Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association. Hughes, 52, was sent to the stands during the first half of Stoke's 4-0 loss to Tottenham on Saturday. The Welshman reacted angrily on the touchline after two separate incidents, prompting referee Anthony Taylor to take action. The FA said "his behaviour amounted to improper conduct" and he has until 18:00 BST on Friday to respond. Defeat for the Potters, their third consecutive loss in the Premier League, kept them bottom of the table. Hughes' outburst, some of it directed at the fourth official Jon Moss, came shortly before Spurs' 41st-minute opener, after a booking for Marko Arnautovic for diving and what he thought was a foul on Jon Walters. The former Manchester United striker said after the game he was "disappointed" by the decisions and by his own reaction but added: "I don't think my departure had an effect on my team's performance. "There were two decisions I thought should have gone our way so I reacted in a forceful manner. When you come out of your technical arena, it's not allowed, sometimes you forget that. "Mr Moss, bless him, decided that warranted a sending off, which, by the letter of the law it did, so I have to hold my hands up." Stoke's only point of the season so far came on the opening day when they drew 1-1 against Middlesbrough at the Riverside.

Scientists say early experiments suggest it may one day be possible to make babies without using eggs. They have succeeded in creating healthy baby mice by tricking sperm into believing they were fertilising normal eggs. The findings in Nature Communications, could, in the distant future, mean women can be removed from the baby-making process, say the researchers. For now, the work helps to explain some of the details of fertilisation. End of mum and dad? The University of Bath scientists started with an unfertilised egg in their experiments. They used chemicals to trick it into becoming a pseudo-embryo. These "fake" embryos share much in common with ordinary cells, such as skin cells, in the way they divide and control their DNA. The researchers reasoned that if injecting sperm into mouse pseudo-embryos could produce healthy babies, then it might one day be possible to achieve a similar result in humans using cells that are not from eggs. In the mouse experiments, the odds of achieving a successful pregnancy was one in four. Dr Tony Perry, one of the researchers, told the BBC News website: "This is the first time that anyone has been able to show that anything other than an egg can combine with a sperm in this way to give rise to offspring. "It overturns nearly 200 years of thinking." Those baby mice were healthy, had a normal life expectancy and had healthy pups of their own. Fertilisation The goal of the researchers is to understand the exact mechanisms of fertilisation because what happens when a sperm fuses with an egg is still a bit of a mystery. For example, the egg completely strips the sperm's DNA of all its chemical clothing and re-dresses it. That stops the sperm behaving like a sperm and makes it act like an embryo, but how the "costume change" takes place is not clear. Removing the need for an egg could have a wider impact on society. Dr Perry said: "One possibility, in the distant future, is that it might be possible that ordinary cells in the body can be combined with a sperm so that an embryo is formed." In other words, two men could have a child, with one donating an ordinary cell and the other, sperm. Or one man could have his own child using his own cells and sperm - with that child being more like a non-identical twin than a clone. Dr Perry stressed that such scenarios were still "speculative and fanciful" at this stage. Earlier this year in China, scientists were able to make sperm from stem cells and then fertilise an egg to produce healthy mice. Dr Perry suggested that combining the two fields of research may eventually do without the need for sperm and eggs altogether. Prof Robin Lovell-Badge, from the Francis Crick Institute, commented: "I'm not surprised that the authors are excited about this. "I think it is a very interesting paper, and a technical tour de force and I am sure it will tell us something important about reprogramming at these early steps of development that are relevant to both fertilisation and single cell nuclear transfer [cloning]. "And, perhaps more broadly, about reprogramming of cell fate in other situations. "It doesn't yet tell us how, but the paper gives a number of clear pointers."

After a rough and underwhelming return to the gruelling Dakar rally in 2015, Peugeot Sport slinked back to its secret bunker and set to work on the next iteration of its off-road monster. Earlier this year, that went and stomped the two-week off-road endurance race serving Stéphane Peterhansel his 12th Dakar victory. For next year’s race, Peugeot Sport has gone back to the drawing board and built an all-new car. No longer based on the hum-drum 2008 crossover, for Dakar 2017 Peugeot are using the bigger 3008 SUV that’s set to debut at the upcoming Paris motor show as a basis. But don’t worry, it’s still about as 3008-y as the old 2008 DKR was 2008-y. Due to that dastardly rule book, the dimensions of the 3008 DKR haven’t changed compared to its predecessor. Yes, it’s still longer and wider than the unstable first generation DKR car, but the footprint is no different to the current car – which has proven to be a lot better at ironing out South America’s undulations. You may also notice it’s quite squat. That’s to help lower the centre of gravity. Something those two spare tyres that are hidden in its cheeks also helps with. And those short overhangs at the front and back allow it to bash and crawl up and over pretty much everything it can get its thick tyres onto. Apparently, the main areas of improvement over the old car are reliability and driveability. Both crucial elements given the DKR’s bread and butter is to compete in a race that’s 10,000 kilometres long, pretty much flat-out and takes place in every weather condition Earth can throw at it. The 3.0-litre mid-mounted V6 twin-turbo diesel engine now delivers greater amounts of crucial torque at lower revs. This wasn’t easily achieved given there’s been a rule change imposing a smaller restrictor on the engine (38mm as opposed to 39mm), sapping around 20 horsepower. The dampers and suspension geometry have also been further honed to provide a more stable and better ride for pounding across the desert. Plus, the air con system has been upgraded to make sure the driver and navigators don’t boil in their race suits. But Peugeot is still going against the grain of its top-level competitors by sticking to a two-wheel drive layout instead of four. Which means all 330bhp and 590lb ft of torque heads to the rear wheels. Which means lots of sandy skids. But there’s more to it than that. With no power heading to the front wheels, there are less mechanical connections to potentially fail. It also keeps the 3008 DKR in a less restrictive class, loosening up the regulations to which Dakar’s dominant four-wheel-drive competitors must adhere. So that updated suspension offers a hell of a lot more travel than four-wheel-drive cars (460mm against 250mm), it can run bigger wheels, plus a trick inboard remote tyre-pressure system that allows the car to inflate/deflate its rubber on the move. Will the 3008 DKR help revive Peugeot’s Dakar dominance of old? Well, they have an off-road dream team of drivers – Stéphane Peterhansel, Carlos Sainz, Sébastien Loeb and Cyril Despres – which helps. But we’ll just have to wait until January to find out for sure.

San Francisco 49ers player Colin Kaepernick continued his protest about racial inequality by kneeling as the national anthem was played before a 28-0 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Team-mate Eric Reid knelt with Kaepernick, while two others - Antoine Bethea and Eli Harold - raised fists during the Star Spangled Banner. The game was broadcast nationally to a Monday Night Football audience. The Rams' Kenny Britt and Robert Quinn also held their fists in the air. Back-up quarterback Kaepernick has refused to stand for the national anthem to highlight what he says is oppression of black people in the United States. His stance has divided opinion in America - Kaepernick's jersey is now the best-selling replica kit in the NFL, but opponents say he is disrespecting the American flag.

American Football - opening-weekend results How have other players reacted? Several players joined his protest in the NFL's opening weekend - which also marked the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Many raised fists or knelt to support Kaepernick. Four Miami Dolphins players - Arian Foster, Jelani Jenkins, Michael Thomas, and Kenny Stills - knelt as the Star Spangled Banner played. Their opponents, the Seattle Seahawks, locked arms as they stood. Kansas City Chiefs players also locked arms to show unity, while Marcus Peters raised a black-gloved fist - a gesture reminiscent of US sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos as they stood on the podium following their 200m final at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City. In a statement, the Chiefs players said it was their goal to be "unified as a team and to be respectful of everyone's opinions" as well as remember 9/11. It continued: "It's our job as professional athletes to make a positive impact on our communities and to be proactive when change is needed." Dolphins linebacker Jenkins said: "I chose to get involved to see if I could create change, raise awareness. "I want to make it clear that there is no disrespect to the military or to police officers. I'm not about that. "I would like to keep moving forward in the right direction with everybody: equal rights, equal opportunity. "It doesn't seem that it's happening. That's why I took a stand." Seahawks players and staff had been in talks before their game to discuss how best to show support, and now want to meet law enforcement officials. New England Patriots duo Martellus Bennett and Devin McCourty also held up their right arms, while team-mate Danny Amendola was seen to grab the unfurled American flag on the field during the anthem. In Thursday's season-opener between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers - a repeat of last season's Super Bowl - Denver linebacker Brandon Marshall knelt during the national anthem. Analysis James Cook, Los Angeles correspondent, BBC News "As the Star Spangled Banner was played on a violin, tens of thousands fans stood in silence. The entire field was covered in a huge American flag and on the sidelines Colin Kaepernick and teammate Eric Reid knelt in protest. "Some fans shouted at them to get up. They have been accused of disrespecting their flag and their nation but many other fans say they approve of the demonstration - which is aimed at highlighting inequality in the United States. The quarterback, who is African-American says too many black people are killed by police officers - and too many still do not have the same opportunities as white people. "The protests, which began in pre-season games, have spread, with players from other teams raising their fists in the air during the anthem - recalling a controversial salute by two black American sprinters at the 1968 Olympics."

Three Syrian men have been arrested in Germany on suspicion of being sent by so-called Islamic State (IS) to launch attacks, prosecutors say. The men - aged between 17 and 26 - were detained after a series of pre-dawn raids in the states of Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony on Tuesday. Later, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told journalists the suspects may have had links to the men who attacked Paris in November last year. He called the three a sleeper cell. The Federal Public Prosecutor's office has said no concrete missions or orders have so far been found, despite the seizure of "extensive material". The men - identified only as Mahir al-H, 17, Ibrahim M, 18, and Mohamed A, 26 - are said to have travelled through Turkey and Greece on false passports. Investigators believe they had volunteered for the alleged mission, and that the 17-year-old had been trained in handling weapons and explosives in Raqqa, IS's stronghold in Syria. They received fake passports, mobile phones loaded with a pre-installed communication programme and four-figure cash sums in US dollars. 'On edge' The men were arrested when 200 police and security officers raided six locations, including three refugee shelters. Investigations so far suggest the three came to Germany in November 2015 with the intention of "carrying out a previously determined order [from IS] or to await further instructions", prosecutors said in a statement. Suspicions of the men were first raised months ago, and the men had been under surveillance including phone-tapping for weeks, reported the German news agency DPA. Football fans gather on the field of the Stade de France stadium after explosions during a friendly football match between France and Germany in Saint-Denis, north of Paris, on 13 November 2015 - one of a number of deadly attacks on the night At a news conference, Mr Maiziere said they were trafficked into Europe by the same organisation that supported the three men who blew themselves up outside the Stade de France national football stadium in Paris on 13 November. A bystander also died - one of the total of 130 people killed in a series of co-ordinated attacks that night. Paris attacks: Who were the attackers? Germany is on edge after a spate of attacks over the summer, says the BBC's Jenny Hill in Berlin. Over one week in July, 10 people were killed and dozens more wounded in separate gun, bomb, axe and machete attacks in the south of the country. Islamic State appeared to play a role in two of those attacks, by asylum seekers in Wuerzburgand Ansbach. In both cases, the attackers were killed. In early June, three Syrian men were arrested on suspicion of plotting an IS suicide attack in the western city of Duesseldorf. Tuesday's arrests are likely to be welcomed by ministers who are trying to reassure Germans that they can keep the country safe, our correspondent adds. The government has been under pressure to reduce the number of refugees it admits - more than a million in 2015 - under Chancellor Angela Merkel's "open-door" policy.

Smart phones are no longer an avenue for entertainment, but could be used for medical purposes, such as the monitoring of minute heartbeat and measuring calories during sports, in recent times, a British company has developed a clever way to test blue water disease of the eye. And developed a team of Cambridge kansiltnt ", a company specializing in technology, applying the telephone associated with virtual reality goggles like device for testing the safety of eye disease. The device allows testing was required to go to the hospital, which bodes well for a promising potential treatment, especially in areas where there is no doctors specialists in ophthalmology. Blue water is or "glaucoma" genetically caused disease glaucoma, affects those over 45 years of age in particular, and may lead to blindness. According to the site "digital trand, the new device costs only $ 25 and therefore is cheaper than a currently approved device in hospitals. The device can be used easily, with enough put it on the eye, and then hold the remote control in hand, and when a Flash of light gun for the tempter, he presses the buttons, just 5 minutes gets the result, and would be able, then, to consult a doctor.
