PFA urges Premier League players to hire bodyguards
Premier League players should consider hiring private security guards to ensure the safety of themselves and their families, according to the Professional Footballers’ Association.
The PFA’s warning came on Saturday after it was alleged that an unnamed top-flight footballer is being forced to pay £15,000 every three months in protection money to a London gang.
The BBC World Service’s World Football programme claims footballers and their relatives are becoming prey for gangs, who see them as easy targets for extortion and intimidation
. The threat has now become so serious that PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor believes players should hire private minders to supplement any protection afforded by police.
“Football reflects society and sometimes society can be not very pleasant,” said Taylor. “If these threats are a reality it’s a terribly intimidating thing for the player concerned.
“Clubs and players are a lot more conscious about security, we have made them aware of this, and there’s a strong need for private security to go alongside the police.
“It’s not a massive issue but we’ve seen enough examples in recent times of players’ houses being targeted while they’re away and teams suffering security scares for it to be taken seriously. Ultimately, it’s something that clubs and players have to discuss with the police and their security people.”
Paul Hughes, David Beckham’s former bodyguard who runs Benchmark Security, claimed he had heard of players being involved in protection money demands.

Israel Extends Apology to Turkey For Envoy Snub

Israel issued a second written apology to Turkey over its envoy’s treatment, bowing to Ankara’s ultimatum in a bid to defuse the latest spat over a TV show that marred ties between the two allies. Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon apologised to Turkish Ambassador Oguz Celikkol for giving him an angry dressing down in front of cameras to protest a Turkish television series portraying Mossad agents as baby snatchers.
Ankara, a key Muslim ally to Israel, was infuriated and demanded “an explanation and apology” after Ayalon on Tuesday made Celikkol sit on a low couch and removed the Turkish flag from the table at their meeting besides refusing to shake hands with the latter after the meeting concluded.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul threatened to recall the ambassador if there was no formal apology. However, ties had already been poisoned by Ankara’s severe criticism of Israel’s deadly offensive on Gaza last year and its persistent blockade of the Palestinian enclave.

PORT MORESBY : Around 40 people have died after two buses crashed head-on in one of impoverished Papua New Guinea’s worst ever road accidents.
The buses were travelling at speeds above 100 kilometres (60 miles) per hour and swerving to avoid potholes when they hit each other in a remote area of the South Pacific nation’s northeast.
Most of the victims were killed instantly while others died before they could receive treatment, with eight people in intensive care.
“It is one of the saddest days in the history of road accidents where we have such a number of commuters die at once,” local Assistant Police Commissioner Giossi Labi told Australian Associated Press.
Parliamentarian Koni Iguan said it was one of the most horrific smashes he had ever seen.
“This is the nastiest and bloodiest of accidents on the highway,” Iguan said.
