"Listen, there are people that are coming down the pilot ladder of the prow. You go up that pilot ladder, get on that ship and tell me how many people are still on board. And what they need. Is that clear? You need to tell me if there are children, women or people in need of assistance. And tell me the exact number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, that you saved yourself from the sea, but I am going to... I'm going to make sure you get in trouble. ...I am going to make you pay for this. Go on board."

bullet 'World's worst dressed WAG' rivals supermodels in strapless black bikini corner

Once hailed as 'the world's worst dressed WAG', Andriy Voronin's wife Yulia looked smoking hot in a strapless black bikini as she frolicked around on Miami Beach.

The mother of two showed off her enviable sun kissed figure in the waves while still maintaining her womanly curves.

The couple currently live in Moscow, as Andriy plays for the Russian team and the couple have been enjoying their annual winter break holiday in Florida.

The footballer and his blonde bombshell made the move at the beginning of 2010 when the 31-year-old Ukranian player transferred to Dynamo Moscow from Liverpool FC.

During their stint in England, Yulia had become infamous for her fashion sense, as she often stepped out in brash outfits.

She had developed a taste for dire fashion, frequently stepping out in garish shell suits and the infamous 1,000 pounds leopard print Dolce and Gabbana velour ensemble.

However, she had at that time defended her clothing, by saying that all stars sported leopard print.

"I love this tracksuit and I shall wear it many times in the future. All the stars wear leopard print.

"The Brits are horrendously conservative. Of all the colours, they like only black and grey," she had said.

However, since moving to Russia, the former law student appears to have ditched her wardrobe choices for sleeker and nicer outfits. (ANI)

We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of Miami news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.

This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The Miami Mirror is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of Miami.

We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a Miami weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the Miami Mirror is for you.

Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories.
