EXCLUSIVE: A Yazidi girl who was held hostage by ISIS's chief financier Abu Sayyaf (top right) has told of the daring special forces raid on his house in Deir-ez-Zor, Syria. In the early hours of May 16, around 15 elite US troops from the Delta Force unit stormed his home (file photo, bottom right) as British SAS soldiers maintained a ring-of-steel perimeter outside to prevent any extremists from escaping. Not only did the crack team kill Abu Sayyaf and arrest his wife - who pretended to be a Yazidi sex slave - they also uncovered a treasure trove of intelligence on how the group operates.

Liberal MP and new mother Kelly O'Dwyer is asked to 'think about expressing more milk' for her newborn daughter to avoid missing votes in Parliament while breastfeeding
Kelly O'Dwyer, who returned to Parliament last month after giving birth to her daughter in May, was advised by the office of the government's Chief Whip Scott Buchholz to consider expressing more milk to avoid missing votes in the chamber. Breastfeeding mothers are given a proxy vote in the Parliament under current rules, which means their vote still counts even when they are not in the parliamentary chamber. Mr Buchholz is said to have been unaware of the rule until he asked Labor's Chief Whip, Chris Hayes, about how he should handle mothers who breastfeed.
Hungarian police fire tear gas and water cannons at migrants, sparking stampede by terrified men, women and children at Serbian border after 200 manage to force their way through razor-wire fence
As desperate men, women and children pleaded to be allowed through the newly completed razor wire fences, several hundred finally lost their patience and attempted to break through the barricades. Hungarian police responded by firing their tear gas and water cannons across the border into Serbia and charging through the gates in an attempt to disperse the crowds. The reaction triggered a stampede among the refugees, as thousands of women and children panicked at the sight of armed riot officers wearing helmets and gas masks. As a cloud of tear gas engulfed the refugees, many people were in tears trying to wash away the gas from their eyes.

Mr Pridham, who has been the Swans' boss since 2013, strongly denied whispers about 'Buddy' - some of which were related to his relationship with Jesinta Campbell (inset). 'I've heard all the rumours and I wouldn't say we investigate them, but certainly the most substantial and salacious-type rumours - I'm comfortable they're false,' Mr Pridham said.
Could you live a YEAR without cash? How one 'off the grid' couple built a home from scraps, bathe in rainwater... and dive in dumpsters for food
Rachel Newby and Liam Culbertson's house cost $120. They made it from scratch, sourcing salvaged timber and recycled materials.

Hero pet staffy Leala saves her two-year-old owner's life after finding him floating face down in a dam... and racing back to the house to bark frantically at the boy's father
Alexander Kenney was found unconscious in a family friend's dam at Nana Glen near Coffs Harbour on the NSW mid-north coast by his nine-year-old staffy Leala a fortnight ago. Leala went into the dam to try and rescue Alexander on September 5 before the drenched dog ran back to the house frantically trying to get his father David's attention. His father performed CPR for 27 minutes before being airlifted to hospital and placed in an induced coma. The toddler left doctors in disbelief 48 hours later when he started making a speedy recovery and was able to breathe on his own.

Adorable tiny goat, Billy, has taken a keen interest in kayaks and loves playing around in them on the beach (main) in Hahei, on New Zealand's North Island.

Fifty Shades of pay: Jamie Dornan 'puts his very cosy cottage in the countryside on the market for $1million'
He's earned a fortune thanks to his role as brooding hero Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise. And Jamie Dornan is seemingly hoping to up-size since the 33-year-old actor has put his Grade II listed Cotswolds cottage up for sale for a cool £500,000. The stunning property, which he shared with his wife Amelia and their one-year-old daughter Dulcie, is the perfect family pad thanks to its homely decor and sprawling garden with stunning views of the English countryside.
Watch the horrifying moment escapologist's attempt to outdo Houdini by being buried in handcuffs went horribly wrong - forcing rescuers into desperate scramble to save his life
Antony Britton (left), from Linthwaite, West Yorkshire, had hoped to go one better than Harry Houdini by escaping unaided from a standard-sized grave placed six feet under the earth. But this shocking footage shows the stuntman having to be pulled unconscious from beneath the surface (bottom right) - almost nine minutes into the escape bid - after he failed to break through. With Mr Britton just 'seconds away from death', the horrifying footage shows three rescuers desperately digging into the soil (top right) in a bid to free the escapologist. It then takes seven full-grown men to heave him into the fresh air, where a paramedic was waiting to bring him round. His failed attempt - which was carried out in front of an anxious audience at a charity event at Slaithwaite Spa - also left the stuntman with a cracked rib and several minor scratches. The people who rescued the stuntman had earlier been filmed moving soil onto his grave (inset).
Arresting good looks: Police officer shares shirtless photos of his muscular body and model face to promote healthy living (and his girlfriend is just as fit and attractive)
One New York City police officer is trying to encourage people to workout and eat healthy in a way many can appreciate - who shirtless photographs. Michael Counihan (above) uses his Instagram account - which he aptly named NoDonutsHere - to post photos of his workouts and the results of his heavy lifting and simple diet to encourage other first respondents to get in shape. As a result, Counihan, who has been on the force for eight years, has now gained a reputation as a fitness expert from people across the country - and an equally fit girlfriend (inset left)

Asali the giraffe (pictured) has embarked on a 24-hour road trip of a lifetime from Perth to Adelaide to join a female herd in an open range zoo. Her 2200km journey from Perth Zoo to Monrato Open Plain Zoo will also be a homecoming of sorts for Asali as that's where she was born. Perth Zoo also planned the route to avoid any low bridges or trees for the 4.4m giraffe, and have worked with Western Power to raise powerlines where necessary.
The witch doctor who 'proved' that zombies are REAL: The spine-tingling story of the Haitian Voodoo leader who revealed the secrets of 'zombie powder'... and given the West nightmares ever since
Max Beauvoir, the first and only 'Supreme Voodoo Chief' of Haiti, died at the age of 79 on Saturday. As head of the country's 6,000 houngans, or witchdoctors, he was credited with stopping a US invasion of Haiti and saving dozens of voodoo priests from angry lynch mobs who blamed them for a cholera outbreak. But to sci-fi an horror fans, his longest-lasting legacy was how he reinvigorated the global fascination with the living dead. He introduced a Harvard professor Wade Davis, who was obsessed by the tale of a resurrected Haitian man named Clairvius Narcisse (left), to the witchdoctors who held the secret recipe to bring people back from the dead. Local villagers, like most Haitians (right) who believe in the magical power of Voodoo, accepted the story but Western scientists and holy men were perplexed by the incident. Davis went on to write a best-selling book of his astonishing experience called 'The Serpent and the Rainbow' which was adapted into a blockbuster movie (inset).
'She seemed to care more about fame than her tiny babies': Fitness fanatic mum Sophie Guidolin attacked for 'ignoring her newborn twins' needs' during TV appearance - but experts say she's done nothing wrong
Controversial Gold Coast fitness guru Sophie Guidolin, 26, has received backlash following a Today Show interview (centre). Viewers took to Facebook to claim the 26-year-old held her newborn twins Evie and Aria incorrectly by not supporting their necks and wrongly cleaned up their spit up. Ms Guidolin gave birth to her twin girls two weeks ago (right) and has already lost 12 of the 17 kilos she gained (left). The mother-of-four, who has a legion of loyal fans on social media, first sparked controversy for her strenuous exercise regime throughout her pregnancy (inset), which critics claimed was putting her babies at risk, despite Mrs Guidolin getting her doctor's approval.
Meet the gymnastics boy wonder from Iran who performs balancing splits on TVs and climbs brick walls aged just TWO
Backwards somersaults, balancing splits and walkovers - these are moves even the most accomplished of gymnasts would be proud to pull off. But new gymnastics boy wonder Arat Hosseini, 2, from Iran, is already able to perform the complicated poses after taking up the sport when he was just nine months old. Many of his stunts are filmed in bizarre locations in the family's home in Babol in the Mazandaran Province and show him balancing on top of televisions (pictured top left), chairs (top and bottom right) or climbing up walls (bottom left).
The ultimate Koala cuddle: Three of the dozy marsupials enjoy some down time at Sydney's Taronga Zoo
Two koala 'tree mates' have been caught in a warm but unlikely embrace with one of Taronga Zoo's newest joeys. While the two females, Sydney and Milli, have been tree-mates since they were quite young and are often spotted eating or sleeping close together, TJ is one of two brand new koala joeys to emerge from the pouch this season and is Sydney's first born. The trio were caught on film earlier this week nuzzling together, despite this being 'quite unusual' behaviour for koalas.
