Jeanette Barrington, 56, (left, and right outside court) crept up to Steven Newton's bedside at their home in Worsley, Greater Manchester (inset), took out her own styling scissors and gave him a haircut. The 57-year-old, who was dressed only in his pyjama bottoms, broke free but was assaulted with the sharp tool before being pushed downstairs by the mother-of-four. He fled the house and jumped in his car but only got as far as the end of the road before realising his tyres were flat and took refuge at a neighbours house. Barrington admitted assault and criminal damage and was handed a six month prison sentence, suspended for two years.

Claire Shepherd, 27, from Swansea, was shocked to discover that the body art on her hand and wrist made her ineligible for a job with Dee Set even though she had already been hired. She took to Facebook to vent her anger after the company 'discriminated' against her over her inking. She has since taken a role at retail brand B&M; instead.

The horrific crush, which also left hundreds wounded, happened when two giant waves of Muslims collided at an intersection near a holy site in Mina. Saudi health Minister Khaled al-Falih blamed victims for the disaster for failing to follow instructions, adding: 'This type of accident could have been avoided. However, this is God's will.' But pilgrims and Muslim groups hit back at the claims, accusing Saudi authorities of creating fatal bottlenecks by closing two roads being used by hundreds of thousands of worshippers.

It takes a brave - or foolish - woman to stand next to a rival almost half your age, especially when she's just taken your crown as the UK's highest paid supermodel. So, at 41, Kate Moss was perhaps unwise to pose next to her fresh-faced successor, Cara Delevingne, 23, at a fashion event in Milan this week. So how has Kate's face changed since she exploded into the British fashion world as a teenager (inset) in 1988 - before Cara was even born?

The luxury car, worth around £45,000, was trapped underneath a delicatessen business's white van after a crash near Manchester's Piccadilly Station this morning. When police reached the crash site they found the van, used by Chorlton-based delicatessen and bakery firm Barbakan Deli perched aloft the red Cayman, with its wheels high in the air.

Nigel Farage insisted he was not 'deserting' Ukip as supporters mobbed him at the party's conference at Doncaster racecourse this morning - including one woman with a tattoo of the party leader. Kerrie Webb (left), who claimed Ukip would win the next election in 2020, met Mr Farage, with the Ukip leader describing her tattoo as 'extraordinary'. The Ukip leader claimed that Britain now had a 50/50 chance of leaving Europe, as the party's annual conference gets under way in Doncaster. Mr Farage insisted he would not 'desert' Ukip, but he said the poll on the UK's future in the EU would take up all his energy as he described his growing confidence in a so-called Brexit. He said: 'I used to think we had 33 per cent chance of winning but now I think it is 50 per cent.'

Martin Lewis caused the damage to Simon and Elizabeth Meaton's garden in Sevenoaks, Kent, on August 12, 2013. The 60-year-old demolished part of the £800,000 property's fence, destroyed its shed and chicken house (right), and bulldozed trees, plants and flowers (left) during the sustained attack, which began while Mrs Meaton was in the shower. Lewis admitted one charge of criminal damage at Maidstone Crown Court and was sentenced to two months in prison, suspended for one year. He was also ordered to pay £9,000 in a civil court hearing last October for the damage, including interest and costs. Pictured: The garden before the incident (inset left) and the JCB Lewis used (inset right).

Stores across Australia were the first to start selling the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus (Sydney bottom left), followed by London (top right), Germany (Munich bottom left) and France (Paris bottom right). The phone goes on sale at 8am in the respective time zones. In Sydney, a woman used a robot to queue in her place so she could carry on working and not have to camp out in the rain.

Officers stripped down the BMW saloon in the coastal city of Melilla after noticing it was being driven by two young men they suspected of being people smugglers. Police said that during their search they detected the sound of a heart beat coming from under the engine. Investigating further, the officers discovered a 19-year-old Guinean man who was described as being in 'a very bad physical state'.

SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE: The Duchess of Cambridge's sister Pippa Middleton, 32, was spotted enjoying a lunch in Fulham on Tuesday with banker Alex Loudon, 35, whom she dated for three years before separating 2011 (pictured inset left in June of that year). Only four days before, she and current beau Nico Jackson, 36, were photographed in a tender embrace in North London. Her lunch date (main and inset right) also follows recent public forays with her other ex, James Matthews, including holidaying with him at his parents' resort in the Caribbean.

Kay Bishop, 56, glued her bottom to the window of a Debenhams in Croydon, south London, dressed in a nude bra and pubic wig, to protest against 'the treatment of police and migrants'. The former stripper claims she had to super glue herself to the department story on Croydon high street to prevent police from stopping her protest. However, Ms Bishop, from Addiscombe, south London, was told by officers attending the scene that her actions were unnecessary as they had no intention to forcibly move her.

A new book reveals Nazi Germany's Gestapo were not as mindless as we imagine. The majority in senior positions had been ambitious young middle-class law graduates. Some held doctorates. According to author Frank McDonough, the high ranks of the Geheime Staatspolize resembled a university senior common room more than a roughneck police station. Some, like Adolf Eichmann (top right), perhaps the most notorious Gestapo officer of all, were properly sentenced, but others - including Dr Werner Best (bottom right), endured a short jail sentence before taking highly paid jobs in West German companies. Many escaped justice entirely.

Pope Francis was greeted by thousands of adoring well wishers as he arrived in New York and made his way to St Patrick's Cathedral to lead evening prayers. The next stage of the Pope's whirlwind tour of America saw him driven through the streets of Midtown, Manhattan, in his Pope Mobile as worshipers who had waited for hours to get a glimpse of him screamed with delight. A huge motorcade of police cars, ambulances and Secret Service vehicles escorted the Pontiff as he made his way along a packed 5th Avenue to the Cathedral. Tremendous choir music rang out and worshipers cheered as the Pope entered, stopping to bless a wheelchair-bound girl and accept a bouquet of flowers from one of the hundreds inside. He used his touching sermon to send his sympathies to the families of several hundred Muslim pilgrims killed in a stampede today during Hajj in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, offering prayers to his 'Islamic brothers and sisters'.

Rosemary Kennedy, the eldest daughter of Joseph and Rose, had her life destroyed because of the fear and ignorance of her father. Joe wanted her out of sight as his pushed his son toward the presidency, hiding her away in convents and sanitariums. The radical experimental surgery on his 23-year-old daughter was based on a misdiagnosis. She was not mentally retarded as Joe was told by a ruthless and irresponsible doctor but learning disabled. Rosemary spent more than 50 years living in a Wisconsin hospital cared for by a nun when she could have been treated with therapy. There are no photos of her brothers JFK or Bobby visitng their sister after her surgery.

Twelve weeks ago, Chloe Dunstan (bottom left), from Perth, Australia, gave birth to triplets after being forced to make a heart-wrenching decision: give birth early and risk her babies' lives or continue her pregnancy and lose her baby girl. At just 28 weeks the mother welcomed Henry, Rufus and Pearl (right) in to the world who, despite their early start to life, defied the odds to make it home before their due date September 22.

Lilli Hymowitz, 16, has more than 10,000 followers on Instagram, where she documents her lavish lifestyle. The New York teenager, who is only a junior in high school, regularly posts photos of herself partying at clubs, drinking and showing off her four tattoos.

James Sherry, 37, from Leytonstone, lived off pub lunches and takeaways and suffered from health 'burnouts' until he employed personal trainers who helped him shift 15 per cent of his body fat in just 12 weeks. He said he looked like he was 'done' with life, but now friends tell him he looks 10 years younger.

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: Officers had been responding to a 911 call that someone had attempted to shoot themselves, when they arrived to find Jeremy McDole 'still armed with a handgun.' Cops then opened fire on McDole, who was paralyzed from the waist down after being shot by a friend aged 18, after repeated requests for him to 'drop the gun.' The incident, which took place in a Wilmington street, Delaware on Wednesday afternoon was caught on camera by stunned witnesses who uploaded it to You Tube. The 1-minute-and-19-second-long clip opened with an officer, armed with a shotgun, shouting for the wheelchair-bound McDole to 'show his hands.'

From swelling crowds, including children, on the Gaza Strip (left), through rites in Malaysia, Pakistan (top right) through to China and Europe, worshippers came together in what is known as a commemoration of Allah's mercy, based on a story in the Koran where he spared the prophet Ibrahim's son from death.

John Sain (pictured), 50, of Boise, Idaho last week broke both his legs in the wilderness and contemplated suicide and wrote goodbye letters to his wife Jennifer (top left) and his children (bottom left) before he was saved by two motorcyclists. He had a little food, a water purifier and a small survival kit, and he built a fire each night for warmth. But on Sunday - four days after his ordeal began - Sain was dehydrated, in pain and starting to break down. That's when two motorcyclists found him and summoned emergency crews (top right).

An investigation at farms in Italy, Greece, the Czech Republic, Poland and Cyprus found animals covered in sores and in such distress that they chewed off each other's ears. The rabbits are treated with such appalling cruelty that many simply die in their cages (bottom right). While many are kept in cruel cramped conditions (left) smaller rabbits often fall through the sharp metal bars on the floor of their cages, after which they are left to starve to death in the squalid sewage pit below (top right).

Depp and Heard took part in a joint effort charity initiative between the Starkey Hearing Foundation and Hollywood Vampires, Depp's band he is touring South America with. At one point during the initiative - which gave out 200 hearing aids to children and adults in Rio de Janeiro with hearing difficulties - Heard broke down while helping out a 32-year-old woman, Daniele Lopes. The group of people was then taken to the Rock in Rio concert, where they were able to hear music properly for the first time.

These terrifying designs are part of the latest Halloween craze sweeping social media as artists swap out their traditional costumes for paints and brushes. They may be a cheap alternative to a trip to the costume shop, but these mind-bending works of art take hours to complete. And they certainly deliver on the creep-factor. In one picture, a terrifying zombie's green skin appears to be rotting and splitting - exposing her bloody teeth underneath. While in another, a carefully painted battery holder under the skin gives the wearer a robotic appearance. In one, a girl is given a second set of eyes, all with the flick of a paintbrush.

Toast the Cookbook by Raquel Pelzel is a beautiful ode to bread and the myriad ways it can be jazzed up with recipes for toppings such as (clockwise from top left)@ fried chicken; lemongrass kiwi; chopped liver; aubergine and capers; honeyed beetroot; and Bubble & Squeak.

The celebrated London bus was used to transport thousands of troops to and from the Western Front, including at the Battle of Loos in northern France, which started 100 years ago today. This less familiar side of the Great War is revealed today in an extraordinary collection of photographs, which show the London buses that were adapted for use on the front line. More than 1,000 of the vehicles were sent from the capital and across the Channel after being adapted for use on the front line. As well as carrying troops these versatile chassis of B-type buses were also converted into ambulances, lorries and even lofts for carrier pigeons - and only 250 returned to Britain in 1918.

Poor productivity costs employees and the economy huge amounts of money every year. Now, a Greek designer has come up with a desk-bed hybrid that may solve the problem. The '1,6 S.m. of Life' work station is a roomy white desk with a comfortable-looking sleeping area underneath it. (Pictured: The 1,6 S.m. of Life desk bed as it transforms to reveal a sleep station)
