According to Radio Marca, Barcelona appreciate the 25-year-old German International’s versatility and would be willing to pay Bayern’s €39 million asking price for the 2014 World Cup winner, as he would be able to cover the backline and the right-back spot, should Dani Alves leave this summer.

Money Speaking: See 18 images Eccentricities Billionaires in Dubai

Located in the famous Arabian Desert, on the beautiful shores of the Persian Gulf is Dubai; perhaps the most famous (with permission from Abu Dhabi) of the seven regions that make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE). There is much documented information about his old age, however, if it is known that the first inhabitants settled in the present territory of the emirate is primarily devoted to trade in pearls.

Yes, pearls; clearly an object of luxury, the truth is that sounds pretty foreboding … especially when you consider where it comes from the tremendous reputation of this small, almost remote. And everyone knows that Dubai is a different place with its mega structures and, why not, also its mega eccentricities. A gold plated car? Is driving with a cheetah as co-pilot? A vending machine for small gold bars?

Discover this curious selection of images that show how far they can get the extravagance of the appearance of Sheikh billionaires who live; an exercise in ostentation shaped city.

In Dubai is not unusual to see a cheetah as copilot

… or a lion

… Tigers also, of course

There is a good express shuttle

There, the Lions sail boat

… and rest on luxury cars

The same luxury cars used by police

…

also bathe gold

…

Gold is issued in automatic machines, typical

And the Luxury is up in the trash

Tigers in traffic jams greet

Riding on a lion? Clear

But you better not hit the road, there may be too much traffic

But will it take to go to the bathroom

Or get something to take

And taking it waiting in the car

Robbery suspects narrates how his brother recruited him into robbery

20-year-old Morgan Udama, a member of a 4-man robbery gang arrested yesterday August 4th by police officers attached to Okota Isolo Police Station in Lagos, while confessing, said he was recruited into criminal life by his own older brother, Oche, who is the leader of the robbery gang.

Morgan, a native of Oju in Benue State said he came into Lagos last week Monday July 28th to live with his brother who had promised him a better job which unknown to him was armed robbery

“I finished Senior Secondary School 3 (SSS3) in 2010 at Otupo, after which I was riding commercial motorcycle (Okada) before my brother, Oche, phoned me to come to Lagos, pledging that he would find me a better work that would fetch me enough saving for my university education. He also told me he was living in a three-bedroom flat, unknown to me that the one-room apartment he inhabited with his elder brother belonged to the latter. When I arrived last Monday, he asked me to follow him to take up an employment. When we got there, he snatched a woman’s car with pistol. I was surprised. When I asked him if robbery was the work he found for me, he said “yes,” assuring that very soon, I would be counting millions of naira. The mistake I made was that I still entered the snatched car. I should have left them because I was standing at a very good distance. But I feared that people at the scene might later lynch me if I did not follow them.”

Woman charged with the murder of her 7 year old niece (photo)

23 year old Kay-Ann Morris (pictured right) has been arrested and charged with the murder of her 7 year old niece, Shanay Rihanna Walker (pictured left), who was found dead around 5.10am at her flat in Bestwood, Nottingham last Thursday July 31st. Post-mortem tests established that the preliminary cause of the little girl's death was a head injury.

Prosecutors believe Kay-Ann attacked and battered Shanay late the previous night over reasons she's yet to give. The little girl had been staying with her aunt while her mum traveled out for business.

When she appeared in court two days ago for her hearing, which was attended my family members including the little girl's mother, the murder suspect shook, sobbed and covered her face with her hands asking for forgiveness. She was remanded into custody to appear at Nottingham Crown Court later today.
