Manchester City set for fire sale before deadline day - Transfer news and gossip from Saturday's papers

For sale: Nasri, Bony and Mangala could all leave
Zoiks! Manchester City are prepared to pay the bulk of Joe Hart ’s £120,000-a-week wages in an astonishing bid to help him move on.
City are so desperate to offload England number 1 Hart before Wednesday’s transfer deadline that Mirror Sport has learned they are willing to pay up to £90,000 of Hart’s weekly wage - provided that a club can be found to take the 29-year-old outcast on loan.
Sunderland has emerged as a potential escape route for Hart, after their keeper Vito Mannone was ruled out for at least three months with an elbow injury, but it represents an astonishing fall from grace for the former City first-choice.
But what other stories are in Saturday's papers?

The way Rashford took the winner showed how ludicrous his England demotion is
They scraped it, but there was still a swagger. They sneaked it but there was still a strut.
This is what Manchester United used to do.
This is what Manchester United will do under Jose Mourinho.
This is what they will do with this collection of powerhouse players.
They will do what Manchester United used to do - win in form, win out of form.
They will do what Manchester United used to do - keep going to the end of a game’s road.
It was cruel for Hull, yet the least convincing of United’s three Premier League victories might well be the most ominous.
Mourinho needed most of his welter of options and one - in the shape of the outrageously talented Marcus Rashford - paid off.
And there is the warning to their Premier League competitors… if the front-line stars are faltering, they have plenty in reserve.
Just as Manchester United used to.
Video loading Click to play Tap to play The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video
And imagine what this late Rashford strike will do for Mourinho.
It might even give him an ego …
Seriously, this was a personal triumph not just for Rashford - whose demotion to the England Under-21s is ludicrous - but for Mourinho.
His changes, eventually, worked.
But it was not so much the players he sent on that proved crucial, it was those he kept on.
Most observers might not have expected Wayne Rooney to see the match out, such had been the fitful nature of his contribution.
In pictures — Hull 0-1 Manchester United:
There had been a scuff when you would have expected a strike, a pass when you would have expected a shot.
Too often, he was not in a threat-posing position. The midfield experiment of last season clearly still lingers in his mind - he was drawn towards possession at too many wrong times. Drawn towards possession which he then surrendered with alarming ease and regularity.
Yet Mourinho persevered and Rooney’s assist was a reminder of the natural gifts he can still call on.
Despite the winner, though, Mourinho will, during the international break, be considering the attacking combinations he has utilised for his opening Premier League matches.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic delivered one of those shifts that was a throwback to the days when the English used to think he was a phoney, and Juan Mata was pleasantly ineffective.
Action Images via Reuters Superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic was a damp squib in the Hull deluge
Mata and Mourinho did not have the best of relationships at Chelsea but if you had to compile odds on the first front-line name to fall out with Mourinho, the favourite would probably be Anthony Martial .
Zlatan’s had the number off his back and Mourinho put Martial's new one up in lights to end an hour’s shoddiness out on the left flank.
The sight of a player trudging off while Mourinho stares into the opposite stand - hands not even hinting at leaving pockets - is an ominous one.
Martial can ask Mata. Or, going back some, Joe Cole.
United radiated more danger after Henrikh Mkhitarayan entered proceedings and even more after Rashford had replaced Mata.
Man Utd via Getty Martial was hooked by Mourinho after an ineffective hour's action
Mourinho might yet put more trust in Rashford than many people believe.
His awareness in the penalty area and swiftness of foot - he, classically, hits the ball using minimal backlift - is startling for such a young striker.
The finish in added time was simple, the thinking and movement to get there were not.
No wonder Mourinho momentarily lost it in delirium before promptly telling Chris Smalling to strip off his tracksuit top and replace Rooney.
That was typically Mourinho - a substitution merely to underline he is always thinking, always clever.
That is what he used to do.
And this - the rest of the Premier League be warned - is what Manchester United used to do.

A schoolgirl killed herself over fears she had put a racially offensive picture on the internet.
Phoebe Connop, 16, had been chatting regularly online to an Asian lad whom she called her boyfriend despite never having met him.
She then put a picture of herself on Instagram with her skin colour edited to look darker and a scarf wrapped around her head.
Phoebe, a talented gymnast, told friends she would have to look like that to get approval from the parents of her "boyfriend".
But when the picture was spread around the net, Phoebe became worried about a backlash, an inquest heard on Friday. Detective Sergeant Katherine Tomkins told the coroner: "She was scared of what the reaction might be from the Asian community in her area."
Phoebe's dad Laurence, 53, who arrived home in Halesowen, West Midlands, to find his daughter hanged last month, said: "She was a lovely girl who would never want to cause offence to anyone."
Verdict: suicide.

John Terry England comeback was a non-starter with the FA days even before Chelsea captain ruled it out
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Asking Terry to end his international exile came up when Allardyce spoke to the media last Monday
Sam Allardyce's hopes of luring John Terry out of international retirement were over even before the Chelsea skipper snubbed the chance to return last week.
FA chiefs are understood to have developed cold feet within 48 hours of Allardyce’s admission last Monday that he would explore the possibility of tempting the former England captain back into the squad.
The Blues ' skipper has since made it clear he will not be ending his self-imposed four-year international exile .
MirrorFootball understands the FA had second thoughts over the issue after behind-the-scenes talks.
PA Terry heads clear as Chelsea beat Burnley to make it three wins from three this season
Terry, who impressed in Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Burnley on Saturday, was found guilty by the FA in 2012 of racially insulting QPR defender Anton Ferdinand during a match.
Although many of the key figures in the organisation have since changed, the sensitivities around a potential recall were deemed to be too incendiary to risk pursuing the issue.
The matter was then believed to have been dead in the water after a scheduled board meeting on Wednesday morning which had been set up to ratify Greg Clarke as the Association's new chairman.

Terry is understood to have been sounded out over whether he would be interested in coming back, with new boss Allardyce’s options limited going into a World Cup campaign that starts away to Slovakia next Sunday.
But, as we revealed yesterday, he was not given any assurances that he would actually be in the squad.
Chelsea coach Antonio Conte insisted last week he would not stand in his skipper’s way and maintained the issue was between the player and Big Sam.

Second woman accused of BLACKMAILING rugby star Danny Cipriani appears in court

www.mirror.co.uk

A second woman accused of blackmailing Danny Cipriani for cash has appeared in court.
Violet Smith, 29, from Slough, was sent by Wimbledon Magistrates Court to appear at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on September 20.
She faces one count of blackmail in that between September 1 and October 31 last year, with a view to gain for herself or another or with intent to cause loss to another, made an unwarranted demand of money from Danny Cipriani with menaces.
Wearing a lacy black dress, she only spoke during the brief hearing to confirm her name, age and address.
Getty Danny Cipriani was allegedly blackmailed
Her co-defendant, 39 year-old Lisa Murphy, of Wootton, Northampton appeared last week on the same charge and was bailed to appear at the crown court on the same date.
Smith, who indicated a not guilty plea to the charge, was released on bail on condition she does not contact Cipriani or Murphy.
Roehampton-born Cipriani, 28, currently plays for Premiership team Wasps as fly-half or fullback.
The six-foot-one England international was educated privately at Wimbledon College prep school Donhead.

Nick Razzell Danny Cipriani was allegedly blackmailed
His mother Anne, who split with his Afro-Trinidadian father Jay soon after his birth funded Danny's education by becoming a black taxi driver.
An all-round sportsman Cipriani played junior football for QPR, was offered youth terms by Reading FC and played schoolboy cricket for Berkshire and Oxfordshire.
He won 14 England caps between 2008 and 2015 and has also played for Melbourne Rebels and Sale Sharks.
Earlier this year, he was convicted of drink-driving after crashing his Mercedes into a mini-cab after a night out and was banned for 18 months and ordered to pay fines and costs totalling £7,620 for being nearly twice the legal limit.

Heartbreaking images of the lost children of Syria who have known nothing but war and suffering
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Malnourished and with a haunted look in his eyes, this is the face of a generation of Syrian tots who have known nothing but war and suffering.
As more harrowing images emerge from the war-torn nation , the scale of their plight is finally becoming clear.
The world had its big wake-up call, when a picture of Omran Daqneesh of the besieged city of Aleppo went viral.
Sitting dazed in an ambulance, the five-year-old was caked in blood and dust after an air strike that killed brother Ali, 10.
British aid worker Tauqir Sharif, who earlier this month travelled to Aleppo in an old ambulance packed with food and medicine, said: “There is nowhere that’s safe. You’re literally waiting for death.
“They become used to living under bombs. It’s part of their life now. Children playing in rubble, children playing with shrapnel – that’s their daily life.”
Half of the country’s pre-war population has died or fled and 3.7million Syrian children – one in three – were born after the conflict began five years ago.
And on top of the bombings, they face another cruel killer – hunger.
A child being treated in hospital in Aleppo
Experts say 3.1 million children and pregnant women across Syria are at risk.
In Aleppo alone, more than 350,000 youngsters are desperate for food.
Unicef said 700 under-fives and more than 430 pregnant women and new mums have been treated for acute malnutrition so far this year, while a further 180 under-fives suffered severe malnutrition.
Children have known nothing but war and suffering
A senior aid worker said: “There’s a food crisis as prices are so high. I met a family who had not had a food package for six months.
"They found other coping mechanisms – asking neighbours, selling possessions. They were desperate.”
Aleppo has been split between rebel forces in the east and the regime in the west since mid-2012.
A young girl cries as her leg wound is treated
At least 100,000 children are cut off in the east and 90 have died city-wide in attacks this month.
Sharif, originally from Essex and associated with aid group Live Updates From Syria, spent time in some of the secret underground hospitals in rebel-held areas.
He said medics saw victims of explosions every 10 minutes, adding: “You see children coming in with horrible life-changing injuries.
Reuters Children flash victory signs as they play in Manbij
"You know some of them are losing their arms, some of them losing their legs, shrapnel all over their faces.
“What kind of a future will this child have? It’s very, very difficult to handle.”
Nearly 4.3 million Syrians, half of them children, have fled to other countries.

Many risk their lives to make the perilous sea crossing to Europe.
According to Unicef, some 27,500 youngsters are stranded in Greece pending asylum bids – two-fifths of all Syrian refugees there.
Sharif said he was stunned by the spirit of those who remain in Aleppo, adding: “Some of them have come to terms with the fact that nobody is going to help them but have become very resolute. Their strength amazes me.”
More than 290,000 people have been killed in Syria since the conflict began.

Are EastEnders bosses about to kill off Phil Mitchell?
That's certainly what a new trailer released by the BBC seems to suggest.
In the dramatic 20-second clip, the Walford legend is reunited with his brother Grant [ Ross Kemp ].
While we're not quite sure what it is exactly that brings him back to Albert Square, it appears he's in town to support his sibling.
BBC Are EastEnders bosses about to kill off Phil Mitchell?
Not that Phil [Steve McFadden] wants any help as he marches across the Square with a bat in his hand and blood dripping down his face.
"I told you, I don't need any help," he shouts at his brother.
But an unfazed Grant his back: "Well I've told you, you've got it!"
BBC Phil begs Grant to save his son Ben
Moments later, Phil is seen collapsing in the street as his estranged wife Sharon frantically tries to help him.
However, he seems more concerned about his son Ben rather than his own wellbeing and begs Grant, "Please bring back my boy?"
The clip doesn't reveal where Ben is but we suspect it may have something to do with his desperation to track down the men who murdered his boyfriend Paul Cocker.

He and best pal Jay are on the hunt for the homophobic killers who attacked them, and they want justice.
But it looks like their mission is going to end in tears...

A pregnant driver who suffered a miscarriage following a collision with a 'tank' has been left devastated after the former TA corporal who caused the crash dodged a road ban .
Amanda Ryan was taken to hospital with back injuries and later lost her unborn baby after her Vauxhall Astra was written off in the smash.
Robert Shepherd, 68, was fined £270 and handed three penalty points but was spared disqualification despite having nine points on his licence.
Last night, heartbroken Amanda told the Daily Record : “It’s a travesty.
“I lost my baby and I could be on painkillers for the rest of my life – all as a result of him and his friend playing soldiers in a tank on a public road.”

Alloa Sheriff Court heard that plumber Shepherd was peering through a hatch in the front of his 1954 Saracen armoured personnel carrier as he drove home from a charity gala in August last year, while a pal in the turret acted as “commander”.
The 11-ton Rolls Royce-engined six-wheeler veered on to the wrong side of the road on a narrow bridge over the River Devon, near Alva, Clackmannanshire.
The wheel arch hit 28-year-old Amanda’s car, smashing in the door on the driver’s side.
Mum-of-two Amanda, from Sauchie, was showered with glass, had to be freed by firemen and was taken to hospital.
But Sheriff Eric Brown was not told of Amanda’s injuries or the miscarriage she suffered two weeks later.
Amanda, who sustained muscle damage and expects to need painkillers for the rest of her life, said after the case: “I genuinely thought I was going to die and it’s absurd he can just carry on.

“I definitely think Shepherd should be banned before he causes a death. He’s a real danger in that thing.”
Shepherd, of Tullibody, Clackmannanshire, had been due to face trial charged with dangerous driving but the prosecution accepted his guilty plea to the lesser charge of careless driving.
Information assistant Amanda added: “I used to be a police cadet and I knew that the charge would get dropped from dangerous to careless, but he already had nine points for driving offences.

“After what happened to me, not to ban him is ridiculous.”
The court heard that while Amanda’s car was written off, the Saracen was only slightly damaged. The bridge carried a 7.5-ton weight limit but Shepherd was not charged with exceeding it.
Adrian Fraser, prosecuting, said: “The APC encroached on to the opposing carriageway and there was a collision between both vehicles.
“The position adopted by the accused’s vehicle was such that there was not room for the two vehicles to pass.
“The Astra was hit by the wheel arch of the APC, which juts out.”
Jim Savage, defending, said: “As they approached the bridge there was heavy foliage on the trees so the commander of the vehicle wasn’t able to forewarn my client of the Vauxhall approaching from the north.”
Imposing the fine and points, Sheriff Brown said: “I accept that disqualification would be very significant.
“I also take into account the impact it would have on your employee.
“I am satisfied I can exercise my discretion in deciding not to disqualify you on a totting-up basis.”

Brussels bomb explosion: Car rams through three fences before blast at Institute of Criminology laboratories

A manhunt is underway for suspects behind a bomb explosion at top crime labs in Brussels in the early hours of this morning.
A car rammed through three fences before the blast at the Belgium's Institute of Criminology - setting fire to the building and causing extensive damage.
Police - who have been deployed in force in the area which is cordoned off - are hunting for at least one or more suspects who then detonated a bomb.
There were no casualties, Belgian media say.
Shortly before 02:30 local time (00:30 UK time), a car rammed through three fences, RTL Belgium reports.
"One or more" suspects then reportedly detonated a bomb near the laboratories.

The institute - located in Neder-Over-Hembeek, a suburb north of Brussels - is linked to the Belgian ministry of justice and carries out forensic investigations into criminal cases.
Belgium's terror alert level remains high since bomb attacks on Brussels airport and the city's metro claimed by so-called Islamic State killed 32 people in March.
The independent institute, linked to Belgium's federal justice body, is in Neder-Over-Hembeek, a suburb north of Brussels.
Scientific analysis linked to criminal cases is carried out at the site.

What to bring?
Getty Make sure you're a happy camper by packing the right stuff
If you're about to embark on a weekend away at Creamfields and have yet to decide what festival beauty essentials you need or which tent to invest in, you should take a look at our packing checklist below.
1. Tent: Firstly make sure it is big enough for you AND your belongings.

2. Wellies: No matter what the forecast is, at some point it will rain. We recommend: Black Dunlop wellies , £9.99, Deichmann.

4. Sunglasses: They hide a multitude of sins - namely panda eyes caused by no sleep. We recommend: Ray-Ban Wayfarers , £88, ASOS.
5. Portable mobile charger: Don't be that person who spends four hours looking for lost friends, because you went for a wander to find the loos and suddenly your battery died. We recommend: PNY T2600 PowerPack, £12.99, Argos.

Ryan Reynolds wishes wife Blake Lively Happy Birthday in his usual HILARIOUS way

When it comes to wishing your spouse Happy Birthday - no-one does it quite like Ryan Reynolds.
The Deadpool actor showcased his famously dry sense of humour when he wished wife Blake Lively many happy returns on her 29th birthday on Thursday.
And he decided to celebrate the occasion with a special tweet written just for her - and Billy Ray Cyrus.
"Just want to wish Billy Ray Cyrus the most special, magical birthday ever. I love you with all my heart. Also, Happy Birthday to my wife," he wrote.

Getty Ryan's so funny
Luckily for Ryan, Thursday was also the Achy Breaky Heart singer's 55th birthday.
Ryan and Blake have been married since September 2012 and share one-year-old daughter James. Blake is now pregnant with their second child.
Ryan wasn't the only celebrity to wish the actress a happy birthday.

Taylor Swift also sent The Shallows star her own birthday message, complete with an aww-inducing koala photo.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAKE! You're a wonderful friend, to humans and koalas alike. I absolutely love you," she captioned a photo of the duo cuddling with a koala.
Last year, Taylor and Blake cemented their BFF status by posting a series of Instagram posts from a fun day at the Queensland theme park in Australia.

Jenna Coleman loved pretending to be pregnant in Victoria.
The 30-year-old actress portrays the former monarch - who reigned for 39 years - in the ITV period drama and enjoyed wearing a fake baby bump on set because it meant she got to wear a "less tight" corset.
Asked what it was like wearing the bump, she said: "I love it actually, I love it because I get to play (Victoria) a little grouchier. She kind of doesn't enjoy pregnancy and I have a less tight corset, which is always nice."

The former Doctor Who star had to try on 70 different contact lenses for the role, but has now admitted she couldn't stand not wearing them as she ended up hating "being on set without them because it changes your face so much".
ITV Racy scenes on the way
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty's mother and friends were "weirded out" by her eyewear and kept questioning, "I know something is different but I don't quite know what."
However, Jenna always knew how important it was to have the right eye colour for the late royal because it was Victoria's most prominent feature.
She previously said: "I think we were in the zone of about 70 pairs of contact lenses. We did different camera tests and again it was Nic Collins - head of make-up - it was her idea, which was great because any of the portraits that we look at, the first thing we see are her eyes. Her eyes just pop out to you so I think it's great to look so different."

However, she admitted it was an "unpleasant" experience wearing them while shooting scenes in candlelight.
She told Bang Showbiz: "In terms of comfort, they were fine, other than when we shot by candlelight. I was living in a rose-tinted world because everything was a haze, which wasn't unpleasant."

Coffins leave the scene of the suspected murder-suicide in Cavan, Ireland
Tributes are being paid to two teachers and their children after they were killed in a suspected murder-suicide knife rampage at their countryside home.
The bodies of Alan and Clodagh Hawe and their sons, Liam, 13, Niall, 11, and six-year-old Ryan, were found in County Cavan, Ireland, this morning.
It is believed Mr Hawe, a primary school deputy principal, and his school teacher wife were discovered downstairs in the house near Ballyjamesduff.
Meanwhile, the boys' bodies are thought to have been uncovered upstairs in their bedrooms after a worried relative raised the alarm, the Irish Mirror reports.
PA The bodies of Alan and Clodagh Hawe and their sons, Liam, Niall and Ryan, were found this morning
The INTO issued a statement this afternoon on behalf of Castlerahan National School, where Mr Hawe worked.
It said: "At lunch time today (Monday, 29 August 2016) 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.

"Psychologists from the National Educational Psychological Service (NEPS) have visited the school and are supporting and advising our teachers in their efforts to assist our students in dealing with this tragic event.
"The school will be open to parents to support them and to offer them advice and guidance."
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. "

Collins Photo Agency Tributes were today being paid to the family of five
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.
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."
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
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.

West Brom host newly-promoted Middlesbrough at The Hawthorns in Sunday’s early Premier League kick-off (13.30pm).
Boro, returning to the top-flight for the first time in seven seasons, have got their campaign off to a bright start with a 1-1 draw against Stoke and 2-1 win over local rivals Sunderland .
The Baggies, meanwhile, won 1-0 at Crystal Palace before losing at home 2-1 to Everton.
The hosts will assess full back Brendan Galloway, on loan from Everton, ahead of the clash with Boro.

The defender strained his hamstring in the midweek Football League Cup defeat by Northampton Town.
Boro are also facing their own defensive worries with George Friend missing due to a calf problem and Fabio sidelined with a knee injury.
Centre back Daniel Ayala, however, is available and could be drafted into the starting line-up.
The Teesiders’ goalkeeper Victor Valdes and midfielder Marten de Roon, though, are out of action with hamstring injuries.
West Brom boss Tony Pulis is unfazed by criticism from some fans over the club’s slow start to the season and won’t be rushed back into the transfer market.

The Welshman told reporters: “I’m not going to panic and bring a load of players in to satisfy people out there and then, after two weeks, they say they are no better than what we’ve got.”
Pulis added: “They have to be the right players. When I came into the club there were players who were here and have since left and they cost an enormous amount of money and the club has not got any return.”

A teacher who allegedly promised a young student good marks in return for sex has been arrested.
Gilberto Gonzalez Arias, 65, was down to just a pair of yellow boxer shorts and his unnamed pupil was in her underwear when officers arrived to cuff him and take him away.
The maths teacher allegedly deliberately gave pupils he targeted bad marks before telling them they could improve their scores if they agreed to sex.
The high school student agreed to the meet in a house that was under construction in the northern Colombian town of Santa Barbara de Pinto - but took her dad and a police team along.
The girl’s dad rushed over and punched Arias in the face as one officer filmed the scene while another put the teacher’s hands behind his back to handcuff him.
Seguimento.cosantamarta The half-naked teacher was snared in a police sting
The teacher was identified in local reports as an employee of a school called Nuestra Señora del Rosario High School.
Investigators have now launched a probe to see if other students at the school were targeted and say they have already had three more complaints.
Local police chief John Jairo Rodriguez said: “After this man was handed over to the judiciary three other sets of parents have filed formal complaints with prosecutors.
Seguimento.cosantamarta The shocking moment Arias was arrested in his yellow boxers
“If other children have fallen victim to this foul practice, we would urge them or their parents to let the authorities know.”
Local education chief Eduardo Arteta Coronell pledged to bring the “full force” of the law down on the suspect if the claims against him were proven.
He said: “Respect for rights, especially those of the girls, boy and young people of Magdalena, are a priority.”

Joe Root stars with 89 as England take 2-0 lead over Pakistan in one-day series at Lord's
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Joe Root expertly marshalled the England chase as they reeled off a four-wicket victory over Pakistan in the second one-day international at Lord's.
Pakistan wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed produced the star turn, making 105 to lift his side to 251 all out, but a lack of support meant that was never likely to be a winning total.
Root provided the reply with a disciplined, doughty spine but fell for 89, his fourth successive half-century in the format, just before the job was done.
Both Sarfraz and Root favoured pragmatism over pyrotechnics, scoring 61 and 53 singles respectively, but England were collectively stronger and looked in control from first ball to last despite a moderate winning margin and took a 2-0 series lead.
Sarah Ansell Joe Root reverse sweeps on his way to a valuable 89 against Pakistan
For a side whose 50-over cricket was seen as a basket case little more than a year ago such a drama-free victory is a cause for celebration, but a Pakistan side labelled as "behind the times" by their own head coach, Mickey Arthur, merely logged another reminder of their limitations.
England's new-ball pairing Chris Woakes and Mark Wood impressed again, sharing six wickets and reducing Pakistan to two for three after they opted to bat first.
Sami Aslam, replacing the out-of-form Mohammad Hafeez, scored one in 10 balls and -departed to the slightest brush of glove off Woakes, third umpire Simon Fry overturning the on-field verdict.
If there was a hint of good fortune about that, the next two overs brought emphatic dismissals.
First Wood uprooted Sharjeel Khan's off stump with an 87mph beauty that pitched full and seamed perfectly away from the bat, then Woakes unpicked Azhar Ali's defence with a sharp inswinger.

That brought Sarfraz to the middle and he lingered for the majority of the innings, sharing in successive stands of 64, 59 and 77.
Babar Azam was his first foil, playing fluently for 30 before Liam Plunkett's brisk yorker dislodged a bail via bat and boot.
Shoaib Malik was in next, adding 28 as Sarfraz steered and guided his way to a calm 50.
Shoaib was comfortable enough against spinners Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali, lifting the latter for the first six of the match, but the returning Wood claimed his edge with a lifter.
Sarfraz continued working steadily towards three figures alongside Imad Wasim and reached the landmark with just his sixth boundary of the day, tucking Plunkett towards fine leg before leaping high in celebration.
Having become the first Pakistani to score a one-day hundred at Lord's he departed to a half-hit slog-sweep.
That left 7.1 overs, during which England took the last four wickets for 49 runs.
Hasan Ali and Wahab Riaz both fell to memorable catches, Root clinging on at long-leg despite a nasty collision with Rashid and Plunkett collecting a brilliant one-hander.
Sarah Ansell Sarfraz Ahmed held the Pakistan innings together with an impressive 105
England would not have been daunted by the chase but the cheap dismissals of Jason Roy, who had his stumps scattered by Mohammad Amir, and Alex Hales, bowled on the sweep by Imad, raised the stakes.
A 10-over score of 39 for two was modest but England were in safe hands - despite Root hobbling after his collision with Rashid.
Hasan was complicit in letting the pair settle, offering Root two cheap fours while Morgan landed a wristy reverse-sweep against Imad.
The pair never looked in jeopardy as they chipped away at the target, Root following in Sarfraz's footsteps by pushing the ball around with minimal risk and Morgan keener to force the issue.
Pakistan reeled through their bowling options with minimal impact but the stand reached had reached 112 before it could be stopped.

Morgan had been strong against spin but was too ambitious against Imad in the 31st over, shuffling outside leg and letting the ball sneak under an attempted cut.
Root persevered, turning Wahab Riaz for three to bring the target under a hundred, but was happy to play second fiddle to the incoming Ben Stokes.
The Durham all-rounder, still playing as a specialist batsman following calf trouble, was quick to attack.
He peppered the boundary on his way to 42 in 30 balls, also managing an effortless straight six off Yasir Shah, and also received the best delivery of the innings when Hasan dug one into the shoulder of the bat.
Stokes fell in fittingly ambitious fashion, bowled looking for a big hit into the on-side, and Jos Buttler was run out cheaply but the result was safe.
Root was gone before the end, chipping Wahab to Shoaib in search of his century, but Moeen and Woakes applied the finishing touches.

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

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.

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.
What Premier League deals have been done this summer?

Amanda Holden is known for her youthful, glowing appearance aged 45 - and now she's finally revealed her secret.
The star has opened up on everything from her appearance, to her close friendship with Simon Cowell and even described herself as "the biggest flirt in the world", as she gushed about her marriage.
The TV presenter revealed she is keen to follow in the footsteps of women like Goldie Hawn, who has retained the power to turn heads even as she has aged.
But that hasn't stopped her enjoying the occasional booze-fuelled night out with her friends.

Shadow Welsh Secretary Paul Flynn says MPs waste too much time working out the rules and submitting receipts, so they should just be paid a flat allowance

Top Jeremy Corbyn ally calls for MPs expenses rules and watchdog to be scrapped

Paul Flynn called for the expenses watchdog and rules to be scrapped
A member of Jeremy Corbyn's top team has called for the the rules governing MPs expenses to be scrapped, along with the watchdog that oversees them.
Paul Flynn, who is Shadow Welsh Secretary, Shadow Leader of the House of Commons and a close ally of Mr Corbyn, said MPs should be awarded a flat top up payment instead of having to file receipts for their expenses.
Currently MPs can claim back expenses for certain costs, including travel and rent if they represent a constituency outside London.
But they have to submit receipts to prove their outgoings to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), which was introduced in response to the MPs expenses scandal in 2010.
But in an email to Labour MPs, seen by the Mirror, Mr Flynn said the process of "hours of tedious frustrating trawling through a bureaucratic morass of rules" is a waste of MPs time.
And he said attempts to reform the process would be "polishing dung."
He suggests the entire system of MPs expenses should be replaced with an automatic payment to every MP, based on average expenses and distance from Westminster.
Reforming IPSA would be "polishing dung"
One astonished Labour MP said: "How could anyone think the way to stop MPs breaking the rules is to abolish the rules?
"Jeremy Corbyn’s top team are completely detached from reality. They don’t begin to understand and couldn’t care less what the public think."
A Shadow Leader of the House, policy on MPs expenses is Mr Flynn's responsibility, but a Labour Party spokesperson said: "What Paul Flynn has suggested is not Labour Party Policy."
In 2014-15, the average annual expense claim was more than £161,000.
In total MPs claimed almost £106m in expenses for the same year.
Under the current system, MPs found claiming for spending they're not entitled to can be ordered to pay it back.

And MPs caught not following the rules properly can be forced to make humiliating public apologies to the House of Commons.
In extreme cases, MPs who have made fraudulent expenses claims have been jailed.
How much did MPs claim on expenses in 2014-15? £161m Total £161,000 Average £169,054 Paul Flynn
In the email, Mr Flynn suggested his replacement system would "be acceptable even if it meant reduction in the amounts MPs receive because of the liberation from the tentacles of tedious bureaucracy."
"MPs would gain time," he wrote. "Parliament's reputation would be protected and IPSA's annual running costs in excess of £6 million would disappear."
Jeremy Corbyn is frequently among the lowest claiming MPs in Westminster, but still claimed £159,281.35, including staff costs for 2014-15.
As MP for Islington North, he does not claim expenses for accommodation or travel.
Mr Flynn, whose constituency is in Newport, claimed ££169,053.88 for the same year.

Jennifer Lopez breaks silence after Casper Smart split and says 'protect your heart'

Jennifer Lopez has broken her silence following her breakup from Casper Smart with a cryptic photo from the set of Shades of Blue.
The singer and actress starts in the ABC cop drama, and she shared a snap of herself in costume as she posed in front of a piece of street art in New York City.
The telling graffiti by anonymous artist UncuttArt featured the words 'PROTECT YO' HEART', while the design featured the shape with spikes coming out of it.
It comes as it seems J-Lo and her man are reportedly back on friendly terms following their recent breakup after five years together.
The 47-year-old singer and the 29-year-old dancer - who have been together since 2011, despite a brief separation in 2014 - called time on their romance, and while their relationship is now "amicable", it's still not clear if a reunion is on the cards.
According to TMZ, Casper is keen to rekindle their romance after their most recent fight, but J-Lo is said to be adamant this is the end for the couple.

A source previously told PEOPLE: "Jennifer and Casper have split. They have not been together for a few weeks. It wasn't anything dramatic and they were on good terms – it just came to a natural end.
"They will remain friends and they see each other, but they are not together. It was very amiable."
Sources close to Casper told TMZ that the break-up hasn't happened but others have told the gossip website the relationship is over.
In 2014, the pair were reported to have split but some sources claimed they were actually spending time at Jennifer's house when they were supposed to have separated.
WireImage Source close to Casper have denied it
The pair were seen at her Las Vegas show a few weeks ago.
Jennifer - who has eight-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony - first got together with Casper when he was a back-up dancer on her tour in 2011.
The star has previously admitted her divorce from Marc in 2014 was the "biggest disappointment" of her life.
FameFlynet The couple have reportedly ended their relationship
She said: "It was devastating and awful. I think both Marc and I thought at the time we would be together for the next 40 years until we die."
It was the biggest disappointment of my life so far. [But] I felt like at that time I had lost my way a little bit, of who I was in trying to make the marriage work.
"I had been married twice before and I didn't want this to be a failure ... I just put all my heart and soul into that and forgot who I was as an individual a little bit."

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend go for a stroll in New York
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend looked like the picture perfect couple when they stepped out for a sunshine stroll this weekend.
Chrissy looked effortlessly stylish in a sexy tummy-baring black lace crop top and a pair of baggy boyfriend jeans.
The flawless Sports Illustrated babe opted to go make-up free and scraped her hair back into a tight bun.
John, who was dressed in a black polo shirt and jeans, kept a tight hold of his lady as they took on the Big Apple.

The previous day the model caused a stir when she took aim at Donald Trump on Twitter.
As they flew into New York, Chrissy said she was watching a Trump biopic while sharing a screen grab of American Psycho playing.

The pair's visit to the east coast comes as it was revealed they have just sold their New York apartment.
The couple purchased the one-bedroom loft-style home in 2013 for $2.4 million but decided to put it on the market as they want to make Los Angeles their permanent base with four-month-old daughter Luna.
According to the New York Post newspaper, John and Chrissy have found a buyer for the the property, which is less than 2,000 square feet.
They will now be based in Beverly Hills after purchasing Rihanna's old home for $14.1 million earlier this year.

The house has a lot more space than the New York apartment, boasting 8,520 square feet.
It also has five bedrooms and eight bathrooms plus picturesque "ocean, city and canyon" views of LA.
It also has an outdoor swimming pool and a master suite that boasts a walk-in shower and a sauna. John and Chrissy moved into the property in January, while the 30-year-old model was pregnant with little Luna.
She tweeted at the the time: "Eating donuts in our new, empty home."We also currently have no television. I'm just staring forward."

Mourinho prefers the 18-year-old striker to continue his development with "a big part of matches" for Gareth Southgate than watching others in the seniors

Jose Mourinho prefers "amazing" Marcus Rashford drop into England Under-21s than sit on seniors bench

Call: Rashford is in the England Under-21 squad not the seniors
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho prefers to see Marcus Rashford getting minutes under his belt with England's Under-21 side, rather than sitting on the bench for the seniors.
The 18-year-old striker gate-crashed Roy Hodgson's Euro 2016 squad, after scoring eight goals for United having only made his debut in February.
After netting on his international debut in a pre-tournament friendly against Australia, he was limited to two substitute appearances in France, as England crashed out to Iceland in the second round.
This week, with Rashford having yet to start a game for Mourinho's side this season so far, the youngster finds himself named in Gareth Southgate's Under-21 party.
And Mourinho believes that getting game time makes more sense for Rashford at this stage of his development.
Getty Making his mark: Rashford at Euro 2016, helping change the game against Wales
John Peters Response: Mourinho feels it's better for his player's growth to get Under-21 action
"I prefer it this way, because to be selected [for the seniors] and be on the bench behind [Harry] Kane and [Jamie] Vardy and all the experienced players, than play one minute or not play.
"I would prefer him to go to the Under 21s and play what Southgate decides, but I believe 90 or 80 minutes, a big part of matches, and contribute to his development."
Lars Baron Off the bench: Rashford was twice used as a substitute at Euro 2016
John Peters Watching brief: Rashford is yet to start a game for United this term
Rashford made 18 appearances under Louis van Gaal last term - all from February onwards - after bursting onto the scene with a brace in the Europa League.
So far this season, Rashford's only appearance has come off the bench in the Community Shield, with new No.9 Zlatan Ibrahimovic leading the line.
But Mourinho insists "amazing" Rashford has a bright future at Old Trafford, and that he will see plenty of action as the season evolves.
Alex Morton - The FA Different stages: Rashford will see time on the pitch, despite Ibrahimovic's presence
"Marcus is a young and talented player. We bought one striker (Ibrahimovic) - not two or three or four. If you don't trust him or want him to play, you buy other strikers. That is not the case.
"Zlatan is playing and is showing why, and Marcus is our striker number two at the moment. For an 18-year-old boy, I think he is amazing."
And the Portuguese tactician insists he has no problem with pairing the veteran Swede with the youngster, if necessary.
"They can play together because they did it already. They played against Leicester as a two when Marcus came on."

Brit who tried to save Mia Ayliffe-Chung from Queensland knife attack dies in hospital

www.mirror.co.uk

A British man left fighting for life following a knife attack at an Australian hostel which killed backpacker Mia Ayliffe-Chung has died in hospital, police confirmed.
Tom Jackson, 30, was critically injured as her tried to save 21-year-old Mia during the attack in Queensland a week ago today - on Tuesday August 23.
He was knifed in the head in what police described as a "selfless" act.
His father Les, who had flown out to be by his hospital bedside as he fought on life support, said: "We are bereft.
"Our darling Tom has left us and the world is a poorer place."
He had earlier spoken on Sunday of his immense pride in his son.
“There are many and varied reasons why we are, and always will be, immensely proud of Tom.
"His actions in response to this horrific attack only add to that sense of pride,” he said in a statement.
Mr Jackson said he’d received many offers of support and friendship from the Townsville community.
Man accused of killing Brit backpacker claimed he was going to “die soon”
Universal Frenchman Smai Ayad, 29, is accused of murdering Mia
He said: “Please don’t think I am unappreciative of these kind offers if they appear to be silently ignored.
“They have not been but I think you will understand that our sole focus at the moment is entirely on Tom’s condition.”
“We are in awe of the medical and support staff at the Townsville hospital who are providing the greatest care Tom could hope to receive and keeping me informed of his ongoing treatment every step of the way.
“Finally, and most importantly, our hearts go out to Mia and her family and friends at this dreadful time.”
Mia, 21, was stabbed to death
A fundraising page had been set up for "hero" Mr Jackson - described as having been "attacked while selflessly trying to save a woman from being killed".
The Youcaring page raised more than £1,300 of a £5,000 goal to support Mr Jackson's family.
Les Jackson is quoted on the page which read: "We are bereft. Our darling Tom has left us and the world is a poorer place. Thanks again to everyone for the love and support you have given us over the last few days, we will be forever grateful.

"There is dark and evil in this world perpetrated by a few, but so much more love and light emanates from so many more. That thought will sustain us over the coming days."
Frenchman Smai Ayad, 29, is accused of murdering Mia, from Derbyshire.
A Queensland Police spokesman said investigations are continuing, but detectives will upgrade a charge of attempted murder against a 29-year-old man when he next appears at Townsville Magistrates' Court on October 28.
He added: "The family of Thomas have told us that while they appreciate the support, they don't wish to speak to the media."
Instagram Mia was a few weeks into a dream trip to Australia
Ayad is also accused of injuring 12 police officers during the incident in the Home Hill area of Queensland last Tuesday night.
He was due to appear in court on Friday via video link but police explained he would not be present because he had caused a 'disturbance' while in custody.
He was remanded in custody and his case has been adjourned until October 28.
Police previously said that they were investigating whether Ayad had an "obsession" with Miss Ayliffe-Chung.
Instagram
Another man - a 46-year-old named by a friend as Grant Scholz, who ran the hostel - received non-life threatening injuries and has since been released from hospital.
Superintendent Ray Rohweder of Queensland Police said there was an indication that Ayad had taken cannabis on Tuesday evening.
Police have confirmed he shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the attack but said there is no indication that radicalisation or political motives were involved.
Mum of murdered backpacker Mia Ayliffe-Chung says 'don't let hate win' after brutal stabbing
Miss Ayliffe-Chung's post-mortem examination found her cause of death to be multiple stab wounds.
Rex Features Investigators at the scene in Home Hill
Her mother Rosie Ayliffe paid tribute to her daughter in a statement, saying she was an "amazing young woman with an adventurous spirit".
British High Commissioner to Australia Menna Rawlings is in Home Hill to provide support to Britons involved in the attack.
In a video she posted on Twitter she praised the Queensland Police Service for their response to the incident and the follow-up support they were providing everyone involved.
She said: "The family and friends of all the victims of the attack, and all those affected - I wanted to offer my deepest condolences as well."

Top Jeremy Corbyn ally accuses Labour chiefs of 'nakedly' trying to quash his leadership
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Emily Thornberry has come out fighting in defence of Jeremy Corbyn
A key Jeremy Corbyn ally has accused members of Labour's ruling body of "nakedly" trying to bring him down.
Emily Thornberry said National Executive Committee (NEC) members "disgusted" her by suggesting Mr Corbyn should need 51 MPs' nominations to defend his position as leader.
And she called on Labour to unite around him to end "the chaos and distraction that this attempted coup against Jeremy has caused".
The Shadow Foreign Secretary made her comments as she formally endorsed Mr Corbyn in his leadership contest against Owen Smith .
She said she will support whoever wins the election on September 24.
But in a letter to members in Islington South and Finsbury, next door to Mr Corbyn's London seat, she warned Labour's "unnecessary and divisive leadership contest" had let off the Tories scot free.
"Less than a year after Jeremy’s overwhelming victory, the party hierarchy – through decisions of the national executive committee - is attempting to overturn that result, quash Jeremy’s mandate, and put the party’s members back in their box," she wrote.
"And they are doing so in the most naked way.
"I was disgusted to see the attempts to try to stop Jeremy from getting on the ballot."
Jeff J Mitchell Ms Thornberry formally backed Mr Corbyn in Labour's leadership contest
She also hit out at the NEC's vote to bar 130,000 new members from the leadership contest - which was overturned by the High Court but then kept in place by the Court of Appeal.
Anti- Trident Ms Thornberry is co-writing a review of Labour's defence policy with Clive Lewis, Mr Corbyn's third shadow defence secretary in a year.
She has been one of a handful to stand by the incumbent leader after he lost a no confidence vote of MPs by 172 to 40.
Ms Thornberry accused deputy leader Tom Watson, who has accused "Trotsky entryists" of infiltrating the party, of "growling" that she was a "traitor" when she rebelled against 90-day detention for terror suspects in 2005.
"A traitor to who?" she wrote.
Getty The MP claimed Tom Watson 'growled' at her over the notorious 90-day detention vote
"Not to the country, when this was a draconian measure designed to look tough on terrorism, but one that would undermine the cohesion of communities like ours, alienate people and actually undermine our security.
"So who exactly was I betraying? Just a party hierarchy and a party leadership who were trying to shore up their relationship with the right-wing press by ‘taking on’ their members, and trying to out-flank the Tories on security."
She added: "It is time to unite as a party – the membership and the elected representatives alike – and together take our fight into the only contest that matters: getting this dreadful Tory government out of office, and punishing them for the mess into which they have plunged our country.
"That is what we should have spent our summer doing – uniting, facing outwards, taking on the Tories, and energising the public to our cause – and that is again why I regret so much the chaos and distraction that this attempted coup against Jeremy has caused."

Iceland's biggest volcano Katla could be about to erupt after two massive earthquakes
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Iceland's Met Office has warned that the Katla volcano could be on the verge of erupting, following the country's first major tremors since 1977.
Two earthquakes exceeding four in magnitude rocked the volcano's crater on Monday, according to a statement from Iceland 's Met Office.
Katla, which is one of the country's largest volcanoes , is located on the island's southern coast and stands 1,450 metres (4,757 feet) tall.
The volcano last erupted in 2011, and before that in both 1999 and 1955, but none of these eruptions were strong enough to break the ice covering its 10km-wide crater.
Getty The Myrdalsjokull ice cap covers the Katla volcano in southern Iceland
The massive volcano's last major eruption took place in 1918 and saw ash spewed into the air for nearly five weeks.
The volcano's ice cap is thought to be able to contain hot lava for around 90 minutes in the event of an eruption.
This would enable Icelandic authorities to evacuate anybody nearby and to alert international air traffic control.
DJI/Eric Cheng An eruption could result in a potentially dangerous ash cloud
In 2010, the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull resulted in a massive ash cloud that caused the cancellation of 100,000 flights across Europe and left many people stranded.
It was feared that tiny glass-like particles formed from the volcano's lava could melt in aircraft engines and cause turbines to become clogged.

Ferrari driver quizzed by police over £1.2 million supercar horror crash that killed 13-year-old boy

Matt Cobden, 37, was driving the 4.7-litre supercar when it careered off the road
The driver of a £1.2 million Ferrari who was behind the wheel during a horror smash that killed a 13-year-old boy has been quizzed by police over the crash.
Tragic Alexander Worth, from Kings Worthy, Hampshire, was riding in the rare F50 supercar when it crashed through a wooden fence on a 10mph private road.
He suffered life-threatening injuries and was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
And now the driver of the 4.7-litre vehicle, 37-year-old Matt Cobden, who sustained serious wounds in the incident on the farm access road on Monday night, has been questioned by police over the incident.

The married dad, who owns a bespoke luxury car storage facility in the area, was rushed to North Hampshire Hospital, where he remains in a 'stable' condition.
Other than confirming he had been quizzed, Hampshire Police would not provide an update on their investigation.
Alexander was visiting the garage with his mum when Mr Cobden offered to take him out for a drive in the supercar, said a source claiming to a family friend.
Moments later, the vehicle careered off Hook Road in North Warnborough, before ploughing through the fence, killing Alexander.
The youngster's mum frantically tried to give her son CPR after pulling him from the vintage vehicle, the source said.
In a statement Hampshire Police said: "Sadly, Alexander suffered life-threatening injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene."
It is believed the teenager suffered a fatal chest injury, possibly from a fence post, after the Ferrari crashed at around 8.35pm on Monday.
The smash left skid marks and broken glass on the road, while the F50 supercar - one of only 349 ever made - was wrecked.
facebook Mr Cobden, who has a young son, was hospitalised with serious injuries on Monday evening
Mr Cobden's Toy Stor-Age company is situated at the end of the farm access road.
On Tuesday, locals living in North Warnborough told of how they heard sirens and saw flashing lights and a helicopter circling overhead after the crash.
One said: "I could see the lights from the window at the top of the stairs and there was a helicopter circling for a while.
Solent News Mr Cobden is the owner of Toy Stor-Age, a bespoke luxury car storage facility that the access road leads to
"It landed on the field just next to that road but you couldn't tell from here what it was doing.
"I only realised what had happened when I saw the news this afternoon."
A man working on the nearby industrial estate said he had seen the classic red Ferrari parked earlier in the day.
He said: "It stands out, doesn't it, it's not a car you see every day. It was parked up here.
"I saw the fence broken in when I got in his morning because I get in quite early but at that time I had no idea.
"I didn't look that bad but I heard that a little boy died which is terrible. The rumour is going round that the little boy was driving but that is pure speculation."
A South Central Ambulance Service spokeswoman said on Tuesday: "At 20.35 last night we were called to a road traffic collision involving one vehicle.
"We sent two crews, including an ambulance officer and co-responder, to the scene, as well as the Thames Valley air ambulance.

"We treated two patients - a young teenager, who was unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene, and a man in his thirties who was assessed and taken to North Hampshire hospital in Basingstoke by road."
The day after the tragedy, a web user wrote on a specialist car forum, describing themselves as a friend of Alexander's parents.
They said: "It was my friend's son. As far as I know at the moment, the mother and child were waiting at a car dealership where their friend was delivering some batteries.
"The kid saw the F50 there there and asked the garage owner to sit in it. He replied that he could do one better and take him for a drive.
"They got less than a minute away before the mother, still waiting at the garage, heard a crash. She was the first on the scene and tried to resuscitate her son to no avail."

Meet the bodybuilding gran with a hot body and a toyboy: 'Growing old doesn't need to mean giving up'
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Janice, 73, won the Australian championships and Ms Universe (left) and then with boyfriend David (right)
With nerves swirling around in her stomach, Janice felt the eyes of the crowd on her as she stepped on stage in nothing but a bikini. There were hundreds of people there, watching, waiting, but how would they react?
She needn’t have worried, though, because the moment she started to tense and pose, showing off her muscles, the audience went wild and applause rang out around the room.
"I was in my 50s at the time and I guess I was a bit of a novelty," says Janice, casting her mind back to her first ever body building competition. "There weren’t many women my age doing it – even I was a bit surprised to find myself there."
Medavia Janice, aged 19
Then again, a few years earlier, life was very different for Janice. If it hadn’t been for the breakdown of her marriage, which ended in 1988 with her husband of over 20 years walking out on her, Janice might not have had the catalyst to spur her on.
"He told me he hadn’t loved me for a long time and left," remembers Janice. "My world fell apart. We had three lovely children, aged 23, 22 and 20, and I enjoyed my work as a counsellor at the local school, but I didn’t know how to be on my own," she says.
Life-changing night
Divorce certainly wasn’t something Janice felt like celebrating, but as her 48th birthday approached, her youngest daughter Lauren insisted on a night out with friends to mark the occasion and lift her spirits.
"We went to see a movie before heading to a nightclub for a bit of a dance," she says. "I wasn’t really in the mood, but didn’t want to be a stick-in-the-mud."
Sat alone at a table feeling a bit sorry for herself, Janice was taken aback when, suddenly, a young man strode up to her, dropped down on one knee and begged for a dance.
"I couldn’t help but smile at his cheeky approach," she laughs, "so I joined him on the dance floor and he introduced himself as David. When the song ended, I expected him to disappear, but instead he kept returning to our table."
Medavia Janice was 48 when she met David and they're still going strong 25 years later
As they chatted, they realised they shared a love of history and football.
"There was an uncanny commonality about us," says Janice.
The age gap, it seemed, couldn’t be further from her young suitor’s mind – and her daughter Lauren was so pleased to see a smile on her mum’s face again, that she didn’t mention it either – but Janice couldn’t help being curious.
"How old are you?" she asked at one point, thinking him to be in his 30s. "I’m 24," he replied, "How old are you?" Not keen on admitting she was twice his age, Janice lied, telling him she was 38.
Janice and David exchanged numbers, but she didn’t expect to hear from him again. So, the next day, when the phone rang, no one was more surprised than Janice when David’s voice appeared on the line.
"It was time to come clean, so I confessed my real age," she says, remembering the long pause that came after her admission. "But he told me he’d still like to take me out."
Janice couldn’t resist David, remembering his big blue eyes, so she gave him a chance. They started to date, and Janice’s whole world changed.
"My life came alive when I met David. I was no longer just a wife and mum, I was me."
Ready to retire
Irrespective of the 24-year age gap, the pair moved in together after a couple of short months, despite warnings from her friends and family.
"Everyone seemed to have an opinion," says Janice. "Some said, 'He’ll come into your house and take all your money and half your house, then he’ll leave you.'
"Even my children joined in, saying, 'Your children have grown up and now you’ve taken another child, Mum!'"
But Janice knew they had something special, and seven years later, when Janice, 55, was ready to retire, the couple were still together.
"Suddenly, my sense of purpose and my reason for getting up each day were gone."
Feeling lost, and with David working as a psychologist at a private practice, Janice busied herself going to the local gym for aerobics classes. It was there that she had an epiphany.
"I noticed an elderly woman shuffling through the car park, leaning on her carer. I wasn’t ready to resign myself to becoming a quiet old woman, so I knew I needed a change."
Marching back into the gym, Janice went to the weight-training room and announced she wanted to become a bodybuilder. ‘I’d heard that weight resistance training was good for bone density,’ she explains.
Medavia Janice took up bodybuilding after retiring
"It was scary to be taking on something so different, but it sparked excitement in me. I spent months training with the weights, toning and building my muscles naturally without supplements."
But it wasn’t all plain-sailing in the gym.
"When I first started, young men would stand over me when I was on a machine and say, with a stroppy tone, 'Are you finished yet?' I felt alienated."
But after 15 months of training, Janice was ready to compete. Stepping out onto the stage, tanned and greased in a skimpy bikini, she bit the bullet.
"I was one of only two women in the over-40 age category and, to my surprise, I won!" The buzz was addictive.
In no time at all, Janice had entered and won the Australian championships. She was hooked.
"I was working out at least three days a week and walked about eight kilometres on each of the days I wasn’t at the gym."
Gold medals
"I think people expected me to stop as I got older, but I didn’t. I entered more competitions and won the titles of Ms Universe and Ms Natural Olympia in America. It did wonders for my health as well – in my 60s I had the bone density of a 25-year-old."
Now at 73, Janice might be a grandmother to three beautiful grandkids, but she is the oldest natural body builder in Australia.
Medavia Janice with daughter Lauren, granddaughter Samantha and David
What’s more, her and David are still very much in love. He accompanies Janice on her long walks, and always attends competitions with her, helping her apply tan before she goes out on stage.
"He encourages me to be all I can be," says Janice, happily.
"I want women to know that growing old doesn’t need to mean giving up," she says. "You can still feel attractive and happy. Follow your passions and you’ll be forever young at heart."
David says: 'Janice is like a wind-up toy that never runs down. She is both inspiring and inspired, a truly selfless person but with a certain sense of style, of course. She leads by example, is courageous, loyal and highly disciplined, but above all, Janice is the best friend that anyone could hope to to have."

Who is left in the house?
It's down to the super six contestants as they battle it out for the title of CBB winner 2106.

World champion Red Bull stunt pilot Michel Leusch has been tragically killed while performing an aerobatic display at an air show.
Leusch, who flew for Red Bull, died in the crash after his plane spiralled out of control before crashing to the ground at the 1st Silk Road International General Aviation Convention held at Danxia airport in China.
He appeared to lose control during a dive and the plane crashed into the Gobi desert about 100 metres away from the airport runway.
Mr Leusch was accepted as a permanent member of the Red Bull Firestars stunt team earlier this year after training with them for three weeks in what he called a "life-changing experience".
Facebook Leusch died after his plane spiralled out of control
Facebook Tributes are pouring in for the world champion pilot
Facebook He was also part of the Red Bull Firestars stunt team
Tributes are flooding in for the experienced pilot, who also took home first place in the Intermediate World Aerobatic Championships in 2014.
His pal Cobus Brink said: "Rest in peace my friend. Condolences to Natalie, Mike, Michel's father, and the rest of Michel's family and friends.
"Your loss is mine too. I still remember Mr Leusch's pride when his son was crowned the World Champion and Michel's pride in his dad for being there to share his joy. "
Facebook Friends said they are devastated over the pilot's death
Trevor Viljoen wrote: "I am feeling so devastated and heartbroken.
"You will be sincerely missed by just the person you were and always will be and I will always remember all the fun times we had together and thank you for all your help you gave me with my Rc flying and your support."
Onlookers were left shocked as the plane hurtled towards the ground
A probe is now underway to determine the cause of the crash, according to local media.
Sharon van Staden added: "After the devastating news of the tragic passing of a very dear friend, it again reminds me of just how precious and short life is.
The aircraft left jet trails showing its tragic path
"Live your life to the fullest, make the most of it because you never know what the new day brings. R.I.P. Michel Leusch taken way too soon!"
No onlookers were injured as the aircraft fell outside the airport fence, according to organisers.
No spectators were injured in the crash, according to officials
It comes after hundreds of people watched a pilot crash into the ground at a US airshow in May.
Spectators at the PDK Airshow in Atlanta watched the pilot performing an aerial stunt in tandem with another plane but it went horribly wrong.
The biplane pilot, named as Greg Conell, appeared to lose control because of “echanical failure" while performing an acrobatic trick and plummeted to the ground.
One onlooker who captured the moment said he was "sickened" by what he saw.

Desperate family left unable to sell their home because of 'monster' Japanese knotweed in NEIGHBOUR'S garden

Nasreen Akhtar has been unable to sell her home because a neighbouring garden is completely full of knotweed
A desperate family has been left unable to sell their own home - after a dreaded, 'monster' plant took over the garden next door.
Puzzled Nasreen and Sajid Akhtar could not understand why no-one wanted to buy their two-bedroom house despite 20 viewings with three separate agents.
It was only when they then tried to re-mortgage their terraced home in Birmingham and were turned down that they discovered the reason why.
Japanese Knotweed had taken over their neighbour's garden, threatening the foundations of nearby properties including their own.
To add to the couple's despair, mum-of-two Naseen said their elderly neighbour had warned his housing association two years asgo he was struggling to control the plants.
SWNS/Luke Johnston Mum-of-two Naseen stands in her back garden, as her neighbour's weeds tower above the fence
SWNS/Luke Johnston The bamboo-like plants that have taken over next door's garden have prevented the family selling their home
But she said the association ignored her neighbour's pleas and the alien weeds which can grow 20 cm a day took over his entire back yard and started to creep over her fence.
After 20 failed viewings with three agents - and one sale falling through - Nasreen had her own survey report carried out in a bid to remortgage her way to her dream home.
Then she found that no-one would lend to her because of the presence of the invasive, bamboo-like plants.
The ugly plants - which surround two sides of the garden - are notoriously expensive to clear and the family claims housing association WM Housing is refusing to help .
Nasreen, 42, has had an offer accepted on their new home, but is "stuck in limbo" with a house which they can't sell or remortgage.
She said: "It is putting my future and my children's future on hold and it is totally out of my control.
"I can't do anything about it.
"It is entering my garden but I can't sell, I can't remortgage and I can't have a three bed house for my children despite working all my life.
"And I don't seem to be getting anywhere with the housing association.
"I can't do a normal thing like selling my house despite working hard all my life.
"I can't do any of this because I have knotweed growing next door.
"Until it is gone they can't lend me - or others - the money.
SWNS/Luke Johnston The pesky plants are notoriously difficult to get rid of
"It is upsetting. I want to move on in my life.
"It's not even my garden so I don't see why I should pay."
Nasreen bought the house 14 years ago and rented it out until she moved in with husband Sajid, 38, four years ago.
In a bid to trade their two-bed home for a bigger house with a garden, they put the neat and tidy £150,000 on the market in May last year.
But despite listing it with three agents, and hosting dozens of viewings, every potential sale fell through when buyers had a second viewing or ordered a survey.
"I think they must have known," added Nasreen, who is a business consultant for an energy company and has two sons, four and two.
Unaware of the problem and having spotted a house they wanted to buy, the savvy couple decided to remortgage their house with Nationwide to free up equity .
They sailed through the credit checks but discovered their house was virtually unsaleable in a report following an inspection.
The report said: "There is an extensive outbreak of Japanese Knotweed to the left and rear of the rear gardens of the property which is uncontrolled.
"Before the property can be considered for suitability a suitable programme of eradication and maintenance must be in place."
SWNS/Luke Johnston Nasreen claims her neightbour is as fed up with the jungle as she is
It added: "The extensive outbreak of Japanese Knotweed renders the property unsuitable for normal lending."
Distraught Nasreen consulted her neighbour who said he had asked the housing association to help him clear his gardens two years ago - before it got out of control.
She said: "The tenant is an older gentleman and he said he contacted the council two years ago to report it was getting too much for him to deal with.
"He's fed up with it as well but they have just ignored him.
"I asked the surveyors if there was anything I could do and they said 'no, it's a big problem'.
"They said it grows under the foundations of houses and it travels from garden to garden and the banks won't lend on a house that has got it near it.
"What do I do now?"
She contacted the bank directly but claims they would only consider lending if the weeds were eradicated - and Nasreen was given a ten year guarantee.
She read online Japanese Knotweed could be considered Anti Social Behaviour under Home Office guidance updated in 2014, but claims police directed her to the council.
Birmingham City Council told her it was the responsibility of the housing association.
But after phone calls and emails to WM Housing, she claims two weeks ago staff told her "we'll look into it" - and still haven't visited.
SWNS/Luke Johnston Nasreen says they have had over 20 viewings on the property
Flickr/Angus MacAskill Japanese knotweed is detested by gardeners across the country
Meanwhile an offer she has has accepted on a new home is hanging in the balance.
"I don't know what to do and I don't feel like I should pay for a housing association's garden," she said.
Liz Carroll, assistant director at Family Optima, said: "Although it is a tenant's responsibility to maintain their garden as part of their tenancy agreement, as a responsible landlord we take the removal of problems such as Japanese Knotweed very seriously especially as it can cause damage to buildings.
"When we are aware of Japanese Knotweed we can and do offer help and assistance to our customers if they need it.
"We have received reports this week from the neighbour of one of our customers in Majuba Road of suspected Japanese Knotweed in the back garden of one of our houses.
"We have made attempts to contact our tenant today and have booked a garden specialist to visit the house early next week to carry out tests so we can start the removal process on his behalf as soon as possible if Japanese Knotweed is confirmed."

Tory scheme set to hit 70,000 council tenants with £1,000 a year rent rises
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Tens of thousands of tenants will be hit with £1,000 “Pay to Stay” rent rises from next April.
The controversial move will force council and housing association tenants with a household income above £31,000, or £40,000 in London, to pay market rates for their rent.
It is designed to cancel out state subsidy for people who don’t need it.
But there are now calls for the Government to scrap it, because tenants will be stressed, councils will lose money and the Government will only raise 25% of the intended revenue.
Pay to Stay means 70,255 tenants face average rises of £1,065 a year, says the Local Government Association.
Getty Critics claim the hikes will cause anxiety for social housing tenants
Households on £30,000 or more will pay £72 a month on average. And homes in London on £40,000 will have to find £132 extra. The average monthly council rent in England is £340.
Nearly one in ten social housing tenants in London and the South East will be hit by the rise, 7.7% in the East of England and 5.3% in the north east, says the LGA.
The group, representing local authorities in England and Wales, is calling on Government to rethink the scheme.
Pay to Stay will cause “stress and anxiety” to tenants but do nothing to ease the housing crisis, it says.
The scheme will prove costly and bureaucratic, requiring town halls to spend millions on new IT systems and hiring staff, says the LGA
Getty The LGA is calling on the Government to rethink the scheme
Councils will also have to write to more than a million social housing tenants to find out their incomes. The Government claimed it would raise £365million a year but the LGA says it will only bring in £75million.
The association’s Nick Forbes said: “Pay to Stay sounds straightforward but it has initially unseen complexities.
“These could generate large numbers of costly tenant legal appeals.
“The Government has committed that councils will be able to keep reasonable administrative costs.
“In many areas, these will outweigh additional rent collected leaving little or no extra income for the Treasury, and leave the councils out of pocket.
“Pay to Stay risks becoming an expensive distraction from our joint ambition to build more homes.
A Government spokesman said: “It’s simply not fair that hard-working people are subsidising those on higher-than-average incomes, including tens of thousands earning £50,000 or more.
“Pay to Stay better reflects tenants’ ability to pay while those who genuinely need support continue to receive it.”

Theresa May shoots down Labour call to hold a second EU referendum or call snap general election

Theresa May has dismissed calls for a second EU referendum or snap general election
Theresa May yesterday dismissed calls for a second EU referendum or a snap general election.
The PM ruled out a poll of the public on the terms of the Brexit agreement she will strike with the EU.
It follows calls from Labour leadership hopeful Owen Smith for another referendum or an election to be held to give voters the chance to pass their verdict on the precise terms of Britain’s exit from the EU.
But Mrs May’s deputy spokesman said: “The Prime Minister is very clear there will be no second referendum. There is no need for a general election either.”
Getty The PM also effectively ruled out giving MPs a vote on the Brexit deal or the timing of Article 50
Hours earlier former Tory leader William Hague had urged Number 10 to rule out another referendum.
Writing in his Daily Telegraph column Lord Hague - who backed Remain - said: “Seductive as it seems, such a referendum is a thoroughly bad and dangerous idea, and it needs to be dismissed by the Government from the outset.
“It is bad in principle, because a defeat for the terms of exit, after lengthy negotiations, would presumably come after the time permitted for such negotiations by Treaty, and when the time to seek any other terms would have expired.
“It could leave the UK in a state of pure limbo, having decided to leave in principle but not in detail. And since the terms of exit might be settled long before the detail of any new trading arrangement with the EU, it could involve voting on half a deal without knowing the content of the other half.”
Mrs May yesterday also effectively ruled out MPs being given a vote on the Brexit deal or the timing of Article 50, the formal trigger for the two-year exit negotiations to begin.
Getty Lib Dem leader Tim Farron is expected to warn right-wingers are trying to hijack the UK's referendum result in a speech later
Her spokesman would only say parliament “will have a say on the situation going forward” and added: “Parliament overwhelmingly voted in favour of the referendum in the first place.”
Mrs May will haul Cabinet Ministers for a special meeting at her country estate of Chequers today to set out their plans for Brexit.
But in a speech later Lib Dem leader Tim Farron will warn the referendum result risks being ‘hijacked’ by right-wingers like Nigel Farage and French National Front chief Marine Le Pen.

A family of five are in hospital being treated for suspected carbon monoxide poisoning after using a barbecue inside their tent.
The party had been cooking their breakfast when it started to rain and decided to bring the portable grill inside.
The family, who were on a Bank Holiday weekend camping trip, then began to feel unwell and called the emergency services.
South Western Ambulance service and Devon and Cornwall firefighters rushed to where the tent was pitched just off the B3266, north of Camelford, Cornwall, at about 9.20am yesterday.

A Cornwall Fire and Rescue spokesman said: "It appears that breakfast was being cooked on a barbecue outside the tent.
"When it started to rain, the barbecue was taken inside the tent to continue the cooking.
"After a relatively short time, two of the occupants became unwell, prompting the call to the ambulance service.
"In total, a family of five people were conveyed to hospital by ambulance to be checked for the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning."

A man who murdered a stable girl more than 20 years ago has been sent back to jail - for stalking another woman after his release from prison.
Stephen Webber was jailed for life in 1996 for the murder of Jessie Hurlstone - a stable girl at champion jockey Jimmy Frost's stables.
Webber bludgeoned 27-year-old Jessie to death hitting her thirty times with a metal bar at her caravan home in Buckfastleigh, Devon, in October, 1995.
It has now emerged he stalked another woman in Cornwall this year after his release from that life sentence.
Appearing at Truro Magistrates court Webber, now 59, was charged with stalking another woman between April and July of 2016, was jailed for ten weeks and given an indefinite restraining order banning him from any contact with his latest victim.
Magistrates heard he had been recalled to jail on his life sentence for killing Jessie.

17:32 Opponent watch: Slovakia England’s first World Cup qualifying opponents are Slovakia, who they drew 0-0 with in St-Etienne this summer. On that occasion Roy Hodgson rested several players and came a cropper, but you can expect Mr Allardyce to throw his best XI at their hosts.

17:14 Sunday is the day Allardyce takes charge of his first England game next Sunday in Trvana, Slovakia. Originally the Football Association had hooked him up with a money-spinning Wembley friendly against Croatia but that fixture was binned by Big Sam in favour of more training time at St George’s Park. He obviously wants to get to know his players and wants them to get to know his ways and plans. It means he’s thrown in at the deep end, however, with a World Cup qualifier.

Lord Janner's family have called for the inquiry into child abuse to be delayed
The family of Greville Janner want the public inquiry into child abuse to delay its investigation into the late Labour peer.
Lord Janner, 87, who died in December, is alleged to have abused youngsters over a period spanning more than 30 years dating back to the 1950s, with offending said to have taken place at children's homes and hotels.
The allegations against him are due to be examined at hearings of the public inquiry next March.
But his son has said that as civil proceedings by some of his alleged victims have been started, the claims should go through the courts - where his father's accusers can be cross-examined - before they feature in the inquiry.

Daniel Janner QC told the BBC he had prepared a submission for the Home Affairs Select Committee which is due to question Home Secretary Amber Rudd next month.
He said: "We very much hope that the committee will question carefully why the inquiry is planning to make findings of fact in relation to my late father when he is dead, when he cannot answer back, when he has never been convicted of any offence and is entirely innocent.
PA Lord Janner died in December last year after suffering with dementia
"Moreover we are denied the right to cross-examine what we know to be false allegations and we say this process actually discredits the important work of the inquiry.
"Civil proceedings are in train and it is in those civil proceedings that we do get the right to cross-examine, when those allegations can be tested."
He said he and his two sisters intended to use their inheritance to clear the family name.

Murdered backpacker Mia Ayliffe-Chung's ashes to be scattered across globe 'so she can visit places' heartbroken mum reveals

Mia Ayliffe-Chung's ashes are to be scattered across the globe
The heartbroken mother of the tragic British backpacker Mia Ayliffe-Chung who was stabbed to death in an Australian hostel has revealed her daughter's ashes will be scattered around the world so she can continue her travels.
Rosie Ayliffe said she wanted to ensure her beloved daughter Mia "can visit places" she will now never discover after she was brutally attacked last week.
Rosie also told how hard it was coming to terms with the loss of her 21-year-old daughter was stabbed to death in Australia on Tuesday, allegedly by 29-year-old Frenchman Smail Ayad.
Writing in a daily blog for The Independent, Ms Ayliffe, from Wirksworth in Derbyshire, described plans for her daughter's cremation as she prepares to head for Australia to collect the ashes.

Ms Ayliffe said: "I know some of her friends are struggling with that (the decision to cremate her 'sooner rather than later'), because they wanted her body brought home and a cremation or burial here in the Wirksworth area, but she has friends all over the place.
"Hence the plan to create a place of remembrance here, but also to give various people vials of Mia's ashes to scatter in places dear to her or to them. That way she can visit places she hasn't visited yet. Canada, New Zealand, Singapore."
She added: "I've been told by the family liaison police that I'm at the beginning of a journey and that I'll experience many emotions. For the past few days the emotions have been at bay, to the extent that I was starting to question yesterday whether I was grieving at all.
Facebook Smail Ayad is accused of killing backpacker Mia Ayliffe-chung in Australia hostel
Facebook Tom Jackson, who is in hospital after he was stabbed in leg when he tried to stop 'knifeman' from attacking Mia at a hostel in Australia
"At the moment the only way I can really cope with our loss is to think Mia's time had come and what happened in that hostel on Tuesday was her fate. It was always going to happen like that."
She said of the alleged killer: "Smail Ayad ... is not an Islamic fundamentalist, he has never set foot in a mosque."
Meanwhile, the family of a Briton injured in the stabbing have said they are "immensely proud" of him after he tried to save Ms Ayliffe-Chung's life.

Tom Jackson, 30, received critical injuries when he tried to help his compatriot.
His father Les Jackson issued a statement also praising the work of medical staff at Townsville Hospital in Queensland, where his son is being treated.
He said: "There are many and varied reasons why we are, and always will be, immensely proud of Tom.
"His actions in response to this horrific attack only add to that sense of pride.
Instagram Mia's mother spoke about her pride in her daughter
Instagram The Brit made many friends while travelling
Facebook A man has been charged with the murder of Mia and attempted murder of two others
"As a family we have been comforted by the help and support offered by our friends and family at home and in Australia who have been wonderful."
Ayad has been charged with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder, one count of serious animal cruelty and 12 counts of serious assault.
He did not appear in court on Friday but was remanded in custody and his case has been adjourned until October 28.
Police are investigating reports that the Frenchman had an unrequited romantic interest or an "obsession" with Miss Ayliffe-Chung.

Wayne Rooney praises Jose Mourinho for adding strength in depth to Manchester United's squad

Wayne Rooney has praised Jose Mourinho for adding greater strength in depth to Manchester United's squad.
The Red Devils' new boss turned to Marcus Rashford and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to influence proceedings at the KC Stadium on Saturday as United searched for a late winner over Hull.
As it was, Rashford grabbed the injury-time winner, but Mkhitaryan, a £26million signing from Borussia Dortmund last month, also had a positive impact on the game.
England's first-choice defender Chris Smalling came off the bench, while Ander Herrera and Morgan Schneiderlin were unused subs, and the likes of Memphis Depay and Phil Jones didn't even make the matchday squad.
A number of players have been pushed down the pecking order over the summer following the arrivals of Mkhitaryan, Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba.

And Rooney, who created Rashford’s 92nd-minute strike with a fantastic run and cross, insists Mourinho deserves credit for the work he has done to strengthen the squad he inherited from predecessor Louis van Gaal, the Manchester Evening News report.
Rooney, 30, said: “I think that’s the big difference this year. We’ve got players who were starting every game last season on the bench and some players haven’t even travelled.
“We’ve got a big squad and a lot of quality in the squad and whichever players the manager wants to use will have to step in and do a job.”

Victory at Hull meant Mourinho became the first United manager to win his first three league games in charge since Sir Matt Busby achieved the feat in 1946.
And Rooney says the fast start is ominous for the rest of the Premier League.
Mourinho started with at least four wins in each of his title-winning seasons with Chelsea in 2004/05, 2005/06 and 2014/15.
Matthew Lewis Mourinho's United have won their opening three Premier League matches this term
Next up for United is a derby with Manchester City and Pep Guardiola at Old Trafford on September 10 following the international break.
Rooney added: “You look at the years when Jose won the title at Chelsea, they always started well. I think the way it’s been for us the last two or three seasons, it was important for us as a team.
“Jose has brought that experience in, that winning mentality again. That’s showing in the players and it’s maybe lacked over the last couple of years.
Action Images via Reuters Rooney is delighted with Mourinho's impact so far
“It’s early but you want to try to build momentum and especially going into the international break. To go there with three wins is important, and with the next game being Man City.
“It was a big win for us, even though it’s so early in the season. We know whatever happens against City isn’t going to define the season but it’s always nice to go into that break with the three wins.”

Maria and Will Henniker-Gotley were crushed to death in a villa in Italy
The traumatised children of a UK couple killed in the Italian earthquake flew home.
Orphans Jack and Francesca Henniker-Gotley, 14 and 15, arrived back in Britain after parents Maria, 51, and William, 55, were crushed to death in their villa.
The youngsters, of Stockwell, South London, are being comforted by relatives.
Their friend Marcos Burnett, 14, was also killed when the villa both families were staying in was reduced to rubble as the quake destroyed entire towns across central Italy, leaving 290 dead.
He and his parents Anne-Louise and Simon had been invited on a family holiday by the Henniker-Gotley’s who were their friends and UK neighbours.
Phil Harris / Daily Mirror The villa where Maria and William Henniker-Gotley were staying was reduced to rubble in the aftermath of the quake
Grief-stricken Mr and Mrs Burnett are being treated for their injuries in an Italian hospital ward.
A spokesman for the hospital said: “They are aware of all the love and affection coming from the UK concerning them but are not ready to relive the terrible events by talking about them for now.
“They are together in the ward and want to remain alone for the moment.”
Marcus, 14, the son of Italy earthquake victims Maria and Will Henniker-Gotley
The couple are among 388 injured quake victims – 40 of them critical – being treated in hospitals. Up to 20 people
remain unaccounted for.
Nine more bodies have been recovered – but the search for survivors was drawing to a close.
Rescuers said it would take a “miracle” for anyone to be pulled out alive now.
Barcroft Media A damaged building after an earthquake in in Amatrice, Italy
Italy’s President Sergio Mattarella travelled to the ruins of Amatrice, a day of national mourning, before attending a mass funeral for 35 victims from the ravaged town of Arquate.
Further funerals will be held in coming days – including at the capital Rome, where almost 50 of the dead came from.
So far 181 of those killed have been named. The quake victims’ ages range from five months old to 93.

Pretty Little Liars has been cancelled.
The Freeform drama - originally centred around a group of teenage girls, their missing friend and a texting terror known as A - will come to an end in 2017 after seven twisted seasons.
Starring Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson, Lucy Hale , Shay Mitchell and Sasha Pieterse as the group of friends targeted by A, the drama kept viewers across the globe enraptured with its many mysteries throughout its run.
But now showrunner Marlene King has revealed that the final run of episodes will be the final episodes of the show, ever.
Pretty Little Liars cancelled: Mystery drama to end after seven confusing seasons
"The next ten episodes of this show really are going to be the last ten episodes of the series," she said on a Facebook live stream with the cast.
The final run will begin to air in April 2017 with an event dubbed Pretty Little Liars: Endgame.
Lucy Hale added: "We're going out with a bang. Now we finally have to answer all your questions."
Executive vice president of Freeform, Karey Burke, told Variety that it was always the plan to end the show after seven seasons, something the cast haven't been shy of teasing.
ABC The Freeform drama will come to an end in 2017 after seven huge seasons on the network
ABC The show will take its final twist in April 2017
"They were entirely creative," Burke said of the decisions to end the show.
"It’s rare that you have a chance to send a series out on top, which the feeling very much was that this would achieve.
"It ultimately comes down to [showrunner] Marlene [King] and her vision, and her sense of where the natural place for the narrative to end was, and this was that.
"Knowing that there was an ending point really gave her and [producers] Oliver [Goldstick] and Joe [Dougherty] and Charlie Craig creative license to build very carefully toward something.

"Rarely in television do you get the chance to do that. I think they did wonders with it."
But the exec poured cold water on fan theories of a movie to send the series off.
"Oh no, this is really the end," she said, adding. "As much as there’s a lot of wishful thinking and speculation surrounding anything like this, this has been the understood and agreed-upon natural finishing point."

Jimmy Fallon dressed as Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte for a jaw-dropping speech at the MTV VMAs tonight.
The comedian split viewers when he hit the stage to present the Video of the Year award, giving the controversial impersonation in a full tracksuit with a medal round his neck.
From the moment he hit the mic, he had the crowd gasping, as he centred the set around Lochte's recent controversy, where he claimed to have been robbed at gunpoint in Rio de Janeiro - until CCTV proved him wrong.
Jumping on stage with bright grey hair and a huge medal round his neck, Jimmy began by singing: "Is it too late now to say sorry?"
Jimmy Fallon shocked the crowd
He went on: "That's my jam. It should be my jam, I wrote that song."
He added: "What an amazing year I've had, I'm the one who invented Adele's flip phone"
Not leaving anyone out, Jimmy then joked: "I had a 30-way with Kanye West. I made Lemonade with Queen Bey. I’m Reezy with the good hair!”
As the camera spanned to Michael Phelps, he couldn't hide his shock as he mouthed "Oh my God" to the host.
Not done there, Jimmy then continued to mock Lochte, as he joked: "Who had the Best Video of the year? I can’t tell you that. I couldn’t tell you even if there was a gun to my head, which there isn’t, but I still couldn’t choose.”
It followed quite a speech from Kanye West, who managed to throw shade at both Amber Rose and Taylor Swift.
After praising his close friend Beyonce - despite them being in competition tonight - Kanye called out his ex Amber Rose in the audience, before throwing shade at his rival Taylor, who chose not to attend.

"I might lose to Beyonce, but I can't be mad, I'm always wishing for Beyonce to win," he began, before addressing his latest controversial music video for Fame.

Not done there, he added: "My wife is a G. We came over in the same boat now we’re in the same bed."
The star then went on to speak out about the Chicago attacks, and brought the mood down temporarily - before lifting it again.
Finally making reference to THAT Taylor drama, Kanye said: "Bro, I love all of y’all. That’s why I called her."

Southampton host Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday for a 3pm kick-off at St Mary’s.
The Black Cats have lost both of their opening fixtures this term to Manchester City and Middlesbrough, while Saints are winless themselves after a draw with Watford and defeat by Manchester United .
Southampton could welcome back Ryan Bertrand , who faces a late fitness check after recovering from a knee problem.
Getty Ryan Bertrand, pictured against Arsenal last season, is closing in on a return to action
Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford , meanwhile, is expected to play after Vito Mannone was ruled out for at least three months with an elbow injury.
John O’Shea (hip) Lamine Kone (back), Fabio Borini (toe) and Jeremain Lens (foot) are being assessed ahead of the trip to the south coast.
Billy Jones , Lee Cattermole and Sebastian Larrsson are still out of contention for Sunderland.

Southampton have got the better of the Wearsiders in recent seasons and their only league defeat in the past seven meetings came away in May last year.
In October 2014, The Black Cats suffered a humiliating 8-0 loss at St Mary’s.
Sunderland have failed to win any of their opening three league fixtures for each of the last five years and against Southampton’s strong record at home - eight wins in their last 11 matches - it isn’t hard to see why the hosts are being tipped as hot favourites.

Horrific abuse scandal in town dubbed 'child sex capital of Britain'
| null | null |

Police have been accused of taking too long to act
Police are under fire over a “ Rotherham style ” abuse scandal in a town dubbed the child sex capital of Britain.
Officers are accused of taking too long to probe allegations contained in files stretching to 150 pages.
It is claimed reports of grooming in Telford, Shrops, were logged incorrectly and not taken seriously enough despite an earlier probe that led to seven men being jailed in 2012.
Today, one victim who was hawked among paedophiles and forced to sleep with a string of men, said: “The police have betrayed the children of this town for a second time.
Roland Leon One victim has accused the police of betraying the children of the town for a second time
“I dread to think how many victims there have been over the years – it wouldn’t surprise me if the offending was on the same scale as Rotherham.”
She spoke after it emerged detailed reports had been handed to police by “street pastors” on night patrol.
They include eye-witness accounts of teenagers being sold drugs at underage discos and gangs of older men grooming drunk children.
The reports, compiled over three years, allege older men operate in gangs and circle disco venues, take-aways and kids’ haunts in cars, often approaching youngsters in the street.

Police admitted multiple incidents were markers of potential exploitation, but confessed the reporting system was initially flawed – stunting the gathering of intelligence.
Trained pastors – local church volunteers – began providing information in 2013 after Operation Chalice, which had probed earlier exploitation.
Leading calls for an independent inquiry, the abuse victim said: “I never want any other girl to go through what I did. We need a Rotherham-style inquiry in Telford.
“It has been going on for at least two decades. When will it stop?”
Roland Leon Club Crush Oakengates in the town centre, which holds under 18 disco Energy
We attended discos in licensed premises on several occasions and witnessed older men circling the venue in cars.
We also saw three men in their 20s attempt to gain entry to one venue.
They sped off after spotting the street pastors, who alerted police immediately.
The victim added: “Child safety should be the most important thing and we feel let down by the way evidence has been treated. It is clear there is still a culture of exploitation.”
Roland Leon The Rev Keith Osmund-Smith says his team have given information to police
Street pastors co-ordinator, the Rev Keith Osmund-Smith, told how his team had provided information to police – but he doubts they were always acted on.
He said: “In the early days, the reports went to a number of senior officers.
"Because it was going to so many people, no one was really taking responsibility for it.
“I was never quite sure the things we were reporting were resulting in any serious action. Our reports mainly related to drugs.
Sam Bagnall The street pastors and police outside Club Crush Oakengates in the town centre which holds under 18 disco Energy
“It’s part of child sexual exploitation to get children hooked on drugs.
"We have also walked girls away from cars containing adult males.
"There has now been a significant change. We do have established protocols for reporting incidents and there is a determination to deal with it properly.”
West Mercia Police confirmed the pastors’ intelligence has led to suspects being identified.
Underage discos in licensed premises have been stopped, in a bid to protect potential victims.
Movie mouse Stuart Little was used on some social media ads enticing kids to discos.
Allegations go back at least 20 years of child sex abuse at the hands of gangs in Telford, predominantly from the town’s Pakistani community.
Operation Chalice bore chilling echoes of what happened in Rotherham, South Yorks.
Sam Bagnall The street pastors and police outside Club Crush Oakengates in the town centre which holds under 18 disco Energy
Many abusers had connections to fast food restaurants, where victims were sold to workers for sex.
Police said 100 girls could have been targeted in Telford between 2007 and 2009 alone.
Home Office figures show the town still has the highest child sex crime rate in the country.
There were 15.1 reported per 10,000 residents in the year to September 2015, up almost 150 per cent.

Telford’s population is 155,000 – meaning a potential 225 victims.
Rochdale, Lancs, was second in the league of shame with 14.1 child sex crimes per 10,000 residents.
Next came Rotherham and Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs, both on 13.5.
Supt Tom Harding, of West Mercia Police, admitted some alleged crimes had not been logged in the same way as calls to 999 or 101 numbers but claimed this was because pastors did not report them as live incidents.
Sam Bagnall The street pastors outside Club Crush Oakengates in the town centre which holds under 18 disco Energy
However, retrospective reports by members of the public via 101 are ordinarily logged as incidents.
Pastors now report all suspicious activity by phone as soon as it is spotted and are helping police investigations.
And Supt Harding insisted communication had improved dramatically.
He added: “Incidents identified by pastors point to potential signs of child sexual exploitation and we use this as intelligence, to target individuals who may need to be investigated.”

The Rotherham inquiry sent shockwaves through Britain.
It revealed 1,400 girls fell victim over 16 years, predominantly at the hands of men from the town’s Pakistani community.
Inquiry chief Professor Alexis Jay said girls as young as 11 were raped, tortured, beaten and even set on fire.
South Yorkshire Police had not prioritised the problem while council officials “underplayed” the abuse.
This year, four men from one family and two women were jailed for a total of 104 years for sex crimes.

A 13-year-old Brit has washed up on a beach in a French town after disappearing last week.
The boy, known only by his first name Quinlan, from Colchester, Essex, was on holiday with his family in the northern French town of Boulogne.
It is thought he was dragged out to sea by a strong undercurrent as he swam with his two brothers, aged eight and ten, at 6.30pm on August 15.
His body was found this morning.
A major search operation was carried out until nightfall but rescuers could not find the boy.

A search then continued along a ten-mile stretch of the Channel coast.
A spokesman said at the time: "With this water temperature, we estimate the chances of survival at one, two or three hours, depending on the circumstances.
"He could have been carried a fair distance away by the current. We now only expect to find his body."
However local media have reported that the boy has washed up on the beach.

Woman held captive for 18 years CAN'T sue government for failing to supervise kidnapper on parole
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Jaycee Dugard was just 11 when she was abducted in 1991
A woman who was kidnapped and help captive for 18 years by a convicted sex offender cannot sue the US government for failing to properly supervise him on parole, a court has ruled.
Jaycee Dugard was just 11 when she was snatched near to her California home by Phillip Garrido, who kept her prisoner in a warren of sheds and tents in his backyard.
She was repeatedly raped and gave birth to two daughters in captivity in the northern California community of Antioch.
Dugard's plight was eventually revealed in 2009 when Garrido brought her and her children to a parole office that had been contacted by police at the University of California, Berkeley, who had become suspicious of him.
Reuters Garrido was jailed for 431 years to life
Authorities later apologised for missing numerous chances to find him in violation of his parole and rescue Dugard and her daughters.
Dugard was abducted in June 1991 as she walked home from school near South Lake Tahoe.
She received a $20 million settlement from the state of California.
Dugard was held captive in tents in Garrido's backyard
She gave birth to two daughters in the makeshift prison
She separately sued the federal government, which oversaw Garrido's parole beginning in 1988, on the grounds that if its agents had done their job adequately he would not have been free to kidnap her three years later.
That lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge, prompting Dugard's appeal to the 9th Circuit.
WENN Dugard was freed in 2009
A three-member panel of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco decided 2-1 that while the crimes against Jaycee Dugard were horrific, the interaction of state and federal statutes did not hold the government liable for the incompetence of parole officers in such cases.
"While our hearts are with Ms. Dugard, the law is not," Judge John Owens wrote in a 14-page ruling upholding a lower court that dismissed the lawsuit.
Judge William Smith dissented from that opinion, arguing that his colleagues in the majority had improperly applied the so-called Federal Claims Tort Act.
Garrido was twice arrested for kidnapping and sexual assault in the 1970s before he was convicted in 1977 of abducting a woman in South Lake Tahoe and driving her to Nevada, where he hid her in a shed and raped her.
He was released from federal prison on parole in 1988, with his supervision to be taken over by the state of California in 1999.
According to the appeals ruling parole officers failed to report some 70 drug-related parole violations by Garrido to their superiors.

Worshippers have been left baffled after noticing a statue of the Virgin Mary crying at a university church in Honduras.
Priest Juan Angel Lopez said today that he was certain the weeping statue has not been faked - but he too had no idea what was causing the unusual occurrence.
People first noticed the strange goings on with the effigy at the Campus Santiago Apostle, in the Catholic University of Honduras at the weekend.
Spooky footage shows tears welling-up in the statue's eyes before they eventually fall down its cheek.
Priest Lopez is then seen talking to the camera before wiping away the tears with a tissue.
Priest Juan Angel Lopez said he was certain the weeping statue has not been faked
Priest Lopez, who is the Pastor of the Iglesia Santo Domingo Savio church in nearby Tegucigalpa said he had seen the statue at the St James campus in the El Paraiso area.
He told Honduras website La Prensa : "I'm not saying it's true, I'm saying it's possible.

"In this case, I suspect that there is no falsehood because I know people who run the Campus Santiago Apostle.
"I know the seriousness of people who have recorded the video and do not think they would fake it."

Joe Hart ready to accept Torino loan offer as he looks for Manchester City exit route
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Joe Hart has given the thumbs up to a loan move to Torino.
Hart has told Torino he is ready to accept their offer to resurrect his club career in Serie A .
The England goalkeeper accepts he must leave Manchester City after being axed by Pep Guardiola and favours the Italian side over Sunderland.
Torino are seventh in the fledgling Serie A table, after finishing 12th last season, and Hart is attracted by the idea of playing abroad rather than being part of a relegation fight at Sunderland.
The main stumbling block to the deal has been what percentage of Hart's £120,000-a-week salary Torino are willing to pay.
Reuters Benched: Hart has been restricted to the sidelines this season
The Turin side want City to cover most of Hart's wages and his camp have spent the day locked in talks with Blues officials.
The signs are positive and Hart could fly out to Italy tomorrow for a medical and to seal his move.

Torino claim they have other options if they cannot agree a deal with City for Hart.
Action Images via Reuters Hart was again on the bench for the win against West Ham
Director Gianluca Petrachi said: "The goalkeeper is an idea we wanted to follow. If it's Hart, then good, otherwise we will certainly be doing something on the market for that role."

A 78-year-old pensioner who has never picked up a musical instrument before claims he can suddenly play the piano after having a stroke .
Roy Calloway from Swansea said he discovered his newfound talent after acquiring a piano from a late friend.
He said: "A friend of mine passed away and he had a piano. He had been in a band and his son asked me to keep the piano as I had the room for it and he didn't.
"We moved it into the house and I sat down next to it to have a look. It was some time after the stroke, and I just wanted to try and play it.
Wales News Service Roy Calloway acquired the piano from a late friend
"I played and I couldn't believe it. It was just as my friend's son was walking into the room and he asked if I had ever played before and that he didn't know I could play. I told him I couldn't.
"It just came out naturally and I was in shock. I had a heart bypass around 20 years ago and ever since, I've had problems with my heart. I've had countless strokes, but this was the first time anything was noticeably different afterwards."
Wales News Service The 78-year-old from Swansea has never picked up a musical instrument in his life
The Swansea pensioner said he had now replaced his friend's piano with an organ, adding: "It's lovely and it has a beautiful sound."
He said he had not gained any other skills since his stroke, Wales Online reported .
Roy added: "I haven't found anything else I can do that I couldn't before since having the stroke. But to be able to play the piano like this is enough."

Five teenage boys aged 15 and 16 have been arrested after a Polish man was killed in a suspected racially-motivated attack .
Police said they have launched a murder inquiry after the 40-year-old, named as Arek Jozwik, was beaten and left unconscious on the ground outside a takeaway before being taken to hospital , where he later died.
Officers claim the suspects walked up to the man and his friend - both Polish - who were standing outside shops in Harlow, Essex, and began hurling abuse before launching a 'vicious assault'.
Paying tribute to Arek, his brother Radek, said: "He really was a family person who spent a lot of time with my kids, he didn't have any kids but had been close with my kids.

"My kids have been with me in the hospital, crying all the time."
Essex Police were called to the scene at 11.35pm on Saturday where they found the man in a critical condition, suffering from serious head injuries.
He was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital before being transferred to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, where he died last night.

His 43-year-old friend, who is also believed to be Polish, was treated for fractures to his hands and also had bruising to his stomach and has since been discharged.
Officers say the alleged attack outside the TGF Pizza and Mr Luigi’s takeaway shops is being treated as a 'potential hate crime'.
Officers arrested five teenage boys - four aged 15 and a 16-year-old - all from Harlow, Essex, on suspicion of attempted murder.

They were later re-arrested on suspicion of murder and police are appealing for information.
Senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Al Pitcher of the Kent and Essex Crime Directorate said: "This is now a murder investigation and our enquiries have quickly led to the arrest of five teenage boys.
"Following this vicious attack, a man has sadly lost his life and I urge anyone with information to contact us as soon as possible."
Speaking ahead of the arrests yesterday, DI Pitcher said: “This was an extremely vicious and unprovoked attack.
“At this stage we are treating the assault as a potential hate crime but the motive remains unclear and we are continuing to keep an open mind.
“From our initial enquiries, we understand the victims were chatting and eating together when they were approached by a group of teenage boys.
“They were verbally abused before being assaulted and knocked unconscious.

“It is not yet clear how many attackers there were, but the suspects were part of a group of about 15 to 20 youths, both girls and boys.
"We understand not all these people were involved and we believe there will be witnesses who were deeply shocked by what took place.
“We know they may find it hard to come forward, but we would encourage them to discuss it with their parents and to contact police. They can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously if they are afraid to give their name or speak directly with us.
“This was a brutal assault and we are grateful for the public’s support so far in coming forward with information to help us identify those responsible for this horrific incident and bring them to justice.”
Police will be carrying out extra patrols in the area and we are working with our partners to provide reassurance to the community.
Anyone with information about assault is asked to contact the Harlow Major Investigation Team on 101.

A horrifying video shows workers at a hospital in India snap the bones of a woman's body - so it would be easier to carry.
The mobile phone footage shows a staff member stand over the dead body of 76-year-old widow Salamani Barik, press his foot against it and break the bone.
The man and a colleague are then seen cramming the body into a large plastic bag and securing it to a bamboo stick so they can carry it 2km through the streets of Balasore in the state of Odisha.
Mrs Barik lay for hours at a community health centre after she was hit by a train on Wednesday, reports NDTV .
The hospital staff took the extreme action because the the area has no post-mortem facilities, so she had to be taken to a hospital 30 km away by train.
NDTV Hospital workers broke the bones of a body to make it easier to carry
NDTV The horrified son of the woman whose body was broken
An auto-rickshaw was too expensive, so police allegedly asked a sweeper to arrange for the body to be taken to the station.
The body had become stiff, so the workers broke the hip to fit it into a bag.
"They carried my mother in a broken condition. I am helpless to do anything. I pray to the authorities for justice," said the woman's son Rabindra Barik.
The Odisha Human Rights Commission has asked for an explanation from the railway police and the Balasore district authorities.

New security fears for England tour to Bangladesh as former coach admits he quit coaching role over terrorism
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Mal Loye has told England's players to "go for it" and tour Bangladesh but admits he quit a coaching role in the country amid worries the Australia team would be targeted by terrorists.
Former England one-day international batsman Loye, now 43, was appointed high performance head coach by the Bangladesh Cricket Board in May 2015.
Last month's attack at the Holey Artisan Bakery cafe in Dhaka saw 20 hostages and two police officers killed and was claimed by militant group Islamic State, but it was the shooting dead of an Italian man last September that first alarmed Loye.
He believes the Australia cricket team were the subject of a terror plot, prompting their decision to pull out of a planned tour last autumn.
Loye spent last summer in his coaching role and left Bangladesh as a spate of attacks on westerners began.
He said: "The week I left, the Australia team didn't turn up because the terrorists had planned to take us out when we had an event sorted with the touring team.
"The Australian Government saw the plans from the underworld guys about what was going to happen. The plans didn't work out for the terrorists because the Australia team didn't arrive there.
Picture gallery: England beat Pakistan in first ODI
"The Italians got shot that week. The terrorists obviously thought they'd take a few people out while they were there. That was enough for me. I knew after the shootings that my freedom as a westerner had gone."
Loye expects England will be well protected in their series that spans October and November, and told the Mail on Sunday: "'I'm sure when the England boys get there, things will be sorted. I was a westerner on my own but the way the guys will be looked after, they should definitely go for it."
The England and Wales Cricket Board's security expert Reg Dickason recently led a fact-finding visit to the country and reported back.
England have two Tests and three one-day internationals planned, in Dhaka and Chittagong, between October 7 and November 1, and the ECB has said the tour will go ahead.

Hull join Aston Villa and Derby in race for £14million Bristol City striker Jonathan Kodjia

On his way: Kodjia is set for a big-money move
Hull are battling with Aston Villa and Derby to sign £14million-rated Bristol City striker Jonathan Kodjia.
Kodjia, 27, was left out of City’s 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Saturday and will leave Ashton Gate before the transfer window closes.
Hull caretaker-manager Mike Phelan is keen to take the Ivory Coast ace to Humberside to bolster the Tigers' threadbare squad.
Kodjia cost City just £2.1million from French club Angers 13 months ago but his price tag has soared after scoring 20 goals last season.
The Championship club are lining up a £3million swoop for Derby’s Scotland international striker Johnny Russell to replace Kodjia.

Rail tickets could be a thing of the past as 'super smart' app charges customers automatically
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
Tickets for train travel could become a thing of the past under trials for 'super smart' charging direct to passengers' phones.
If successful the trial could see the phasing out of traditional paper tickets and even see the end of 'touch in, touch out' ticket barriers.
Under the hi-tech scheme, beacons at train stations would pick up Bluetooth signals from smartphones in passengers' bags or pockets at the start and end of their journeys.
Passengers would be automatically charged the best price for their journey on an app linked to a bank account on their smartphones.
The year-long trial gets underway later this year on Chiltern Railways, which operates services between London and Birmingham.
Getty/Daily Mirror High-tech scheme would charge customers without them needing to buy a ticket
The move comes after long-standing complaints by passengers and watchdogs that the rail industry has been too slow to update the outdated ticketing system.
Rail operators have come under fire in recent years for failure to simplify the ticketing system to meet the demands of modern passengers.
Campaigners have been calling for a system that is fair to people working two or three days a week who lose out on the discounts given to those who buy monthly or yearly season tickets.
There have also been concerns that with widespread ticket office closures, passengers are forced to rely on machines which often fail to provide the best value ticket.
Rex Contactless payments could be phased out
The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) is part-funding the trial and said technology was now in place to automate the entire ticketing process.
And states there was "no chance of the customer buying an inappropriate ticket for their entire journey."
Rail industry experts said other operators would be watching the trials and they could be rolled out across other networks.
The trial will involve 60 regular commuters testing the 'hands-free' system on a number of stations between Oxford and London's Marylebone Station.
Dave Penney, Chiltern Railways boss, said:"Bluetooth sensors and geo-location tracking are used to open ticket gates and determine journeys taken, then the customer is billed at the end of the day with a best-value guarantee ensuring that they are charged the appropriate fare for their journeys. This could be the next evolution of rail ticketing."

This time last year she was gearing up for her presenting debut on the X Factor .
But tonight, Caroline Flack is a lot more laid back.
The presenter, who was given the boot after last year's series of the ITV talent show, shared a steamy picture with fans as she relaxed in the bath.
Posing with her legs in the air and her head poking out the top of a steel standalone tub, Caroline looks like she doesn't have a care in the world.
Instagram Chilling out
Sharing the snap from what looks like an idyllic location, she wrote on Instagram: "Crazeeeeee eyes."
Tonight the talent show is back with Dermot O'Leary, 43, taking up his role as host again.
Caroline and her co-host Olly Murs were ditched as hosts after last year's series, following a number of on-air gaffes.
Speaking about his return, Dermot said: "There were some nerves beforehand and I was emotional on my first day, but it felt like going home.

"It feels very natural to be back on The X Factor as the judges are all familiar to me. We’re all singing from the same hymn sheet."
Asked about chatting to Simon Cowell , Dermot added: "It was actually a really pleasant afternoon. We drank tea and he asked me what changes I would make.
"I wanted to make The X Factor as warm an experience as possible for the auditioners, even if they’ve not done well. I think we’ve achieved that. Everyone enjoyed themselves."

Shana Grice was found dead at her home after failing to turn up for work
A "kind and caring" 19-year-old girl has been found dead in her home as police arrest a 27-year-old man on suspicion of murder .
Shana Grice was discovered on Thursday at her home in Brighton, East Sussex after failing to turn up for work .
Today her devastated boyfriend Ash Cooke, 21, revealed he is coming to terms with his loss by getting a 'Shana' tattoo in her memory.
The couple, who had been together for three-and-a-half years, were planning on starting a family next year and went on holiday to Mexico with friends earlier this year.
The self-employed kitchen fitter last saw his girlfriend yesterday morning at about 7am as he said goodbye to her at the front door of her home.
They made plans to have dinner together this evening, before attending Ash's uncle's wedding together tomorrow.
But less than three hours later, police were called to the address over concerns for the welfare of Shana, after she had not arrived at work in the morning.
Shauna and her heartbroken boyfriend Ash Cook
They discovered her body alone in the house and, while the cause of death is yet to be established, detectives are treating it as suspicious.
Ash told how he has answered questions from officers, who have taken his mobile, and is today asking why anyone would want to kill his girlfriend.
He said: "I don't have my mobile at the moment - the police have got it - and obviously I don't want to say too much about their investigation.
"Shana was the nicest person you could ever wish to meet.
"We have been together just over three-and-a-half years and we had plans. We had my uncle's wedding on Saturday and dinner tonight.
"We were planning to have children together next year and we were all ready to settle down, but now all that's not going to happen."
"She was supposed to finish work today and I was going to be meeting her then to go out for dinner," he continued.
"I was with her yesterday morning, that's when I last saw her because I stayed with her Wednesday night.
"I start work early and I have to leave hers at 7am in the morning to get ready.
"She was awake and came to the door, we had a kiss and a cuddle and said goodbye, and then she locked the door after I left.
"I was working in Saltdean and as soon as I knew something wasn't right I knew I had to try and find her.
"I jumped in my van and rushed back to hers as fast as I could."
Facebook The pair were planning to have children
Tragically, he learnt of his girlfriend's death when he arrived.
He added: "She was a really kind girl, and she cared about everyone. I don't know why anyone would do this to her because she wasn't a nasty person and looked after everyone.
"Everyone loves her, as you can see from the tributes on social media.
"I'm getting a big Shana tattoo, it's quite a big arm piece as a tribute to her."
Ash continues to assist the police in their investigation, and will return to the force's Lewes base to sign the statement he made to officers yesterday.
A Sussex Police spokesman said: "A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a woman at an address in Mile Oak.
"Just before 9.45am on Thursday police were called to the address in Chrisdory Road, Mile Oak, over concerns for the welfare of a 18-year woman living there who had not arrived at work in the morning.
"The body of a woman, believed to be the resident, was found inside the house. Formal identification has not yet taken place.
"Nobody else was in the house at the time.
"The cause of death has not yet been established but it is being treated as suspicious and detectives from the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, led by Detective Chief Inspector Paul Rymarz, are investigating.
"A 27-year old Portslade man was arrested on Thursday afternoon at an address in Burgess Hill on suspicion of murder and is currently in custody for interview and further enquiries.
"Our thoughts are with the deceased and with her family and friends, who are receiving our support at this time."
Solent Detectives have arrested a 27-year-old man in connection with the death
Friends of Shana also took to Facebook to pay tribute to their friend.
Geo Pettman wrote: "Ever such a distressing reminder that the world is never as it seems, life is such a precious thing Shana Grice will forever be in everyone's heart."
Sinead Smythe said: "Heaven has gained such a beautiful angel . I cannot believe what has happened. You were such a great soul!
"My thoughts are with everyone who knew her dearly. Forever in all our hearts. Rest in peace Shana Grice you will never be forgotten."
Hassan Zerrouk, of Brighton, added: "You will be 100% missed Shana Grice!"

Dan Osborne responded with the best comeback after one of his Instagram followers accused him of using steroids.
Buff Dan is a gym regular as he keeps his body looking in tip top shape, and often posts snaps of his work outs.
On Saturday, the former TOWIE star shared a video showing off his toned physique shoulders as he laid on a bench.
“We’re just getting started! #ironparadise,” he wrote next to it.
Underneath the clip, an Instagram user wrote: “Roid head and so are all u Golds gym c**** put a pin in use and burst (sic).”
Dan then fired back: "1. Never touched that in my life.. 2. I go to David Lloyd.. 3. Stop hating on people cause your lazy ass don't wanna work hard. Get the f**k off my Instagram b***h (sic).”
His fans also came to his defence, saying they were clearly just jealous.
It comes just weeks after Dan's other half Jacqueline blasted "vile" teens for making cruel comments about their daughter.

The actress let rip on social media after being trolled on Instagram for a picture showing her posing with her 18-month-old girl.
"I am on one today! Stupid 15 year old writing comments about my daughter on pictures of her! Go away you vile little insects," she fumed.
Alongside the picture on Instagram she also raged about "low life freaks that have horrible things to say about innocent children."

A specific diet could slash the risk of early death for millions of Brits
A Mediterranean diet is better than statins at slashing the risk of an early death for millions of Brits.
A landmark seven-year study found the healthy eating regime is twice as effective as the drugs alone at boosting the lifespan of heart patients.
Seven million Brits live with cardiovascular disease . The vast majority take statins every day, which can produce unwanted side effects.
The “extraordinary” findings were presented at the world’s biggest heart conference in Rome, Italy.
In the first ever study to look at the impact of a Med diet on heart patients, experts found a diet high in fruit , vegetables, fish, nuts and olive oil slashed the risk of an early death by 37%.
Getty The Mediterranean diet is twice as effective as drugs alone
Previous research found just taking statins cuts mortality by 18%.
And leading experts said the discovery meant heart patients should be prescribed the Med diet before being given cholesterol-busting drugs.
Others hailed the breakthrough research as proof that the Med diet is “more powerful than any drug” and said it was “time for the NHS to embrace lifestyle medicine”.
Speaking at the annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology, Professor Giovanni de Gaetano, of the Neuromed Institute in Pozzilli, Italy, said: “We found that among those with a higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet, death from any cause was reduced by 37% in comparison to those who poorly adhered to this dietary regime.”

He added: “We know that taking drugs like statins for prevention can reduce mortality by around 20%.
“The message is that it is not only drugs that should be considered for secondary prevention, but also the Mediterranean diet.”
He also suggested that following the Med diet could reduce the need for drugs.
He added: “Adhering to the Mediterranean diet can reduce mortality for any cause to a large extent. It is a powerful means to reduce all causes of death.”
Speaking in Rome, he added: “The Mediterranean diet may be more effective than drugs .

“We are not saying exclude the use of drugs. We are saying that first of all doctors should consider diet before drugs.
"It could allow patients to get the benefits of statins but without the side effects.”
Lead author Dr Marialaura Bonaccio revealed: “The major contributors to mortality risk reduction were a higher consumption of vegetables, fish, fruits, nuts and monounsaturated fatty acids - that means olive oil.”
Researchers followed 1,200 Italians with heart disease over seven years.
Professor de Gaetano said: “The Mediterranean diet is widely recognised as one of the healthier nutrition habits in the world.

“But so far research has focused on the general population, which is mainly composed of healthy people.
"What happens to people who have already suffered from cardiovascular disease? Is the Mediterranean diet optimal for them too?”
The study results, released for the first time this weekend, proved the answer is yes.
The 1,200 heart patients were among 25,000 participants enrolled into the MOLI-SANI project, a prospective epidemiological study that randomly recruited adults living in Molise, Italy.
Dr Bonaccio said: “Among the participants, we identified 1,197 people who reported a history of cardiovascular disease at the time of enrolment into MOLI-SANI.”
The diet can help cut the risk of heart disease
Researchers recorded the food intake of the participants using the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (EPIC) food frequency questionnaire.
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was appraised with a 9-point Mediterranean diet score (MDS).
Over seven years, there were 208 deaths. After controlling for age, sex, education, exercise, smoking, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, diabetes and cancer, a 2-point increase in the Mediterranean diet score was linked with a 21% reduced risk of death.
When considered as a 3-level categorical variable, the top category - a score of 6 to 9 - of adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with a 37% lower risk of death compared to the bottom category (a score of 0-3).
A previous study of 92 trials involving 200,000 patients found that people with cardiovascular disease were 18% less likely to die early if they took statins.
Getty Giving up smoking is also important
Researchers said the next step would be to investigate why exactly the Mediterranean diet helps reduce the risk of dying early.
Professor de Gaetano concluded: “These results prompt us to investigate the mechanism(s) through which the Mediterranean diet may protect against death.
“This was an observational study so we cannot say that the effect is causal.
"We expect that dietary effects on mediators common to chronic diseases such as inflammation might result in the reduction of mortality from any cause but further research is needed.”
British experts said it was likely to be the “powerful anti-inflammatory effects” of the Mediterranean diet that slashes the risk of an early death.
Getty The diet could help reduce the risk of heart disease
Dr Aseem Malhotra, one of the world’s leading cardiologists, hailed the results as “extraordinary” and added that eating well is better than taking drugs for heart protection.
He said: “The results of this robust observational study are quite extraordinary and confirms previous randomised controlled trial data that the Mediterranean diet is more powerful than any drug at reducing death rates in patients with cardiovascular disease.
“It’s the powerful anti-inflammatory effects of foods such as olive oil, nuts, oily fish and vegetables where the benefits lie and unlike cholesterol-lowering statin drugs come without side effects.
He added: “It’s time for the NHS to embrace lifestyle medicine to rapidly save it from the collapse being predominantly driven by diet related disease.”
Professor Jeremy Pearson, Associate Medical Director of the British Heart Foundation, said: “It is good to know that even if you already have a history of cardiovascular disease, adhering to a Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of death.
“This study suggests that even if you are already receiving medical care, if you add a Mediterranean diet, it will have further benefit.
"Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, even if you have had a heart attack or stroke is really important and continues to benefit you.”

Chelsea lead Manchester United at the top of the Premier League after both sides continued their 100% records in the new season.
The two clubs both boast new coaches settling into their surroundings, but the Blues' mauling of Burnley and United's last-gasp win at Hull ensured that they both go into the international break locked together on nine points.
Conte's men, however, lead United by virtue of having scored one more goal at this embryonic stage of the Premier League season.
Manchester City will be looking to join them on Sunday afternoon.
Premier League Top 4 Table Week 3
Stoke are the rock-bottom strugglers after three games, with just a single point, after a thrashing by Man City damaged their goal difference.
Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Sunderland and Watford have the same point total.
This season's surprise package Hull City fell out of the Champions League places after that agonising defeat at home to United.
Mike Phelan's side are fifth, but it is still not clear whether the former United assistant boss will be handed the long-term reins on Humberside.
Everton, under their own new boss, Ronald Koeman, have gatecrashed the top four after an impressive start to the campaign.
They outplayed Spurs on opening day before winning at West Brom and then defeating Stoke on Saturday afternoon.

Record-breaking galaxy cluster discovered 11.1 billion light years from Earth and it's spitting out thousands of new stars
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

NASA scientists have discovered new galaxies 11.1 billion light years from Earth that are spitting out thousands of new stars every year.
The CL 1001 cluster could have been caught right after birth - an important stage of galactic evolution that has never been recorded before.
Scientists have said it is going through an “amazing growth spurt” unlike anything they have seen before and is forming stars at a rate equivalent to more than 3,000 Suns every year.
The discovery pushes back the formation time of galaxy clusters – the largest structures in the Universe held together by gravity – by about 700 million years.
Tao Wang of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission, who led the research, said: “This galaxy cluster isn’t just remarkable for its distance, it’s also going through an amazing growth spurt unlike any we’ve ever seen.”
Co-author David Elbaz added: “It appears that we have captured this galaxy cluster at a critical stage just as it has shifted from a loose collection of galaxies into a young, but fully formed galaxy cluster.”
The results suggest that elliptical galaxies in galaxy clusters like CL J1001 may form their stars during shorter and more violent outbursts than elliptical galaxies that are outside clusters.
It is also now thought that much of the star formation in these galaxies happens after the galaxies fall onto the cluster, not before.
The result is based on data from a large group of observatories in space and on the ground including Chandra, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.

Jose Mourinho gives England boss Sam Allardyce the green light to recall Manchester United defender Luke Shaw
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Sam Allardyce has been given the green light by Jose Mourinho to give Luke Shaw an England recall.
Allardyce rang Manchester United boss Mourinho to make a check on 21-year-old Shaw who has made an impressive start to the campaign after his horrific leg break last September.
Shaw, 21, who has already won six senior caps, is set to come into Allardyce’s first England squad which is named on Sunday night.
Leicester’s Danny Drinkwater is another likely inclusion after missing out on the Euros while James Milner has retired from international duty. Fabian Delph is also in the mix.
England boss Allardyce has also made enquiries about Burnley’s former England under-21 centre half Michael Keane amid a worrying lack of defenders.
REUTERS Back in action: Luke Shaw takes on Leicester City's Danny Simpson
Chris Smalling has not been playing at Manchester United which even prompted talk of a recall for John Terry but that is unlikely to happen any time soon. Gary Cahill and John Stones are favourites to start in Slovakia in the first World Cup qualifier on September 4.
They are also keeping tabs on Middlesbrough’s England under-21 defender Ben Gibson with under-21s boss Gareth Southgate believing he is one for the future.
Allardyce is at Everton’s game with Stoke so can run the rule over Ryan Shawcross and Phil Jagielka while his assistant Sammy Lee will watch Manchester United’s trip to Hull.
They will name the squad on Sunday night after Manchester City’s game with West Ham and the squad then report up at St George’s Park on Monday.
Allardyce plans to tell the players his starting line-up early in the week so they can spend several days working on the formation, tactics and shape.

Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne have had troubles after his fling hair stylist Michelle Pugh
X Factor judge Louis Walsh vows Sharon Osbourne will never abandon cheating husband Ozzy as they are “peas in a pod”.
The music boss told how he helped Sharon through her heartbreak after Ozzy’s betrayal with hair stylist Michelle Pugh.
But he added: “She’s been emotional but they will always be together.”
Louis, returning to the ITV show after being axed two years ago, explained: “I was out with Sharon and Ozzy in LA and they are like two peas in a pod, they are made for each other.
“They love each other. That’s it. They’ll always be together. She gets emotional... because she’s a very good mother.
“She’s a very good person. Just don’t cross her. I adore her.”
TALKBACK THAMES Louis says he helped Sharon through her heartbreak
He added: “She will probably bring Ozzy on the show.”
Louis spoke out after Sharon, 63, said she wanted her hubby to publicly say sorry on her American chat show The Talk.
Earlier this month Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy revealed he is undergoing “intense therapy” for a “sex addiction” that nearly trashed their relationship.
The singer, 67, said he was “mortified” at the effect of his behaviour on his family and his 34-year marriage.
Louis, 63, also said he’d pushed for Nicole Scherzinger to be on the X Factor panel, saying: “I canvassed for Nicole - Sharon and I both did.”
ITV The new X Factor line up
But despite saying he had also championed Rita Ora to return, he could not recall her name.
Louis went on to say he loved the young, fresh appeal of the judges, saying they’d done “so much work” to their faces.
He added: “Sharon’s the best she’s ever looked.”
X Factor returns to ITV tonight at 8pm

Sadie Hartley's heartbroken children put house where she was brutally stabbed to death up for sale

The house where Sadie Hartley was stabbed to death has been put up for sale by her family
The luxury home where Sadie Hartley was stabbed to death has been put up for sale by her heartbroken family.
The five-bedroom property is on the market for £535,000 but the estate agent’s blurb makes no mention of the horrific murder by evil Sarah Williams in January.
Businesswoman Mrs Hartley’s love-rat partner Ian Johnston has complained of having “lost everything” after being kicked out of the house and left out of her will.
The mum-of-two, 60, was stunned with a 500,000 volt gun and knifed 41 times in a frenzied attack by Williams, 35, after opening the front door of her home in Helmshore, Lancs.
Williams had become fixated with her former lover – and Mrs Hartley’s partner – ski-instructor Mr Johnston, 57.
PA Sadie Hartley was stunned with a volt gun before being knifed 41 times by Sarah Williams
The killer and accomplice Katrina Walsh, 56, spent 17 months plotting the “perfect murder” before carrying out the attack in an “orgy of violence”.
This month both were jailed for life after a seven-week trial at Preston Crown Court.
Williams must serve at least 30 years and Walsh 25 years.
Last week it was reported Walsh had continually tried to blame the murder on Williams – even claiming her ex-pal planned to poison her with prawns.
After the verdict, Mr Johnston said Mrs Hartley’s family gave him a day to get out of her house after learning of the killing.
The trial heard Mr Johnston started an affair with Williams after meeting her at Manchester’s Chill Factore indoor ski slope in December 2012.

It was over by October 2014 but bitter Williams later wrote to Mrs Hartley to expose the affair.
She described having “unbelievably fantastic” sex with Mr Johnston.
Mr Johnston told the court he had not met Williams again after the letter, sent a year before the murder, but admitted being “foolish” in sending explicit messages 10 days before the horrific attack.
After the trial he sobbed: “There’s been no contact with Sadie’s family from the minute they found out she was dead.
“I’ve lost everything. Can you imagine? This eight months has just been the most horrendous, you just get a kicking every day and I want the kicking to stop now and I know it won’t for a while.
“And if anybody wants to blame that on a few ridiculous, bloody texts then it’s just outrageous.

"There was nothing I could do to foresee or stop this. I wasn’t culpable in the death of Sadie.”
Mrs Hartley’s body was found in the hallway of her home.
The estate agent calls the property ideal for a professional family: “A substantial five bedroom detached family home in a highly regarded woodland setting.”

Some jobs let you go home to sleep
Recruitment firms, banks and supermarkets have been named as among the best companies for offering staff a decent work-life balance.
A study by jobs site Glassdoor named recruiters Goodman Masson as top of the list, followed by technology firm Cisco Systems and home insurers HomeServe.
Others in the top 20 included Apple, Lloyds Banking Group, Waitrose, John Lewis and Screwfix.
Diarmuid Russell of Glassdoor said: "Maintaining a healthy work-life balance can be tough in today's environment, with ever-increasing demands on our time.
"As millions of employees head back to work after the Bank Holiday, our report shows there are companies that offer a good balance between their home and work life."
Greg Reed, chief marketing officer at HomeServe, said; "We believe if you take care of your people, they will take care of your customers and the rest will take care of itself.
"This means creating a culture where people genuinely enjoy coming to work every day because they feel engaged and feel what they do really makes a difference in our customers' lives.
"Work is such a big part of our lives so how we feel when we are at work and what we feel about work when we are at home really matters."

Manchester United transfer news LIVE: Latest updates throughout Deadline Day

Key Events So Far 1 hour ago Don't rule out Fabinho
07:45 tweet Mendes in Madrid? Maybe trying to get James a lucrative move that doesn’t include a trip to China in a few months.
07:43 Latest on Fabinho Get French Football News claims Monaco want €35m for Fabinho and have already knocked back offers from Atletico Madrid and Napoli. They add: “There is a possibility that on deadline day, an English club could make an offer that is too tempting for AS Monaco to resist.”
07:38 tweet Looking ahead to the derby The Big Guy gets to reunite with the ‘spineless coward’.
07:35 Liverpool defender to scupper Jones to Stoke? Liverpool want Mamadou Sakho to head out on loan and both West Brom and Stoke are keen. Should Stoke manage to convince the Frenchman to brave the throng of Potters outside the club’s training ground on deadline day, then that’d almost certainly kill off any lingering possibility of Phil Jones joining them on loan. However, Sky Sports News says Sakho doesn’t want to go to Stoke.
07:25 tweet United 'reject Darmian request' Inter wanted him, apparently.
07:13 Mourinho 'furious with Schweinsteiger' Mourinho is said to be furious Bastian Schweinsteiger rejected a free transfer to Sporting Lisbon. The Star claims United even agreed to pay a chunk of the 32-year-old’s wages but Schweinsteiger stood by his decision not to play for another European club. That has apparently led to Mourinho vowing to never play Schweinsteiger again and will give academy graduates a chance ahead of the World Cup winner.
07:05 Rooney on United “I’ve said to United I want to stay there, finish my career there, so it’s a case of sitting down with United when the time’s right.” He’s out of contract in 2019, when he’ll be 33. It is difficult to envisage Rooney having the kind of impact in his mid-late 30s as Giggs or Scholes.
06:08 Stuart Mathieson Don't rule out Fabinho “If United are to make one addition on deadline day, Monaco defender Fabinho could be a left-field move. He’s one I wouldn’t rule out at all.”

The idyllic Caribbean getaway has glorious sunshine, crystalline green waters while the noise of pelicans can be heard overhead

Virgin Islands paradise might be named Bitter End but it is anything but
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
The “bitter end” is a nautical term used for the final few inches of an anchor cable.
It’s more widely known as the conclusion of a difficult or unpleasant situation.
It is also, I would suggest, a wholly inappropriate name for an idyllic Caribbean getaway.
I’m on the island of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands.
A lazy sun dapples the crystalline green waters of the North Sound, while overhead pelicans soar on thermals from the balmy trade winds.
Bitter End, a 65 acre site for sore eyes, is an internationally renowned yachting and water sports destination, nestled in a former pirates’ lair once frequented by Blackbeard and his buccaneering buddies.
Under the canvas at Anegada Beach Club
It now offers 58 places to stay, two restaurants, an accredited sailing school and almost a mile of shoreline overlooking one of the most tranquil seas imaginable, with a clear line of sight straight down the Sir Francis Drake Channel.
Yachting enthusiasts came to realise that this is the last spit of land before the ocean opens up and stretches uninterrupted for thousands of miles, all the way to Africa.
It’s for this reason that owners the Hokin family gave the Bitter End resort that curious, tongue-in-cheek name when they opened it back in 1975.
The central hive of activity is the watersports pavilion, where we try to seamlessly blend in with our seafaring fellow guests by taking a two-man Hobie Catamaran vessel out on to the bay.
As the wind makes our sail bulge, my one and only objective is to avoid head-on collisions with multi-million pound yachts for which I can ill afford to foot the repair bill.
Having somehow survived our Sailing 101 lesson, we head to the outstanding open-air Clubhouse Grille for dinner, devouring a hearty repast of wahoo ceviche (raw fish), coffee-rubbed rib-eye steak and the Bitter End’s signature key lime pie pudding.
Bitter end resort on the beach
Exhausted, I retire to my timber treehouse cottage. The room is comfortable and ever so slightly ‘shabby chic’ – perfectly in keeping with the resort’s rustic surroundings and unpretentious vibe.
I could happily stay here all week, but we must bid a reluctant farewell and continue our tour of the region.
The British Virgin Islands are part of a volcanic archipelago consisting of around 60 islands, cays, rocks and islets.
We catch two ferries to take us to Anegada, the BVI’s only coral atoll.
Almost entirely flat and sparsely populated, it is ringed by a halo of white sand beaches.
It’s here that we indulge in an unlikely spot of “glamping” at the brand new Anegada Beach Club, a unique resort that comprises of seven luxury tents.
Perched on a sand dune directly overlooking the beach, my canvas home is equipped with a king canopy bed, while an outdoor wooden deck is furnished with a hammock big enough for two people to cuddle up in.
There’s also an adjoining self-contained bathroom with toilet and hot shower for my personal use only.
The local wildlife
After unpacking, I walk for miles down the beach at sunset, barely encountering a single living soul on the way, save for one rather bemused cow.
On the horizon, a silent storm rages, lightning illuminating the brooding clouds like Mother Nature’s own early warning system.
Thankfully, the squall overshoots Anegada and we head out to dinner to The Lobster Trap, a cute waterfront restaurant with tables on a wide jetty.
We gorge on a banquet of fresh seafood, including huge local lobster, red snapper and conch fritters.
In honesty, there’s not much to see or do on Anegada other than totally chill out – but with a beach this gorgeous directly outside our tent, we’re ecstatically happy to do exactly that.
For the final call on our whistle-stop tour of the BVI, we make two more short ferry trips to the Guana Island resort and wildlife sanctuary.
In complete contrast to Anegada, it is lush, verdant and hilly – 850 acres of jaw-dropping natural beauty.
Neil Batey relaxes
There are seven pristine beaches on the privately owned island, miles of forests, hidden caves, valleys, sheer cliff faces and even a salt pond which is home to neon pink roseate spoonbills.
With only a few properties – generally around 35 people are here at any one time – there’s ample privacy should you want to really get away from it all.
Dotted around the resort are elegant, sophisticated cottages and villas, some with private pools and Jacuzzis.
My cottage, grandly titled Fallen Jerusalem, features stone architecture inspired by the Quakers who once populated the island and a private terrace with fine views of Guana’s topography.
All the usual Caribbean indulgences are pandered to –beach barbecues, outdoor yoga, spa treatments, sunset cruises etc – but, for me, the real highlights are the 20 hiking trails.
I tackled the Long Man’s Point route, an invigorating two-hour ramble that gradually ascends 335ft to a vertiginous volcanic outcrop which towers over waves crashing on to the rocks below.
The bay at Bitter end
On the way back, I spotted Puerto Rican Racer snakes and stout iguanas scurrying for cover among frangipani and Turk’s-cap cactus plants.
At the risk of sounding insufferably smug, Guana Island is as close to a picture-perfect getaway as I’m ever likely to experience.
I feel privileged to have been granted a glimpse of this oasis of dreamy tranquillity.
As I glance across the sea, I know Richard Branson’s Necker Island is out there somewhere. I’m shocked that I’m not feeling envious of the beardy tycoon.
He may own Necker – and an airline – but for this one glorious moment, does he really have it much better than me?

A group of sadistic thugs forced an autistic boy to strip after beating and robbing him at knifepoint.
Curtis McDonnell was on his first trip to Manchester without his parents when he was attacked by a trio of shameless thugs in a car park.
Curtis, 16, was with two pals and walking through the 10th floor of the Arndale Centre car park when the attack happened.
The teen, from Blackley, suffered a broken rib and head injuries which required a hospital scan after being kicked and punched.
After robbing him of his rucksack, mobile phone, and two pounds, the gang pulled off his trousers and shoes and threw them over a balcony.
Sean Hansford/MEN Curtis McDonnell was left crawling on his hands and knees
Curtis was left in agony crawling to an escalator to try and get help and was ignored by several people until a concerned couple stopped to help and alerted police.
Now Curtis’ mother, Karen Hill, has hit out at the gang’s inexplicable cruelty and says the teenager’s confidence has been shattered.
She told the Manchester Evening News : “I feel disgusted. They have not only robbed him, they have taken away his self confidence.
“It was the first time he had been to town on his own. We thought he was just out near home with two friends.
“But we think they caught the Metrolink - Curtis had never been on a tram before.
“It shows how vulnerable and innocent he is - they were in the car park having a game of tig.”
Getty The attack happened in the car park of the Arndale shopping centre in Manchester
The three thugs, who it is believed were caught on CCTV getting out of a lift at the car park, and later in the Arndale on an escalator, shouted to Curtis.
Karen, from Blackley, said: “He said ‘have you got a lighter mate’. Curtis would not have sensed any kind of danger and said ‘yes’ and walked over.
“They started rooting through his bag and then one said they were keeping his lighter.
“Then they shouted back they were only kidding, and Curtis went back. That is when the three of them surrounded Curtis and slapped him.
“Curtis lashed out at one of them and that’s when the bigger of three pulled out a knife and told him that if he hit back he would stab him.

“When Curtis’ two friends saw the knife they ran off. Curtis was pushed to the floor, punched, and kicked.”
The couple who found Curtis also alerted the car park manager who stayed with the boy until his father, David, arrived, and took him to North Manchester General Hospital.
Karen, 41, said: “He had a scan and we have to take him back to hospital if he feels sick or gets headaches. His lips were badly swollen and he is in pain with a broken rib.
“I don’t want those responsible to get away with it.
“Curtis has attended Our Lady’s High School in Blackley although he had one to one support. He is due to go to college in Openshaw, for entry into work courses, but now does not want to go after this.
"We had spent the last six weeks persuading him to go.
“I don’t think those who robbed him realise how much damage they have done.”
GMP confirmed they were investigating the robbery.

A TV chef and a health columnist argue it out over whether deep fat fryers should be banned
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

The battle lines have been drawn over the future of the fryer
It has become a sizzling war of words - the queen of The Great British Bake Off, Mary Berry , versus MasterChef giant Gregg Wallace .
Mary, right, believes wholeheartedly that the deep fat fryer should be banished from Britain's kitchens while Gregg says it should be a traditional part of our cooking lives.
So is deep frying food so unhealthy we should now try to avoid it at all costs?

Or does our increasingly broad palate mean we need our fryers like never before?
Check out our experts' views...
YES...says Daily Mirror's health columnist Dr Miriam Stoppard
Dr Miriam Stoppard believes deep fried food should be consigned to history
Back in the bad old days, I can remember our chip pan would sit on the stove where, periodically, my mother would fry up a meal of chips.
I never got used to the smell of frying and I used to leave the house when the chip pan was being used.
This dislike of that smell has lasted my whole life.
I'd rather run a mile than be in a place where food is being fried, particularly when it's being done in old oil.
Even worse, in those bad old days, the fat being used was lard. In other words, beef fat. It is pure saturated fat which we know is associated with heart disease, strokes and high blood pressure.
So I totally agree with Mary Berry - the age of the deep fat fryer should be long gone.
Getty Deep fryers make tasty food but are unhealthy
And there are plenty of health reasons for supporting this.
When something is deep fried the whole of its surface comes into contact with fat so the maximum amount is absorbed into the food.
Even if the fat is vegetable oil, it's still highly calorific.
It can convert a slice of potato into a calorie-laden mouthful.
Normally a potato has about the same calories as an apple - around 70 - but when it's sliced into chips and deep fried, that same potato can contain as many as 250 calories.
The other problem with deep fat frying is the food usually has to be finely sliced and this increases its surface area.
So if you must have chips, try chunky chips because less of the surface area of the potato is exposed to the fat.
The only frying I'm in favour of is stir frying. But if you really want to make chips you can parboil your potato then slice and finish it off in a wok with just a spray of fat. The potato will still get a crispy surface and taste good, but it's much healthier than deep frying.
As for Gregg Wallace saying that deep frying is part of the British way of life, well, I know fish and chips is a good old English meal, particularly in the north where I come from.
When I'm in Northumberland I'll always treat myself to fish and chips, but that only happens every once in a while. The problem with that kind of food is when you eat it often.
Also, just because it's a tradition, that isn't a reason to continue feasting on it.
In the same way, most of us no longer eat a full English breakfast every day.
NO ...says Simon Rimmer, chef and Channel 4's Sunday Brunch host
Simon Rimmer believes fried food should be allowed to stay
First things first - deep fat frying is unquestionably the most unhealthy way of cooking. But there are certain foods, like chips, which only work perfectly when they've been cooked in a deep fat fryer.
I remember as a kid, I'd often come home from school to find the chip pan bubbling away.
It might have been one of the old-school ones with a basket that you lowered into the lard, but when that chip pan was on the go it was always the happiest day of my life.
So I don't agree with Mary Berry when she says that "No home should have a deep fryer," because if you want to cook particular foods at home they're a necessity.
The fact is, lots of people still love chips - I serve them in my restaurants so they all have fryers. But it's not just about maintaining the tradition of "British food" either.
When I was growing up the idea of having Thai cuisine was so unknown we might as well have been talking about Martian food.
But these days so many households have moved towards eating internationally.
Now lots of us enjoy all sorts of dishes from other countries which have to be cooked in a certain way, from spring rolls to that Deep South-style, deep fried chicken.
If something needs to be cooked at a certain heat for a specific length of time you can be sure a modern deep fat fryer will do that.
It's certainly a lot more efficient than shallow frying in a pan.
Plus, deep fat frying is less unhealthy than it used to be. Now we use different oils and we know that if you make chips, for example, just shaking them for two minutes after they've been cooked can reduce the amount of oil which remains on them by about 20%.
Should EVERY home have a deep fat fryer? Not necessarily.
If you eat lots of salads, vegetables and lean meat then you're not going to need one.
But if you love to make Thai or Chinese dishes, for example, then you are certainly going to want to have one.
Of course, nothing which is deep fried can be described as actively healthy, whatever food you cook.
If you're constantly using deep frying then that's not a good place to be, but if you want to get your mates around every now again for burger and chips, then it's ideal.
It's all about that golden rule: everything in moderation.
"Because it's a British tradition is no reason to keep feasting on something "There are so many dishes from other countries which need to go in a deep fryer

The time-honoured tradition of initiating players at football clubs by making them sing lives on at Liverpool .
The new signings are made to get up and sing in front of their team-mates, with some faring better than others.
The Liverpool Echo reports Danny Ings' Snapchat account has captured this raucous gathering when summer signings Joel Matip , Georginio Wijnaldum and Marko Grujic all introduce themselves to their new squad mates.
Matip contents himself with a simple “Hi, I'm Joel Matip !” but Gini Wijnaldum's rendition of the Bob Marley classic Three Little Birds – a song adopted by the Kop on several occasions last season – is latter-stages-of-the-X-Factor-worthy.

He receives rousing applause as his team-mates join in.
Liverpool look like a top 4 team to James Milner after Tottenham draw they deserved more from
As for Marko Grujic , though... well let's just say his football is far better than his singing.
Danny Ings' expression as the Serbian midfielder delivers his intense performance speaks volumes.

Kevin Magnussen fortunate to walk away after horror smash at Belgian Grand Prix

Kevin Magnussen was fortunate to walk away from a high-speed crash, after losing control coming out of Eau Rouge, one of F1's most iconic corners.
The 23-year-old, at the time in eighth place, slammed into the tyre barrier and suffered significant damage to the rear of his car.
Somehow Magnussen walked away from the incident - albeit with a limp - and was taken initially to the on-track medical centre for further examinations, before later heading to hospital.
The safety car was initially deployed, but damage sustained to the tyre barrier meant the race was suspended to allow for further repairs.
"Big crash for Kevin but he is out of his car, and he is ok," Magnusen's Renault team tweeted.

"He left the car unaided and was taken to the medical centre for precautionary checks. He is fully conscious and responsive," said a Renault statement.
"He has a small cut to the left ankle and has been escorted to a nearby hospital for further routine checks."
Magnussen's accident capped an incredible start to the Belgian Grand Prix - Formula One's first race in nearly one month following its traditional summer break - with Max Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen all involved in a first-corner incident.
A slow-starting Verstappen was gobbled up by the Ferrari duo of Vettel and Raikkonen before Vettel turned into his teammate with Raikkonen then bumping into Verstappen. Vettel spun, while both Raikkonen and Verstappen limped back to the pits with a left-rear puncture and front wing damage respectively.

Jenson Button, whose future beyond this season hangs in the balance, was also a first-lap casualty after Pascal Wehrlein drove into the back of his McLaren.
Both drivers were out of the race, and they were soon joined by Carlos Sainz who suffered a right-rear tyre blow-out before coming to a stop with his car in pieces.
Nico Rosberg would eventually claim victory - his first in Belgium, with Daniel Ricciardo second and Lewis Hamilton third - having begun the race down in 21st position.

Jodi Huggett suffered side-effects after having four rounds of chemo
A hospital has admitted wrongly giving a mum four rounds of chemotherapy which could have killed her.
Jodi Huggett, 41, suffered side-effects and twice went into anaphylactic shock. As a fifth chemo cycle loomed she felt so weak she researched her illness online.
She contacted experts at London’s Royal Free Hospital who told her chemo would not work on tumours of her kind.
Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust has now agreed to pay damages to Jodi, a renewables company director.
She said: “I was on my knees. I felt so poorly that I decided to look into my treatment myself.

“The Royal Free told me chemo has never been proven to work on a tumour like the one I had and never will be. It was heartbreaking.”
Jodi was advised to have chemo after a rare bowel tumour was removed at Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham, East Yorks.
Medical negligence specialist Hayley Collinson, from Hudgell Solicitors, has represented Jodi.
She said: “Mrs Huggett was put through extra pain and suffering. This is completely inexcusable and was completely avoidable.”

'It's not like toddlers and tiaras' Mum of 12-year-old who beat hundreds to become pageant winner defends contests

Halle-Blu Morrison, 12, as she is crowned the winner of the Junior Miss Galaxy International in Florida
A mum has said beauty pageants aren't "like Toddlers an Tiaras " after her 12-year-old daughter beat hundreds of hopefuls to win a prestigious parade title in America.
Halle-Blu Morrison, from Lightcliffe, West Yorkshire, became the first ever UK contestant to be crowned Junior Miss Galaxy International in Orlando, Florida back in February.
Her mum Robyn - who has competed in a number of pageants herself - initially warned her daughter she was too young to take part.
But she was encouraged by how keen her daughter was - and said the girls would not have to take part in a swimsuit parade - and were expected to sport a natural look.
Robyn told The Huddersfield Daily Examiner : "They wear big ballgowns, and their look has to be very natural in the younger divisions.
"They would be disqualified if they had anything fake such as hair, tans. nails or teeth.
"They can just wear a little make-up.”
Halle-Blu travelled to Orlando, Florida, to compete in the prestigious competition alongside her mother, who entered the Mrs Galaxy competition.

Her family tied in the trip with a holiday and used it as an excuse to go to Disney World.
Halle-Blu’s proud mum, Robyn, said: “The pageant Galaxy is the largest of its kind and it is an incredible achievement for a 12-year-old girl to win from the UK.
"The age range for her division was 12 to 14, and usually the older girls win.”
Halle-Blu won the UK National final in Chorley, Lancashire, in February and that qualified her to represent the UK in Florida.
She had wanted to take part after her mum won Mrs Galaxy UK.
Robyn said: “I said no at first because I didn’t want her to grow up thinking just about how she looked, and I wanted her to concentrate on her school work and sporting activities.”

But she said Halle-Blu was very keen, and there was so much more to the pageants than just appearance.
“It is not at all like it is presented on the reality television programme Toddlers and Tiaras,” she said.
“Halle-Blu has raised thousands of pounds for her charities, and is currently supporting Home Farm Trust (HFT) for children with learning difficulties and The Christie cancer charity.
“The girls are judged on looks and personality, and there is an interview about what they do at school and their charity work.
Talented Halle-Blu, who is also an elite gymnast and National Champion cheerleader, will attend numerous national and international events over the next year as part of her Miss Galaxy reign.

“She will go to various events at weekends and during the school holidays, and then she will travel back to America next year to hand over her crown and do some official engagements in the USA before then,” said Robyn.
Halle-Blu is a pupil at Hipperholme Grammar School, which awarded her a sports scholarship, and she hopes to one day compete for England in the Olympics.
Robyn said her daughter’s school was very supportive and really proud of her.
“They get her up on stage at assembly to show what she has won, and now some of her friends want to take part in the pageants too because they know it is not how it is presented on TV. Everyone is really positive about what she does,” she said.
Robyn, who runs Panache Cheerschool which has branches in Brighouse and Dewsbury, said: “Halle-Blu has been cheerleading since she was about two, and doing gymnastics since about four or five.
"The two go hand-in-hand and she has done so well in both of them.”
Halle-Blu’s dad, Glenn Morrison, is a former rugby player for Bradford Bulls and Wakefield Wildcats, and is now head coach for Dewsbury Rams.

Faces of murderers could be recreated from DNA left at crime scenes after science breakthrough

New findings may also help researchers to learn how facial birth defects arise
The faces of murderers or rapists could be 'recreated' from DNA left at the scene of the crime, according to new research.
Scientists have identified the genes that shape the extraordinary variation in the human face.
Many features, such as nose size and face width, stem from specific mutations, say researchers.
Previous studies have suggested they are controlled by genes , but this is the first to shed light on how variants contribute to the range of different forms we see.
The findings published in PLOS Genetics may also help researchers to learn how facial birth defects arise.
And they could even have applications in forensics, helping police construct more accurate faces of dangerous criminals being hunted for murders, rapes and robberies.
The discovery of the genes that determine human facial shape could provide valuable information about a person's appearance using just DNA left behind at the scene of a crime.
They are based on a DNA analysis of 20 facial characteristics measured from 3D images of 3,118 healthy volunteers of European ancestry and almost a million mutations, or SNPs (single base pair) variations.
Getty
Dr John Shaffer, of the University of Pittsburgh , said: "There is a great deal of evidence genes influence facial appearance.
"This is perhaps most apparent when we look at our own families, since we are more likely to share facial features in common with our close relatives than with unrelated individuals.
"Nevertheless, little is known about how variation in specific regions of the genome relates to the kinds of distinguishing facial characteristics that give us our unique identities, e.g., the size and shape of our nose or how far apart our eyes are spaced.
"In this paper, we investigate this question by examining the association between genetic variants across the whole genome and a set of measurements designed to capture key aspects of facial form.
"We found evidence of genetic associations involving measures of eye, nose, and facial breadth.
"In several cases, implicated regions contained genes known to play roles in embryonic face formation or in syndromes in which the face is affected.
"Our ability to connect specific genetic variants to ubiquitous facial traits can inform our understanding of normal and abnormal craniofacial development, provide potential predictive models of evolutionary changes in human facial features, and improve our ability to create forensic facial reconstructions from DNA."
Facial width, the distance between the eyes, the size of the nose and the distance between the lips and eyes all had statistically significant associations with certain SNPs.
The researchers also considered results from two similar studies and confirmed certain previous findings.
Until recently, virtually nothing was known about the genes responsible for facial shape in humans.
Getty
Added co author Dr Seth Weinberg: "Our analysis identified several genetic associations with facial features not previously described in earlier genome wide studies.
"What is exciting is many of these associations involve chromosomal regions harbouring genes with known craniofacial function.
"Such findings can provide insights into the role genes play in the formation of the face and improve our understanding of the causal factors leading to certain craniofacial birth defects."
Several of the genetic regions contributing to face shape detected contain genes known to play a role in facial development and abnormalities.
In the future, the scientists hope to identify genetic risk factors that lead to anomalies such as cleft lip and palate.
But they warned it is important to keep in mind these findings likely represent only a small fraction of the genes influencing the size and shape of the human face.
Many of the genes influencing facial features are likely to have small effects, so successfully mapping a large number of these genes will require much greater sample sizes and a more comprehensive approach to quantifying those of interest.

10 gorgeous bare-faced celebs after Alicia Keys went make-up free at the MTV VMAs
| null | null |

Red carpet events like the MTV VMAs are usually when stars get to show off their style, so when Alicia Keys stood up on stage on Sunday night - wearing nothing but a smile - social media went a little cray.
We're used to seeing baby-faced models strutting through an airport with giant sunglasses and fresh skin, but at such a huge industry event, ditching the make-up is almost unheard of.
We're giving Alicia a round of applause for letting her talent shine over her contour, because seriously, it couldn't have been easy. We hope more celebs follow suit, but for now, here are 10 more women that have been proving on their Instagram pages that make-up definitely isn't a must...
Gigi Hadid
The 21-year-old model posted this gorgeous snap a few months ago. If anyone can pull off a blank base and zero mascara, it's Gigi. We'd go bare too if we had those brows!
Kylie Jenner
The youngest Jenner took a break from her make-up tutorials for this bare-faced snap. We're so used to seeing Kylie coated in matte lipstick and dewy foundation, but this shot showed her freckles and her natural side.
Bella Thorne
18-year-old Bella shared her acne woes with her Instagram followers yesterday. The actress is known for her fresh-faced selfies, but just yesterday Bella posted this post-facial shot and admitted to suffering with acne flare-ups. Thumbs up for baring it to her 13 MILLION fans!
Demi Lovato
We'd never have guessed Demi was hiding all those freckles! The singer/actress is known for her bold lips and smokey-eyes on stage, but in real life she ditches all of that. This picture of her freckles is stunning.
Jaime King
This no filter selfie shows Jamie's a natural beauty. You'd never guess it but Jaime is 37! With a complexion like this, it's no wonder she goes for the minimal make-up look.
Ashley Benson
Ashley's holiday glow is giving us serious envy. The Pretty Little Liars actress is all glam on set, but she gave her skin a break and posted this clear-skin snap at the start of summer.
Rihanna
The singer is definitely working the no make-up look. RihRih proving that glowing skin never goes out of style.
Beyonce
With cheekbones like Beyonce , who needs to contour?! They don't call her Queen B for nothing! Beyonce often shares snaps of her looking fresh-faced and gorgeous in various exotic locations. Jealous? Us? Never.
Sofia Vergara
Sofia doesn't need an eyebrow pencil with those amazing brows. Sunkissed hair and natural skin. The two best holiday accessories.
Ellie Goulding
The hit-maker showed off her natural beauty with fellow singer, Tove Lo. Can we please just be her?

Southampton Some pre-match cheer for Saints 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. Southampton remained in talks to finalise Boufal’s terms last night though that is expected to be a formality.
Chelsea Conte's Dyche riposte Antonio Conte has dismissed Sean Dyche’s claims foreign managers get preferential treatment over English ones. Burnley boss Dyche suggested foreign coaches get talked up as “tactical geniuses” while home bosses are branded “dinosaurs” even when they are employing the same managerial methods. He cited new Chelsea boss Conte in his assessment, which adds a sub-plot to today’s clash between the two at Stamford Bridge. But Conte, a three-time Serie A winner and Euro 2016 quarter-finalist as Italy boss, argued the facts always speak for themselves. “There are dinosaurs and geniuses in all departments all over the world – in Italy, England, Argentina, Spain, all over the world,” he said. “You have to understand who is the dinosaur and who is the genius. That’s what you have to judge. You have to recognise who is the better and the worst and not only with words, but with the facts.” Getty / PA
Big Sean Dyche tweet Burnley have arrived at the Bridge First up, to Stamford Bridge, where Sean Dyche and his Burnley players have arrived. A big win for the Clarets last week, turning over Liverpool 2-0 at Turf Moor. This is there first away game of the season - Can they get three points?

This is the bizarre moment a fan climbed 100ft and danced on top of a tower at Avicii's Tennent's Vital show.
In the clip, the man can be seen stood pointing at the crowd below from the top of the structure - which is used to hold speakers.
Police have since stated that they are 'shocked' at the footage, and that the man could have killed himself.
The person who filmed the video, which is circulating online, said that it happened around 30 minutes into the Swedish DJ's set.

Gary Duffy, 24, from Belfast who took the video said: "It was halfway down the field about half an hour into Avicii.
"Everybody turned around and was looking at it.

"I was traumatised I thought he was going to fall down."
SDLP Councillor Paul McCusker said: "I was shocked to see this video, this person could have killed themselves or certainly endangered the lives of others.
"Thousands of people come from all over the country to Tennent's Vital and enjoy the music from world-renowned artists.
"This behaviour is totally unacceptable and thankfully no one was killed or seriously hurt."

It followed a successful night on Thursday when American rockers the Red Hot Chili Peppers entertained a huge crowd.

Sherrie Hewson says she felt Mollie Sugden's GHOST as she rehearsed for Are You Being Served?

Actress Sherrie Hewson felt the ghost of Mollie Sugden as she filmed scenes for the remake of Are You Being Served?
The star has revealed she felt the legend's presence while running her lines on set earlier this year.
Sherrie, 65, plays Mrs Slocombe in the BBC special, an iconic character actress Mollie made her own.
So when it came to filming the show in front of a live audience of 250 people – an incredible 50,000 applied for tickets – Sherrie looked to her late friend for support from beyond the grave.
Was Mollie Sugden helping Sherrie Hewson?
“It sounds a bit silly but I just felt her presence there,” she told the Sunday People.
“The set is an absolute replica of where she last stood and when I stepped behind her counter wearing her costume a cool breeze seemed to cover me and I got goose bumps.
“That just isn't a sensation you feel in a TV studio under hot lights and especially wearing a wig so I like to think it was Mollie coming back to make sure we looked after her precious character.
“I thought: ‘If you are here Mollie, guide me, show me the way’. I kept looking up and going: ‘Is this right Mollie ?
"Am I walking right, is this voice right?’ and I imagined her replying: ‘You’re alright kid’.
“I was so proud, I wanted Mollie to think: ‘You’ve got it'. I'm playing the role in my own way because noone will ever do it quite like she did but I've tried to keep her essence in there.
BBC The new cast of Are You Being Served
“I hope she's proud of us as she looks down from the stars.”
Sherrie watched endless videos of the legendary 70s sitcom to get into character.
Her brightly coloured wig was made by same man who made Mollie’s and she wore a fatsuit to carry off Mrs Slocombe’s legendary curves.
“I’ve watched Are You Being Served? for as long as I can remember,” she says. “And I began to watch repeats online.
BBC Mollie Sugden as Mrs Slocombe in BBC TV sitcom Are You Being Served
“There’s one video on You Tube which is all of Mrs Slocombe’s pussy lines, it’s dedicated to her pussy.
"She was brilliant at it because it was done in such a naïve, truthful way that you knew she was talking about her cat Tiddles.
“She’s so defined as a character. I watched her mannerisms, the way she walked, she stood, all those wonderful expressions, over and over.”
“The pressure was immense, particularly playing Mrs Slocombe,” adds Sherrie.
“But once I put the wig on that was it. A lot of actors say it’s always the shoes that do it but with me it was the wig.

“Then when I came on set, there was an intake of breath and everyone started to applaud, they just couldn’t believe what I looked like.”
The remake’s cast includes actors Sherrie has worked with before.
Her former Coronation Street co-star Roy Barraclough takes on Mr Grainger and her onscreen beau in ITV1’s Benidorm is played by John Challis, Captain Peacock in tonight’s remake.
Mr Humphries and his cries of “I’m free!” was famously personified by John Inman, a late pal of Sherrie’s. Jason Watkins takes on the role.
“John would have loved the remake,” she says. “He’d have gone: ‘Go girl’. He adored the show, it made him an international star.”

The actress admits to having felt nervous when she stepped on set, particularly because family members of the show’s original writers, David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd, were in the audience.
“When I was offered the part I was so excited I forgot to be scared,” says Sherrie. “Rehearsals went brilliant but when I got onto the studio floor for filming, I was terrified.
“When you’re going to be compared to Mollie Sugden, you have nowhere to hide. But I pulled myself together, I went out there and owned it.
“The audience loved it immediately, there wasn’t a hiccup which is very rare on a live studio floor. It was one of the most amazing nights I’ve had in my career and I will never forget it.”

“Niki Wardley, who is wonderful as Miss Brahms, showed me there was a pair of Wendy Richard’s (the original actress) gloves in one of the drawers,” adds Sherrie.
“That was really quite spooky but as soon as I knew they were there I thought: ‘We’re being looked after by the original ladieswear team’.”
And the star said that even ahead of the programme being shown on our television screens, the interest has been “phenomenal”.
“We are astounded at the response already,” she says. “It’s such a beloved show, the characters are so iconic and it was loved by millions of people.

“Americans, Canadians, Australians have been sending messages online asking if they can see it as they have such fantastic memories of the show. It was so big overseas and they loved John (Inman).”
Rumours have already started about the one-off special, which also stars Jorgie Porter and Mathew Horne, being made into a full series.
Sherrie, who recently quit Loose Women live on air and also stars in ITV1 hit show Benidorm, is keeping her fingers crossed.
“We’re all hoping and praying,” smiles the star, who watched the episode with fellow cast members at a special screening in London on Friday night. “Let’s see how tonight goes first.”
Watch Are You Being Served? on Sunday at 9pm on BBC1

Prison mental health nurse 'raped female inmate before going on holiday with wife' court told
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk
|
A female ex-prisoner broke down in tears yesterday as she told a court how she was allegedly raped behind bars by a mental health nurse.
Peter Barrowman is accused of raping three women and giving extra drugs to prisoners at HMP Corton Vale in Stirling.
He denies all the charges against him, the Daily Record reported .
The 28-year-old witness told prosecutor Rosemary Guinnane that one day in March 2014 she was summoned to the psychiatrist's room in the health centre the prison by Barrowman.
Inside the room, she told the court, Barrowman kissed her and then had sex with her. The woman cried as she said: "I kept telling him no."
She was asked how the incident ended and replied: "He had to go and pick up his wife. He was all smug about going to pick up his wife and said they were going on holiday."
Giving evidence at the High Court in Glasgow, the former prisoner added: "I had kept saying no to having sex with him. He wouldn't take no for an answer."
The woman said she was too numb to scream or hit out at Barrowman and added: "I just wanted back to my block.
"He told us 'who's going to believe you over a mental health nurse'. I kept telling him I didn't want sex and he wouldn't take no for an answer.
"Afterwards I was numb. I went back to my room and gret into my pillow. I was at the weakest point of my life.
"I ended up in prison, but I didn't deserve what I got from him."
Google The alleged attacks took place at HMP Cornton Vale
Under cross-examination by solicitor advocate Liam Ewing the woman admitted she had not told the prison authorities or the police about this until January 2015.
She said: "It wasn't until I got my life together and got off drugs and realised I'm not just a number. I'm a human being and shouldn't have been treated like this and I contacted the police."
The woman told the court that on occasions Barrowman, 35, from Stenhousemuir, would give her extra tablets in addition to those prescribed for her.
Mr Ewing accused her of lying about that and about being raped by Barrowman and she said: "I would never make something like this up, never."
Earlier a 30-year-old prisoner told the court of a conversation she had with Barrowman in Cornton Vale in 2014 when he told her he wanted a threesome with her and another prisoner.
The woman said: "He said he wanted to have a threesome with me and her. He said he would snort cocaine off her bum. He said she had some body on her."
The 30-year-old told the court that she was given extra medication by Barrowman and added: "He just handed them out of his pocket.
She said that one Gabapentin tablet was worth £5 in the prison and could be used as currency.
The woman also said that during a therapy session in 2009 and 2010 Barrowman had hugged her.
The trial before Judge Sean Murphy continues.

Female tourists visiting India told 'don't wear skirts' by tourism minister
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

The reaction to Mr Sharma's comments has been one of shock and anger
The Indian Tourism minister has come under fire after he suggested that female tourists in his country should not wear skirts - for their own protection.
Mahesh Sharma made the remarks as part of a "list of dos and don'ts" which he says are set to be given to visitors to his nation.
He also advised visiting females not to venture out alone at night in small towns.
After he was criticised for his comments which some believe blamed rape victims for their clothing rather than rapists for their attacks, he stated that he was speaking from a position of "concern" and that he meant the comments "in the context of religious places", reports the BBC .
In 2015, more than 8.02 million foreign tourists arrived in India annually according to figures from the Press Information Bureau .
Getty In 2015 there were more than eight million foreign tourists in India
Last year Mr Sharma shot into the spotlight when he announced that "nights out for girls was not part of Indian culture", and he has previously blamed the country's ills, which include sexual assaults against woman.
He was speaking on Sunday about a "welcome kit" offered to tourists at the airport which contains a card with some advice.
He explained: "It has instructions like if they are in small cities, they should not roam around alone at night or wear skirts... They should take a picture of the car they are travelling in and send it to a friend as precaution."
Asked if he was suggesting a dress code for women, the minister said India was a "cultural country" and "we have a different dress code for temples. Kindly keep that in mind while dressing up".
The following day, he clarified his comments, reports Al Jazeera .
Getty Tourists in India are being 'advised' to be careful at religious sights, clarifies Mr Sharma
"I was speaking about religious places, like temples. I did not comment on what women should wear or not. I am the father of two daughters, I cannot put a ban on what women wear," Sharma said.
"Such a ban is unimaginable, but it is not a crime to be cautious," he added. "Different countries issue advisories from time to time, but I never said change anyone's way of dressing."
Social media exploded with outrage following the publication of his comments, which he has sought to distance himself from.

The country's concerning record on female safety in the face of sexual assaults has been an incendiary topic since 23-year-old medical student Jyoti Singh was gang-raped and thrown off a moving bus in New Delhi in December 2012.
She died in hospital in Singapore on December 28, two weeks after being attacked.
Her father, Badri Singh, later decided to reveal his tragic daughter’s identity – to give strength to other victims.

Brooklyn Beckham's latest Instagram snap will no doubt delight his thousands of teen followers.
The aspiring photographer, who is no stranger to showing off his bod on social media, decided to ditch his top in the black and white snap which sees him flexing his muscles as he hides his face behind his hair.
The topless 17-year also posted a short video of himself working up a sweat as he performed a set of gruelling push ups.
The end of the clip sees him flashing a cheeky smile to camera as he whips his hat off.

Manchester United legend George Best's Old Trafford security pass to go up for auction
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

George Best's Manchester United player pass, which he continually forgot to take to Old Trafford, is to go under the hammer.
The signed document was used to gain access to the stadium but the plucky Irishman is said to have charmed his way past the stewards to avoid getting in trouble.
An instruction booklet, which laid down the law for the sometimes unruly 1970s players, also comes with the purchase.
Chapter 14 of the rule book states that players must show their pass to the gate men at every home match, an order dealt by Frank O'Farrell, the manager in 1971/72.

Also included in the red leather-bound handout is a full fixture list for the first and second XIs.
At the end of the season, in which Best netted 27 times in 54 games, the winger gave the pass to his favourite steward, quipping, "You obviously need this more than me".
the-saleroom.com Auction lot also includes red leather players' rulebook

A spokesman for auctioneers Mullocks, who are selling the pieces together, said: "Best was a charmer and always joked with security about forgetting his pass.
"He would search his car but return empty handed and would then be allowed into the ground.
"So at the end of the season Best gave the pass to the gate man as a bit of a joke and it has come down through his family.
"The pass is signed by Best and is an interesting document and highly collectible for all football fans."
Best had a prolific 11-year career with the 'Red Devils', scoring 181 in 474 games and winning two league titles.
His greatest achievement came in 1968 when United became the first English side to lift European Cup, just ten years after the club was decimated by the Munich air disaster.
Mirrorpix Manchester United European Cup winning team at Old Trafford 1968
Following his glory days in Manchester he globe-trotted around the United States, Australia and then back to his home country before retiring in 1984.
The larger than life character was one of the first 'celebrity' footballers and was often pictured boozing the night away.
He battled alcoholism his entire life and died in 2005 from a lung infection and multiple organ failures.
A statue commemorating his talent entitled the United Trinity stands outside Old Trafford, showing Best standing arm-in-arm with Dennis Law and Bobby Charlton.
Remembered as one of the best players of all time, he has posthumously been inducted in to the European Hall of Fame.
The pass and booklet will be sold by Mullock's in Ludlow, Shrops, on September 1 for up to £800.

Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright have been pictured together enjoying dinner on a romantic break - after they brushed off more reports their marriage is in trouble.
They were spotted having a meal at Ritzi restaurant in the swanky yachting harbour of Puerto Portals, Mallorca on Friday evening - a week after Mark's mates jumped Danny Dyer at V Festival, leaving him with a black eye.
Mirror Celeb's exclusive pictures show the couple, who have been married for just over a year, having a chat during their cosy evening.
Michelle has been filming TV drama Tina and Bobby in Spain, while Mark flew out earlier for work before they began their short break in the sun.

Snaps show Mark in a t-shirt talking to Michelle, who had her blonde hair up in a bun while wearing a patterned dress flashing her incredible diamond ring as she rests her hand against her face and listens intently to her husband.
TV stylist and blogger Maddie Costigan, a fellow diner who spotted them last night, insists they seemed relaxed during their meal and were happy to take snaps and chat to fans about their careers.
She told us: "Michelle had her wedding ring on and they looked really happy having dinner and chatting the whole time over a couple of glasses of wine.
"She was lovely when I asked for a selfie and said they didn't mind as long as people were friendly and polite.

"A guy also went over to Mark and told him he was a great DJ and he seemed really thrilled."
Maddie, who runs the blog maddieness.co.uk , also shared her selfie with the pair on Twitter, captioned: "Lovely people, having quiet meal minding their own business. Thank you...enjoy your break x"
Mark made reference to flying out to Spain on Instagram, writing: "Goodbye for now Manchester !! Until next time !!"
A source close to the couple said: "They are now on a break together for a few more days until Michelle has to come back and do promo for her drama Our Girl.
FameFlynet Danny Dyer's daughter Dani witnessed the fight
"But she will be back home in Essex and hopefully the rumours of their marriage being on the rocks will stop as they are seen out more."
Mark and Michelle, who were last pictured on July 17, denied a report today that they had a difficult first year after tying the knot.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, an anonymous friend said: "It's been a turbulent first year and they've been apart much more than they've been together.
Paul Cousans/Zenpix Michelle Keegan filming Tina and Bobby
"Things between them are pretty volatile. When you add it up they're just not sharing time, a bed, meals, days out, or chilling together the way couples need to."
But the couple hit back at the claims, with Mark's rep telling us: "This is a fabricated story from a mysterious unknown 'pal'. Yawn."
Michelle has been away shooting scenes for Tina and Bobby, in which she plays the wife of the late England football captain Sir Bobby Moore, while Mark has been in Essex and travelling for work.
Rex The couple hadn't been pictured in six weeks
The Our Girl star wrote in her Hello! Magazine blog that she was looking forward to wrapping on her BBC drama and spending more time with her hubby, also 29.
She told fans a few days ago: "It's my last week filming Tina and Bobby, it's been a very interesting and enjoyable filming project, and I have been working with a fantastic cast and crew.
"I am also looking forward to a bit of down time where I can catch up with myself, spend time with Mark and our families, have some lazy days walking the dogs, do some Autumn clothes shopping, visit friends, and do some comfort food cooking at home. Hurray!"

Former Aston Villa winger Charles N'Zogbia is available on a free transfer
Charles N'Zogbia is set for a return to the Premier League as new boys Burnley and Middlesbrough weigh-up interest.
The 30-year-old midfield player – who has been capped twice by France – is on a free transfer after he was released by Aston Villa at the end of last season.
He was training with Sunderland in pre-season ans manager Sam Allardyce was impressed and looked ready to offer him a deal.
But Allardyce was then appointed England manager – and new Sunderland boss David Moyes made it clear N'Zogbia did not figure in his plans.
But both Burnley and Middlesbrough have shown an interest in N'Zogbia as have Championship outfit Norwich .
Clive Mason Burnley, Middlesbrough and Norwich are all believed to be keen on N'Zogbia
N'Zogbia's advisor Chris Nathaniel said: “Charles feels he did not have enough opportunities to show what he can do after a difficult time at Villa.
“But his Premier League experience with Newcastle and Villa could be invaluable to the right team. He has proved what he can do.”

MasterChef's Gregg Wallace BLASTS Bake Off's Mary Berry over her 'ludicrous' deep-fat fryer comments
| null | null |

It's MasterChef vs Bake Off as judge Gregg Wallace has blasted Mary Berry.
The 51-year-old presenter said the telly legend's opposition to the deep-fat fryer is "an attack on our British way of life," branding her recent comments "ludicrous" after she spoke to Good Housekeeping Magazine.
Berry told the publication she does not think any home should contain the cooking appliance, and also spoke out against fizzy drinks for children.

In response, Wallace wrote in the Sun on Saturday that while "we probably did use the fryer a little bit too much" when he was young, fatty food is okay in moderation, adding: "Our nation was built on chips and spam fritters."
He said: "Just thinking about it takes me back to happy times when what we call dinner now was known as 'tea' and we ate it around five o'clock. Dinner was what you had at school at midday.
"The smell of deep-fat frying was universal back then, wasn't it? It brought families and friends together.
(Photo: Mirrorpix)
"To suggest getting rid of it isn't just an assault on the deep-fat fryer but on the traditional British psyche."
He insisted he loves Mary Berry 'dearly', but her comments were an attack on our British way of life.
Gregg added that it was like banning the wok in China, or outlawing the pizza oven in Italy, calling the whole thing "ludicrous".
Berry is back on screen with fellow judge Paul Hollywood in the new series of Bake Off as another group of flour-dusted hopefuls see whether they can stand the heat of the kitchen.
The 81-year-old star told Good Housekeeping about her desire to make children more healthy.
She said: "Many people think children must have chips. I don't think any household should have a deep-fat fryer.
"I never fry a doughnut. If you want a doughnut, go and buy one once in a blue moon. It's about everything in moderation."

Will Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart get back together? Couple are still great friends as dancer wants reconciliation
| null | null |
www.mirror.co.uk

Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart are reportedly back on friendly terms following their recent breakup after five yers together.
The 47-year-old singer and the 29-year-old dancer - who have been together since 2011, despite a brief separation in 2014 - called time on their romance, and while their relationship is now "amicable", it's still not clear if a reunion is on the cards.
According to TMZ, Casper is keen to rekindle their romance after their most recent fight, but J-Lo is said to be adamant this is the end for the couple.

A source previously told PEOPLE: "Jennifer and Casper have split. They have not been together for a few weeks. It wasn't anything dramatic and they were on good terms – it just came to a natural end.
"They will remain friends and they see each other, but they are not together. It was very amiable."
Sources close to Casper told TMZ that the break-up hasn't happened but others have told the gossip website the relationship is over.
In 2014, the pair were reported to have split but some sources claimed they were actually spending time at Jennifer's house when they were supposed to have separated.
WireImage Source close to Casper have denied it
The pair were seen at her Las Vegas show a few weeks ago.
Jennifer - who has eight-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony - first got together with Casper when he was a back-up dancer on her tour in 2011.
The star has previously admitted her divorce from Marc in 2014 was the "biggest disappointment" of her life.
FameFlynet The couple have reportedly ended their relationship
She said: "It was devastating and awful. I think both Marc and I thought at the time we would be together for the next 40 years until we die."
It was the biggest disappointment of my life so far. [But] I felt like at that time I had lost my way a little bit, of who I was in trying to make the marriage work.
"I had been married twice before and I didn't want this to be a failure ... I just put all my heart and soul into that and forgot who I was as an individual a little bit."

A brave mum drowned saving her toddler son by holding him above the water after a boat accident on a lake in Utah.
Chelsey Russell, a 35-year-old mother of two from Lakewood, Colorado, was enjoying a family holiday on a houseboat on Lake Powell, a 186-mile-long lake along the Utah-Arizona border, on Tuesday.
Suddenly she heard a scream and a splash and discovered her two-year-old son had fallen into the water.
Without a thought for her own safety, she plunged in and held him above the water for five minutes while her relatives desperately tried to reach them.
The boy and his heroic mother were plucked from the water, rushed to the shore and Russell was given CPR - but she could not be saved.
Officials with Glen Canyon National Recreation Area said the boy was stable but flown to a hospital in Flagstaff, Arizona, as a precaution.
Brave Chelsey Russell drowned saving her toddler
The mum-of-two plunged into the lake to save the boy
Officials with Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, which encompasses the 186-mile-long lake along the Utah-Arizona border, said the boy was in stable condition and flown to a hospital about 200 miles away in Flagstaff, Arizona, as a precaution.
The boy was playing with another child when he fell off the boat, San Juan County Sheriff Rick Eldredge said yesterday.
The boy's uncle jumped in after his sister but realised he was too far away from them, so he returned to the vessel to retrieve a towed motorboat, slicing the rope with a knife because the knots were so tight, reports CBS .

The knots tethering it were so tight that he had to cut them with a knife.
"She was holding the baby out of the water the best that she could," Eldredge said.
He added that neither Russell nor her son were wearing life jackets, which are required for passengers under 12, according to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
