An Afghan boy who became an online hit after wearing a homemade shirt bearing Lionel Messi's famous number 10 has met his hero.
A photograph of six-year-old Murtaza Ahmadi wearing the shirt made from a striped blue plastic bag went viral in January and ended with the boy receiving a signed shirt from the Barcelona striker.
But now the pair have come face to face in Doha, according to Qatar's 2022 World Cup organising committee.
Barcelona are in Qatar to play a friendly against Al Ahli on Tuesday and Ahmadi will walk out on to the pitch with Messi.
"The image the world wanted to see," tweeted the Supreme Committee on Tuesday. "The six-year-old boy who dreamed of meeting his hero, #Messi, finally comes true."
Ahmadi, who comes from the Jaghori District, in the eastern Ghazni province of Afghanistan, was forced to flee the country to Pakistan in May.
Murtaza was finally identified as the boy in the picture after his uncle, Azim Ahmadi, an Afghan living in Aust…

Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin clarified his plans to hand the helm of his 634 billion yuan ($91.7 billion) property-to-media empire, Dalian Wanda Group Co., to professional managers as the tycoon’s only son didn’t seem to be interested in following his father’s footsteps.
"I’ve asked my son and he said he didn’t want to live a life like mine," Wang, 62, said in a forum in Beijing on Saturday, according to a transcript of his speech. This is the second time the Chinese tycoon, with a net worth of $31 billion, commented on the matter for the record. He first floated the idea of letting a professional take over on a Chinese TV show in May.
"Perhaps it’s better to hand it to the professional managers,” Wang said. “We can guide them from the board. We will not set our eyes on a particular candidate, rather selecting someone from competition."

Wang Sicong, 29, the mogul’s only son, holds a 2 percent stake in Wanda. The 29-year-old is an Internet celebrity in Ch…

The New Jersey woman who is the oldest American is another year older. Adele Dunlap received balloons, and fellow residents at the Country Arch Care Center in Pittstown on Monday sang "Happy Birthday" to the 114-year-old.
But The Record (http://bit.ly/2hocF0w ) reports Dunlap didn't appreciate the fuss. Asked what she was thankful for, Dunlap said, "Gee, how should I know?" As for a birthday wish, she responded, "I've never thought of such a thing. I don't wish for anything."
She also said it was her 105th birthday. The nursing staff and her family say it's her habit to shave about a decade off her age.

Dunlap became the country's oldest person in July following the death of Goldie Michelson, of Worcester, Massachusetts.

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has pleaded guilty to drink-driving, but says he had not "intentionally consumed alcohol".
The Ivory Coast player, 33, told a court he thought he was drinking diet cola from a jug at a party, without realising it had brandy in it. 
Toure did not challenge the charge as he was "above the permitted limit".

He was fined £54,000 - a means-tested fine - and banned from driving for 18 months by Barkingside magistrates.
"It is well known that I am a Muslim and do not drink, said Toure. "I have always refused alcohol." Toure was driving in Dagenham in east London at the time of the offence last month.
Barkingside Magistrates Court said Toure had an alcohol reading of 75 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath - more than twice England's legal limit of 35 micrograms.
He pleaded guilty to the charge on Monday, but did not say in his Facebook statement how the alcohol got into his system.
In his statement Toure added: &q…

Incoming First Lady Melania Trump attended a routine scheduling hearing in court Monday in her defamation case against blogger Webster Tarpley and The Daily Mail who published a blog post saying that she was previously employed as a high-end escort. 
CBS News’ Paula Reid notes that it’s highly unusual for a client to attend a routine scheduling hearing, but her lawyers said she decided to do so to show her commitment to the case. It is almost impossible to win a defamation suit if you’re first lady, but Trump’s willingness to spend her time and money on the case may have a deterrent effect, preventing others from saying negative things about her.

“Mrs. Trump was not required to attend the court conference, but chose to do so, to meet the Judge, meet opposing counsel, and show her commitment to the case,” a statement said on behalf of Mrs. Trump. “Mrs. Trump looks forward to seeing the case to a successful conclusion.”

The hearing took place in Montgomery County Circuit Court …

A US man who dresses up as Santa Claus fulfilled a dying boy's Christmas wish by visiting him at his bedside, before the youngster passed away in his arms.
Eric Schmitt-Matzen rushed to a local in Tennessee hospital after receiving a call about a terminally ill five-year-old boy who wanted to see Santa Claus. 
The 60-year-old impersonator said he gave the child a present and a big hug before holding him as he died.
The boy's family watched on from the hallway as they cried, he told the BBC.
"When I felt the life go from him, I looked up, tears running down my face, and looked over at the window and that's when mom started screaming," he said.
Mr Schmitt-Matzen said he had asked family members to remain outside the room if they were going to break into tears when he arrived for the visit. 
"I have to be the happy guy that makes this kid feel great and smile and forget his worries," he said. 
"I said: 'If you're going to lose it, you hav…

The Inspector General of Police John Kudalor has called on the president elect Nana Akufo-Addo to congratulate him on his election victory.
John Kudalor also pledged his support, loyalty and that of the Police Service to the president elect who will be sworn into office on January 7, 2017.
Nana Akufo-Addo polled over 53% of the votes cast to secure a one touch victory in the presidential election.

The party also had an overwhelming majority in Parliament with 171 seats and is looking to hit the ground running.
Key on the agenda for the incoming government will be how to maintain peace after post election violence. Violence between the supporters of the NPP and the NDC led to death of one person in Cape Coast and the destruction of properties across the country.
The Nana Addo- led government will have to get a handle on the matter and must strategise with the police to solve the matter.
On his first visit to the president elect, the IGP assured Nana Akufo-Addo of the police's commi…

Note to the producers of next month’s Golden Globe Awards: Book 50 Cent as a presenter now. The star and exec producer of Starz’ Power took to social media on Monday following the announcement of the 2017 Golden Globe nominations and expressed fury over the series’ poor showing. 
“I’m on the move again,” he wrote. “I accept my series Power was not intended to be a signature show for the network, but it is the highest-rated show.”

The actor-rapper — aka Curtis Jackson — went on to say he’s “done promoting this out side of contractual obligations,” before adding that in the drama’s upcoming fourth season his drug-lord character Kanan “must die.” He then concluded: “I got other s–t to do.”

Former AC Milan and Ghana star footballer Kevin Prince Boateng has revealed how he couldn't cope with the fame of being a rich professional footballer and ended up wasting his money on cars, partying and fake friends.
Boateng, who now plays for Las Palmas in Spain, became very popular when he played for AC Milan but in a new interview has now revealed the bad sides that come with being a professional footballer.

'For me it was impossible. From one day to another you have so much money you can buy everything,' Boeteng said in an interview with Marca. 'In two years I spent all my money on cars, watches, boots, nightclubs, restaurants and friends who really were not.' 'For a guy like me, who grew up in a poor neighbourhood and had no money, it was dangerous.' 'In life it is important to recognise the bad. Thanks to the mistakes, I am what I am.' I was a very impulsive person and maybe I'm smarter now.'
