Jamie Carragher has been axed from his Champions League TV pundit role tomorrow night after he was filmed spitting at a 14-year-old girl. The former Liverpool and England star was due to be working for Danish channel TV3 Sport and cover the match between Manchester United and Sevilla.

But they have pulled the 40-year-old from their line-up as Sky Sports bosses hold crunch talks to decide whether he should present Monday Night Football this evening.

Carragher arrived in London this morning as his £1million-a-year pundit jobs hangs in the balance and claims he 'did not see' the schoolgirl before he spat from the window of his Range Rover. She was left in tears after his saliva hit her in the face and said he should have 'taken it as a joke' when her father shouted '2-1, 2-1, unlucky Jamie lad, 2-1 lad' following Liverpool's loss to Manchester United on Saturday.

Carragher, who is worth around £15million, said today: 'I'll speak to the family again. I'm sorry. I'll apologise again today properly.

'I didn't (see the girl), to be honest, she was leant back. I wish she wasn't involved. I hate that she was involved more than anything.'

The unnamed girl told the Mirror: 'I have never been spat at by anyone before. I thought, "Why has he done that". I thought I had done something wrong.

'People in school take the mick and it is just a laugh. Someone like him who is older should be able to take a joke.

Her 38-year-old mother was 'extremely angry' and said that what Carragher did was the 'lowest of the low'.

Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria. The main reservoir for Brucella species is animals. The most common species are usually associated with cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and rarely dogs.

In the acute form of illness (less than 8 weeks from illness onset), nonspecific and "flu-like" symptoms may include:

fever
sweats
malaise
anorexia
headache
myalgia
back pain

In the undulant form of illness (less than 1 year from illness onset), symptoms may include:

undulant fevers
arthritis
epididymo-orchitis in males

In Arizona the most common risk factor is consumption of unpasteurized milk, milk products or cheese.

Arizona 5 year median: 1 case

Transmission

Contact with tissues, blood, urine, vaginal discharges, aborted fetuses and especially placentas, and by ingestion of raw, unpasteurized milk and dairy products from infected animals.

Airborne infection of animals occurs in pens and stables, and of humans in laboratories and abattoirs.

Brucella is rarely transmitted from person-to-person.

Mothers may transmit the infection to their infants congenitally or through breast-feeding.

Sexual transmission has also been reported.

Although uncommon, transmission may also occur via contaminated tissue transplantation.

There are many kinds of cancer which can affect the eyes. The most common ones are lymphoma; eye melanoma; retinoblastoma (which is a childhood cancer); and squamous cell carcinoma. At times, cancer of the eyes can develop in the tissues that surround the eyeball. It may even spread from the eyes to the different parts of the body. The symptoms of eye cancer are quite easy to identify unlike other types of cancer. Here the symptoms only show up during the more advanced stages of the disease.

But since there are different types of cancer of the eye, some of them are easier to discover than others. This is because some have more obvious and common symptoms. Some are obscure, and some don’t even have symptoms. This is why it’s very important to have regular eye examinations. It does checks that if everything is alright. People who have this type of cancer may experience some or all these symptoms while others won’t. Either way, it would be very helpful for you to learn about the symptoms in case you experience any of them. Then you would be able to have your eyes checked at the early stage. Hence, it catches the disease or illness early.

1. Blurring of the Vision

2. Spots or Flashes in the Field of Vision 3. Partial or Full Loss of Sight.

4. Pain Around or In the Eye

5. Bulging of the Eye

6. Change in the Appearance of the Eye 7. A New Spot in the Eye. 8. A Lump on the Eyelid or in the Eye

9. Excessive Tearing or Bloody Tears

10. Loss of Eyelashes or a Sty Which Doesn’t Heal

A police chief has called for cannabis to be sold in off-licenses and heroin and cocaine to be available on prescription, claiming the war on drugs has failed. North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Arfon Jones thinks trying to prohibit drugs is a waste of police time and kills people unnecessarily.

The former police officer and Plaid Cymru member sees no reason why cannabis shouldn't be sold in the same way as alcoholic - over the counter in licensed shops.

But Mr Jones, who has appealed to MPs at Westminster to legalise narcotics, thinks hard drugs like heroin and cocaine should only be available on prescription from pharmacies.

'A lot of the problems around drugs are caused by prohibition and strong enforcement. It just doesn't work,' he told the Daily Post Wales.

'I think prohibition kills a lot of people unnecessarily and if we did regulate, we could divert police resources towards harmful behaviours like child sexual exploitation, domestic abuse and modern slavery.

'Prosecution for minor possession of drugs is a waste of time.'

He added: 'I want to see drugs controlled and sold by responsible retailers similar to off-licences that sell alcohol.

'I don't see a difference between the use of alcohol and the use of cannabis.

'If we went back to day one, and we were legislating this again I'm sure people would realise that alcohol causes a lot more harm than cannabis does and I think the categorisation would reflect that.

'But we are where we are, alcohol is legal and cannabis is illegal and it is illogical to have it like that

'Hard drugs like cocaine and heroin could be sold or prescribed from a secure pharmacy.

'But I think cannabis could be sold with the same level of security as alcohol is sold at now in an off-licence

'This would be with suitable age restrictions to prevent children buying it which is something we do not have now.

Many men might find the idea of visiting the doctor to get a fertility test too awkward or embarrassing to contemplate – and that's where a new microscopic camera, designed to attach to most modern smartphones, can help. A short video recorded using the device is enough for a specialist to check how lively a person's sperm are, making for a cheap and easy diagnostic aid that saves a trip to the clinic.

The lens has been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC) and is less than a millimetre thick. Once clipped to a smartphone camera, it magnifies the image by 555 times, which is enough to spot individual sperm cells.

From that video clip, a doctor can spot potential fertility problems, including a low sperm count or sluggish sperm – issues that may have otherwise gone undetected, whether through a reluctance to get checked or a lack of local healthcare options. The device works by recording a small amount of semen,

which needs to be placed on a plastic sheet around five minutes after ejaculation: the camera is pressed up to the sample to record it, while apparently keeping the phone itself semen-free (probably for the best if you want to keep on using it to Snapchat and catch Pokémon).

A 3-second clip is enough for an expert to gauge the numbers of sperm and check how well they're moving, though it's not possible to fully assess the ability of the sperm to fertilise an egg – as it's just a basic assessment designed to spot the most obvious potential problems.

Sperm magnets' may increase pregnancy prospects for couples undergoing IVF by up to 10 per cent, experts claim. Used prior to IVF, the treatment, known as magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS), involves using magnets that attract old, deformed semen that would unlikely survive to the stage of egg fertilisation.

Women can then exclusively be given this 'healthy' sperm, which boosts their chances of conceiving.

Since being used in the IVF Cube in Prague, MACS has already helped two women become pregnant, while eight are awaiting the results of their treatment.

Dr Hana Visnova, medical director at the clinic, told MailOnline: 'I am confident that it can deliver between a five and 10 per cent improved chance of bringing about a successful pregnancy.'

Previous research suggests around 20 per cent of sperm taken from semen samples from infertile men are aged or deformed.

Studies also imply MACS eliminates between 15 and 20 per cent of sperm with broken DNA, while improving the overall amount of healthy swimmers by 10-to-15 per cent.

Infertility affects around 11 per cent of women and nine per cent of men of a reproductive age in the US. Around one in seven couples in the UK struggle to conceive.

An 11-year-old girl has tragically died after being struck by a wheel which came off a passing car.

Amelia Wood was killed after being hit from behind. The front nearside wheel of the Discovery came off the vehicle at around 8am on Tuesday.

The tragic incident took place in Manby and the young girl, despite being taken to Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, died. The Year 7 schoolgirl's pupils and teachers organised special assemblies today.

They were led by principals of the schools and a specialist family liaison officer from Lincolnshire Police with support from pastoral teams. Lincolnshire Police are continuing their investigation into the collision between the loose wheel and the girl as she walked from her home towards Manby crossroads and this morning released a statement on behalf of the schoolgirl's family and included a photograph.

A forensic examination is being undertaken into the modified vehicle with its 33in wheels,

These are the mugshots of Britain First's leader and deputy leader after they were jailed for 18 and 36 weeks respectively on charges of religiously-aggravated harassment. Paul Golding, 36, was found guilty of one charge of religiously-aggravated harassment and Jayda Fransen three counts of the same offence in relation to an incident in Kent.

They were arrested last May as part of a probe into the distribution of leaflets and online videos posted during a trial at Canterbury Crown Court during the trial of three Muslim men and a teenager later jailed for raping a 16-year-old in a flat above a takeaway.

Restaurant owner Tamin Rahmani, 38, of Northwood Road in Ramsgate, takeaway workers Shershah Muslimyar, 21, of Hovenden Close in Canterbury, Raffiullah Hamid,24 of no fixed abode and a boy from Ashfield who cannot be named for legal reasons were later found guilty and jailed for a total of 49 years in prison for the crime.

Both Fransen and Golding were convicted on a joint charge of religiously aggravated harassment after an incident on May 5 at 555 Pizza takeaway in Ramsgate, Kent, last year.

On May 9 Fransen visited an address in Gwynn Road in Ramsgate, on the understanding Tamin Rahmani lived there.

Kelli Best, who lived there, told the court she heard banging, rattling of the door handle and recognised Fransen.

She said Fransen was making racist remarks directed to Tamin and it made her feel very anxious and her children were scared.

Judge Justin Barron said the duo's words and actions 'demonstrated hostility' towards Muslims and the faith of Islam.

Humanity would be virtually powerless to stop the spread of a killer flu virus that could take 33 million lives in just 200 days, experts have warned. Professor Robert Dingwall, a flu expert, said that covering your mouth when you sneeze and washing your hands are the most effective ways to stop the virus spreading - but even these measures are unlikely to be enough.

His warning comes after Dr Jonathan Quick, Chair of the Global Health Council, warned that a deadly flu mutation could take place any day and prove to be the deadliest pandemic in human history. 'People tried in 2009 with screening at airports but it doesn't work because people are infectious for around four days before they get symptoms.

'There is a very limited amount you can do, there's personal hygiene measures, washing your hands and trying to avoid putting your hands on contaminated surfaces in public then in your mouth.

'But frankly, you're just as likely to catch it from passing a person in the street who's sneezed.' 'The big one is coming: a global virus pandemic that could kill 33 million victims in its first 200 days,' he wrote on Tuesday.

'Within the ensuing two years, more than 300 million people could perish worldwide.

'At the extreme, with disrupted supply of food and medicines and without enough survivors to run computer or energy systems, the global economy would collapse. Starvation and looting could lay waste to parts of the world.'

The unequal distribution of the gains of Fairtrade (FT) derives in a large part from the characteristics of certification. The certification system presents a twofold bias against the poorest developing countries.

First, there are considerations related to the costs of certification. These being the same everywhere, they are relatively more expensive for the most disadvantaged countries, all other things being equal. Then, due to its sliding-scale price structure, certification is less costly for large producer organisations than for smaller ones.

Finally, the cost of compliance with FT standards (changes in agricultural and administrative practices that often lead to an increase in working hours) is higher for small organisations due to their lower productivity and lower economies of scale. FT no doubt helps poor and vulnerable producers, but it certainly is not at the service of the poorest.

Effective certification demand is positively correlated to country income. Countries ranked by the World Bank as upper middle-income account for 54% of producer organisations having received FT certification against 21% in the case of low-income countries.

As for least developed countries (LDCs), they only account for 13.5% of effective certification demand. Whatever definition of poverty and economic vulnerability is used, the conclusion is the same: FT tends to exclude the poorest countries.

Some argue that in rich countries such as Mexico, there are huge social and economic inequalities as a result of which some populations find themselves in a situation of extreme poverty. This is undeniable, but not convincing. First, this argument does not explain why within these inegalitarian countries, the least poor groups are generally selected by FT.

Then, the criterion used to justify which nations deserve to enter the FT system is contradictory. France, for example, is a very rich country. Yet it has many poor workers and farmers.

So why not promote FT in France, as some have argued, or in the US or UK? FT protagonists will argue that these countries can tackle their own problems, as they have the means to do so. But this is also the case of Mexico and of the richest developing countries. Better still, differences in income between France and Mexico are much less pronounced than between Mexico and LDCs.

If we choose to favour Mexico over France based on the need criterion, the same logic should mean favouring the poorest countries at the expense of wealthier developing countries.
