Canada is on full-scale terrorist alert after a gunman shot the Canadian soldier standing guard at the National War Memorial before multiple gunmen fired dozens of shots inside the halls of Parliament in Ottawa. Police have said there are 'two or three' gunmen inside the building and one of the gunmen has been killed. After Parliament was placed on lockdown, police swarmed downtown Ottawa as other shootings were reported at the Rideau Centre mall and the Chateau Laurier Hotel. Footage taken inside the Parliament building shows the terrifying moment shots were fired in the hallways. A spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Harper was safe and had been evacuated from Parliament Hill. He will make a statement about the attacks later today.

As supermarket giant ALDI opens its latest sleek $6 million store, in one of Melbourne's most exclusive beach suburbs, in Cheltenham (pictured right), writer and self-confessed supermarket snob Lucie Morris-Marr (pictured left) puts the brand (and the prices) to the test.

The cafe owner who BANNED noisy children from her eatery despite being a mother herself - and business has never been better (but the babycino brigade is frothing mad)
The Little French Cafe in Broadmeadow, Newcastle in New South Wales, asked customers not to bring unruly kids into the establishment because management was sick of parents allowing their children to treat the business 'like a formula one track.' Owner Jodie Morris (left), who is herself a single mother, said the response had been overwhelmingly positive, despite some complaints from parents who felt discriminated against by the decision. Despite the backlash, Ms Morris is unrepentant, saying she had worked too hard to build her business to see customers driven away by parents with no control over their kids. 'If you are looking for a cafe with a children's menu, baby chinos, a play area, lounges for your children to jump on, vast space for your prams, an area for your children to run rampant, and annoy other customers, whilst you are oblivious to them - then the short answer is no we are not child friendly,' she wrote in a blistering post on Facebook.

'The only just punishment in this case is death': Prosecution insists Jodi Arias should be executed for killing her ex-boyfriend and shows grisly new crime scene pictures
The murderer appeared in court on Tuesday (left) as the jury was sworn in Phoenix, Arizona.

Her defense lawyer warned the jury that it will see graphic evidence about the killing and relationship between Arias and victim Travis Alexander (below right).

How far would YOU go to cover up for a friend who had committed murder? Secret camera experiment reveals how ordinary people are prepared to hide evidence and lie to police to protect their pals
Using actors posing as police, hidden cameras, and rooms wired up with secret microphones, each person was lured to a central London location and told that the friend, who was in on the plot, desperately needed their help. They were told there had been a violent incident the night before, directed to a 'bloody' shirt, and asked to hide it - with all of the four doing so with barely a second thought. The real test comes when 'police' knock on the door, asking for the whereabouts of their loved one. While each lies to say they don't know - two of the prank victims make a break for the stairwell when the fake officers tell them they need to be taken in for questioning.

The budget Royals: Middleton family spotted flying from Scotland on a low-cost airline (but they did shell out an extra $22 for speedy boarding)
Pippa Middleton, 31, and her parents Carole and Michael (left) were spotted boarding a budget easyJet flight from Inverness Airport in the Scottish Highlands to London's Gatwick Airport yesterday. The Middletons, who could be seen getting on the budget airliner with hand luggage yesterday, may have opted for the cheap travel option but decided to fork out $22 each for priority boarding.

'Justice has NOT been done - only Oscar knows the truth': Reeva Steenkamp's parents hit out as athlete faces just 10 months in jail for killing their daughter
Pistorius, 27, known as the Blade Runner, was yesterday jailed for five years for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp (right), 29, but could be out of prison in one-sixth of the time. The sentence has been criticised by some as too lenient and sparked calls for it to be increased. Miss Steenkamp's parents, June and Barry (centre), said they accepted the sentence and 'don't want revenge' or for the double-amputee (left) to 'suffer with his disabilities' while prison.
Bit of a fairy tale? Mother claims she has footage of real life tinkerbell after hearing something go bump in the night
Lucia Cordaro, 37, is convinced that her security system, set up outside her home in Chester, has captured a clear image of one of the tiny mythical winged creatures flitting past the lens. She said she was getting in to bed when she heard a noisy motorbike revving outside her house. After creeping downstairs to investigate the commotion, the mother-of-one heard a bang and thought that somebody had hurled a missile at her window. But when she looked at the CCTV footage on her laptop she was shocked to see what she thought was a tiny tinkerbell flying past the camera.
Woman who was 'horrified' by her overweight reflection loses 32 KILOGRAMS by hitting the gym - and transforms her body from flabby to seriously fit
Yvonne Asare, 31, from Wallington in Surrey, reached size 18 amid the breakdown of her marriage in 2010. After an embarrassing incident in a shop changing room, in which she was confronted with her overweight frame, she became determined to slim down and eventually dropped down to the 59.5kg, size eight she is today.
How far would YOU go to cover up for a friend who had committed murder? Secret camera experiment reveals how ordinary people are prepared to hide evidence and lie to police to protect their pals
Using actors posing as police, hidden cameras, and rooms wired up with secret microphones, each person was lured to a central London location and told that the friend, who was in on the plot, desperately needed their help. They were told there had been a violent incident the night before, directed to a 'bloody' shirt, and asked to hide it - with all of the four doing so with barely a second thought. The real test comes when 'police' knock on the door, asking for the whereabouts of their loved one. While each lies to say they don't know - two of the 'marks' make a break for the stairwell when the fake officers tell them they need to be taken in for questioning.
'Stop the divorce or I'll kill our children': Florida father shot his three kids then committed suicide after wife refused to reconcile marriage
A stay-at-home dad in Florida who shot dead two of his children and wounded a third (right, with their mother) before killing himself was in the midst of a nasty divorce from his wife and had told her to call if off or he would go after their kids. According to wife Cynthia Mohney's lawyer, David Mohney (left) told her on the morning of the murders, 'If you don't come back to me and stop the divorce, I will kill our children.' He then reportedly punched her in the mouth at their Port Orange, Florida, home, and added, 'If you're going to take my kids away, you will not have them and you will go through the rest of your life without children.'

Stunning cliffs, 'super-cool' Hobart and a colourful convict past: How Tasmania became the only destination to make Lonely Planet's Top 10 for 2015 (despite being left off maps of Australia)
Tasmania is now outshining the rest of Australia when it comes to being a recommended tourist destination.

The Beowulf climb at Coles Bay (top right), the historic Port Arthur penal settlement (top left), the orange-hued Bay of Fires (bottom right) and the vibrant capital city Hobart (bottom left) are just some of the sites treasured by tourists. 'The visitor numbers are now pretty much double the population of the state,' a Discover Tasmania spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia.

Husband, 100, dies 28 HOURS after his wife of 73 years... and the last thing he did was whisper 'call me home' as she faded away
Helen Auer, from Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away peacefully at home last Wednesday at age 94.

What is the world's oldest wooden statue trying to tell us? Etchings on haunting seven-faced Shigir Idol 'could hold a message to modern man'
Scientists are closer to dating the Shigir Idol, found in 1890 in Kirovgrad, Sverdlovsk region, in the Ural Mountains, which contains secret encrypted codes written around 9,500 years ago. The haunting Shigir Idol is twice as old as the Egyptian pyramids and was preserved 'as if in a time capsule' in a peat bog. Russian experts now say the remarkable relic contains encoded information on the 'creation of the world'. While the messages remain 'an utter mystery to modern man', the Russian academic said its creators 'lived in total harmony with the world, had advanced intellectual development, and a complicated spiritual world'. German scientists are close to a precise dating - within five decades. The results are likely to be known in late February or early March
