2 ............... Wednesday, May 9, 2018 1GM PRES BLASTS 'ROTTEN' PACT T TRUMP TORPEDOES IRAN NUCLEARlTehran DEAL vows lUS to bring back sanctions By JAMES BEAL, US Editor DONALD Trump last night announced the US was pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal. Britain and other allies vowed to carry on with the landmark agreement. But the US President reinstated tough sanctions that were lifted three years ago. He blasted the deal's "decaying and rotten structure" in his biggest foreign policy move yet. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned he would restart enriching uranium "in the next weeks" if the deal collapsed totally. In a rare joint statement with the leaders of France and Germany, Theresa May said they still had a "continuing commitment". The statement said: "We call on the US to do everything possible to preserve the gains for nuclear nonproliferation. We encourage Iran to show restraint in response to the decision by Deal breaker . . Mr Trump yesterday the US. There must be no doubt — Iran's nuclear programme must always remain peaceful and civilian." The leaders also pledged to tackle fears on Iran's ballistic missile programme and its destabilising activities in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. The agreement was struck in 2015. In return for lifting most sanctions Iran agreed to restrictions on its nuclear programme so that it could not produce a bomb. But Mr Trump cited documents presented by Israel last week, which purported to show Iran was still pursuing nuclear weapons. He said: "At the heart of the Iran deal was a giant fiction — that a murderous regime desired only peaceful nuclear energy programme. SO BITTER OVER ALE A BREWERY has caused outrage by claiming its beer was full of female hormones that leave drinkers talking "crap" and unable to drive. Experts and social media users blasted 1648 Brewery Co in East Hoathly, East Sussex. Beer writer Melissa Cole called it "Bernard Manningesque humour". Jon Ford said: "Traditional brewery with prehistoric brews and sexist views." 1648 did not comment. A £100MILLION export deal with Dubai will be unveiled by Liam Fox today. Nearly half of the supplies and services for the development of the Dubai World Trade Centre are likely to come from the UK, the Trade Secretary, right, will announce. The deal was made possible with backing from the UK's export credit agency, UK Export Finance. Mr Fox will also praise our "reputation for high-quality manufacturing and highly skilled construction". Warning . . Rouhani CHILD obesity is fuelled by junk food adverts on Google, Facebook and YouTube, a health campaigner told MPs. Food high in fat, salt or sugar is not supposed to be targeted at kids under an advertising code. But Dan Parker, right, of the charity Living Loud told the Commons Health Committee: "This code does not include Google or other search engines. "It does not include YouTube, Facebook or Twitter. It's a shocking sham." SUJIKO ABERDEEN GLASGOW 11 10 We have definitive proof this Iranian promise was a lie. "After sanctions were lifted the dictatorship used its new funds to build nuclear capable missiles, support terrorism and cause havoc throughout the Middle East and beyond.

Heidi Alexander, 43, is to be a deputy to London Mayor Sadiq Khan. The party, which failed to make significant gains in local elections last week, now faces a vote in her Lewisham East seat. Ms Alexander quit as Shadow Health Secretary in 2016, slamming Mr Corbyn as "dysfunctional". Tory Party Chairman Brandon Lewis said last night: "This highlights a complete lack of faith in his leadership." Hunt OK to shelter HEALTH Secretary Jeremy Hunt yesterday backed plans to build sheltered accommodation on hospital sites. He described the idea by Labour MP Mike Gapes as "very wise" and in "exactly the direction of our thinking". Mr Hunt told ministers that there were currently 1.2 million older people struggling with "unmet social care needs". The Public Accounts Committee urged the Government to publish its long-term funding plans for social care.

A Labour working group invited representatives from a Jewish group to yesterday's session in London "to contribute to the discussion". But the Jewish Labour Movement said they were not allowed in.

Sharon and dog DUMP IN GARDEN By SIMON BOYLE, Bizarre Editor X FACTOR judge Sharon Osbourne has revealed she was forced to do a poo in her front garden — and blamed her dog when her gardener found the mess. Sharon, 65, said she had no choice as she was locked out of the house while her rock singer hubby Ozzy was working. She explained: "Ozzy was in rehearsals, and it was about two in the morning. "I get home and I don't have the key and there was nobody there. I had got a really, really bad tummy, and you need to do something. And I was really, really sick. "Anyway I had to go in the front garden. There were loads of trees and nobody could see a thing. However the next day the gardener came to me and said, 'One of the dogs is very sick'. "I said, 'Did you clear it up?' And he said, 'Oh yeah', and I said, 'Good'." Sharon, who lives in Beverly Hills, revealed the recent incident on her US chat show The Talk after a man was charged with lewdness for pooing in public. email@example.com By JACK LING VICKY Pattison shows off the results of her recent fitness drive as she dazzles in a rainbow-coloured two-piece by the sea.

She said: "The wild nights out have calmed down. I'm eating eggs and drinking protein shakes." PAUL PAY RAP TELLY and radio star Paul O'Grady took aim at BBC director-general Tony Hall in a rant about pay. He told Radio 2 listeners he was ready to quit as he was "forgotten" about and on "ropey" wages. The 62-year-old, estimated to have a £30million fortune and on a six-figure sum from the station, said: "I'm going to kick off, I'm going to go to commercial radio, I really am — adverts galore.

She told Cabinet Ministers that Ahead of knife-edge votes later today, the PM said the Government was confident of defeating calls for a new Confident . . . Theresa May amendments tabled by Labour MPs to the Data Protection Act could "undermine our free Press". Several Tory MPs have indicated they plan to back calls for a new statutory inquiry into the media. A second vote on proposals to impose court costs on publishers that refuse to join a state-recognised Press regulator — even if they win — is "too close to call", sources said. Culture Secretary Matt Hancock is trying to win over MPs by promising to review journalists' exemption from the Data Protection Bill in four years. Mrs May's official spokesman insisted she believed the idea of imposing court costs on victorious publishers went against "natural justice". And he said it would not be "proportionate" to restart the Leveson inquiry. Former Cabinet Minister Priti Patel last night urged MPs of all parties to put personal grudges aside and defend the free Press. The Sun Says — Page Ten MP Whittingdale's warning — Page Ten Liberty is 'casualty' NEWS chiefs yesterday said Labour's plan will cripple free speech. David Dinsmore, chairman of the News Media Association and chief operating officer at News UK, which publishes The Sun, said: "Press freedom is already at an all-time low in this country. "These further restrictions would irreversibly damage freedom of speech in this country." Gary Shipton, deputy editor-in-chief of Johnston Press, said: "MPs must stand up for freedom of speech by rejecting the amendments." Speaker job 'plea' SPEAKER John Bercow is "using the ashes of Grenfell" to save his job, an MP said yesterday. Tories are furious at Mr Bercow for defying calls to keep to a pledge to quit next month. Officials say he is not fit to be Speaker after two of his former secretaries accused him of bullying. Mr Bercow invited MPs yesterday to a memorial event in Parliament for Grenfell fire survivors and their families. Tory MP Andrew Bridgen called it a "cynical attempt . . . to use the ashes of the Grenfell tragedy to wipe away the bullying allegations". Mr Bercow denies bullying. Bigwig's loan 'no' THE architect of tough post-credit crunch rules on mortgage lending has been denied a home loan. Lynda Blackwell was behind the clampdown while at the Financial Conduct Authority. She revealed she was denied a mortgage after she became self employed. Ms Blackwell said: "The lender I had loyally stuck with for some 20-plus years did not hesitate: No. Not interested. "Was this a taste of my own medicine? Sort of." She criticised some providers' flexibility, adding: "The aim of the mortgage market review was not to avoid taking any risks whatsoever." CATE'S BACK IN BLACK ACTRESS Cate Blanchett gives a sneak peek at her latest flashback scene in a revealing black dress. Cate, 48, wore the black lace outfit as a gesture of support for the Time's Up movement at the Cannes Film Festival. Two-time Oscar winner Cate said she wants to see more female directors there, but accepts "it won't happen overnight". Lazy cop rapes fail A LAZY police forensic scientist derailed investigations into more than 20 rapes and sex attacks, it was revealed yesterday. The Met Police worker failed to do DNA tests and pass on forensic results in 33 cases, mostly serious sexual offences. Urgent checks are taking place to establish if the bungles led to jury verdicts being corrupted. Detectives from the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards are investigating whether his failures amount to criminal negligence and misconduct in public office. The force revealed the scandal following the scientist's March suspension. He has not been arrested. 2GM Wednesday, May 9, 2018 ............... EXCLUSIVE: LEGEND STUNS FAMILY 5 BOY OF THE ROVERS Cup final is out but how about Kiev? FERGIE JOKE ON RON GAME Darren with Sir Alex. Right, Doncaster Rovers play Wigan SIR Alex Ferguson stunned his family minutes after coming round from emergency brain surgery — by joking about flying to Kiev in two weeks' time for the Champions League final. Fergie, 76, reluctantly admitted his recovery will stop him attending his beloved Manchester United's FA Cup Wembley showdown with Chelsea on Saturday week. By GUY PATRICK But he told family at his hospital bedside: "Aye, the Cup Final is out — but what about Kiev?" A club source said: "Of course he'd love to be at Kiev on May 26 to see his former star player Cristiano Ronaldo in action for Real Madrid against Liverpool. "Ronaldo sees Sir Alex as a father figure. But Sir Alex needs plenty of rest and will have to follow his consultant's strict instructions to recover fully." The legendary United Shock . .

Be strong, manager, who had a brain haemorrhage, was rushed to hospital on Saturday morning just hours before son Darren's Doncaster Rovers were due to play their last match of the season. And his first words as he came out of an induced coma after surgery at Salford Royal Hospital, Greater Manchester, were: "So, how did Doncaster get on?" The League One side lost 1-0 at home to Wigan. A source said: "Typical Sir Alex — he can't stop talking football. He's very chipper and his prognosis is good. He's already re-arranging his diary." Fergie's wife Cathy and their sons Darren, Jason and Mark have been at his bedside. They are said PILL'S 'DEPP MYTH' TAKING the Pill does not put women off rugged men, say scientists. They found fluctuating hormone levels made no difference to their tastes. It contradicts previous research claiming oral contraceptives made women prefer more feminine-looking guys like Johnny Depp. Experts at the University RONALDO TRIBUTE of Glasgow analysed the preferences of 584 women. They were shown digitally altered versions of the same male faces. As expected, they generally rated the more macho ones as more attractive. The Pill contains synthetic versions of oestrogen and progesterone, which disrupt normal production of hormones.

Goodwill messages from the biggest names in football flooded in after it was revealed Sir Alex had needed an emergency operation. Ronaldo, whose raw talent was nurtured by Sir Alex during a sixyear spell at Old Trafford, said on Twitter: "My thoughts and prayers are with you my dear friend. Be strong, Boss!" He scored in Real Madrid's 2-2 draw with Barcelona in Sunday's "El Clasico" clash but did not celebrate his goal. Ronaldo explained in a postmatch interview: "How am I supposed to celebrate when the person who taught me to play football is suffering in the hospi- tal?" Sir Alex would have revelled in the chance to see Ronaldo and Real take on United's fierce rivals Liverpool in the Ukraine. He was at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff for last year's final when Real beat Juventus 4-1. Sir Alex watched Ronaldo score twice and later handed him the man of the match award. Brain haemorrhages can cause speech loss and paralysis. Sir Alex is likely to be asked to do a series of tests to determine his sense of balance before he is discharged by doctors. He will also be asked to do dexterity tests — such as putting pegs in and out of holes within a specified time limit. firstname.lastname@example.com GRIP'S HEALTH CLUE MEASURING grip strength could identify people who are at high risk of disease, according to researchers. Low power was strongly linked with a wide range of health problems such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. It predicted death risk even more strongly than blood pressure or level of physical activity, experts found. Higher grip strength was associated with a lower risk of all causes of mortality, revealed the Glasgow University study. Exercise lecturer Dr Stuart Gray said grip strength assessments could help in developing nations where other tests, such as for cholesterol, were impossible. 6 ...............

The pair posed for photographers yesterday after two days of talks in the Chinese port city of Dalian. The meeting, their second within weeks, came ahead of Kim's expected summit with US President Donald Trump. Kim said he had no need for nukes if a "relevant party" drops its "hostile policy and security threats". He added: "I hope to build mutual trust with the US through dialogue."

It is the most common cancer in men, with one in eight suffering from the condition during their lifetime. shaun.wooller@ the-sun.co.uk THE cost of booze could soon rise in England after health officials were ordered to look at imposing minimum prices. Health Minister Steve Brine has asked Public Health England to look at Scotland's example, where laws for a minimum unit price of 50p came into effect this month. Mr Brine told MPs yesterday: "The Government remains committed to tackling all alcohol-related harms." A SECRETIVE database held by cops on gang members is being probed by the data watchdog. Scotland Yard's Gangs Matrix holds information on some 3,800 people — of whom 1,500 have a "harm score" of zero. An Amnesty International report found it breaches human rights law. The charity found the number of black men on the Matrix is disproportionate. Figures from July 2016 showed 87 per cent were ethnic minorities. UK Director Kate Allen said: "The Gangs Matrix is the wrong tool for the wrong problem." INTERNET giants like Facebook and Google would have to pay the press when they use their articles under rules being championed by Brussels. Papers would also get powers to prevent websites using their content without prior consent. Eurocrats say the move would protect quality journalism and curtail the spread of fake news. The EU Parliament's legal committee is expected to back changes to the bloc's copyright laws next month. The European Alliance of News Agencies welcomed the move. Few see same GP MILLIONS of patients are finding it harder than ever to see the same GP they usually do, a study found. Just over a quarter now get their regular doctor. Data from more than 6,200 surgeries found the likelihood of seeing the same GP fell by 28 per cent in five years. Researchers at Leicester University blamed rising demand and a lack of full-time doctors. Patients wait around 13 days for an appointment, up from ten in 2015. The Department of Health said it will recruit an extra 5,000 doctors. Wednesday, May 9, 2018 ...............

Thomas admires snap of pair online Pictures: JEFF RAYNER / COLEMAN-RAYNER BROWSE THE BIG SPEECH COMING ALONG? Thomas, 73, viewed pictures of the pair and browsed news items about them during 20 minutes at an internet café in the town where he lives. He could have been seeking last-minute material for his wedding speech — a tradition for the father of the bride. A source said: "Thomas lives in a fairly remote spot and his internet regularly goes down. He can find himself cut off from the outside world. "He usually heads into town a few times each week when he loses connection — to check his emails and, since his daughter began dating Harry, look at the latest news. "All this research might well help with his father of the bride speech. "The locals all know him in there — they can't believe his connection to royalty. "He still speaks to Meghan on the phone and has had a few chats with Harry. But communication with England can be difficult. "The little internet cafés he uses have become a lifeline for him to keep up to date." As he sat in the Omega cafe in the Mexican resort of Rosarito, former Hollywood lighting director Thomas put on his glasses and scrolled through a gallery of pictures of Prince Harry, 33, and his TV star daughter. The Sun told on Saturday how Thomas had been fitted for his wedding suit at a local tailor in Rosarito.

Wednesday, May 9, 2018 'WITCH-HUNT' IN ULSTER BLASTED CABINET ministers clashed over a bid to continue a "witch-hunt" into ageing Northern Ireland veterans for at least five more years. Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley laid out the plan at a meeting of the PM's top table yesterday. A new investigation unit would be set up to deepen the police probe into all 302 killings by troops during 30 years of the Troubles. It would draw in vets as suspects or witnesses, despite many being in their 60s and 70s and already found innocent. At a tense No10 meeting, Defence Secretary Gavin Ambushed . . . Ms Bradley By TOM NEWTON DUNN, Political Editor Williamson demanded an amnesty and protections for the ex-troops instead. Boris Johnson, Liam Fox and David Davis joined in the assault. A Cabinet source said: "Gavin was adamant it would create a Northern Ireland version of the now discredited Iraq investigation. He had a lot of backing and Karen looked pretty taken aback. It was a classic Cabinet ambush." Only Housing Secretary and ex-Ulster boss James Brokenshire backed Ms Bradley, who had to shelve the plan for now. Veterans' groups called it a "shameful" new witch-hunt. 2GM Migration chief fury THE Home Office's top civil servant sparked outrage yesterday by saying he was not an "expert" on immigration. Sir Philip Rutnam, paid £175,000 a year, stunned MPs on the Home Affairs Select Committee as he sidestepped questions on the Windrush debacle.

He railed: "It's not taking back control of your trade policy, it's not taking back control of your laws and it's actually not taking back control of your money either."

Labour leader Mr Corbyn ordered his peers to abstain but 83 ignored him. Peers also amended the Bill to keep Britain tied to a host of Brussels agencies and voted to remove next year's March 29 exit date. The Duke of Wellington, descendant of the Waterloo hero, spearheaded the defeat to give ministers flexibility in talks, he said.

Em gaffe on policy EMILY Thornberry plunged Labour's Brexit policy into fresh chaos yesterday by saying the UK should stay in the EU Customs Union. The Shadow Foreign Secretary contradicted the party's official position and suggested the UK also wanted a Norway-style deal — keeping us in the European Economic Area. She told the BBC: "We don't want any of the nonsense that the Government is coming up with in relation to alternatives." Labour "clarified" her remarks, saying she meant the party would negotiate a new customs union. EU's £8m brainwash EUROCRATS have launched an £8million PR blitz to prop up the bloc's popularity among young people.

Wednesday, May 9, 2018 Sun THE 1GM DO YOU WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL WHAT'S IN YOUR PAPER? SAYS BREAKING NEWS . . . the new law would pose a threat to Press freedom Protect Press THE two most self-serving, cynical and downright shameful pieces of legislation of modern times come before MPs today. If our politicians genuinely respect democracy and the public interest they must defeat both. The amendment by Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson to the Data Protection Bill is a jaw-droppingly blatant and probably illegal attempt to shut down newspapers he dislikes. It would compel every paper to submit to controversial State-backed regulator Impress, funded by his own millionaire benefactor Max Mosley. Every paper, that is, except the Labour-supporting Guardian. Incredibly, it is exempt. The free Press would reject such control — so new rules would force us to fund any legal claims against us even if we WON. Investigative journalism would be axed overnight as too risky. Hundreds of papers could be bankrupted and thousands of journalists dumped on the dole. The winners would be crooked politicians, tycoons and celebrities — placed in effect beyond scrutiny — and the Labour Party, having silenced its critics. Ed Miliband's "Leveson 2" is just as bad: ANOTHER public inquiry, at vast cost, to rake yet again over the ashes of Press wrongdoing two decades ago. Even The Guardian opposes that. Maybe Miliband missed "Leveson 1" and all the (failed) trials of journalists. Maybe he hasn't noticed that the Press is fighting for life in a totally new media landscape dominated by Facebook and Google, that it has changed its practices entirely and has a new regulator, IPSO, far more potent than any before it. The truth, though, is that neither Miliband nor Watson really care much about improving Press practices or securing justice for victims of intrusion. They seek revenge for The Sun abandoning Labour in 2009 and then exposing Miliband's unsuitability to run Britain. They want a tame media "free" to churn out left-wing positions. If these amendments go ahead, the rest of the civilised world will regard Britain with horror. Dictators crush free speech . . . liberal democracies don't. The Government, to its credit, opposes both proposals. Our free Press is not perfect, nor can it be. But Britain is better for its newspapers, and these toxic plans will damage our country immensely. They must be voted out. Be brave, PM THERESA May now has a choice: To buckle to her backbench Remainers, botch leaving the customs union, fatally compromise Brexit, betray 17.4million voters, wreck her Government and party and reignite mass support for Ukip or worse. Or heed Boris Johnson and all those who see the simple logic that "leaving" means avoiding any restrictive customs deal and trading with the wider world completely free from Brussels' diktats. It will take guts to face down her europhile aides and rebel MPs. But that, PM, is leadership. MPs will today vote on a law that will pose a real threat to the freedom of our Press. The bill being debated is important, because it will give people more control over how their personal data is stored and used. However, new amendments put forward by certain MPs are an attempt to hijack the bill and to use it to force newspapers to sign up to a statesponsored system of Press regulation, as well as to hold another long and costly inquiry into events of up to a decade ago. I chaired the Parliamentary Select Committee that helped to uncover the phone hacking scandal. The behaviour of those involved was shocking and it rightly led to criminal prosecutions of those responsible. It also resulted in the setting up of Lord Leveson's inquiry, which sat for 15 months and cost more than £5million. Since that time, a lot has changed. A new body, the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), has been set up to replace the old Press Complaints Commission. It is fully independent and has powers to investigate complaints and to impose penalties on publications that break the rules, including front page corrections and fines. Most By JOHN WHITTINGDALE recently, it is introducing a new system of compulsory arbitration which the UK's 15 best-selling newspapers have agreed to join. This will give people low-cost access to justice without having to employ lawyers or go to court. This new system of Press regulation fulfils almost all of the requirements set down by Lord Leveson in his inquiry. In all important respects it meets the tests for recognition under the Government's Royal Charter. However, for reasons of principle, not a single national publication, nor the vast majority of the local press, has been willing to join a governmentapproved regulator. It is hard to see why some now wish to persist with an inquiry into the past when so much has changed. Today, it is not the printed press that exerts influence and makes money but social media and the internet giants. Nor is it clear why they should want to impose INQUIRY massive penalties on . . . Lord newspapers that do not Leveson sign up to an alternative regulator that has been approved by the state. Under their proposals, newspapers that choose to remain outside the Government's system of Press regulation will be liable to pay all the claimants' costs of legal actions brought against them on data protection grounds as well as their own, whether they win or lose. At a time when many newspapers are struggling, a lot would not survive. Some of those pressing the amendments have their own grudges against the Press. They have been unhappy about stories written about them in the past. I too bear the scars of having had tabloid press stories written about my private life. Some of these were inaccurate or purely salacious. That is the price of being in the public eye, although I also know the distress that such coverage can cause to others, particularly the families of those involved. However, the alternative of state controls on the Press is far more damaging and dangerous. The media play a vital role in a free society in exposing wrongdoing and holding governments to account. It is no accident that it is the world's most authoritarian states which impose strict controls on their media. Britain is seen across the world as a bastion of liberty and human rights. It is essential that we reject these amendments and not put that reputation at risk. lJohn Whittingdale is a Tory MP and the former Minister for Culture, Media and Sport. 1GM Wednesday, May 9, 2018 ............... 11 IT'S JUST SEA, MYSELF & I YESTERDAY Bully row . . . Moseley 26yrs' jail for teen son fit-up gun killer By ANDY JEHRING A DAD who pressured his teen son into taking the blame for a murder he had committed has been jailed for 26 years. Matthew Moseley, 50, shot another parent, 32year-old Lee Holt, in the chest in a bullying row. He then gave the shotgun to Thomas, 14, saying: "Tell them you've done it."

The 61-year-old, who is believed to have drugged and molested as many as 100 women, has met his lawyers to discuss a renewed bid for freedom. A source said: "He has been having strategy talks with his solicitors and on how best to deal with the psychiatric panel." Worboys Predator . . . Worboys Rapist cabbie plots fresh release hearing in weeks won parole last year only to have the decision overturned in March after a public outcry. He hopes a new Parole Board hearing will be scheduled as early as summer after fresh psychiatric reports are prepared. Worboys was said to be "keeping his fingers crossed he will get the all-clear". Last night one of his alleged victims said: "I always feared he would go before the board again but this feels far too soon.'' Worboys was jailed in 2009 for 19 attacks on 12 women. He got an indeterminate sentence with a minimum term of eight years. He was set for release in January but that was denied by the High Court and the head of the Parole Board was forced to resign. The court also imposed strict conditions on any new hearing — including the involvement of a judge and consulting with his victims. Worboys is being held at Wakefield Prison, West Yorkshire. The source added: "He's been working hard as a cleaner and has kept out of trouble. He's seen as a model prisoner." However, Worboys is unlikely to be allowed to return to London, the source added. Campaigning lawyer Rachel Krys said: "We just hope that the new Parole Board speak to the victims and also consider the pattern of offending police suspect him of." email@example.com 12 ...............

A BIG FAT EXCUSE A JAB that helps weight loss of more than a stone in a month has reportedly been developed by British researchers. Great. Just like gastric bands, it's yet another fast-track method that negates the obese from taking personal responsibility for how much they eat, drink and exercise. l Moore IT was the annual gathering of show-offs this week – aka the Catholicthemed Met Gala in New York. Rihanna came as the Pope on acid, Amal Clooney wore Bacofoil as her dress fluffers (now there's a bullshit job) fussed around her, and Madonna resembled Queen Victoria in mourning. It's saying something when Kim Kardashian was one of the most understated. And here's Sex And The City star and "fashion priestess" Sarah Jessica Parker pulling focus with a bling-tastic nativity scene perched on her bonce. Frock by Dolce and Gabbana. Eye make-up by a 13-year-old going to her first school disco. THE British-based anthropologist David Graeber reckons up to 40 per cent of people are uselessly employed in what he describes as "bullshit jobs". In other words, they work around eight hours a day to pay the bills but don't actually like what they do or even see the point of it. They're everywhere, infecting our daily lives with unnecessary, self-serving bureaucracy to keep themselves in employment. Santander bank's (bullshit klaxon) "executive complaints team" is a prime example. When customer Sarah Leigh was chatting to a call centre worker and learned they were from Bradford, she attempted to make polite conversation about the city. Referring to it as "Curryland" — which, considering it has been named Britain's curry capital six times in a row seems fair enough — she mentioned she'd read an article on how the waterways had turned yellow from the spices being emptied into them. A few days later she received a letter from the aforementioned "executive complaints team", asking her to "refrain from making remarks such as these", and that, if she did it again, it might be in everyone's best interests for her to "seek alternative banking arrangements". When Sarah, from Bristol, rang for clarification, she was told: "You didn't mean to cause offence but you clearly did cause it to our adviser." Sigh. Just because someone chooses to interpret a remark as offensive doesn't mean it actually is. And surely, if there is to be even one small smidgen of point to the grandlytitled "executive complaints team" it is to exercise common sense and make that distinction, not compound the ignorance with a pompous letter? But then that wouldn't generate a situation for their "bullshit job" to sort out, would it? And what about the two Yorkshirebased lifeboatmen sacked for "production of inappropriate material of a sexual nature", which, in English, meant they gave each other china mugs with images of semi-naked women on them? What's the betting that the "senior female member of staff" who complained 15 is merely justifying the existence of a "bullshit job?" Probably something with "safe-guarding" in the title. And so the already massive, often state-funded, industry of pointless employment flourishes apace. In his new study, entitled Bullshit Jobs: A Theory, Graeber has identified the five types. FLUNKIES — i.e. the uniformed man in the lift who pushes the button for you. GOONS — lobbyists, cold callers, PR specialists etc. DUCT-TAPERS — employed to fix problems that don't or shouldn't exist in the first place, just like the Santander lot. BOX-TICKERS — employed so a company can say it's doing something when it's actually not. And finally, TASKMASTERS — whose role consists entirely of assigning roles to others. In 1930, the economist John Maynard Keynes said that by 2000, technological advances would mean the average employee in the US and UK would work only 15 hours a week. did "Technological unemployment happen," says Graeber, a professor at the London School of Economics . . . "It's just that we made up jobs for people to seem to be working." Indeed, he had personal experience of this modern phenomenon when a shelf in his office collapsed. A carpenter arrived and "announced gravely that, as there were books all over the floor, safety rules prevented him from entering the room or taking further action" until they were neatly stacked. When he didn't return, Graeber made multiple calls to the "buildings and grounds' department" and spoke to someone "whose entire job it was to apologise for the fact that the carpenter hadn't come". He suggests other likely sectors are "HR consultants, communications coordinators, PR researchers, financial strategists, corporate lawyers" or those "who spend their time staffing committees that discuss the problem of unnecessary committees". A few brave souls might venture that newspaper columnists are among one of the above categories, but no. We're in the job of bullshit. A subtle but important difference, I'm, ahem, sure you'll agree. TIME TO GROW UP BRENDAN IT has been rumoured for some time that former Strictly pro Brendan Cole's marriage is in trouble because of his partying ways. So what does he do to quash the idle tittletattle? Er, gets photographed in the early hours with a woman in vertiginous stilettos and a micro-skirt who is draped around his neck. All while his exhausted wife Zoe, above with Brendan, was at home dealing with their toddler daughter and newborn son. Oh dear. Clearly, his brains are in his feet. "You would think they were together if you based it just on their body language," said one onlooker who, given that the majority of men only suspect something if they actually see a sex act taking place, must have been a woman. Were I Mrs Cole (God help him,) I could potentially be convinced over time (a decade should do it) that his hand was on singer Jenna Lee-James' bottom merely as a friendly, steadying gesture, so too the casual yet somehow intimate placing of her hand in his pocket. And given that she happily posed with him for a Bank Holiday selfie, wife Zoe clearly has no issue with the photos. But Brendan, love, in future it's perhaps best to simply grow up and cha cha change your partying ways, or you just might lose more than your job at Strictly. 16 ...............

Has Beennie And The Jets ELT TELLS ED TIME AT TOP WILL END IT feels like ED SHEERAN could release four minutes of himself gargling and it would still go to No1, as his never-ending reign at the top of the charts continues. Iggy pops down to pool But after dominating British music for the past few years, the pop superstar's long-time SIR mentor ELTON JOHN has stepped in to warn him his success won't last for ever. Comparing Ed's career to his own incredible 50 years in the business, Elton, right with Ed, said: "You have a heyday and you have a rest, and the heyday can never be replaced. "After that I had the common sense to know I'm not going to have a No1 every time straight away. I knew someone else would take over. It's cyclical. "Ed will go through that and I've talked to him about it. I've said, 'There'll come a time where this won't happen every time and you have to accept that'." And while Elton considers Ed to be a "dear friend", he admitted even he is tired of constantly hearing his protege's tracks. He said: "On the [American radio] chart, which is the middle-of-theroad chart, Ed is still No1 and Shape Of You is still in the chart. "It's like, 'Why?' How many times do you want to listen to these things?" Elton won't have contributed much to Ed's sales figures, as he confessed he doesn't know how to download music. Instead he revealed a typically over-the-top system for how he gets new releases — involving an army of staff and a fax machine. He told GEORGE EZRA on the young singer's podcast: "Getting a record was a treasure and I still feel that way about getting a CD. "You have to get the office to burn them. "I don't download anything. I've never downloaded anything and I wouldn't know how to. "I plan every week. At 9.45am I'll get a fax coming through from the office with the new releases. "I'll highlight them, I'll phone the office straight away and they'll get delivered the same day." Fans of Ed will be pleased to learn that more tickets are to be released for his sold-out UK summer tour. Organisers announced that some seats, deliberately held back to thwart touts, will be released On Friday at 10am. Despite his warning, no doubt Elton will be there to cheer Ed on — as long as it's possible to get his tickets by fax.

I challenged myself to save on my weekly food shop using your suggestions. And guess what? I saved £17 in a week. Here's how. 1. Cashback. I had never used cashback apps before but TopCashback, Quidco and CheckoutSmart are all popular. In my local Asda, I spotted some Rana fresh pasta on a 100 per cent cashback offer in-store, so I bought two packets and uploaded my receipt online. I was refunded the full £5 for two packets, in just a couple of days. It was easy. I will check out some of the cashback apps next. SAVED: £5 2. Asda Price Guarantee. If your Asda shop isn't ten per cent cheaper than the same shop at Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons or Waitrose, Asda will give you a voucher for the difference. Just check your receipt online and it will say if you have a voucher or not. If so, print out the voucher. I saved £9 in a week thanks to a bunch of different receipts. It's easy but frustrating you have to print out the vouchers. Surely you could show it on your phone? SAVED: £9 3. Down-branding. I have always been a sucker for brands but I decided that for everything branded I normally buy, I would down-brand — going down to the basics where available. I started with cleaning products, buying own-brand shower cleaner, toilet bleach, washing-up liquid and antibacterial spray. The lot cost me £2.28, rather than £5.03 for branded versions. And vitally, the products worked just as well. I will keep my eyes peeled for more savings. SAVED: £2.75 4. Shop seasonally.

Kim Spider's jump on demand By CHLOE KERR A SPIDER has been trained to jump on demand by scientists studying the secrets of its acrobatic ability. They want to see if the 2cm arachnid's leaping power could be used to design agile mini-robots. The regal jumping spider can vault six times its body length from a standing start. The team bought a number of females from a pet shop and managed to train one, which they called Kim, to leap different heights and distances on a lab platform. The jumps were filmed and a virtual model of her body created. Experts hope this will show them how she uses the spring-like mechanism in her legs. Study author Dr Mostafa Nabawy, of Manchester University, said: "If we can understand these biomechanics we can apply them to other areas of research." Moment of horror . . .

CCTV caught the moment it struck before horrified Michelle, 41, drove him to hospital. Harry, of Poole, Dorset, had severe concussion, black eyes and a swollen nose.

The 43-year-old refuses to accept she took any part Scheming . . Matthews 'kidnapped' Shannon Matthews whines she is not kidnap monster in the plot and claims she has been made a scapegoat. She said: "From the start I didn't know where she was. "Others were involved. I didn't have a clue. You can't kidnap your own child. I know the truth and I wasn't involved in it. I still have nightmares thinking that it's all going to happen again. "I'm not Britain's worst mum. I didn't kill anybody. Baby P's mum and Maxine Carr don't get the abuse that I do." Shannon, then nine, disappeared after being snatched from near her home in Dewsbury Moor, West Yorks, in 2008. Mum-of-seven Matthews made several public appeals for help finding her missing daughter. But Shannon was found inside a double bed at the home of Michael Donovan, a relative of Matthews' then-boyfriend. The pair were found guilty of faking the kidnap to pocket the £50,000 reward.

In one "unscripted" scene By PAUL REVOIR their characters John and Kayleigh are shown listening to a letter read on a radio show in which a woman says she has discovered her partner Gordon likes wearing women's clothes. It goes on to say he was beaten up by "a gang of lads" and "couldn't outrun them in his high heels". During the story, John makes a V-sign on his cheek and Kayleigh describes the woman's new partner, a nightclub doorman, as "a real man".

It is thought to have happened on "Caesarian Sunday" when students have a day-long drinking binge before exams. A witness said: "After the speeches, two vomited all over the pub toilets after sinking beers." A source said: "This behaviour isn't uncommon."

'HIT-LIST' RUSSIAN EXILE SURRENDERS Tycoon in fear for By NICK PARKER A RUSSIAN who claims he is on Vladimir Putin's "death list" surrendered to Moscow yesterday, fearing he was about to be killed. Businessman Sergey Kapchuk, 45, drafted in bodyguards after the murder of Putin enemy Nikolai Glushkov and the Salisbury poisoning of double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. He said he feared he would be next to die amid claims he had moved from No 12 to No 11 on a hit-list of runaway Russians. Last night he was reported to have "surrendered to Russia" in the Croatian capital Zagreb. He had been wanted by Russian authorities for more than a decade after fleeing to London before being jailed in his absence on fraud charges. But he was said to have returned last night after being promised he would be spared the Russian president's wrath. Kapchuk was said to be one of several "Londongrad exiles" tempted by an offer to drop charges if they came home. The tycoon appeared on TV in March, flanked by minders. He told a pro-Kremlin channel: "I'm not sure about my safety in London." THE cop probe into the Skripal poisoning is one of Britain's biggest yet, ministers heard yesterday. More than 400 officers are hunting those behind the March attack. 900 quid 'from kid' A GARDENER who paid 900 stolen £1 coins into a bank told a court they were from his daughter's money box.

"During the week we spent at Kerris and Phil's, it was lovely to go a bit wild and not have to think about how much we were spending. I did find myself totting it up in my head though – I couldn't help it, I'm so used to it. "I usually spend £100 a week on food, out of our £171 disposable income. But for a week, we could buy whatever we liked. We went into a deli in Beverley, East Yorkshire, and treated ourselves to cheeses we'd never tried, pastries and meringues. I couldn't believe the bill was £93. We had two takeaways, too, one Chinese and the other pizza, and Phil and I had a date night in a local restaurant. I d never tried French food before – it was lovely. "My kids have packed lunches and cycle to school because it costs £5 a day each for dinner and travel. That week they had school dinners every day. I also bought my daughter a bike for her 11th birthday and the other kids wanted trainers or clothes which I bought – in the end I lost track. It was lovely to be able to treat ourselves, but I am proud of the way I feed my family so well on our tight budget. It is possible with a bit of thought."

They have two children, Cooper, 8, and Oakley, 4. Kerris is expecting her third child in June. "I usually don't give a second thought to what I spend on food but we had to watch every penny when we were at Sarah and Richard's house. Sarah usually spends £100 for six people, so we decided it was a fair swap to allocate £45 out of the £171 income. Like Sarah, we shop at Aldi – the difference is, I go in for bread and come out with a sewing machine! "At home, I'll cook a chicken and the leftovers can go in the bin. I don't even think of making another meal from it. Our boys love sausage and mash – Phil and I had a bizarre conversation about whether to buy more cheaper sausages or fewer expensive sausages. We went for quality because I was worried about what might be in the cheaper ones. "I really missed my Pink Lady apples and just grabbing a cappuccino. "The other thing I found really tough was keeping an eye on the electricity meter. You'll be making a cup of tea and it's like being poked with a stick, reminding you of how much you're using.

TV Editor AS greasy mechanic Kevin Webster, he has had an affair with his best mate's girlfriend, been kicked out by his wife and found a dead body in his garage. But that is nothing compared to the real life of Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell. The cobbles veteran of 35 years has come through a child sex abuse scandal, battled alcoholism and been declared bankrupt after running up hefty legal bills. But he has still managed to cling on to his job . . . for now. And with a new boss taking the helm in June, the future of the star, seen yesterday contemplating his troubles with a fag and a pint, right, has never been in more doubt. Last week he was arrested on suspicion of assault after the police were called to the home he shares with fiancée Louise Gibbons in Timperley, south Manchester. Michael, 53, then failed to turn up for work, increasing his "unrivalled unpopularity" with production crew, who can not wait for bosses to get shot of him and rip up his £250,000a-year contract. A source close to the show said: "Everybody on set has been talking about Michael's future, and it's very clear some think he's on thin ice. "He has been in the bad books previously, but because he's been around for so long, it's often thought he is given more leeway than younger actors would be. "But when he didn't show up to work last week, a lot of people were furious. Some scenes had to be changed at huge expense in terms of both time and money. "Michael did ring bosses to make his excuses, but by that point stuff had already been sorted." 'He had better get his act together fast' Another source added: "Michael has been described as rude by crew and there's a feeling he thinks he owns the place and is untouchable after so many years on the show." The timing of his arrest, for which he will face no further action, could not have been worse. Show chief Kate Oates will be replaced next month by Emmerdale boss Iain MacLeod, a man feared in soapland for his unforgiving attitude to timewasters. Telly veteran Iain is a firm believer that "no star is bigger than the soap" and is not afraid to ditch actors or kill off their characters — so there is no chance of return. "Iain is known for not taking any s**t," according to one soap expert. "Kate, who also used to work on Emmerdale, tried to be mates with everyone. She's even on holiday with some of the Emmerdale cast at the moment "But Iain keeps a line between him and the cast. "Michael had better get his act together fast or he won't last five minutes under the new regime." There has been a wall of silence surrounding the incident which led to his arrest on Thursday of last week. The actor, whose real name is Michael Robert Turner, was taken to hospital after falling down the stairs before spending the night at a Manchester police station. He was treated after a 999 call from the fourbed semi he shares with Louise, 42. A police spokesman said: "Officers attended and arrested a 53- Thee year-old man. He was taken to hospital then taken into police custody for questioning. "The man has since been released with no further action." Michael's representative said they would not be commenting due to it being a "private matter". For his part, the actor told bosses it was a "silly row that got out of hand". But the incident has caused CorROLE . . . rie chiefs a huge headas Corrie ache, as mechanic they were Kevin quick to act after Bruno Langley, who 2GM Wednesday, May 9, 2018 ...............

MARRIED Sally twice – in 1986, above, and 2002 – but ended in divorce both times over the troubled couple's numerous affairs. TROUBLED . . . Michael gazes at his pint in Manchester yesterday. Inset, with Louise JAILED for 28 days in 2007 for battering schoolteacher John Stape, who was having a relationship with Kevin's daughter Rosie. e hell of Le Vell played Todd Grimshaw, got negative headlines last year. The 35-year-old pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault in November — but Corrie bosses had already terminated his contract, acting before he was even charged. Now they fear they will be accused of double standards. An ITV insider said: "The situation is a tricky one for show chiefs. "They acted very swiftly to give Bruno the boot after allegations about his behaviour "But with Michael they seem to be standing by him for now. "Michael was back on set this week despite all of the mystery surrounding the recent event. He was relieved that cops told him quickly there would be no further action, as if he'd been charged he would have to step away from the soap, in the short-term at the very least." It has been a tricky few years for Michael. He was cleared of 12 child sex offences, including rape and indecent assault, by a jury at Manchester Crown Court in 2013. Despite successfully beating the allegations, pals say the chapter has had a profound effect on the Manchester-born actor. At one stage, self-confessed alcoholic Michael, known as the man who starts a session with a swagger then ends it with a stagger, was rarely seen without his posse of pals at his local boozer. 'Michael loves a beer and a laugh' His fellow cast were impressed that no matter how many pints he knocked back the night before, he was never late on set the next day and hardly ever fluffed his lines. But Michael became suspicious that loyalty among his closest circle of mates was fading after a string of headlines made him question who he could rely on. He switched pubs and now tries to stick with those he can count on come rain or shine. The actor split with his wife of 25 years, Janette Beverley, 51, the mum of his two children, seven years ago. He recently admitted to having a problem with both drink and drugs. He revealed he took cocaine both before and after his sex abuse trial, which led to a break from the soap, and was said to be drinking ten pints a day in his local. This year, it was revealed he had been declared bankrupt after reportedly facing an outstanding tax bill. His finances had slipped after paying £200,000 in legal fees to clear his name against the child sex abuse allegations. Ministry of Justice rules prevent people who can afford their own defence from receiving tax-funded paybacks after the case, whether they are cleared or not. Michael, one of Corrie's top earners, has always preferred being with his friends than in front of the cameras in Weatherfield, often simply referring to his Corrie role as "the job". But now he fears what may happen if ITV bosses run out of patience with him for bringing the show into the headlines for all the wrong reasons. A former drinking buddy near his old home in Hale, Cheshire, said: "He knows nothing else. He's been doing this job since he was a teenager. "Michael loves a beer and a laugh — it's a major part of his life. "But what's happened to him in recent years has been a real wake-up call to him. "He realises that if anything happens to his job on Corrie, he's fairly clueless as to what he would do. "For quite a while he's made it clear how he wants to temper his life and root out those who are not supportive and loyal to him. "He is genuinely worried about bosses losing patience — because he doesn't have a Plan B."

Elsewhere, Fay returns to Erinsborough and has some shocking news for her children. In the emotional BBC1 genealogy documentary, Robert — The Sun's legal expert — learns how the parents and five siblings of his Jewish grandfather Morris were all killed during the Holocaust. The programme sees Robert travel to Piotrkow in Poland to follow Morris's story and he sees a train pass a spot from where his family members would have been taken to their deaths. The tearful star says: "Just the most staggering thing of passing on a speeding train, your family gone and then you go back to your house and you're alone. "It's impossible to fathom for my grandfather what that must have been like — to come back to nothing." Robert's grandfather was later sent to Schlieben concentration camp in Germany, where he was forced to work producing missiles for the German army. At the end of the war, he was one of hundreds of Jewish orphans who were brought to the UK, where he SOMBRE . . . Robert settled in the Lake District. A BBC source said: "Robert already had some knowledge about his family's history but discovered the full extent of their treatment during filming.

Kate and our Deidre Rinder tears at his death camp family THE BBC gave The Last Post a stellar cast and a plum slot on Sunday nights but they've already binned it after just one series. The six-parter was set in the Sixties and starred Call The Midwife's JESSICA RAINE and JESSIE BUCKLEY. It is a surprising move as the six-parter earned respectable viewing figures of around 6.8million when it aired last autumn. But the Beeb yesterday confirmed they were pulling the plug on Bafta-winning writer PETER MOFFAT's series, saying: "The Last Post was a fantastic series but we can confirm it won't be returning. We are looking to bring new ideas to BBC1." The Last Post focused on the sexual exploits of servicemen and their wives in the UK-run outpost of Aden, in what's now Yemen. Jessica played sex-starved siren Alison Laithwaite who was seen romping with her officer husband's superior. But even with all that steam, clearly not everyone at the BBC warmed to it. bi taking calls with Sun Agony Aunt DEIDRE SANDERS, Kate said: "At the beginning I could never imagine that the kids would talk about it. "Now they say on a daily basis, 'When are you giving us a brother or sister?' When you getting married? We want to be the bridesmaids'. It's really lovely how far we've come. "And Rio's thinking, 'Oh God, I've got three kids and Kate asking when are we going to do it." Get to the jewellers, Rio – you're already punching above your weight.

To find how my problem page works, see thesun.co.uk/deardeidrefaqs Do I ditch first love for cheat? Dear Deidre I WAS happy getting back with my first love and having the most caring sex ever – until my ex told me he had cheated on me through most of our relationship. Now I'm having sex with both of them and don't know what I feel. I'm 20 and my ex is 22. We were together for two years. I was very much in love with him. When we first began seeing each other, my parents were divorcing and he helped me through it all. He taught me loads and I don't know what I would have done without him. But some time last year things seemed to change. I thought we were happy together, but he started being snappy and cancelling dates. I didn't know why. Two months ago we ended up going our separate ways. I couldn't believe it was happening. A few days later I was at home drinking alone. I decided to text an old boyfriend — my first love — who is 21. He sounded surprised to topic4today AROUND three million people in the UK identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual. Attraction to both sexes can add pressure if you're in a relationship.

I poured my heart out to him. I guess I went to him for comfort, he was very consoling and sympathetic. I felt so alone and down. Having someone there was great. We ended up sleeping together that night and have been seeing each other ever since. He is lovely to me and a much more thoughtful lover than my ex-boyfriend. I thought I was over my ex until out of the blue he told me he had been thinking and wanted to con- fess that he had been cheating on me for more than a year during our relationship. That really hurt and raked up all my feelings again. I told him how upset that made me feel and he asked to come round to say sorry in person. I told him I was seeing someone else but it ended up with us having sex. He isn't caring like my new boyfriend but I can't help finding him more sexy. He now says he wants me back and I'm so tempted. But my first love has said he is falling back in love with me. I don't want to hurt either of them but I'm so torn. 0 DEIDRE SAYS: You can't have them both, that's for sure. I can understand the temptation to return to your ex but I doubt it's a good plan. It sounds to me as though he knew just how to hurt you when he felt you moving on emotionally. I doubt you can trust him long-term. I'm sending you my e-leaflet Moving On to help. You may be just using your first love as a security blanket. Ask him to give you space to think before committing. When you're torn between two men like this it's often because neither is really right for you. Dear Deidre I GET angry with my girlfriend as we have different views when it comes to Brexit. I am strongly in favour of it while she feels the opposite. I'm a guy of 29 and my girlfriend is 28. We've been together for three years. We get on very well most of the time except for this one thing. We argue about it lots and we both passionately think in different ways.

Our faces were so close we could have kissed. She's always touching my hand and standing close. We have been texting a lot and have flirted a bit. She thinks it is just banter but it really isn't. I am a 23-year-old woman and I'm in a gay relationship. My girlfriend is 22. We've been together for a year. My colleague is 22 and has a boy- can't get away from it. I know we should just agree to disagree but it's very frustrating. 0 DEIDRE SAYS: Brexit has seemed to divide people more than any other political issue for decades. But having different views on it doesn't have to mean you have different values on the really important issues such as how we care for the vulnerable. It can just be you have different ideas about how we best get there. Build on the bedrock values you share. friend. I know she's straight but she hasn't said she's out of line. I am worried in case something happens between us. I feel like she is giving me mixed signals. 0 DEIDRE SAYS: She may genuinely care for you or she's getting a buzz out of winding you up – but nothing will happen if you don't let it. Tell her you don't want any misunderstanding but you have no interest in anything happening between you, and certainly not while you are both with other partners. deidre's LOVER'S photo casebook FAMILY CALLUM'S BAD HABIT : DAY 3 Dear Deidre I'M HAVING A FEW FRIENDS ROUND TONIGHT, DO YOU WANT TO COME?

The two of us met up again by chance and we've now been together for two years. We love one another deeply. We had planned to get engaged but her family put a stop to it. Her mum especially treats her like a child and always put her down. I've written to her mum saying that all I want to do is make her daughter happy. The stress has put a strain on our relationship. I worry that they'll split us up. 0 DEIDRE SAYS: Your girlfriend is an adult and of course old enough to enjoy a relationship with anyone she chooses but she has to rustle up the confidence to stand up to her family. It'll be hard, but with your support she can do it. She needs to be mature, calm and assertive and tell her family that she doesn't want to fall out but she is free to follow her heart.

PARTNER REFUSES TO SHARE OUR BILLS Dear Deidre MY partner has never offered to pay rent or settle bills even though he inherited a large sum when his father died. I am 52 and my partner is 66. We have been together for 12 years. He is a loving and caring man, but he has always refused to take any financial responsibility. He has left me struggling throughout our relationship without ever contributing even the smallest amount. His excuse has always been that he is a pensioner and can't afford it. I know this isn't true but he says I'm money-minded. I've finally had enough and I'm seriously thinking of asking him to move out. I love him but I can no longer live with him while he continues to think finances should be kept separate like this – as in, I foot all the bills. 0 DEIDRE SAYS: Your partner enjoys the benefits of being in a couple while remaining mentally single on money issues, and sounds to be using it as a way to control you.

Fashion editor GABRIELE DIRVANAUSKAS picks out nine popular designs and asks Dane Butler, co-founder of specs specialist Finlay & Co London, which face shapes they best suit. Hearts, £8, prettylittle thing.com A FESTIVAL head-turner. They draw the eye upwards and help lengthen a round face. BEAT HEAT HEALTH HAZARDS WARMER weather is here at last – but, sadly, it can bring health hazards. LAURA STOTT spells out how to avoid common heat perils. SUNBURN: Protecting skin from sunburn and skin-cancerinducing UV rays is crucial. Always slather protection on to exposed face and body areas before going out on warm days. Apply SPF15 and top up regularly. Swerve the sun from noon to 3pm when UV rays are most powerful. And remember you can still burn when it's cloudy – so don't skip SPF on overcast days. DEHYDRATION: Drink plenty of fluids, including tea, water and soft drinks and watch out for tell-tale warning signs such as dark or strong smelling urine, excessive thirst, feeling faint or a dry mouth. Be especially vigilant if exercising or drinking alcohol in the heat. Rehydration sachets, from any pharmacy, will quickly replace essential sugar, salts and minerals needed if excess fluids are lost. INSECT BITES: When the sun arrives – so do the bugs. Saliva from insect bites and venom from stings leave skin red, swollen and itchy. But don't scratch. An over-the-counter antihistamine tablet or cream should reduce swelling and itching. Apple cider vinegar is a natural insect repellent. Swallow a spoonful daily – or add to food – to reduce bites. PRICKLY HEAT: This red, bumpy hive-like rash is caused by blocked sweat glands and exposure to sunlight. It often causes a stinging or prickling feeling. Seek shade or go inside – prickly heat usually reduces as skin cools. Avoid man-made fibres which can increase sweating. Choose natural fibres such as cotton. HEAT EXHAUSTION: This happens when a decrease in blood pressure and a loss of body fluid and salts causes nausea, exhaustion and lightheadedness. Heavy sweating, headaches, cramps and dizziness are other common symptoms. Resting in a cool place and drinking cold water usually eliminates issues within 30 minutes. Heat stroke is a more serious condition where the body overheats so much it is unable to cool. Seek medical help if you suspect this. INSOMNIA: Rising night-time temperatures cause perspiration and stops us drifting off. To cool bedrooms, keep curtains shut in the daytime and open windows. An electric fan will circulate air to help sweat evaporate overnight. Choose cotton sheets, which will absorb sweat to help prevent hot skin becoming clammy.

Just two sitting on their two tucked up COMA . . . Hannah talked to Philip as his organs failed days earlier, they had been the sofa watching TV while boys, five and three, were in bed. Philip had been off work with what they both thought was a bad case of "man flu". But it became pneumonia and Philip developed sepsis, a deadly infection which claims 44,000 UK lives a year. Despite Hannah saying her goodbyes in hospital, Philip miraculously survived. But both his legs had to be amputated below the knee. Now Hannah wants to raise awareness of the horrific condition. She says: "We all fear cancer and heart attacks but so few know about sepsis. It causes more deaths in the UK than bowel, breast and prostate cancer combined. "If we had spotted the symptoms earlier, our lives might have been very different now." Philip, 36, started feeling unwell while at work in March 2016. He came home and went to bed. Hannah, 38, says: "It was a Tuesday evening and Philip said he'd fallen asleep in a meeting. He had a high temperature and was shivering. There was little improvement over the next few days. "On the Saturday, I went out with the boys. When I came home he suggested watching telly. He looked pale but I thought he must be feeling a little better as he was up and about. When I woke the next morning he'd sent a text saying he had gone to see an outof-hours GP. I called and he said the doctor sent him to A&E." Hannah arranged for her father to come to the family's home in Stotfold, Beds, to look after sons Oscar, now seven, and Toby, five. Then she headed to Lister Hospital in Stevenage, Herts. She says: "By the time I arrived he was covered in a purple, grey rash. Within hours he would be in a coma. All of his organs were failing rapidly. "He had full heart, liver, lung and kidney failure over the next couple of days. 'Litres of black, infected fluid poured out of his lungs' "By the Tuesday, the Philip I loved had all but gone. He had turned purple and the gangrene was setting in. There was no sign of life. The nurse told me to speak to him, as I had to accept that we were near the end of life. I told him I could see his body was in a lot of pain. I gave him permission if he needed to go, not to hang on. I didn't want him to suffer any more. "But I said, 'If you think you've got anything left to give, then please keep fighting'. I told the children Daddy was sleeping. But then my eldest said, 'He will wake up though, won't he?' "My mum was with me and we were taken by his medical team into a private room. They said there were one or two things they would try but they didn't hold out much hope. They thought a chest drain would make him haemorrhage and die. But, as we had nothing to lose, they went ahead." Incredibly, Philip showed small signs of improvement. Hannah says: "Litres of black, infected fluid poured out of his lungs. The doctor came to see me, his eyes watering. I said: 'Has he gone?'. But he said: 'I'm crying as I don't want to give you false hope. But he has made the night and is improving.' "Philip was in a coma for two weeks. The doctor said it was likely he would at least lose some toes and fingers and a chance he would be brain damaged. We wouldn't know until he woke up." Philip was not brain damaged but had to have his legs amputated below the knee and the tips of his thumbs. He was in hospital for six months. Hannah says: "Philip is quite an able disabled person. He can use prosthetic legs but after a day wearing them, he is tired and in pain. At home he is dependent on a wheelchair. Despite everything, we count ourselves lucky. Philip will get to see the boys grow up. "Philip is incredibly determined. He is on the Team GB wheelchair tennis development squad and it's amazing he can still play." Philip says: "Sepsis can happen to anyone. One minute I was leading a healthy, active life. Barely a week later, I was struggling to survive. I owe my life to the incredible hospital team that cared for me. If you ever feel so ill you think you might die, ask, 'Could it be sepsis?'" We talk to a mum who feared she would lose her baby girl to the infection — and The Sun's Lynsey shares her own frightening story. Sepsis kills more people than bowel, breast and prostate cancer combined – yet few know about it. It's time to fill in the blanks — 'Put in induced coma' LOUISE DAVIES, 35, a primary school learning mentor, lives in Sutton Coldfield, West Mids, with teacher husband Brian, 36, and daughters Isla, nine, and Aoife, four. She says: Aoife was nine weeks when she picked up a cold at the weekend. She wasn't feeding or sleeping and had a high temperature. I went to my GP on the Monday and was sent to A&E. Aoife was gasping for air. She was put in an induced coma and given a blood transfusion. I was lucky Dr Ron Daniels, who set up the UK Sepsis Trust, was working and spotted the signs. We were told to prepare for the worst but on the Friday, Aoife came off life support. She had human metapneumovirus, which caused sepsis. Not all families get this happy ending. 6 7 1GM Wednesday, May 9, 2018 ............... TAKES THOUSANDS OF LIVES A YEAR IMPROVING . . . Hannah and Philip smile. Out using his prosthetic legs with sons Oscar and Toby, main The symptoms l Slurred speech or confusion l Extreme shivering or muscle pain l Passing no urine in a day l Severe breathlessness l Skin mottled or discoloured The facts DR RON DANIELS, of the UK Sepsis Trust, says: "Sepsis is the way the body responds to an infection. "It often develops after a chest infection or a urinary tract infection but it can also develop after a cut, a bite or sting. If not treated quickly, it can lead to organ failure and ultimately death. "We all know what having an infection feels like. You might feel a bit under the weather. But those with sepsis often feel like they are at death's door. "If you feel something isn't right, call NHS 111 or speak to your GP and ask, 'Could it be sepsis?' It's crushingly common. There are around 250,000 cases a year in the UK. It's more common than heart attacks. "The numbers recorded by the NHS are going up by ten per cent a year. "Sepsis claims 44,000 lives a year but 40 per cent of survivors are left with longterm health issues. "That's 50,000 to 60,000 people every year." — — How to avoid 'I was in labour when my temperature rocketed' SUN journalist Lynsey Hope, 36, was diagnosed with maternal sepsis during labour with her second child. The mum, who lives in West Malling, Kent, with policeman husband Nick, 38, and children Jacob, three, and Olive, one, says: I was many hours into labour with Olive and the pain was really starting to set in. But suddenly I started shaking and it was clear from the panic around me something was wrong. The midwife was running around looking for a doctor. My temperature skyrocketed. I 6 felt freezing cold and I remember asking my husband for blankets. I was given paracetamol to bring down my temperature and I remember I kept hearing the word "infection". Luckily, the midwife picked up on it early. I was quickly examined by a doctor and pumped full of intravenous antibiotics. I did hear them saying the word "sepsis". At the time, it was the least of my worries. I still had to give birth to a baby. It was only afterwards the reality of the situation sank in. I remained in hospital for three days. I was also given probiotic drinks to try to restore the balance of healthy bacteria in my body. I had to return to my GP's surgery several times after I was discharged to give regular blood and urine samples. I was warned about the signs of infection and told to head straight back to the hospital if I had any concerns. Sepsis is not something people know much about. It's not something I realised you could pick up during labour. Pregnant women are also at an increased risk, which I never knew. 7 ! $ % Say yes to vaccinations .

Despite mounting challenges, journalists must continue to keep the public informed. The press should always be antagonistic and aggressive and not kowtow to any administration, no matter what party. Hands off our press. It does a jolly good job. KAREN SEVILLE Prenton, Merseyside TOM WATSON'S proposed Data Protection Bill amendment, meaning newspapers that refuse to sign up to state-approved regulatory body Impress would foot the bill for legal disputes, does not impress me at all. It is typical of Labour wanting to control anybody who might speak out about them. We don't need telling what we can or can't read. Leave the press alone to tell us exactly as it is, even if at times it upsets people. DAVID ROBERTS Market Rasen, Lincs HOW much more tripe do we have to put up with? After 300 years of freedom of the press the likes of Max Mosley, who bankrolled Impress, want to bring in Section 40 for an amendment. Newspapers who are sued must pay legal costs of their accuser whether they win or lose. Is our democracy going down the pan? Our Government must put Impress in the bin, where it belongs.

PHIL, Swansea IT'S no surprise that under-tens are committing violent crimes. They are just following their elders and thinking: "Brilliant, we can do what we want. No one can do anything about it." There is no discipline in homes or schools and no punishment if they are caught. Hold the front page — it's going to get a lot worse until someone has the guts to do something about it. PAUL WOOD Stanley, Co Durham HOW many young men must be killed on the streets of London before Sadiq Khan resigns? We need a mayor who is not full of lukewarm air and empty promises. Without doubt, there have been cutbacks to the police. But after every death, this is his excuse for doing nothing tangible IF in June 2016 the country had voted to remain in the EU, the Government would not be turning themselves inside out to find ways of placating those who chose Leave. Why are we trying to only pretend to leave the EU? No single market, no customs union, no open borders and no European Court of Justice. No compromises. No more money. DAVID JACKSON Chard, Somerset LORD WILLETTS' Resolution Foundation has suggested we heap more taxes on the UK's pensioners and give £10,000 to every 25-year-old to help them progress. Astonishing! Our OAPs have given so much. The problems lie in lack of opportunity in education, expensive and useless courses, laziness, veterans being ignored and people given early retirement at 50 with little chance of another job. It is humiliating. Let's close the House of Lords and have a chamber that represents the people. PETER BOOTH Altrincham, Gtr Manchester I WILL not be voting for any party that gives credence to the lunatic ideas of the Resolution Foundation. The reason pensioners have some money is we worked for it, not refusing "unpleasant" work but taking any job available.

At work, your talent will shine through but it's the way you give others true confidence that matters even more. In matters of love, passion gets stronger as trust is rebuilt. The challenge from Venus, now in your personality chart, is to believe in love and not question your partner's feelings. If you are free to meet someone new, listen out for a voice you recognise but a face you don't. A newcomer at work will be very friendly but very competitive too. Jupiter and the sun face each other across the zodiac and set up a choice – stay with a project that links friends, music and charity, or go solo to find a quicker route to success. As for romance, new love has a mysterious past. Settled? You will soon discover just how romantic you can be as a couple. Your ruling light, the sun, climbs high and brings a sudden upswing in energy and enthusiasm. This helps you get the green light for home plans. As for romance, don't hide what is in your heart. Put feelings into words to reassure a partner or do some full-on flirting with a new face where friends meet up. Generous Jupiter helps you make the family feel like a team again. One person's careless words can be forgotten but resist organising every detail of your partner's life. Single? You sense you are ready for deep and abiding love. You could find it when a wise friend introduces you to Taurus "J". It seems like a small change at work but it marks the start of growing success that could alter so much about your life in all the right ways. If you are looking for love, you'll find it staring right back when you open the door of a food store. Already part of a couple? Don't take love for granted. Put it into words. Your mind is switched on and your emotions are calm, so you make smart choices in your love life. At work, you can say yes to an opportunity very different to the one you expected. At home, you achieve most when you show quiet confidence in your own plans rather than trying to keep everyone happy. The moon is in the most healing part of your chart, so this is the perfect moment to get in touch with people you miss. This can lead to restarting a romance or remaking a work team. But in all cases, mind and heart need to agree. A massive money prize means more when it is shared. The clash between the sun and Jupiter gives you a new kind of determination to use your own talent. Keep working at it until doors open. This talent has two meanings, one linked to the showbiz world, the other to profitable business deals. Love that was going nowhere starts to talk about weddings. You have a clear view of love and see that a relationship run to suit only one partner needs to change. The moon is in place to help you rebuild this love and you will both enjoy it more. If you are free to find a new partner, a lawyer could be The One. When choosing between two houses, listen to instinct. As the moon moves into your sign, many things will change in your favour. Deals are agreed and the love in both hearts shows equal strength. At work, you have that certain something that means a dream job can be yours. Set aside time for a relative who has such important decisions to make. 41 42 ...............

Wednesday, May 9, 2018 1GM 1GM Disease expert . . . Shire PROGRESS ON TAKEDA TAKEAWAY THE board of SHIRE, a rare disease specialist listed on the FTSE100, has backed a £46billion takeover by Japan's TAKEDA. It ends weeks of wrangling, with a string of previous offers from the Japanese pharma giant rejected by the Irish firm. The new deal is expected to bring cost savings of at least £1billion. This may include a six to seven per cent reduction in the firms' combined workforce of 52,000. The merged group, called Takeda, would be listed in Tokyo and New York, but not London. The takeover now needs the approval of 70 per cent of Takeda shareholders. If approved, it is set for the first half of 2019. Shire chairman Susan Kilsby said: "We firmly believe this combination recognises the strong growth potential of our leading products and innovative pipeline — and is in the best interests of our shareholders, patients and the communities we serve." Osaka-based Takeda, founded in 1781, said the deal would strengthen its core therapeutic areas, "bringing together complementary positions".

Speaking in New York, Sir Martin said he had been "extracted" from WPP. He added: "I'm not going into voluntary or involuntary retirement." He said leaving WPP had given him a better perspective on which parts of the industry were growing and adapting, and which were held back by the "warts and problems that legacy companies have". He said many clients had asked him: "What is the new agency model?" It said the tie-up would create the "UK's leading challenger bank offering both personal and small business customers a genuine alternative to the large incumbent banks". News of the offer sent Virgin Money shares soaring nearly 10 per cent, while CYBG shares rose by just over 1 per cent. However, it emerged yesterday that the Financial Conduct Authority was looking into last week's 15 per cent jump in the value of Virgin Money's shares which came before the approach was announced. The deal would bolster the challenger banks who are out to disrupt the UK's established players. The joint company would have 6million customers and help CYBG strengthen its position in the mortgage market and expand into credit CLOSING PRICES A selection of last night's FTSE closing prices: BARCLAYS up 1.3 to 206.90 BP down 8.3 at 549.79 CENTRICA down 1 at 153.65 HSBC down 3.8 at 710.60 LLOYDS up 0.28 at 65.66 M&S up 2.5 at 291.40 MORRISONS up 1.1 at 247.10 RBS up 1 at 273.20 ROYAL MAIL down 0.2 at 598.60 SAINSBURY'S down 5.9 at 295.40 TESCO down 0.8 at 239.90 Full share prices in Saturday's paper. cards. Virgin Money would gain instant access to current accounts and small business lending. A formal offer for Virgin Money must be tabled by June 4. The deal could mean a bumper payout for founder Sir Richard Branson, whose Virgin Group holds a controlling stake in the lender. Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said: "CYBG has lived in the shadows of the big players like HSBC and LLOYDS. Its future was inevitably going to focus on consolidation in order to build up scale." GET YOUR COTES RESTAURANT group COTE is considering closing a handful of sites in a restructuring plan. Cote, which is owned by private equity firm BC PARTNERS, bought the Jackson & Rye and Limeyard brands in 2016 but is now looking at closing outlets to save on costs. One restructuring option would be a company voluntary agreement, a route pursued by a number a restaurant chains and retailers.

Wednesday, May 9, 2018 O'BRIEN WEAVES MAGIC By STEVE JONES AIDAN O'BRIEN has cast a spell over the Cheshire Oaks with five of the last ten winners. And his Magic Wand looks the pick of his three runners today — at least she is the one with the Ryan Moore seal of approval. Magic Wand is yet to win in three starts but her trainer said: "She is a lovely filly and a halfsister to Chicquita. "She has had one run on bad ground this year and got a little bit tired. "Rather than go back for a maiden now we'll let them step into those races now as if they won their maiden." O'Brien's son Donnacha, fresh from 2,000 Guineas success on Saxon Warrior, rides Forever Together. Seamie Heffernan is aboard Dramatically, who finished down the field in the Nell Gwyn. O'Brien added: "Forever Together hasn't run this year and is still a maiden, but she is ready to go. "We were waiting on the ground but you can't wait too long. "It will be good experience for them and we'll see how they go. "We will all learn together." Gavin Cromwell is another Irish-based trainer bidding for Cheshire Oaks glory with Princess Yaiza. She is twice a winner on the all-weather at Dundalk and will have the benefit of expert Chester jockey Franny Norton on board. Cromwell said: "We're very happy with her going there. "We were a bit disappointed with the draw in stall ten but if anyone can steer her around there we have the right man on board. "I've never been to the races at Chester so I'm looking forward to it."

RAS'LL DAZZLE . . . Young Rascal scooted home at Newbury YOUNG RASCAL bolted up at Newbury and looks the one to be on in the Chester Vase. He can see off Aidan O'Brien's invaders. GET your teeth into NO LIPPY. She won on debut on testing ground at Doncaster and this well-bred filly will improve for that run and she should like the better ground. Tom Dascombe bids to win this for the third time since 2010. Light My Fire might be the best of his four runners. THE Cheshire Oaks was the launch pad for Enable's rise to greatness so let's back John Gosden and Frankie Dettori to strike again with AWARD WINNING. She improved for her debut when running away with a Wetherby novice contest.

Magic Wand could take a big jump forward on decent ground. FORMIDABLE KITT won on her debut before coming up short in Group races. Her fourth behind Havana Grey was a fair effort and she has been let in lightly. Spoof finished close up when fifth in the Group 2 Cornwallis. His handicap rating has suffered as a result. IT might be foolish to take on O'Brien given he has won this eight times in the last 11 years but I've been impressed with YOUNG RASCAL. He chased home smart My Lord And Master on debut and destroyed a big field over a mile at Newbury — a trip clearly too short for him. Ispolini had Hunting Horn behind when touched off at Sandown's but he may not improve much on that. 3.00 3.35 GOOD (GOOD TO FIRM) 3.55 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 U45062U0P560410/ 11P070233- HANDICAP CHASE (2); winner £14,076; 2m 5f.

Wednesday, May 9, 2018 Happy baize! CHRIS FROOME'S P Giro d'Italia hopes took a hit in Sicily as fellow Brit Simon Yates moved third overall. Team Sky's Froome finished 21sec behind winner Tim Wellens in yesterday's stage four. He trails Pink Jersey holder Rohan Dennis by 55sec. Mitchelton-Scott ace Yates is 17sec back. CHAMP MARK'S ALL-NIGHTER Tom rest for Tokyo MARK WILLIAMS celebrated his third snooker world title with a SEVEN-HOUR bender — before waking up in bed with his best mate! TOM DALEY is taking a break from diving until 2019. The Welshman made the most of his 18-16 triumph over John Higgins at the Crucible on Bank Holiday Monday. Williams finished his media and sponsors requirements at 11pm, then drank with his family and friends at Sheffield's Mercure Hotel until 6am on Tuesday. About 300 fans rocked up at the free bar to toast Williams, who became the oldest man in 40 years to win the world title. Next day he posted a photo of him in bed with fellow pro Lee Walker and tweeted: "I never celebrated any of my wins EVER but this b*****d I am. Unreal to see all my mates enjoying the occasion and having a laugh." Once sunrise arrived, he told his The triple world champ has won Commonwealth gold in the synchro 10m platform and five diving world series medals so far this year. But he will now miss next month's World Cup in China and not return to full training until the autumn — when he is set to become a dad. Daley, 23, hopes the break will allow him to be fully fit for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. He said: "I'll be using the rest of the year to spend time with my husband and new baby and work on projects close to my heart. "I am sure this will give me the time I need to be in a position to compete at my best going into the next Olympics." By HECTOR NUNNS 74,000-plus Twitter followers: "5.44 and still going strong. Told you I was going to enjoy this one. OMG, I feel like s**t." Williams, world champion in 2000 and 2003, had turned up NAKED for his post-final press conference, just as he had vowed to do earlier in the tournament. It was an incredible turnaround after he watched last year's final drinking beers in a caravan. Williams, 43, said: "Maybe the difference is bottle, showing some big balls. Look at that pink I missed for the title in the 33rd frame. "Who else could have come straight back and made a break like that to win it in the next frame? Maybe John Higgins himself would be the only one. "I'm not sure if even Ronnie O'Sullivan or Stephen Hendry would have done that. "I never thought I'd play until I was 50 as Ronnie has said he will. But who knows now if I keep playing the way I'm playing. "The money, the £425,000, is great and the £880,000 I've earned this season will help make up for some problems I've had. "But the first thing I'll do is go down to our caravan in Somerset and have a few beers — having won the tournament, not just watching it on TV like last year!" Williams is the oldest man to win the world title since fellow Welshman and six-time champ Ray Reardon did it at 45 in 1978. Reardon, now 85, said proudly: "Mark's always been a lovely player to watch and whatever he was looking for, he has found it. I'd say he is at his peak!" Higgins, 42, put a brave face on a second straight final defeat, having lost to Mark Selby in 2017. He said: "It's like a drug this game — and you want more of what we had in this final." SUPER LEAGUE'S Super 8s is set to P be ditched next season. Currently, the top eight split while the bottom four take on the top four in the Championship. But sources told SunSport the system could be binned in favour of a top-six play-off in 2019. Muzza in KO fear ANDY MURRAY is a doubt for Wimbledon after fears he suffered a setback in his recovery from hip surgery. The former world No 1 struggled in practice in the south of France.

Most of England's 420 professionals are frustrated and in the dark about how the event will work when it begins in 2020. ECB chief executive Tom Harrison and tournament supremo Sanjay Patel tried to ease their fears during a meeting with representatives from the 18 counties at Edgbaston yesterday. But they failed to provide much fresh detail. Players cannot understand why the ECB will abandon the successful Twenty20 for the 'Hundred,' which is untried and sounds gimmicky. The governing body say they do not want a like-for-like rival to the exist- revert to a T20 format. Worcestershire's Daryl Mitchell, chairman of the Professional Cricketers' Association, said: "There's no competition without any players, is there? "As a union, we'd have to feel very strongly to go completely against it. But we need more details, we need to canvas opinions. "One of the huge concerns is the timeframe. Here we are, two years out, and the ECB don't officially have a format that is set in stone. The drafts, general managers, pay bands . . . there's an enormous amount of unanswered questions. "We don't even have a timeframe each, meaning top players could earn around £120,000 for the six-week event. That might not be enough to entice the world's biggest stars, especially as the event is due to clash with the Caribbean Premier League. The tournament will not include the likes of Joe Root and Ben Stokes because England play Tests at the same time. Mitchell (right) added: "The ECB told us the new audience wouldn't necessarily know who Joe Root and Ben Stokes are." MARK WOOD has quit the Indian Pre- mier League to try to keep his England Test place. The Durham quickie, 28, will now play against Derbyshire on Friday instead of sitting on the bench with Chennai Super Kings. He will give up a chunk of his £165,000 IPL fee. Wood played in last month's draw in New Zealand and is in contention for the First Test against Pakistan at Lord's on May 24. Meanwhile, spinner Nathan Lyon expects plenty of flak when the Aussies play a one-day series here in June following the sandpaper scandal.

Wednesday, May 9, 2018 1GM BOXING OLD FOES' REUNION BEST OF ENEMIES . . . Joshua and Klitschko are reunited at Wembley after megafight last year (inset) HAYE . . . 'big mistakes' David was past his Haye day By OSCAR PAUL Wlad to help KLITSCHKO: I'M IN AJ'S CORNER NOW By PAT SHEEHAN ANTHONY JOSHUA will have Wladimir Klitschko in his his new-found mentor: "You're corner as he attempts to told hired, you're hired — whatever you achieve world domination. want, you're hired!" Last month AJ and Klitschko returned to Wembley, where 12 months previously Brit superstar Joshua stopped the Ukrainian in the 11th round. Joshua, who holds the WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles, is aiming to become undisputed heavyweight champion. All he needs is the WBC belt held by Deontay Wilder for the full set — and a mega unification bout with the American, 32, could happen this year. Now Dr Steelhammer has agreed to help Londoner AJ dominate the division. Speaking to Klitschko in a BBC documentary broadcast tonight, Joshua, 28, said: "You experienced everything in your career. "Your knowledge is like an encyclopedia and is very, very valuable to whoever you pass it on to — hopefully me. "There's no one better to get wisdom and knowledge from than yourself. "Klitschko speaks 50 languages, he has a PhD in every category going at university and his mind is a level above a lot of people." As the fighters stood in the centre circle at Wembley, Joshua Klitschko, 42, bossed the division for more than a decade, winning 64 pro fights across 21 years. And for the first time, he admits he is willing to put aside his ego and pass on his invaluable years of wisdom. He said: "I've already told Anthony he is something quite unique and if you look back at his fights, I was damn right. "I do believe you have the capabilities to dominate the sport for a long, long time. "But take care of your health. Maintain it. One thing you must know is to never underestimate your opponent. "I will be super-duper happy if I can enable him to go on to bigger success. "I told him that the more he shines, the more I shine." The Klitschko fight proved the making of Joshua — he was knocked to the canvas for the first time in his pro career as the pair traded blows in front of a crowd of 90,000. AJ said: "This is the first time we've met since our fight and I have to say it's an honour to be here a year on. "It takes two to tango and Wladimir was a great dancing partner that night, when I proved I have the heart and ability to compete at world level. "It was the closest I'd ever come to losing. It was just a classic heavyweight fight." Tense talks are talking place about Joshua facing Wilder in a £75million superfight this autumn. Klitschko has little doubt who would triumph if the pair were to make it to the ring. He said: "They have both been in my training camp. We have spent plenty of rounds together. "They are completely different fighters at calculating punches. "But the strength, the core and the foundation of athleticism that Anthony has — plus being Olympic champion with a great amateur background — is something Wilder doesn't have. "That is crucially important and I look forward to the match." Joshua sees the Wilder fight as his sporting destiny. He said: "Wilder is a heavyweight champion as well as me. "In his 40 fights, he's boxed relatively decent opponents in his ten-year career. He just needs that last big one — and I need it too — so there's a fight pending. "As long as fans still want me, they will get the best from me." l JOSHUA V KLITSCHKO: Return to Wembley, BBC One, 10.45pm tonight DAVID HAYE'S ex-trainer said the boxer should have retired long before he was beaten for a second time by Tony Bellew. The injury-plagued bruiser is now considering retirement after the fifthround stoppage at London's O2 left him with back-to-back losses. And Adam Booth, who guided Haye, 37, to heavyweight and cruiserweight world titles before an acrimonious split, believes he should never have returned in 2016 after three-and-a-half years out. Booth said: "It's hard to see where he can go from here. David should have never been in there anyway — and he shouldn't even have been in there last year, but he was. "I don't know how he is physically but, technically, he made some big mistakes and let Tony trade with him. "You don't hook with a hooker, if you're not a hooker, and David is a 'jab and straight right-hand' puncher. He made the wrong choice — and paid the price."

SHORT Dan gets Eds up By JONNY FORDHAM GLORY . . . Klitschko stopped by jubilant Joshua DANNY CIPRIANI is a redhot contender to be called up tomorrow for England's three-Test tour of South Africa next month. Coach Eddie Jones faces his toughest selection decision as he juggles the need to pick a strong outfit while resting his Lions. Wasps' Cipriani, 30, has had a superb season and, though Jones has never selected the 14-cap flyhalf for a Test, he will struggle to ignore him. The coach said: "My selection philosophy has not changed. "It is about the capacity of players to play international rugby, which is significantly different to playing club rugby. "Danny is someone I have been chatting to. He knows where he is and what he has to do." Dylan Hartley is one of the casualties so Owen Farrell is set to be captain. Manu Tuilagi asked not to be picked to recuperate after a tough season. 1GM 2001: A GOLF ODYSSEY Wednesday, May 9, 2018 ............... 53 By DAVID FACEY PHIL MICKELSON warned golf's young guns: You'll never play as well as Tiger Woods in his pomp. Lefty had to take a back seat at the start of the century when his great rival won the Tiger Slam — all four Majors. And Mickelson claims Woods' 15-shot trouncing of the US Open field at Pebble Beach in 2000 will never be matched. Mickelson got a close-up look at Woods' spectacular play in the 2001 Players Championship — which the 14-time Major champ also won en route to his Slam. The duo are paired together again for the first two rounds of this year's Players, which starts at Sawgrass tomorrow. And Mickelson, 47, warned Rory McIlroy & Co they are in dreamland if they think they can get even close to rivalling Woods' period of dominance. He said: "I don't think we'll ever see that level of play again. "It was the most remarkable golf in the history of the game. And I think it's unrepeatable. It was that good. "I look at the 2000 US Open as being the benchmark, as the greatest golf I've ever witnessed — and, I believe, has ever been played. "And it sucked to have to play against him, it really did. You look at it and you say, 'How am I going to beat this?'. "There was a stretch there of a number of years that it was so impressive that it was hard to imagine that it was actually happening, that he was hitting some of the shots that he was hitting Tiger era 'unrepeatable' and playing that well. The guys today look back and they say, 'Come on, how much better could he have been?' "But they weren't there to witness it, so they can't fully appreciate just how extraordinary his golf was." Mickelson added: "My record against him also used to suck but it's gotten better over the years. "I love the fact that we've been paired together again. It hasn't happened anywhere on Thursday-Friday for about four years. "Now that it's happened, it's cool to pick up the local newspaper and see it on the front page. "I guess that shows how much interest it has created. "It's going to be a lot of fun and hopefully it will add something to the tournament." Woods (right), 42, admitted he looks back at the highlights of that run to try to inspire him to more success — especially as he has now gone five years without a win and ten without adding to his Major haul. He said: "I do go back and look at those tournaments, because I was on a pretty good run. "I held all four Majors, the Players and two World Golf Championship trophies, so I had won pretty much every big event we play. "And my level of play was like that not just for one year, but for a long period of time. "I played well, I fought well, I putted well — I did everything well. And that's what I'm trying to get back to." Mickelson, who has five Majors, suggested a "high stakes" battle between the two at Sawgrass would spice things up. And Woods is up for the challenge. He said: "Yeah, that would be cool. We should play for whatever would make him feel uncomfortable!" TAT'S COOL FOR BIG ED MANCHESTER CITY keeper Ederson celebrated the club's title triumph with a massive new tattoo. The devout Christian, 24, had images of Jesus and God inked on the entirety of his right leg. His Instagram post showing off the artwork came soon after City lifted the Premier League trophy on Sunday.

LADBROKES CHAMPIONSHIP: Play-Off Final, 1st Leg - Alloa v Dumbarton. LADBROKES LEAGUE ONE: Play-Off Final, 1st Leg - Stenhousemuir v Peterhead. SPEEDWAY: Premiership Riders' Championship (Poole, 7.30). Spurs have won just once in four Premier League games and could miss out on a topfour spot — and a place in next season's Champions League — if Chelsea can make up a two-point gap in the final two games. Pochettino's team host Leicester in Sunday's top-flight closer in what is set to be their final home game at Wembley before moving to a new stadium. He said: "To win the Champions League is a dream of everyone. "It's impossible to not give your best in the last two games to win. "It's massive because the Champions League is, with the Premier League, the best competition in the world. "It's in our own hands and we need to die to try to achieve that. "Now it's not, 'We need to play two strikers, three defenders', it's about the players who are going to play to die to try to achieve. "If we cannot, we cannot. That is different — we need to analyse why. "But now we have to be all together, to fight for that, with our fans and to create a good atmosphere for this game and Sunday. "To play Champions League in the new stadium would be fantastic. "That was always our dream, to have the possibility to fight with this kind of club. "We arrived four years ago and the team was sixth and it was, 'The dream is to fight and to reduce the gap'. "That is the truth but four years later we are there. But win? It's not an easy thing to achieve like this, like magic. We are in a good race to win some titles one day." Pochettino's side lost 1-0 at West Brom on Saturday but he insists the cash generated by a run in the Champions League is not a key factor in the club's future planning. His chairman Daniel Levy, though, is unlikely to agree — Spurs earned more than £50million from the competition this season, while Liverpool are in line for £70m-plus. Asked whether chairman Levy is counting on the European revenue next season, Poch added: "I think Daniel is fine with the money. It is not a problem. "The plan four years ago was not to play every season in the Champions League, just to be sure the club is going to survive. "If you overachieve, fantastic. You have more money to invest. But I don't think money is a problem." Eric Dier, meanwhile, has been ruled out of the game at Wembley tonight with an illness. Pochettino said: "He started to vomit with a fever and now he needs 48 hours to recover. We hope he will be available for the weekend and I believe he will be." As for tonight's opponents, Newcastle, Poch said: "They have had a fantastic season. Rafa Benitez has done a brilliant job." Tweet @CharlieWyett RAFA'S OLD RECORD RAFA smash record striker By DAVID COVERDALE BENITEZ wants to Newcastle's transfer ahead of tonight's trip to face to sign a top-class Tottenham, Benitez said: "If this summer. you want to bring a striker Toon have never spent more than the £16million they paid to bring Michael Owen from Real Madrid in 2005. Unsurprisingly, that is comfortably the longest-standing club record in the Premier League — 14 teams even broke their record this season. But Toon's top Premier League scorer this season is Ayoze Perez with just six. And with a guarantee of more than ten to 15 goals per season, you have to pay money for sure. "More than £16m? In this market, yes. "Someone has to be expensive to be sure that you have the quality that you need in the Premier League. "If you want to compete now, you have to spend some money. Does that mean you have to break the record? If it is necessary, you can do it." Benitez has been linked with Atletico Madrid's out-of contract striker Fernando Torres — but believes the Spaniard fancies a new experience in a different country, possibly the MLS. The Toon boss, who had Torres at Liverpool, said: "Fernando is a great player, he did really well for us. "He's an icon, and idol at Atletico Madrid but I don't know what he will do in the future." TOP SHOT . . . Perez has six CROCKED . . . the Ox PAIN From Back Page confirm that my season for both club and country is over having undergone successful ankle surgery. "It's been a tough few weeks trying everything to be available on the pitch to help the team. "I'm going to do all I can to get back and be in the best possible shape for pre-season. The focus now is to support the team in the two biggest games of the season." A win over Brighton on Sunday will confirm the Reds' top-four place. Gomez was firmly in Gareth Southgate's plans after making his England debut earlier this season. But he limped out of the win over Holland, then rushed back to action to help his clubmates. After playing through the pain in the draw with Stoke on April 28, he aggravated the problem. That ruled him out of the Champions League semi-final against Roma and the decision was made to go under the knife instead of managing the injury with injections. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee) and Joel Matip (thigh) are already out for Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp ahead of the European showpiece on May 26. Gareth to go early By CHARLIE WYETT GARETH SOUTHGATE is to name his England World Cup squad next week. It will be one of the earliest to be announced compared to other nations heading to Russia. The Three Lions boss will deliver the news either next Wednesday or Thursday and it will be a FINAL 23-man list plus some standby names. England's next game is against Nigeria on June 2 and countries must give Fifa their final party of 23 two days later. Yet Southgate wants to use the coming weeks as a training camp for his selected players rather than a trial for those still dreaming of making the cut. Southgate will look at Sunday's final Premier League games before making the announcement at Wembley. England must hand Fifa a provisional 35-man squad on Monday but that will not be made public. There will be standby stars on the list and they will be expected to wait before going on holiday. The country's final warm-up match is against Costa Rica at Leeds' Elland Road on June 7 and England are due to travel to their base near St Petersburg on June 12. The opening match against Tunisia is on June 18 in Volgograd. CHELSEA v HUDDERSFIELD DERSFIELD Ant now the end is near (CONTE WANTS TO KNOW IF IT'S THE FINAL CURTAIN) I'LL BE THE NEW SCHMEIC6HANEDL7 GOALS - PAGES Wednesd 7.45pm & INVITES YOU TO SEE By ANDREW DILLON ANTONIO CONTE wants a swift resolution to his Chelsea limbo. The Blues' coach insists he is committed to the club despite mounting speculation he will be sacked this summer with 12 months still left on his £9.6million-a-year contract. Tonight's home game against relegation-threatened Huddersfield may turn out to be his Stamford Bridge swansong. Chelsea are at Newcastle for Sunday's season finale before facing Manchester United in a Wembley FA Cup final in ten days' time. Conte (left) said: "There are two weeks and this season will finish and you will know if there is a different situation or if you see me again next season. "It is very difficult to comment on any speculation because it has been around me from the start of the season after the first game against Burnley. "I think you understood this speculation is not important for me because my focus is only to work in the best possible way with my players. "Right now it is important to be focused on the present and to finish this season in the best possible way. "This is not my task to tell if I did a good job, or if I have a good team for next season, or if we are building something important. "There is the club and people able to make judgments about this season. I think I am the last person to make a judgment on it." Conte's fifth-placed side are mounting a late charge for the top four. They trail Spurs by two points and are three behind Liverpool in third — with a game in hand on the Scousers. Italian Conte, 48, added: "For sure there is disappointment because this season we dropped many points in a stupid way against teams, especially games we dominated. "But now is not the time for regret because we have to play two games and then the FA Cup and at the end of the season we will see."

Wednesday, May 9, 2018 PREM LEAGUE LEICESTER I won't WILSHERE . . . talks in balance Wilshere Gunner stay here ARSENE'S AFTER By MARK IRWIN JACK WILSHERE will finally sign a new Arsenal contract, according to Arsene Wenger. Wilshere, 26, is set to become a free agent this month and is still negotiating a new deal after being told he must take a 25 per cent pay-cut. But Gunners boss Wenger said: "The latest conversation I had with Jack looks positive. "I am convinced his future is here. It was always my wish that he will be here next season. "I've known Jack since he was 15 and watched him grow from a kid to a man. We have built a special relationship. "He went from being a superstar to being out for a year and that is very difficult to deal with." Wenger also confirmed Mesut Ozil, 29, will miss Arsenal's final two games with a back problem. But he insisted he does not let the German pick and choose his games. He said: "A player can get over the pain for one game but afterwards there is a recurrence of inflammation. That's what happened to Ozil — at the moment he is injured." Laurent Koscielny could be sidelined until the New Year after surgery on his ruptured Achilles. The Arsenal defender, 32, was injured against Atletico Madrid last week. 2GM DOWN ON HIS LUCK . . . Wenger on holiday in Corscia in 2011 — but the Frenchman prefers to be in the bootroom WAYNE From Back Page and last month he enraged Rooney when he subbed him in the Mersey derby against Liverpool, — with Rooney shown shouting 'Bulls***!' as he sat on the bench. It is believed DC United initially approached the Three Lions' record scorer last year before he left United for Everton. Rooney instead joined Ronald Koeman's side but the Dutchman was then axed in October and replaced by Allardyce. Big Sam has divided fans in his short stint at Everton and recently said it would take a 'massive' offer to persuade them to allow Rooney to leave. Allardyce told talkSPORT yesterday: "There are rumours about Wayne going elsewhere abroad, "But at the moment he's an Everton player and Everton fan. I wouldn't consider anything on the cards." HE MIGHT be pushing 69 but Arsene Wenger has no intention of hanging up his boots any time soon. Football's most sprightly pensioner cannot imagine life without his daily dose of trainingground tonic. So even though he is being reluctantly ushered towards the Arsenal exit this week, he still refuses to contemplate retirement. And while he has finally opened the door to an upstairs job, his clear preference for next season is to remain in management. Wenger certainly has no intention to spend the next few months sunning himself by the side of an exotic swimming pool while sipping a cocktail. He still recalls those infamous photos of him on a water slide and concedes: "I don't look very good on the beach." But the subject of his next move is no laughing matter. And on the eve of his penultimate game as Arsenal boss By MARK IRWIN at Leicester tonight, Wenger declared: "People look at your age and make such an issue of it that it becomes a bit of discrimination. "They don't really look at how you work and perform. They just say, 'Oh, he is old'. "I can understand that attitude because I thought the same way when I was young. "But I keep myself fit, I run every day and I still play football if I can. "I don't join in with the players because they are a bit too quick for me but I play in staff games. "And if I was being really objective, then I would pick myself every week!" The pencil-thin Frenchman still tips the scales at 75kg, exactly the same weight as when he first arrived at Arsenal in that ill-fitting suit all those years ago. He revealed: "You know, I didn't miss a single training session in 22 years. "I never stayed in my office. I am out there every day because I still enjoy that and I know it is something I will miss." It is an open secret that French billionaires Paris Saint-Germain are keen to make Wenger their new director of football. And that is not the only job offer he has received to work behind the scenes. "General manager?" he asked. "That is what I have to decide. "My spontaneous reaction is to remain in day-to-day management but maybe, with a bit of distance, I will think, 'No, perhaps it's time to change a little bit of direction'. "I honestly can't give you an answer at the moment because I don't know. "My relationship with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is more based on my work for his media company. "When he started his job with beIN Sports when he was a young boy, I was his first contact, his first signing. "That's why we have a good relationship and I was always with beIN. But that doesn't influence any decisions about my future. "I will continue to work for as long as I want to but I don't know how long that will be. "I have always liked the English saying 'you must live every day like it is your last'. "Because one day you will be right." Wenger has been personally touched by the news that his old sparring partner Sir Alex Ferguson is currently recuperating from emergency brain surgery. It is the fear of descending into old age and its subsequent health problems which continues to drive him forward rather than resting on his laurels. And while clearly he has his views on who should replace him at the Emirates, he is keeping his thoughts very much to himself. He insisted: "I know that all the names that have been mentioned are very competent but I don't want to come out publicly for any of them. "If I go for this or that one, it puts him under pressure straight away, so 2GM CITY v ARSENAL L Wednesday, May 9, 2018 ............... 7.45pm slide away MORE WORK...NOT PLAY THE OLD GUARD OLDEST 10 BOSSES IN TOP EURO LEAGUES 2017-18 Age (Including Championship) 73y it's better if I stay neutral. If the club wants my advice I'll give it to them and I'd recommend that they keep some of the current coaching staff. "But the people who come in will also want their own staff, so it's a matter of finding the right adjustment. "Personally, I always tried to have a local person like Pat Rice and Steve Bould, who know the culture, the habits and traditions of the club and make sure you don't make mistakes. "But that's not my decision. So like all other Arsenal fans I will wait until they've made the decision and then support the guy in doing well." When Wenger does finally clear his desk at Arsenal's training ground at London Colney on Saturday, he is not going to need a big lorry to help him move his belongings. He admitted: "My office is quite empty. I gave most things away so I will not have a lot to take out. "This has been a fantastic period for me but I always look forward rather than backwards. "So now I have to turn the page and go on for the next challenge."

And that's one of the reasons why he will pick the turf over the surf when he exits Arsenal. Luckily, he's still a splash hit in football. BACK IN THE DAY . . . Puel and boss Wenger training with Monaco in 1989 No more kickings, says Puel By GRAHAM HILL CLAUDE PUEL once feared for his future in the game — after kicking Arsene Wenger in training. Outgoing Arsenal boss Wenger managed the former midfielder at Monaco from 1987 to 1994. Current Leicester boss Puel — whose side host the Gunners tonight — said: "Arsene liked to play in smaller games in training. "One time the ball was between us and I touched the ball. "Behind the ball was Arsene and he flew up in the air, fell on his back and could not move. "The fitness coach took him to the dressing room and I was left with a bad feeling. "Other players were smiling and I was thinking I was finished and would not play in the future. "It wasn't a lack of respect but the intensity of the training. "Training sessions and matches, it was the same thing. "Quickly I played the next game, it was OK — Arsene will get a friendlier welcome tonight! I have a lot of respect for him." Puel's Foxes have lost four of their last five games and are without Marc Albrighton tonight. The midfielder missed Saturday's 2-0 defeat to West Ham for his red card at Crystal Palace — and yesterday accepted an FA misconduct charge, meaning his season is over. RUSSIA 2018 COUNTDOWN 36 DAYS TO GO WENG WANTED The Frenchman, 68, wants to continue working in football after 22 years as Gunners boss. And he revealed his shock at the amount of interest coming his way. Former Arsenal shareholder Farhad Moshiri is ready to match his £8million-a-year Gunners salary to make him Everton manager. And Wenger admitted: "Yes, I have already had some offers, more than I expected. "I haven't analysed or considered any of them yet because I am still focused on doing my job well until the last day of my Arsenal contract. "I will continue to be active. My brain demands work and I have a huge experience of football and 57 French champions Paris SaintGermain want Wenger as director of football and he has also been linked with a return to former club Monaco to replace Leonardo Jardim. As well as interest from China, there is the possibility of helping new Japan boss Akira Nishino at this summer's World Cup finals in Russia on a short-term appointment. And both Fifa and Uefa have been examining a role for him. Wenger added: "I don't want to go into detail on any offers, I have to think about them. "I like green grass and I like to walk on it every morning. "I don't know if I'll continue to do that but it's possible." THE World Cup trophy stands 36.8cm high. That is one centimetre taller than the previous Jules Rimet Cup (below) won outright by Brazil after securing a third tournament win in 1970. Designed by Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga and made in Milan, the current trophy was first won by West Germany in 1974 and is made of solid 18-carat gold. It weighs 6.1kg (13.54lb). This trophy cannot be won outright as the regulations state it shall remain Fifa's possession. The World Cup winners retain it until the next tournament and are awarded a replica that is gold plated rather than solid gold. 58 ............... Wednesday, May 9, 2018 2GM PREMIER LEAGUEE BLAME . . . Peter Coates BLIGHT From Back Page vowed to conduct "a major overhaul" into the way the crisis club is run after their Premier League relegation was confirmed last Saturday. Hughes was sacked on January 6, hours after the Potters had crashed out of the FA Cup to League Two Coventry. But the real damage had been done long before then with a string of disastrous signings. Hughes prided himself on his knack of being able to resurrect the careers of players who had lost their way, such as Marko Arnautovic and Bojan. But his most recent buys bombed as he blew a club-record £18.3million on Gianelli Imbula, £12m on Saido Berahino and £18m on Kevin Wimmer. Even on-loan striker Jese turned into an embarrassing disaster as he went AWOL in Spain and netted just once. At least he scored — Berahino clocked up TWO YEARS without a goal for West Brom and Stoke combined. Charlie Adam and Jack Butland have blasted the attitude of some of their Stoke team-mates. And in their statement, Peter and John Coates said: "Unfortunately the squad became unbalanced and perhaps we lost some of the core values that have served us so well and are so crucial when you have a bad spell. "It is absolutely clear that a major overhaul is required. We need to regain our identity and focus and the summer will be spent doing this." There was no mention of boss Paul Lambert's future at the club. No Khan do for FA By MARTIN LIPTON LONDON Mayor Sadiq Khan will try to block the sale of Wembley if he feels the deal is not right. Fulham owner Shahid Khan is ready to buy the National Stadium in an agreement worth £1billion. FA chairman Greg Clarke attempts today to persuade representatives of the amateur game that the deal is right for English football. But Sadiq, who is also demanding the return of £21m in tax-payers' money, will hold the FA to account at a meeting at the end of this week. The Mayor said: "If I'm not happy, I will make my views loud and clear — to the Government, the FA and Shahid Khan. "I will be using the bully-pit of being the Mayor to make sure we get the right deal for London. "Also, any monies the FA receives must be used on grassroots football." SWANSEA IT'S GABBI Forget hotel... Manolo 'n Co are Premier in By NEIL ASHTON CHIEF FOOTBALL REPORTER SOUTHAMPTON have been given a clean bill of health. Swapping team hotels before the game because of the threat of a virus, they are now over the worst of it. And their spirit must be catching because substitute Manolo Gabbiadini rediscovered his best form to win this for Southampton after 72 chaotic minutes at the Liberty. Saints, dead and buried a month ago, are on the verge of safety. The wild celebrations at full-time are a bit premature but it will take a remarkable set of results on "Survival Sunday" to relegate them now. That looks instead like Swansea's fate. Carlos Carvalhal, their rent-ajoke manager, is about to take them down after this appalling display. The last laugh is on him now. Carvalhal did not seem to understand the significance of losing to Southampton with a game left. They face relegated Stoke here on Sunday at 3pm, a fixture they will get used to playing when both clubs are in the Championship next season. Victory for Southampton, their second in three super-tense Premier League fixtures, takes them three points clear of Swansea. Even if they are battered by Manchester City at St Mary's on Sunday, their goal difference gives them a huge advantage over Swansea. There is only one place in the bottom three to be decided and Swansea seem hell-bent on taking it. To play like this in front of their own fans, to fail to put Alex McCarthy's goal under serious threat at any stage, is lamentable. They lacked guts and goals. For Swansea to go down — after beating Liverpool and Arsenal in successive home games at the start of the year — is beyond shameful. Southampton will not be sorry to see them go. The celebrations in the visiting dressing room, with whooping and hollering bouncing down the corridor before they started banging the floor with their studs, was deafening. Then came the boom box, with 5 Chase the Sun by Planet Funk — the song synonymous with darts — being played at full blast. Well, Southampton hit a 180 here. Gabbiadini only came off the bench after Saints defender Jan Bednarek was KO'd by his own keeper McCarthy on 67 minutes. But five minutes later the Italian striker looked razor sharp when he sniffed out the winner. Dusan Tadic slung in the corner, with Oriel Romeu and Charlie Austin first to challenge inside the area. When it fell to Gabbiadini, he stabbed it past Lukasz Fabianski with the help of a couple of deflections. Beyond that it was bedlam. Southampton's raucous fans knew the score, with the winning goal MANOLO GABBIADINI'S goal was only his fifth in his last 41 games for Southampton in all competitions — one fewer than he managed in his first four games for Saints. MOST PASSES almost securing their Premier League status for another year. It is a massive result. It was a massive goal. And Southampton deserved it because they showed so much composure on such a big night. Some, like Swansea, crumble. Others, like Saints boss Mark Hughes, are made of the tough stuff — the determination and bloody-mindedness to make a difference in games like this. He was livid before the game, slagging off the local Marriott Hotel Alfie Mawson (Swansea) Kyle Naughton (Swansea) Pierre Hojbjerg (Southampton) Federico Fernandez (Swansea) because they had turfed Southampton out.

The Saints defender certainly touched it but referee Michael Oliver made the right call.

Swansea's fans demanded improvements, with Carvalhal finally caving in when he sent for Tammy Abraham. Nothing worked.

The Etihad is ready to give an emotional send-off to the £24million signing from Barcelona as he captains the team in tonight's clash with Brighton. His love for the club runs deep but he is determined to stay in the Premier League. He added: "I'm a competitor and a big fan of the Gladiator movie. If I go up against City I'd have to win but I'd never celebrate a goal against them. "I want to stay in England because of my family. For me, they are British. I brought them here when they were three. Now, they are nearly the same size as you guys. "They have friends here. Manchester is their town." Toure's agent Dimitri Seluk added: "He's happy to accept a one-year deal.

MEMO TO CITY CATERING STAFF (1992-present) Rickie Lambert ( Yet tonight there will be a big knees-up as City say a fond farewell to one of their greatest ever players. He is expected to lead the team out against Brighton — with boss Pep Guardiola promising him he can play where he wants. A presentation is planned after the game, while a pitch over the road at the City Football Academy will be renamed after the midfielder. And Toure, who is 35 on Sunday, has warned his team-mates they cannot spoil it for him. Guardiola said: "Without doubt he was one of the most important players in our history. "We will give him what he deserves. One of the most beautiful farewells a player can receive." City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: "The word 'legend' can often be misapplied. "But in describing Yaya's status as a City player, there is no more appropriate a term. He is a very special footballer." Toure leaves with his place in club folklore guaranteed — with three league title medals and four domestic cups to his name. Who could have predicted that when he signed in summer 2010? The former Barcelona star said: "The club has changed a lot. But it's been my pleasure. I feel like I have contributed to something." In fact, few have contributed more than him. Quite simply, he has been a colossus for City for much of his eight-year stay. Yet controversy never seems to have been far away — often thanks to his madcap agent Dimitri Seluk. His brilliance on the pitch has regularly gone hand-in-hand with chaos off it. Former director of football Brian Marwood pulled off a major coup when he landed Toure and David Silva in the space of two days back in June 2010. Eyebrows were raised about the £24million fee paid to Barca and the reported £240,000 a week wages. But Toure quickly established himself as a City icon. His 2011 Wembley winner in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United was a pivotal and unforgettable moment in City's rise to the top. And Yaya recalled: "To win that was brilliant, awesome. It was one of my biggest moments." 69 62 48 48 48 PREM PENALTY SUCCESS RATE the club's owners had shown his on disrespect him birthday by their lack of celebrations and by ignoring him on the day. Frozen out by new boss Pep Guardiola in 2016 and even left out of the Champions League squad, with Seluk claiming his client had been "humiliated". Guardiola then demands an apology from the midfielder — which he finally received from troubled Toure in November. Back in summer 2014, Manchester City's title celebrations in Abu Dhabi were famously rocked by the Ivorian, who was unhappy his 31st birthday had not been properly acknowledged by the club. Eden Hazard YAYA TOURE David Silva Juan Mata Frank Lampard 8pm Not only that, he followed it up with the winner in the final against Stoke — ending City's 35-year wait for a trophy. Twelve months later, his two late goals at Newcastle in the penultimate game of that season set things up perfectly for THAT game against QPR. But in March 2013, Seluk was up to his old tricks when he grumbled there were not enough posters of his client around the stadium. He also suggested the Toure replica shirts were not prominent enough around the club shop. While it left many at City scratching their heads, his player soon got the new deal he wanted. And thank goodness for the club that he did, as Toure was outstanding in the Premier League title triumph of 2013-4. And he also scored a wonder goal in the Capital One Cup final win over Sunderland at IT'S PITCH Wembley — once again digging PERFECT . . . tribute his team out of a hole. Yet before long, there was to Yaya at trouble brewing. Just days after Academy the squad returned from their title celebrations in Abu Dhabi, the birthday cake saga erupted. Once again it was sorted out and he went on to lift more silverware. In the 2016 League Cup final win over Liverpool, it was Toure — who else? — who stroked home the winning penalty in the shootout. Soon after his old Nou Camp boss Pep arrived, there was another storm as Seluk suggested Toure had been left 'humiliated'. The Ivorian had played just once for the club in the opening weeks of the season — and the new boss said he would not play again until he received an apology. That duly arrived in November 2016 and, typically, Toure marked his return by scoring both in the win at Crystal Palace. He was a key player for the rest of Pep's first season, earning a new one-year deal. Perhaps, with hindsight, he should have gone then. He has not started a league game this season, although his nine sub appearances ensure he gets a medal. But it was no surprise to anyone when Guardiola confirmed on Friday that Yaya would be leaving in the summer. Finally, his City curtain call has arrived and he will bow out on Sunday at Southampton. How ironic that it should also be his birthday. Toure, 34, smiled: "Yes, after May 13 — which is going to be my birthday again — I will be free. "But it's going to be good and it's going to be sad because I'm going to miss the fans a lot." And you can be sure City will miss Yaya too.

The Ivory Coast enforcer bids farewell to Etihad fans tonight after winning three Prem titles, two League Cups and the FA Cup since joining from Barcelona in 2010. Hughton said: "When individuals look back at the great players of Manchester City, he has certainly been one of them. "Someone will not play to allow him to play against us — but he's not a bad player to bring in, is he?" Hughton might hope Kevin de Bruyne will be the man left out. He rates the Belgian the Premier League's best player — even though he was pipped to two Footballer of the Year awards by Liverpool's Mo Salah. The Seagulls chief added: "De Bruyne is the more complete player and it's taken an exceptional season from Salah to win it. "The progress De Bruyne has made is huge. He could play for any team in the world." Brighton have stayed up despite taking just 11 points on the road — yet they have not lost an away game by more than two goals. They face champions City tonight and Champions League finalists Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. And Hughton said: "If there are two places where that record will come under threat more than anywhere, it's these two." HUGHTON . . . praise 4 ...............

The France international, 31, left Newcastle in 2015 having scored 14 goals in 86 appearances and is now at Paris Saint-Germain.

The unnamed whistler fumed: "Ben Arfa is a terrible crybaby, who spends his time appealing and moaning. "When he loses the ball there is no way it can be his fault. He even gives his teammates abuse. "He is truly a kid who has been spoiled rotten, who whinges when he doesn't get what he wants."

With Adolf Hitler, Karl Marx, Che Guevara and Benito Mussolini plastered across various bottles of plonk it's a boozer's dream team with the left and right wings well covered. Shame England only has Theresa May to offer in the No 10 role. But perhaps the most extraordinary accolade which Goldenballs can now boast is that he sent mild-mannered Sir Trevor Brooking "wild" in the process. When Motty's life behind the mic comes to an end on Sunday he will have called more than 2,000 games, including ten World Cup finals and 29 FA Cup finals. And of all the goals he has described, he picked out the 1996 Becks strike against Wimbledon, which announced a new star to the world, and the one in 2001, which stopped the world falling in on English football. Motty said: "David Beckham times two, really — the goal from the halfway line and the match-saver against Greece. "That second one was probably the most dramatic because it came right at the end of the game. England went to the World Cup because of that. "It was a very emotional goal. I remember I knocked nearly everything off my desk on the gantry when he scored that. "We went wild, Trevor Brooking and I." The image of Sir Trev losing the plot is hard to picture, but generations of fans have had their football lives soundtracked by the excited, delighted tones of Motson. Some preferred his more reserved former BBC colleague Barry Davies. But when the pair were going head-to-head for the biggest assignments, it was Motson who came out on top most often. He said: "We are still on very good terms. I had a good luck message from him only the other day. There was no personal animosity. "It was just two guys, very different in their approach and style, competing to get the No 1 job. "I was a bit bull at a gate and full of gushing enthusiasm. Barry was a little bit more restrained and had a better vocabulary than I did. "He took a slightly more detached view on things probably. "Somebody once said, 'Barry commentates from the grandstand and John's talking from the terraces'. "That's what one of our heads of sport said and I think that summed it up really." Although Motson saw off Davies, who retired in 2004, even he cannot outrun time. He will turn 73 in July and, having announced at the start of the season that this would be his last, will call it a day after this weekend's final round of Premier League games. The BBC will celebrate Motty's life in football with a special evening of shows on BBC2 on May 19. It will be a great opportunity to relive some of his most famous moments, starting with that career-changing 1972 Ronnie Radford goal for Hereford against Newcastle in his first season as a television commentator. But for all his longevity, there is no "good old days" nonsense about Motty. He said: "The game is much better now. The players are fitter and more athletic and the game is faster. There's more interchanging of positions. "When I started, everybody was one to 11 and we all knew that the right-back would MyVIEW "LOOK at that…ohhh, look at that."

In the 80s we had Heysel and the Bradford fire and hooliganism and then Hillsborough. "Football wasn't sexy any more, it wasn't popular really. I remember it going off television for half a season.

If one of my bits of research made it through MOTD statistician Albert Sewell and into the show, it was a huge thrill, even in such a small way. So it's no wonder Motty has loved being such a big part of the lives of generations of football fans. television. So much has changed and even he admitted he cannot keep up with every live game now. Motson said: "Players come into a ground now shepherded by security and with headphones on and you don't get the chance to interact with them like I did in the 70s." Despite all that, Motty is overwhelmingly positive about the modern game, including the growing number of female commentators. He said: "I think it's excellent.

But none, man or woman, will play as central a role in people's lives as Motty has. He will miss football and football will miss him. He added: "I still love doing it and I have right up to the present time. "Jaundiced? I've never been that, even in those dark days in the 80s when we were worried about the future of football. I never lost my faith in the game. "I've never lost my enthusiasm. Up to and including my final match on Sunday, I shall be giving it my all."

Southampton and Swansea can still catch them, with the Yorkshire side's -29 goal difference looking ominous if they lose both games. But boss Wagner is in no doubt about where avoiding the drop would rank. The German (right), 46, said: "If we stay up, it will be like we've won the title. "It will go down to Sunday to make things mathematically certain. "I've expected it for a long, long time. "I won't be happy if they don't find a third team to finish behind us but I'll be very, very happy if they DO find another team." Terriers' fans certainly have belief, with 16 coach- QUID, thanks to sponsors subsidising the cost. The prospect of ending the season against two of the top-flight's big hitters is not daunting to Wagner after Sunday's goalless draw at champs Manchester City. He added: "We don't have to lie and make the task smaller than it is. "It's one of the biggest challenges you can face. "It's Chelsea, the former champions. With every day, it becomes more exciting. "We need more points. It doesn't get tougher but we wanted to be part of it." I'll be the next Great Dane SCHMEICHEL IS LOSSL'S HERO SONSHINES . . .

Gray in demand SIMON GRAYSON will make an instant return to management with either Barnsley or Scunthorpe. The 48-year-old is wanted by both clubs after quitting Bradford. The Tykes are targeting a firsttime return to the Championship — and Grayson (right) has won four promotions to the division. But they face competition from Scunny, who made the play-offs with an eight-game unbeaten run under caretaker boss Nick Daws. EXCLUSIVE By MARTIN BLACKBURN JONAS LOSSL aims to follow in the footsteps of his countryman Peter Schmeichel by becoming a Premier League institution. Lossl wants to be next Great Dane — dropping down to Championship is not of his plans. the and the part The Huddersfield keeper agreed a permanent deal at the John Smith's Stadium recently after impressing for David Wagner's men. And he is doing his bit to ensure the Terriers stay in the top-flight, keeping a clean sheet against free-scoring champions Manchester City on Sunday. Next for the 29-year-old is the small matter of Chelsea tonight and Arsenal on the final day. He may never boast a CV like Schmeichel's but he is still keen to make his mark. The former Mainz stopper said: "Nobody needs to put words into my mouth about following Peter. "It would be fantastic to play in the Premier League for years to come like he did and show what I can do. "Peter was a great keeper, he had a fantastic career — as has his lad Kasper. "I am just very happy I am here and have a permanent deal with Huddersfield. "Hopefully we can have more seasons in the Premier League because it has always been the biggest ambition for me. It has always stood top." Lossl is likely to be working with Leicester's Kasper at the World Cup in a few weeks' time but cannot afford to think about that yet. Last weekend he became the first keeper to stop City scoring in a Premier League game at the Etihad since Manchester United's David De Gea more than a year ago. And he will need more of the same if Huddersfield are to pull off their great escape. He said: "The only thing on my mind right now is Chelsea and Arsenal. I've never had fear of facing those teams, but respect — and I still have that. "What we did against City was amazing. We fought for everything and kept them out. "It was a massive point. Now we have to do it again. "When we go in with the right attitude, the right momentum and right plan, we're a very strong team." Chelsea themselves need a win — and a Liverpool or Tottenham slip-up — to keep Terriers in for El of a battle By VIC HOLLY HUDDERSFIELD are set to fight it out for Basel ace Mohamed Elyounoussi. Arsenal, Southampton and Leicester are also keen on the £18millionrated Norway winger, who helped his side to the Swiss double last season. David Wagner's Terriers are closing on top-flight safety and the Moroccoborn star (right) is eyeing a switch after Basel failed to defend their title this term. Elyounoussi — under contract until 2021 — scored twice in Sunday's 4-2 win at St Gallen. He said: "I'm hungry to show what I can do. I could make a move this summer. "Mo Salah inspires me. He is one of several players to do well after leaving Basel. "Could I move to an English club? It depends on who comes in for me." PACKS A PUNCH . . . Huddersfield keeper Jonas Lossl clears the ball against Watford alive their faint hopes of reaching the top four. Lossl and manager Wagner have promised they will make life as difficult as they can — just as they did at City's title party. The keeper added: "As the coach would say, we are an uncomfortable team to play. We have shown that against the big teams. "We know we are not going to dominate a team like that — but we do what we do. "When I talked to David the first time he explained what we are about. "We knew we were going to be the smallest team in the league, but we had to be the best team, together, and in a lot of games we have shown how strong we are." Lossl's first target of earning a permanent move to West Yorkshire was realised this spring. A deal was agreed with his club back in Germany for him to become a Town player from July 1. With that ticked off he has one more aim to achieve by Sunday evening. He added: "When I came on loan, I wanted to play well and stay. "I signed last month and that was my goal. It's a big boost for me. I feel I've done well. If, and when, we reach our target of staying in the Premier League I will be very, very proud." Then his attention will quickly shift to the World Cup where he is expected to be part of Age Hareide's squad. His aim there will be to put pressure on Schmeichel Jr — and maybe even get a taste of action himself. He said: "My main mission is to take the form from this season and to push Kasper. I need to do that for him to perform well, but also to get the chance to play myself. "It would be a dream to play in the World Cup but the only thing on my mind now is keeping Huddersfield Town up."

And Everton risk a price hike, and more competition, if he impresses in Russia. 7 8 ............... Wednesday, May 9, 2018 1GG GOALS Robson documentary JOY . . .

Full terms at sunbets.co.uk 18+ By BEN HUNT HE was the man who inspired the managers of Manchester wait for the gates to open. He failed City and Manchester United. According to Gary Lineker, he is "the best English manager of all time" and Alan Shearer credits him with saving his football career. Now Sir Bobby Robson's life is portrayed on the big screen in a film that charts his rise from the coal-mining village of Langley Park, through his football career, his sterling charity work and his lengthy battle against cancer. Robson nurtured the careers of some of the game's best talents, from Lineker and Shearer to Brazil ace Ronaldo and Paul Gascoigne. And it is that relationship with Gazza which stands out in Bobby Robson: More Than A Manager. In the film, ex-England star Gazza says: "He was a father figure. He was phenomenal for me. Under Sir Bobby, I knew I was safe. "I would put him alongside Muhammad Ali in football terms. He was more than a manager." Gascoigne's relationship with fellow Geordie Robson started ahead of the 1990 World Cup, which ended with the midfielder in tears after England's semi-final loss on penalties to West Germany. Their connection remained long after Robson ceased being Gazza's international manager, as he would frequently send people to check on his former player's well-being. Lineker (above) says: "The relationship between Bobby and Gazza was extraordinary. A lot of joy and a lot of love — but also a lot of frustration and tellings-off." Interviews, home videos and match footage are pieced together and stars he managed deliver a fascinating insight into his career. On his childhood, Robson recalls how he and his father never missed a first-team game and would turn up at St James' Park three hours before kick-off and to break through at Newcastle as a youngster but signed for Fulham, where he played over 300 games. He won 20 England caps and scored four goals but it is his achievements as a manager for which he is remembered. At Ipswich he won the 1978 FA Cup and the 1981 Uefa Cup. He got the England job in 1982 and took the team to the '86 World Cup where Diego Maradona's Hand of God goal knocked them out. His England exit features heavily, as does his time at Barcelona. He made Jose Mourinho his assistant at Barca and the United boss speaks highly of him. Robson also recruited Ronaldo from PSV and he scored a clubrecord 47 goals in a season. Ronaldo recalls: "I was playing my best with people I loved. He trusted me a lot and that was everything I wanted." But Robson's time in Spain was overshadowed by a boardroom battle over bringing in Louis van Gaal. Pep Guardiola, a Barca player at the time, praised the way he coped with it. The City boss says: "It's not easy to manage Barcelona, especially in that period. I learned when I saw him how lonely the manager feels. "And in the bad moments he was always there with a typical smile." It is revealed Robson turned down Newcastle before later being persuaded to take over following the turbulent reign of Ruud Gullit. Shearer said: "He saved Newcastle and he saved my career." A year after his death from lung cancer in 2009, Robson's foundation had raised in excess of £2.5m. His legacy ensures he is still changing people's lives long after his own has ended. BOBBY ROBSON: More Than A Manager is out at select theatres on June 1. Now available to pre-order.
