Doctors decided to bury Carlos Mariotti's left hand inside his abdomen and cover it with a flap of protective skin (right) after the machine production operator (left), from Orleans, Brazil, suffered a horrific work accident that ripped off all the skin on his hand.

Some roads make the journey more exciting than the destination and challenge travellers to unleash their inner Jeremy Clarkson. Take the Overwater Highway in China, for example, which was built in the middle of a river valley (bottom left), and the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Japan (top left) where visitors drive through 65ft high snow walls. Or the world's longest road tunnel, the Laerdal Tunnel in Norway (bottom right), which sees drivers plunged underground for a whopping 15.2 miles, the world's longest road, the Pan-American Highway (top right) and the world's 'crookedest' street, Lombard Street in San Francisco (inset). Here MailOnline Travel rounds up the world's wackiest roads.

Chris Eubank Sr and his son (left) give their account of the latter's fight at the Wembley Arena on Saturday with Nick Blackwell (top right), who was left in a coma fighting for his life. Eubank's actions, to apparently have the fight stopped, have sparked huge controversy.

Kay (pictured left with wife Tess Daly) had claimed earlier this week that the Whatsapp messages he sent to Rhian Sugden (right) asking to meet had been taken out of context, and that he had done 'nothing wrong'. Now messages have emerged which appear to reveal the two trying to think of 'a very private location' for a meeting, with Kay suggesting Sugden 'get a wig', and even discussing their six year 'breaking news' anniversary.

A chilling new discovery has been made at the ancient archaeological site of Palmyra with Syrian troops uncovering a shocking mass grave containing dozens of bodies including children. The bodies of 42 civilians and soldiers executed by ISIS were found close to the city, a military source confirmed. The victims were officers, soldiers, members of the 'popular committees (pro-regime militia)' and their relatives, according to AFP. 24 of the victims were civilians, including three children.

The Prime Minister (pictured, inset) urged China to end the attacks on UK steel plants but in a humiliating rebuff, they responded by introducing a 46 per cent duty on a type of steel made at the Tata plant in South Wales. It heaped even more pressure on the PM and the Chancellor - who stand accused of being so in hock to China that they stood back while Britain's steel industry was pushed to the brink of extinction. Former deputy PM Nick Clegg said last night Mr Osborne was guilty of 'putting his special relationship with China above the UK's best interests'. It comes after Business Secretary Sajid Javid met furious steelworkers in South Wales yesterday (pictured).

The 26-year-old mother of Johnson's daughter Ayla Sofia was pictured, left, arriving at Armley Prison in Leeds yesterday and was joined by the sex offender's father David and sister Faye. The trip is believed to be the first family visit to see Johnson, shown inset, since the former Sunderland winger was imprisoned last month having been convicted of sexual activity with an underage girl. Miss Flounders, pictured right on holiday with the disgraced footballer, accompanied Johnson to Bradford Crown Court through most of trial but it was revealed halfway through that they had split. Previously she gave evidence to the court and insisted she would 'remain friends' with her ex.

The cartoon by Max Knoblaugh is the internet's latest favorite brain teaser. Knowblaugh also illustrated Doc Brown, from Back to the Future, hidden in a sea of Bernie Sanders characters. The Where's Waldo-esque cartoon challenges first kicked off thanks to Hungarian cartoonist Gergely Dudas, who confounded the internet with a panda hidden among snowmen in December.

Nicholas Bajorinas (pictured left and right), 64, had been driving along the private country lane leading from his house in Edenbridge when he lost control of his powerful Cobra Dart car (inset) and ploughed into the tree. He was understood to have been found by his wife, Susan (pictured centre), before later being pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

The first signs that something was wrong aboard MS Marco Polo (top right) came a few weeks into its Treasures Of The West Indies tour, when the 820-berth cruise ship was weaving its way through the glittering blue waters of the Caribbean. One of the female passengers had been acting strangely, people said. But as the small cruise ship toured around such idyllic islands as St Kitts and St Barts, Susan Brown's (left) behaviour became so alarming that fellow passengers began to question why on earth the ship's captain and crew weren't taking action. That concern, as we now know, proved to be well-founded. Mrs Brown is the pensioner who was miraculously plucked from the Atlantic Ocean by fishermen last weekend after swimming out to sea from the Portuguese island of Madeira (bottom right) where the Marco Polo briefly docked last Saturday

18 month old Riley lies on dad Josh's chest at their home in Texas. Every time he takes his hands of her she reaches out and pulls them back. The Facebook video has now quickly gone viral and has viewed on mother Casey Johnson Kinser's profile page over 4million times. The mom wrote online Casey commented: 'It warms my heart to see how they're special relationship has touched so many. He is indeed a wonderful father to all three of our little girls!'

Grainy bedroom footage, pictured left, top right and bottom right, purports to show former Kremlin prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov, 58, with playwright and activist Natalya Pelevine, 39, in a Moscow apartment. The release by Kremlin-friendly television channel NTV is apparently aimed at destroying one of the few opposition leaders seen as remotely capable of being an alternative president to Putin. But it also attacks and humiliates UK citizen Pelevine who has been a constant critic of the Russian leadership, especially over its actions in Chechnya and lack of democracy. Who was behind the filming is unclear, but the purpose was evidently to embarrass the opposition figures who are also heard savaging other so-called allies in an anti-Putin front ahead of upcoming elections.

A school bus driver was placed on administrative leave after video of him driving the bus (pictured left and right) with James 'Mikey' Burdett of Boston hanging on to the mirror surfaced on Facebook this week. 'Stop the bus this is my daughter's stop,' Burdett reportedly told the driver,

The craze for crossing dog breeds has reached an all-time high with all manner of weird and wonderful creations appearing. First came Labradoodles, then Cockerpoos. Now it's the Pomsky, Yorkiepoos, Ba-shars, Beagliers, Cavachons and Puggles. The British Veterinary Association has teamed up with the RSPCA to produce a 'puppy contract' to help potential owners avoid the puppy farmers and buy only from a reputable breeder or rescue centre. Here, Lorraine Fisher reveals what you can expect from the mixed-up pups.

Over the past six weeks, Tom Hiddleston has caused something of a heart-quake across the land. As Jonathan Pine in the critical and popular smash drama The Night Manager, he found a new army of fans thrilled by his undoubted charms. This is not just because the 35-year-old actor was willing to peel off his shirt in several scenes during the BBC series - and his trousers in certain others. No, Hiddie the Hottie (bottom left with his mother Diana) is sooo much more than a beautiful body. Of course, the charming Old Etonian is classic leading man material. He's tall, blue-eyed and athletic, with a deep chest and an even deeper voice. When he strides across a casino in his crisp suit and orders a vodka martini at the bar, one can see why his name is being touted as the new James Bond, writes JAN MOIR.

Frisco, Texas has been shocked by the death of local mom Christine Thi Woo (pictured), who was found dead in her car (inset) Thursday after going missing for three days. Her body was found alongside her three still-children (right) who were severely dehydrated. She vanished on Monday, along with her children Lauren Woo, 5, Nathan Woo, 3, and Leah Woo, 1. Her husband Brandon said she had disappeared on an ordinary day and described her as a 'rock' and a 'lioness'. But locals who knew the woman say she seemed 'overwhelmed' and 'depressed'.

Bill Davis and his team used an excavator to scoop up the animals after they got stuck in the mud at a plot of land in America. The animals were separately deposited on dry land and the group wait with baited breath to see if they are injured. While both initially struggle to get to their feet and seem highly confused they eventually bound away, to the cheers of delight. from the team.

As purveyor of the nation's knickers, sensible shoes and cosy knits, Marks & Spencer is just about the very last organisation I'd expect to make me hot with indignation, writes Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. A bastion of everything that's comfortingly British, it's also an unlikely institution to make a political statement. Yet, with the arrival of the burkini in its stores and on its UK website, it has managed to achieve both these feats. While Nigella Lawson wore a burkini on a beach in Australia five years ago, the garment is more usually associated with Muslim women who want to cover their bodies to be 'modest'.

A car driving in Russia is forced to swerve and crashes into a lampost when another car turns suddenly. The sign flattens a man standing next to it and he falls to the ground. The man can be seen gingerly climbing to his feet and a blonde woman in a red skirt - thought to be the car's driver - runs forward to his aid. The red faced man shakes himself and puts his hand to his head as she puts her arms on him. He does not seem to be badly injured although the video ends before any further information can be gleaned.
