Platini was banned along with FIFA president Sepp Blatter last month over a £1.3million payment he received from FIFA in 2011. He has appealed to FIFA's appeals committee and is expected to go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport if that fails.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
UEFA's executive committee met yesterday and decided to delay any election until the outcome of that process. Platini has already withdrawn as a candidate for next month's FIFA presidential election.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Since <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/microsoft-give-update-on-new-xbox-one.html" target="_blank">Xbox One Backward Compatibility</a> released on November 12 with more than 100 playable titles, global Xbox gamers have logged more than 15 million hours playing Xbox 360 games on Xbox One.</div>

Fans, meanwhile, have been busy voting on what they thought was the most difficult exotic bounty from Year One, with an overwhelming response to one certain headache.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With over 1400 votes counted and a heap of personal stories and woes told, The Thorn triumphed with over 1100 votes, followed by Pocket Infinity, PoE weapons, Bad Juju, Invective and Super Good Advice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Light in the Dark exotic weapon bounty is obtained from Vanguard Mentor Missive and rewards players with the Exotic hand cannon, Thorn. To claim it means completing the Summoning Pit, killing Hive enemies on the Moon, Xyor, the Unwed and using Void Damage to defeat Guardians in the Crucible.</div>

WORKOUT YOUR FACE</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of us try to keep fit when we can but very few of us think of exercising the one body part that is on show all the time: our face. There are 57 different muscles in the face and if they are not kept in shape then they weaken, leading to sagging. Facial exercises are an amazing way to keep muscles strong and toned while boosting circulation. Performed regularly they will keep the face fit and give skin a radiant glow. See evafraser. com for more information.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BE POSITIVE</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Feeling low is now believed to be a contributor to ageing. A recent study showed that staying positive can help you live at least a decade longer than being a pessimist. There are simple things to try at home that can boost your mood. Regular exercise is important and you could try taking an energyboosting supplement that contains vitamin B. Eating a diet rich in omega-3s, which are found in fish and nuts, has also been shown to reduce anxiety.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
TREAT YOUR SKIN</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A professional facial isn’t just a pampering treat, it is an essential part of keeping your skin in top condition. A good therapist will be able to give you a bespoke treatment, tackling signs of ageing while advising you on skincare. We’re constantly surprised by how many women use the wrong products for their skin type. Hydrafacial, from £150 (hydrafacial.co.uk), is an excellent treatment which has been clinically proven to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation. If your budget can stretch to it aim for one treatment a month.</div>

TAKE A HIKE</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Incorporate walking into your daily life. Walk to the station, park or supermarket. A new report has revealed that people who commit to a brisk 30-minute walk every day have lower BMIs and smaller waists than gym-goers. Exercising outdoors is also an incredible mood booster, great for clearing brain fog, easing anxiety and helping you sleep better.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SWITCH OFF</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having trouble sleeping? Our constant use of technology means we are surrounded by light day and night. Most devices emit blue light which can suppress melatonin, the hormone which helps regulate sleeping and waking cycles. Switch off all electronics at least two hours before going to bed and remove devices from the bedroom, including your phone, laptop and TV. Good quality sleep is essential for all-round good health and great skin.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
SAY NO TO SUGAR Consuming sugar is not just bad news for your waistline it also causes inflammation and prematurely wrinkles skin, a process called glycation. Avoid refined and added sugars and check any packaged foods for their sugar content. Green tea has been proven to significantly slow down glycation while boosting collagen levels.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
REDUCE STRESS LEVELS</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reducing the amount of stress in your life will keep you looking and feeling younger for longer. Yoga and Pilates can help you to unwind, as can meditation. Studies show that meditation can help you recover more quickly from stressful events in your life because it allows the body to rest and improves focus and memory.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
TRY A SCRUB</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Regular exfoliation is one of the most important ways to keep your skin healthy and youthful. It evens out the skin’s texture and also fights signs of ageing, shrinks pores, prevents breakouts and minimises dark pigmentation marks. Start by using a gentle scrub such as Bioderma Hydrabio Exfoliating Cream, £10.50 (escentual.com), twice a week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
USE A NIGHT CREAM</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Get into the habit of using a wrinkle-zapping night cream. Cell regeneration doubles at night so using a product with the right ingredients means your skin will work even harder. Try Origins’ Plantscription Powerful Lifting Overnight Mask, £52 (origins.co.uk), which contains a cocktail of anti-ageing ingredients to help lift and firm.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
STAY SAFE IN THE SUN</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Use a sunscreen every day, even when it’s cloudy or rainy. Your skin will improve, you’ll look younger and it could even save your life. Statistics show that more than four in 10 cancers could be prevented if people were healthier, which includes protecting skin from sun damage and avoiding sunbeds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
AVOID SLEEP LINES</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sleeping in certain positions night after night leads to sleep lines – the wrinkles that become etched into the top layers of skin and don’t fade once you’re up and about. Sleeping on your side leads to wrinkles on the cheeks and chin, while sleeping face down gives you a furrowed brow. Try to train yourself to sleep on your back. Also make sure you change your pillowcases every few days as unwashed linen can contribute towards acne and breakouts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PRIME YOUR SKIN</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Invest in a good skin primer. These multitaskers do for your skin what good support underwear will do for your figure: flatter, smooth and conceal and leaving a flawless finish. Start by applying a thin layer after your moisturiser but before you apply foundation. Try Elizabeth Arden’s Flawless Start Instant Perfecting Primer, £28 (elizabetharden.co.uk), which features high-tech blurring technology. It will be on sale from next week.</div>

Even before the jaw-dropping box-office triumph of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, confidence in the rebooted franchise was high enough to set up a series of spin-off films.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First out of the gate in the Star Wars Anthology series is Rogue One, starring Brit beauty Felicity Jones with Forest Whitaker and Mads Mikkelson.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Set just before the original 1977 film (aka Chapter IV: A new Hope), it tells the pulse-pouding back story of the daring rebels who stole the plans for the Death Star.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You remember, the ones that Leia hid inside R2-D2 when she was captured by Darth Vader?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There will be more back stories explored in the next film in the series which will be about the direputable early days and misadventures of Han Solo and hits cinemas in May, 2018.</div>

Mia Wasikowska's Alice has been having a high old time sailing the high seas since the end of 2010's Alice in Wonderland but that's all about to change.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She returns to the fantastical realm of Underland and soon meets up with the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen), Absolem (Rickman) and the Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dear old Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) is also there - but he is not himself. Whatever that means for someone who is certifiably bonkers...</div>

The big shock is the absence of Will Smith's wise-cracking E.T. ass-whooper but his character's now grown-up son, Dylan, played by Jessie Usher, takes over hero duties alongside Liam Hemsworth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jeff Goldblum and Judd Hirsch are back as the bickering father and son, with Bill Pullman reprising his role as the former US President. Taking his place in the White House will be Sela Ward, marking director Roland Emmerich's avowed commitment to shaking up the franchise by installing a female Commander in Chief.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new teaser trailer warns us that the first film was merely a taster for the full fury that the returning aliens are going to rain down upon the Earth.</div>

Yup, forgetfulness has never been more wonderful as Ellen DeGeneres returns as the voice of everyone's favourite blue tang – although, let's face it, it's not like we have a selection of them to choose from.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finding Dory also stars the voice talents of Dominic Moore, Diane Keaton and Modern Family stars Ty Burrell and Ed O'Neill.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The brand new teaser trailer starts with Dory dreaming. As usual she's not making much sense and then things start to get emotional.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"My family," she cries. "They’re out there. I have to find them.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

This film unites some of DC Comics' worst villains in an utterly disfunctional team blackmailed by sinister government forces to do their dirty work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ben Affleck's Batman pops up for a showdown with the Joker, but this film is already all about Jared Leto's turn as the grinning goon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Margot Robbie, Will Smith and Cara Delevingne round out a spectacular cast.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;"><strong>(WARNING: The next trailer for Deadpool contains adult content sex and violence)</strong></span></div>

<strong>8. Deadpool (February 4)</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ok, so we said Suicide Squad was extreme? Just wait until you see this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The monumental failure of Fantastic Four showed that audience have no time for wishy-washy exposition and weak characters. Well, there's none of that here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ryan Reynold's Deadpool grabs you by the proverbials. Hell, he even refers to himself as looking like a giant testicle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are jaw-dropping levels of graphic violence, but also a dark and devillish wit throughout that recalls the heady early glories of Kick Ass. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are dead excited about Deadpool.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>9. Captain America: Civil War (April 29)</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More misery for our superhero chums in the latest Marvel romp. Although this is nominally a Captain America film, the huge cast makes it closer to a sequel to Avengers: Age of Ultron.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Increasingly unsettled by the rise of superpowered peeps, global governments want to impose the Sokovia Accords to control and restrict their actions. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Captain America (Chris Evans) does not agree, but Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), for once, sides with the authorities. One by one, they force all their friends to choose a side.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) back the Cap' while Black Widow (Scarlett) and War Machine (Don Cheadle) go with the metal chap.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The trailer looks like it spells the end of the Avengers and also hints at the blink and you'll miss it involvement of Spiderman.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>10. X-Men: Apocalypse (May 19)</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Is there no end to superheroes next year? Well, nope.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bryan Singer's latest outing for the mutant marvels pits them against the titular god-like ancient being.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apocalypse is so bad ass that even someone as mighty (and egotistical) as Michael Fassbender's Magneto is reduced to merley one of his Four Horsemen of the , well, you get the picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner swaps Sansa Stark for Jean Grey, opening the trailer in dramatic style with James McAvoy's Xavier, aka Professor X, while Jennifer Lawrence is back as Mystique.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It all gets so exciting that the poor Prof loses his hair... </div>
