'His smile, expertise and camaraderie will be missed,' Roker said.

For many, the weekend extends into Monday because of closed schools and government offices.

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: Jason Pierre-Paul has shared a photo taken shortly after the July fireworks accident that almost took his entire hand and ended his NFL career. The New York Giants star is seen in a complete daze in the photo as he lays in a hospital bed while trying to keep his mangled hand elevated to stop the bleeding caused after a firework exploded in his hand on July 5, 2015 while he was in Florida. After many surgeries doctors were eventually able to save his hand, but forced to amputate his right index finger and parts of some of his other fingers, which caused his thumb to lose mobility. Despite this, he still managed to return to the field, being placed on the active roster by the Giants in Week 9 of the season.

Arish Singh (right, protesting, and bottom left), a comedian and writer from Iowa City, said he unfurled a flag saying 'Stop hate' and shouted at Trump (top left) because he wanted to protest over his rhetoric and highlight claims that white supremacists are making robocalls in favor of his campaign.

Hillary Clinton's top aide Huma Abedin and her husband Anthony Weiner take center stage in a new documentary, previewed at Sundance yesterday. It was made during Weiner's calamitous run for NY mayor. The couple were invited to see the movie before its release but director tells Daily Mail Online 'they said they didn't want to see it.' It's no wonder. Weiner almost comes to blows with a Jewish voter who calls him a 'scumbag' during a campaign stop and threatens to 'kick the a**' of MSNBC talk host Lawrence O'Donnell.. The candidate appears more irritated over the fact that that cameras reveal his bald spot. Watching a TV report of seedy revelations about her husband's continued sexting, Huma shakes her head in disgust. Weiner manages to avoid a confrontation at MacDonald's with phone sex partner Sydney Leathers in Operation Pineapple. Filmmakers insist they were not pressured by Hillary Clinton to take out some sensitive parts of the film.

And Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg (pictured right, with Zuckerberg and Facebook's chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer) confirmed that Zuckerburg did indeed don his signature grey T-shirt to work at Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park, California.

She knows exactly how to court the cameras. But Ronda Rousey looked uncharacteristically shy as she jetted out of New York with her new 'fiancé' Travis Browne on Monday morning. The UFC fighter made sure to cover her left hand with her sweater, after eagle-eyed viewers spotted what appeared to be an engagement ring on her finger during Saturday's SNL appearance. Perhaps the 28-year-old's sudden reticence was a result of the rather mixed reaction to her happy news - specifically that of Browne's current wife, Jenna Renee.

The 25-year-old took to Instagram on Monday morning to share a photo of herself with her children Tripp, eight, and Sailor (inset) before she left for work (right).

She may have glossy hair, endless legs and Hollywood star George Clooney at home - but when Amal Clooney arrived at Downing Street to meet David Cameron at the weekend, there was only one thing women were coveting ... her coat. Chic, beautifully tailored and adorned with a trio of decorative gilt brooch buttons, shaped like a hand, a lobster and a cat's face, it was a masterclass in winter dressing. Stylish, figure-fixing and - perhaps most importantly - warm, a great coat can be the most important item in a woman's wardrobe. Which perhaps explains why human rights barrister Amal has amassed such an impressive collection, stepping out in more than £25,000-worth of coats over the past two years. While such decadent ensembles may raise eyebrows among her Left-leaning colleagues, 37-year-old Amal clearly believes that when it comes to coats, you get what you pay for.

One woman's junk is another woman's hunk - especially when it comes to style. In a new video by Dating Without Borders, one man dresses up in six different styles of clothing, from hipster to surfer to businessman. But when a group of nine women from around the world weigh in on what the look does for them, it's clear that the same look can mean a lot of different things to different people.  Most of them liked the hipster look (top left), even though they made fun of the facial hair and preferred the clothes.

And the clubber look (bottom right) got a mostly negative reception, with the women mostly agreeing that he looked like a player.

Maisie Beech, 19, from the UK, thought her-and-half make-up selfie was empowering. However reactions to the image soon turned nasty, as some commenters even went as far to suggest she had cancer or alopecia.

Women shouldn't be criticised or called fake or unnatural for wearing make-up in the same way they shouldn't be called ugly if they're not wearing any.'

Canadian engineer, Charles Bombadier's latest concept jet is capable of reaching Mach 24 - more than twice the speed of the Skreemr and 12 times faster than Concorde.

These rockets would attach to the wings of the Antipod and provide enough thrust to lift off, climb to 40,000 feet, and reach Mach 5. The aircraft's onboard computer would ignite its supersonic combustion ramjet engine and accelerate up to Mach 24 at 40,000 feet.
