Nigeria edge thriller to set up all-African final #NIGERIAVSMALI #NGRVMLI

Holders Nigeria have reached their second consecutive final thanks to a thrilling 4-2 victory against Mexico in Concepcion.

Mexico opened the scoring through Kevin Magana, with stunning efforts from Kelechi Nwakali and Orji Okwonkwo seeing the African side ahead. Diego Cortes's remarkable solo effort levelled matters, before Osinachi Ebere and Victor Osimhen's late record-equalling penalty saw the Golden Eaglets into an all-African final against Mali.

Mexico controlled the ball in the opening stages of the match, and took the lead early on. Kevin Lara beat his man on the Mexican right and delivered a teasing cross into the middle. Aguirre tried to control with his chest, but Magana took charge and fired home.

Could toddler killed in Egypt air disaster hold the clue to why the plane crashed? Tiny girl's body is discovered 20 miles from crash site, suggesting Russian jet may have exploded earlier than thought

The youngest victim of last weekend's Russian tourist jet disaster may help solve the question of what happened to the Airbus A321 before it went down in Egypt last weekend.

Ten-month-old Darina Gromova from St Petersburg had been on holiday in Sharm el-Sheikh with her parents when they, and 221 others, died shortly after their flight to Russia took off on Saturday.

The baby girl's body was found more than 21 miles from the main crash site, indicating that the plane may have exploded earlier than aviation experts had previously thought. 

That has forced investigators to widen the search area - and could lead to the discovery of otherwise missed clues.

Legendary auto exec says VW was under a 'reign of terror' that led to emissions scandal

Bob Lutz is taking no prisoners in his relatively new gig as a columnist at Road and Track magazine. In his last column, he said that Tesla was doomed.

Now he's taking on the Volkswagen scandal — and taking aim at one of the men at the top, if not the top, of the VW Group hierarchy.

"Ferdinand Piëch, the immensely powerful former chief of Volkswagen's supervisory board, is more than likely the root cause of the VW diesel-emissions scandal," Lutz writes.

It gets worse.

"It's what I call a reign of terror and a culture where performance was driven by fear and intimidation," Lutz continues.

Man dies with tumours made up of cancerous tapeworms growing inside of him

Tapeworm: Doctors were totally puzzled by the man's condition

A man has died with tumours inside him which were composed of cancerous tapeworms.

Doctors believe that the man, 41, was able to develop the rare condition because he had HIV which caused him to have a weakened immune system.

The bizarre form of the illness was eventually diagnosed by the US Centers for Disease Control and the UK's Natural History Museum, which have laid out their findings in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The patient, a Colombian, was first seen by doctors in 2013, who found that he had what initially seemed to be normal tumours across his liver, lungs and elsewhere.

US intelligence: A bomb planted by ISIS most likely brought down the crashed Russian plane

US intelligence reportedly points to a bomb as the most likely culprit of the plane crash in Egypt last week, US and European security sources said on Wednesday.
