Top Gear racing driver dead after battle with motor neurone disease

Neil was a celebrated British race car driver

TV race star Neil Cunningham has died aged 52.

The professional driver, who appeared in Top Gear and was once rumoured to be The Stig himself, has died following a long battle with motor neurone disease.

After receiving his diagnosis back in 2011, Neil was forced to step out of the limelight and focus on his health.

The father-of-two performed numerous stunts for the long-running BBC series during his illustrious career, and once doubled as James Bond in a car chase for the film franchise.

Woman begs High Court to allow her to use dead daughter's eggs to give birth to her own grandchild

A woman who wants to use her daughter’s frozen eggs to give birth to her own grandchild has appealed to leading judges to allow her to carry out the dying wishes of her “much-loved and only child”.

The 60-year-old, whose daughter died of cancer in 2011, lost an action at the High Court last year, but is now asking three Court of Appeal judges to rule in her favour.

Her QC, Jenni Richards, told the judges on Wednesday that the woman wants to fulfil her daughter’s wishes that her mother should carry a child created from her frozen eggs “and raise that child”.

Ms Richards said that if the court did not overturn the High Court’s ruling, the “inevitable” consequence would be that the eggs “will simply be allowed to perish”.

The woman and her 59-year-old husband are challenging the decision of Mr Justice Ouseley last June to dismiss their case.

How Chelsea are delaying Jose Mourinho being announced as Man United manager

Hold up: Mourinho will not be announced until Thursday at the earliest

Chelsea's ownership of the copyright of Jose Mourinho's signature, is one aspect holding up a deal for him to become new Manchester United boss.

The Red Devils will now not announce the Special One as their new manager until Thursday at the earliest.

Personal terms have been agreed between Mourinho and United, with lawyers now scrutinising the finer details of the three-year agreement.

It is understood the issue of intellectual property rights, in particular the Blues' ownership of the copyright of Mourinho's signature, is causing the hitch.

United, however, remain relaxed about that hurdle in their negotiations with Mendes and expect to announce Mourinho, 53, as Louis van Gaal's successor on Thursday.

Mourinho's first game in charge of United will be a pre-season friendly against Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai on July 22, before renewing his fierce rivalry withPep Guardiola against Manchester City in Beijing on July 25.

Horror in the Mediterranean: Hundreds of migrants hold on for dear life as they are flipped into the sea when their overcrowded boat overturns off Libyan coast, leaving five dead

At least five migrants have drowned off the Libyan coast today after the heavily overcrowded boat they were on overturned, the Italian navy has revealed.

The navy said at least 550 people had been pulled to safety but added that the rescue operation was still underway and that the death toll could rise.

Shocking pictures show the vessel starting to lean to one side before refugees start diving into the water as it capsizes. Frantic passengers swam for their lives as the boat started to overturn and sink beneath the surface.

More than 6,000 migrants have been rescued from the Mediterranean in just over 48 hours as Italian officials revealed people smugglers now account for half of GDP along Libya's coast.

TYSON BECKFORD, DJ RUCKUS BLOODY FIGHT OVER SHANINA SHAIK

Tyson Beckford got into an all-out brawl with DJ Ruckus over the "Bro Code" ... 360 has learned.

It happened Thursday at Up & Down nightclub in NYC. Tyson and Ruckus have had ongoing beef over Shanina Shaik. Tyson, who was friends with Ruckus, was dating Shanina, broke up and then Ruckus hooked up with her. So, you can see why things have been tense between the guys.

We're told Ruckus saw Tyson in the club, flipped him off, and then Beckford went over to Ruckus and said if he had beef with him they should "take it out in the street." That's exactly what happened.

We're told the fight was violent.  At one point Tyson was on top of Ruckus, pounding away, when one of Ruckus' friends began punching Beckford in the head.  

It didn't end there. Ruckus punched Tyson in the groin, and Tyson returned the favor with his knee. A doorman called the cops, and by the time cops got there the 3 men were gone. No arrests were made.

We got video outside the club, where you can see the fight starting to brew -- but because there were a ton of cops patrolling that area, we're told Ruckus and Beckford moved the action a few blocks away.
