 Meghan's half-sister reminded the Duchess "life is short" and any opportunities to mend the wounds within her family should be welcomed

The 54-year-old former actress wished Meghan an "exciting baby shower" after growing speculations the Duchess is celebrating the American tradition in a 5-star hotel in New York's fashionable Upper East Side

But she didn't fail to take the occasion to urge Meghan once again to visit their father, 74-year-old Thomas Markle Snr

  She told the MailOnline: "Setting all personal things aside, I understand a baby shower is an exciting time – it's about getting with friends, getting things ready for the baby

 "But you are on this continent Meghan and I would just really love to see her have contact with my dad while she's here

 "Life is very short and you never know when you're going to get that opportunity again so it would seem par for the course and I hope it happens

 He later suffered from heart problems, which prevented him from travelling to the UK and walk his daughter down the aisle

 Following the wedding, Mr Markle often claimed her daughter cut him out of her life

 But in a letter sent to him by Meghan in August which was leaked by the 74-year-old, the Duchess says he "stopped answering the phone" and preferred to communicate only via tabloids

Something I will never understand. "I have only ever loved, protected, and defended you, offering whatever financial support I could worrying about your health…and always asking how I could help

 "So the week of the wedding to hear about you having a heart attack through a tabloid was horrifying

 "I called and texted… I begged you to accept help - we sent someone to your home…and instead of speaking to me to accept this or any help, you stopped answering your phone and chose to only speak to tabloids

  "If you love me, as you tell the press you do, please stop." Samantha's latest appeal comes after her brother, Thomas Markle Jr, dismissed her words as false and claimed even their father had urged her to stop "spreading lies"

 He told New! magazine: "He has even said to me 'I wish Babe would shut her mouth already and be quiet'

" Meghan's half-brother added Samantha has "always been bitter and negative" and "jealous" of Meghan

Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Madrid for the first time since joining Juventus in the summer as his side take on Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash

The Juve talisman departed Real Madrid in the summer for the Bianconeri and will hope he can help the Italian champions gain the upper hand at the Wanda Metropolitano

Atletico Madrid meanwhile currently sit second in the Spanish top flight but will hope to improve recent form where they have lost two out of their last three games

Follow all the action as it happens from the 8pm kick-off with Sportsmail's Nathan Salt

Nathan Salt  Host commentator Auto-update 19:04 Big pressure on Griezmann this evening  Juventus' attack need little introduction

Given the chance they will punish their hosts time and time again tonight.  And so the pressure lands at the feet of Antoine Griezmann, Atletico's Golden Boy having decided to stay put, snubbing the advances of an admiring Barcelona

   The stats bode well and if he steps up, there will be plenty of red and blue smiles come full-time

  18:54 TEAMS ARE IN  ATLETICO XI: Oblak (GK), Juanfran, Gimenez, Godín, Luís, Thomas, Koke, Níguez, Rodri, Costa, Griezmann  Diego Simeone has opted for a tried and tested rearguard in a bid to keep Juventus' dangerous attack stifled and quiet this evening

 The big call comes in attack themselves with Alvaro Morata only on the bench with Diego Costa preferred from the start

   JUVENTUS XI: Szczęsny (GK), De Sciglio, Chiellini, Bonucci, Alex Sandro, Matuidi, Pjanic, Bentancur, Ronaldo, Dybala, Mandzukic  Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri spoke about going strong and wanting to score goals this evening and that much is evident from his bold selection up top

 All three of Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala and former Atletico striker Mario Mandzukic have been deployed as the Old Lady go in search of vital away goals

  18:51 Picture perfect night in Madrid 18:44 ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW: Atletico vs Juventus  ADAM SHERGOLD: Atletico Madrid host Juventus on Wednesday night in one of the most intriguing Champions League last-16 ties

The Spanish club, who finished second to Borussia Dortmund in their group, have the enormous incentive that this year's final will be played in their Wanda Metropolitano stadium on June 1

But they face formidable opposition in the form of the Italian champions and runaway league leaders, who are hoping to win the trophy for the first time since 1996

Sportsmail tells you everything you need to know about the match. FULL GUIDE HERE

18:39 Positive news from Juve ace Sami Khedira  The World Cup-winning German midfielder missed the trip to Spain after tests on Tuesday saw him diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat

 While there were fears initially about how it will impact his career, Khedira provided positive news in the last few minutes which will give his team-mates a boost heading into the game

   Writing on Twitter, Khedira said: 'I've had a successful interventional therapy today in the morning with an ablation of an arrhythmogenic atrial focus

Everything went perfectly well and I will be able to get back to work after a short rest

Thank you so much for all your messages and get well wishes!  'A big thank you to Prof

F. Gaita as well. Now I'm wishing my team mates all the best for tonight's game in Madrid ✊🏽 @juventusfc @ChampionsLeague' 18:36 Team News not too far away

 It won't be long before we get a look at how the two sides line-up this evening

   Massimiliano Allegri has already confirmed Paulo Dybala will partner Cristiano Ronaldo up top and it is expected Alvaro Morata will lead the line with Antoine Griezmann for the hosts

 Robert Lewandowski looked the most lively for the German's but departed Merseyside without any goals to his name

   Ronaldo relishes the big stages, particularly in Europe, and will be well aware the main reason Juventus recruited him was to help them win their first European Cup since 1996

   Four off Messi but come full-time. he could be within touching distance of the summit

  18:07 Juventus fans soaking up some sun in Madrid  Glorious sunshine in Madrid is a good omen for Massimiliano Allegri and his players

Man City News - Sergio Aguero: Gary Lineker picks out THREE Man City players to star in Schalke sho - Duration: 3:06.

 Aguero is once again set to lead the line for Premier League champions Manchester City on Wednesday night

 Pep Guardiola's men are preparing to take on Bundesliga outfit Schalke, who finished second to Porto in Group D

 Usual host Gary Lineker will not be in the studio as BT Sport focus on the exploits of Manchester City in the round of 16

 However, Lineker agrees with the assessment that City are the favourites ahead of the first leg clash at the Veltins Arena

 And he has picked out Sergio Aguero, along with two team-mates, as being key to City's hopes of success

 "City are still going on four fronts," Lineker told i News. "Sometimes that can be too much as we saw last season

 "They still won the league and the Carabao Cup. City are strong favourites in this tie and one of the favourites for the competition

 "Sergio Aguero is firing again and some of their best players like Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva are coming back to full fitness

 "Pep Guardiola can tinker without ever having to reduce the overall quality of his side

They are in much better shape to compete this year. "They have more experience, which is the one thing you need in this competition

 "But its a knockout competition so that's why you can't judge a manager if it doesn't quite happen

 "Pep has won the Champions League twice, semi-finals a couple of times with Bayern [Munich]

 "I don't feel for one minute he'd be under pressure if he didn't succeed this year, but perceptions of him as a manager would be even greater if he were to win it with a different club

 "And he has a great chance. City have a great draw and are best placed among the English clubs to reach the quarter-finals

" City are the last Premier League side to play their Champions League round of 16 match

 Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their tie, while Tottenham beat Borussia Dortmund 3-0 and Liverpool drew 0-0 with Bayern Munich

Egypt executes nine over 2015 murder of prosecutor Hisham Barakat News Al Jazeera - Duration: 3:10.

Egypt executes nine over 2015 murder of prosecutor Hisham Barakat News Al Jazeera

Hangings carried out despite last minute plea by rights group Amnesty International for a stay of executions.

Egyptian authorities executed nine suspected members convicted of the involvement in the assassination of s top prosecutor Hisham Barakat.

The executions by hanging were carried out on Wednesday in a Cairo prison.

In November, Egypts top appeals court confirmed death sentences for the nine people convicted in then chief prosecutor Barakats murder in June 2015, when a car bomb exploded near his convoy as he drove through the capital.

An interior ministry official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to brief media, told The Associated Press the families of the men were told to pick up their bodies from a Cairo morgue.

A total of 15 people have been executed in Egypt since the start of the year.

"As these latest executions show, President [Abdel Fattah] el Sisis use of the death penalty is now a full blown human rights crisis," Reprieve Director Maya Foa said in a statement.

She noted under Sisi at least 12 juveniles have received preliminary death sentences and 1,451 have been confirmed. Torture, false confessions, and the repeated use of mass trials are now widespread in the country.

"It is shocking that these abuses continue unabated while the international community remains silent," said Foa.

Rights group Amnesty International appealed to authorities on Tuesday to halt the hangings, citing testimony by the defendants that they had been secretly arrested and tortured into confessing.

"There is no doubt that those involved in deadly attacks must be prosecuted and held accountable for their actions, but executing prisoners or convicting people based on confessions extracted through torture is not justice," said Amnestys Najia Bounaim.

"At least six men have already been executed earlier this month after unfair trials. Instead of stepping up executions, the Egyptian authorities should take steps to abolish the death penalty once and for all."

Last week, Egypt hanged three people convicted of the 2013 murder of senior police officer Nabil Farag.

The previous week, it hanged three young "political detainees" convicted of the September 2013 murder of the son of a judge, Human Rights Watch reported.

No one claimed responsibility for the 2015 attack against Barakat, but the authorities pointed the finger at members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood of overthrown President .

Since Morsis overthrow by then army chief and now President in 2013, Egypt has cracked down on Islamists who backed the countrys first democratically elected leader.

Hundreds of Morsi supporters have been sentenced to death, while the former president and top Muslim Brotherhood figures have also faced trial.

The Muslim Brotherhood was outlawed and branded a "terrorist organisation" in December 2013, just months after Morsis removal.

Many of the death sentences have been handed down at mass trials involving hundreds of defendants and lasting just days.

Man City News - Confirmed Man City XI vs Schalke: Pep Guardiola benches star against his old side - Duration: 1:35.

 Manchester City take on Schalke this evening and their starting XI has just been confirmed for the big game

 Leroy Sane has been benched against his old club by Pep Guardiola, in what will no doubt be a disappointment for him on his return to Germany

MORE: Chelsea dealt huge potential double blow ahead of cup final clash vs Manchester City Apart from that, there are few surprises from Guardiola, though there's some debate about what kind of formation the Spanish tactician is using for this game

 Known to chop and change from time to time, it looks like this could be a back three tonight, with Kyle Walker dropping in to play as one of the trio of centre-backs alongside Nicolas Otamendi and Aymeric Laporte

  This could mean Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva are almost playing as wing-backs, in what would be a very attack-minded move by City if that is indeed what they're going for

 The Premier League champions should be big favourites against Schalke, so fans will hope Guardiola isn't going a bit too gung-ho with this line up

✅ Breaking News - Uwe Rosler wants to add to Maurizio Sarri's woes - Duration: 2:47.

Malmo boss Uwe Rosler has sympathy for Maurizio Sarri's predicament as Chelsea head coach, but is confident the Swedes can compound the Italian's woes in Thursday's Europa League last-32 second leg

Anders Christiansen's late goal in last Thursday's first leg in Malmo has given the visitors a fighting chance and will make the Blues and Sarri jittery with a place in the last 16 at stake

Sarri's position is in jeopardy after the 6-0 loss to Manchester City and the fans' vilification of his methods during Monday's FA Cup defeat to Manchester United

Share this article Share Former Brentford, Leeds, Wigan and Fleetwood boss Rosler said: 'At a club like Chelsea the pressure is always on

It's all about results.'He has to live with the pressure, like we all do. Not tomorrow, but in general, I wish he comes through this difficult period and will continue

'The goal made the game really interesting for us. I know we need to score, but we can

So, see what happens.'Ross Barkley and Olivier Giroud had given Chelsea a 2-0 lead and progress appeared to be a formality before Malmo's reply 10 minutes from time

Rosler believes the goal gives Sarri a dilemma, given the need to balance the proximity of the Wembley date with City

The German, a former City striker, added: 'He wanted to kill the game off in Malmo

We got that goal. I think that annoyed him a little bit.'Malmo beat Besiktas in Turkey to secure their place in the knockout stages

They could encounter another hostile environment at Stamford Bridge, if the Chelsea fans turn on Sarri again

Rosler added: 'I've been in his situation before. It's not helpful.'But we're focusing on us

It doesn't matter who starts for them tomorrow. We have a game plan.'It's very, very difficult (but) it is possible tomorrow to get a positive result

'Iceland midfielder Arnor Ingvi Traustason is poised to join the Malmo squad on Thursday after his partner, Andrea, gave birth to a baby girl, the couple's first child
