Premier League - Mohamed Salah: Have Chelsea made a huge mistake - and what happens next?
Why is everyone talking about Mohamed Salah? Because last night the Egypt international, on loan from Chelsea, scored twice for Fiorentina as they defeated Juventus in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final to inflict a first home defeat in 48 matches for the Turin giants. It’s being compared with George Weah’s famous box-to-box goal for AC Milan but to us it’s more reminiscent of Michael Owen against Argentina, except from deep inside his own half.

After the start of the conflict in Ukraine last year, Western media and energy experts suggested that Russia could use its energy power as part of its “hybrid war.” It is therefore worth looking closely at what is real and what is false in the Kremlin’s capabilities in the oil and gas sector. In the early 2000s, when global oil and gas prices began to rise, Vladimir Putin’s government formulated the idea that Russia should become an energy superpower.

MH370 search could be scaled back as fly-past theory gains support
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has warned that the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 cannot go on in its current form forever. Flight MH370 left Kuala Lumpur on 7 March 2014 with 239 people on board, but disappeared on its way to Beijing. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), which is leading the search, has scoured 26,800 square kilometres of the ocean floor but has so far found nothing, says the Sydney Morning Herald. "It has been the largest ever underwater search carried out to date and so far only covered 40 per cent of the designated search area," it says.

DAILY MAIL COMMENT: Will voters ever get a say on migration?
This is the man whose party presided over the most momentous demographic upheaval in our history, changing Britain beyond recognition as a deliberate act to expand Labour’s voter base. Indeed, just how radical that revolution was emerges today, as a devastating audit by the Migration Watch think-tank finds an astonishing 7.23million migrants were allowed into the UK under Labour.
