin something positive out of this farce, they’re even more deluded, inept and out of touch than their “god”.
Because what the nation saw wasn’t a Labour leader making a valid point about the state of our railways.
They saw a bumbling old bloke squatting on the floor next to a toilet pretending he’d been forced to sit there because there were no seats on his “ram-packed train” when CCTV proved there were plenty.
Jeremy Corbyn sits on the floor of an overcrowded Virgin train travelling from London to Newcastle
So the man who has spent the last year boasting that, unlike other politicians, he’s honest, moral and straight-talking, actually isn’t.
He participated in a big fat lie – and time-stamped, date-stamped CCTV proved it.
Didn’t his cretinous aides realise there’d be CCTV on that train? Didn’t they realise that if they tried to trash Virgin, Richard Branson would roar back at them with the truth?
Didn’t they realise the 11am train to Newcastle was unlikely to be packed with commuters because they all got on the 7am and 8am trains?
If you’re going to film a stunt about overcrowded trains do it properly. Put some thought into it.

Don’t tell us there are no seats when CCTV footage clearly shows Corbyn walking past rows of them one minute after he’d boarded the train.
But that’s the problem with him and his team. They don’t think. They don’t even talk to people outside their own hard-Left bubble.
They lurch from one catastrophe to the next without ever learning anything.
Hell, these nitwits even tried to say the CCTV was “a lie”. I’m not sure how date-stamped, time-stamped footage can lie but then these morons operate in Corbyn’s La La Land so can say anything.
But having finally realised he could no longer peddle the “no seat” lie, Jezza finally admitted that yes, he DID walk past empty seats before sitting on the floor because he wanted to sit next to his wife.
PA Jeremy Corbyn admitted he wanted to sit next to his wife
So what was wrong with all those side-by-side empty seats in Coach H? Did the carriage have a bad vibe? Was the feng shui not right?
And if he really wanted to sit next to his wife so badly why didn’t he book a seat like everyone else?
In itself, this stunt was nothing more than we’d expect from a politician.
But for Corbyn it’s particularly toxic because his reputation is built on being honest and principled – which we now know he isn’t. He’s a hypocrite.
But his people refuse to see that. Instead they hold a press conference where Jezza petulantly threatens to strip Virgin of its franchise if Labour gets into power (punished for revealing truth – there’s an interesting socialist principle).
Virgin Trains Sir Richard Branson has gone to war with Jeremy Corbyn
He also said the train firm would be investigated under data protection for releasing CCTV film exposing his lies.
Did he seriously expect Branson not to fight back in the face of lies about his service?
The truth is Corbyn’s aides haven’t a clue about the real world. The only people they deal with are those who also think Jezza is the messiah so there’s no one to tell them when they get it wrong.
The fact remains the film shot on that train to justify his call for re-nationalising the railways was a lie. And it backfired spectacularly.
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
But the real stupidity here is there ARE genuine issues with our trains. There aren’t enough of them.
They’re too damned expensive. And you can never be sure whether they’re going to run.
But those bona fide arguments were lost because of Corbyn’s not so cunning stunt.
The whole thing’s been like an episode of Yes Minister – without the professionalism or the laughs.

French teacher 'pictured in bed after prom night sex with pupil' and insists 'I'm the victim'

This is the picture that purports to show Isabelle Graham in bed as a young man, said to be the pupil named in the charges, stands in the doorway
A picture has emerged purporting to show a French teacher in bed after having sex with one of her teenage pupils on his prom night.
Isabelle Graham, 27, a practicing Christian, denies the allegations and insists her drinks must have been spiked, telling a disciplinary hearing: “I’m the victim”.
The photograph shows a blonde woman in bed while a young man, believed to be the pupil named in the charges against her, stands in the hotel doorway, the Daily Record reports.
Graham, who says she was saving herself for marriage, has already quit her job at Whitburn Academy in West Lothian following the allegations she slept with the boy at a Travelodge in Edinburgh.
She faces being banned from teaching if a disciplinary hearing against her finds the allegations proven and deems her unfit to continue in the profession.
Daily Record Former teacher Isabelle Graham with her husband Andrew Wilkie on their wedding day
Graham insists she has no memory of the events of that night, the General Teaching Council for Scotland hearing in Edinburgh was told.
She has been backed by her husband Andrew Wilkie, who is training for the clergy. He says he is certain she is telling the truth.
But a policeman called to give evidence yesterday said CCTV from the night showed no evidence of her drink having been spiked.
DS Keith Mailer also said there was no evidence of it when she was tested at a hospital.
He said: “Throughout the footage there’s no sign Ms Graham is under the excessive influence of drugs or alcohol.”
Footage also showed the teacher and student kissing, he said.
Daily Record Former teacher Isabelle Graham with her husband Andrew Wilkie, who is standing by her
He added: “The way she moved and conducted herself suggested someone who was making conscious decisions.”
Police raised charges against Graham but the procurator fiscal did not pursue them, citing a lack of evidence.
Wilkie represented his wife – who he married last summer – at a procedural GTCS hearing last month.
At that hearing, the couple tried unsuccessfully to have the case against Graham heard in private.
Daily Record Edinburgh's Carlton Highland Hotel where the prom night took place
Graham did not attend the hearing yesterday and had no representation there.
The teacher, who now lives in England, turned down the opportunity to take part via video link.
Graham is alleged to have spent three hours alone with the teenager, drinking with him, sharing a bed with him and “repeatedly engaging in sexual activity”.
The GTCS charge goes on: “And in light of the above, it is alleged that your fitness to teach is impaired.”
It is claimed the encounter happened after the pair left the upmarket Carlton Highland hotel in central Edinburgh where the prom took place in June 2014 and went to a nearby Travelodge.
The hearing was shown the photo of the room and was told it was taken by another pupil who was sharing a room with Pupil A.
Daily Record Isabelle Graham insists her drinks were spiked and told a hearing: "I'm the victim"
That boy said he returned numerous times to the room to find Graham in the bed.
Council employee Fraser Thomson, who investigated the case, said their inquiry began after senior teaching staff found out the photo from the hotel room had been uploaded on social media.
He added evidence from students outlined how they saw “Pupil A and Ms Graham lying on the bed, one on top of the covers and one underneath”.
The official said Graham told him the four glasses of wine she had drunk would not normally
intoxicate her to that level.
She said of the photograph: “It looks like my hair.”
Daily Record Whitburn Academy where Isabelle Graham was working at the time of the alleged incident
But she denied recognising the young man in the photograph.
In the statement Graham provided to be read in her defence at the hearing, she claimed that she had been the “victim” on the night in question – reiterating that she had no recollection of the events.
She said that if the photo did feature her, she was clearly unconscious at the time and therefore it was “posed” without her consent.
She went on: “The person in the bed in the photo is clearly not in control of the situation.”
Responding to DS Mailer’s claim that CCTV evidence showed no signs of intoxication, she also claimed that date rape drugs are available which leave victims lucid but hinder their decision-making ability.
Daily Record The Travelodge Hotel in Waterloo Place where the alleged incident took place
She added that she was an “active and practising Christian” who was “waiting until marriage” before having sex.
Her husband said: “In all the time I have known her, she has always put her Christian faith above all other things. I have never had any doubt that the allegations made against her were false.”
He also accused West Lothian Council of making “slanderous comments”.
The hearing was adjourned until today, when the panel will give their ruling.

Good morning
Good morning ladies and gents and welcome to our live coverage of Sam Allardyce’s latest press conference as England boss.
Big Sam named his first Three Lions squad on last night with Ross Barkley and Jack Wilshere left out.
West Ham’s Michail Antonio was the only new name for the opening World Cup qualifier in Slovakia next Sunday.
Barkley did not play a minute at the European Championship while Wilshere has only made two substitute appearances for Arsenal this season.
Wilshere and Barkley are both fit so they are surprising omissions as they are seen as two of England’s best midfield talents.
Expect Allardyce to be quizzed on both of those snubs as well as his thoughts going forward ahead of Slovakia.
We will have all the latest for you right here so don’t touch that dial.

English wines are roasting spectacular success with best sales ever
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

English wine makers are toasting a spectacular success this Bank Holiday with record sales on the high street.
Once laughed off as cheap plonk due its questionable sweet taste, home produced sparkling, whites and reds are booming thanks to similar soil and temperatures as France’s Champagne region in the south of England.
Last month producers picked up a record breaking 120 medals in the International Wine Challenge 2016, the industry’s most prestigious awards, surpassing last year’s 94 medals.
Now the popularity of English wines on the high street is being celebrating as Marks and Spencer said sales had increased by 75 per cent this summer, while Waitrose had doubled the number of bottles sold.
Booths and Lidl also added English wines to its stores earlier this year, joining Tesco and Sainsbury's.
English wines are enjoying spectacular success
Production is set to double by 2050 to 10 million bottles. And experts believe Brexit could bring a further boom to the wine industry, which broke £1bn sales for the first time earlier this year.
Miles Beale, chief executive of the Wine and Spirit Trade Association (WSTA) said: “English wine has never been in a better place. Our wine producers are now gaining global recognition for making some of the best wines in the world. This is reflected in the impressive collection of awards won in the last few years.
“Post Brexit there are huge opportunities which could see the English industry grow even more the predicted and without fear of production limits imposed by EU red tape.”
English vineyards were a common sight in the countryside over the centuries, introduced by the Romans but by the end of First World War most disappeared.
Now it is back in demand again and proving to be a billion-pound shot in the arm for the economy.
English wines are making a comeback
Hambledon Vineyard is England’s oldest commercial vineyard in Hampshire,
planted in 1952. It’s now owned by former banker Ian Kellett who bought it in 1990 and hopes to produce a million bottles by 2020.
Recent accolades include a gold and silver in the 2016 International Wine Challenge for their premiere and classic curve sparkling wines.
Orders are now coming in from as far as Australia and Japan but the vineyard is struggling to keep up with demand.
“We don’t have enough to go around,” Ian said. “But one of the best things about this is taking something that is quintessentially French and doing it better.
“England will become a mass sparkling wine producer soon because of our land prices are cheaper and geology being so similar to Champagne region as we have the same chalky soil in the south of England.
"And we have better weather patterns here because of global warming.”
Getty England will be a mass producer of sparkling wine soon
The Roberts family of Ridgeview have been crafting traditional method sparkling wines for 20 years.
It’s run by a second generation husband and wife team Simon and Mardi Roberts, who took over from Simon’s dad Mike. In 2012 Ridgeview Bloomsbury,
2009, was served for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and also earlier this year at Eddie Redmayne’s Oscars party.
Mardi said: “We have the opportunity to make history in the English wine industry right now.
"The reason the UK wine is doing so well now is because of the length of the growing season. We can now get the grapes ripe and get natural acidity.
“It was really hard to be taken seriously 20 years ago but thanks to blind tastings and picking up prestigious awards, we can now start celebrating our wine.”
Getty People are really celebrating English wine
Frazer Thompson, chief executive of Chapel Down in Tenterden, Kent, of one the country’s biggest producers of sparkling wine, said one of the biggest challenges was convincing people that English wines were any good.
“In the past, as soon as you told them it was English wine there was a huge barrier.”
But that has all changed he explained citing a “a gold rush on the North and South Downs”.
Last year a team from the WSTA travelled across the Channel for the first time to set up the tests with some of the biggest names in the Gallic restaurant and bar trade.
Many were convinced some of the UK-produced fizz was from France and in most cases prefered it to Champagne.
The success has led to French Champagne houses, such as Tattinger and Pommery, investing in the south of England.

Wayne Rooney has revealed England’s players were shocked when Wales celebrated their Euro 2016 exit.
Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey was among those celebrating wildly in a video when England crashed out to Iceland.
Ramsey’s Arsenal team mate Jack Wilshere was on the losing team for England that night and it is clear that Rooney believes it has caused some tensions between players at club level.
England captain Rooney said: “Not taken aback, I think a bit disappointed, because some of the England players are club mates with some of the Wales players.
“Personally I’m not so I wasn’t really too fussed.

"I said before that during the tournament I’m not fussed what Wales or Ireland do in the tournament.
“If they do well good luck to them if they don’t, I’m not really too bothered what they do.
"But for some of the lads who have club teammates jumping around to celebrate their teammates failure that was a bit disappointing for some of them.
“In fact during that period I probably would have wanted them to go on and win it as I would rather a British team win it but I didn’t lose any sleep when they got knocked out.”

Going to bed early could be a warning sign of serious heart problems

Experts say those who turn in early could have high blood pressure
Going to bed early may be a warning sign you have serious heart problems, experts have warned.
New research presented at the world's biggest heart conference in Rome found those who chose to turn in sooner were more likely to be suffering with high blood pressure.
They also had a greater chance of suffering a worse night’s sleep.
Experts said although the study showed getting tired early could be a key warning sign that you have high blood pressure, it also suggested going to bed early would not help lower it.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, rarely has noticeable symptoms. But if untreated, it increases your risk of serious problems such as heart attacks and strokes.
Getty High blood pressure can make you more tired, but unable to sleep well
More than one in four adults in the UK have high blood pressure, although many won't realise it.
In the study, on average, those with the condition went to bed 18 minutes earlier than healthy adults.
High blood pressure is a dangerous health condition and can trigger deadly heart attacks and strokes.
The Japanese study looked at 2,400 adults and was presented at the annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology.
Researchers said high blood pressure may upset a person’s normal body clock - making them more tired, but unable to sleep well.
Speaking in Rome, lead researcher Dr Nobuo Sasaki, of the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Casualty Council, said: "Early bed times were associated with high blood pressure independent of anything else. It might be that it affects the circadian rhythms [internal body clock]."
And staying in bed did not help reduce blood pressure, as those with the condition failed to get any more sleep.
Fellow researcher Dr Ryoji Ozono said: "Going to be earlier could be a sign of hypertension. But if you go to bed earlier or later it still won't change the blood pressure."
Getty British heart experts advise those struggling with sleep to see their GP
The team now plan to investigate if later bed times could actually help patients.
On average, those with the condition scored 5.3 in sleep assessments - with marks over 5 indicating poor sleep quality.
Among those with normal blood pressure, the score was 4.7, despite their later bed times.
British heart experts said those struggling with sleep should see their GP.
Professor Jeremy Pearson, Associate Medical Director at the British Heart Foundation, said: “This study indicates that people with known high blood pressure may go to bed a few minutes earlier than those with normal blood pressure, and the quality of their sleep may be slightly worse.
“People often have raised blood pressure without knowing it. You should check your blood pressure regularly and see your GP if you are concerned.”

Islamic State's second in command Abu Mohammad al-Adnani has been killed in Syria.
He was widely tipped to be the next leader of the terror group after repeatedly calling for attacks on the West.
Al-Adnani was one of the last three alive of the 43 founders of ISIS, according to reports.
ISIS propaganda unit Amaq said in a statement: "Shaykh Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, the spokesman of the Islamic State, was martyred while surveying the operations to repel the military campaigns against Aleppo."
His death is a "major blow" to ISIS, according to terror analyst Rita Katz.
She tweeted: “Adnani's death is a major blow for ISIS – especially after the death of high-ranking military leader Omar Shishani.
Abu Muhammed al-Adnani
“When calling for lone wolf attacks in West, ISIS fighters/supporters quote Adnani more than any other individual.
“That said, recent ISIS-inspired attacks reflect his speeches, wherein he called to kill whoever and with whatever in the West.
“Adnani born in Idlib. Pledged to Zarqawi in Iraq before being jailed for 6 yrs. Pledged to current ISIS leader Baghdadi after release.
“After pledge to Baghdadi, Adnani was sent to Syria w others, including current JFS leader Julani, to establish presence there.”
It comes just weeks after the ISIS leader in Afghanistan and Pakistan was killed by a US drone.
Hafiz Saeed Khan, along with his senior lieutenants, was blown up in an air strike on July 26.
Afghan Ambassador Omar Zakhilwal said: "I can confirm that ISIS Khurasan leader Hafiz Saeed Khan along with his senior commanders and fighters died in a U. drone strike on July 26 in Kot district of Afghanistan's Nangharhar province."

Ragnar Klavan has revealed Jurgen Klopp sent him a selfie to prove Liverpool's interest in him wasn't some sort of wind-up.
The 30-year-old defender was a surprise addition to Klopp's squad when he joined from Augsburg earlier in the summer.
And the Reds' keenness to recruit Klavan shocked even the player himself, who initially thought his mates were pranking him when Klopp texted him.
“Jurgen sent me a selfie to prove it was him,” Klavan told the Telegraph . “I’d received the messages so I wrote back ‘I don’t believe you. I need proof’. He sent me the picture smiling.
Action Images via Reuters Klavan was shocked when Jurgen Klopp began texting him
REUTERS The 30-year-old joined Liverpool from Augsburg last month
“At first I couldn’t believe it. It was my dream to play in the Premier League for 22 years. Then you are told you not only have a chance to do it, but it is Liverpool. I was like ‘are you serious? This is really happening?’
“I didn’t need convincing. I told the manager straight away if there is a chance to come, no other club interests me.”
Klavan signed a three-year deal at Anfield last month and was named in the starting line-up for Liverpool's opening two Premier League matches of the season.

Owen Smith warns Labour could face election disaster after poll puts Jeremy Corbyn on course for victory

Owen Smith has vowed to fight on despite a poll suggesting he is heading for defeat
Owen Smith today warns Labour could be headed for electoral meltdown after a poll found Jeremy Corbyn is on course to retain the leadership.
Mr Smith claimed the leadership contest is not over despite the YouGov/Times poll of Labour supporters showing his rival Mr Corbyn is headed for victory with a staggering 62% of the vote.
Mr Smith insisted he still believes he can win the contest - and warned the alternative for Labour is “electoral annihilation”.
"I'm in this contest to win it and that's exactly what I intend to do,” Mr Smith said today.
"This race was always going to be tough - but when members are faced with the choice between a credible government-in-waiting or electoral annihilation I believe they'll choose me.”
Jeff J Mitchell Owen Smith says his rival Jeremy Corbyn would lead Labour to 'electoral annihilation'
The new poll lays bare how Labour has been completely transformed by the flood of new supporters who joined the party following the 2015 general election defeat.
More than two-thirds of longer-standing members are opposed to Mr Corbyn and want his rival Mr Smith to win.
But their voices have been completely overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of new members and supporters who have joined the party in the past year.
Jack Taylor Huge numbers of pro-Corbyn supporters have joined the Labour Party over the past year
The poll suggests that overall Mr Corbyn is backed by 62% of Labour supporters, compared with 38% for Mr Smith, once 'don't knows' have been discounted.
The former shadow work and pensions secretary is now clinging on to the fact that 8% of Labour supporters have yet to make up their minds.
Although voting is now well underway, Labour supporters have until September 21 to make their choice.
The winner will be unveiled at a special conference in Liverpool three days later.
"A huge swathe of members are still to make up their minds on how they will vote,” Mr Smith said.
“That is why I'm going to continue what I'm doing, which is setting out a radical vision for our party and my ideas for taking the fight back to the Tories."
Worryingly for Labour the poll shows that even among Mr Corbyn's supporters, little more than half – 56% - think he will lead Labour to victory at the next general election.
Reuters Only 56% of Jeremy Corbyn's own supporters think he would win a general election
And Mr Smith scores even lower on this measure – just 33% of his fans think he would become Prime Minister in 2020.
The poll also shows Labour party members and registered supporters back Mr Corbyn's stance on nuclear weapons, with just 25% believing Trident should be replaced.
They also back the mandatory re-selection of MPs ahead of the next election – something which may embolden Mr Corbyn's team to press ahead with the controversial plan.

A daring wingsuit pilot streamed his death live on Facebook after a thrill-seeking jump from the top of a mountain ended in disaster.
Armin Schmieder, 28, from Italy, told his fans on social media: "Today you fly with me" moments before the jump from a mountain top in Kandersteg, Switzerland.
He can be seen readying for the Alps jump, before pocketing his phone.
A shout can be heard soon after, and fans became aware that something had gone very wrong.

Officers have since confirmed his identity.
One pal said: "He was an experienced skydiver, but flew only a year with the wingsuit."

The circumstances of his death are not yet clear.
Social media users were shocked by his death
It comes after a British woman died alongside two others following an avalanche in the French Alps.
The disaster, which took place in the Mont-Blanc range of the French Alps, saw the Brit die alongside a German guide and a Slovak woman.

How can you follow transfer deadline day? All you need to know as the window slams shut

www.mirror.co.uk

Jim White is preparing for his favourite day of the year
We are into the latter stages of the transfer window - but expect plenty more drama to come.
Premier League clubs are expected to spring into life over the coming days as they look to complete their final business of the summer.
Deadline days of the past have brought us moves involving the likes of Luis Suarez, Anthony Martial, Mesut Ozil and Fernando Torres - and more big deals could follow this year.
But when does the window officially close? What about loans? And where can you watch the action unfold?
We have joined up with the Birmingham Mail to tell you all that you need to know about when the football's most exciting non-matchday.
Getty Pogba's move to United was by far the biggest move of the summer
1. When did the transfer window re-open?
Like every year, the summer window officially opened on July 1, but players, agents and clubs were discussing contract terms and final fees long before then.
2. When does the transfer window close?
The transfer window will slam shut on August 31 at 11.30pm, just as players disappear for an international break.
Sky News Will there be any Peter Odemwingie sightings this year?
3. How can you follow transfer deadline day?
Jim White and the yellow tie brigade will be out on Sky Sports News HQ from early in the day. That would be your ideal visual port of call for breaking news.
But if you're on the move or stuck in work, follow all of the done deals, medicals and rumours with Mirror Football - which will include individual club coverage for all of the Premier League's big-hitters.
4. When does the loan window end?
Unlike last year, there will be no emergency loan window, and no separate deadline day for loans.
Any loan deals must be completed by the end of the normal transfer window on August 31.
Get your yellow ties on, chaps, it's deadline day!
5. How much can we expect to see spent?
The 2015 window saw a record £859m spent by Premier League clubs but, with the new broadcasting deal due to kick in, this summer is likely to be even bigger.
English top flight clubs have already spent a collective £800million so far so the £1billion mark may well be passed before the window closes.
Premier League seasonal spending
6. What Premier League deals have been done this summer?
You can keep up to date with every single transfer in and out of Premier League clubs here in MirrorFootball's comprehensive list.
7. When does the January transfer window open?
The January window will be opened on January 1, as per normal, with clubs available to strengthen their sides once again.
That window will run until February 1.

Nicole Scherzinger is a woman of many talents.
The X Factor beauty impressed her fellow judges on the panel when she broke out an amazing and maybe slightly mocking impersonation of Britney Spears.
During time in between auditions a clip of Nicole had her sounding the spit of the blonde pop princess as she sang her hit Oops... I Did it Again to an amused Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh.
Imitating Britney's vocal breaks and warbling her performance was uncanny.

But not content at just Britney, the 38-year-old stunner then revealed to Alison Hammond who was interviewing her backstage for This Morning, that she could also do a great Shakira.
Nicole burst into Shakira's Whenever, Wherever much to the delight of Alison, Louis and Dermot O'Leary who had been discussing the return of the old crew.

Samantha Lavery will be in the first episode
They all began laughing in amazement at Nicole's talents as she shook her shoulders in her bodycon blue dress.
X Factor returns to ITV on Saturday with teenager Samantha Lavery set to be one of the stars of the very first show.
In what has already been a great week for the 16 year old, thanks to her getting all As and Bs in her GCSEs, we’ll see Sam audition in front of the new judging panel when the hit ITV show returns for a 13th series.
And if you were watching Good Morning Britain on Friday you’d have seen a quick clip of Sam in action as the breakfast programme previewed the first episode of the new run.

Manchester City's Sergio Aguero awaits fate over possible FA charge for West Ham 'elbow'

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero was pictured arriving at the club's training ground on Tuesday as he waits a verdict from the FA regarding a possible violent conduct charge.
Aguero, who has been ruled out of Argentina's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Venezuela with a calf injury, may be banned for City's next three domestic matches after appearing to hit West Ham defender Winston Reid with his elbow.
The 28-year-old was substituted in City's 3-1 win over the Irons after pulling up awkwardly but some have suggested that he should have been sent off before then for his clash with Reid while jostling for a high ball.

Referee Andre Mariner took no action at the time of the incident at the Etihad Stadium and if he confirms in his match report that he did not see it, the FA will be asked to conduct a review of video footage.
If Aguero is handed a ban, he will miss the derby match against Manchester United on September 10.

He would also be unavailable for City's home match against Bourenmouth a week later and the EFL Cup third round clash with Swansea.

Woman who claims Chris Brown threatened her with a gun beauty queen, Baylee Curran alleges argument was sparked by jewellery

The woman who accused Chris Brown of threatening her with a gun on her, has been identified as beauty queen Baylee Curran.
The blonde spoke to TMZ about the alleged incident, claiming the singer threatened her with a gun after she admired a piece of jewellery.
Baylee revealed she had "partied" with Chris in the past and said he had always been "nice" but this time was "out of it".
On Monday night she claims to have gone to his Tarzana mansion where they hungout in a hot tub and were having fun, until she admired a piece of jewellery worn by a member of Chris' crew.

Instagram/bayleecurran She spoke to TMZ about the incident
She claimed the man "went nuts" and that Chris reacted by demanding she "get the f*** out", which is when he allegedly pointed the gun at her.
Curran alleges that Brown's people asked her to sign a non-disclosure agreement, but that she refused.
Sources close to the singer have, however refuted the blonde's version of events.
Instagram/bayleecurran The blonde claimed the argument was over jewellery
They claim Chris and several friends, including Ray J, were at the house when "uninvited guests" appeared and were asked to leave, including Baylee.
Ray J was reportedly getting a tattoo when events kicked off, while insiders claimed Brown was asleep.
Brown's team have yet to comment publicly on events.
A police SWAT team descended on Brown's Tarzana mansion, following the allegations that a woman was threatened at the property with a gun.

Police have reportedly been outside the property since 3am when a woman called 911 and claimed the singer "pulled a gun" on her.
The report claims that police are waiting for a search warrant to be granted and are expecting the singer to "surrender" himself.

Several people have been seen leaving the property and coming out to the gate, where they've spoken to officers, but so far no sign of Brown.
According to TMZ authorities have retrieved some items from a duffel bag that was allegedly thrown from a window of the property including a gun, other weapons and drugs.

Earlier today it was reported by TMZ that the singer was being investigated on an allegation of criminal assault, after a woman claimed he threatened her with a gun while at an LA residence, prompting her to call 911.
Soon after images of police outside Brown's house were posted to social media, with the singer then insisting he had done nothing wrong in an expletive laden Instagram video.

"So I'm asleep half the damn night," he begins, "I just wake up, all these mother f****** helicopters is around, police out there at the gate."
"Come on my n****, what else do you f****** want from me bro, I stay outta the way, take care of my daughter, do work. I don't need to f*** ugly b******, trifling b******, whatever the f*** it is."
Brown, who claims to be inside his property continues: "I'm not on that bro, I'm way too tired to be dealing with this b*******. Every three months you come up with something bro? What is it, what's going to be next?" he claimed.
He insists he's done nothing wrong

Attacking the police for not responding to his calls as swiftly, he said: "At the same time when I call the police for stalker people who are endangering my life, they don't come until the next day. Someone makes a f***** allegation about me, oh yeah and the whole f****** SWAT team.
Brown added: "My n***** I'm innocent, I'm tired of hearing this s***"
In a follow up video he also denied reports he was "barricaded" inside his house and appeared to laugh at the suggestion, before saying "f*** the police".
In a third video he took a minuet to plug his new single Grass Ain't Greener in a third.
WENN Ray J was allegedly in the building
Mirror Celeb has contacted Brown's rep for comment.
Singer Ray J was also allegedly in the building when the incident happened and was allowed to leave by police, however he had to leave his car at the property and reportedly went home in an uber.
Brown has never been far from controversy during his career.
In May this year the star denied claims he "stomped on a fan's head" during a recent nightclub appearance at the Cannes Film Festival.

After a video of the alleged incident - which took place at Gotha nightclub on May 18 - was posted online by TMZ the FAME singer took to Instagram to insist it didn't happen.
"F*** you," he began in the video, before emphatically stating: "no fans were hurt by Chris Brown, no fans were beat up by Chris Brown."

He continued in the rant by claiming it was actually him that was assaulted during the evening: "His staff though, security, I don't think he probably knew who I was, I don't care, but he assaulted me.
"Grabbed his hands around my throat and tried to push me out the spot when we were walking, my security was already outside of the spot."

Until last year Brown was still on probation for the 2009 federal assault on then girlfriend Rihanna. He managed to avoid a jail sentence in the case and instead was put on probation for six years, as well a restraining order being granted to the singer, which was later lifted.

Tottenham eye Isco transfer as Real Madrid exit looms for the Spain international midfielder
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

The plan is to sign Isco initially on loan with a view to buying him next summer
Tottenham are lining up a sensational swoop for Real Madrid star Isco.
European champions Real are under pressure to reduce the seize of their squad and it has become a straight choice between Isco – a £25million signing from Malaga three years ago – and Colombian ace James Rodriguez.
Club president Florentino Perez has made it known to manager Zinedine Zidane that he wants James to stay, and has blocked a proposed move to Chelsea.
So Isco – a Spain international – is the one to leave, with White Hart Lane his likely destination.
His style would suit that demanded by manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The plan is to sign Isco on loan for the rest of the season.
Spurs would also have the option to land the attacking midfielder on a permanent basis next summer if the move is successful.
In pictures — Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool:
There may be competition from Chelsea for Isco, but it appears Tottenham are favourites to sign him.
The 24-year-old would add Champions League experience to Pochettino’s squad, many of whom will be venturing into new territory when they face Bayer Leverkusen, Monaco and CSKA Moscow over the coming months.

Callous teen mum lures man out of pub into street where he is run over and left for dead

Abbey-Lee Liptrot (pictured) lured Owen Williams into a road where he was run over by Robert Taylor
A callous teen mum lured a man into a road where he was run over and left fearing he would die .
Owen Williams was badly injured when he was struck by a car driven by Robert Taylor after going to meet Abbey-Lee Liptrot in Newton-le-Willows.
Williams, 23, had started talking to Liptrot, 18, on Facebook, and invited her to a lock-in at the Sunbeam Hotel on February 2.
Liverpool Crown Court heard Mr Williams said her female friend was also welcome to join his pals in Old Wargrave Road.
Liverpool Echo Abbey-Lee Liptrot lured Owen Williams into a road (pictured)
But when he insisted she could not bring any male friends, he got into an argument with Taylor, 20, who was driving the women around.
Liptrot asked for directions and, when they arrived at around 4am, called Mr Williams and asked him to meet her, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Catherine Ellis, prosecuting, said: “He was deliberately brought into the roadway so that something could be done to him.
“The vehicle set off at a speed, which Mr Taylor put at 30mph. It struck Mr Williams and threw him into the air.”
The victim suffered bruising and bleeding to his right lung and chest, four broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder and a cut to his liver.
Liverpool Echo Owen Williams lies injured in his hospital bed
He also had a forehead wound requiring stitches, which has left a permanent scar.
Taylor sped away and neither he nor front seat passenger Liptrot called an ambulance.
Afterwards they discussed a cover-up and “him torching his vehicle so traces of the accident would be destroyed”.
The driver said he would hide his car, then rang his insurers to say it had been vandalised, but it was found by police.
Ms Ellis said: “The text messages show no remorse whatsoever. They are laughing and joking.”
Taylor and Liptrot later claimed Mr Williams had dived in front of the car.
Liverpool Echo He has been left badly scarred
However, the victim’s friend said he “had no chance to get out of the way”.
The pair were charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
But on the day of a trial Taylor, of Bickershaw Lane, Wigan, admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Liptrot, of Belvoir Street, Wigan, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving.
Mr Williams was unable to start a new job, referee football games and needed medication to sleep.
The victim said: “I’m scared because I don’t know what else he is capable of, having already run me over. Believing I was going to die will stay with me forever.
“Had I not been texting Abbey-Lee and had she not lured me out of the pub, I would not have been hit. She has shown no remorse. She was laughing and smirking in court.”
Tom Watson, defending Liptrot, said the mum-of-one wished to apologise.
He said: “What is appearing to be a lack of remorse is far more explicable as complete naivety and stupidity.”
The lawyer argued Liptrot was only aware of an intention to scare the victim.
Paul Becker, defending Taylor, said the labourer had now expressed remorse.
Judge Denis Watson, QC, said Taylor planned on “terrifying” Mr Williams.
He jailed him for 32 months, gave him a three-year driving ban and confiscated his car.
The judge sentenced Liptrot to 22 weeks behind bars and a two-year driving ban.
He said she was “not responsible in law” for causing the injuries, but added: “Morally your conscience, if you have one, may find the position you are in difficult to reconcile.
“You took the positive decision to lure Mr Williams out of the pub.”

Man arrested in gay club 'after adding hydrochloric acid to lubricant dispenser'

www.mirror.co.uk

A 62-year-old man accused of putting hydrochloric acid inside a lubricant dispenser in a gay club has been arrested and charged.
The suspect went into the Aarows club venue, located in Rydalmere, Sydney, on Saturday, police said.
He then allegedly filled a dispenser inside a room with the highly corrosive acid.
However alarms that had been fitted onto items in the room were then triggered, and staff stopped the man as he tried to leave.
Police were then alerted, and made an arrest.
The acid he is accused of putting into the dispenser can burn and scar skin when it makes contact.
He has now been charged with administering poison with the intent to cause injury, distress or pain, and malicious damage.
One club-goer, who asked not to be named, said: "Hydrochloric acid is not the best sort of thing to be playing with.
"It could be anything really. People are perverted".
The suspect is expected to appear in court next month.

Owen Smith sets off on two-week bus tour across Britain in Labour leadership fight
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Owen Smith is setting off on a two-week bus tour of Britain as the Labour leadership fight enters its final month.
Jeremy Corbyn 's challenger unveiled the vehicle emblazoned with his name this morning in his home constituency of Pontypridd, South Wales.
The move marks a ramping-up of Mr Smith's campaign after a packed calendar of more than 40 events, with the next head-to-head debate against Mr Corbyn due on Thursday.
Donated to his campaign by a local coach firm owner, the battle bus will visit marginal Labour seats - including ones where the party lost out to the Tories last year.
Mr Smith claimed the tour will take Labour out of its "comfort zones" ahead of its first visit to Bristol, which is set to be followed by Cornwall tomorrow and the East of England on Thursday.

In an apparent dig at Mr Corbyn - who regularly addresses rallies for his loyal supporters - he told backers: "It’s not good enough for us to campaign in our comfort zones or in safe Labour heartlands.
"It needs to be a campaign that reaches out to supporters across the United Kingdom. From to Bristol to Birmingham, Glasgow to Gloucester, Corby to Cardiff.
“That’s why I’m launching this bus today. To reach out and talk to people about my radical vision for the Labour Party and my ideas to rebuild trust with the British people.”
Mr Smith claimed the tour would take activists out of "comfort zones"
The bus was donated by Jason Edwards, the owner of Pontypridd family firm Edwards Coaches.
It came as Jeremy Corbyn , who is beating Mr Smith in polls of Labour members, held a parallel event in London vowing to "democratise the internet".
His digital policy launch vowed to bring every British home high-speed broadband costing up to £25bn and promised rules to make state-funded software open-source.

"I don't think it's fair that people living in London get to enjoy 4G internet connection wherever they go, when in Wales, Cornwall and other places in the UK, they can't even get a single bar of reception," he said.
"Together, we will rebuild and transform Britain so that no on and no community is left behind."

Chris Hemsworth is the NEW name in the frame to bag the role of James Bond

Thor star Chris Hemsworth should be the next James Bond – according to 007’s stunt double.
Bobby Holland Hanton, a stunt co-ordinator and professional stuntman labelled the Aussie hunk “head and shoulders” above the competition and said: “Chris is in a league of his own.”
Hemsworth would be the second Australian to play the character, after George Lazenby in 1969.
The award winning stuntman, who appeared on three Bond films alongside Daniel Craig explained: “I am in the middle of filming Thor Raganok with Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and Idris Elba.
Chris Hemsworth stars as Thor
“The buzz and in my opinion is that it’s Chris Hemsworth for Bond. He would be perfect. I am not being biased in any way.
“I think he would be perfect for it, and he has got a fantastic English accent as everyone knows from his performance in Rush.
“He has obviously got the physical shape. Tom is also training and hard at it in his own gym, but Chris is in a league of his own when it comes to physique.”

Daniel Craig is set to stand down ahead of the next 007 movie after the huge success of his fourth outing ad Bond in Spectre - after spending several months deliberating.
And recently asked about the prospect of taking on the job, Hemsworth explained: “I don’t know many who wouldn’t jump at that.
‘Would it be scary and daunting? Of course. But what isn’t?”
Splash Chris Hemsworth has already said he would jump at the role
Bosses are understood to have wanted him back - but eventually Craig opted to switch his focus to new projects, saying in an interview: “We’re done. All I want to do is move on.”
Bobby, 31, added: “I worked on the last Bond, on Skyfall and then Spectre.
"I have doubled for Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig is rough and ready. Daniel is blonde, I don’t think they are too dissimiliar.
Daniel Craig starred in Casino Royale
“Chris is in ridiculously great shape himself anyway, I have to try hard to keep up with him. He is 6’4” and very physical and like Danie Craig in that he is bursting to do his own stunts.
“He makes my job a little bit easier because he is very athletic, he does a great job at his stunt work, he loves to do it.
“My first ever job was when I was stunt double to Daniel Craig, just 23 on my first ever job, new kid on the block and had to take it all, it was a huge learning curve.
REX Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift
“I was lucky enough to work on Skyfall and again Spectre. My experience on the Bond are always great.
"I hope I get a chance to work on the next and to be Chris’ double as the new Bond.”

West Ham still keen on Wilfried Bony loan despite landing Simone Zaza
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Slaven Bilic has not given up on a potential loan deal for Wilfried Bony despite landing £25million Simone Zaza from Juventus.
The West Ham boss remains angry that his side have missed out on the Europa League group stages for the second successive year to Romanian side Astra Giurgiu.
He will spend the final week of the window sorting out his attack to ensure the Hammers do not suffer similarly in the League.
Enner Valencia remains a target for both Aston Villa who have already had an ambitious bid rejected.
Loan signing Jonathan Calleri has made an unconvincing start while injury-prone Andy Carroll is out for up to six weeks with a knee injury.
Claudio Villa Simone Zaza is set to sign for the Hammers
Bilic has admitted to being delighted to have finally landed Italy striker Zaza, who scored five goals in 19 Serie A appearances last season.
He said: “It's very positive and it's a boost. We've been trying for a long time now to get a top-quality striker and he was always mentioned.”
Despite Bilic's claims to the contrary, Bony is still an option for a short-term deal until January when he is expected to leave Manchester City for China.

This shocking video shows the moment a vile thug hurled sickening racist insults at a black bouncer - branding him "n*****" in broad daylight.
The unknown man also appears to shout "black b******" in the direction of a doorman in Liverpool before then dropping his trousers and walking off.
Video footage of the incident, which took place at around 5pm yesterday, was shared on Facebook by James Reece, another bouncer at the venue.
Reece said he ‘froze’ when he heard the vile language being hurled at his colleague after they asked the man to leave Soho bar in Concert Square.
The man shouted "black b*******" as he walked away
He said he asked his manager to start filming halfway through the incident as he feared the situation could get worse.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo , Mr Reece said: “We get threats all the time, it comes with the job. But I kind of froze - I’ve not heard that word in a long time.
“I saw the shock on my colleague’s face. He said himself he hadn’t heard the word for years.
“Our manager told us to get rid of them and we told them to get off. He started shouting ‘you black this, you black that’.
He shouted "n****" more than 12 times before flashing his behind
“We pushed him away when he took a step forward. It was horrible, but it was pointless fighting.
“I normally wear a body camera but it was on charge. It was only going to go two ways - they would get bored and go off, or start fighting.
“Police would get involved in that case so I said to my manager to start filming so we had evidence it wasn’t us.
“There were people from flats above who could hear him above the music and started filming too.”
Google The racist abused the Concert Square doorman
Posting the video online, James said: “You hear it all the time doorman are thugs, bullies and lads on power trips. But what about the s*** people don’t see.”
He said he was amazed by how quickly the video went viral with tens of thousands of views and many horrified comments.
Merseyside Police said the incident had not been reported to them but urged anyone with information to get in touch on 101 or through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Alex Hales has broken a 23-year-old record to register England's highest-ever one-day international score.
The England opener hit a knock of 171 during the third one-day international against Pakistan at Trent Bridge to surpass the 167 that Robin Smith claimed against Australia in 1993.
Playing on his home ground, the Notts batsman launched Hasan Ali for four to ease past Smith's mark, but was out on the very next ball when Hasan trapped him.
That ended hopes of a maiden ODI double-hundred from an England batsman, but his remarkable innings was a huge boost for Eoin Morgan's hopes of wrapping up a series win.
REUTERS Hales broke Robin Smith's 23-year-old record
REUTERS Hales put England on the way to a huge total
Hales enjoyed a second-wicket stand of 248 with Joe Root, hitting 22 fours and four sixes from 122 balls as the hosts piled on the runs in the third of the five-game series.
Root maneuvered his way to a fifth consecutive ODI half-century, but was out soon after Hales, falling for 85.
Following Hales' historic knock, England are in with a chance of surpassing their national-record ODI total of 408 for nine that they scored against New Zealand at Edgbaston last year.

Beauty and the Beast is out next year
New images shared by a Disney fan have given us our first look at Lumiere and Cogsworth.
Beauty and the Beast is being made into a live action movie with Emma Watson as Belle, Ewan McGregor will voice Lumiere and Ian McKellen, Cogsworth, and is set for release next year.
Ahead of the release of the new collector's edition of the animated classic, the original film has been re-released on the USA iTunes store.
Luckily for us among the extras is a look at the new live action film.
One fan @maconodom took to Twitter to share images from the Bill Condon's remake giving us our first look at Lumiere and Cogsworth.
While Beauty and the Beast will be live action, the two famous characters will be CGI.
Lumiere on the left, that's Ewan McGregor, and Cogsworth on the right, that's Ian McKellen.
There's also a peak at Josh Gad as Le Fou and Luke Avans as Gaston - though he has his back to the camera.
@maconodom A Twitter user shared a screen grab showing Luke Avans as Gaston
That's Gaston in the red coat, and Josh Gad facing him.
The movie isn't out until next year, but we already know it will have the original music - with a few new additions.

Francis and Catherine McDonall were enjoying a two-week break at the park in Skegness, Lincs, when their daughter, Elisabeth, was taken ill

Butlin's defends decision to ask family with sick child to leave park, citing 'safety of other guests and staff'
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Bosses at Butlin's have defended their decision to ask a family to leave a holiday park after their three-year-old child was "a little bit sick".
Francis and Catherine McDonall criticised the company over its handling of the situation after their daughter, Elisabeth, fell ill at the park in Skegness, Lincs.
They said the youngster's temperature and vomiting were nothing more than a "perfectly normal" type of illness often experienced by children.
But when staff found out, the family, from Hull, East Yorks, were given two options - a 48-hour quarantine or leave the park immediately.
GUZELIAN Catherine and Elisabeth, pictured outside their apartment at Butlin's, were enjoying a two-week break
Mr McDonall has since compared the resort to "a totalitarian state".
However, the company has responded, saying the action was taken "due to concern for the health and safety of the other guests and team members".
A spokesman said: “We can confirm that our team regretfully had to ask the McDonnell family to leave the resort after learning that their daughter had been unwell throughout the day with a reduced appetite and bouts of vomiting during the night.
GUZELIAN The McDonalls were given two options - a 48-hour quarantine or leave the park immediately
"They were asked to leave due to concern for the health and safety of the other guests and team members on resort.
“As a gesture of goodwill, advisors offered the family a refund to cover the period of time they would miss, as well as the opportunity to remain on resort within their apartment should they wish.
"The family initially chose to remain, but continually breached the agreement by going out on to the resort so were asked to leave.
GUZELIAN Elisabeth's illness was "perfectly normal" for a child, according to her dad Francis
“Whilst incidents like this are rare, in these situations the health and safety of our guests and team must always remain paramount.”
The McDonalls were enjoying a two-week break at the park when Elisabeth fell ill.
They arrived last Friday and were intending on staying another week when their visit was abruptly cut short.
Mrs McDonnell said he had called reception to ask for extra sheets after Elisabeth had been sick, but was left shocked when staff arrived with yellow contamination bags and asked them to bag up the dirty sheets instead.
GUZELIAN Elisabeth's parents have criticised Butlin's staff over their handling of the situation
The family claim they were then given the choice of either a 48-hour quarantine inside their luxury apartment or to leave the park immediately.
When they refused to do either, they say Butlin's deactivated their access cards meaning they could not enter their rooms or get access to food.
Mr McDonnell said: "If she had convulsions or something like that I would understand but she was just a little bit sick. It was like they are trying to run a totalitarian state.
"I paid for this holiday so why should I not be able to enjoy it? If you have children, you know that this type of illness is perfectly normal and Elisabeth was fine a couple of hours later, so it would have been stupid to leave early.
GUZELIAN The letter given to the family by Butlin's
"Instead, someone on the phone, with no medical training, is making a clinical diagnosis that our daughter was contagious and a danger to other people . It was a total farce."
When the McDonnells called reception again to gain entry to their rooms, they say a security guard then escorted the family off the premises.
The family also had guests that day, meaning Mr McDonnell's disabled mother and a friend with a six-week-old baby were left without access to the rooms.
A letter written to the family confirms they were asked to leave due to their daughter having a 'contagious disease'.
Bosses at the company have defended their actions, citing the safety of other guests and staff
The letter states: "We are writing to confirm that we have asked you to leave the resort due to your daughter Elisabeth being ill during the night.
"It is stated in our terms and conditions that should Butlin's become aware, or have reasonable grounds for suspicion, that a guest has contracted a contagious disease that has the potential to infect a large number of people, they and their party will be required to leave the resort.
"If this is not possible, then restrictions will be placed upon their activities and movements."

Marnie Simpson looks worse for wear as she passes out in the back of a taxi after CBB wrap party

She came fourth in the Celebrity Big Brother final AND was reunited with her love Lewis Bloor - so no wonder Marnie Simpson wanted to celebrate.
The Geordie Shore star may have gone overboard at the free bar though as she was barely able to stand following the wrap party.
Kicking her shoes off, Marnie was escorted barefoot by her doting boyfriend Lewis to a waiting taxi at the end of the night .
But it seems the fresh air and alcohol didn't sit well with her as she had to be physically carried into the car by a burly security guard, before she passed out on the back seat.
FameFlynet Looks like all that booze has caught up with her
Earlier in the evening, Marnie and Lewis looked overjoyed to be reunited after seven whole days apart.
The couple were barely able to keep their hands off each other, with Lewis copping a feel of Marnie's bottom, while she lifted up his T-shirt to remind herself what his chiselled abs looked like.

The controversial contestant, who shocked with his X Rated antics, smooched with the Playboy beauty after being greeted by Emma Willis last night, but by the time he hit the after party he found plenty of other women to keep his attention.
Dressed in a shocking pink tropical print shirt and shades, he was pictured smoking and drinking as he laughed with a blonde and brunette after the bash.

Love interest Chloe was nowhere to be seen at the show's wrap party, despite her PDA with her lover for the cameras earlier on in the night.
Cheeky Bear, 26, couldn't hide his smugness as he jumped out of a car with a cigarette, a plastic cup of champagne, and a golden trophy after being named the surprising winner.
Stepping out in his usual eye-popping attire, he was papped in a pair of pink shorts and LILAC Nike trainers as he prepared to party the night away.
The blonde star ended up covered in lipstick after lapping up the attention from the ladies and joined runner-up Ricky Norwood and fellow housemates to celebrate the end of the show.

Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace's verdict on the CBB final: "Bear was nasty at times, I didn't think he'd win"
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
He's only gone and done it!
We all knew Bear was in with a good chance of winning, but I didn't think he actually would.
I guess I have to congratulate the rascal. As much as I wanted good to prevail, I have to admit the guy put his heart and soul into the show, and at times he was entertaining and funny.
I just despise the way Bear hurt others in there, and always for his own gain. That part of him I found nasty.
Even runner up Ricky said in his interview that Bear was extremely good at finding someone's weaknesses and then tapping away at them until that person broke.
Channel 5 Stephen Bear won Celebrity Big Brother
As I said, nasty.
He dominated the show, most air time was his. I suppose because of that he deserved to win and he earned his place, but no one had a chance with him around.
His interview was a mess; he didn't give straight answers to any of Emma's questions. He replied with a corny joke about making pancakes and breaking eggs. But I guess what more could we expect?
The guy is a child - an ego-driven, manipulating child. I would like to think he will learn from his journey, but alas I think we have created a monster.
We will have to endure pictures of him and Chloe everywhere, no doubt. Mate, I'm booking a flight out ASAP!
The rest of the housemates came out in this order: Ricky 2nd, Renee 3rd, Marnie 4th, Aubrey 5th, Frankie 6th.
Channel 5 Bear hugs Emma after taking the crown
Ricky certainly deserved his spot; he was kind, calm and a real gentleman throughout the show. However he was slightly boring at times, but that was probably because he felt a bit overwhelmed by everything. He did say in his interview it was an extremely hard experience.
It does make me laugh though when celebs say it's so hard. I did it for three months - they have nothing on me, I'm telling you, lol!
I was absolutely gutted Frankie didn't go further. In my eyes he's the true winner. He was funny, fun, and fabulous with it.
He always tried to keep the peace and I loved everything he stood for. The world needs more Frankie's in it, and that's fact. Can we all take a minute to appreciate his exit! It was spectacular! With glitter and sparkle, beautiful! Just like him inside and out.
Channel 5 The reality TV star in his exit interview
Renee coming third was also bitter sweet for me, I adored her. She was everything a strong alpha woman should be and reminded me of myself in some ways. She had a hard exterior but a soft yet strong and loyal heart. I loved the way she never failed to stand up to Bear and stick up for herself. What a woman!
Aubrey did well. Coming fifth in a British game show is pretty powerful. I loved her in the House, she was so loyal and I always agreed with everything she said.
She stuck by Renee all the time and you can't pay for loyalty like that. I hope they remain close back home. They are both strong females and when she spoke about not being close with her family it really touched me. I completely understood her on that level and her honesty melted my heart.
I was surprised Marnie didn't go further. I liked her. Oh well, at least she had Lewis and his weapon of mass destruction to come out to, I guess. I really hope they make it and I will be happy to see their photos.
Channel 5 The final of the Channel 5 show
Channel 5 Bear and Emma after the final
People on Twitter got upset with my anti-Bear mentality. Its ok, we are all allowed our own opinions and I always stick to mine, regardless of what the majority think. I feel a tremendous amount of loyalty to Big Brother and always want to see the show doing well. I personally think that the good guy should always win but maybe I'm just an old romantic.
Ah well, regardless I will still be hooked on the next series, no doubt!
Thank you all so much for reading and sharing my columns. Until the next time, love you all. Yep, even you Bear fans, lol! xx

Manchester City hopeful Sergio Aguero will escape ban ahead of United derby

Manchester City are hopeful Sergio Aguero could escape a ban ahead of the derby against fierce rivals United - due to the positioning of referee Andre Marriner when the striker's apparent elbow on Winston Reid took place.
Argentine Aguero was caught by television cameras catching Reid in Sunday's 3-1 win over West Ham, but Marriner had a clear view of the altercation and allowed play to go on.
Video replays appear to show Aguero swinging his elbow in the direction of the Hammers defender, who went off shortly after, report the Manchester Evening News.
Both Pep Guardiola and Slaven Bilic claimed not to have seen the incident.

If the FA choose to review the footage it could lead to a three-game ban for Aguero, who would miss the Manchester derby on September 10.
But there is hope at City that the case will not even go before an FA review panel, because the incident was clearly seen by the referee.
Former Premier League referee Graham Poll claims the FA “must” take retrospective action - writing in the Daily Mail: “Andre Marriner failed to see the elbow despite his proximity and so the Football Association will be able to use video evidence and charge him.”
If Marriner confirms he did see the incident it does not automatically mean Aguero will escape punishment, but the likelihood is that no further action will be taken - which is City’s hope ahead of Guardiola’s first meeting with Jose Mourinho in their new jobs.

NHS in crisis as waiting times head back to 'dark days of the 1980s'

Wards are so busy that empty NHS beds are more scarce than they have been for years
The NHS is heading back to the “dark days” of the long waiting times seen in the 1980s, a senior doctor has warned.
Clare Marx, the head of the Royal College of Surgeons , said delays were putting patients at risk with some waiting in “excessive” pain for routine surgery.
She told the Sunday Times: “Once you start getting someone who is waiting in excessive pain, then we really are failing in our goal to provide timely care for the whole population.
“We are not there yet. What we are seeing is a trend towards that. We have a real concern that if these trends continue we will find ourselves heading rapidly towards the dark days of long waiting times for the majority of people.”

Figures compiled by the Royal College of Surgeons showed occupancy rates for NHS hospital beds reached an average of 91.2% in the first three months of this year.
Ms Marx said the lack of beds was having a “knock-on effect” throughout the NHS and was behind the rise in waiting times.
Her warning came as former Tory health minister Dr Dan Poulter called for a new health and social care tax to save the NHS from collapse.
Dr Poulter MP, who still works as part-time time NHS doctor, said there was an “urgent” need for a “long-term plan to ensure a properly funded” NHS.
Getty Clare Marx says delays for people who are in 'excessive' pain means the NHS is failing
“I believe a health and care tax - perhaps introduced through raising national insurance - offers one of the simplest ways forward,” he said.
Shadow Health Secretary Diane Abbott said: “Now even a former Tory Health Minister is admitting the Tories have systematically underfunded the NHS and the system is on the verge of collapse.
“It is clear that the Government has no plan for delivering on its promise to cut social care costs. Social care is disintegrating, with mounting misery for patients and families.
“The Tories should be fixing the mess they have created and ensuring that the NHS has the money it needs.”

West Brom boss Tony Pulis warns Kane Wilson to stay grounded if he makes Premier League history

Kane Wilson has been warned to keep his feet on the ground if he becomes the first player born in the 21st century to play in the Premier League.
West Brom youngster Wilson, 16, may feature against Middlesbrough on Sunday with both left-backs Jonny Evans and Brendan Galloway struggling for fitness.
Regular full-back Chris Brunt remains sidelined too after knee surgery meaning Albion academy graduate Wilson could be given the nod.
The teenage defender, born in March 2000, replaced loanee Galloway for his debut at Northampton as Albion exited the League Cup on penalties.

Baggies boss Tony Pulis said: “He is only 16 and when you look at his attributes – he’s a very good athlete, he has great touch and great composure.
“I really do think he has a bright future but I have had him into my office on numerous occasions – it is keeping your feet on the ground and not getting carried away.
“You see so many people who get in and play well but then lose their way, but he will be managed properly, there is no way they will get away with that.”
Albion’s England keeper Ben Foster, 33, said: “He is one of the most promising 16-year-olds I’ve seen in a long time.

“I know the club are expecting big things from him but he’s a genuine talent, one of those rare ones you see from time to time coming through.
“He’s been amazing. He’s like a little tank.
“For a 16-year-old kid he’s really strong, but he’s a nice kid as well with a level head on his shoulders and he’s got a great future ahead of him.”
If Wilson plays he will be coming into a team that has won just one game in 12, including the embarrassing defeat at Northampton, leaving Pulis to defend his record.
Fans have started showing dissent leading Pulis, in charge since January 2015, to insist the plight of relegated rivals Aston Villa underlines the solid job he has done.

After keeping the club up in 13th in his first season, he guided Albion to 14th last term and he said: “In my job, win, lose or draw, people are going to criticise. You have to accept it.
“I am a custodian of the club but we haven’t done badly in 22 months at this club.
“Last year with 10 games to go we were safe and there’s a club across the road whose wage bill was nearly three times more than ours and is now in the Championship.”
But Pulis knows his small, ageing squad urgently needs reinforcing and fans are frustrated at the lack of transfer activity.
The arrivals of just Matt Phillips from QPR and Everton loanee Brendan Galloway means Albion, recently bought by new Chinese owners, have made a net surplus following the sale of James Chester to Villa.

The Baggies pulled out of a record £15million move for West Ham’s Diafra Sakho because of concerns over his fitness.
But Pulis is confident of landing Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez, capped by England, on loan and wants more new faces.
And Pulis thinks unsettled forward Saido Berahino could yet stay on the final year of his contract despite interest from Crystal Palace and Stoke.
He said: “The club needs new blood, we have stagnated and we need to push on.

“But I’m not going to panic and bring a load of players in to satisfy people and then, after two weeks, they say they are no better than what we’ve got.
“They have to be the right players. When I came into the club there were players who were here and have since left and they cost an enormous amount of money and the club has not got any return. “
Berahino has just one goal and no assists in his last 26 Premier League appearances but is likely to get another chance upfront today with the window close to shutting.
Pulis added: “Saido could have scored five goals against Northampton. He needs a bit of confidence but once he gets one I am sure he will be fine. The next three or four days are important for him.”
