Looking tanned and relaxed - and sporting her much talked about new fringe - the Duchess of Cambridge arrived back at work on Thursday. Kate, 33, was at the Anna Freud Centre in North London to learn more about how it is helping to change mental health care for children and young people on her first engagement since taking the summer off to spend with her young family. Looking slim in a checked £1,245 Ralph Lauren shirtdress, Kate's funky new fringe was on full display as she chatted to staff on her arrival at the centre. Sources say that her decision to visit the site is significant and will set the tone for much of her work in the coming months. Kate will also visit another nearby centre, The Family School, a charity sponsored by the Anna Freud Centre, which has more than 60 years' experience of working with children suffering from serious emotional and behavioural issues.
Married woman gave birth in secret and left the baby abandoned outside block of flats because she didn't want her husband to know the boy was result of an affair
Leigh-Anne Varley, 36, pictured right, from Horden, County Durham, successfully hid her pregnancy and after giving birth in her bathroom left the child outside a block of flats, left, where it was found by a dog. The healthy child, named Jack by midwives, was discovered at around 5am and was treated at the local hospital. Varley was worried about splitting up her family if her husband found out and did not want to ruin a 'dream trip' to Disneyland that the family had planned, the court heard. Today Varley, who has another six-year-old son, walked free from court after she was handed a 14 week suspended sentence after pleading guilty to child neglect.

Wine bar is fined £100,000 after serving free liquid nitrogen cocktail to girl at her 18th birthday party who had to have her stomach removed
Gaby Scanlon, now 20, (left outside court today) started vomiting moments after downing a shot of Jagermeister laced with the gas at her birthday party.

Today the bar, owned by Andrew Dunn, (inset) was fined £100,000 and ordered to pay a total of £40,000 in costs. In a statement outside Preston Crown Court Miss Scanlon said: 'I would never have touched the drink if I'd known what it would do and I would urge other people to avoid them, it's just not worth the risk. If there's even the smallest chance that the same thing could happen to someone else, then these drinks shouldn't be served at all.'

Now Croatian riot police are sent to deal with migrants after 6,000 arrive in the country in 24 hours, as Hungary faces condemnation for using tear gas to disperse crowds at its border
Over the past 24 hours more than 6,000 refugees have entered Croatia via its eastern border - the new migrant route of choice after Hungary sealed its southern frontier with Serbia. This morning police attempted to control growing crowds of refugees at the Croatian border town of Tovarnik (main image), as thousands of migrants jostled to board buses. The refugees are increasingly running out of route options in eastern Europe, however, as all the blue-coloured borders shown on the map indicate the presence of strict border controls, while Hungary's soon-to-be-built razor-wire fences are coloured yellow.

British couple say they were sprayed with SEWAGE during holiday from hell at Cuban resort - and were told 'it is good for the flowers' when they begged staff to turn the sprinklers off
Nadia Lonsdale and her husband Dave (pictured together bottom right), from Brighton, East Sussex, had paid £3,300 for the two week, all inclusive stay at the Paradisus Rio De Oro in Guardalavaca, Cuba. But after emerging from their ground floor room they say they were hit with an 'horrendous stench' from liquid being spread around the lawns. Staff said the spray was 'good for the flowers' and refused to switch it off - despite guests having to brave a 'mist' of fine water drops as they headed out for breakfast. The hotel's official photos of the grounds (top right) seemed at odds with 31-year-old Mrs Lonsdale's holiday snaps which showed brown patches of grass, building work (centre), broken pathways, rubble at the poolside and litter on the beaches (bottom left). After a trip to the beach, Mr Lonsdale, 57, was bitten nearly 300 times by sand-flies (top left).Travel agent Thomas Cook said staff did everything they could to address the couple's concerns, but have vowed to investigate further.

Historic estate where the 1605 Gunpowder plot was conceived to blow up Parliament goes up for sale for £19million
The Ashby St Ledgers estate in rural Northamptonshire was once owned by Catholic rebel Robert Catesby, who masterminded the infamous assassination attempt in 1605. At the time, the estate included Ashby St Ledgers Manor, situated in the heart of the village, a second magnificent house, Ashby Lodge, which was built around 1722 but was demolished in the 1920s, and now only its stable cottage (top left) remains. Catesby (centre) and his fellow conspirators were based at the manor as they hatched the scheme which Guy Fawkes would later try - and fail - to execute. Though the manor house is no longer part of the estate, two farmhouses (top right), dozens of outbuildings (bottom left) and acres of land (bottom right) still offer plenty to potential buyers.
