Anthony Steele was left with a fractured skull after the small white dog darted in front of the bike, causing the lead to become entangled in the wheel. The 59-year-old, who fell from the bike, then spent three years trying to track down the owner in a bid to cover some of the rehabilitation costs involved in his recovery. It emerged that the dog was being walked through Heysham, Lancashire, by a 'little old woman in her 70s', who was looking after the dog for a friend while she was on holiday. She has now settled out of court, ahead of a planned hearing at Manchester County Court, and agreed to pay Mr Steele tens of thousands of pounds.

I'd only just introduced myself as part of a panel at Brunel University about the future of the welfare state when about 50 students stood, turned their backs in and walked out en masse, as part of a staged protest, actively encouraged by a member of the University staff who promptly tweeted his support, writes KATIE HOPKINS (right). Now I wonder if we no longer teach students how to think but what to think. Encouraged by Left-leaning tutors, students do not wish to open their minds to society. They want to hear what they have already decided is true, and seek to deride and delegitimise anyone with an alternative opinion. I am so used to students trying to discredit me with labels, I even sent Brunel a list in advance (left), spelling them in the way those ill-educated by reality might choose to do.

The video of the crash, which occurred on London's Peckham High Street, shows a pedestrian attempting to cross the road (left) and running into the path of a cyclist (top right). There is little that can be done to avoid the collision and the cyclist rides into the pedestrian (bottom right). The cyclist falls off his bike as a result while the pedestrian stumbles to the side of the road and crouches down in pain (main). The footage is comparable to an incident, which took place on Edgware Road, when an unnamed cyclist appeared to try and undertake a cab turning left and collided with the vehicle. Both clips have sparked online debates.

Harry, 31, first met Mutsu Postane at a centre for children with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho, Africa, more than a decade ago. Today, he enjoyed the warmest of reunions with Mutsu, who is now 14. The prince also met some of the other children at the Mants'ase Children's Home, where he was presented with a grey woollen blanket, traditionally worn by the Basotho people, which featured animal embroidery in bright colours (left).

George Osborne, pictured today on a building site in South Ockendon in Essex, is pressing ahead with benefit cuts which will leave 2.6million on average £1,600 worse off despite his u-turn on tax credit changes, it emerged today. The Chancellor was cheered by Tory MPs when he announced yesterday that he would not phase in £4.4billion in tax credit cuts but 'avoid them altogether'. But today the Institute for Fiscal Studies said long-term changes to the welfare system will still leave people worse off as the government rolls out the new Universal Credit system.

Recep Erdogan, left, lashed out at claims by Russia that his country buys oil from ISIS calling them slander as the fallout continues over the Russian jet, inset, that was downed by the Turkish military. It comes as Russian leader Vladimir Putin, right, complained that he has not received an apology from Turkey nor an offer 'to make up for the damages.' He added that he regretted the fact that relations between Turkey and Russia have been driven into a stalemate.

Turkey's downing of a Russian fighter jet over Syria sparked a tense diplomatic tussle and today, on the American holiday of Thanksgiving, social media reacted in the way it usually does - with memes. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the shooting down, which led to the death of one pilot, was a 'stab in the back' and would have 'serious consequences'. One shows Putin chasing Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan through a field with a hunting rifle (top right). In another, US President Barack Obama (top left) asks Putin (bottom left) what he is having for Thanksgiving, to which he replies: 'Turkey.' Another user photoshopped Erdogan's face onto Spartan king Leonidas, from the movie 300, alongside the caption: 'This is Turkey!'

Mourners have been paying their last respects to victims of the Paris terror attacks today with two memorial services taking place in France and another in Belgium to honour those killed. In St Tropez, family and friends laid Aurelie de Peretti, 33, to rest after she was brought to the service in a painted coffin, right. In northern France, inset, pallbearers carried the coffin of 33-year-old Guilluame le Dramp. While in Liege, left, there were emotional scenes at the funeral of 26-year-old Elif Dogan.

Taras Kulakov, 28, uses just his hands and concrete to open a can of tuna - no can-opener in sight. In his YouTube video, which has recently gone viral, he simply rubs the can back and forth on the slab of concrete (centre), squeezes it and the lid pops right off (right). Mr Kulakov released the video as part of his Zombie Apocalypse survival series and it has since received over 26 million views.

Owner Sian Barrett, 47, (pictured right) from Oldbury in the West Midlands, claims Presley - (left) who weighs 13 and a half stone - is terrified of smaller dogs and will run and hide when he's confronted by other pets. The enormous dog even has a cushion which he uses as a comfort blanket to stop him feeling scared at home, which he likes to carry around in his mouth. Mrs Barrett, a mother-of-two who runs a pet supplies shop, thinks that Presley's soft attitude is down to the fact that she has had him from birth and her young dog sees her as a mother figure.

A rare glimpse at a series of vintage Argos catalogues proves the department store's brochure was once the definitive way to shop. Its pages - some from as early as 1973 - were filled with classic children's toys from Cabbage Patch Dolls (right) to personal cassette players (left), telephones (centre) and lawnmowers. The photographs will likely remind adults across the country of how they used the glossy catalogue to write their Christmas lists.

Emily Hodgkin, 23, from London, tested the complimentary makeovers offered at Britain's department stores. Clockwise from left: Benefit's make-up artist gave her a faceful of slap that looked good but was too heavy; Giorgio Armani's expert was a true professional who created a natural 'summer glow'; Bobbi Brown's beauty look was well applied but the berry lipstick and gold eyeshadow were overkill; Mac's eye make-up demo left Emily feeling ready to party; Nars' make-up artist applied Emily's purple-hued 'smoky eye' only after a brief disagreement over whether she should be charged.

A grandfather who drowned his autistic nine-year-old grandson in the bath while his mother was out buying a turkey for Christmas dinner has been jailed for more than 20 years. Stewart Greene (pictured), 65, of Grimoldby, Lincolnshire, was told he will face a minimum term of 22 years in prison for killing Alex Robinson (pictured right). Sentencing Greene at Lincoln Crown Court, Judge Mrs Justice Thirlwall Dee said: 'The callousness cannot be overstated.'

The royal couple are visiting the island on a state visit with the Prince of Wales and Camilla for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. And they received a reminder of their happy times in Malta when presented with a painting (above) of Villa Guardamangia (inset), which is located near Valletta. After an official welcome at San Anton Palace, Maltese President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca presented the watercolour by local artist Edwin Galea. The picture shows the villa in its former glory, with a horse and cart outside. 'Oh look,' said the Queen. 'Guardamangia, that's very nice to have.'

Gito the orang-utan has made a remarkable recovery in the two months he has spent at a West Borneo rescue centre after he was left for dead inside a urine-soaked cardboard box. Gito is one of 20 orang-utans who have been rescued by the International Animal Rescue Organisation.

EXCLUSIVE: Model Pixie Fox, 25, from Sweden, has spent $120,000 (£80,000) on 15 surgeries in the US, and has had six ribs removed in her quest to achieve a 14-inch waist and look like a cartoon character. The surgery took place in Indianapolis last month and Pixee was back wearing a corset two days later. She works out for up to five hours a day to whittle down her waist even further. Pixee, pictured before surgery, left, and after, centre and right, has 70,000 followers on Instagram and insists she is a good role model for them. 'Those cartoon characters represent the idealisation of the female body,' she explains. 'I want to have the tiny waist, the butt, big boobs, big eyes and a really pretty face. Having my ribs removed was just another step in achieving that ideal.'

The device, created by Somerset-based Patrick Joyce (left), uses eye-tracking technology to allow him to issue commands to a computer and a 'hand' that fits over the joystick of an electric wheelchair (top right). His Eyedrivomatic device has now won a $196,000 (£128,000) prize for his system from the Hackaday Awards.

The animal has spent the last 66 years confined to a concrete enclosure, devoid of any greenery or landscape, at Inokashira Park Zoo in Tokyo, Japan.

This wedge-shaped house in Buckinghamshire has been awarded House Of The Year in the prestigious Royal Institute of British Architects (Riba) awards. Commissioned by Jacob Rothschild - the 4th Baron Rothschild - for use by his family, Flint House rises out of the ground with roofing that disappears into the sky. It was described by judges as 'a marvel of geological evolution and construction... a celebration of location, material and architectural design at its best'. The house, designed by architects Skene Catling De La Pena, sits in the grounds of Rothchild's estate at Waddesdon Manor and has been constructed using masonry and flint cladding. Estate agents estimated its value as safely above £2million.

A deleted scene from festive film Love Actually has resurfaced online showing a lesbian couple who were cut from the movie. The couple are linked to Emma Thompson's character Karen, whose son attended the school where Anne Reid's (top and bottom right) character worked.

She later dies just before Christmas in the tear-jerking scenes (bottom right).

Lee Carseldine posted the short clip to his Twitter page yesterday asking followers to remind him to 'never again to fly into Brisbane in November late at night'. The footage shows forks of lightning stabbing their way across the Australian sky during the flight.

Roy Murray, from Banff, Aberdeenshire, is selling Canterbury House, after living there for 15 years, for offers over £950,000. Most men can only dream of having their own special 'cave' where they can retreat from the world and indulge in some 'me time'. But Mr Murray's luxurious home comes complete with its own cavernous games room basement, and 'shed' the size of a tennis court, packed vintage sports cars and a fully-equipped workshop.

Demolition worker Tim Philfer walked away virtually unscathed after a towering 113-year-old smokestack fell on top of him. An experienced building site crew were trying to obliterate the century-old chimney at the former Avondale Mills smokehouse in Alabama.

The humorous and heartwarming video, filmed in an unknown location, emerged on Twitter and has attracted a number of views and comments from across the internet. The video shows the two little rodents, who enjoy a Lady and the Tramp moment (inset), facing the camera while each holding the stem of a piece of coriander in their mouths (left). Before long they have consumed most of the herb and find themselves face to face (right).

Extraordinary images show the unlikely friendship between Amur the tiger and a goat that should have been his lunch (left and right), at the Far Eastern Safari Park in Shkotovzsky, Russia. Not only has the goat managed to steal the tiger's heart, he has also muscled in on his bed, forcing the tiger to sleep on the roof of his shelter instead. Astonished keepers decided to name the goat Timur - meaning iron - in honour of its bravery.

Patrick Bradley, a New York-based food writer and founder of The Gay Foodie has penned an open letter to his parents years after they refused to attend his wedding on religious grounds. In it, he describes how his parents recited from the bible and said 'we already accept it' when he said he would stop visiting if they didn't attend.

Urban explorer Daniel Malikyar, 20,snaps breath-taking images all over the City of Angels (pictured) many of which include himself.Daniel, a student at Chapman University in Orange, California, said: 'My favourite aspect of shooting from a downward perspective at extreme heights is that I'm able to show people a perspective they've never seen before. 'These images often give viewers a sense of vertigo and tend to spark curiosity that lingers in the minds of the audience.That being said, I'm always very cautious when I shoot in dangerous conditions.What most may consider risky, typically ends up being worth it in the end,' he said.

A cyclist got the shock of his life after plunging head first into a muddy river. The man, who is believed to be called Kalio, was out for a bike ride with a friend through what appears to be a national park in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The pair were trying to cautiously cross a fast-flowing stream when they ran into difficulty.
