Britain battered by snow, sleet and gale-force winds as drivers told to prepare for treacherous conditions

Kampusbet - UK weather: Britain battered by snow, sleet and gale-force winds as drivers told to prepare for treacherous conditions

Judi Online -  Arctic conditions including snow, sleet and gale force winds battered the UK as temperatures plummeted over the weekend.

After basking in glorious sunshine throughout recent weeks, the country is now bracing itself for a spell of wintry weather as spring looks to be put on hold.

In Northern Ireland last night, the mercury dropped to a face-numbing -8C (17.6F), making it one of the coldest April nights on record.

And experts warned the bad weather will last into next month, meaning those hoping to enjoy a spot of sunshine on the May bank holiday weekend will be disappointed.

Met Office spokeswoman Nicola Maxey, said: "The weather has started to change and it is coming from the Arctic.

"We have had a long stretch of quite settled weather where high pressure has dominated, but that has moved out. This cold air has moved in from the Arctic and that is moving slowly south."

Drivers have been warned to be careful of potentially treacherous conditions as wintry showers of sleet and snow hit Scotland and Northern Ireland, before sweeping across northern parts of England, Wales and the east coast. Gale-force winds of 50 mph are predicted to batter Northern Ireland.

Less than a fortnight ago, Britain enjoyed the hottest day of the year so far with thermometers peaking at 25.1C (77F) in Kent.

But the mercury has nosedived and will hover in the low teens all week in south, while it will 

struggle to get into double digits in the north - making Britain colder than Moscow.

Ms Maxey said: "We are in colder air for this week which is coming down from the Arctic.

Bandar Bola - "Northern Ireland had one of its coldest April nights on record last night and in London temperatures will be around 13C, which is a big change from the low 20s we have had the last couple of weeks.

"It looks like we are staying fairly unsettled into the start of May with temperatures average or a bit below average."

Simon Williams, a spokesman for the motorist group the RAC, said: "It's very easy at this time of year for motorists to feel that wintry conditions have gone for good, but you can be easily caught out by some very changeable conditions.

"Our advice is to simply plan ahead and prepare for adverse conditions with the temperature set to drop this week, leading to more wintry conditions in some parts.

"It's important to check essentials such as coolant and anti-freeze levels and give yourself time to ensure the engine starts, especially if the car has not been used for a few days as a cold snap can badly affect the battery.

"With the possibility of ice on the roads in parts of the UK, it is also important to leave more time for journeys and drive to the conditions to avoid the possibility of an accident."

Crystal Palace 0-2 Hull

Kampusbet - Crystal Palace 0-2 Hull: Dame N'Doye goals lift Tigers

 

Agen Bola SBOBET - After a dominant first half which saw James Chester, N’Doye and Tom Huddlestone all come close, N’Doye hit the post early in the second half before finally breaking the deadlock for the visitors in the 52nd minute when he bundled home from close range.

Palace had a Yaya Sanogo header disallowed for a foul on Paul McShane, before N’Doye wrapped up the points in injury time by drilling in to the bottom corner past Julian Speroni. 

Victory ensured Hull stay a point above the drop zone but in no way eases their relegation fears, with Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United still ahead.

The hosts, making two changes from last week’s defeat to West Brom, almost took an early lead when Jason Puncheon’s bending free-kick fell to the feet of Glenn Murray at the far post as Hull failed to clear their lines, but Steve Harper blocked the close range effort.

Palace’s defence struggled to cope with crosses, primarily from Robbie Brady, in to the area, with James Chester heading over from close range when unmarked from a corner.

Three minutes later, Brady’s pin-point cross from the corner of the area was met by N’Doye on the stretch, but the striker couldn’t turn the ball goal-bound from no more than six yards out.

Julian Speroni had to be alert on several occasions during the first half, with the keeper forced in to a fingertip save to flick Tom Huddlestone’s bending effort around the post and later smothering Aluko’s dinked effort.

The visitors had a big penalty appeal turned away when Ahmed Elmohamady’s cross struck the hand of Murray,  before squandering another chance  to break the deadlock late on in the half when Jake Livermore underhit his attempted lob over Speroni from the edge of the area.

Hull started the second half brightly when N’Doye’s header from Elmohamady’s cross deflected on to the post, eventually taking the lead four minutes later as Brady’s shot ricocheted off Speroni and then winger to fall to N’Doye to tap in.

Judi Bola Online - Eagles boss Pardew sent Yaya Sanogo and fit-again Lee Chung-yong into the fray in a bid to cajole some kind of attacking intent, but the hosts struggled to create clear chances.

Bolasie struck limply at goal rather than square to Sanogo as Palace finally started to threaten, while Arsenal loanee Sanogo headed home late on, only for referee Mark Clattenburg to chalk off the goal for pulling on to Paul McShane.

The away side continued to push for a second, with Elmohamady seeing an effort flash wide and Liam Rosenior rattling the woodwork with a dipping volley from the edge of the area.

As Palace pressed, Hull disposed Lee on the half way and raced clear, with substitute Gaston Ramirez feeding N'Doye, who blasted home from an angle to wrap up a deserved win.

Victory ends a six game winless run for Steve Bruce's side and moves Hull narrowly clear of the Premier League's bottom three. 

Matt Le Tissier's Soccer Saturday verdict

Hull were certainly the better team of the two. I thought N’Doye could have walked away with four goals. They dominated in terms of chances created, they looked far more dangerous and thoroughly deserved the three points. Palace don’t look the same team at home then when they are away.

Vile footage shows animal killers 'injecting dogs with acid for £2.70

Kampusbet - Vile footage shows animal killers 'injecting dogs with acid for £2.70 a go to reduce number of strays' 

Judi Online -   Sickening footage which appears to show cruel animal slaughterers brutally killing dogs by injecting them with acid has sparked outrage after it emerged online.

Animal rights campaigners claim to have recorded the video in Shiraz, Iran, alleging that the people on camera were injecting the poor animals with acid.

They also said the men were charging just £2.70 per dog as part of their drive to cut the number of strays, according to the Independent Business Times.

In the clip, the dogs whimper and cry as they are given a lethal injection.

Moments later, they are seen lying motionless on the ground, before being dragged along the yard with a rope.

Since the shocking video emerged, angry protesters have gathered in Shiraz, the capital of Fars province, demanding that the killers face punishment.

Bandar Bola - Iran's Vice President Masoumeh Ebtekar has criticised the men in the footage, and called for an investigation into the shocking events, reports news agency, ISNA.

In an open letter, she said: "[There should be] and immediate end to unconventional population control methods for stray dogs." 

Protesters have also taken to Twitter to demand justice, sharing online petitions with their followers.

One distraught social media user tweeted: "STOP killing dogs!" while others added countless pictures of the protests taking place in the city.

Earlier this week, police in Guyanas released a shocking photograph of a dead dog being dragged along the road by a moving car.

The animal was tied to the car's rear spoiler with a piece of rope as it was pulled along at 40mph.

Liverpool Tanpa Gelar

Kampusbet - Liverpool Tanpa Gelar, Bagaimana Nasib Rodgers

Judi Online -  Posisi Brendan Rodgers sebagai manajer Liverpool bakal aman hingga musim depan. Pasalnya, pemilik The Reds, Fenway Sports Group (FSG) masih merasa Rodgers merupakan manajer yang tepat untuk menangani Jordan Henderson dan kawan-kawan.

FSG akan mengevaluasi kinerja Rodgers yang gagal memberikan gelar selama tiga tahun di Anfield. Namun kemungkinan pemecatan sangat kecil karena beberapa prestasi The Reds di dalam dan luar lapangan.

Bandar Bola - Seperti kondisi keuangan, struktur gaji, serta pembelian dan penggunaan pemain muda. Selain itu Liverpool juga sukses lolos ke Liga Champions musim lalu serta masih punya peluang lolos musim ini. 

Namun jaminan dari FSG tentang posisi Rodgers belum tentu aman sepenuhnya. Apalagi jika Liverpool gagal finis di posisi empat besar musim ini dan tidak bisa memberikan keuntungan finansial dari hak siar Liga Champions.

Liverpool sendiri sekarang masih bertahan di posisi kelima klasemen. Mereka mengoleksi 57 poin dari 32 laga.
