The pitch may have been artificial but there was nothing plastic about the performance. This was a show of real character by Everton, fighting back from a goal down to plant one foot firmly in the last 16 of the Europa League. They even played the last half hour a man down after John Stones was sent off. Romelu Lukaku led magnificently from the front with a hat-trick. The big Belgian striker has struggled to justify his £28million price tag from Chelsea last summer, but here he was almost unplayable. It was the perfect hat-trick — header, right foot, left foot — and his first since gatecrashing Sir Alex Ferguson’s farewell game, a potty 5-5 draw between West Bromwich and Manchester United at The Hawthorns two years ago.

Southampton managed to avoid their worst run in 57 years with a resounding victory against Everton. An own goal from Romelu Lukaku in the first half set Saints on their way and strikes from Graziano Pelle and Maya Yoshida then secured victory and halted their dramatic slide. Had they been beaten by the Merseyside club then they would have crashed to their sixth consecutive defeat, matching an unwanted run set in 1957.

Boston (CNN) -- A juror wept Friday as James "Whitey" Bulger's former partner told a tragic tale of a slip of the lip and the ensuing result -- the strangling death of a 26-year-old woman, who was killed because she'd heard too much. What made this recitation of deadly details different from the ones that preceded it during reputed mob boss Bulger's trial in federal court was that the victim had been the girlfriend of the witness. "It's affected me and it's going to affect me until the day I die," Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi said in the first humanizing testimony the jury had heard in two days of recollections about multiple murders and extortions.

These words were spoken by Suffolk County, Massachusetts, District Attorney Dan Conley after Monday's terror attack in Boston. A day later, signs of that strength are seen in the stories of people -- you might call them heroes -- who were near the Boston Marathon finish line when two bombs exploded seconds apart. Honoring a son Carlos Arredondo's story began nearly nine years ago, when he doused himself with gasoline and used a welder's torch to set his body on fire.

Culprit? Chief Inspector Frederick Abberline has been named as Jack the Ripper by a Spanish investigator Suspects have ranged from a member of Royal Family to a local butcher – but it is now claimed that Jack the Ripper was the very detective who led the hunt for the killer.

Port-Au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- Health and hospital officials in Haiti braced for the worse Monday, fearing the hurricane that battered the Caribbean nation over the weekend could worsen the cholera outbreak that has killed hundreds of people and hospitalized thousands since it began last month. The official death toll attributed to the outbreak was 544, with more than 8,000 confirmed cases, Health Minister Alex Larsen told CNN. On Monday, Dr. Toni Eyssallenne of Hospital Bernard Mevs confirmed the first case of cholera -- in a 3-year-old boy -- to originate and manifest entirely in Port-au-Prince. Previous cases had been centered in Haiti's Artibonite and Central Plateau regions, including the city of St. Marc, north of the nation's capital.

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- A top coalition general wounded in a suicide attack Saturday in northern Afghanistan -- one that left seven dead and eight others hurt -- said weeks earlier that he'd charged international troops to "show Afghans ... respect," in part to contrast with brazen actions by the likes of the Taliban. The attack in Taloqan occurred at a high-level meeting of Afghan and coalition officials in a governor's office, a provincial spokesman said. A Taliban spokesman said that the group, whose fight to resume control in Afghanistan has picked up in recent months, was responsible. Maj. Gen. Markus Kneip, a veteran German office and the regional head of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force across nine provinces of northern Afghanistan, is in stable condition after suffering non-life threatening injuries, a German general said.

Since its inception in 1877 the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in a small, affluent suburb of south west London that gives the event its name, has presided over a tournament -- the oldest and grandest on the tennis circuit -- that has become more than simply another fixture on the grand slam calender.

A state of near-anarchy has existed in Somalia for more than two decades: the government has little authority, violent conflict has left thousands dead, and the country has recently been hit by a devastating famine. Pirates have taken advantage of the power vacuum to prey on vessels large and small off the country's coast, but over the past few months, Al-Shabaab militants appear to have added a new tactic: kidnapping foreign tourists and aid workers in Kenya (though some in Al-Shabaab deny involvement in the abductions.)

(CNN) -- They're familiar characters in the debate over controversial Halloween costumes: suicide bombers, geishas, gangsta rappers, rednecks and sexy nurses. Such costumes regularly draw allegations of racism, sexism or insensitivity. But where do fully-clothed folk legends fit in? American Apparel featured characters on both ends of the spectrum this month in its annual do-it-yourself Halloween costume guide. Below a collection of pin-up girl costumes -- including a model donning a breast-baring serape -- was "La Llorona," the ghostly weeping woman who kidnaps wandering children, according to folklore in parts of Latin America. True, she was wearing a lace bustier under a shawl, but the layers upon layers make her appear more like the haunted bag lady than a sexy spirit.

By Emily Kent Smith The girlfriend of a security guard has been found guilty of helping him steal boots from the Premier League club where he worked - so that he could use them play Sunday league football. Tanya Cotton, 24, stole Nike footwear worth £200 belonging to Scottish midfielder Graham Dorrans from West Bromwich Albion’s training ground on August 29 last year. Her boyfriend, Aaron Hinds, admitted taking kit from the Premier League star as well as trainers owned by player James Morrison, 27, when he pleaded guilty to two charges of theft and one of burglary last November.

The United States may be the mightiest military and economic power in the world but when it comes to shuttling its top diplomat around the globe, it's beginning to look like a poor orphan. For the fourth time this year — and the second time in three months, Secretary of State John Kerry was forced to fly home commercially when his aging Air Force Boeing 757, known in military parlance as a C-32, was grounded on Thursday with a mechanical problem in Vienna. Inconvenient? Undoubtedly. Kerry, heading back to Washington from nuclear talks with senior European and Iranian officials, made light of the situation, telling aides: 'If the hardest thing that happens in a given day is that you have to fly commercial, your life is pretty good.'

La Liga clubs are edging towards a deal that would sell their TV rights collectively in a bid to end the financial dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona. At present, Spanish clubs sell their rights individually. But this has lead to a complete lack of competition with Barcelona and Real Madrid each receiving around £120million a season. Their nearest rivals, Atletico Madrid, receive less than half that amount.

Undeniably so, given the bond that appears to exist between Louis Van Gaal and Robin Van Persie here in Brazil.

When young British models Cara Delevingne and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley stepped out at Paris Fashion Week wearing V-neck tops slashed to their waists this week, onlookers might have expected an abundance of breast on show. After all, the new trend for deep-plunge necklines leaves little to the imagination. But there was, in fact, barely any cleavage to be seen — despite the minimal material. For this slick new style, spearheaded by the slimmest of celebrities, is actually all about having no cleavage. It is, indeed, the ‘no-cleavage cleavage’: a daring display of chest that demonstrates not acres of soft, ample bosom but a hard, toned torso without a whiff of wobble.

Scarlett Johansson has resigned as an ambassador for humanitarian group Oxfam in a row over her support for an Israeli company. The 29-year-old actress is promoting Soda Stream and is set to appear in an advert for the company during the Super Bowl. But left-leaning critics and Oxfam oppose the company because it has a large factory in an Israeli settlement in the West Bank - a territory captured by Israel in 1967 and claimed by the Palestinians. Oxfam opposes all trade from Israeli settlements because they say it is illegal and denies Palestinian rights. In response to criticism, Johansson yesterday severed ties with Oxfam after eight years saying she supports trade and 'social interaction between a democratic Israel and Palestine'. The charity had earlier said her Soda Stream deal was 'incompatible' with her role as an ambassador.

By Ap Reporter PUBLISHED: 16:24 EST, 17 September 2013 | UPDATED: 05:32 EST, 18 September 2013 The devastating fire that engulfed part of a Jersey shore boardwalk and dozens of businesses was caused by wiring that was damaged by Hurricane Sandy. The Seaside Park, New Jersey boardwalk emerged relatively unscathed from the October 29 storm compared to its neighbor Seaside Heights. But Sandy left her indelible mark after all, last Thursday when a raging fire blazed through 80 buildings across three blocks of the resort town. The fire began at a frozen custard stand, where aged wiring that had been compromised by salt water and sand sparked what would eventually become an inferno, federal and county investigators said at a Tuesday news conference.

Beijing (CNN) -- China's Foreign Ministry weighed in on the widespread anxiety over Iran's nuclear program on Friday, urging Iran to be flexible with the U.N. nuclear agency but staunchly deploring force amid talk of strikes against the country. Hong Lei, the ministry spokesman, made the comments, state-run news agency Xinhua said on Friday. They come ahead of a report on Iran's nuclear program expected to be released next week by the International Atomic Energy Agency. "As a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran should fulfill the relevant international obligations," Hong told reporters. The report is expected to focus specifically on research and development that Tehran may have carried out that would help it build a nuclear warhead. Iran said it is developing nuclear power for peaceful purposes but Western powers have long asserted that Iran aspires to build nuclear weapons.

Hundreds of demonstrators, including prominent lawmakers, were arrested at a peaceful sit-in in Hong Kong early Wednesday, following a huge rally calling for democracy in the Chinese territory. Large crowds had turned out for a 5 km march through the city's central business district Tuesday, in a massive show of defiance against Beijing's vision for the city's political future. Police said 98,600 people took part in the march, while organizers said 510,000 participated. Statisticians from the University of Hong Kong estimated the turnout as between 154,000 and 172,000. At the end of the rally, student activist groups held illegal sit-ins at two locations, at Chater Road in the heart of the business district, and outside the office of Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying.

Barack Obama's appearance on "The View" on Tuesday topped a week spent cozying up to the world of entertainment, including a dinner hosted by George Clooney that raised $15 million and a $5,000-a-plate extravaganza with Ricky Martin. Presidents have always chased Hollywood's vote. Herbert Hoover's first overnight guest in the White House was Louis B. Mayer, and Richard Nixon had dinner parties with John Wayne. So Obama's willingness to dish dirt on the "View" sofa is historically in keeping. Some in the news media are convinced that Obama's endorsement of gay marriage was designed to raise Hollywood dollars. They may have a point, but Obama wasn't just after money.

Washington (CNN) -- A gaffe is when a politician is caught telling the truth, the old saying goes. So it was in March when a hot microphone picked up President Barack Obama telling his Russian counterpart, Dmitri Medvedev, that he will have "more flexibility" if he wins re-election in November. The president's top aides scrambled to downplay the remark, assuring reporters Obama doesn't have any surprises up his sleeve should voters hand him a second term. But underlying the president's comment is a truism of American politics: Without the specter of a looming election, a second-term president is liberated to pursue policies that aren't politically tenable at the ballot box.

(CNN) -- "Viewers don't want to be informed. Viewers want to feel informed." Those are the words of Chet Collier, one of the founders of Fox News, as quoted in Gabriel Sherman's new biography of Roger Ailes, the network's chief. Mission apparently accomplished: Fox is the most-watched cable news network, and yet, some surveys suggest that people who rely on Fox as their primary information source know less about current events than people who watch no news at all. But to jab at Fox for inaccuracy is to miss Fox's purpose. Fox has created an information community. We used to say, "Everybody's entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." In a mass media age, what counted as "fact" was defined by a few great national institutions: a small group of prestigious newspapers, a pair of leading news magazines, a trio of television broadcasters.
