He later begins making noises while being held down by four men.
Throughout the 50 second video, the man can be heard shouting "Pokémon, Pokémon!"

He allegedly told officers that he was waiting in line at the bank when he suddenly had "strange thoughts and lost control".
He has since been released on bail.

The woman was caught on camera writhing around on the floor after reportedly being tormented by evil spirits for months.
A pastor was called to the family home to perform spiritual healing on the woman as the recited prayers to rid her of the demons.
The woman had been possessed by spirits for three months, as reported by Canal 10 news channel .

Burnley close in on Chelsea starlet Patrick Bamford and also want Brighton's Dale Stephens

Burnley boss Sean Dyche is close to landing Patrick Bamford on loan from Chelsea - and has not given up on Brighton's Dale Stephens.
Burnley agreed Bamford's season-long move with Chelsea after Saturday's meeting at Stamford Bridge and are now finalising the striker's switch.
Bamford, 22, will boost Burnley's attacking options and scored 19 goals for Middlesbrough two seasons ago.
However he had unsuccessful loan spells at Crystal Palace and Norwich last season and has still to play a senior game for Chelsea.
Srdjan Stevanovic Bamford has never made a competitive first-team appearance for Chelsea
Dyche said: "Patrick is close. It's just a few 'i's getting dotted and 't's getting crossed."
Dyche is still pursuing Stephens, despite Brighton rejecting Burnley's latest bid of £5.5million.
He believes the Clarets may yet be able to do a deal, even though the Seagulls say the midfielder is not for sale.

Liverpool flop Mario Balotelli having medical at Nice as he nears end of Reds nightmare

Mario Balotelli is having a medical with Nice as he nears the end of his Liverpool nightmare.
Balotelli flew to the south of France yesterday and has begun his medical checks, even though his departure has still to be agreed.
However Liverpool believe any last-minute issues can be ironed out and that Balotelli will be joining Nice.
The controversial Italian, who has not played for Liverpool since April 2015, has been told by Reds boss Jurgen Klopp to leave Anfield because he is not part of his first-team plans.

Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola spent the summer searching for a new club and despite interest from his homeland, no concrete offer from Serie A emerged for the former Manchester City and AC Milan striker.
Instead Balotelli is set to play in Ligue 1 for the first time with Nice and end his latest stint in England.

Sergio Aguero set to miss Manchester derby following FA violent conduct charge over Winston Reid 'elbow'

Sergio Aguero is set to miss the Manchester derby after being charged by the FA.
The Argentine striker clashed with Winston Reid during City's 3-1 victory over West Ham on Sunday but the incident was not spotted by referee Andre Marriner.
Replays showed Aguero appearing to elbow the defender and he has now been charged with violent conduct.
He is set to be handed a three-game ban as a result and would miss the Old Trafford showdown on September 10.
Aguero can appeal the charge but must reply by 6pm on Wednesday and any appeal process will be over well before next weekend.

Aguero has started the season strongly for City, netting six goals in four appearances in all competitions.
He was due to link up with the Argentina squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers but has been ruled out with a calf injury.
Following the win over West Ham, Pep Guardiola insisted City would cope without Aguero - should he be banned.
“I didn’t see it so I cannot comment. Hopefully, nothing happens.
"If it happens, we accept and adapt. If we lose him, we lose him. We are going to play with 11.”

Rita Ora turns heads in a backless dress as she shrugs off Simon Cowell's 'selfish' comment

Rita Ora looked fierce as she turned heads in a backless black dress.
The pop star , who is focusing on her career after being replaced on The X Factor judging panel, stunned in the gown in New York after Simon Cowell hinted her and Cheryl were too SELFISH to focus on finding and nurturing talent.
Reets looked as though she didn't have a care in the world as she stopped traffic in the black ensemble with silver detailing and a huge thigh split.
She stepped out with smokey eyes and a nude lip as she wore her hair in a relaxed style around her shoulders, adding a decorative necklace to her glam look.

Splash Her Big Apple wardrobe is impressive
The singer, who has been spending a lot of time in the Big Apple filming America's Next Top Model, navigated the pavement in a pair of towering strappy heels and made sure she didn't have a wardrobe malfunction as she climbed into a cab.
She even turned back to give the camera a sexy look before heading off.
Music mogul Simon, 56, appears to have hit out at Rita and Chezza, hinting they were more concerned with their own careers than developing new artists, as he welcomes back judges Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne to the ITV show.
He explained: "When you're sitting as a judge and you're judging these shows you have to like people. If you don't, you can't do this job. It's as simple as that.
Splash She gave the camera a sexy glance
Splash Rita walked to her car as she headed out
"I mean, this is one of the issues I have at the moment when you put too many singers on a judging panel."
Nick Grimshaw also previously joked it was Rita who got them "sacked" from The X Factor because of her bizarre comments to acts.
The cheeky presenter, who was hosting his usual BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, was on the phone to a listener when he blamed the star for them getting fired.
Northerner Nick was playing a game centred around Kanye West quotes and used one which was actually from pal Rita, who said: "Your voice is really well baked, like a really good cooked ham."
He then told the caller: "Oh, that was one of Rita Ora's great quotes on last year's X Factor . It's nonsense quotes like that that got us all fired, Rita!"

Read ex-BHS worker's letter to shameless tycoon Philip Green in full

As Sir Philip Green yesterday hid on his £100million super-yacht a former BHS worker tried to question him about the firm’s demise.
The tycoon – dubbed Philip Greed – refused to come out of his floating palace Lionheart despite single mum Hannah Cullen, 23, politely asked him to face her.
Using a loudhailer, she told the billionaire: “You are a coward.”
Hannah, now living on £120-a-week in benefits after six years working at BHS, earlier told the former owner: “Sir Philip Green, my name is Hannah Cullen.
“I’m a former employee of BHS and I’ve been made redundant because of your actions. You are here on your £100million yacht while thousands of BHS workers have been left without jobs.
Daily Mirror/John Alevroyiannis Hannah Cullen shouts at Green's boat
“What you’re doing is cowardly. Would you come and face me? I’ve got a letter for you and I’d like to deliver it to you.”
Her heartbreaking letter in full:
Daily Mirror/John Alevroyiannis Hannah with her letter for the former BHS boss
"My name is Hannah Cullen, I am a mum of one who joined BHS back in 2010 while at sixth-form college.
I was so excited when I got the job and to know I had started my career at such a respected company.
It felt like I had joined a great team, but sadly now that has all now been broken up, mainly because of your management, or indeed lack of it.
Over the last six years I’ve watched this once great company fall apart.
Stores were left to deteriorate to the point where at winter we would be forced to wrap up and wear gloves and scarves.
In the summer months, staff risked passing out from the heat as there was no air conditioning. I’m in no doubt many other stores faced similar problems.
We would work all hours and would have to drop everything with as little as a few hours’ notice due to a lack of staff, leaving our families to suffer.
I was a customer services assistant, not a billionaire businessman like you, but if I had been given just 10 minutes of your time I could have told you how to improve things. I simply do not understand how you could not see all these failings... Or did you just choose to ignore them?
I am so upset that I will no longer work for BHS. I was proud to do my job, many of my customers became great friends.
You have managed to destroy an iconic part of the British High Street which could easily have been saved.
But the company is now gone forever.
I wish the best for everyone who worked for BHS. It survived so long because of them, people who actually cared for it and treated it like it mattered, not you. I hope you will one day realise the pain and damage you have caused to such a faithful group of people. It is them you have betrayed."
Daily Mirror/John Alevroyiannis Green wouldn't listen to Hannah
Some of Green’s 40 boat staff did come outside to listen but Green, 64, remained unmoved behind the vessel’s black smoked glass. His cowardice came less than 48 hours after BHS’s 22 remaining stores were closed down by administrators, ending the iconic chain’s proud 88-year history .
Hannah, of Ware, Herts, travelled to Capri, Italy, after taking a flight from London Stansted to Rome. She then made a two-hour car trip to Naples and a 45-minute boat ride to the exclusive island.
She said last night: “I didn’t take the decision to travel to Capri lightly, but I decided I needed to come to try and speak to Mr Green. I worked hard for him for six years to help fund his lifestyle and this is how he has repaid me.

“The way he behaves is disgusting.”
She added: “I wanted to explain to him the impact his decisions had and ask him for his reassurances that he will at least do everything he can to save workers’ pensions.
“He didn’t even give me the courtesy of walking out on to the deck of his boat to see me. It just shows the contempt he clearly holds us in.”
In the emotional letter, published in the Mirror today, Hannah told how she was excited to join BHS in 2010. But she expressed anger that her store in Harlow, Essex, and others around the country were left to deteriorate.

She wrote: “Over the last six years I’ve watched this once great company fall apart.
“You have managed to destroy an iconic part of the British High Street which could easily have been saved.”
Billionaire Green – who has been on a sailing holiday in the Mediterranean for more than five weeks – bought BHS and more than 170 stores in 2000.
He sold it to a group of investors led by three-times bankrupt Dominic Chappell for £1 last year . The company’s collapse in April led to a lengthy parliamentary inquiry.
A report by Labour MP Frank Field said Green plundered vast sums from its coffers.
WireImage Sir Philip Green has been labelled Sir Philip Greed over the BHS debacle
Thousands of Mirror readers have called for Green to be stripped of his knighthood, as he comes under growing pressure to fill the firm’s £571million pensions black hole .
The Pensions Regulator is probing dealings of the Arcadia Group, Green family subsidiaries and wife Lady Tina, 67, who controls the family fortune. And the Serious Fraud Office has said a criminal investigation could be launched if there are reasonable grounds to suspect fraud.

Hannah, whose four-year-old daughter Amelia is set to start school next month, added: “I only got a £200 redundancy payment and I’m now being forced to feed and clothe myself and my daughter using Jobseeker’s Allowance and child credits.
Getty Workers hug outside the BHS Store
“At the same time, Green and his family are free to carry on living a life of luxury.
“I don’t begrudge any business owner a nice life, but it’s wrong entrepreneurs can come in and make huge profits and then just pull out when things aren’t going well.

“While Mr Green was taking huge financial dividends out of BHS, we were being forced to work in shoddy conditions because the store was being neglected.
“There was no investment to try and tempt new customers in. I believe it was purposely left to rot and fail.
“I’d certainly welcome a criminal investigation into the actions of Mr Green, Dominic Chappell and anyone else involved in the store’s demise. Mr Green can’t hide on his boat for ever.”
Green hopes that finally writing a fat cheque will get him off the hook.
Staff have been in talks with the Pensions Regulator about shortfalls in BHS’s two pension funds. Reports say he is ready to offer £300million.
That will be in exchange for a wider pensions investigation being dropped. That probe could take in Lady Green, owner of Arcadia which ran BHS. But Green’s problems don’t end there. The Serious Fraud Office is still reviewing evidence before it decides if it will investigate.
And the Insolvency Service is carrying out a fast-track probe that could lead to ex-bosses being banned from directorships.
SIR Philip, 64, and his wife Lady Tina, 67, have enjoyed a five-week trip around the Med as BHS collapsed.
The billionaire’s luxury £100million super-yacht Lionheart left Livorno,
Italy, at the beginning of July, before clocking up thousands of miles ferrying the pair and their 40 staff - including a chef and a dog walker - around Europe.
After leaving Livorno, the boat made its way to Malta before continuing into the Ionian Sea.
The boat then made its way through the famous Korinth Canal, before moving on to the Aegian Islands for a number of weeks, including Skiathos,
Skopelos, Alonnisos, Spetses, Hydra, Lefkada, Ithaca and Corfu.
Then on Friday morning, Green continued to live the high-life onboard Lionheart after the boat left Corfu.
He then spent the weekend just off the coast of the picturesque Aeolian Islands of Lipari and then Stromboli, before arriving at Marina Piccola, on the south side of Capri just hours before BHS’ closure.
He stayed just off the shore of the exclusive island until yesterday afternoon when he ordered deckhands to prepare the vessel to leave and it continued on its way to its next destination.
Lionheart left the south coast of Capri yesterday afternoon.
Tonight it was understood he would today arrive at Costa Smeralda, a coastal area in northern Sardinia.

Crystal Palace 1-1 Bournemouth: Last-gasp Scott Dann header hands Eagles first point - 5 things we learned
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Josh King looked to have fired Bournemouth to their first win of the season until Crystal Palace skipper Scott Dann headed home a vital late equaliser.
The visitors scored the first goal of the game on 11 minutes. Christian Benteke’s poor clearance only went as far as Harry Arter, who played the ball back in for King to take it down on his chest before firing across Steve Mandana into the far corner,
Palace were handed the chance to level shortly after when Charlie Daniels was penalised for a shirt-tug on Benteke.
However, Yohan Cabaye saw spot-kick saved by Artur Boruc as Bournemouth went into the break with their noses in front.
Palace piled on the pressure in the second half, and got their just rewards through Dann's late header.

Here’s five things we learned:
1. Mike Dean is consistent
Stoke boss Mark Hughes blasted the official for giving two controversial penalties during their defeat to Manchester City last week.
Dean penalised both sides for grappling at corner kicks as he applied the letter of the law.
And the man in the middle at least proved he was consistent after awarding Palace a spot-kick for Daniels’ tug on Benteke.
2. Bournemouth’s speed demons caused Palace problems

Cherries trio Jordon Ibe, King and Callum Wilson gave the Eagles defenders a torrid time in the first half.
Wilson led the line superbly while King and Ibe added more pace that caused Damien Delaney and Scott Dann problems.
King deserved his goal, while Wilson almost added a second but was foiled by Mandana.
3. Zaha not in the right frame of mind?
Getty Wilfried Zaha came on and impressed - but his future is up in the air
Wilfried Zaha was left out of the starting XI by Alan Pardew amid speculation over his future.
Tottenham failed with a £12million bid for the winger on Thursday, with Eagles chairman Steve Parish insisting Zaha is not for sale.
The Palace fans are desperate for him not to follow Yannick Bolasie out of the door, and at one stage almost the whole of Selhurst Park were saluting their hero.
He received a standing ovation when he was introduced for the final 25 minutes and caused plenty of problems to the visiting defence.
4. Benteke not yet up to speed
REUTERS Left behind: Benteke hasn't got off to a flyer at Palace
Christian Benteke is keen to hit the ground running at Selhurst Park following his big-money move from Liverpool.
The big Belgian made his first Premier League start for his new club, partnering Connor Wickham in attack.
He was in the thick of things at both hands, with his poor clearance leading to Bournemouth’s opener before being fouled for Palace’s penalty.
However, he still needs a bit more time to get up to speed.
5. Palace are slow starters
REUTERS Crystal Palace's Yohan Cabaye misses a penalty
The Eagles have now failed to find the net in the first half of their last 11 Premier League games.
In fact, Alan Pardew’s side have managed just one goal in the opening period of their last 15 matches.
Cabaye’s penalty miss ensured that miserable run continued, and King’s strike rubbed salt into their wounds before the break.
Palace were the final side in the Premier League to score a goal - after 270 minutes.

Ruby Rose is single again after brief romance with Harley Gusman: 'They weren't on the same page'

They only made their relationship official on July 4, posting cosy snaps at Taylor Swift's huge celebrity bash at her Rhode Island home.
But Ruby Rose and her girlfriend Harley Gusman have already gone their separate ways.
The Orange is the New Black star and the model have reportedly called time on their romance after just three months.
A source told People: "It just didn't work out. They weren't on the same page."

The break up will no doubt come as a surprise as just last month Ruby, 30, shared on social media how Harley had written her a love letter for every day they spent apart to help her get "through" her summer tour.
Taking to her Instagram account at the time, the DJ uploaded a photograph of an envelope with the date scribbled on it, along with the caption: "One for everyday because she knows it gets me through. (sic)"
The pair were first spotted enjoying a romantic dinner at the sushi restaurant Katsuya in Hollywood in June and had been bombarding fans with cute photos on their media sites.
Ruby started dating Harley seven months after she dumped her ex-fiancée Phoebe Dahl following a 20-month long engagement.

Phoebe - who is the granddaughter of author Roald Dahl - previously said their decision to split was mutual and that she and Ruby will continue to love and "support" each other.
It's believed their respective busy work schedules contributed to their decision to end their relationship.
The long distance nature of their romance, which saw Ruby based in Australia and the US and Phoebe in the UK, also led to their break up.
Both Ruby and Harley are yet to publicly confirm they've ended their romance.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte hints at more signings following Burnley win

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has hinted he could add to his squad before the transfer deadline following the Blues' 3-0 win against Burnley.
Goals from Eden Hazard, Willian and Victor Moses earned three points for the Blues - but the Italian says he is still searching for new faces.
The win maintained Chelsea's 100 per cent start to the season and put them top of the Premier League ahead of Manchester United and Manchester City's fixtures.
Conte was pleased with his side's display, giving particular praise to Hazard, but stressed there is still room for improvement.

"It was a good game and performance and we played good football with good possession," he said.
"We created a lot of chances and kept a clean sheet - this is important because after 13 home games without a clean sheet this helps the confidence and shows the hard work is paying off.
"We have started very well this season but we must know we can improve.

"Eden Hazard must be this decisive in every game, and I am pleased because I saw it today, but we must work to improve more.
"We are working close together, the club and I, and we are trying to find the right solutions to improve this squad. We have four days to find this, but I am pleased to work with the squad I have."

Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas facing months on the bench with NO transfer bids yet as window enters final day

If Fabregas stays at Chelsea it seems it will be just as a squad player
Cesc Fabregas is set to be frozen out at Chelsea this season - despite claiming he has the backing of boss Antonio Conte.
Fabregas denied on social media last weekend that he had told by Conte that he is free to leave the club.
But the Spain international is not seen as a first-team starter under Chelsea ’s new manager and the Blues are also prepared to listen to offers for him - though so far there have been none, and Wednesday night's transfer deadline just a day away.
Midfielder Fabregas , who was a regular last season under first Jose Mourinho and then interim manager Guus Hiddink, has featured in only two of Chelsea’s four games so far this season and started just one of those.
Reuters Fabregas was a key figure in making Chelsea champions again two seasons ago...
Getty ...but under new management he has started just one of this season's first four games
Contact has been made with a number of clubs in Italy and his homeland without success, leaving the 29-year-old facing up to life as a squad player at Stamford Bridge this season.
The former Arsenal captain’s situation will also have an effect on his international chances.
In pictures — Three wins from three for Chelsea as they batter Burnley:
While his Stamford Bridge team-mates Diego Costa and Juan Mata have been recalled for the Spain squad to face Belgium and Liechtenstein in World Cup qualifiers next week, Fabregas - who has over 100 caps - has been left out by new boss Julen Lopetegui.

As we revealed earlier this summer, Fabregas’ long-term future was plunged into doubt when the Blues began seeking new recruits in midfield.

Conte wants more energy in that part of the pitch following the failings of last season, which saw champions Chelsea finish only tenth and sack Mourinho.
Manchester United had been seen as a possible destination for a man who was one of Mourinho’s first signings two years ago as he began building a team that would go on to lift the title. But the Special One has decided against a reunion.

Millions of families living in 'extreme debt' as loan costs spiral and wages are squeezed

Millions of families living on the brink of poverty as loan costs spiral
Millions of families are living on the edge as loan costs spiral out of control fuelled by a squeeze on wages, researchers have warned.
Figures from the TUC this week showed 1.6million households are already in “extreme debt” – with a significant chunk of their income going to pay off credit.
And campaigners warn the level of financial worries is driving many into physical and mental health problems as they battle to cope.
A second report shows one in every six adults – more than eight million – owe money on things other than a mortgage.
It found 3.2million households have now plunged into “problem debt”, where a quarter of their entire income goes on interest and repaying credit.
Getty Figures from the TUC this week showed 1.6million households are already in “extreme debt”
The TUC revealed that total unsecured debt, including car loans and credit cards, rose to £353billion in 2015, an increase of £48billion in three years.
Frances O’Grady , TUC General Secretary, said: “Families can’t continue relying on credit cards and loans to get by.
“But with the average wage still worth £40 [a week] less than before the 2008 crash, lots of families have little choice.
“Higher wages must be at the heart of the Government’s economic plan.
"We need a return to proper year-on-year pay rises and a higher national minimum wage.”
Getty Frances O'Grady is urging the government to put higher wages at the heart of their economic plan
The lack of growth in wages means that millions more people could be sucked in to an ever-growing spiral of debt.
David Rodger, chief executive of charity Debt Advice Foundation, said: “As real wages continue to fall, the inevitable result is an increase in consumer borrowing – and in debt repayment costs.
“Personal borrowing has continued upwards, towards the record levels prior to the 2008 global recession .
“If you’re worried about debt, the best course of action is to contact a not-for-profit debt advice charity who will look at all the available options.”
Fears of a looming crisis were echoed by the Money Advice Service, which found more than three million families handing over at least a quarter of their earnings to keep on top of debts.
Rex Familes choosing to spend more on heating and less on food
Funded by industry regulator the FCA, the agency was set up by the Government to offer free guidance on spending worries.
Their breakdown by region found Sandwell, in the West Midlands, has the households owing the most – with almost a quarter of people finding it hard to manage their repayments.
Experts warn that larger families and single parents are among the most vulnerable groups.
And rising rents mean tenants too are increasingly sliding into debt.
Sheila Wheeler, the agency’s director of UK debt advice, said: “We’re concerned at the high level of household debt across the country, particularly the number of people borrowing money to cover living expenses.
Getty Images Rising rents mean tenants too are increasingly sliding into debt
“Our latest research estimates that 8. 2million UK adults suffer with problem debt – with younger adults, larger families and single parents noticeably at higher risk.
"We know free debt advice works – but currently, only one in five people in difficulty seeks help.
“We fully back the TUC’s call to help low income families access debt restructuring and insolvency support.”
She added it was important people were given time and support to get their finances back on track “without pressure from their creditors.”
The full regional breakdown of debt shows people are struggling right across the country – with the Scots least likely to borrow their way out of trouble.
The Money Advice Service/CACI Where debt is worst across the country
As well as neglected cities in the North, three London boroughs make it into the top ten.
And vulnerable areas of South Wales and Northern Ireland are also included.
The lowest borrowing is found in East Renfrewshire in Scotland, where just 10 per cent of people are in debt.
The report, which was published by the Money Advice Service along with marketing firm CACI, used a range of criteria to piece together an overall picture of debt in the UK.
They found that 29 per cent of people living in social housing are reliant on loans, along with 21 per cent of those renting from a private landlord.
The Money Advice Service/CACI Which areas are struggling the most revealed
And a quarter of all families with three or more children are in debt.
Unsurprisingly, earnings were a significant factor – with those making less than £10,000 more likely to be getting by on loans and credit cards.
People aged between 25 and 34 were four times more likely to be in debt than those aged over 65.
Peter Tutton, head of policy at debt advice charity StepChange , said extreme debt is triggered by the income squeeze on people who are managing on a low-to-middle income.
He said: “Then they face some sort of financial shock that pushes them over the edge – maybe then they use credit cards, overdrafts and payday loans to try to manage and fill the gaps.
Getty Images Extreme debt is triggered by the income squeeze on people who are managing on a low-to-middle income
“That pressure gets worse and worse and worse. People get stressed – half of our clients say they’ve had treatment from hospital for debt related physical and mental health problems.
“People get stressed and ill, and some of them have to give up their jobs because they can’t work.
“That’s a lot of people being put on the dole by debt.
“In a lot of cases their relationships break down and then they lose their houses. There’s all these tremendous and horrific hardships, all coming out of debt.”
£20,000 racked up on credit cards
Software engineer Martin Langley built up £20,000 on credit cards after losing his job in the economic crash.

For more more than eight years he has battled to find work – and as he struggled to pay his bills he turned for help to the enticing credit offers.
It was only the cushion of equity in his South West London home, bought for £30,000 in 1983, that helped him survive.
Martin, 63, said: “In 2008 a lot of people lost jobs in IT – I was one of them. I got a deal with one of the credit card companies.
“At first the rates were so low that they were paying me to take their money away, when you allowed for inflation. It didn’t affect me too much for a couple of years – then they just got out of hand.”
Eight years on he is on £650-a-month dole money and still in debt – but has repayments under control thanks to help from the Debt Advice Foundation.
Killing myself seemed the only option
Lecturer James Martin twice considered taking his own life after he plunged more than £18,000 in debt.

The ex bank worker was made redundant when the Royal Bank of Scotland was bailed out and slashed jobs.
Then his flatmate also lost his job and he was left with the burden of paying rent and bills single-handed.
James, 29, said: “Each month I was paid £1,300 but the outgoings were £1,500. It was a year of hell. I started getting into my overdraft, using credit cards and then turned to payday loans.
“I was asking for money off friends, family, anyone. At one point I owed my mum nearly £2,000.” Eventually he turned to food banks, then moved back to his parents’ home.
He went into a spiral of depression as debt collectors rang threatening to call his loved ones if he did not pay. And he took to staying in bed asleep to “avoid the hunger pangs”.
James, now living in Carlisle, said: “I didn’t even tell my family about it. I tried suicide twice. It wasn’t a decision – you just think, ‘If I wasn’t here, no one would care’.”
It was only when James met workers from charity StepChange that he was able to start dealing with his debts, now down to £1,400. James said: “The thing that helped was talking it through. You sit there and think, ‘How is this fair?’”

The so-called "Touch Disease" has led many iPhone 6 and 6s handsets to become unusable

Apple sued after 'grey bar of death' renders iPhone 6 screens useless

Apple is being sued by iPhone 6 and 6s owners who claim that a critical design flaw made their handsets completely unusable.
"The iPhones are not fit for the purpose of use as smartphones because of the touchscreen defect," according to a proposed US class-action lawsuit filed over the weekend in San Jose, California.
The problem, labelled "Touch Disease", was first spotted last week by gadget repair specialist iFixit.
A growing number of customers complained that a flickering grey bar had appeared at the top of the their iPhone screens.
Shortly afterwards, the screens had stopped working altogether, rendering the handsets useless.
Facebook / Getty The grey bar is said to appear before the handset becomes totally unresponsive
The issue was traced back to a structural flaw in the iPhone 6 and 6s, which became widely known as #Bendgate following the handsets' release in 2014.
Some users found that the phones were prone to gradual bending, particularly if stored in a back pocket.
Apple addressed the issue by introducing a strengthened rear case on its subsequent iPhone 6 Plus and 6s Plus models.
However, the issue with the iPhone 6 remains.
It is thought that the bending may cause cracks in the solder that connects the phone's touchscreen to the logic board, resulting in a loss of connection.
This could potentially cause the grey bar and the unresponsive screens.
Unbox Therapy / YouTube The malleable nature of the iPhone 6 and 6s resulted in #Bendgate
Todd Cleary of California, Jun Bai of Delaware and Thomas Davidson of Pennsylvania are the named plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which accuses Apple of fraud and violating California consumer protection laws.
The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages.
Apple has not yet made a statement on the lawsuit.
In July, Apple celebrated the sale of its one billionth iPhone.
"iPhone has become one of the most important, world-changing and successful products in history," said Tim Cook.
The tech giant is expected to unveil its iPhone 7 at an event confirmed for 7 September.
Apple could also unveil its rumoured Apple Watch 2.

Desperate couple who gave up £250,000 home to fund IVF finally welcome their miracle baby
| null | null |

A couple who gave up their £250,000 home to fund IVF after suffering six miscarriages have finally welcomed their miracle baby.
Jo and Adam Wiggins, both 33, from Braintree, Essex, lost six babies in four years before Max's arrival in June.
The couple were so desperate to fund another round of IVF treatment they rented out their home and moved back in with their parents to save up £10,000 for private IVF.
Jo, an administrator for the NHS, said: "We gave up everything to have our miracle baby and I wouldn't change anything we did because without that we wouldn't have Max.
"Going through the trauma of one miscarriage was hard enough but after suffering six we were completely heartbroken but I was determined to be a mother.
Caters News Jo had suffered six miscarriages before Max was born
"After visiting a specialist I found out that I carried a high quantity of killer cells that were attacking my embryos causing the miscarriages, so I was placed on a mixture of drugs and we tried again.
"But we were then faced with another setback after I miscarried that time as tests also revealed Adam's sperm motility was low which meant we'd need to pay for IVF.
"We had already spent all of our savings on the miscarriage treatments so we were left with no other option but to rent out our home in order to save the money for IVF which cost £10,000.
"Thankfully it worked though and once we saw our baby at our 12 week scan we were overcome with emotion.
Caters News Little Max was born in June
"After so much heartbreak we nearly gave up hope but I'm so glad we didn't, Max is our little miracle and we are so thrilled to finally be parents."
Jo and Adam met in 2010 through a mutual friend and soon fell pregnant in 2011.
Despite the pregnancy being unplanned they both wanted a family and were thrilled with the news.
Jo added: "We were thrilled by the news and naively told everyone who would listen that we were having a baby, but at around six weeks I started to bleed and after collapsing was taken into hospital.
"Two weeks later it was confirmed that I had suffered a miscarriage, it was really hard to accept and it made Adam and I realise that we were ready for children so we started actively trying.
Caters News Jo and Adam Wiggins sacrificed their 250,000 home in a last ditch IVF bid
"Over the next three years I got pregnant four more time but sadly miscarried each time, it was such a difficult time.
"I even miscarried whilst on our honeymoon in Mexico, it was supposed to be a really happy time for us but unfortunately it wasn't and this gave us the push to look into the reason behind this miscarriages.
"I found a private specialist who explained that I had a high level of Natural Killer (NK) cells that attacked the embryos as my body saw them as a threat.
"He came up with a treatment plan and I was placed on steroids, an intralipid infusion and a Malaria tablet to reduce the killer cells.
"I fell pregnant for the sixth time in early 2014 and as we reached the six week mark we saw a heartbeat, something we hadn't seen before, but sadly a day before our one year wedding anniversary I miscarried again, that one was hardest as we had so much more hope this time."
Up until this point, the couple had never experienced any fertility issues, but after 12 months of trying to get pregnant a seventh time they were unsuccessful in their attempts.
Jo and Adam Wiggins are now enjoying life as parents
Tests revealed that Adam's sperm had low motility and the couple were now in need of IVF, but as they didn't qualify on the NHS they would need to find £10,000 to fund the treatment privately.
Jo said: "We had already spent in excess of £15,000 on treatments at the miscarriage clinic and had run out of savings, so we decided to rent out our family home and move back in with my parents for a year to save money.
"It was a really tough time but my family wanted to do all they could to help, we are so grateful and my Nan even lent us half of the money as she knew how much we wanted a baby.
"My sister offered to be a surrogate, she already has two children so wanted to help but I'm stubborn and wasn't ready to give up, I was determined to carry my own baby.
"Thankfully the IVF worked and I became pregnant a seventh time, but we wasn't out of the danger zone yet as I could still miscarry.
"Week by week our baby was getting stronger and at our 12 week scan we finally saw him, we both burst into tears and this was the first time we allowed ourselves to get excited.
"At 39 weeks my waters broke and after a 36 hour labour Max was born, there was some complications at birth but luckily he was healthy and after four days we were able to take him home."

Chelsea 3-0 Burnley: Eden Hazard inspires Blues third successive league win
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Eden Hazard inspired a rampant Chelsea to a third straight Premier League win this season as Antonio Conte’s side maintained their 100 per cent record.
If Burnley arrived at Stamford Bridge hoping their 19 per cent possession win over Liverpool might be repeated, that notion was swiftly shattered by this mis-match.
Belgium star Hazard had already had one chance when after nine minutes he picked the ball up just in the Clarets’ half, before running at the defence and curling a wonderful shot past Tom Heaton.
He almost added a second soon after, only a desperate goal-line clearance from Ben Mee denying him. But there was no stopping Chelsea, and the recalled Brazilian Willian fired in No2 from an angle just before half-time.
REUTERS Star man: Hazard led the Burnley defence a merry dance
REUTERS Into the swing: Willian got Chelsea's second
The 25-year-old Hazard, surely nearing his peak years as a player, continued to torment Sean Dyche’s men after the break.
He almost teed up Diego Costa before seeing a superb volley from Willian’s corner saved by Heaton and then firing just over on the hour.
Burnley did muster a flurry of corners, but there was no way back for them and Hazard was substituted after 80 minutes with the applause ringing in his ears, the Belgian left to watch on as Victor Moses added a third late on.
Here's five things we learned:
1. Hazard renaissance in full swing
REUTERS Wonderful: Hazard's glorious opener
Eden Hazard may have suffered a baffling loss of form last season, but all the signs are that the Belgium star could be back to something approaching his best this term.
A stumble and loss of control when moving into the penalty area after just seven minutes might have seen a slump of the shoulders in the recent past.
Not now. Within two minutes of that failure Hazard picked up the ball 45 yards out and ran at the Burnley defence before curling a delightful shot past Tom Heaton.
It was a world-class goal from a world-class player whose prolonged slump was a mystery up there with the Bermuda Triangle and Loch Ness Monster, but now looks as if he is enjoying himself again. There was also a ‘Rabona’ cross thrown in during the second half.
Burnley’s Matt Lowton was even losing to headers to Hazard – the right-back won’t have a tougher afternoon for a long time.
2. Blues nail last year's horror statistic
REUTERS All together now: The Blues were dominant
Hazard’s return to form might almost be representing Chelsea as a whole, with a surge of optimism running through every part of the club.
The desperate days of last season look a thing of the past, with Antonio Conte having injected his brand of passionate pragmatism into the Premier League.
An extraordinary statistic from last season was that Chelsea did not win back to back home league games throughout the whole campaign.
From the moment Hazard opened the scoring there was never going to be any repeat this term, as Chelsea added victory over Burnley to the earlier one against West Ham.
3. Burnley outclassed but not downcast
Getty Fighting spirit: George Boyd makes a challenge on Diego Costa
Was Burnley’s win over Liverpool a freak, fluke result? That is now the challenge for Sean Dyche and his men now, to prove that it wasn’t.
Against title challengers Chelsea it was men against boys, everything that Burnley fans might have feared after gaining promotion from the Championship.
On the plus side, they won’t be playing a formidable Chelsea every week, and the crucial points for survival or better will come against other lesser teams.
But even the watching and chastened Burnley fan Alastair Campbell would have had trouble spinning this one as anything other than a humbling experience. A boxing fight would have been stopped.
4. Chelsea look balanced once more
REUTERS Busy: Kante is a fine addition
Chelsea look to have got their balance back. N’Golo Kante, the summer arrival from champions Leicester, appears to the manor born alongside Nemanja Matic mopping up everything that comes through the middle.
And ahead of that pair the trio of Hazard, Oscar and Willian bristled with menace throughout the contest, with Diego Costa up top.
Admittedly the back four, about whom questions have been asked, were not really tested. The ball hardly ever got as far as Andre Gray and Sam Vokes, such was the midfield dominance.
That challenge will surely come against Chelsea’s title rivals and defence remains an area where the Blues are most likely to strengthen before the window closes.
5. Conte a worthy addition to Premier League cast
REUTERS Good work: Antonio Conte is doing a fine job
It seems clearer that in a Premier League managerial cast list including such luminaries as Mourinho, Guardiola, Klopp and Wenger, Conte deserves to be mentioned in the same breath.
His achievements with Juventus were the passport in, but Conte looks to have already won the respect of his Chelsea players, who are putting it all in for the Italian.
Always an animated figure on the touchline, time will give the him the English to better express his ideas and views to both the squad and the media. In the meantime, he isn’t doing too bad.

Revealed: What really causes you to snore and feel sleepy during the day

www.mirror.co.uk

Snoring can be annoying but researchers have found it can be caused by traffic pollution
Pollution could be to blame for heavy snoring and sleepiness during the day, scientists have found.
A study of 12,000 people found that those exposed to traffic pollution were more likely to snore and more likely to be sleepy in the daytime.
Heavy snoring was more likely to affect men and sleepiness more likely to affect women.
Researchers believe that toxic engine fumes and noise from busy roads disrupts people’s sleeping habits, the Sunday Times reported.
Epidemiologist at Bergen University in Norway, Ane Johannessen, who worked on the study, said: “We know that people exposed to cigarette smoking are more likely to snore.
Getty Heavy snoring is more likely to affect men
“So we wondered if the toxins from traffic pollution might also be linked to snoring.”
She added: “It is likely that air pollution can cause snoring through airway inflammation...
“One could speculate whether women who have husbands who snore experience more daytime sleepiness but the key is understanding the impact of pollution.”
Getty Fumes from traffic could impact on snoring and sleepiness
Professor Stephen Holgate, science council chairman of the European Respiratory Society, where the findings will be presented this week has called on the government to bring in a “Clean Air Act”.
He said living near a busy road is about as bad for lungs as smoking 10 cigarettes per day.

Tributes have been pouring in for beloved actor Gene Wilder after he sadly passed away aged 83 from complications due to Alzheimer’s disease.
Among those paying their respects, were some of his former Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory cast mates.
Julie Dawn Cole, who played spoilt little girl Veruca Salt, spoke of her shock at his death, saying: “We knew he was getting older and becoming frail, but it’s still a shock. You expect Mr Wonker to go on forever. He was a lovely, lovely man - very warm, gentle and sincere.
“He would have the kids bouncing around all over him and he never said to go away or anything. He was kind and friendly - we were like one big family.”
But what are Julie and the rest of the cast of the 1971 film up to now?
Charlie Bucket
Today.com Peter Ostrum played Charlie Buckett
Charlie is now 58-years-old. Well, actor Peter Ostrum, who portrayed the wide-eyed Gold Ticket winner is.
After becoming a household name when this film hit cinemas, the star ditched Hollywood to become a veterinarian. However, he admitted he still has "fond memories" from his time on the big screen.
Veruca Salt
Today.com Julie Dawn Cole played Veruca Salt
Who could forget Hollywood's most famous fictional brat Veruca? Fortunately, Julie Dawn Cole, who played the spoilt child, doesn't seem to be anything like her notorious character. However, she enjoyed embracing her inner bad girl for the role. The 58-year-old said: "Usually your parents are telling you, 'Don't do this. Don't do that.' And we had Mel Stuart, our director, saying, 'Be meaner!'"
Mike TeeVee
Today.com Paris Themmen played Mike Teevee
Paris Themmen, who played Mike TeeVee, may be all grown up but he's still regularly in touch with his old cast mates. In fact, the 57-year-old has described the original cast members as "family". So there's little wonder why he's up for making a sequel.
Violet Beauregarde
Today.com Denise Nickerson played Violet Beauregarde
At 59-year-old's, actress Denise Nickerson still has a soft spot for chewing gum all day like her violet childhood alter-ego Violet. But that 44-year habit hasn't been welcomed by her teeth. According to the actress, she had 13 cavities after filming Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory. Dread to think how many she has now!
Augustus Gloop
Today.com Michael Bollner played Augustus Gloop
Ever wondered what it'd be like to swim in a chocolate river like Augustus? Well, actor Michael Bollner knows al about it... Or does he? Sorry to burst anyone's bubble but the famous sugary water in the factory was apparently fake. "It was water," Michael has admitted four decades on.
Oompa Loompas
Today.com Rusty Goffe played an Oompa Loompa
There were dozens of Oompa Loompas int he 1971 classic but Rusty Goffe was one of the most memorable. The 67-year-old is now barley recognisable. Mostly because he's ditched the green hair and orange skin! While he's still working, the star admitted that reuniting with his former cast mates was "scary". He explained: "When we made the movie, they were kids!"

Stephen Bear has shockingly claimed he cheated on Lillie Lexie Gregg with his CBB housemate Chloe Khan to save her from heartache.
Say WHAT?
The star- who was crowned the winner on Friday - dumped Lillie on national television after locking lips with fellow housemate Chloe and bizarrely claimed he did it for her own good.
When host Emma Willis asked him why he couldn't wait until he left the house to break up with Lillie, Stephen claimed he was trying to prevent her from getting hurt like his last girlfriend.
Channel 5 Bear was shameless
Channel 5 It started so well
Emma continued to grill Bear, saying: "Couldn't you have waited after the show to break up with Lillie?" but he refused to take it the
question seriously and only replied with: "Couldn't you have worn a red dress?"
Bear also claimed he knew all along he was going to win and insisted he brought positivity to the house, despite numerous clashes with his fellow housemates.

He said: "Honestly, I knew I was going to win. As people get to know me, why wouldn't they vote for me. It's all about a positive mental attitude and I knew I would win.
Ian West/PA Wire. Stephen Bear was victorious
"I was as fun as possible and as positive as possible. I never bitched about anyone in there. I think I'm a good diffuser of situations."
During his exit interview, former EastEnders actor Ricky Norwood - who placed second - admitted he had changed his opinion on Bear after Lillie came into the house to confront him.
He explained: "The biggest thing was when his ex Lillie came in. As soon as she came in, all his defences broke. I saw a man in pain and
in anguish and I felt like I had seen the real Bear for the first time.

Channel 5 Ricky Norwood is out!
"He's the most unpredictable guy I've ever met in my life."
And Ricky revealed he was shocked to make it to the final, because he thought he would have been voted out much earlier.
He said: "I thought I was going to be out last week so to come in second makes no sense. I'm so glad that I made it this far, it's been a great journey.
"It was super difficult in there at times. To be in a nuthouse, as I've called it, put a lot of pressure on me. Watching the show is one thing and being on it is another."

Usain Bolt learns to ride motorbike in London following 'triple triple' Olympic glory

Usain Bolt is already the fastest man in the world on two legs - now he's learning to stay upright on two wheels.
The Jamaican has been pictured receiving lessons on how to ride a motorbike in London while visiting the UK following his achievements in Rio.
Bolt won gold in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m events for the third successive Olympics to win the triple triple.
Sponsors and coaches would almost certainly not have let Bolt anywhere near a motorbike before Rio 2016.
But now he has safely secured his place in sporting history he seems to have thrown caution to the wind.
The 30-year-old took it steady as he navigated his way around traffic cones while wearing a hi-vis jacket on his bike, which was fitted with L plates.

Bolt was under huge pressure going into the Rio games as he bid to complete the 'triple triple' and etch his name as an all-time great Olympian.
And he wasted no time in celebrating his historic golds, heading to the UK for a string of nights out in London.
The Jamaican star has enjoyed nights out in the capital with groups of women, inviting many back to his hotel to continue the partying.
Bolt, a Manchester United fan, also joined Liverpool and England striker Daniel Sturridge in London, with the Premier League striker posting a picture of the two of them from his Instagram account.

After crossing the finish line as the anchor in the 4x100m relay, Bolt joked that he would have 'beaten up' his teammates had they not won gold, and admitted his relief at achieving his objective.
“I told the guys that if they didn’t come through for me I’d beat them up!” Bolt joked.
“They really came through for me and I’m happy to have done what I came here to do."

"I am the greatest.

“For me, it’s beautiful. I came through and I’m proud of myself.
"The pressure is real but I look at it as an accomplishment. I enjoy pressure and I live for these moments.
“I won’t celebrate now. I’m just going to go home and stay up late tonight, just talking and having fun.”

Zoheir Maleki admitted two counts of sexual assault while posing as a masseur
A man posing as a masseur groped a female holidaymaker at a Center Parcs resort.
When Zoheir Maleki's victim gasped as he stripped naked, the 33-year-old assured her: "It's OK, I'm a professional."
The woman had allowed Maleki to touch her near a sauna at the Longleat holiday park , believing he was a resident masseur because - although he was only wearing a towel - it had a Center Parks motif on it.
A court heard how he offered her a ten-minute 'complementary massage" and asked her if she had "any problem areas".
She was "completely convinced" he was genuine so, although wearing only a swimming costume, she sat down and he began rubbing her shoulders and then her thighs.
Wessex News The women were at the spa at the Longleat park when they were assaulted
His fingers went between her thighs, but did not touch her genitals, Salisbury Magistrates Court in Wiltshire heard.
He lowered the straps from her shoulders and began rubbing her back, before parting her legs, and at one point, her breast became exposed.
She covered up and took Maleki's hand and put it on his hip.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the towel had gone and he was completely naked, but he told her "It's OK, I'm a professional."
Maleki also tricked a second woman into believing he was a professional masseur at the Center Parks holiday resort at Longleat, near Warminster.
The victim was coming out of the sauna when he approached her and offered a massage, which she accepted.
During the massage, he asked her to remove her bra.
Wessex News Maleki was wearing a towel with the Center Parcs livery
Maleki admitted two counts of sexual assault and Judge Simon Cooper adjourned the case for a pre-sentence report.
Michael Jones, defending, said Maleki had been going through "a rather acrimonious divorce" and had drunk alcohol and smoked cannabis before entering the sauna room.
"His inhibitions and thought processes were somewhat relaxed" Mr Jones said, adding that his client accepted he had "over-stepped the mark".
Maleki, said to be taking anti-depressants and battling anxiety, had "massaged friends in the past", the court heard.
The judge said: "It is a serious matter and I have to consider the risk of sexual harm to the public.
"There was a degree of planning and potentially an abuse of trust.
"The livery of Center Parcs was used to fool people into exposing themselves."
Wessex News Maleki had drunk alcohol and smoked cannabis before entering the sauna room
Maleki, of Roman Road, Southampton, was released on conditional bail to appear for sentencing on September 9th.
The judge warned him that prison "could not be ruled out".
Thousands of families stay at the Center Parcs resort on the Longleat stately home estate every year, enjoying a wide range of activities including swimming, saunas and bike riding.

Talking Tottenham A look at Spurs It’s pretty much the first-choice Spurs XI, minus the injured skipper Hugo Lloris in goal, and perhaps Mousa Dembele, currently serving a suspension. That means Michel Vorm is in goal, behind first choice defence of Kyle Walker, Danny Rose and Belgian central defensive pair, Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld. Victor Wanyama and Eric Dier will protect the backline, with Erik Lamela, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli given freedom behind Harry Kane. Vincent Janssen, the £16million striker, is only a substitute, along with Son Heung-Min, this week linked with a return to Germany. Harry Winks and Josh Onomah are also on the bench, chosen ahead of Ryan Mason and Nacer Chadli - who both seemingly no longer fit in Pochettino’s long term plans. Ashley Carter-Vickers, the young centre-back, is also a substitute, chosen ahead of Kevin Wimmer, who is not injured. REUTERS

Who will make Jurgen Klopp’s XI? Will Daniel Sturridge, only a substitute in the midweek win over Burton (although he did come off the bench to score twice)? And how about Philippe Coutinho? How fit is the Brazilian playmaker? We’ll soon find out. Team news coming up shortly.
Arrivals! tweet The Spurs boys are We’ve got some arrivals at White Hart Lane. Led by Christian Eriksen, the Lilywhites are on the scene. Will Pochettino’s boys be on for three points here today?
Staying Klopp rubbishes Henderson speculation Jurgen Klopp has dispelled any questions about the future of Jordan Henderson by insisting: “If I had any doubt, he wouldn’t be here.” The Liverpool skipper endured a miserable season of injury last year, which threw his Anfield career under a harsh spotlight. Amid claims of Spurs interest, there were strong suggestions that Reds boss Klopp was not impressed with his form and fitness, and may be prepared to sell him. “I see him every day in training so if I was doubting him he would not be here,” said Klopp emphatically. “I like this player and he is very important for this club. There is absolutely no doubt.”
Attack! Mauricio Pochettino wary of Liverpool's speed demons Mauricio Pochettino has warned his Spurs players to beware Liverpool - the counter-attackers who can score from anywhere. Spurs had the joint-best defensive record last season and are up against the highest Premier League scorers of the 2016 calendar year. Despite their stuttering start, Jurgen Klopp’s men hit four in winning at Arsenal and five in recapturing their form in the League Cup at Burton in midweek. They were also 4-0 winners over Barcelona earlier this month in pre-season. Pochettino said: “They are a team that likes to play on the counter-attack. “They are very comfortable playing deeper and running fast. You could see in the game against Barcelona at Wembley - 4-0 for them. “They wait and when they recover the ball, players like Lallana, Origi, Coutinho, Wynaldum, Mane, they are very fast. They like to play in this style. I think we are very different. “We are trying to work on our players’ fitness and consistency which is so hard after the short break they’ve had following the Euros.”

Fitbit releases first 'swim-proof' fitness tracker and jewellery range
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Fitbit has released its first "swim-proof" fitness tracker, the Flex 2, so you can now track your laps, duration and calories burned while in the pool.
The Flex 2 is the successor to popular Flex wristband, which launched in May 2013.
Unlike some of Fitbit's other trackers, it has no screen, and conveys information to the wearer using LED lights and vibrations.
The Flex 2 is 30% smaller than the original Flex and tracks movement 24 hours a day, including the number of steps walked, workouts, and sleep patterns.
Fitbit Fitbit Flex 2 is water resistant to a depth of 50m
It features a removable tracker and interchangeable rubber fitness bands in seven colours, and is water resistant up to a depth of 50 metres, so you can wear it in the shower, the pool or the sea.
The Flex 2 features Fitbit's SmartTrack technology, which automatically recognises certain activities such as walking, running, riding - and now swimming.
The LED display uses colour-coded lights to show your progress towards your daily goal, and alert you to calls and texts on your smartphone.
You can use the Fitbit app on your smartphone to set hourly reminders to move, and personalised weekly exercise goals.
Track your activity using the Fitbit app
"Flex quickly became the best-selling tracker on the market as one of the first wearables to successfully merge fitness and fashion," said James Park, co-founder and CEO of Fitbit.

Hans Peter Doskizil claims the chancellor's "open door" approach to refugees is encouraging migrants from other countries who just want to relocate to Europe

'Austria is not Germany's migrant waiting room' warns Vienna as Merkel's 'open door' policy raises EU Auxit fears
| null | null |

Migrants are seen queueing at a temporary shelter for refugees in the Austrian city of Kufstein
Austria's defence minister has said the country is "not a waiting room for Germany" in his latest attack against Angela Merkel's 'open door' refugee policy.
Hans Peter Doskizil claims the chancellor's "welcoming" stance on refugees fleeing war torn parts of the Middle East is encouraging migrants from other countries who just want to relocate to Europe.
He said Merkel's famous “we can do it” approach to the refugee crisis is “irresponsible” and is leading to his country seeing a huge influx of migrants.
Doskizil has accused EU superpowers of “burying their head in the sand” over the issue and has called for a "summit on deportation" to negotiate how to send the migrants back to their home countries.
More than one million refugees flocked to Germany last year, with many people welcoming them with open arms as residents held up "Refugees Welcome" banners for their arrival to the country.

But attitudes have taken a sharp turn since reports of the mass sex attacks in Cologne on New Year's Eve and a Syrian migrant blowing himself up at a music festival near Ansbach.
Doskizil said: "It is a mystery to me, why the right lessons have not been drawn from the events in 2015.
“The ‘we can do it’ policy is irresponsible and counterproductive as it harms Europe as a whole, including Austria.
“Austria is not a waiting room for Germany.”
There have been more than 100,000 arrivals registered in Austria since the beginning of the year, according to the country's Defense Ministry experts.

But the majority of applicants are not coming from war-torn Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan, but from African countries with no active warfare, according to RT.com
Some 20 percent of the asylum seekers stem from Nigeria, 12 percent from Eritrea, and 7 percent are made up of people from Gambia, Côte d’Ivoire, Sudan and Guinea.
Doskozil also attacked Merkel's "we can do it" mantra to the refugee crisis, which has seen her popularity nose-dive in the polls as a YouGov poll found this month that 66 per cent of German's disagreed with the chancellor's approach.
Mr Doskozil added: “If there are tents for refugees at the heart of Milan (in Italy), no one can claim that we control the influx of migrants reasonably.
"It is obvious that Chancellor Merkel's “We can do it!” policy only encourages migrants to come.”

"It is not a policy, if Europe stays here in agony and sticks its head in the sand."
Doskozil - who was the head of Burgenland police when the region became an epicentre of the refugee crisis last year - was speaking almost a year to the day that 71 refugees were found dead in the back of a truck in Austria.
The disaster shocked Europe and led countries to open their borders to a massive influx of people fleeing war and poverty, mainly from the Middle East.
But now the shutters go down again, leading to a sharp drop in arrivals.
The European Union has since struck a controversial deal with Turkey to keep migrants from reaching Greece - the main entry point into the bloc, along with Italy.
The defence minister dismissed the plan, which would see the country take back immigrants in exchange for £2.5bn in aid, visa-free European travel for Turks and accelerated talks over EU membership.
But referring to the recent bungled military coup to overthrow President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Doskozil said: "The Turkish government is no longer to be taken seriously by the recent events, events and interventions yet.
"From a visa liberalization with Turkey we are far away, because Turkey is far from European standards."

Mystery of famous painting 'The Scream' solved as scientists reveal what REALLY caused strange white smudge
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

The earliest version of Edvad Munch's The Scream is the most renowned - but features a white stain
It's one of the world's most famous paintings.
Edvard Munch's expressionist masterpiece 'The Scream' features a tortured figure, frozen in time with a blazing orange skyline behind.
The artist painted four versions between 1893 and 1910, but the most renowned is that found in the Norwegian National Museum.
It is not only the earliest version, it also differs from the others in that it features a mysterious white smudge near to the central figure's right shoulder.
For more than 100 years, the most common theory was that the haunting image was soiled by a bird dropping.
The University of Antwerp It had been assumed the white smudge was caused by a bird dropping
Mystery 180-ft wide 'Nazi crop circle' appears overnight in Wiltshire field sparking alien fears from conspiracy theorists
Photographs from the late 19th Century show Munch often worked outside in the snow, keeping his paintings barely sheltered by a wooden shed.
Another was that Munch, or someone else, simply dropped a splash of white paint by accident.
But following painstaking research, a team of scientists led by Dr Geert Van der Snickt of the University of Antwerp have uncovered the truth.
The white smudge was caused by wax, probably dripped from a candle in Munch's studio onto the painting.
The University of Antwerp The painting is scanned by a specialised X-ray machine developed by the University of Antwerp
The researchers analysed The Scream using a machine they developed themselves called a 'Macro X-ray fluorescence scanner'.
It has previously been used to settle disputes over works of art by the likes of Van Eyck, Rubens and Van Gogh.
Does this drawing show 'Beast of Dartmoor' on loose in the English countryside?
The scans immediately ruled out paint as no pigments or calcium was detected.
The team then took a micro sample of the white spot and sent it for analysis in Hamburg.
The University of Antwerp Scans ruled out the possibility the smudge was caused by white paint
PhD student Frederik Vanmeert said: "I immediately recognised the diffraction pattern of wax as I encountered this material several times upon measuring paintings."
In the past, artists often used bees wax or a similar material on fragile paintings to stop paint from flaking or to attach a new canvas to the back of a degraded old one.
But in the case of The Scream, it is more likely that the white spots are in fact splatters of molten wax that accidentally dripped from a candle in Munch's studio.
"Bird droppings can pose a significant threat for monuments, outdoor statues ... and brand new cars", said Dr Van der Snickt.
"But I did not associate it with easel paintings, and certainly not with quintessential masterpieces that are valued over 100 million dollars.
University of Antwerp Prof. Tine Frøysaker, Dr. Geert Van der Snickt and Thierry Ford who worked on the project
"This somewhat unexpected substance illustrates why the interface of art and science keeps me spellbound.
"Solving the mystery of the bird droppings on the Scream also demonstrates why our discipline has much equipment in common with forensic experts.
"Like forensics, the field of cultural heritage science is characterised by a rapid introduction of improved, state-of-the-art techniques and this allows us bringing to light completely new information on iconic works of art, even though they have been under the magnifying glass of researchers for decades."

Owen Smith says Labour's pro-immigration fight is worth losing votes to Ukip
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Owen Smith has said it is worth losing votes to Ukip for the sake of standing up for immigration.
The Labour leadership challenger today admitted fighting for migrants' rights may cause "electoral damage" - but said it was right.
"I think even if there was some electoral damage, we should be clear about it," he told The Independent.
“There have been moments when Labour has sent mixed messages about this and I think the time has come to be absolutely clear about it."
Only last month Mr Smith said immigration had "definitely caused downward pressure on wages" that the government should "mitigate" with extra funding.
Jack Taylor ... And vote-hungry Nigel Farage pictured on his
Asked whether there were too many migrants living in Britain he told the BBC's Newsnight: "I think it depends where you are is the truth."
Jeremy Corbyn has repeatedly blamed Tory austerity and not large-scale migration for Britain's economic woes.
Today Mr Smith, who has also lauded the "great British tradition" of taking in refugees, added: "We've had a really ugly debate about immigration in Britain.
"Crucially I think Labour, which is the party that always has to speak to the best of people's value and always has to speak for decency in Britain and tolerance and diversity, needs to be much more straight forward about our views on immigration."
Adam Gerrard/Daily Mirror Ex-minister and Tory Anna Soubry said the UK should recognise the benefits of immigration
His comments emerged as Tory MP Anna Soubry came out fighting for immigration after Theresa May ditched her as a business minister.
Ms Soubry said there should be no limits to EU immigration at all - and the UK should get access to single market "free of tariffs or customs duties".
"British business would be absolutely stumped without a pool, a great pool, of migrant labour" she told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"We're in great danger of just assuming that as a result of that [ Brexit ] vote people said we want to have more curbs and reduction in immigration."
But Brexit -backing Tory ex-chancellor Lord Lawson said a UK-EU deal was a "waste of time" and a "will-o'-the-wisp... which they will never give us".
PA Just 12% of Labour members say Owen Smith would lead them to a general election win
Mr Smith also told the Independent Mr Corbyn is a "featherweight" against the Tories despite "setting the tone" of Labour's campaigns.
And he hit back over criticism over his past job for pharma giant Pfizer, saying: "For Jeremy to try and use my having worked in the private sector against me is illustrative of his inability to reach out... because he is writing off more than half the British population."
Despite the comments a thumping YouGov poll of 1,236 Labour members, union affiliates and registered supporters last night gave Mr Corbyn a 24-point lead.
Just 12% of those questioned said Mr Smith would lead Labour to a general election victory.
However, just 33% said the same about Mr Corbyn.

A family has been left with fresh heartache after a sick four-year-old boy's body rejected life-saving cancer-killing treatment in America.
Little Kian Musgrove flew back out to New York at the weekend as US medics desperately try to find a way of saving the youngster.
The news has come as a massive blow after Kian and mum Kat Driscoll only returned from America days ago.
The money for the family’s travel came from music mogul Cowell, who was moved by Kian’s fight against killer childhood cancer, neuroblastoma, Chronicle Live reports.
With the help of people from across the North East and beyond, hundreds of thousand of pounds was raised to send the youngster across the Atlantic
Kian managed to get discharged from the Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre on Sunday, before enjoying visiting Central Park for some much needed playtime.
Chronicle Live With his mum, uncle John and sister Katie
Medics at Centre are hoping to prevent the neuroblastoma - which has an 80% chance of returning - threatening Kian’s life for a third time.
Kat, 28, said: “After we landed back in Newcastle, I was waiting for some test results to come through on email. When I didn’t hear anything, I rang America and they told me the news.
“I couldn’t believe it. My head is just in bits.”
The results show that Kian’s immune system is rejecting some of the medication he is being given as part of US medics’ efforts to kill off the cancer which has attacked his little body, almost claiming his life twice.
Kian suffers from neuroblastoma - a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer which has an 80% chance of returning.
People from across the North East, UK and rest of the world have helped raise more than £600,000 towards the pioneering treatment which Kian is now undergoing in New York.

But the latest blow to the Newbiggin Hall youngster means more money - and more treatment - is going to be needed if his life is going to be saved.
“I really don’t know what’s going to happen,” added Kat. “His body is fighting off the treatment.
“They are going to need to give him a scan and three different types of chemotherapy which means more money.”
Getty Simon Cowell funded his travel to the US
The family flew back out to New York on Sunday and Kian will begin further treatment on Monday.
Kian started undergoing the treatment, at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre, last month.
The family have been able to afford the pioneering medication thanks to the generosity of fundraisers, including music mogul Simon Cowell, who is paying for all travel and accommodation expenses.
Kat, who also has a daughter - six-year-old Katie - is now praying that the American doctors can find a solution.
Kian was first diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma in October 2013.
The illness attacked his nerve cells around the kidneys on an adrenal gland where a tumour had developed. It then travelled around his body and spread to his bones and across his pelvis.
After treatment to kill off the disease, the cancer returned last December.
Kat added: “I’ve had no sleep the past few days just through worry.”

Cesc Fabregas has been linked with a move away from Chelsea this summer
This transfer window has been as hectic as any in recent memory.
The long drawn out moves of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba to Manchester United, as well as John Stones' £47.5million switch from Everton to Manchester City, have been the biggest football stories of the summer in England.
Meanwhile, in Europe we've seen Gonzalo Higuain join Juventus from Napoli for £75million, as he replaced Alvaro Morata in Turin following the Spaniard's return to Real Madrid.
We are likely to see a couple more big money transfers before the window closes
Could Arsene Wenger FINALLY sign a striker? Will Cesc Fabregas leave Chelsea? Well, we don't know the answers to those questions, but we do have this nifty informational, kindly put together by the Birmingham Mail, which tells you all you need to know about when the transfer window closes.
John Peters/Man Utd via Getty Images Manchester United broke the world transfer record when they signed Paul Pogba for £89million
REUTERS John Stones completed a £47.5million move to Manchester City from Everton
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.
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.
Mike Hewitt Juventus signed Gonzalo Higuain for £75million
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.
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.

Pagham siege: 40-hour armed stand-off with police ends peacefully after 'terminally ill' gunman, 72, surrenders

Mr Bridger, 72, is believed to be terminally ill with cancer
A dramatic 40-hour stand-off between an armed pensioner and police ended this morning when the man finally surrendered.
The 72-year-old suspected gunman, named locally as Terry Bridger, had threatened to set the property alight after police responding to reports of threatening behaviour surrounded his home on Sunday.
Following nearly two days of negotiations the pensioner finally agreed to leave the house in Pagham, West Sussex, at 8.40am.
A neighbour said his wife Dawn was spotted at the scene and had waved at Mr Bridger through a window.
He has been arrested on suspicion of threats to kill and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life at his home.
Sussex Police’s Acting Assistant Chief Constable, Steve Whitton, said: “This was a long, complex and challenging negotiation, but I am delighted to say that it has ended peacefully and safely as this was always our absolute priority.”
PA Locals were advised to stay in their homes as armed police responded to the 40-hour incident
The pensioner is said to be terminally ill with cancer, according to locals.
Neighbours were advised to stay in their homes while police negotiated with the gunman.
Semi-retired interior designer Alistair Black, 77, who has lived there for 14 years, said: “We found out at about 6pm Sunday when we were about to leave the house and the police ushered us back inside.
“I’ve seen the couple around who live at that house but I don’t know them. There’s nothing unusual about them from what I’ve seen, they are just an elderly couple.
“I think they’ve lived here since before we moved in.
“We have been told to stay indoors. They are trying to coax him out.
“I think it is sad but it’s not a dangerous situation for us or anything.
“I’ve seen about 18 officers, including about five armed police, and around 12 cars.”

Will Sergio Aguero be banned for the Manchester derby? How the FA's disciplinary process works

Sergio Aguero faces an anxious wait to see if he will miss the Manchester derby through suspension.
The Manchester City star was caught on camera appearing to catch defender Winston Reid with his elbow during the 3-1 home win over West Ham on Sunday.
Should be charged Aguero would likely be handed a three-match ban which would see him miss the clash with rivals United on September 10.
But how will it be decided whether Aguero will be charged though, and what is the process behind it?
The Manchester Evening News take a closer look at what the FA guidelines are, according to a video they released at the start of last season.
Can the FA charge Aguero retrospectively?
"The FA has the power to take retrospective action for certain incidents that are not seen by the match officials , particularly where evidence is caught on camera.
"Action may also be taken where one of the match officials saw part of an incident, for example if an act of misconduct took that could not have been seen by the match official as their view was blocked.

What happens next?
"When an incident is brought to the FA's attention, the referee is asked whether they or any of the other officials saw the incident.
"If they confirm they did see the incident, then in most cases no further action is taken. However, if the officials confirm they did not see the incident then it becomes subject to further review .
Sky Sports Aguero could be retrospectively banned
Who will decide whether to ban Aguero?
"In the professional game, incidents are referred to a three-person expert panel of former referees who give their view of whether the incident merited a dismissal.
" If they all think it did, the case goes forward for consideration by a regulatory commission . The player will have the opportunity to put their side to the commission in writing, and provide any video footage of the incident that they want the commission to consider.
Action Images via Reuters Guardiola didn't see the incident
" If the commission agrees that the player committed a dismissal offence, the player will be suspended for the appropriate number of matches as if it had been seen at the time and dealt with by a dismissal.
"At other levels of the game, the procedure is the same except that the match referee - rather than the panel - is asked whether they would have dismissed the player had they seen the incident.
"All cases are heard before the player's next match."

Only becoming a father tops making Sam Allardyce's first Three Lions squad for West Ham ace who has taken eight years to rise through the ranks from non-League

England new boy Michail Antonio says call-up was the second most emotional moment of his life
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Antonio told the story of his career when he met the England media on Tuesday
Michail Antonio came close to tears for just the second time in his adult life – after going from seventh choice at West Ham to the England squad.
Wideman Antonio initially struggled so badly to make an impact after joining the Hammers last summer that even his own chairman forgot who he was.
David Gold was tricked into retweeting a photo of a ‘missing’ West Ham fan who was, in fact, Antonio.
Manager Slaven Bilic eventually located Antonio when the Londoners were hit by an injury crisis, finally handed him a first start in December.
And the 26-year-old has not looked back since, cementing his place in the West Ham side and forcing his way into Sam Allardyce’s first Three Lions selection .
The FA via Getty Jamica wanted Antonio but he turned them down to keep his England dreams alive
Antonio, 26, said: “The first time I cried was when I had my baby boy (Michail Jnr) and this second time I welled up and thought I was going to cry and had to take a moment to control myself.
“At West Ham it was just those players were ahead of me and it took six players to get injured for me to get my opportunity.”
Antonio snubbed a move to Tottenham on his mum’s advice at 14 because of the daily commute from south to north London that would be required.
The 26-year-old started with Tooting & Mitcham and Reading before West Ham signed him from Forest
But when he failed to secure a subsequent move to a professional club - partly, he thinks, because he was a late developer and just 5ft 5in tall until 16 - Antonio considered giving up on making it as a footballer.
He finally got his big break in 2008 after joining Reading from non-League Tooting & Mitcham, where his Jamie Vardy-style rise to the top began.
The man who had further spells at Cheltenham, Southampton, Colchester, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest said: “Vardy is a massive inspiration.
"That was one of the reasons why I turned down Jamaica (in March) because I thought ‘I’m not too old’.
Getty The likes of Vardy, Rickie Lambert and Ian Wright have been inspirations for Antonio
“Jamie Vardy - he’s come through everything I have done and he’s been called up at 28.
“Rickie Lambert — age of 30 when he got his first cap. Ian Wright — he came through non-League and I think he turned professional when he was 23 and was called up for England when he was 26.
“All these people were at the back of mind and I was thinking – if these guys can do it, why can’t I?”

Coronation Street viewers blast ITV soap for 'racist' comment by Eva Price
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

In the episode Eva, who is played by Catherine Tyldesley, visits Audrey’s hair salon and comments: 'I have more roots than Kunta Kinte.'
Soap viewers have accused Coronation Street of being ‘racist’ after a character said her hair resembled ‘Kunta Kinte’.
The episode, which was screened on ITV on Bank Holiday Monday, featured a scene involving the characters of Eva Price and Audrey Roberts.
The creators of the soap have since apologised to soap viewers who found the phrase offensive.
In the episode Eva, who is played by Catherine Tyldesley, visits Audrey’s hair salon and comments: “I have more roots than Kunta Kinte.
"No idea who that is, by the way, just something my mum used to say.”
Kunta Kinte was a character who featured in the novel Roots and was based on one of the author’s ancestors who was enslaved in Gambia then taken to America.
Following the Corrie episode’s screening, dozens of viewers posted messages on the official Coronation Street Facebook page complaining about the use of the phrase.
The offensive scene involved the characters of Eva Price and Audrey Roberts
Aaron Moffat-Jackman, a trainee vicar from Old Trafford, told the Manchester Evening News: “What it did was trivialise a horrific traumatic time for many people.
"Particularly at a time when things are ongoing in America, with many black people getting killed by police, by white people. I think it would be very welcome for ITV to apologise.”
Another viewer tweeted: “Yo @ITV So what’s up with the cultural insensitivity on #Coronationstreet? “I got more Roots than Kunta Kinte” That’s kinda racist.”
Kenroy Brown wrote on Facebook: “Considering how long this show has been in existence, how times have changed and the fact that this show has won TV awards, how did these offensive words get past all the people that should have been aware of their historical content?
“Or maybe I’m giving you too much credit in thinking this was an oversight on someone’s part?
“If this was a Jewish, Muslim, LGBTG, or any other type of ‘joke’ there would’ve been uproar but once again as the intended target was BLACK PEOPLE it’s no big deal?
“You have millions of viewers who watch your show religiously and I do not think this was even close to being acceptable and was very insensitive.”
Dan Weatherman posted: “I would like to voice my absolute disgust at references made to Kunta Kinte on the 29/08/2016.
“I find the comment made extremely offensive given the connections to slavery and completely out of place for national TV or any place.”
Kunta Kinte was a character who featured in the novel Roots and was based on one of the author’s ancestors who was enslaved in Gambia then taken to America
Another comment on a Coronation Street blog said: “This Kunta Kinte comment was way, way, way inappropriate and very very offensive to black viewers.
"It was unnecessary and not relevant to the storyline what so ever so many other things could have been written instead such as I have more roots then a tree or something related to having roots rather then a slave “joke” mocking the horrific history of black people and the brutality and injustice that still happens today.”
A spokeswoman for ITV said: “We apologise if this dialogue has caused offence.”

Hurricane Gaston is set to hit Britain after travelling across the Atlantic from the United States - bringing with it chaotic 90mph winds.
Weather experts at the US National Hurricane Centre in Miami say the hurricane has formed off the coast in Florida.
But it is expected to head northeastwards, across the sea to the UK.
By the time it reaches Britain, it is forecast that it will weaken and generate winds of 70mph.
Independent weather forecast provider MeteoGroup said: "Hurricane Gaston is the latest hurricane to develop in the Atlantic and has reached its peak with gusts up to 85 to 90mph, although this system is expected to slowly weaken and track north-westwards.

A grandmother caught in a terrifying crush at a football match has praised Manchester United star Marouane Fellaini for rescuing her, calling him her 'hero'.
Gale Allen, 59, from Stretford, near Manchester, was trapped against an advertising board during goal celebrations at the KCom Stadium on Saturday.
The injury-time strike against Hull by 18-year-old Marcus Rashford sent United fans wild, with many spilling onto the pitch as the board collapsed.
In extraordinary scenes, Fellaini, 28, was seen rushing to Gale's aid after noticing she was caught in the melee and crying out in distress.

Now, the supporter - who was pulled from the scrum - has paid tribute to the Belgian midfielder, saying he heroically saved her from 'being crushed'.
Referring to the Mirror's article on the incident, she said: "I was simply celebrating when the hoarding collapsed with others on top of me.
"I was being crushed. Fellaini came to my rescue - my hero."
Gale, who lives with her husband Bill in Stretford, was pictured being rescued by Fellaini as she struggled to breathe after Rashford's late winner.
Dressed in a pink hooded top, she could be seen crying out, with a pained expression on her face, as she was crushed against the board.

In April an inquest reached a verdict that those who died in the 1989 tragedy were unlawfully killed. The jury heard two years of evidence before retiring.

Widower refused bereavement payment by cruel benefits chiefs after keeping wife alive to donate organs

Alison Shaw, 63, was kept on a life support machine to donate her organs after suffering a brain haemorrhage
A widower has been refused a bereavement payment by benefits chiefs after he kept his wife alive to donate her organs.
Alison Shaw suffered a devastating brain haemorrhage and her family made the decision to extend her life and honour her wish of helping others as they prepared for donor surgery.
But they didn't realise that 63-year-old gran would become eligible for her pension on the same day she was taken off a life support machine, the Daily Record reports.
Department for Work and Pensions chiefs are refusing to pay out the £2,000 Alison’s widower Isaac, 65, would have received had she been taken off life support 24 hours earlier.
The family, from Lennoxtown, Dunbartonshire, say the system is denying the people who need support most.
Alison’s daughter Karen Vogan, 32, said: “It’s just such an incredible set of circumstances.
“If my mum had not donated her organs and passed away 24 hours before, dad would have been eligible.
“My mum worked for many years and my dad has paid into the system all his days.
“They are the most wonderful people you could meet and this is their repayment.”
Mum-of-one Alison, who doted on her two-year-old granddaughter Holly and had another grandchild on the way, died at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, in Glasgow on July 6, three days after suffering a catastrophic haemorrhage.
The family knew hours after her collapse that nothing could be done to save her.
But knowing Alison would have liked to donate her organs to help others, her family kept her on breathing apparatus while the arrangements were made.
Karen said: “Mum took ill and suffered the haemorrhage on the Sunday night and she never regained consciousness. Technically, to us, she died then but she was being kept alive by a machine.
“We spoke to the organ donation people on the Monday and they started the process.
The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow, where Alison passed away
“In order to do the organ donation, they had to set everything up and see who was on the list that needed help.
“The doctors were going to remove her breathing tube and said it could be a matter of minutes or 24 hours but it would happen.
“On Tuesday afternoon, they set a time to remove her breathing tube. They picked a time in the early hours of the morning which they anticipate is most suitable to tie in with surgery.”
The decision was made to take Alison off life support at 3am on July 6 and she died at 7pm that day.
It was only when plans were being made for her funeral that the family learned retired joiner Isaac may be entitled to a bereavement payment from the DWP, who are headed by Tory minister Damian Green.
Karen said: “It was the undertaker who had told us my mum may be eligible for the payment. We didn’t know anything about it.
“The website gave a list of criteria and it all seemed straightforward.
“We understood my dad was eligible because my mum, who had been a typist, had been on incapacity benefit after suffering from bad anxiety. Based on my dad’s National Insurance contributions, he should have been entitled to this payment.
“When we phoned up, we were told that on the exact date my mum passed away, she became eligible for her pension and received a £20 payment, meaning he was ineligible.”
The family said they were given different accounts of the decision in various phone calls to the DWP.
Then a senior advisor called and confirmed Alison’s pension coming into effect on the date of her death was the issue.
Karen said: “They had both just retired and were looking forward to spending it together and had lots of plans for their future.
“We had no idea her pension was due to come into effect that day.
“My mum’s birthday was April but you actually become eligible so many months and days later.
“We were just trying to do something good for her in the end.”
The DWP said bereavement payments provide additional support if a claimant’s husband, wife or civil partner were either under state pension age when they died or over state pension age but their partner isn’t entitled to a state pension based on their own National Insurance contributions.
A spokesman for the DWP confirmed that Isaac’s application had been refused.
He said: “Our thoughts are with Mrs Shaw’s family at this difficult time.
“We have been in contact with them to explain the situation and how they can appeal the decision if they so choose.”

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.
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.

While Arsenal were delighted to finally get their first win of the season under their belt, Wenger didn't miss a chance to complain about his side not being ready for the season to start.
"We paid a heavy price in our first game [the 4-3 defeat to Liverpool] because we were not ready, we had not the players back at home.
"Now Mesut is nearly there, not completely, but he just goes again. For us, the break is not welcome."

People come from all over the world to have a chance at pop stardom on the X Factor , and on Sunday night's episode there was a very special hopeful.
Hailing from the same small area of Finland where Santa Claus lives, Saara Aalto was hoping to get through to the next round by singing Sia's Chandelier.
Although she's entered competitions in her native Finland before, she admitted that she needs the help of X Factor to further her career, but several viewers didn't think it was right for her to enter the UK competition.

One person tweeted: "Don't they have X Factor in Finland?"
Another perhaps small minded viewer said: "She's from Finland, she shouldn't be on a British show".

However, several fans gave her their support and were blown away by her singing voice and rendition of Sia's hit song.
"Her voice gave me chills. She's amazing. Go Finland!" said a fan.

Even judge Nicole Scherzinger was hugely impressed with Saara and gave her a standing ovation once she'd finished singing.
Simon said: "That's how you do it", while Nicole said it was so good it made her want to make her a** clap for her.
The Pussycat Doll added: "You are just the bomb dot com, like, seriously where did you come from? You just painted the most gorgeous picture when you were singing. I feel grateful that i got to witness that."
Obviously, Saara got the green light from all the judges and left the room to a rapturous applause from the other pop wannabes who were watching on the big screen.

Children thank troops for freeing their town from ISIS
Joyous Syrian children rush to embrace Turkish soldiers after their besieged town was liberated from Islamic State extremists .
Special forces, tanks and jets launched the offensive in support of Syrian rebels – mainly Turks and Arabs – who quickly took the Jarablus district of Aleppo.
Infantrymen handed out sweets and food to families who thanked them for bringing months of hell to an end.
The operation, code-named Euphrates Shield, is aimed at clearing terrorist groups from the Turkish border region.
Syria’s beleaguered government, headed by dictator Bashar al-Assad , fiercely condemned the campaign and blasted it as a breach of the country’s sovereignty.

But defiant Turkish PM Binali Yildirim insisted: “From the beginning we have been defending Turkey’s territorial integrity.
“We are also defending Syria’s territorial integrity. The aim of these terrorist organisations is to form a state in these countries. They will never succeed.
“We will continue our operations [in Syria] until we fully guarantee security of life and property for our citizens and the security of our border.
Reuters Smoke rises from the Syrian border town of Jarablus as it is pictured from the Turkish town of Karkamis
“We will continue until Daesh [Islamic State] and other terrorist elements are taken out.”
Turkey, a NATO member and part of the US-led coalition against Islamic State, has been targeted by a series of deadly bombings this year.
But the country also fears Kurdish militias in Syria will seize border territory and embolden insurgents on its own soil.
The military operation has also been met with anger among an alliance of 23 Kurdish parties in Syria.

In a joint statement last week, they called for a complete withdrawal of all Turkish forces from the country and accused the Turkish government of trying to occupy Syria under the pretence of fighting terrorism.
Last week the militant Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, claimed responsibility for a suicide attack that killed 11 people at a police HQ in Cizre, south-east Turkey. President Tayyip Erdogan said further attacks would increase Turkey’s determination as it fights terrorist groups at home and abroad.
Meanwhile, families evacuated from the Syrian town of Daraya have also spoken of their joy as their children were able to taste fresh fruit and vegetables after living on grass and soup during four years of civil war.

At least 4,000 people were escorted out by government forces, who declared they had taken full control.
The Damascus suburb was one of the first to rise up against Assad in 2011 and has been levelled by a fierce campaign.
Rebels agreed to end the onslaught by giving up the area.
US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov have also met in Geneva, Switzerland, to finalise an agreement on fighting Islamist militants in Syria. Such a deal could, in theory, pave the way for a political transition to end the five-year conflict.

Cannibal spiders which feast on flesh are invading homes in the UK thanks to our love of central heating.
In bad news for arachnophobes, the sight of the cannibal Daddy-longlegs hunting for meals in our bathrooms and bedrooms looks set to become an increasingly common site.
The increasingly warm and moist conditions in our homes is sending the numbers of Daddy longlegs soaring.
But experts say the boom is not entirely a bad thing, as the cannibal Daddy-longlegs devour house spiders and other insects.
Invertebrate charity Buglife say the Daddy-longelegs actually keep the number of insects in our homes down overall.

A spokeswoman told the Daily Express : "The beauty of having Pholcids in your home is knowing that they are part of keeping everything in balance.
"While they do feed on house spiders, both types of spiders are essential for keeping down pests in the home.
"Flies, which can transmit gastro-intestinal infections, are kept in check and your house is actually cleaner for allowing spiders to live their peacefully.”
Getty Images The spiders pose no threat to humans or pets
Experts at the British Arachnological Society say the Daddy-longlegs spiders have increased as our central-heated homes are more hospitable for a species that has its origins in the subtropics.
The society added the spiders pose absolutely no risk to humans or pets.

Surrey child abduction: Mystery deepens as police say witness is 'credible' despite no reports of missing youngster

Police probing reports of a young boy being bundled into a van in Surrey insist they are "completely satisfied" they have a "credible witness" – even though they have not received any reports of missing children.
Detective Superintendent Chris Edwards said officers have two theories about what could have happened following a claim that a youngster was abducted in Redhill on Thursday afternoon.
The boy, aged around six or seven and wearing a red T-shirt and navy jeans, was reportedly taken into the side of a black Volkswagen Transporter with an 02 licence plate.
Officers have received 130 tip-offs – but are still unaware of any missing person reports.
PA Superintendent Chris Edwards speaking at a press conference in Redhill
Supt Edwards said: "We're completely satisfied at this stage with the credibility of this witness."
A member of the public alerted police after seeing what appeared to be a child being bundled into a black VW van in Redhill, Surrey on Thursday just before rush hour.
But mystery has surrounded the search- called Operation Bigfoot - as Surrey Police confirmed NO parent has reported a child missing.
Police originally released a CCTV still of a black van and launched a huge search operation to trace the van and the child.

At 7.30am on Friday, police announced they had traced the owner of the van and ruled them out of the investigation.
But Supt Edwards added that police were still looking for a similar style of black VW van with no side writing and sliding side doors.
He said the vehicle has three alloy wheels and a fourth space saving wheel which makes it "quite distinct".
Surrey Police had earlier shared an image of a child's bicycle which was found at the scene at around 5pm but it has now been ruled out that it is connected to the incident.
Supt Edwards said: "In terms of the bicycle that the boy was seen close to and tampering with, we're confident now that that bicycle relates to an unconnected individual and whilst it is still relevant to the investigation we don't believe that it belonged to the boy concerned."
Surrey Police This is the bicycle found near to the scene to the suspected abduction
Asked whether it was being treated as domestic, the police chief said: "We are keeping an open mind.
"We have had officers from across all our teams working on it. We are now bringing in specialist officers.
"I think it is implicit given the circumstances that we have described that the child would be in danger."
An earlier Surrey Police statement today said: "A large police operation involving a significant number of officers and other Police resources has been taking place overnight to trace the van and to establish the identity of the child.
"Reports of this nature involving children are extremely rare which is why we are treating it so seriously.
"At this stage there has been no missing person report received in relation to a child but we continue to treat this incident seriously and will do so until the full circumstances have been established.
Police are still searching for a VW transporter van
"As a result of our enquiries the owner of the van in the CCTV image we released last night has been traced and this particular van has now been ruled out of the investigation.
"However we continue to look for a similar style black VW van with no side writing and sliding side doors.
"It remains extremely important that if you own or know the owner of a vehicle like this which could have been in Redhill yesterday afternoon that you contact police immediately.
"We would also like to speak to anyone who was on Redstone Hill at around 4:30 to 5pm yesterday or anyone who recognises the mountain bike and may have seen who was riding it yesterday afternoon.

"Local residents may be particularly concerned, but we hope our response reassures people how seriously we take any such reports of suspicious behaviour – our officers continue to work on this investigation and we will update on any further developments. "
A police cordon was set up in the area, and officers were seen making enquiries near Redhill station.
Redhill resident Jennifer Hale saw a police cordon in place at the train station at about 6.45pm.
The area has been cordoned off
She said: "I got off the train and I went to go out to the back exit but as couldn’t as they had cordoned off with police tape.
"I could see there was a bike lying there and there was lots of police cars and someone bagging evidence."
Superintendent Bex Smith from Surrey Police said: "This is an incident we are taking extremely seriously and are asking for anyone with any information regarding the child, the van or what happened to come forward.
"If you were in the area, perhaps commuting to or from Redhill train station at the time please get in touch with us if you saw anything suspicious.
"At this stage we are not ruling out a number of options, including whether the child and the person in the van know each other.”

Chelsea make £32million bid to bring David Luiz back from Paris Saint-Germain

David Luiz could be heading back to Chelsea
Chelsea have made a sensational late move to sign David Luiz from Paris Saint-Germain in a £32million deal.
The approach comes with Luiz out of favour under the French champions' new coach Unai Emery.
Luiz, a 29-year-old Brazil international, was sold by Chelsea for a world-record £50million two years ago.
Emery, after succeeding Laurent Blanc as PSG coach this summer, is understood to have told 29-year-old Luiz that he does not see him as one of his first-choice centre-halves.
Action Images via Reuters Unai Emery is not keen on Luiz
Luiz found himself in the firing line during PSG's defeat to Monaco last week when he was substituted by Emery after conceding a penalty.
Chelsea have turned to Luiz after refusing to meet Napoli's £60million valuation for their Senegalese centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly.
The Londoners have also had bids of £30million and £34million rejected by AC Milan for their rising star Alessio Romagnoli.

Experts are issuing advice for religious leaders in how to avoid a terror attack and where to hide and when to run if they are targeted, as the threat level to churches has risen

Terror alert for British vicars as experts warn religious leaders 'a terrorist attack on churches is coming'
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Religious leaders in the UK are being warned to increase security at churches - and avoid wearing dog collars in public - as they are at high risk of being targeted by extremists.
New counter terrorism advice is being urgently issued to vicars and churches across the UK this week over fears an attack on British religious institutions is now likely.
The new measures follow the murder of a priest by two ISIS terrorists in France last month, amid fears the same could now happen in the UK.
Experts warn that a terrorist attack on churches "is coming." Places of worship in the UK, which are 'easy targets' for extremists, are now being urged to take precautions and beef up security.
A draft of the measures being issued and seen by Mirror Online - called Counter Terrorism Advice for Churches - urges religious leaders to prepare for incidents and to be on alert for attackers, who are likely to be armed with knives.
Getty Catholic priest Father Jacques Hamel was killed by ISIS terrorists during morning mass
Catholic priest Jacques Hamel, 85, had his throat slit by knife-wielding assailants wearing fake explosive belts when he was taken hostage at his church in Normandy on July 26.
The slaying has prompted guidance for religious institutions in the UK to be rewritten.
This is being done by former police officer Nick Tolson, who has advised the Home Office on counter-terrorism measures since 2012. He is writing the measures for National Churchwatch - which produces personal safety advice to people who work at places of worship.
Nick Tolson of National Churchwatch who advises the Home Office on counter-terrorism
Mr Tolson told Mirror Online: "Since the French attack we have to look at the possibility of an attack on a church in this country. The risk level has gone up.
"Churches in the past were considered low risk - now we know an attack is coming... and churches are one of the easy targets.
"It's likely to be a knife - not a machine gun, but we are covering that too."
REUTERS The attack on the priest shocked the whole of France - and the Home Office is worried it could happen in the UK
As well as advising religious leaders how to avoid being targeted, the measures give directions about what to do if an attack takes place. It reads: "If someone produces weapons during a service (and this will usually be a knife or blunt instrument) then you will need to get people out of the church.
"They are at risk, it only takes seconds for someone to stab a large number of people as we have seen."
It also advises religious leaders how to handle Sunday School children who may get separated from their parents in the event of an attack.
It continues: "Obviously the safety of children is paramount and understandably the parents will be frantic."
Getty Although there is no specific threat of an attack - all churches are being warned to be on their guard
The document - which is illustrated with images of handguns and semi-automatic AK-47 rifles - stresses the need to respond quickly "to give you the best chance of survival".
It says: "It does not matter whether they have a pistol, rifle or a machine gun. A firearm will kill a large number of people very quickly."
Reuters There are worries that a British church could be targeted like in France
The document also gives advice on:
Preparing for a terrorist attack
CCTV, alarms and controlling entrances
Challenging suspicious people
Dealing with disturbances during services
Getting distance from the attacker or scene of the incident
Taking cover in the event of 'gunfire or explosions'.
Since 1996 eight members of the clergy have been murdered in the UK - all of them killed with knives.

A vicar, who declined to be named, told Mirror Online they have been warned by church diocese officials not to wear their dog collars in public because it marks them out as a potential target. He claimed they have also been warned to avoid being in churches on their own.
Mr Tolson is the Christian representative on the Places of Worship Security Committee at the Counter Extremism Directorate at the Home Office. Other members of the committee are Sikh, Muslim and Hindu.
He is updating the Government's 2009 document 'Counter terrorism protective security advice for places of worship' - which he describes as "terribly outdated" and "impractical" and "written by people who don't work in a church".
Getty An attack on a UK church is thought likely to happen since the French priest attack
Mr Tolson added: "We used to say hide under the table but (terrorists) will come and shoot you - now it's all about running away...
"If you saw (the attacks) in Nice the police were shouting to run - the new guidance is about getting distance."
The advice details "examples of good cover" in the event of an attack, which includes hiding behind substantial brickwork and the bases of large live trees. It advises against concealing yourself behind car doors and wooden fences.
However Mr Tolson insists churches need to continue to operate in the community and be "open."
REUTERS The French priest attack makes people believe we could see similar scenes in the UK
He admits he has heard concerns raised about wearing a dog collar in public at seminars with clergy he's attended - but disagrees with religious leaders changing how they normally act.
He added: "When I ask why, they says it's because they don't want to be identified, but if you stop people wearing them they feel their faith is challenged.
"It's about teaching people to react to the situation in front of them."
Getty One vicar said they had been advised not to wear a dog collar in public
One vicar Mirror Online spoke to, who declined to be named, said they had been told:
Not to wear dog collars in public which identify them as being in the clergy
Not to be in their church alone by themselves at any time
To beef up security at their church - despite concerns over the cost
Adam Gerrard / Daily Mirror The attack on the innocent French priest shocked the world
He told Mirror Online: "I've been told not to wear my dog collar in public to identify myself.
"I've also been told to not be in the church by myself - but it would cost me too much to pay someone to come with me to open up every day.
"There are government schemes you can apply for funding to improve security but you have to contribute 20% - I know that would bankrupt my church and I can't risk that."
Churches in the UK have insisted they will remain open to all despite the threat of attack.
PA The advice states a knife is the most likely weapon - but that guns like AK-47s could be used
Since the French attack in July anti-terrorism police have warned churches to be on alert - although they say they have no specific intelligence relating to planned attacks on Christians.
The Deputy Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Neil Basu QPM, wrote to UK church congregations as a direct response to "the terrible murder of Father Jacques Hamel in France".
In his letter he wrote: "We are again reminded of the indiscriminate nature of terrorism and the brutal and senseless actions of these criminals."
Mr Basu urged churches to immediately review their security.
He added: "Church leaders and their congregations here in the UK should remain alert not alarmed.
Getty The Met police wrote to all churches in the UK after the France attack warning them
"There is no current intelligence to suggest any attack planning of this nature in this country.
"However I know these are troubling times and it makes sense for all church leaders to review their security plans and to encourage their flock to be vigilant."
On the same day as the Normandy murder - by coincidence - the Government announced "funding is available to places of worship stop hate crimes".
Churches, mosques and temples have also been invited to bid for grants from the £2.4million fund "if they can show that they are at risk of attack from religious hate crimes".
The scheme covers security equipment - but not the cost of recruiting security personnel.
It can include money for:
CCTV systems
perimeter fencing and intruder alarms
security doors and access gates
bollards, locks and external lighting
Places of worship need to contribute 20% of the total costs - and the fund will not cover annual service charges or maintenance costs.
Synagogues are exempt from the scheme as they can apply for a separate grant from the Community Security Trust - a charity that provides protection services to Britain’s Jewish communities.
The scheme was launched by home affairs minister Amber Rudd as she outlined a Hate Crime Action Plan.
Dan Kitwood Home Secretary Amber Rudd acknowledges that action need to be taken over hate crimes aimed at Christians
She said: "Those who practise hatred send out a message that it’s okay to abuse and attack others because of their nationality, ethnicity or religious background; that it’s okay to disregard our shared values and promote the intolerance that causes enormous harm to communities and individuals.
“Well, I have a very clear message for them. We will not stand for it. Hatred has no place whatsoever in a 21st century Great Britain that works for everyone.
“We are Great Britain because we are united by values such as democracy, free speech, mutual respect and opportunity for all.
"We are the sum of all our parts - a proud, diverse society. Hatred does not get a seat at the table, and we will do everything we can to stamp it out.”
Dan Kitwood The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby is worried about anti-Christian hate crimes
The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has previously also spoken out against the rise in racist incidents - which are on the rise since the Brexit vote.
At the Church of England’s General Synod in York in July - before the attack - he said: “It is perfectly clear that the result and the referendum campaign had “exposed deep divisions in our society, of which we were aware already.
“The result [of the referendum] has released a latent racism and xenophobia in all sectors, and challenges the prevailing consensus of tolerance and acceptance, thus threatening other areas of welcome liberalisation."

Robber with a vendetta against Beefeater restaurants wears a clown mask in terrifying raid

CCTV footage of one of Oliver Leggatt's raids on Beefeater
A masked robber who left restaurant staff terrified after holding them up at gun and knife point has been jailed for almost ten years.
Oliver Leggatt had a vendetta against Beefeater restaurants after he was sacked from a job and planned a series of raids in which he wore a clown mask, a scarf and a cloth across his face.
He was caught on CCTV during his first raid at Newton Abbot racecourse in Devon but only caught almost a year later when he had carried out two more raids in nearby Paignton.
He bullied his waitress girlfriend at one of the restaurants into helping him by driving him to the raids or providing him with details of staff rotas so he could choose when to strike.
DEVON AND CORNWALL POLICE Oliver Leggatt captured on restaurant CCTV during raid
In the third raid at the Whiterock Beefeater in Paignton he was caught on CCTV as he held a realistic looking imitation pistol to the head of manager Sheree Thomas and forced her to open the safe.
He then pinned her to the ground and bound her hands with cable ties before leaving her helpless and alone in an office.
She only escaped by using her tongue to dial 999.
Leggatt was caught because he used to work at the Paignton restaurant and Ms Thomas recognised his voice.
PA Leggatt had a vendetta against Beefeater fuelled by losing his job with the chain
Police gave him bail while they waited for forensic evidence and he and his younger brother William went on to swindle his own grandparents out of £65,000 in an internet banking scam, Exeter Crown Court was told.
Leggatt, 23, admitted two robberies, an attempted robbery, possessing a knife and an imitation firearm, four frauds and two offences of transferring the proceeds of fraud.

The Olympics have only just finished but organisers in Rio have already turned their attention to another huge sporting event: the Paralympic Games.
Disabled athletes from across the globe will flock to Brazil for the Games, which, like the Olympics, are held every four years.
The build-up to the event hasn't been without incident as it was revealed last week that the Paralympics were facing major budget cuts due to poor ticket sales.
However, regardless of the negativity surrounding the Games, they will be the pinnacle of many of the participating athletes' careers.
Here's all the information you need ahead of the 2016 Paralympics...
When do the Games start?
September 7 2016.

What about Britain's involvement?
There will be 258 British athletes competing at the Games across 19 different sports.
GB's Paralympians won 120 medals at London 2012, finishing third behind China and Russia.
Russia, however, won't take part this time around due to a blanket ban issued to all athletes over the doping scandal currently engulfing the nation.

Who are the main Brits to look out for?
Swimmer Ellie Simmonds has four gold medals to her name from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics and the 21-year-old will be gunning for even more success in Rio.
Cyclist Dame Sarah Storey, Jonnie Peacock and David Weir are also tipped for glory.
Wimbledon champion Gordon Reid is also competing, as he takes part in the men's doubles event alongside Alfie Hewitt.

Radio 4 soap The Archers set to air its most explosive storyline ever

The Archers is set for its most dramatic storyline ever
Radio 4’s soap opera The Archers sees its most explosive storyline to date reach trial this week for its most “potent” scenes to date, according to its cast.
Domestic abuse victim Helen Titchener will plead not guilty for attempted murder and wounding with intent in court, after listeners heard her stab her husband, Rob, following months of physical and emotional bullying.
Actress Louiza Patikas, 39, who plays mother-of-two Helen, says of the harrowing week: “It’s a crucial milestone in a powerful and impactful storyline.
“It would be devastating for Helen to be found guilty and sent back to prison, thereby losing both of her children to Rob.
"But it would be equally terrible to be found not guilty yet still potentially lose custody of Henry and Jack to Rob, and have to live in the village watching her children being brought up by him. The stakes here are incredibly high for Helen.”
Actress Louiza plays Helen in the hit soap
Timothy Watson, 53, who plays “psychopath” farm manager Rob, adds: “The trial episodes were potent - there’s no pretending otherwise.
“He [Rob] believes he will be, at the trial, completely vindicated for all the hardship he has suffered at the hands of Helen.”
When the original storyline climaxed with the chilling incident in April, which took place in front of Helen’s five-year-old son, Henry, it prompted a dramatic rise in victims of domestic violence coming forward to report what they had suffered.
In what was dubbed The Archers’ Effect, calls to Women’s Aid and Refuge increased by 17%.
Polly Neate, chief executive of the charity Women’s Aid, said at the time that the plot had helped women in similar situations to “stop and think” about what was happening to them.
BBC Rob Titchener and Helen Archer from The Archers
Since the dramatic episode earlier this year, Helen has been remanded in custody, where she gave birth to son, Jack.
She will plead that her act was in self defence this week.
Script writer Tim Stimpson reveals he spent a day at Birmingham Crown Court listening to similar stories play out to prepare for the scenes.
He says: “A barrister has helped us devise the storyline and we’ve had lots of advice about what Helen’s life would be like in a Mother and Baby Unit. Having to bring little Jack with her to court means Helen’s experience is quite unusual.
“As well as having a barrister to advise I spent a day at Birmingham Crown Court sitting in on a variety of trials.
"One Defendant was convicted for ten years having inflicted strangely similar wounds to the ones Helen inflicted on Rob.
"It was very sobering to see the course of someone’s life changed.”

Patients undergoing night operations more than TWICE as likely to die as those having them in the day

Night operations are thought to be more dangerous than those performed during the day
Patients going under the knife at night are more than twice as likely to DIE as those undergoing surgery in the daytime, new research clims.
The startling findings were made from a five-year study which also showed that those being operated on in the working day or in the early evening are ALSO at higher risk of dying.
Presented at the World Congress of Anaesthesiologists in Hong Kong, the research suggests that people who undergo surgery during the night were 2.17 times more likely to die as patients operated on during regular working hours.
Post-op mortality risk factors have been extensively studied before.
Getty Research suggests patients are more than twice as likely to die if operated on at night
Previously identified risk factors include the patient's age and emergency status.
But the researchers said that previous studies analysing the time of surgery and the post-op risk of dying have had "ambiguous" results.
The aim of the new study was to investigate any link between post-op mortality and the time of day that surgery took place at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada.
A retrospective review of post-op mortality was conducted at the teaching hospital.
Researchers evaluated all surgical procedures over five years from April 2010 to March 2015.
Getty Evening operations are also thought to be more dangerous for patients
A database was constructed collecting variables about surgical interventions.
The working day was divided into three time blocks: daytime 07:30-15:29; evening 15:30-23:29, and night time 23:30-07:29.
The start time of the anaesthetic recorded by the circulating nurse was used to determine in which time block the operation began.
There were 41,716 elective and emergency ops performed on 33,942 patients. Of these, 10,480 were emergency procedures; there were 3,445; 4,951; and 2,084 emergency procedures with anaesthesia starting between day, evening and night respectively.
There were 226, 97 and 29 deaths following day, evening and night surgery, and 79, 95, 29 deaths following emergency surgery in the same time periods.
Getty
The researchers found that patients operated on during the night were 2.17 times more likely to die than those who underwent surgery during regular daytime working hours.
And patients operated on in the late day were 1.43 times more likely to die than those operated on during regular daytime working hours.
Study co-author Dr Ning Nan Wang, of McGill University Health Centre in Canada, said: "This study demonstrates that late day and night emergency surgery are associated with higher mortality.
"Post-operative 30-day in-hospital mortality rate should include start time of anaesthesia, along with other known variables, as a risk factor."
The researchers said that that theoretical possible causes for the differences include, but are not limited to, provider fatigue during anaesthesia and surgery, overnight hospital staffing issues, delays in treatment - such as how many operating rooms are available, or the patient being too sick to be postponed prior to treatment.
Dr Wang added: "Analysis of each of these possibilities is important to understand the reasons for this increased mortality and to direct any remedial action in an effort to reduce post-operative mortality."

Will Keane is on the brink of leaving Manchester United
Manchester United striker Will Keane , 23, has reportedly been given permission to join Hull.
Tigers interim boss Mike Phelan knows Keane well from his time as a coach at United.
And the Hull Daily Mail say Phelan is keen to sign Keane from his former club.
It is claimed Hull have offered £1million for the striker and Jose Mourinho is willing to let him leave.
Keane scored the first goal of the Mourinho era as he netted the opener in the Special One's first match in charge of United, a 2-0 victory at Wigan in pre-season.
Man Utd via Getty Keane scored against Wigan in pre-season...
PA Wire ... but he's not in Jose Mourinho's long-term plans
But the youngster clearly isn't in Mourinho's long-term plans and his exit could be confirmed as early as Tuesday.
Keane made his United debut in December 2011 but went on to make only a further two competitive appearances for the club.
He's spent time on loan at Wigan, QPR, Sheffield Wednesday and Preston.

Rita Ora's wardrobe choices are usually totally on point.
But the stunning star's MTV Video Music Awards look left a lot to be desired.
The new America's Next Top Model host was flashing her knickers and bra underneath the lace Marc Jacobs dress which had red feather detailing around the hem.
Finishing off her look, Rita wore a pair of towering platform heels and a leather jacket with the feathers on the shoulders.
The star tied her blonde locks back into a tight bun and wore heavy eye make-up.

Meanwhile, it’s been reported that Rihanna asked to be seated away from Rita at the bash.
A source told The Sun: "Rihanna is receiving the Video Vanguard Award and she wants the evening to be all about her. She isn't going to let anything, or anyone, upstage her.
"She has never liked Rita and put a call into MTV last week asking for her to be sat far away from her so she isn't disturbed during the ceremony."

She hid her makeup-free face under a baseball cap and wheeled along a designer suitcase.

See inside 'The Secret' home where 'driller killer' Colin Howell who inspired chilling ITV show confessed horror crimes

This pine table is the spot where Howell finally admitted to his crimes
This pine kitchen table is the spot where a notorious murderer admitted to his chilling crimes .
Colin Howell was a respected dentist and revered Sunday School teacher but he held a shocking secret - that he had killed two people and sexually assaulted drugged patients at his clinic.
His crimes were so shocking they became the focal point of the hit ITV drama The Secret but now his home is up for sale - complete with all furnishings.
For a decade Howell bullied wife Kyle Jorgensen into keeping his secret, blackmailing her into thinking she must not utter a word about the killings of Trevor Buchanan and Lesley Howell for the sake of their children – or he would take his own life.
Colin Howell finally confessed to the killings after years of holding the secret

It was only in 2009, and after a string of conflicts, that Howell’s horrors would be made public. On Thursday 28 January of that year, she told him: “Colin, today is the day.”
According to Belfast Live , when he protested, she said: “No, this is the moment.”
Kyle summoned three church elders to their sprawling home and, after bearing witness to the shocking confession, they called police who arrived to arrest the once hugely respected dentist.
The killings were turned into a hit ITV show called The Secret starring Laura Pyper and James Nesbitt
The murderer’s mansion on the outskirts of Castlerock, Co Derry, is up for sale - complete with a fishing lake and seven acres of land - for a knockdown £300,000.
It is also where he hosted prayer meetings and raised his family with second wife, American Kyle.
The sprawling home is now up for sale and is attracting interest from England
The inside of the home seems eerily normal - despite the monster who lived there
The money from the sale of the four bedroom, four reception house is expected to be used to compensate victims of Howell’s heinous sex attacks at his Ballymoney dentistry clinic.
The receivers of the property chose a trusted local estate agent and sources revealed the home has already attracted interest from potential buyers in England.
The large number of rooms would meet the needs of a larger family and the annex could be used by visitors or older relatives wishing to make the move with children and grandchildren.
Along with all the usual necessities such as decent bedrooms and living space, there are the additional extras that make the home a luxury living space.
The home is on sale for around £300,000 and could be rented for up to£1,000-a-month
The kitchen appears rustic and is large enough for a family
In addition to the family bathroom there are two other shower rooms, there is a dressing room, a playroom which is currently set up as a gym and there is also a study and outside there is a garage workshop.
If the property was to be rented out it is estimated it would be able to attract between £900 and a £1,000 a month.
A brochure showcasing the property describes it as a “fantastic family home” with “easy access” to nearby towns and villages.
Nearby Castlerock is where Howell dumped his victims’ bodies in a mock suicide scene.
On the night of 18 to 19 May 1991 – his son’s second birthday – Howell gassed his wife Lesley, 31, and put her in the boot of his estate car.
After driving past a police patrol, he arrived at the home of police officer Trevor Buchanan.
Despite the home going up for sale, Howell is not expected to get any money
Victims of his heinous sex crimes are thought to be the ones benefiting from any sale of the home
When the house was put on the market a source told Belfast Live: “Howell was bankrupted and a receiver moved in.
“They are gathering his assets to pay his creditors, tax bills, and money for victims and anybody else.”
The sales brochure says the house has “generous electrical specification, wired for sound, UK and American power points throughout” - ideal for Kyle when she lived there before Howell’s bombshell confession.
The description reads: “This magnificent country residence which offers extensive family accommodation is situated on the outskirts of Castlerock with lake and private mature site extending to approximately seven acres.
The massive estate was meant to be the dream home where killer Howell expected to retire
It comes with a weights room where people can work out
The home is being touted as having outstanding sea views
“It has outstanding sea views and overlooks the surrounding countryside.
“This property offers the potential purchaser a home with well laid out accommodation.”
Howell won’t get a penny of the sale from the property as it was seized along with the rest of his assets.
Earlier this year a former Coleraine mayor suggested the house could be used as a macabre tourist attraction.
The comments were made during a discussion on a neighbour’s planning application.
PA Lesley Howell was killed by her own husband
PA Howell also killed Trevor Buchanan - the husband of his mistress
It has now emerged the Howell house will be changing hands in the future - opening up a range of possibilities for its use.
Belfast Live previously revealed how Howell also lost his half-a-million-pound pension due to the sick sex acts he carried out on drugged patients at his Co Antrim clinic.
Howell - who is currently serving a life sentence - was denied a total of £587,526.27.
A source close to Howell said he had just one regret about confessing to his crimes - trusting Kyle to stand by him.
He believed she would support him when he finally held his hands up to the callous killings, 18 years later .
The 1991 murders were portrayed in controversial ITV drama series, The Secret.

Disabled girl, 6, 'called out for mum during sexual assault by four boys in school toilet'
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

A disabled six-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in a school toilet by four young boys who told her they wanted to play a ‘game’, according to reports.
The boys stuffed toilet paper into the mentally and physically disabled girl’s mouth to stifle her screams for her mother in the November 2013 incident at a school in Illawarra, a region in the Australian state of New South Wales.
The authorities were alerted after she came back to class with her uniform inside out.
Police officers said two of the boys were aged five and nine, while the victim’s mother said her daughter had identified four boys aged between nine and 11, reports the Australian Daily Telegraph .
The incident has been brought to light because the mother has chosen to sue the Department of Education.
Getty The boys 'stuffed toilet paper into the mentally and physically disabled girl’s mouth'. File picture
The mum told staff her daughter should be in the special needs playground but was in the main one at the time of the incident.
The girl now suffers from nightmares, flashbacks and ‘insurmountable’ stress, it was reported.
Lisa Flynn, an abuse law partner at Shine Lawyers, was quoted by The Daily Telegraph as saying: "This happened because of the school’s failure to not only properly supervise students in their care, but also respond appropriately when reports of assaults were made.”
A Department of Education spokesman said the incident with the girl had been referred to the Department of Family and Community Services and police.
A police spokesman said no police action would be taken because of the boys’ ages. In New South Wales, a child under the age of 10 cannot be charged with a criminal offence.
The Telegraph also reports three other sexual assaults allegedly occurred at the same school.

Fearne uploaded the black and white snap to Twitter, telling her 7.2million followers that they'd been having an amazing time as a family.
She wrote: "No sleep again due to poor teething Honey. Will be powered today by great memories of yesterday's Feastival!"
The mum-of-two also shared pics of them at the festival in The Cotswolds together - a far cry from Glastonbury at Worthy Farm in Somerset - which the pair attended this year without their children.

Police 'dread' the Notting Hill Carnival after attacks on them
Some police officers “dread” the Notting Hill Carnival and are being used as “professional punchbags”, according a leader of rank-and-file officers.
Ken Marsh, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, called for a “full-scale review” of the event after 43 officers were assaulted, with eight needing hospital treatment after being spat at.
Police made 454 arrests and four people were wounded in stabbings during one of Europe’s largest street parties.
Mr Marsh said: “Last year we had an officer stabbed. This year colleagues were assaulted, abused and spat at. Forty-three were injured - with eight needing hospital treatment. How can that be right? It’s completely and utterly unacceptable.

“A seemingly growing number of people appear intent on hijacking this Carnival and turning it into a Bank Holiday battleground. The Glastonbury music festival had 40 arrests this year. Notting Hill had 10 times that amount.
“The organisers need to understand that this event cannot carry on regardless. I think many Londoners will wonder whether the significant amount of taxpayers’ money spent policing this event is frankly worth it.”

Commander Dave Musker, who was in charge of the policing operation at this year’s event, said:
“I am very proud of all the officers and staff who were deployed to Carnival this year.

"Once again they demonstrated their unwavering professionalism and bravery to ensure this spectacular celebration, that headlines the London event calendar, was not spoilt by a small minority wishing to use the Carnival a cover for committing crime.”
He said that though the arrest number was the highest for more than a decade, this was due in part to 38 people being held for possession of nitrous oxide.

Oliver Dearlove, 30, worked for Duncan Lawrie Private Banking and was a keen footballer
A banker died after an attacker asked 'what are you looking at?' before launching a fatal punch, his family have claimed.
Oliver Dearlove, 30, suffered fatal injuries after being assaulted in Blackheath, South London, in the early hours of Sunday, police said.
He was rushed to hospital but died at 10.22pm last night.
Police have launched a murder investigation and appealed for witnesses.
According to his social media profiles, Oli worked at Duncan Lawrie Private Banking and was a keen amateur footballer at Lord Hood FC in Chislehurst.

His mum Joy Wright told the Guardian her son was on a night out with friends when he was attacked suddenly following an "altercation".
She said: "I think someone said to him and his friends ‘what are you looking at?’ and that was it.
"I think he stopped breathing when he hit the floor."
Met Police Police have launched a murder investigation and appealed for witnesses to come forward
His girlfriend Claire Wheatley said the couple had been saving money to buy a house and start a family together.
She told the paper: "He was the kindest person.
"He was the most amazing person I’ve ever met and ever known."
Detectives say they are keeping an "open mind" regarding any motive for the assault .
And they are appealing for any witnesses to the incident on Tranquil Vale or anyone with any information to come forward.
DCI Lee Watling, of the Met's Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "We are retaining an open mind at this stage of the investigation with regards to a motive.
"Our primary aim is to establish how Mr Dearlove came to receive the injuries which led to his death.
"We are appealing for anyone who was at Tranquil Vale at the time of the incident, in particular a group of up to four white females who Mr Dearlove and his friends were speaking to around the time the offence occurred."
He said police were called at around 12.45am to reports of a man assaulted.
Getty Police are appealing for a group of four women who were seen chatting to Oliver to come forward
Officers, paramedics and an air ambulance all attended the scene.
Mr Dearlove, of Eltham, south east London, was taken to an east London hospital where he subsequently died at 10:22pm on Sunday.
DCI Watling added: "No arrests have been made. Inquiries are ongoing."
A post-mortem examination is due to take place at Greenwich Mortuary tomorrow.

A Brit charged with killing a Bali policeman was forced to kiss his girlfriend and mime stabbing the officer with a broken bottle in a macabre murder reenactment on a beach.
Dredlocked David Taylor, from Stoke Newington in London, has confessed to being involved in a “confrontation” with the officer over his girlfriend’s missing purse but has denied killing him, according to his lawyer.
Taylor, 34, was arrested alongside his Australian partner, Sara Connor, two days after the bloodied body of Indonesian traffic police officer Wayan Sudarsa, 53, was discovered face down covered in the sand near the Pullman Hotel in Kuta.
At 4am this morning local time, they were forced by cops investigating the alleged murder to retrace their steps as the sun came up on Kuta beach - popular with tourists - in the full glare of the world's media.
Instructed as if actors on a film set - being ordered to act out each scene by police yelling over a microphone - Connor took off the sarong covering her face so Taylor could kiss her on the top of the head.
It was the first time the pair had seen each other since their arrest on August 19.

Both wore orange overalls with the words 'Prisoner of Denpasar police' emblazoned on their backs - with name placards hung round their necks.
Connor, 45, then laid her head on Taylor's shoulder and the couple linked arms.
The pair were cajoled 'scene-by-scene' through the alleged events which led to the death as they moved closer to the water's edge to re-enact a kiss.

A police officer directed them: "Act seven: David and Sara return from the water edge, find the bag and the bottle missing."
Mr Taylor then began to act out frisking someone playing Mr Sudarsa for the lost purse.
The officer continued: "Act 13, the victim pushed David."
And so it continued...

Eventually the pair fell onto the sand, with Taylor kneeling over 'Mr Sudarsa'.
Connor was then introduced into the 'scene' to re-enact how she allegedly tried to separate them.
At one point she straddled the officer and appeared to pretend to strike him - although her lawyer insists she rejects this version of events.
The 'Mr Sudarsa' mimed biting her on the thigh as she knelt down beside him.

The confrontation was shown to escalated in near silence.
The officer directing the scenes continued: "David fell and became involved in a fight with the victim."
"...victim and David hitting each other and struggling."
"...David smashed the bottle to the back of victim's head until it shattered."
Taylor pretended to hit 'Mr Sudarsa' over the back of his head with a broken beer bottle.
The 'Mr Sudarsa' laid face down in the sand with his arms outstretched.
Getty The pair wore orange prison overalls with their names emblazoned on the back
The dead policeman's wife Ketut Arsini at one point arrived to watch on, saying nothing - and left quickly.
Police said the purpose of the re-enactment is to determine who is "telling the truth and who is not".
Denpasar District Police Chief Hadi Purnomo has said there are discrepancies in both their stories.
Mr Purnomo insisted: "It was done by David, the victim was killed after being hit several times."
Police claim that blood "identical" to that found at the crime scene was discovered in their hotel - which the couple's lawyers say is yet to be proved.
It's also claimed the pair later burned evidence - which their different lawyers say they blame each other for.
Getty The pair can be seen rifling through the pockets of the 'dead corpse' actor
Taylor's lawyer said: "My client regrets what he has done, he was honest (he told the truth).
"But the incident happened, it was out of his control during a fight (with the policeman)."
Taylor - a musician with the stage name DJ Nutzo - faces 15 years in an Indonesia prison if convicted of murder.

The Sainsbury's store in Gosforth, Newcastle, which is launching 'Slow Shopping' trial
A supermarket is introducing a weekly “Slow Shopping” session to help elderly or vulnerable customers.
The Sainsbury’s store in Gosforth, Newcastle, will have staff on hand to greet people at the door and help with their shopping as well as putting out chairs at the end of aisles.
The trial, which will run every Tuesday between 1pm and 3pm, will also see two help desks set up offering free samples of fruit, biscuits and cake.
Katherine Vero, founder of Slow Shopping, came up with the idea after finding it difficult to go shopping with her mother after she developed dementia .
Getty Slow Shopping founder Katherine Vero is delighted at the response by Sainsbury's
She said: “My mum used to love shopping but as her dementia developed it became increasingly difficult and stressful for us both.
“But I didn’t want her to stop going out and become isolated. I wondered if there was a way to help us enjoy shopping.
“After she passed away, I was inspired to come up with the idea of Slow Shopping and was delighted when Sainsbury’s agreed to help me trial it. I hope other retailers will follow.”
Earlier this year, an Asda store in Manchester introduced a “quiet hour” to help autistic and disabled shoppers .
The special disability-friendly hour was started to help local people who feel intimidated or stressed by noise and disturbance.
It involved the store opening an hour early without many electronic distractions, such as escalators and display TVs, and no announcements made over the tannoy.

Amazing unreleased photos of Freddie Mercury to celebrate what would have been his 70th birthday
Stripped to the waist and straddled by the fishnet-clad legs of a Munich drag queen, Freddie Mercury looks every inch the glam rock legend.
The picture was taken as he celebrated his 39th birthday in typically wild style at the famous Mrs Henderson nightclub in the German city.
As he writhed under the pink petticoats of his dance partner, bursting with fun and life, it would have been hard to imagine that just six years later he’d be dead from AIDS .
Had the cruel disease not claimed his life, next Monday would have been Freddie’s 70th birthday.
Freddie Mercury looks every inch the glam rock star
INTERNET UNKNOWN Freddie Mercury being mobbed by fans
And the pictures are among dozens, many never published before, that accompany a vinyl box set of his hits released to celebrate the Queen frontman.
We also reveal touching pictures of a very traditional childhood in Zanzibar, where he was born Farrokh Bulsara to Indian Parsee parents in 1946.
They show the young Freddie being cradled in his mother Jer’s arms, giggling as a baby in his old-fashioned pram, being pulled along in a rickshaw and posing with his younger sister Kashmira.

These treasured family snaps paint a picture of a more conformist Mercury who won a cup for “Best Achiever” at his elite boarding school, St Peter’s in Panchgani, India.
But his sedate, quiet upbringing was interrupted by the Zanzibar Revolution and in 1964 the family fled to the UK where he attended Ealing Art College.
It was here he met bassist Tim Staffell, a member of the band Smile, which included guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. The rest, as they say, is history.
Internet Unknown Freddie Mercury with his mother in Zanzibar
Queen went on to become one of the biggest bands in rock history, selling 300 million records, and it was front-man Freddie who attracted the most attention with his strutting stage presence and incredible four-octave vocal range.
Had he been alive today, there’s every chance he would have been a gay rights champion.
Flamboyant and camp, Freddie was up front about his sexuality at a time when many gay stars went to great lengths to hide theirs.
Internet Unknown Freddie Mercury as a child
It’s a tragedy that medical advances in the treatment of HIV and AIDS, which meant it was no longer a death sentence, came about just a few years after his death.
If Freddie had survived a little longer, he might still be alive today.
Perhaps, with the advent of same-sex marriages in 2014, the star would have wed his long-term lover Jim Hutton.
Internet Unknown Freddie had a very traditional childhood in Zanzibar
Freddie called hairdresser Jim “my husband” in the 80s, long before gay marriage was legalised.
Jim, who also had HIV, died in 2010 after a long battle with cancer.
But the one person who would almost certainly have remained in Freddie’s life is the woman who lived with him on-and-off for 20 years.
Mirrorpix Freddie Mercury, performing on stage
Biba PR girl Mary Austin was 19 when she met the rock star and they were lovers for six years.
After he told her he was gay she remained his devoted friend. He called her “the love of my life”.
In his will, Freddie left Mary his fabulous £20million Edwardian mansion in West London and a big share of his £9million fortune.
INTERNET UNKNOWN Freddie Mercury and Mary Austin
She stayed loyal as he embarked on a life of promiscuity, saying later: “I think Freddie reached a stage where he thought he was invincible.”
She also claimed many of the star’s so-called friends were “there for the free tickets, the free booze, the free drugs, the free meals, the gossip and, of course, the expensive gifts.”
Mary revealed that in the final days of his life, the star spent hours watching DVD footage of his past performances.
The other strong woman in his life was his mother Jer but, while he was happy to share his secrets with Mary, he “protected” his mother from his excesses.
He never told her he was HIV positive or dying of Aids.
“He protected us by never discussing these matters,” Jer said in an interview in 2012."
INTERNET UNKNOWN Freddie Mercury as a child with his sister
It is quite different now, but back then it would have been very hard for him to tell us and we respected his feelings.
“Freddie kept a strict division between his work and his home all his life.”
But the star’s legacy lives on in his vibrant performances with Queen, whose music was introduced to a whole new generation of fans during their 1985 Live Aid gig.
INTERNET UNKNOWN Freddie Mercury at boarding school
Everyone who worked with him described not only his commitment to his craft, but his sense of humour and keenly felt emotions.
British director David Mallet, who worked closely with the star on his music videos, said: “Freddie was one of the funniest men I have ever met.
“But everybody came away enriched in some way. Freddie was one of the really great originals of the second half of the 20th Century.
INTERNET UNKNOWN Freddie Mercury as an adorable baby
“There was nobody like Freddie. There was no one even a bit like Freddie.
“There was just nobody like him
at all.”

Police chase drunk driver at 120mph down motorway and have to smash window to get him out

A drunk driver who led police on a motorway chase – reaching speeds of up to 120mph – was only stopped when officers used a ‘stinger’ device to slash his two front tyres, a court heard.
Dad-of-one Kieran Philbin has been locked up for the shocking pursuit on the M60 and M602 in south Manchester and Salford earlier this summer.
Philbin, 30, had been drinking with a friend and his partner at Piccolino in Bramhall on Wednesday, July 27, but the night turned sour, Manchester Crown Court heard.
After they went back to the couple’s home nearby, Philbin became increasingly drunk, making lewd comments and behaving in a threatening manner.
Prosecuting, Michael Morley said: “It seems to have been a pleasant enough evening.
“But the defendant got more and more drunk and started behaving in an embarrassing way, making comments about finding his friend’s partner attractive.
“When he was rebuffed he became aggressive. He called her a s*** and said: ‘I will take your car, you know’.
Kieran Philbin has been jailed after leading cops on the chase
“A little while later she noticed her car keys were missing.”
Philbin, who had also taken cocaine , was next seen driving the couple’s black Mercedes A200, performing handbrake turns in a Tesco car park on Altrincham Road, Baguley, at about 2am later that night.
He was later spotted by police after receiving reports of a car driving down the wrong side of the road for two miles on the M60 anti-clockwise between junction 6 at Sale and junction 5 at Northenden, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Philbin had been drinking and taking drugs
It was deemed too dangerous for officers to chase but they caught up with the vehicle on the M602.
Officers gave chase, with the car reaching speeds of up to 120mph.
Philbin also collided with police cars side by side as he tried to evade them.
A stinger device was laid by officers, which punctured two of the car’s tyres and slowed Philbin down.
Eventually he was stopped on the slip road at junction 2 of the M602 at the Eccles Interchange, at 3.17am.
Philbin refused to get out of the car, and officers had to smash a window to get him out.
The court heard he has a number of previous convictions for driving offences, and he was already banned from driving while committing this offence.
Philbin, a self-employed plasterer of Glaze Walk, Whitefield, previously pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified, theft, failing to provide a specimen and dangerous driving.
Defending, Patrick Williamson said: “This defendant has a frankly appalling driving record.
“It would seem that on a frequent basis from his youth to more recent times he has a habit of taking vehicles, driving while prevented by doing so by a court order and on occasion drinking to excess.
“That seems to be the case here.”
Mr Williamson said Philbin denied he made sexual advances towards the woman, but said he was angered at her perceived ‘dismissive approach’ after he told her about his mother’s ill health.
Addressing Philbin, Judge Hilary Manley said: “This was a terrible piece of driving at extremely excessive speeds at a time of night when there were few motorists around. You were putting people at grave risk.
“At the age of 30, you are too old for this. Whatever your personal problems are, this is not the answer. It’s only a matter of time before you kill yourself or worse kill someone else.”
Philbin was sentenced to 16 months in prison, and banned from driving for five years.

Mum who was told she was infertile captures every step of her gruelling IVF journey to parenthood

Even if it's decades after the fact, nearly all parents will tell you how they will never forget the day their children were born .
How could they? What it takes to bring a child into the world is such a huge journey .
And, for some, not always an easy one.
The birth of Leanne and Dominic Reynold's baby son, Carter George, is forever etched in Leanne's memory. Not only was he born at 33 weeks due to complications with the cord and placenta, and weighed a tiny 3lbs 13 oz.
It was not, however, the immediate events leading to Carter's birth which made it so memorable .
Speaking to MirrorOnline, Leanne explains how her and Dominic's journey to parenthood has began in 2014 - and share intimate and honest footage charting that journey.
"It was like being punched in the chest"
Knowing she had fertility issues after an ectopic pregnancy and fallopian tube removal in 2005, the couple, from Grimsby, had gone straight to see a doctor after they married.
The couple were good friends for a long time
The couple met in 2011, and their friendship blossomed into something more in 2013, after they both put failed relationships behind them.
After their wedding 15 months later, wanting to have a family of their own, they sought medical advice.
"I was told then I would struggle [to conceive] as there was damage to my other tube as well," Leanne explains.
"That's when all the testing started and further investigations into what was going on in my womb."
Although Leanne had been bracing herself for a long road ahead, hearing that she could not conceive naturally was "was like been punched in the chest.
Leanne and Dominic on their wedding day
Have you struggled to have a family? If you'd like to share your story, you can email [email protected] or get in touch via the form at the bottom.
"The specialist told me IVF was our only option and suggested I had my remaining tube removed as well.
"This I could not bring myself to do so I went against his suggestion. I don't know why I couldn't do it - something was niggling at me to not do it, it's hard to explain."
The couple had already chosen an IVF clinic in Hull, and were faced with another obstacle - the expense.
Leanne continues, "I left the room and sobbed in the corridor but once I released the tension inside I felt better and felt ready for the next step."
It was also at this time that many of their close friends and relatives were having babies, something which Leanne describes as:
"As much as you are happy for them, you still feel like that is what you are missing, it was hard."
The couple married after 15 months together - and knew they wanted to start a family
Devastating news
The treatment started off well, with Leanne praising the doctors for making them feel so welcome and for both explaining things well - and listening to them.
However, in January 2015, she was dealt a shattering setback.
"I received a phone call from Hull telling me my blood tests had come back saying I had hepatitis C.
"Not only was that a blow to the chest, but I was at my Nanna's wake at the time of the call. I left crying.
"More testing and check-ups took place. I had to go see a hepatitis specialist to only find out - eight months later - that my results was a cross contamination and my bloods were fine!"
While, ultimately, the news was a relief, the stress of situation had taken its toll on Leanne.
Leanne is full of praise for all the medical professionals who helped them along the way
"I had started losing weight, I was poorly all the time, I was struggling at work and I cried a lot. It just felt like this was never going to happen.
"Then I started thinking it was probably not meant to be."
The good news, however, was that the IVF could recommence. But there was more heartache to come.
"Shortly after, my husband was rushed to hospital with a heart rate of 241. We all thought it was a heart attack.
"The doctors had never seen a heart rate that high. After testing him he was told it was his electrons in his heart causing it and that stress brings these on.
"But again we got through it and carried on, the IVF started and then the drugs started."
Preparation and a happy result
In addition to navigating all the difficulties they'd been faced with, Leanne had also been preparing herself mentally and physically for the gruelling treatment.
While they were happy for their friends and relatives' families, it was also tough at times
"I did everything by the book. I was a smoker, and I stopped when I found out that the IVF was back on and never touched a cigarette again.
"I started eating three meals a day, cut out caffeine I even did meditation which I found really helped. People may laugh at that but I was determined to do what it takes to make this work."
Aside from her husband's hospital stay and her hepatitis scare, Leanne also maintained a positive outlook.
"I never felt down or fed up once the treatment started. I just saw it as another step closer. We were nearly there.
"I tried to stay focused and believed it would work."
Carter George Reynolds
Then a year ago, Leanne and Dominic got the news they so longed to hear - a pregnancy test showing a positive result.
The day baby Carter arrived was an eventful one, needing to be delivered by emergency cesarean section at 10.16am.
Carter George, who was born prematurely
"It all happened so quickly. I saw him getting cleaned when he came out - just his little hand.
"I kept asking my husband if he was OK. I was then shown him quickly but then he was taken up to the neonatal unit."
Finally, in the evening, Leanne was able to see her son properly, and was allowed to hold him the next evening.
"When I saw his little body in that incubator, I gasped. He was tiny. That's when other thoughts started running through my mind? Is he going to survive? Will he be OK in the long run? Can I do this?
"But I will never forget seeing him and holding him for the first time, all that love I have for him. He's my miracle, my angel."
Leanne says, "I would just like to thank all the staff at Grimsby Hospital and Hull IVF"
Now Carter is three months old he's weighing in at 9lbs 8oz, and "doing fabulously.
"He's a very happy and content little boy. I couldn't wish for anything else. He has completed me."

Watford 1-3 Arsenal: Alexis Sanchez stars in Gunners romp
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
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.
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...
1. Alexis is warming up
Reuters Close-range: Alexis doubles the lead
Reuters San-tastic: Sanchez settled this game

Reuters Alexis Sanchez celebrates scoring the second goal with Theo Walcott
Two assists and a goal in the first 45 minutes will have provided the perfect riposte for Wenger to the critics with concerns about Chilean playing through the middle.
He was unstoppable, driving at the Watford defence, scoring one and playing a part in another as he dazzled the Hornets.
Outstanding.
2. Timing is everything
Reuters Arsene Wenger has pleased Gooners this week
Unusually for Arsene Wenger he sang like a canary over the imminent, £52million arrivals of both defender Shkodran Mustafi and forward Lucas Perez.
Nothing like appeasing the transfer concerns of fans ahead of the final game before the deadline.
Arsenal fans will be much happier this week than they have been recently.
3. Walter Mazzari is under pressure already at Watford
REUTERS Watford manager Walter Mazzarri
Two Premier League leads blown, embarrassed in the League Cup by League One Gillingham and wiped out here before half time for their second defeat in three matches.
Owner Gino Pozzo likes to fix things that aren’t broken (ask Slavisa Jokanovic and Quique Flores) but the rumblings of discontent suggest he may have chanced his arm on one too many occasions.
4. Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo have yet to show what the fuss is about
REX/Shutterstock Deeney didn't have the best of games against Arsenal
Both men landed new contracts this season - Watford turned down a small fortune from champions Leicester for Deeney - but neither have been particularly impressive in their opening few games.
New signing Roberto Pereyra’s instinctive finish on his debut showed he is ready to push for a starting place already.
More needed.
5. Keeping Bellerin from Barca was one of the better moves of Arsenal’s window
Arsenal FC via Getty Hector Bellerin attracted interest - but he stayed in north London
Early in the second half the Spanish full-back turned the hapless Younes Kaboul inside out before teasing in an inviting ball across the six-yard box. In the 67th minute he broke quickly and showed delightful footwork to play in Alex Oxlade Chamberlain.
Defensively solid, offensively strong, Bellerin will only get better for Arsenal this season.

Two best friends break down in tears as they find out they were switched at birth

David Tait down in tears after being told he was switched at birth 41 years ago
Two best friends were switched at birth and raised by each other's family.
David Tait and Leon Swanson, both 41, broke down in tears as they were told the news at a press conference.
David said he "wanted answers" after learning that he and his pal had been swapped at Norway House Hospital in 1975 in the western Canadian province of Manitoba.
DNA testing confirmed that the two men, who live in the same small town of 5,000 people mostly indigenous from the Cree Nation, had been mixed up.
Mr Tait said he felt "distraught, confused and angry" upon hearing the news.
"I want answers so bad. It's going to affect us one way or the other, I know that. It's going to be a long journey," he added.
He went on to say that the people who raised him "would always be mom and dad, regardless" but he now he had "another brother, another mom and dad".
In November, the Manitoba government said two other men who were close friends were also switched at birth in 1975, at the same Norway House Hospital.
Luke Monias and Norman Barkman's case prompted Mr Tait and Mr Swanson to have their DNA tested.
Leon Swanson at a press conference about the mix up
Eric Robinson, a former Manitoba cabinet minister who is helping the men said: "The federal government owes these people
"What happened to them is criminal.
"We can live with one mistake, but two mistakes of a similar nature is not acceptable.
"We can't slough it off as being a mistake. It was a criminal act.
"It's something (the government) can't sweep under the carpet. There are lingering questions out there.
"These two gentlemen are not the only victims. We have families who are deeply hurt by this. We have siblings ... that are hurt by this.
Canadian Health Minister Jane Philpott said the second case 'deeply troubled' her.
She said: "Cases like this are an unfortunate reminder to Canadians of how urgent the need is to provide all Indigenous people with high-quality health care.

Michael Bisping hopes UFC 204 title defence will be a homecoming to remember

Bisping is hoping to successfully defend his title in front of a home crowd
Michael Bisping is promising a homecoming to remember when he defends his UFC middleweight championship in Manchester.
Bisping will have revenge on his mind when he puts his title on the line in the UFC 204 main event at the Manchester Arena on October 8.
He will face Dan Henderson - a man who scored a knockout victory over Bisping back in 2009, report the Manchester Evening News.
Things will be different this time around as Bisping, from Clitheroe, will have around 20,000 adoring Manchester fans cheering him on for the rematch, and he wants to send them home happy.
This will be Bisping’s first fight back in Manchester for nearly seven years, but he was previously set to compete here back in 2013.

Getty Bisping beat Luke Rockhold to win the title
A serious eye injury forced him out of that planned fight in 2013, and at one stage it looked like he may not be able to step back into the cage again.
Bisping managed to overcome adversity though and make his return, but he admits that the last few years of his career have been a rollercoaster.
“All fighters want to be champion one day, but you have to be a realist and it got to a stage when I thought I’d never achieve that,” he said.
Sean Hansford/Manchester Evening News Bisping's first defence of his title will come in Manchester
“I had lost a few key match ups and even though I was still hungry and it was a desire of mine, I’d come to peace with knowing it may not happen.
“I’ve managed to finally win the belt and now I’m in a fortunate position where I’ve earned a decent living and I’m taking care of my family.
“When I was younger I was doing every dead end job under the sun and probably worked in half of the factories around Manchester, so I’m a lucky man.”

Tickets for UFC 204: Bisping vs Henderson go on sale on September 9 via Eventim and Ticketmaster.
“I’ll be making my first ever defence in Manchester so it’s what dreams are made of really,” he told MEN Sport.
“Henderson viciously knocked me out when we last fought and any fighter would want to get retribution and get a win back.
“I don’t underestimate anybody but I honestly believe that I’m too fast for him and too skilled. I’m getting better and better and now that I’m 37-years-old you would think it would be the opposite, but I’ve found my groove lately.
Getty Bisping fulfilled a dream by becoming UFC middleweight champion
Zuffa LLC via Getty Images And we got his wish by taking the UFC to Manchester for the first time
“He’s saying he will retire win or lose after this fight but it won’t be a fairy tale ending for him. He’ll be finishing his career on the back of a beating that he will have never experienced before.
“It was a terrible night at the office for me in 2009 so well done to him, but the guy that Henderson is facing on October 8 is not the same guy he fought back then.”
Bisping’s fight against Henderson is being shown live on pay-per-view in the USA, meaning that the bout will have to take place at 5am local time in Manchester.
Getty Bisping faced tough opposition in Luke Rockhold in his last outing
Getty Rockhold remains in UFC title contention
Josh Hedges/Zuffa The experience of Dan Henderson will offer a different challenge for Bisping
While the 37-year-old admits it is slightly frustrating for his fans, he insists that it will be a night to remember.
“It’s early hours of the morning and I know it is a bit disruptive, but we’ve done it before for Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe,” he said.
“The economics of the situation is that mixed martial arts is a US-driven sport, so a big title fight like this has to be on PPV.
“It’s something different so a part of me thinks that it’s going to be very cool. It’s a late one and there’s going to be some sore heads on Monday, but none sorer than mine after my fight!”

Silva, pictured holding the trophy, has confirmed his move to Leicester
Leicester target Adrien Silva has confirmed his £21million switch to the King Power from Sporting Lisbon in a media interview in Portugal.
Silva, who was part of Portugal's Euro 2016 winning squad, appeared to confirm the move when speaking to newspaper O Jogo.
He said: "Yes, I confirm this proposal. Leicester is very interesting and corresponds to my career goals.
"After the past 15 years at Sporting, this opportunity is something exceptional for me and can allow me to express and impose myself in another championship, and also to evolve in the Premier League, which is a stunning league.
"I love Sporting as a family and I dedicated myself to the club since I was 12 years old.

"With Sporting I lived many moments of happiness. I can say that I grew up with the club. At 27 years old, and after so many years of loyalty, I think that no one will criticise me for wanting to embrace this challenge."
The midfielder has scored 27 goals in 140 appearances for Sporting since breaking into the first team in 2007.
His Sporting teammate Islam Slimani also looks set to seal a move to the King Power, leaving the pitch in tears as the club beat Porto 2-1 on Sunday to maintain their 100 per cent start to the season.
Leicester are willing to pay £25million, but Sporting are keen on holding out for £34.1million, which the Foxes find undrealistic.

Slimani moved to Sporting in 2013 and has netted 31 times in 46 matches for the club.
His 27 goals last season helped his club to finish as runners-up behind Lisbon rivals Benfica in the Portuguese top flight.
Slimani has also won 43 caps for his country, scoring 23 goals.

After another eventful Celebrity Big Brother series drew to a close, it was Ricky Norwood who finished as the runner-up.
Since Tuesday, viewers have been voting to choose the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2016 and during tonight’s 9pm Channel 5 LIVE final, Emma Willis revealed that the former EastEnders star had ended his journey in second place.
Speaking to Emma Willis after his eviction Ricky said: "I thought I was going to be out last Friday and to come out in second makes no sense to me."
Channel 5 Ricky was amazed to finish in second place
Channel 5 The former EastEnders star was moved to tears as he left the house
He added: "It's been a fantastic challenge that has helped me grow."
It was super difficult in there and when tough times are happening I didn't know where to go or what to do.
To be in a nut house it just took different t pressure on me. watching the show is one thing, being in it is completely different. I know my word and i know my situation.
Channel 5 Ricky was emotional as he left the house
Channel 5 Ricky said the CBB house was the Bear house
There so much nastiness and angst that was unnecessary I didn't know how to deal with it. Every time i wanted to pop you take two steps back.
Talking about Bear, Ricky said: "It's been Bear's Big Brother house. The biggest switching point was when his ex Lillie came in. As soon as Lillie came in all his defenses broke, and I saw a man in pain, a man in aguish.
"For the first time it wasn't about air time, it wasn't about winding people up."

Elderly woman with insecurities given new confidence with a simple lesson we could all learn from
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

The actress Lauren Bacall once famously said "I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that."
You can moisturise, drink your two litres of water a day and get your eight hours of sleep every night.
But it's inevitable our lives will eventually show - not just on our faces - but over our whole bodies.
And although the general consensus often seems to be "ageing is bad", for the most part, we're with Lauren on this one.
As is Brandalyn Mae Porter, who was recently doing a manicure for a new, elderly resident .
"Your hands tell the story of your life."
Brandalyn posted the conversation she had with the unnamed lady on Facebook , where it quickly struck a chord with thousands.
"Today I painted a new residents nails at work and as we were going over colors, she mentioned she wanted clear.
"The only thought that came to my mind was 'CLEAR?! That's no fun.'
Lauren Bacall would be proud
"I asked her why she wanted clear and she said, 'My hands are ugly, I don't want to draw attention to them.'
"I then carefully responded with, 'Your hands tell the story of your life. They tell the story of love, of care and adventure. These hands have touched and held things that most people can only wish to one day.'
"And with that, she went with the color pink for her nails.
"Sometimes what we are so insecure with, others find beauty in."

Roma look to hijack Jack Wilshere's loan move to Bournemouth as they launch 11th hour bid

When in Rome: The Serie A giants are in for the Arsenal man
Roma have made a late bid to sign Jack Wilshere on loan, leaving Bournemouth fearing they could be gazumped.
Bournemouth were edging ahead of Crystal Palace in the race to land Wilshere from Arsenal until Roma intervened today.
Now the Cherries are worried that Roma may trump their offer because they are more glamorous and can offer European football, even if it is not the Champions League.
Wilshere met Cherries boss Eddie Howe and Palace's Alan Pardew yesterday for talks.
JMP/REX/Shutterstock Wilshere has a plethora of options on deadline day
Bournemouth were encouraged by the meeting and striker Benik Afobe has also been trying to persuade his former Arsenal pal to join him on the South Coast.
However Bournemouth have heard nothing more today and now Roma's intervention has left them worried.

X Factor's Simon Cowell left fuming as he screams for a hammer after terrible audition

www.mirror.co.uk

With a new series of X Factor set to get underway, viewers will be delighted to have the three original judges, Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell back together again.
Joining them is Nicole Scherzinger, but along with the judges comes a whole host of madcap auditionees that are going to bring the laughter.
In the first episode, viewers will meet 41-year-old security guard Zak Daven, who has an awesome blond mullet and some even more impressive dance moves.
Syco/Thames/Dymond Zak Daven did his best performance for the X Factor judges
Syco/Thames/Dymond Zak even took along his own album for the judges
Zak takes his own CD album along to the audition and sings one of the songs from it with his own backing music blaring out over the loud speaker.
Before he begins he tells the judges that his track, Fantasy, is a song that he wrote and it's a "trance Ibiza beach style song."
However, as he begins his performance, with some strange dance moves that onlookers say looks like he's about to take flight, the judges are bemused.
Syco/Thames/Dymond The security guard thinks he has the X Factor
Syco/Thames/Dymond Zak's single, Fantasy, was supposed to be a trance record
Zak doesn't actually sing a trance single at all, and instead sings a piano led version of Fantasy which confuses everyone, especially Simon.
After Cowell abruptly stops the performance, he begins getting angry at Zak's song still continuing to play as the judges speak to him.
For some reason, nobody can find the stop button so Simon stands up and storms across the room screaming: "Can somebody get me hammer? Why is this song still playing!?"
Syco/Thames/Dymond Simon was livid when Zak's song wouldn't stop playing

A man surprises his wife by telling HER that they are expecting a baby - even though he recently had a vasectomy.
Tim Brummel noticed his partner Rachel had been acting "a little bit pregnant ", complaining of fatigue, nausea and increased appetite.
The couple even joked about the idea, knowing it was impossible given Tim's procedure .
But the father of three was still suspicious - and realised he had not received his five month check-up to see if the vasectomy had been successful.

Newsflare Tim Brummel breaks the good news to his wife Rachel
When he discovered it hadn't worked, he realised it was entirely possible that baby number four could be on the way.
So the cunning hubby disabled the toilet's flush and then used a pregnancy test after Rachel had been.
The test was positive - and Tim filmed his wife's reaction when he broke the news.
He bought flowers and hid the test behind a card which read: "If you ever worried that life would be a bore, put that fear aside - you are now a mommy of four."
Newsflare He left some flowers and a card for his wife, with the positive test hidden behind
Newsflare He even disabled the toilet so he could get a wee sample from Rachel to take the test himself
When Rachel arrives, she is first shocked, and not a little bit suspicious.
"Shut up!," she cries, "What did you do? For real?"

Finally she breaks down into tears of joy before saying: "I don't know what to think. I'm a little bit in shock. I'm not quite sure if I should believe you."
Tim and Rachel, who live near Atlanta in the US, withheld the news of their baby joy from friends and family until they found out the sex of the new addition.
Newsflare At first Rachel is shocked but is soon delighted as the news sinks in
Newsflare They are now expecting their fourth child - another boy
They later broke the news to their existing brood of three boys that they were getting another brother.
But their oldest seems disappointed at the news, saying: "I wanted a sister."

Falling pregnant after a vasectomy is not uncommon, and there are several reasons why the procedure can fail.
The most common cause is having unprotected sex right after a vasectomy, before all the remaining live sperm has been "flushed" out of the system.
Less common is when the sperm tubes reconnect after the procedure, or when live sperm penetrate the soft scar tissue shortly after the operation.

Watford 1-3 Arsenal player ratings: Who was YOUR man of the match at Vicarage Road?
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Arsenal's star names eased the pressure from the club's supporters on manager Arsene Wenger with an excellent first-half display at Vicarage Road to earn them a first Premier League win of the season.
The Gunners had been beaten by Liverpool and held at Leicester in their opening two matches, but against a Watford side seemingly shorn of last season's organisation and intensity, they proved too good.
From the moment Alexis Sanchez was bundled over by Nordin Amrabat and the returning Santi Cazorla tucked home the penalty, there was only one winner.
Chile star Alexis doubled the Gunners advantage before Mesut Ozil - making his first start of the season - netted to make it 3-0 at half-time.
AFP/Getty Tucked home: Cazorla buries the penalty for Arsenal's first
Action Images via Reuters Nodding home: Alexis makes it 2-0...
Reuters ...And Mesut Ozil made it three
Watford new boy Roberto Pereyra struck a second half consolation for Walter Mazzarri's men, but Arsenal proved too good in Hertfordshire.
But who was the star man on show? And who was top of the flops?
Our man Darren Lewis has his say:
Player Ratings
Watford
Heurelho Gomes 4
No chance with that defence in front of him. Tough day.
Sebastian Prodl 4
AWOL for the second and third goals.
Reuters Difficult day: Prodl struggled to get a grip on the Gunners attack
Younes Kaboul 4
Given the runaround by Bellerin. Baptism of fire.
Christian Kabasele 5
Went close with a header first half but tough time at the back.
Jose Holebas 5
Not as much joy as he had against Chelsea last week.
REX/Shutterstock Chances amiss: Holebas and Deeney look at one another
Adlene Guedioura 4
Unable to build on his strong performance of last week.
Etienne Capoue 5
Lots of industry in midfield but Xhaka and Cazorla too good.
Valon Behrami 4
Dithered a bit too much on the ball at times.
Nordin Amrabat 4
Needless foul for the penalty. Downhill after that.
PA Wire I didn't do it: You did Nordin, you did
Troy Deeney 5
Lots of energy and work-rate but very little cutting edge.
Odion Ighalo 5
Went close with an overhead kick but still to sparkle as he did last season.
Subs used: Pereyra 7 (Guedioura 45), Janmaat 5 (Kabasele52), Success 6 (Amrabat 77)
Arsenal
Petr Cech 7
Fine reaction save to prevent a Monreal own goal. More fine saves second half.
Hector Bellerin 8
Had Kaboul on toast at times. Owned the right side.
2016 Getty Images Rapid: Bellerin impressed
Laurent Koscielny 6
Some shaky moments in the second half but solid overall in coping with the Watford attack.
Rob Holding 7
Growing into the role and a lot of improving to do but creating a favourable impression.
Nacho Monreal 6
Fortunate not to slice the ball into his own net from Amrabat’s cross.
Santi Cazorla 8
Took his penalty well. Lots of good invention.
REX/Shutterstock Impressed: Back in a deep role, Cazorla played very well
Granit Xhaka 8
Showing already where that £30million went. Played with a lot of authority.
Theo Walcott 6
Pace in abundance but decision-making not great today.
Mesut Ozil 8
Classy as ever and totally deserved his goal.
Reuters Stars of the show: Ozil and Alexis embrace
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 6
Have to admire his confidence with that chip.
Alexis Sanchez 9 MOTM
Man of the Match. Makes goals and scores them too.
Subs Used: Wilshere 6 (Ozil 70), Elneny 6 (Oxlade-Chamberlain 70), Gibbs 6 (Monreal 74)

Ben Leslie and Sarah Wheeler with some of their guests at 'Wedstock'
A cafe-owning couple celebrated their wedding by inviting an entire TOWN.
Ben Leslie and new wife Sarah repaid the community where they live for their help through a quiet winter by holding an open reception for all of the 18,000 people who live in their home town.
The party was held in Redhill's Memorial Park, Surrey, where the couple run the park's cafe, Pistachios.
They tied the knot at Nutfield Priory on Friday morning, before holding "Wedstock", which they hope will become an annual event in the town calendar.
Ben, 30, said: "It is awesome, absolutely awesome.
"People have really come together and hopefully more people will come down and enjoy it. It's all free and we have got some really good bands on.
SWNS Revellers enjoying the party
"When we joined Pistachios in October people in the area really got behind us in a really quiet winter.
"So we thought, if we are going to have a big party, we might as well make it for everyone."
Despite opening the biggest day of their lives up to a potential guest list of thousands of strangers, the couple weren't nervous.
Ben added: "Me and Sarah, this is exactly where we are in our lives.
"Getting married felt like the most normal thing in the world, the only awkward thing was having the focus on us.
"I have never been more comfortable with an idea."
The couple left the army last year to settle in the town and manage Pistachios.
While Ben runs the cafe, Sarah works as an electrician, helping out at the cafe at weekends.
A public festival may not have been how father-of-the-bride Antony Hunt always envisioned his daughter's wedding day - but he was a big fan.

He said: "It's great because I love rock music and festivals and I love being outdoors so it's a perfect place to get married.
"The weather is amazing too - it couldn't be better."
Workers on lunch breaks, kids on school holidays, councillors and mums and little ones on picnic rugs were among the "guests".
SWNS Workers, mums and kids on holiday all popped in
Earlswood mum Ciaran Pinn, 31, said: "We come here a lot and saw on Facebook this was happening so thought we'd come down.
"It's a really interesting idea."
Chloe Tiller, 27, there with her one-month-old baby, added: "It's quite a brave thing to do.
"The music is quite cool - I think an annual event like this would be good."

Meet the man left with amnesia after thug attack who fell in love all over again
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

When the man she’d shared her life with for more than a quarter of a century woke from a coma, Karen Taylor heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Gary Richmond had serious head injuries from an attack in the street and Karen had been told to say her goodbyes, warned that he might not make it through emergency surgery.
But her relief was tempered with sadness when Gary woke up with no recollection of their 26 years as a couple.
He couldn’t remember her name, let alone the daughter they had together.
“I could tell he recognised me but that was it,” says Karen. “I didn’t know if he would want to be with me still. It was quite traumatic.”
“Karen was a stranger to me,” explains Gary. “It was horrible and actually quite scary.”
Karen has used photos and mementoes as she tries to unlock Gary’s memory.
He still struggles, but three years after that night, Gary has fallen for her all over again and next year they’re finally getting married.
“Karen has been like my teacher,” he says. “I didn’t know anything about her and things had to be drummed into me. Last week I found out her favourite flowers are red roses so I bought her some.
"I’ve fallen in love with her again. It’s a beautiful feeling.”
Karen, also 46, says: “We’d always talked about marrying but after what we’ve been through it’s the perfect way to show how much we love each other.”
Karen met Gary in a nightclub in their home town of Bolton, Greater Manchester, in 1988.
“I dropped my straw, bent down to pick it up and when I came up he was there,” she remembers. “It was love at first sight.”
Left for dead: Gary in a coma hospital shortly after his attack in 2010.
Six weeks later they moved in together. “It was a bit of a whirlwind,” says Karen, who has a son, Derek, 29, from an earlier relationship. “We decided within weeks to get married and even booked the church. But the cost of the whole thing made us change our minds.”
Five years later, daughter Chelsey, now 22, was born. Then in 2007 Karen had a traumatic miscarriage. “I was lost in grief and we grew apart and stopped talking to each other,” she says.
“I needed some space and Gary went to stay with a friend. But I missed him like crazy and six months later we were back together.”
In June 2010 Karen got a call in the early hours to say Gary had been badly beaten up.
“It was the night of a World Cup match,” she recalls. “Gary had been trying to calm down a crowd of youths and they turned on him. When I got to the hospital, he’d had a seizure.”
Gary was transferred to a specialist unit for emergency surgery. “We were told to say goodbye,” she says.
Though he pulled through, Gary faced a long road to recovery. After three months of rehabilitation he came home and Karen put her master’s degree in social work on hold to care for him.
After the attack, police made arrests but the men were freed and his attackers have not been found.
No recollection: The thugs robbed Gary of all memories of his daughter Chelsey, now 22
Gary now has epileptic seizures and during one he broke both shoulders. It left him unable to feed or dress himself.
“But the memory loss is the worst thing,” says Karen. “He couldn’t remember our daughter’s birth or her childhood.
"It’s so upsetting because Gary was there at the birth and he was a wonderful hands-on dad. We had shared so much together but he didn’t really know me. Even physically, it was like sleeping with a stranger.”
Gary, who has a son Lewis and daughter Amy, both 25, from previous relationships, cannot go back to work as a painter and decorator any time soon but Karen has now returned to her job as liaison officer at Preston Hospital.
The couple hope to wed next January in Greece. “That was the month we met,” explains Karen. “And we’ve had our best holidays there.”
“I’m just so very proud that Karen has agreed to marry me,” says Gary. “We’ve been through a lot together and I’m a lucky man.”

Incoming: Lille are set to land the 22-year-old for a total £17million
Southampton have edged closer to the club record capture of Sofiane Boufal after striking a £17million deal with Lille.
Southampton agreed a fee with Lille yesterday and attacking midfielder Boufal is now set to travel to England for his medical.
The south coast club will pay Lille an initial £15.3million to sign the Moroccan, 22, with a further £1.7million due in add-ons.
Lille have also negotiated a significant sell-on clause into the deal, believed to be 15 per cent.

Reuters Making his mark: Claude Puel is set to break the Saints transfer record
Southampton remained in talks to finalise Boufal's terms last night though that is expected to be a formality.
The deal for Boufal will top the £15million Southampton paid for Italian striker Dani Osvaldo in August 2013.
Boufal scored 11 goals and set up five more last season before his season ended prematurely in May because of a knee injury.
He is due to be fit to return next month.

Simon Cowell uses Nicole Scherzinger to make a dig at Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber on the X Factor

Simon Cowell rubbed salt in the wounds of Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber after he joked that the composer should hire an X Factor contestant to replace Nicole Scherzinger in Cats.
The music mogul, 56, made the dig at the 68-year-old composer – who was "furious" when Nicole dropped out of his West End show to reprise her role as a judge – after 23-year-old KM from Thailand sang the pop star's favourite song, Memory, from the musical.
Nicole joined in with KM as he struggled to hit the notes of the ballad and after the rendition, Simon gave his verdict, saying: "Look,
I think it probably didn't go exactly where you thought it was going to go, but I like you. But this is not for you, so it is a no today.
Syco / Thames / Dymond Simon Cowell made fun of Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber on the X Factor
Daily Mirror lloyd Webber probably won't be as amused by the dig as Simon was
"Don't feel too bad, how many people get to sing Memory with this one."
Pointing at Nicole, he teasingly added: "Showed you up. If I was Andrew Lloyd Webber, this one out, that one in."
But Simon couldn't resist looking straight into the camera and giving viewers at home a cheeky wink, and saying “That's for you, Andrew.”
Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne cracked up but Nicole was notably embarrassed and covered her mouth before she exploded into a fit of giggles.

Simon's joke follows Andrew publicly slamming the brunette beauty for ditching her role as Grizabella in 'Cats' just a week before it was due to go on Broadway.
Elsewhere in The X Factor, 39-year-old Rebecca Ryan got four yeses after she wowed the judges with a moving rendition of Sarah

Two outraged mums say Aldi's new 'sensitive' baby wipes have brought their children out in rashes
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Two outraged mums say a change to Aldi’s popular sensitive wipes are bringing their children out in nasty rashes.
Beccie Saxon posted about her child’s reaction to the Mamia product on Facebook.
In her post, which has now been shared more than 10,000 times, Beccie says: “Warning to all mums that buy these wipes. I bought these wipes on the 13th and as soon as I opened them I knew they smelt different.
“After I had used them my little girl had a major rash. I didn’t connect the two straight away but after using cream it hadn’t gone and was still really bad, the worse it’s ever been.
Parents complain about the wipes on Facebook
“I changed her wipes to the old ones and as soon as I used them the next morning the rash had gone. I thought there may have been a mix up in the factory and I had got fragranced wipes instead.”
Now the parents are accusing the firm of failing to disclose changes to the product and misleading customers by using the same packaging, the Manchester Evening News reports
Beccie added: “After my partner emailed them they said they have actually changed supplier. Same packaging yet different suppliers and different ingredients. How can you still have what awards they have won on the front when it’s different. I now won’t be using them again.”
Aldi's new 'sensitive' baby wipes
In her letter of complaint Beccie says that the quantity of aloe and chamomile used appear to have changed and that the company should not be using ‘the same packaging as the old ones to mislead customers into thinking they are purchasing the same wipes that have been safe for their baby before’.
Mum Lisa Wear said her nine-month-old daughter Gracie had also come out in a rash after using the wipes.
Responding to Beccie’s post, she said: “I have been blaming everything from teething to my little girl eating something that didn’t agree with her.
Aldi's letter
“I didn’t think about the wipes because they haven’t affected her bum, just her face has a rash. I’m disgusted. They should put a notice up saying they have changed something.”
Lisa has now complained to Aldi and sent the company a photo of Gracie’s rash.
In its response to Beccie’s complaint, Steph Clancy, from Aldi’s customer services, said: “We have recently had a change in supplier for the baby wipes.”
She said that all Aldi products ‘undergo a comprehensive approval process before they are sold in stores’.
Responding to Beccie’s packaging complaint in a second letter, Aldi said: “In regards to the same packaging being used, I will pass this over to the buying department to look into with the supplier.”
In a statement Aldi said: “All of our baby and toddler products are rigorously tested before going on sale and all ingredients are clearly labelled on the packaging.
“As with all cosmetic products, there is the possibility of an individual intolerance to a particular ingredient. We are sorry to hear about Ms Saxon’s experience with this product and have raised this with our supplier.”

The end of the transfer window is approaching, with only hours left for clubs to bring in fresh faces. Managers across the land will be frantically trying to get deals over the line as they put the finishing touches to their squads for the new season. Arsene Wenger has finally brought in reinforcements - but is Lucas Perez a panic buy? And have they overpaid for Shkodran Mustafi? Chelsea have been frustrated by their inability to strengthen, so we'll keep an eye on the combustible Antonio Conte in his desperate search for new players and perhaps a return to the Bridge for David Luiz. It's all live, right here...
Blackburn Blackburn waiting on Mulgrew One coming from north of the border now. Ex-Celtic skipper Charlie Mulgrew has been offered a deal by Blackburn. Will he sign for Rovers? Owen Coyle’s men have just one point from five games so far. Mark Runnacles
Hull tweet Will the Tigers be busy again? Hull City had a busy old Tuesday. Ryan Mason arrived in a £13million club record move from Spurs, while David Marshall and Will Keane also arrived. Still Mike Phelan needs bodies, due to a) a small squad and b) a horrific collection of injuries. Will there be more through the doors at the KCOM today?

Brighton tweet West Brom defender joins Seagulls on loan The first done deal of deadline day! And it’s at the Amex on the south coast. Belgian left-back Sebastian Pocognoli has inked a loan move to join from the Baggies. He heads to join Chris Hughton’s side for the season.
Middlesbrough Adama Traore closing on Boro deal Here’s an interesting one. Adama Traore didn’t play anywhere near often enough for Villa last season, largely down to injury. But when the ex-Barcelona winger did appear, his electric pace and trickery usually led to something pretty glorious happening at least once a game. Anyway, today he’s closing on a move to Middlesbrough. He travelled to the north east last night for a medical. Should, should, go through today. Stephen Pond
Man United Manchester United's Bastian Schweinsteiger rejects Sporting Lisbon move 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. 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.

Whalo tweet Our man James Whaling's expectations for today So what are we looking at today? The window closes at 11pm tonight and our man James Whaling reckons that it could be a ferocious final day. Premier League spending has hit over £1bn already - and there’s much more coming.
Premier League Got, got, need...What do all 20 clubs need? Our yellow tie and socks are ironed and ready, we’re stocked up on snacks and it’s Wednesday - it’s Transfer Deadline Day. Clubs have had all summer to get their comings and goings done and the spending has gone over ONE BILLION POUNDS with the Premier League clubs buying big using the proceeds of the new domestic TV deal, but you know there’ll still be some furious work done in the minutes before the window closes at 11pm. Here, we take a look at what might still happen at each of the 20 top flight clubs and who could be wearing new colours tonight. Waltz over this way - It’s got all the deets you’re after at this early juncture.
Arsenal Gunners busy day...was yesterday So where to start? How about with Arsenal - busy boys on the penultimate day of the window. Shkodran Mustafi arrived in a £35million move, the German becoming the latest in the Valencia exodus. And Lucas Perez also joined, costing £17million from Deportivo. Calum Chambers went out, joining Middlesbrough on loan. It’s expected that apart from Jack Wilshere - set to leave on loan - they are pretty much done. Stuart MacFarlane

Andy Burton is charging his 18 phones. Deadline Day, summer 2016 is upon us. Managers up and down the country have just a handful of hours left before the window slams shut for good (or around about five months) so they better get cracking. There are some big names in the mix today with the likes of Jack Wilshere, Joe Hart, Islam Slimani and the one and only David Luiz all potentially on the move. We will have all the latest news, views, opinions, speculation, rumour, counter-rumour, innuendo and water cooler chatter right here throughout the day all the way up to the 11pm deadline so don’t touch that dial.

23:21 key event Deadline Day paper round-up It’s finally here. Jim White’s favourite day of the year is among us, as the Sky Sports News hyperbole machine gets set to be turned up to 11 ahead of tonight’s transfer deadline day. Spending this summer has already tipped the scales at more than £1billion but there should be plenty more cash being splashed in the final hours of the window. It’s going to be a long day packed full of gossip, rumours and transfer tittle-tattle, so what better way to start than with a look at what’s on the back pages today. Here is a round-up of the best from Wednesday’s papers... Juan Manuel Serrano Arce
23:13 Darren Lewis West Brom plot £32m Ighalo offer Tony Pulis is poised to make a £32million move for Watford striker Odion Ighalo before the transfer window closes. West Brom boss Pulis is planning to use the sale of Saido Berahino – set to finally move to Stoke – to part-fund the ambitious swoop. Should the move go ahead, it would see the Hornets rake in nearly 11 times the £3m they paid to take Ighalo from Spanish club Granada two years ago. The 27-year-old Nigerian scored 15 goals during an impressive spell last season. Getty
22:39 John Cross Arsenal get 22 offers for Wilshere Jack Wilshere is edging towards a season-long loan deal with Crystal Palace. Arsenal midfielder Wilshere has already held talks with Palace boss Alan Pardew, who is in pole position to sign the England international. The 24-year-old had a staggering 22 offers from clubs at home and abroad after we revealed that the Gunners were prepared to loan him out. Watford, West Brom and Bournemouth all made approaches on Tuesday, Roma’s sporting director Franco Baldini tried to take him to Italy and Spanish side Valencia are also keen. Wilshere, who has two years left on his current contract, wants to move to get regular football after being axed from the England squad. Palace appeals as it is still in London, near his family and children, while his dad Andy also believes a move to Selhurst Park would offer a fresh start. Arsenal do want a sizeable loan fee and for clubs to meet his £80,000-a-week wages, but Palace — who have signed Liverpool’s Christian Benteke, fellow striker Loic Remy from Chelsea and Newcastle’s England winger Andros Townsend this summer — are confident of getting a deal done.
22:32 Mustafi: Arsenal interest made me feel special Shkodran Mustafi has revealed his delight at joining Arsenal and admitted interest from the club made him feel “special”. Arsene Wenger took his time over the deal but eventually spent £35million on the World Cup winning defender. Released by Everton after David Moyes considered him not good enough, Mustafi knows the taste of rejection. So his Premier League return with Arsenal will taste especially sweet. “When a club comes in and shows interest, and it’s a club like Arsenal, that makes you feel special,” said Mustafi. “When I heard of the interest and I saw people trying to get me here - and the situation wasn’t the easiest one - but when you see that people really want to get you here, it gives the feeling that you’re really wanted. That’s why I’m here right now. Stuart MacFarlane

21:26 Ed Malyon Mustafi's journey to Arsenal, and how he almost quit football Shkodran Mustafi, by his own admission, arrived in England a child and left it as a man. He also left it for free, deemed unable to make the cut with Everton by David Moyes and allowed to sign for Sampdoria on a Bosman. Mustafi today returns to England a £35million man, one whose sole Toffees appearance - replacing Tony Hibbert for 15 minutes in a defeat to BATE Borisov - has been reduced to a quirk of history and it is fair to say that, since leaving these shores, Mustafi has never looked back. First at Sampdoria and then Valencia, the 24-year-old has proven himself in two of Europe’s top leagues. Now he returns ready to prove himself in the land where he grew up. “Football in England is very physical, about stature,” says Mustafi. “It’s very quick and a lot less tactical. Read on here...

21:08 Simon Bird Spurs make Sissoko offer Spurs have offered a cut-price deal for Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko – but the France star faces being a transfer window loser. Sissoko is keen to leave Tyneside but Newcastle’s £35m asking price has knocked back interested clubs including Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Everton. Spurs are the latest to lodge their interest but only value him at HALF of United’s price tag. Sissoko has yet to play for Rafa Benitez this season and is on international duty this week. Club sources say he is most likely to still be a Newcastle player by the end of the transfer window on Wednesday. That will mean a big rehabilitation job for Benitez, who has always been keen for him to stay. AFP/Getty

Speaking about his new signing, Arsène Wenger said: “He is at the right age. He has good experience. “He is a very focused player who can play with the ball as well. We have taken a great player but have prepared well for the future.” Read the full story here...

Meanwhile, Peterborough have failed in their attempts to sign Tykes midfielder George Moncur on loan. Posh were keen to take the 23-year-old son of former West Ham star John but terms could not be agreed. Barnsley’s Alfie Mawson, 22, has completed his £5million move to Swansea. John Powell
20:09 key event Boro loan Chambers from Arsenal Arsenal defender Calum Chambers has joined Middlesbrough on a season-long loan deal. Newly promoted Boro fought off interest from a number of clubs including Roma and Hull to secure the 21-year-old’s services. Speaking about his new signing, manager Aitor Karanka said: “I’m really pleased. “It’s a position where we’ve been working towards bringing the right player in. “We haven’t been in a hurry because Calum was the player we were waiting for, and he’s going to help us a lot. “I’d like to say thank you to him because we know he had another offer, but he wanted to come here. That’s important and we’re looking forward to working with him.”
Chambers joined the Gunners for £16million from Southampton in 2014 but has fallen down the pecking order in the years that followed.
19:55 Darren Lewis Chelsea make £32m David Luiz bid Chelsea have made a sensational late move to sign David Luiz from Paris Saint-Germain in a £32million deal. The approach comes with Luiz out of favour under the French champions’ new coach Unai Emery. Luiz, a 29-year-old Brazil international, was sold by Chelsea for a world-record £50million two years ago. Emery, after succeeding Laurent Blanc as PSG coach this summer, is understood to have told 29-year-old Luiz that he does not see him as one of his first-choice centre-halves. Icon Sport via Getty
19:42 Hamish Mackay Arsenal first contacted Lucas in July Lucas Pérez has revealed Arsenal first contacted him about a move when the transfer window opened two months ago. The Spanish forward completed his £17million move to north London on Tuesday, but Arsenal’s interest was registered at the beginning of July. “There was some contact when the transfer window opened,” revealed Lucas. “As always in football, clubs have to evaluate what they need, but they showed interest when they got in contact. “Things happened more quickly towards the end of the window so it could be made official. “I was really happy and flattered when I heard about Arsenal’s interest. I was very hopeful to get the chance to come here.” Arsenal FC via Getty
19:35 key event Watford sign Chelsea's Kenedy Watford have signed Kenedy on loan from Chelsea. The versatile Brazilian will spend the season on loan with Walter Mazzarri’s side.
19:20 Neil McLeman Benteke: I did not fail at liverpool Christian Benteke has insisted he did not fail at Liverpool as he prepares to relaunch his career for club and country. The Belgium striker, who signed for Crystal Palace for £27m, said: “I am eager to show what I can do at both levels. Crystal Palace is the right choice for me. It is a project where I can show my qualifies. I want to play above all and that is why I left Liverpool. But I don’t think I failed there. The coach (Jurgen Klopp) and I did not have the same vision. I did not fit into the system of play he uses. I was bought by his predecessor (Brendan Rodgers).” Benteke, who made his Eagles debut in the weekend draw with Bournemouth, said: “Palace was not the only choice on offer to me. I could have earned more elsewhere but I am now 25, a key age. I absolutely want to show what I can do this season. Alan Pardew knows what I can do. He knows that I had a good pre-season with Liverpool and I will not need a lot of time to be ready to play.”

19:09 Swansea sign Alfie Mawson Swansea have signed defender Alfie Mawson from Barnsely . The 22-year-old moves for an undisclosed fee and has signed a four-year deal with the Premier League side. An agreement between the two clubs was reached on Friday, but personal terms were not finalised until today. Mawson turned out 58 times for Barnsley last season after he signed from Brentford, as the South Yorkshire side won the Football League Trophy and the League One play-off final.
18:55 Everton deal could depend on Liverpool defender Everton’s hopes of signing Lamine Kone could rest on Sunderland’s interest in Liverpool’s Mamadou Sakho, reports Phil Kirkbride in the Liverpool Echo. Black Cats boss David Moyes has remained insistent he would not allow Kone to leave unless a replacement was found. And Reds centre-half Sakho has emerged as a loan target for Sunderland. Sources in the North East say Moyes is interested in the 26-year-old. But having already turned down Stoke City and West Brom, it’s unclear whether the France international would agree to a move to the Premier League strugglers. Should Sakho agree to a move to the Stadium of Light then it should boost Everton’s chances of signing Kone. Ian Horrocks

Traumatised widow raped by sick John Scanlon tragically dies weeks after seeing him jailed

Kathy in her hey day in the Garrison Pub
A traumatised pensioner who was pulled from a mobility scooter and raped in her own home has died just weeks after seeing her attacker jailed.
Kathy Lane, a disabled 69-year-old just 4ft 7ins tall, did not fight or scream during her horrific ordeal at the hands of John Scanlon because she feared the slaughterhouse worker would turn on her beloved Yorkshire terrier, Molly.
The elderly lady, a former school crossing warden, never recovered from the sickening February attack and the ordeal of Scanlon’s trial.
Petrified and bemused, she clutched a toy - a pink woollen pig - while giving evidence.
That toy will be placed in her coffin, the Birmingham Mail reports.
John Scanlon
She lived in fear, too scared to leave her home and tortured by flashbacks of the degradation Scanlon subjected her to.
The widow died on August 19 from a stroke.
Her family insisted her death was the result of her nightmarish ordeal at the rapist’s hands.
They also requested that her name was revealed to the public after her life effectively ended when 46-year-old Scanlon stormed into her flat.
She swapped a loving, close-knit community in Small Heath, where she was popular and well-known, for a Nechells tower block often invaded by lager-swilling lowlifes who prowled the corridors.
None stooped as low as twisted Scanlon, sentenced to life last month for the rape.
Throughout the three-day Birmingham Crown Court case, he betrayed not a flicker of emotion, not a sliver of contrition.
Kathleen Lane with sister Margaret Byrne
Scanlon, from Shard End, is the shuffling embodiment of every woman’s nightmare.
Before channelling his depravity on Kathy, the monster with bulging, soulless eyes, sexually assaulted another vulnerable woman living in sheltered accommodation.
He was jailed for 42 months for that crime.
Kathy’s family had to endure Scanlon’s cruel lies, thrown out in a bid to save his worthless, tattooed skin.
When he claimed that he and disabled Kathy – a woman unable to walk, crippled by heart and lung disease – were an “item” and enjoyed a consensual sexual relationship, one relative had to be restrained from rushing the dock.
Seared by bitterness, Kathy’s large family made no bones about their motive for approaching the Sunday Mercury, the newspaper that first broke the terrible story.
Niece Carrie Byrne, from Sheldon, said: “He killed her, we’ve no doubt about that.
"You may think it’s terrible, but we pray fellow prisoners will read this; we just pray the cell door will be left open.
Kathleen with a cake from her nephew saying well done for giving evidence
"We want him to feel a piece of the pain and fear he put Kathy through.”
Her sister, Michelle, nervously fingering photographs of her beloved aunt, said: “We refuse to call him an animal because not even animals stoop that low. Humanity is going to pot.
"If he is let out – and I don’t think he should ever be let out – I want him branded, physically branded, with what he did.”
Kathy, a woman who possessed a wicked sense of humour despite her catalogue of health problems, fell prey to prowling Scanlon as she entered Willow House following an early morning shopping trip.
He did not live in the block, he simply stalked the labyrinth of corridors, badgering its residents for loose change.
Leery with lager, he first pestered Kathy for cash, then waited at the door of her third floor flat, her tidy home of eight years.
The terrified OAP was lifted from her mobility scooter and raped on her own bed.
Throughout, Kathy pleaded: “I can’t breathe.”
When the horror finally ended, Scanlon calmly took one of Kathy’s cigarettes and smoked it in front of his victim.
He helped himself to £30 from her purse and two phones before leaving.
But Kathy’s ordeal did not end on February 4.
Proud and trusting, she had to endure the humiliation of being tested for AIDS and hepatitis.
“She just went downhill,” said Carrie, 40.
“Kathy was good at putting on a brave face, but you could see by the way she deteriorated the damage that had been done.
“She talked about what had happened – that was Kathy, she was a very practical person.
"She’d ask: ‘How could someone do that to a woman?’
“Before it happened, she had some mobility. That completely went because of what Scanlon did to her. She wouldn’t come to the door, she was petrified of going out.
"Everything that reminded her of what happened had to go – we even replaced the mobility scooter.”
Her family – Kathy was one of ten children – could only watch helplessly as the elderly victim, once bright and bubbly, slipped into a silent world inhabited by Scanlon’s demons.
Her wedding day with husband Bob Lane in the early eighties
“She used to be a joy to be around,” said 46-year-old Michelle, forcing a smile. Her second home was The Garrison pub.”
She was certainly larger than life.
Kathy and husband Robert, a long-distance lorry driver who died four years ago, lived for 30 years in Garrison Lane, Small Heath.
She held down a variety of jobs, including working as a dinner lady and crossing patrol warden at Marlborough Junior School.
“She was very outspoken,” said Carrie, “and she loved her swear words.She even taught her budgie to swear!
"That was Kathy, she was fun to be around. They couldn’t have children, so she treated her animals like babies.
Birmingham Mail Sisters Michelle and Carrie Byrne
“She loved Tom Jones – adored Tom Jones. She loved the song Bobby’s Girl by Susan Maughan and when she was dying at Heartlands Hospital I held my phone to her ear and played it.”
In a handful of sadistic minutes, Scanlon turned Kathy into a pale shadow of the fun-loving, if feisty, woman so adored by her family.
“She was petrified, absolutely petrified, about going to court,” revealed Carrie.
“Kathy loved pig ornaments and had a house full of them.
"My son bought her a pink teddy, a pig, and she held it tightly in the witness box.
"When it was over, she just seemed to give up.
"I think she was just waiting to see him put behind bars.
“We had to sit there and listen to him saying he had slept with Kathy seven or eight times.
"Wasn’t raping her enough without trying to drag her name through the dirt?
"When he said that, if I could have jumped through the box and got to him, I would have. I watched him and there was nothing.
"He just sat there, with his arms folded and stared at the judge. There was absolutely no remorse.
"We have been told he can apply for parole in nine years. It’s not enough. He gets three meals a day.
Birmingham Mail Her family are speaking out following the 69-year-old's death
"Kathy couldn’t even cook a meal after what he did to her.”
The pensioner suffered a massive stroke at the Horrell Road, Sheldon, bungalow she moved to following the crime.
She slipped away within hours of being rushed to hospital.
“To the day she died, Kathy carried the bruises from what he did to her,” said Michelle.
“There was a dramatic decline after she gave evidence, she became very upset.
"He put her through that. He didn’t even have the guts to admit what he did.”

Schoolgirl drugged and raped on her 10th birthday was chopped up and burned in bathtub 'by own family'

A schoolgirl's dismembered body was discovered in a burning bathtub after she was allegedly drugged and raped on the day after her 10th birthday, it's reported.
Victoria Martens was injected with methamphetamine, sexually assaulted, strangled and stabbed before her remains were partially wrapped in a blanket and set on fire, police said.
Experienced detectives described the killing as the "most gruesome act of evil" they have ever seen.
The girl's 35-year-old mother Michelle Martens, her boyfriend Fabian Gonzales, 31, and his cousin Jessica Kelley, also 31, were all arrested on Wednesday night.
Handout Victoria Martens, 10, was found dismembered and on fire in a bath at her home
Officers were called to a disturbance at Arroyo Villas Apartment Complex in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where they saw a cloud of smoke wafting from the bathroom, the Albuquerque Journal reports.
Inside they were met with the horrifying scene as the youngster lay reportedly burning in the bathtub, while parts of her body were found in a plastic bag in a laundry hamper and the bedroom floor was stained with blood.
Martens and Gonzales, who had been dating for around a month after meeting online, face multiple charges including child abuse resulting in great bodily harm.
Kelley had reportedly been allowed to stay at Martens home after she was released from prison four days earlier.
A police report alleges that Martens admits Gonzales and Kelley gave the girl methamphetamine “to calm her down so they could have sex with her.”
KRQE Michelle Martens, 35, has been arrested and charged with the murder of her daughter, aged 10
Gonzales sexually assaulted the little girl as Kelley covered the girl’s mouth and Martens watched, it's alleged.
She claimed Gonzales then strangled Victoria and Kelley stabbed her before the two of them dismembered the girl’s body and Martens told police she was not involved in the death.
The incident is said to have happened on the day Victoria was due to celebrate her 10th birthday, CBS news reports.
Albuquerque Police Department Chief Gordon Eden said in statement: “This homicide is the most gruesome act of evil I have ever seen in my career.
"A complete disregard of human life and betrayal by a mother. So many are in need of the support and prayers of our community.”
Fabian Gonzales, 31, had been dating Victoria's mum for around a month, it's reported
Police spokesman Tanner Tixier emotionally told reporters the girl's body was so mutilated that investigators were unsure how she died.
They believe she may have died from asphyxiation or stab wounds, but are awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination.
Both Gonzales and Kelley, who remains in hospital after allegedly jumping from a balcony as she tried to flee the scene, have criminal records, while the mother has no previous convictions.
The trio appeared in court where a judge set the bond for both at $1 million cash only.

Emmerdale Holly Barton actress Sophie Powles QUITS just months after returning to the ITV soap

Emmerdale actress Sophie Powles has quit.
The star, who plays troubled Holly Barton, has reportedly told bosses she's leaving after only retuning to the ITV soap in March.
By the sound of things, producers are wasting no time in writing her out of the show and have made her departure the centre of one of the major story-lines in the coming months.
"She’s already filmed her final scenes which are being kept under wraps," a source told The Sun.
ITV Emmerdale
“Sophie has enjoyed returning as Holly but she never saw coming back as a full-time thing. So she’s back off into the real world again."
The source added: “She was looking at other roles after she was finished travelling, but Emmerdale asked her back and it seemed silly to turn it down, so she returned."
ITV Moira Dingle [NATALIE J ROBB] tells Holly Barton [SOPHIE POWLES] shes be working at the garage to pay back her debts and Hollys not happy when Cain tells her she's going to be washing cars
Sophie's departure comes just weeks after Emmerdale legend Kelvin Fletcher announced he was leaving after playing Andy Sugden for 20 years.
Opening up about his decision to leave, the actor said: "It’s been incredible twenty years. I am so grateful to Emmerdale. Throughout that period I have always had a real sense of fulfilment and purpose.

“What started out as a hobby at six years old – I was then able to do something like that every day on a professional platform on one of the country’s greatest shows. I have been extremely lucky.
“Looking back over 20 years it has been a roller coaster and for me it’s give me passion to leave and continue.”
Mirror Online has contacted Emmerdale for comment.

Hull City sign Ryan Mason from Tottenham for club record fee

Hull City have signed Ryan Mason from Tottenham for a club record fee.
The Tigers have not revealed the exact cost of the 25-year-old, but did confirm it was more than the £10million they paid for previous record signing Abel Hernandez.
"I'm delighted and excited to be here," said Mason.
"I can't wait to get started and I see this as a massive opportunity for me."
Mason, who made his one and only England appearance last year, joins the likes of Tom Huddlestone, Jake Livermore and Michael Dawson in swapping White Hart Lane for the KC Stadium.

And Hull are also keen to bring Bournemouth winger Max Gradel to the club.
The 28-year-old winger is unhappy at his lack of action this season and is understood to have expressed his feelings to boss Eddie Howe.
Gradel, an Ivory Coast international, has played for just nine minutes in the Premier League so far.
He came on as a late substitute in the 3-1 defeat to Manchester United on the opening weekend. He also started - and scored in - the club’s 3-1 League Cup win at Morecambe last Wednesday.

The tiny pterosaur has a wingspan of 'just' 4,9ft making it tiny in the flying stakes - but find is a big discovery as it proves smaller winged creatures mixed it with larger cousins

Fossil of 'Little Dragon' that lived 77 million years ago rewrites the history of our prehistoric skies
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
A tiny pterosaur from the age of flying giants is causing a flap among scientists.
The rare reptile, with a wingspan of "only" 1.5 metres (4.9ft), would have been dwarfed by its cousins from the Late Cretaceous era 77 million years ago.
Some of them were much larger, with wingspans of up to 11 metres (36 feet), making them the size of a small plane.
But what the new specimen, thought to belong to the azhdarchoid pterosaur family, lacks in size it makes up for in terms of scientific importance.
Before the discovery in Canada, researchers thought small pterosaurs had been unable to compete with early birds in the Late Cretaceous.
First dodo skeleton in 100 years to be sold at auction 354 years after bird went extinct
PA Artist impression issued by University of Southampton of how the newly identified small-bodied azhdarchoid pterosaur from British Columbia would have looked like
Lead scientist Elizabeth Martin-Silverstone, from the University of Southampton, said: "This new pterosaur is exciting because it suggests that small pterosaurs were present all the way until the end of the Cretaceous, and weren't out-competed by birds.
"The hollow bones of pterosaurs are notoriously poorly preserved, and larger animals seem to be preferentially preserved in similarly aged Late Cretaceous ecosystems of North America. This suggests that a small pterosaur would very rarely be preserved, but not necessarily that they didn't exist."
Dinosaur hunters find near-complete Tyrannosaurus Rex skull in northern Montana
Fossil fragments from the pterosaur were found on Hornby Island, British Columbia, in 2009. A detailed study of the fossils has only now been published in the Royal Society journal Open Science.
Pterosaurs - which were not flying dinosaurs - were the earliest vertebrates to develop powered flight, pre-dating birds by millions of years.
For some 140 million years they ruled the skies. Eventually they were replaced by birds, which evolved from bird-like dinosaurs.
Azhdarchoid pterosaurs were a group of short-winged flying reptiles that shared similarities with birds, including a toothless "beak".
Co-author Dr Mark Witton, a pterosaur expert from the University of Portsmouth, said: "The specimen is far from the prettiest or most complete pterosaur fossil you'll ever see, but it's still an exciting and significant find.
"It's rare to find pterosaur fossils at all because their skeletons were lightweight and easily damaged once they died, and the small ones are the rarest of all. But luck was on our side and several bones of this animal survived the preservation process.
Giant 4 foot long Tyrannosaurus Rex skull unearthed by museum is 66 million years old
"Happily, enough of the specimen was recovered to determine the approximate age of the pterosaur at the time of its death. By examining its internal bone structure and the fusion of its vertebrae we could see that, despite its small size, the animal was almost fully grown.
"The specimen thus seems to be a genuinely small species, and not just a baby or juvenile of a larger pterosaur type."

Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal can improve further despite easy win over Watford

Arsene Wenger has claimed Arsenal are still not up to speed and could still improve - despite romping past Watford today.
The Gunners boss watched on as Alexis Sanchez in particular ran riot against the Hornets at Vicarage Road.

Sanchez then turned provider as he picked out Mesut Ozil loping into the box and the German headed past a motionless Heurelho Gomes.
Watford battled back in the second half and pulled one back through new signing Roberto Pereyra.
Arsenal saw out the game to win 3-1 and secure their first win of the season, but Wenger felt his team ran out of steam in the closing stages.

“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.
(Photo: Reuters)
“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."
The Arsenal manager has spent more than £50 million on defender Shkodran Mustafi and striker Lucas Perez to help bolster his ranks.
“We have bought two players Mustafi and Perez," he revealed. "They will integrate into the team now and we will help them join squad.
(Photo: Getty)
"We had to work very hard to get signings done. We have not got any plans for anyone else now.”
The new recruits could make their debuts at home to Southampton on September 10 after the international break.

Reinvigorated Raheem Sterling back enjoying his football thanks to "massive help" Pep Guardiola
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Raheem Sterling has got his mojo back thanks to his Pep talk.
Sterling’s upbeat mood when he met up with England yesterday was in contrast to how down he felt after his poor Euros when he was made a scapegoat for the nation’s disappointment.
The Manchester City winger says Pep Guardiola has played a key role in rebuilding his confidence by showing total faith in him.
Guardiola rang Sterling during the Euros to tell him he believed in him and the £49million forward is grateful for his support.
“It was a big lift,” he said. “The manager’s been in the game a long time, won stuff, worked with young players, worked with great players.

“He knows how to get the best out of his players and he’s been a massive help. And not just for me, but the other players as well, the whole team.
“It’s good to have a manager who not just talks to me, but makes the whole team feel really welcome. He makes everyone feel they are all one, whether you are starting or not.
“It’s a challenge, yeah. He puts his system into play, likes a certain way to play and when everyone is working hard together it’s a plus, and you get the rewards for it.”

The reinvigorated Sterling has responded with two goals and one assist in City’s opening three league wins.
“I didn’t come into the season thinking ‘I want to show everyone’, but rather just to concentrate on my football, that’s the most important thing,” said the former Liverpool star.
“People will talk and stuff like that, but the most important thing for me was to come in and do well under the new manager and impress here. I knew if I kept working hard, I would get my chances.
“I’m enjoying my football, I’m enjoying winning games and I’m working hard to continue doing that. This is the season you will see me working my hardest, that’s for sure.”

He hasn’t forgotten France and says he tries to take something from every experience, good or bad, to help him develop.

“It’s something I will definitely take into every season with me to remember that sort of stuff and just to move forward from it,” he said.
“It’s part and parcel of the game. Sometimes you do well and sometimes you’re not at your best.
“I just made a promise, something I said to myself that when I come back at the start of this season, that I would work hard and try to be as consistent as I can.”
And it’s a promise Sterling is keeping.

Alan Hawe was found dead along with his wife and three sons
This is the first picture of a teacher found dead suspecting of slaughtering his wife and three sons in a murder-suicide at the family home.
Alan Hawe and wife Clodagh 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.
Police are understood to believe Mr Hawe stabbed his wife and three children to death before turning the knife on himself.
A worried relative raised the alarm before the bodies were found in Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan, Ireland at around 10.45am this morning.
Police say the family had been seen in the local community yesterday and officers had 'no reason to suspect anything was untoward' prior to the incident.
PA Five hearses took coffins from the family home
PA The bodies of Alan and Clodagh Hawe and their sons, Liam, Niall and Ryan, were found this morning
The Garda confirmed they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the five deaths.
Assistant Commissioner John O'Disscoll told a press conference: "We believe all the answers are in that house and the most likely scenario is that one person in that house took the life of others.
"Nothing had happened prior to this grim discovery which gave rise to the Garda having any suspicion anything was untoward."
PA It is believed Mr Hawe, a primary school deputy principal, and his school teacher wife were discovered downstairs in the house near Ballyjamesduff
PA One of the hearses leaves the scene at Oakdene following the tragedy
Castlerahan National School, where Mr Hawe worked and the three boys went to school, released a statement expressing the shock of staff and pupils.
It said: "At lunch time today we learnt of the tragic deaths the Hawe family.
"This is a terrible tragedy for the family, our school and our community. We are deeply saddened by this event. Our sympathy and our thoughts are with the extended family and friends.
"Alan was a valued member of our school staff and community. Niall and Ryan were pupils in our school and Liam was a past pupil. They were wonderful children who will be greatly missed by all who knew them.
"Our school has implemented our Critical Incident Management Plan."

The principal of Castlerahan primary school, Anne Foley, where Mrs Hawe worked revealed that they heard the tragic news this afternoon.
She said: "We learned this afternoon of the death of our colleague Clodagh Hawe.
"This is a terrible tragedy for the families, schools and the communities involved.
"We are deeply saddened by this event. Our sympathies and thoughts are with Clodagh’s family and friends.
"Clodagh was a much loved and valued teacher in our school and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. "
Locals said the father was believed to be from Co Kilkenny originally and was a deputy principal at a national school in Co Cavan.
His wife was believed to be from Co Cavan.
The family, who have all been named locally, were involved with the Gaelic Games Association (GAA) club.
Google Streetview A press conference was held at Ballyjamesduff Garda Station
PA The hearses were pictured leaving the scene today as an investigation got under way
Paddy Smith, a local councillor, said the deaths have been very distressing to all who knew the family in the tight-knit community.
"This has come as complete and utter shock to everybody in the area and everybody who knew the family because they were a very steady, hard working family," he said.
"It is a complete shock, out of the dark, people are just unable to grasp or comprehend what has happened."
Mr Smith added: "They are a very hard working and tight knit community, people just don't know what to say, they are shell shocked at this terrible tragedy."
It comes as investigators have said they believe the family were most likely victims of a murder-suicide.
Their bodies were discovered at the house in Oakdene Downs in the townland of Barconey at around 10.45am.
Garda assistant commissioner John O'Driscoll said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
"We believe all the answers are within that house - so therefore the most likely scenario is that one person in that house may have caused the death of the others," he said.
"All the circumstances will be explored but as it stands at the moment that is the position."
Mr O'Driscoll described the case as very sensitive.
Investigating gardai have found no evidence that a firearm was used in the incident.
A technical examination being carried out at the property - which has been sealed off as a crime scene - and follow up post mortem examinations are expected to give a more definitive answer as to the cause of the deaths.
A number of objects found in the house are also being subjected to "detailed technical examination".
The family had been mixing with the local community on Sunday and did not raise any suspicions as to what would later happen, Mr O'Driscoll told reporters.
Ah jesus no, that's absolutely shocking. :( RIP to that poor family in Cavan. Dreadfully sad. — Chris Hardiman (@AJoyForever83) August 29, 2016
Dreadful reports emerging regarding deaths of family of five, incl three boys, in Ballyjamesduff, Cavan — Cormac O'Keeffe (@CormacJOKeeffe) August 29, 2016
"Nothing had happened prior to this grim discovery this morning that gave rise to anyone - including An Garda Siochana - having any suspicion that anything was untoward and this family were engaged with the community and seen yesterday," he said.
"None of the activity and interaction with other people gave rise to any suspicion as to what was to happen."
The alarm was raised shortly this morning after someone, thought to be a relative, called to the house but got no answer.
Two officers dispatched to the scene from Monaghan Garda station gained entry to the house and made the grim discovery.
Investigators are continuing to talk to neighbours and the extended family of the victims to piece together clues as to what happened.

Leicester's Jamie Vardy opens goal account for the season then reveals they are desperate to silence the doubters
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Jamie Vardy reckons he and Leicester will thrive proving the doubters wrong again this season after normal service was resumed at the champions.
England striker Vardy broke his duck for the campaign with the opener in Saturday's 2-1 home win over Swansea , after notching 24 goals last term in the Foxes’ triumph despite 5,000-1 odds.
Vardy had failed to not just score previously, but even get any efforts on target in their opening League games — a 2-1 defeat at promoted Hull and then a 0-0 with visitors Arsenal.
But the 29-year-old blasted in his first goal in emphatic fashion having seized on Danny Drinkwater’s lofted volley over the Swans' naively high back-line.
It was a trademark counter-attacking goal, with Vardy and Drinkwater linking up again as six of the midfielder’s eight Premier League assists have been for the striker.
In pictures — Leicester 2-1 Swansea:
The forward celebrated by running straight to the travelling Welsh fans, who had been taunting him. Vardy, remember, scored England's first goal as they fought back from 1-0 down to beat Wales at the Euros in June.
He hopes this result is a clear sign that he and the rest of Claudio Ranieri’s men are capable of replicating their best form.
Vardy said: “It’s getting a bit too frequent, isn’t it? Drinky to Vards again!
“I was playing on the last man, so it was the perfect ball for me to get past the defender and smash the ball.
“Every time I got the ball or got tackled, their fans were cheering — so I just thought I’d give them a bit back and showed them the back of my shirt when I scored.
Vardy's first goal of the season — and celebration in front of jeering away fans:

“I possibly could have had a few more, but the main thing is we’ve got the win.
“That was a bit more like it. We all knew we were poor in that first game but we managed to step it up against Arsenal and carried that on.
“We weren’t meant to win the league and we’re not meant to win it this year either. But we know we can hurt teams. People saw that last year so we’ll just keep going out on that pitch enjoying ourselves.”
Getty Vardy started the England fightback in Lens after Gareth Bale's first half goal...
Getty ...before Daniel Sturridge famously won the match in stoppage time
Skipper Wes Morgan volleyed in from close range to make it 2-0 after a corner fell kindly for him in the second half.
But with Swansea on the ropes, Riyad Mahrez had a penalty saved by Lukasz Fabianski after Shinji Okazaki went down.
It made for a tense finale as they pulled a goal back after keeper Kasper Schmeichel went off injured and Leroy Fer headed in.
But Vardy isn’t about to demand to take penalties ahead of last season’s PFA Player of the Year Mahrez, who had another quiet game overall.
Getty Captain Morgan doubled Leicester's lead from a corner...
REUTERS ..and although Leroy Fer flew through the teeming rain to get one back...
Reuters ...Swansea were very much second best on the day
He added: “That’s up to the boss. I won’t be running up and trying to take the next one.”
Mahrez trudged away after his missed spot-kick, and the Algerian is yet to live up to his star billing from last term.
Ranieri reflected: “Sometimes when he touches the ball something special happens, sometimes not. But he is always our star. I think he is getting better from the first match and I am very confident in him.
“Of course when he lost the penalty he is a very sensitive player, but I said, ‘Don’t worry – next time it will be better’.
Getty Mahrez failed from the penalty spot once again...
Plumb Images/Leicester City FC via Getty ...and was a peripheral figure generally...
Plumb Images/Leicester City FC via Getty ...but Ranieri's faith in his PFA Player of the Year is unwavering
“I asked him to cut inside to make some good combinations with Drinkwater and Vardy and he did a very good job. Also, he defended very well.
"I am pleased with his performance.”
Which is more than Swans boss Francesco Guidolin must feel about his side’s limp display, despite Fer's late goal which put a gloss on their poor efforts.

Hollywood actor Gene Wilder has died aged 83, it was announced by his family tonight.
It was confirmed by the star's nephew Jordan Walker-Pearlman that he had passed away on in Stamford, Connecticut, from complications from Alzheimer's disease.
He had previously been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1989.
One of the first to pay tribute to the star was acting and writing partner Mel Brooks, who wrote on Twitter: "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."
Getty Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka
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.

An icon of the silver screen, the double Academy award nominee was perhaps best known for his iconic role as the eccentric Willy Wonka in the big screen adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic children's book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Released in 1971, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory has been cemented as a classic for generations to come, with Wilder's manic and fantastic Wonka standing the test of time.
A re-make wasn't attempted until Tim Burton's 2005 movie, starring Johnny Depp with many claiming Wilder's depiction was too iconic.
While the Roald Dahl classic was his most iconic hit, Wilder had a long and illustrious career before and after the release.
Favouring neurotic and eccentric roles ho was nominated for the role of Leo Bloom in 1968's The Producers, which was followed in 1974 with a nod for adapted screenplay along with Mel Brooks for Young Frankenstein.
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.

After graduating from Iowa University in 1955, where he studied Communication and Theatre Arts, the aspiring actor headed to Britain where he briefly studied at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in Bristol.
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.”
Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little in Blazing Saddles in 1974
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.

Turning to directing in the late 1980s a string of hits followed including the Woman in Red and Haunted Honeymoon.
In the early '90s he appeared in his last film with Richard Pryor and another comedy, "Funny About Love."
Towards the end of his career he enjoyed a stint on sitcom Will and Grace, appearing as Mr Stein from 2002 - 2003 for which he won an Emmy.
He last acted in a couple of episodes of "Will and Grace" in 2002-03 as Mr. Stein, winning an Emmy.
While he moved away from the screen, a career as a writer blossomed.
In 2001 he read from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as part of a special benefit performance held at the Westport Country Playhouse to aid families affected by the September 11 terror attacks.
That was followed in 2005 by the release of his personal memoir Kiss Me Like a Stranger: My Search for Love and Art, which covered the period from his childhood to the heartbreaking death of his second wife Gilda Radner in 1989.
This was followed in 2007 with his first novel, My French Whore with a second, The Woman Who Wouldn't arriving in quick succession in 2008.
His third novel Something to Remember You By: A Perilous Romance came in 2013 after a collection of short stories What Is This Thing Called Love? in 2010.

He spoke many times about whether he would return to the screen, though admitted he felt those days were over.
"I’m tired of watching the bombing, shooting, killing, swearing and 3-D. I get 52 movies a year sent to me, and maybe there are three good [ones], he told Time Out New York magazine in 2013.
"That’s why I went into writing. It’s not that I wouldn’t act again. I’d say, 'Give me the script. If it’s something wonderful, I’ll do it.' But I don’t get anything like that."
He is survived by his fourth wife Karen Boyer, whom he married in 1991, and his nephew.

The tragic fan was watching Everton take on Stoke City at Goodison Park yesterday when he was suddenly taken ill.
Police and paramedics raced to help the man - along with an off-duty doctor - and immediately began frantic efforts to save his life at around 4.15pm.
He was later taken to Aintree Hospital where he died.
ECHO reporter at the match Greg O’Keeffe described how the man appeared to be receiving CPR in the Park Road stand as the game against Stoke City continued.
He also said a stretcher and “what could be a defibrillator machine” were brought up the steps to the back of the stand where the fan was being treated.
In the ECHO liveblog of the game, Greg O’Keeffe reported how fans in the Park End stand were “applauding now as the paramedics carry the fan away on a stretcher. Almost the whole stand are standing and applauding”.
Others tweeted that both Everton and Stoke City fans stood to applaud those who had tried to save the man.
A spokeswoman for Merseyside Police said: "We can confirm that a 51-year-old man has died after suffering what’s believed to be a heart attack at the Everton game today.
“The man, who was a spectator in the Park Road stand, became unwell just after 4.15pm.
“Officers, an off duty doctor and paramedics performed CPR on the man prior to the arrival of an ambulance.
“He was then taken to the Aintree Hospital, where he died a short while later. His family have been informed.”
Paramedics raced to the man in an effort to save his life
A spokesman for the club confirmed paramedics had attended a fan in the ground, who was subsequently taken to hospital.
After news of his death was announced, the club added: "Everton is deeply saddened to report that the 51-year-old fan taken ill during today’s game against Stoke City has passed away in hospital.
"The thoughts and prayers of everybody at the football club are with his family and friends.
"The fan, who was seated in the Sir Philip Carter Park Stand for the game, became unwell just after 4.15pm. Police officers, an off duty doctor and paramedics performed CPR on the supporter prior to the arrival of an ambulance.
"He was taken to Aintree Hospital where he passed away a short time later.
"The Club will continue to provide all the support possible to the family."
A North West Ambulance Service spokeswoman confirmed they had attended an incident at the ground. She said: “We got a call. A male was taken to Aintree University Hospital.”

Being diagnosed with breast cancer led me to the love of my life

If someone had told me that having breast cancer would lead me to finding true love then I never would have believed them.
At the time of diagnosis I was in an unhappy, unhealthy relationship .
My partner Peter (not his real name) was manipulative and controlling.
I naively thought the illness might soften him. Instead, he grew colder, more jealous as I fought for survival.
It was January 6, 2010 when I discovered the lump. I was at home doing pilates.
I lay down, and rested my arm across my chest, and that’s when I felt it.
Asha Umrawsingh was devastated to be diagnosed with breast cancer
Looking in the mirror, I was shocked to see the skin was dimpled.
As an A&E doctor , I knew this wasn’t a good sign. But Peter dismissed my concerns.
Still, I called my GP and tests confirmed my fears.
A gruelling treatment programme followed as I had surgery to remove the lump, followed by four months of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
I lost my hair, I was physically exhausted. But Peter didn’t support me at all.
One day, at the hospital , I was having chemotherapy injections, and the nurses struggled to find a vein.
Stenny was a huge support to Asha
In pain, I returned to my chair in tears. Peter simply continued reading his book, never reaching out to comfort me.
Ironically, I found more support from strangers – the team of Dimbleby Cancer Care.
They gave me massages while the drugs dripped in, making it more bearable.
Such a simple act of kindness highlighted Peter’s lack of compassion.
Despite the toxins in my body, I realised it was my relationship that was truly toxic.
The last straw came when we visited one of Peter’s friends.
On the way back home, he said: “You get on well. You can sleep with him if you like.”
Getty While Asha battled breast cancer she realised her relationship was toxic
I burst into tears and later exclaimed: “All I want is for you to put your arms around me.”
After everything I’d been through, I realised I deserved more respect and told him it was over. The split left me feeling shaken, depressed.
After finishing my treatment, I decided to get away to family in Los Angeles.
As I stood outside LAX airport waiting to be picked up, I sensed a man standing next to me.
Turning to face him, he smiled and we got chatting. I was struck by his kind smile and nice blue eyes.
We exchanged the usual pleasantries: “What are you doing here? Where are you from?”
It was the briefest of meetings, but there was a spark, and we exchanged Facebook details before he got into his taxi.
A relationship was the last thing on my mind. But there was something about Stenny Johansen, this softly spoken man from Denmark.
PA Asha was a doctor so she knew when she found a lump it was bad news
After that, we started chatting online. The story of my life slowly unfolded – the cancer, my failed relationship.
I told him I wasn’t ready to jump into anything new.
He simply replied: “I have all the time in the world.” Stenny’s patience struck a chord with me. He accepted me for who I was.
On January 11, 2011, Stenny flew over from his home in Denmark to see me.
Although it was our first date, it was clear there was something special between us.
We got engaged two months later and married in August – just nine months after we first met.
Afterwards Stenny, 53, an electrical engineer, told me: “The moment I saw you, I knew you were the woman I was going to marry.”
Getty After battling breast cancer the disease has now spread to Asha's spine, ribs, pelvis and lung
Since then I’ve been diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. It has spread to my spine, ribs, pelvis and lung. I have had my ovaries removed.
My oncologist told me: “This is treatable, not curable. This is something to live with.”
And believe me, I am living! Stenny and I have just celebrated our five-year wedding anniversary.
I’m still working as a registrar in A&E and always tell my patients to do their monthly breast exams.
But I also tell them: “Slow down, savour life, be kind to your loved ones – and to yourself.”
Cancer took away so much, but it gave me back my emotional strength.
And when I decided to put myself first – even if that meant being single – that’s when I met my soulmate.
Stenny truly is my angel and we’re making every moment count.

Patrick Reed locks in Ryder Cup spot with The Barclays victory but Rickie Fowler fails to follow suit

Patrick Reed will take on Europe after winning The Barlcays and a Ryder Cup spot
American Patrick Reed secured his place on the Ryder Cup team with victory in The Barclays as overnight leader Rickie Fowler squandered his chance to do the same at Bethpage Black.
Reed began the first FedEx Cup play-off event in the eighth and final automatic qualifying place for Davis Love's team, which will attempt to avoid an unprecedented fourth straight defeat to Europe at Hazeltine next month.
And the 26-year-old made certain of a second consecutive appearance in the biennial event in style, claiming his fifth PGA Tour title thanks to a final round of 70 to finish a shot ahead of compatriot Sean O'Hair and Argentina's Emiliano Grillo.
World number one Jason Day, fellow Australian Adam Scott and Gary Woodland were a shot further back, with Fowler slipping into a tie for seventh with Ryan Moore and Jason Kokrak.
"It feels amazing," Reed told Sky Sports. "I have not had that feeling in a while coming down the last couple of holes. I felt like I did a lot of things well, although it was not the scores I wanted on the last few holes, but it was nice to win."
"I'm so glad (about the Ryder Cup). It was a huge goal to get back played having played so well my first time, but unfortunately the cup didn't come back with us.
Getty Rickie Fowler led overnight but couldn't hold on for the final round
"(Hoping for) sweet revenge and hopefully the cup comes back home."
Reed, who was top scorer for the United States with three-and-a-half points from four matches at Gleneagles in 2014, started the final round a shot behind playing partner Fowler and fell further adrift after three-putting the third.
However, he responded with three birdies in the next four holes - including a chip-in on the fifth - and took the lead for the first time when Fowler failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker.
A birdie on the 12th then doubled Reed's advantage and, when Fowler was again unable to save par from sand on the 15th, the destiny of the title was effectively decided and allowed Reed the luxury of bogeys on the 16th and 18th.
Fowler's chances of a Ryder Cup place looked to have disappeared when he ran up a double bogey on the 16th, and although he birdied the next from 20 feet to keep them alive, he also bogeyed the last when a birdie was required.
That meant Reed, Brandt Snedeker and Zach Johnson joined the players who had already qualified - namely Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, Jimmy Walker and Brooks Koepka - in the team, with Love naming three wild cards on September 11 and the final one a fortnight later.
Fowler will hope to earn one of those wild cards, despite having failed to convert a 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour for the fourth time, the 27-year-old carding a closing 74 after dropping just one shot in his first 64 holes.

Jeremy Kyle joined the Manchester Pride parade today where he was spotted confronting Christian protesters.
The TV host was pictured talking to a small group of demonstrators who held placards by the side of a street as the procession wound its way through the city.
The presenter is believed to be filming for the next series of his ITV documentary, The Kyle Files.
Meanwhile, thousands lined the route for day two of the festival, celebrating the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Led by the Manchester’s first openly gay Lord Mayor, Carl Austin Behan, this year’s procession was the biggest yet with more entries than ever before, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The cast of Coronation Street nailed the Once Upon A Time theme with their fairytale-themed float, which was a huge gingerbread house version of some of the soap’s most familiar sets, the Rovers Return and the corner shop.

Sair Khan, 28, who is undies factory trainee Alya, was angelic in wings and Faye Brookes, 28, who plays Caz’s former gay lover, dressed in a Robin Hood costume.
Gay actor Daniel Brocklebank, who plays vicar Billy Mayhew, said events like Pride matter more than ever in the wake of tragedies such as the Orlando nightclub shooting earlier this year.
“I think people now think Pride isn’t as important as it was but it’s just as important to get the message out and to show solidarity,” he said.

Julie Andrews has given Emily Blunt her blessing to play Mary Poppins .
The 33-year-old British actress is taking over the role of the magical nanny made famous by Andrews in the classic 1964 Disney film - a performance which earned her a Best Actress Oscar.
Blunt has been open about having some trepidation about stepping into the screen legend's shoes for 'Mary Poppins Returns' but she was given a big boost when the movie's director Rob Marshall told her that Andrews, 80, was delighted with her casting.
Getty Mary Poppins never had to deal with any of this
FilmMagic Julie and co-star Dick Van Dyke still see each other
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly magazine, Blunt shared: "Rob said he was in the Hamptons, and he saw [Andrews], and he said, 'It's top secret, but Emily Blunt's playing Mary Poppins.'
Dick Van Dyke reveals why his Mary Poppins cockney accent was so bad as he celebrates 90th birthday
"And she went, 'Oh, wonderful!' "
Splash Emily is stepping into the famous role
Revealing how she felt when Marshall gave her that news, Blunt gushed: "I felt like I wanted to cry. It was lovely to get her stamp of approval. That took the edge off it, for sure."
The Devil Wears Prada star is still nervous about how the Mary Poppins sequel will be received as she is aware of just how much the original musical - which also featured Dick Van Dyke and was set in London - is loved.
Getty Mary Poppins is a bona fide Disney classic

She explained: "I feel a little more trepidation with this [character] because she's so emblematic of people's nostalgia. It's such an important character in people's childhood."
Mary Poppins Returns - also starring Meryl Streep and Lin-Manuel Miranda - is currently due to hit cinemas in December 2018.

Chubby monitor lizard which RAN AWAY after being put on a diet is reunited with its owner

The huge monitor lizard ran away when it was put on a strict exercise and diet regime
A chubby monitor lizard desperate for a taste of freedom has been reunited with its owner a week after going missing.
The 6kg reptile made a break for it after being put on a strict diet and exercise regime.
It had been previously overfed , forcing its new owners to take action, before it fled from its enclosure in Kelsale, Suffolk.
Thankfully he was returned home with the help of the RSPCA after being spotted by shocked passers-by hiding underneath a piece of corrugated metal.
RSPCA Insp Jason Finch said: “I was shocked when I first saw this lizard.
SWNS RSPCA Insp Jason Finch with the big monitor lizard after he was found and returned
“At a first glance he could easily be mistaken for a crocodile - he is huge.
“I have only ever seen one monitor lizard before - but it was nothing like this. This one was so big - and very strong too.
“He was clearly overweight and was lost - and a bit grumpy about it.
“The person that found him had managed to contain him in a trailer and called us to help.
“Thankfully his owner was tracked down and we could reunite them fairly swiftly.”
It emerged the lizard’s new owners had allowed it out into the garden to try and get it to swim and do some laps around the garden to help it lose weight .
But it seems it decided enough was enough, when it made its great escape.
Insp Finch added: “We found out that his owner had adopted him after his previous keeper had fed him too much and he was severely overweight.
SWNS RSPCA Insp Jason Finch with the big monitor lizard
“That is why he had been out in the garden - for a swim and to get some much needed exercise doing laps of the garden - to help him lose weight.
“Unfortunately he took a wander and went missing.
“In the warmer weather reptiles have more energy and this one had put on a spurt to escape and wander through to fields neighbouring the home.
“The owner was so relieved to get his lizard back. He had been cutting down shrubbery in his garden desperately trying to find him - but with no luck. It was lovely to be able to reunite them again.
Dr Ros Clubb, exotics scientist for the RSPCA, said: it was lucky the lizard was found when he was as they don’t usually survive long-term in the wild.
She said: “Lizards like this would not survive long-term in the wild in this country so it is lucky he was found when he was.
“It is great that his owner is taking such care to exercise him and make him lose weight.
"With reptiles this is a very slow process as their metabolism is slow. So this shows dedication getting him to stick to his regime.
“Reptiles rely on their environment to warm up and do have more energy in the warmer weather, and can move a lot faster than usual.
"So it is important that owners keep an eye on them and block off any potential escape routes if they are let outside to make sure they don’t get loose.
“Looking after animals like this is more complex and difficult than people think and unfortunately we do hear of cases like this one where an animal has been overfed or fed the wrong things - leading him to become overweight.”

We've all wondered what Dan Stevens would look like as the Beast and the Prince and now our curiosity has been quelled - well, for one of them at least.
The actor is taking on the role in the new live action movie of Disney's Beauty and the Beast alongside Emma Watson as Belle.
Set pictures shared on Facebook show the former Downton Abbey star sporting long blonde locks while standing in front of a green screen.
Presumably the actor is shooting the famous final scene where the Beast becomes the Prince.
The movie isn't out until next year but we have already had glimpses at Emma Watson as Belle, and Lumiere and Cogsworth voiced by Ewan McGregor and Ian McKellen.

The photo is a frame from the sneak peek on the 25th Anniversary Edition release of the original classic animated movie and was shared by La Bella y la Bestia de Disney .
Luckily the extras give us a look at Dan as well as other familiar faces.

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.
Beauty and the Beast is in cinemas on March 17, 2017 in the US.

Teenage transvestite escort who’s slept with 300 married men in 5 months and made £40,000

Tashion says she's "bombarded" with offers from married men
A 19-year-old transvestite claims to have slept with more than 300 married men she met online in just five months.
College student Tashion EJ Taylor, from Cheshire, expected no responses when she went on dating sites to gain acceptance, after transitioning at the age of 16.
However within 24 hours her inbox was inundated with messages from interested admirers.
Finding comfort in her new-found online acceptance, Tashion started responding to her growing following of suiters.
Attracting men aged between 30 to 50, Tashion’s phone was constantly vibrating with new notifications.
A month after signing up to websites Craig’s List, We Love Dates and Your Lovers, Tashion agreed to meet her first admirer for a coffee.
Talk to the press Tashion has an unexpected revenue stream
He was a 40-year-old doctor and a married man.
Instantly sparking a new sense of approval and an unexpected lucrative revenue stream, Tashion relished in her new life.
Tashion said: “I had been completely open about being a pre-op transvestite and really didn’t think anyone would be interested in me.
“Since living as a woman from 16 I’d never experienced that acceptance. I yearned for it.”
Coming out as gay at 13, Tashion had quickly realised that she was in the wrong body and started cross dressing at 16.
But with a lack of family support, she left home and kept her head down.
In January 2016 Tashion decided to go online and used websites to find acceptance.
With her new found confidence she was meeting a different man every week.
Enjoying coffee dates, cinema trips and evening dinners, Tashion was wined, dined and adored.
Talk to the press Tashion sleeps with men and gets money
She said: “I’d been bombarded with messages and seemed to attract a particular man.
“Older, married and usually with children.
“Of course I felt a bit guilty, but when I met them and talked through their back stories I actually felt sorry for them.
“These men were closeted and not able to express their real selves. I’d been there and could sympathise.”
Four months into going online Tashion took the next step and started enjoying sexual relationships.
Talk to the press Tashion advertises her services
She said: “I took it slow at first, enjoying their company and keeping it casual.
“But in April I took the plunge and decided to start sleeping with them.
“I finally feel confident and able to be the real me.
“The men have become so attached and treat me like a princess, wanting to spoil and look after me.”
By June 2016 Tashion was seeing 30 men a week and making £8,000 a month.
Some of the married men would pay £400 to spend two hours with her.
She said: “I never set out to make money, but when they started offering it just became so easy.
Talk to the press It's a lucrative business for Tashion
“Looking good comes at a cost, so the money is welcome.
“I don’t feel like I’m a prostitute. I don’t stand on a street corner and I don’t ask for it.
“I get bombarded with offers and interest from married men.
“You stop feeling guilty when you realise the pain they are suffering.”
In just five months Tashion claims to have slept with 300 men, a tally that continues to rise.
Making a shocking £40,000, Tashion finally feels confident in herself and is currently saving money for gender realignment surgery .
She said: “I don’t feel guilty. Yes I get moments where I feel bad, but seeing these men who can’t come out makes me realise I’m like their therapy.
“They live these secret lives and I’m their secret mistress.
“I’ve slept with over 300 people and I love my life.
Talk to the press It's not always sex for Tashion, sometimes just a coffee
“I don’t intend to stop anytime soon, I’m earning good money and it’s not always about sex. Sometimes people just want to chat over a coffee.
“I feel sexier than ever and have been told that I’m prettier than most women.
“I went online to be accepted and I’ve found my calling. I feel happier and sexier than ever.
“These men might have children and wives, but I’m their counsellor and their outlet to ease their entrapment.”
