Vladimir Putin is gearing up for a 'hot war' he doesn't want - but will not back down if he provoked over Syria, Britain's former ambassador to Moscow has warned.

While Russia 'means business' having sent warships past British shores and displayed its military might, Moscow is 'weak' and does not want a war, Sir Brenton said.

'I've never had phenomenal fans like Man Utd' - Mourinho in sly dig at Chelsea fans?

Jose Mourinho appears to have aimed a sly dig at Chelsea fans following Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Manchester City in the fourth round of the EFL Cup.
The Red Devils booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the competition with a 1-0 win at Old Trafford, courtesy of Juan Mata’s second-half strike.
The result was a huge boost for Mourinho’s men who had been thrashed 4-0 by Chelsea on Sunday at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League.
Speaking after the game, Mourinho praised United’s fans, insisting the strength of their support is something he has never experienced in his career thus far.
“The spirit of the supporters is phenomenal here, I never had people like these ones,” he told Sky Sports.
“The love the people have for the club is bigger than bad results and bigger than three bad seasons.”

United return to Premier League action on Saturday as they welcome Burnley to Old Trafford. The Clarets are yet to pick up a single point away home in the league this season.

Senate Finally Amends Code Of Conduct Bill

The Nigerian Senate took a bold step on Thursday by finally passing the Code of Conduct amendment bill, 2016.

The amendment included altering the tenure of office of the chairman and members of the Code of Conduct Bureau.
Also amended was the tenure of the chairman and members from serving until they are 70, to a term of five years.
The exercise follows months of discussions in the Senate, regarding the need to amend the bill.
It also comes months after the trial of Senate President Bukola for false asset declaration, commenced at the Code Of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
Saraki had criticised the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), which filed the charges against him, for not inviting him for questioning, on the charges before it filed them.
Although, the actual amendments to the act were done by the House Of Representatives and passed on May 31, the Senate concurred with the House and passed the bill on October 27.
Early in the year, the upper legislative chamber had sought to amend the act, but a public outcry forced it to shelve it; although a similar bill has been reintroduced.

Girl, 9, who fell into a scalding hot bath takes her first steps in 7 YEARS after having her leg amputated - despite doctors saying she would never walk again

Tilly Sawford (inset), from Nottingham, was given just a five per cent chance of survival after suffering 86 per cent burns when she was just 15-months-old. Her parents were told she was close to death five times as she was treated in intensive care for six months. She has had more than 500 operations, including having shark cartilage and cow collagen grafted onto her skin - but doctors still said she would never walk again, forcing her to use a frame (right). Earlier this year doctors amputated her right leg and replaced it with a prosthetic limb to try and help her walk (left). And incredibly, two weeks ago she took her first steps unaided - and even played a toy foot-piano.
