This spring, in the space of seven weeks, the two-mile route across the easily navigated Aegean Sea has become the new back door to European Union countries. So many migrants have slipped into the small Greek island that its 30,000 population is struggling to cope amid rising fears that disgruntled tourists will begin boycotting the idyllic holiday destination, a long-time favourite of Britons. The new - and very unwelcome - arrivals sleep under trees in the park, on sun loungers at the beach, and on the ground by the police station. Or they take their chances at a dirty, makeshift camp, set up in a derelict hotel close to Lambi beach where the traffickers' inflatable dinghies creep in each dawn with their next load of human cargo. Pictured left, fully clothed migrants walk past sunbathing tourists in bikinis and right, holidaymakers push their luggage through a group of migrants.

Amanda Holden lavished attention on the Britain's Got Talent contestants, but that's only part time - her full-time job is making sure there's plenty left for her. Here's a peak at some of the shameless headline-grabbing stunts she's pulled over the last year or so and some of the eye-catching outfits she's sported too. The BGT judge has bveen showing viewers for some time now that she's the star of the show

The reason behind Jed Allen's (pictured above, inset) transformation, from the boy who doted on his sister to the maniac who murdered her, can be found in his harrowing background growing up in Oxfordshire. As well as knifing to death six-year-old Derin (pictured above, left), he also murdered his mother, 48, and stepfather,44. One couple close to the killer revealed that the 21-year-old was 'not a bad lad' growing up, but that he was 'made bad.' It has been revealed he only enjoyed a short period of normality in his brutal short life. His mother, Janet Jordon (pictured above, right), was a recovering alcoholic who was described as a 'Jekyll and Hyde' character. She went on to have four children by four different fathers.

In his first interview since securing his fifth term as FIFA president, Sepp Blatter (centre and inset) revealed he has a secret plan to improve FIFA's image amid allegations of widespread bribery and corruption. But nothing will be revealed until tomorrow morning when he will hold a meeting of FIFA's executive committee - who should be prepared for some 'surprises'. After celebrating his win over Prince Ali bin al-Hussein with his girlfriend Linda Barras (right) and daughter Corinne (left), he suggested he could fix FIFA's tarnished reputation after the 'tragic events' which have plunged FIFA into turmoil this week. The US Department of Justice has charged 14 people - including nine FIFA officials - over alleged bribes totalling almost £100million paid for television rights, sponsorship deals and World Cup votes.

These are ponds - existing or man-made -kept clean by plants with natural filters such as shingle and a pump that constantly circulates the water so it never becomes stagnant. Maintained properly, the ponds should be as clear as a mountain lake and as pure as bottled mineral water. The natural pools have been popular in Germany and Austria since the 1980s, but weren't introduced in Britain until 1999. We have been slow to take the plunge, but interest has recently soared.

With its sprawling gardens and tranquil setting, his home once provided a rare oasis of calm among London's busy streets. But it appears Tom Conti (inset with wife Kara) has finally lost patience in his battle to halt the numerous building developments which he claims are blighting his leafy North London suburb. The actor, who was engaged in a long planning dispute with ex-footballer neighbour Thierry Henry, has now put his Hampstead mansion (left) on the market for £17.5million - 30 years after he bought the five-bedroom property for £165,000. Pictured, an upstairs recreation room (top right) and reception room downstairs (bottom right).

Within weeks - maybe days - The Duchess of York's former aide and confidante, who has served 14 years in jail for killing her boyfriend, will be free. Jane Andrews, who worked for Fergie for nearly eight years, has been recommended for parole. It should be a moment of relief for the Duchess, who once adored Miss Andrews. Instead, what happens next could turn into her worst nightmare. With no home, no job and the prospect of an extremely chilly future as she tries to reintegrate into society, the murderous former royal aide, now 48, will, it is feared, be more than tempted to write her long-awaited memoirs. They could reveal, once and for all, the secrets in the Duchess's life which have for so long evaded the public gaze.

A Pakistani test cricketer has claimed that rubbish collection in England is worse than in his home country after council bosses refused to give him a bin. Rao Iftikhar Anjum, 34, said he was left 'baffled' when he was told to let household waste accumulate in his garden because of a backlog in requests for wheelie bins. The former international player said the 'unbelievable' advice in a supposedly developed country has forced him to start taking his family's bin bags to his cricket club.

Matisse the border collie (pictured right and left with owner Jules O'Dwyer) does circus acts. He also opens cupboards, can count, will help you out of your jacket and give you a high five. And the fact he has eyes like George Clooney is obviously a bonus. The seven-year-old pooch's jaw-dropping act and natural charm has already won him and his owner a coveted place in the Britain's Got Talent final this weekend, and bookmakers have them among the favourites to win.

The feud between Susan Roche, 48, (pictured right) and her father's 64-year-old girlfriend, Angela Marcantonio (left), was played out in court as they traded insults over the incident in the grounds of the family's mansion. Miss Marcantonio had been written out of Robert Howey's (inset) will only days before the altercation after he allegedly became dejected by her pestering him about how much of his fortune she would inherit.

After the Daily Mail was inundated with letter complaining about the self-service machines at the Post Office, Quentin Letts was dispatched to the High Street Kensington branch to find out just how bad it was. And the look on his face will no doubt tell you all you need to know about a system which is supposed to save the customer time - not leave them baffled and more than a little frustrated.

Incredible footage shows dozens of people (pictured) running out of nearby restaurants and cafes in Walthamstow, east London, to help lift the double decker bus off the stricken unicyclist.

Pictured inset is the scar after an operation to remove 90 per cent of the tumour.

Unbelievable photographs taken during the crazy 14 hour flight between Amsterdam and Nevada, part of the Gumball 3000 motor rally, show a passenger completely stripping off and parading the aisles (left) before passing out of the aeroplane's floor. Meanwhile the other hedonistic passengers drank large amounts of vodka, smoked openly (right) and had a pillow fight. Incredibly, after the flight landed the rally continued - with passengers getting behind the wheels of their cars to carry on the rally and drive for four hours from Reno to San Francisco.

Georgia Marrison, 18, (far left) from Rotherham died of stomach cancer after doctors said she was only losing weight because she 'wanted to be a stick insect'. Her weight plummeted by two stone and she was consistently vomiting and falling ill, but medics told her worried family the symptoms pointed to severe anaemia. The aggressive cancer went undiagnosed for five months and when was eventually admitted to hospital, doctors found she had cancer in her eye and ovaries and she had contracted meningitis. Now her mother Joanne (pictured together left) is calling for 'Justice for Georgia' in an effort to alert other parents to the warning signs of cancer in teenagers.

At least two tornadoes hit Britain today, terrifying residents in South Wales and Somerset. Mark Davis, pictured top right, is one of those left counting the cost after the two-minute twister struck the village of Binegar, near Wells, on Friday afternoon. Mr Davis believes the damage to his garage, greenhouse and roof (inset) is likely to cost him somewhere in the region of £2,000.

Up to 70 youngsters ransacked the £300,000 house (bottom left) at a party in Childwall, Liverpool, turning over every room (one, bottom right) where they smashed furniture - and stole a £20,000 BMW from the driveway. Joanne Chellew and her four children returned from a holiday in Egypt to find the trail of destruction, including a smashed bathroom (top right), graffiti daubed walls and 'hippy crack' in the bedroom (top right). Images of youngsters at the party have also emerged (inset). Four pupils from the prestigious St Edward's College were arrested by police investigating the damage in January and have been bailed.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Charles Solomon slammed the woman as he sentenced her for trying to justify her actions and showing a complete lack of remorse in the years since the crime.

The Killantringan lighthouse (top left) helped ships navigate the treacherous North Channel between Scotland and Northern Ireland for a century. But it was decommissioned in 2007 - and the two humble keeper's cottages adjoining the lighthouse were turned into plush residences. The cliff-top properties, nestled on a headline near Portpatrick in Dumfries and Galloway, are now up for sale for the first time in eight years. The two-storey Light Keeper's House has six bedrooms, with its living room and kitchen on the first floor to make the most of the views. Meanwhile the Lighthouse Cottage has a further three bedrooms, one sitting room, a kitchen and a conservatory. Pictured: The living room (top right), the view of the sea (bottom right), the kitchen (bottom left) and a bedroom (centre).

This is the amazing Masai giraffe who has survived in the Serengeti National Park for the past five years despite suffering a broken neck in a fight with a rival animal over the attentions of a female mate. The animals push each other in a bid to show who is strongest. Normally giraffes who suffer broken necks either starve or get eaten by predators, but this specimen has appeared to have thrived, despite the injuries.

Most of us will admit to being glued to our mobile phones, but this motorcyclist has taken his obsession to another level. A man has been pictured calmly playing on his mobile phone after being knocked from his motorbike in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, in southern China. His insistence of remaining sprawled across on the crossroad playing on his mobile phone caused major traffic disruptions.
