UK's biggest supergrass 'hunted for life' after 29 gangland villains jailed for 250 years

BBC Breakfast descended into chaos on Wednesday morning (February 16) as one star's phone went off right in the middle of an interview.Hosts Jon Kay and Nina Warhurst were once again replacing regular Monday-Wednesday presenters Dan Walker and Sally Nugent, and chatting to UK citizen Stuart McKenzie - who had lived in the Ukraine for 28 years - via video link.Also joining them in the studio was Petro Rewko, a member of the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain.But things in the studio soon went belly-up.Jon asked Stuart: "So Stuart, we'll start with you. Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself and how you came to be in the Ukraine?"He replied: "I came to Ukraine in 1994 for business opportunities..."As Stuart began talking Jon and Sally through his background, his phone began to ring off-screen - but, like a true professional, he ignored the call and carried on talking.However, the incessant noise was clearly affecting Jon Kay, who soon suspended the interview entirely to turn to Petro.He quipped: "We'll come back to you in a minute.

Real Madrid failed to show any ambition whatsoever in their 1-0 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday night.PSG will take a one-goal advantage into the second leg of the last-16 tie in Madrid after Kylian Mbappe scored a dramatic winner in the 94th minute at the Parc des Princes.Mbappe’s goal proved decisive after Thibaut Courtois produced an impressive save to deny Lionel Messi from the penalty spot in the second half.The 23-year-old striker, who is out of contract with PSG in July and strongly-linked with a move to Real, was the clear star of the show.He collected Neymar’s back-heel on the left wing and skipped in between two Real defenders before slotting underneath Courtois via a slight deflection off Fede Valverde.His 22nd goal of the season – and second consecutive late winner following a 93rd-minute striker against Rennes on Friday – was well deserved.Mauricio Pochettino's side completely dominated the game, firing in 21 shots – eight of which were on target, for an expected goals tally of 1.87 – from their 57 per cent possession.By contrast, Real attempted just three shots in total and did not force Gianluigi Donnarumma into making a single save.HAVE YOUR SAY! Which team will make it through to the quarter-finals? Comment below.Their efforts translated into a measly expected goals tally of 0.14, while they only managed to win one corner and produced just four counter attacks all game.With the away goals rule abolished from Champions League knockout ties, Real manager Carlo Ancelotti appeared happy to settle for a goalless draw from the outset.However, Mbappe’s late impact means they will start with a disadvantage in the second leg at the Bernabeu on March 9.Want to be on the ball with

New Zealand has voted to protect LGBTQ youth from so-called “conversion therapy.”In an almost unanimous vote, the New Zealand Parliament voted 112 to eight in favour of banning the controversial  practice. So-called “conversion therapy” is the discredited and dangerous practice that is intended to change, often by force, a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity and expression. The New Zealand Herald reported that it is now an offence to “perform conversion practices on a child or young person aged under 18, or on someone with impaired decision-making capacity. Such offences would be subject to up to three years’ imprisonment, and up to five years where it has caused serious harm, irrespective of age.”Leader of End Conversion Therapy NZ Shaneel Lal tweeted, “The ban on conversion therapy is a win for humanity, not just the queer community.

Jessica Kiang In a valley in the Swiss canton of Bern dominated by the local watchmaking industry, the first ever International Anarchist Congress was held in 1872.

rescued a clumsy fox who found herself in a tight spot after she got a watering can stuck on her head.Animal rescue officer Natalie Read was called out to Braiswick, in Colchester, Essex, on Friday (11 February) after a man spotted the stricken animal in his garden.Describing how she set the urban fox free after finding it in a panicked state, Natalie said: “The caller said the poor fox had the plastic watering can stuck on her head and was thrashing around trying to get it off; she was clearly distressed.“She’d wedged herself between fencing at the bottom of the garden and must have been exhausted because I was able to catch her easily and carefully prise the can off of her head."Thankfully she wasn’t injured and she was raring to go so I released her and she bounded off back into the safety of the undergrowth. It was lovely to see her running back to her den."Natalie suspects that the animal got the watering can wedged on her head when she peered in to find out whether there was anything to eat or drink inside.She added that the fox was "lucky to be spotted and rescued so quickly" because she "could have suffered serious cuts and injuries to her head" or "may have even died if she’d have been left like that".Anyone who sees a sick, injured or trapped wild animal in need of help is advised to keep a safe distance and monitor, before calling the RSPCA’s emergency hotline for advice on 0300 1234 999.

trials, the witness, who will now be a target for life, gave crucial evidence against the defendants.One of the criminals he helped put away was a gang boss from the Balkans who masterminded the smuggling of millions of pounds worth of cocaine into the UK from Brazil.His role, reminiscent of Ray Liotta's FBI informant Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese's mobster movie Goodfellas, can be reported today after he and his family were given protective custody. The informant was a cocaine dealer who fell out with his associates and was kidnapped and tortured over debts he owed before he decided to give evidence.
