EXCLUSIVE: Mafia bosses have 'declared war' against migrants on the holiday paradise of Sicily as one thousand new arrivals pour on to the island every week. It comes after an innocent Gambian man was shot through the head by an assassin in broad daylight sparking fears of a wider bloodbath. Yusapha Susso, 21, (right) was shot in the head by Emanuele Rubino, 28, (inset) during a street altercation (main) in Ballaró, a district in central Palermo notorious as a hotbed of gangland activity. Mayor Leoluca Orlando told MailOnline: 'Palermo is no longer an Italian town. It is no longer European. You can walk in the city and feel like you're in Istanbul or Beirut.'

Prince overdosed on painkillers for a hip problem days six days before his death, sources close to the pop superstar have claimed. The 57-year-old, who died yesterday, took so many Percocet pills that he had to be given a 'save shot' after his private plane made an emergency landing so he could be rushed to hospital Percocet is a highly addictive opiate that contains acetaminophen and oxycodone and is used to treat acute joint pain. News of the alleged overdose came as an autopsy into Prince's death opened, although its results could take weeks. Last night pictures emerged of Prince walking out of a Walgreens pharmacy just 15 hours before he was pronounced dead. It is not known whether he was picking up Percocet or any prescription.

The morning news presenter (right) revealed today that she was asked to dance with Prince (inset) after she went to see him on her 21st birthday. But a raucous Lisa Stansfield (left), another popstar who appeared on this morning's Breakfast to pay tribute to Prince, then blurted out: 'Did you or didn't you?' The embarrassing silence that followed was broken only when co-host Charlie Stayt said: 'That's where we stop the story.' A horrified Naga replied: 'How very dare you.' The awkward exchange sparked a rash of comments on Twitter (inset).

The $10million Paisley Park estate (top right) in Minnesota, which was built in 1988, was where the star (inset) filmed dozens of videos and produced a number of hit songs during his astonishing career. A virtual tour of the property, released a couple of years ago to fans, showed the extravagant complex, where the 57-year-old was found unresponsive in an elevator on Thursday, in all its glory. Viewers were able to catch a glimpse of Prince's 10-man wardrobe, where dozens of his colourful outfits were likely to have been hung, as well as dance rehearsal room, huge lobby (bottom left) and purple 'relaxation room' (top left). A huge recording studio (bottom right), which was designed by architect Bret Theony, was the home to many of the star's musical instruments, with guitars propped against purple and pink chairs and a keyboard in the middle of the room.

James Fairweather unleashed two sickening attacks in Colchester, Essex after developing a fixation with Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe and other serial killers. He had denied the two murders on the grounds of diminished responsibility, but was convicted by a jury at Guildford Crown Court today. In a newly-released police video of an officer interviewing Fairweather after his arrest, he demonstrates how he repeatedly knifed his first victim, 33-year-old father-of-five James Attfield. He showed how his victim was sleeping (top right), so he bent over him and stabbed him (left) in the stomach (bottom right).

The side-splitting scenes, posted on image-sharing website Imgur , including a woman being hit in the face with a basketball (top left), and a bottle of cola exploding in a little boy's face (bottom left).

Other images include a woman about to fall into a swimming pool (bottom right); a classmate about to be sick during a group photo (top right); and a bike falling apart mid-race (bottom middle).

This crumpled rollercoaster carriage (centre and inset) shows the true horror of the Alton Towers Smiler crash. Ride goers were trapped in the carriage for more than four hours as rescue workers tried to free them from their seats. Today Alton Towers admitted safety breaches over the crash, which resulted in Vicky Balch, 20, (left) and Leah Washington, 18, (pictured with fellow victim Joe Pugh, 19) both having to have a leg amputated. Merlin Attractions Operations Ltd, which owns the park, now faces paying a fine that could stretch into millions after pleading guilty to the rule breach at North Staffordshire Justice Centre in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

The Duchess of Cambridge dresses Prince George and Princess Charlotte in understated, traditional styles and avoids designer brands so as not to create a frenzy around her children's clothes, according to experts. In the Queen's birthday portrait (top left) Charlotte wore a dress by Spanish designer M&H; almost identical to the one she wore by the same brand in a photo released when she was six months old (bottom left). George wore knitwear by Spanish childrenswear designer Fina Ejerique for the Queen's birthday portrait (left) with his trademark shorts with knee socks and Start- Rite sandals. Kate also dressed him in the same traditional look with shorts and socks for the first portrait of the Prince taken with his sister Charlotte (right).

Oscar Pistorius dressed the naked dead body of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp after shooting her dead on Valentine's day three years ago, an explosive new book claims Forensic experts say that the black vest (pictured) Miss Steenkamp was wearing when police arrived at the scene does not have holes matching her bullet wounds and very little blood on it. In addition, they question the presence of black bin liners and tape, which Pistorius later claimed had been intended to use to soak up blood from the scene.

A series of social media posts, collected on image sharing site Imgur, show parents are capable of carrying out hilarious stunts - often at the expense of their children. They included (pictured clockwise from left) a dad in very short shorts, a cake iced with the not-so-subtle 'time to move out Keith', a terrified-looking father travelling in the car of his recently-qualified daughter, a dad who tackled the same scenario with a helmet and life jacket, a parent who created his daughter's worst nightmare and an excited dad jumping on his king-size bed.

Her husband Tony (pictured left) has also been able to quit his job and the couple were able to afford a £20,000 wedding thanks to Emma's earnings (right). Mystery shopping is one of her most lucrative endeavours, earning her money and free meals and products (inset).

Away from Orlando's bustling theme parks, Miami's clubs and Palm Beach's white sands, exists a very different Florida. It's wilder and less travelled, one never seem by the hoards of tourists who descend on the state to party and vacation. Photographer Curran Hatleberg set out on a months-long journey to capture the lesser known side of the Sunshine State.

Josh Streeter, from Panama City, Florida, who is engaged to Ariana Ward, wrote the status on Facebook, saying it has been the 'best education a man could be given' - attracting 80,000 likes and 17,000 comments. In the emotional post, Josh explained how supporting Ariana through the first three months of her pregnancy has taught him so much about life that he thought he already knew. Alongside a photo of him holding back his partner's hair while she is experiencing morning sickness, he wrote: 'Pregnancy is the best experience for me.'

In a survey by UK-based PrivateFly, the archipelago of Malta was named the most scenic approach in the world thanks to stunning views of the rocky islands, shimmering blue water and historic capital. Barra Airport, in Scotland's Outer Hebrides (bottom right), ranked third behind beautiful Queenstown (bottom left), New Zealand, as it's one of the few places in the world where planes land on a tidal beach. Other highly rate approaches included London's City Airport (top left), Nice (top right) and the tiny island of Saba (inset). Los Angeles and Toronto also made the top 10.

The Amber Room (pictured right), built for Russian tsar Peter the Great in the 1700s and packed with amber, gold and precious jewels, was stolen by the Nazis and mysteriously disappeared at the end of the Second World War. Now, bosses at the Mamerki (left) museum near Wegorzewo, north east Poland, say it may have been hidden behind a false wall that was sealed shut inside an old wartime bunker - after finding an unknown room measuring 6.5ft wide and 10ft long using geo-radar (inset). The suspicion that it could contain parts of the Amber Room is partly based on a testimony of a former Nazi guard.

The image (left), which was uploaded to Twitter earlier this week, marks the death of the squirrel who was often seen outside the Omaha Police Department headquarters in Nebraska. The animal (right), who had his own Twitter account, was a favourite of police who worked at the station and they regularly offered him granola bars and sunflower seeds. News of the death emerged on social media after Officer Mike Bossman and the force's official account wrote: 'We are sad to announce that @OpdSquirrel has been found dead in the parking lot. We are not investigating' (inset).

The dashcam footage captured by the man in the car shows him accelerating up a hill in what is believed to be Newcastle before a bus pulls out in front of him. The much larger vehicle attempts to go around another bus but is unable to complete the manoeuvre and get back onto the correct side of the road before the car arrives, causing a block. The car driver, who makes remarks on what is happening, is convinced the bus spotted him coming up the road before pulling out and is therefore in the wrong. And while some people who watched the video agree, others have sided with the bus driver claiming the man in the car 'took it out of proportion'.

Despite still believing in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, little kids can still be pretty clever from time to time - and have been known to blow their moms and dads away with their ingenious ideas. Pippa Kapp from London found her daughter Dylan (right) making her own high heels with ballet flats and a block of wood. Redditors have found their daughters making their own iPad stands (center) and 'bank vaults' to lock their stuff up. One future engineer didn't want to stop playing video games to drink water, so she invented a special drink pouch (left).

A group of Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Nova Scotia wanted to educate drivers about a new law, and decided they way to do it was to be deliberately goofy. Introducing Cop Light Bling, one of the most cringe-worthy clips - but decidedly so - on the internet.

And this woman from Norway knows that feeling well after spooking herself out playing a zombie-themed video game. The footage shows the woman freaking out at the graphics in the apocalyptic virtual reality.

A 25-year-old woman named 'Lyudmila Unknown' (left and right) was found at an airport in Russia in 2007. Now, almost a decade later, volunteers used social media to seek her missing family, and in doing so unlocked an appalling tragedy, namely that she had been 'stolen' from hospital by a suspected paedophile and that her mother (inset) - convinced the girl was dead - took her own life. Her uncle Sergey Kostryukov, 44, saw the social media postings and recognised Lyudmila. He lives in her home city of Birobidzhan, 2,500 miles east of where she was found, and revealed how a suspected paedophile had taken the girl - real name Lyudmila Dolgopolov, who was born with mental disabilities - from a hospital where she was undergoing temporary treatment.

Joanne Gould, 30, from London, tries the Live Below The Line challenge. She lives on just £1 a day and eats a lot of rice, tinned tomatoes and bread. She misses the variety of fresh produce such as fruit and vegetables and is very grateful when the challenge is over. She thinks it would be extremely difficult to manage to live like that permanently. (Clockwise from left, Jo eating on a budget;

Those who love Disney need never leave the magic behind! The company has a permanent neighbourhood built right within its borders at Walt Disney World in Florida. The Golden Oak has around 290 houses where lucky homeowners and their families can watch the popular Magic Kingdom fireworks from the comfort of their back garden.

The preserved bodies of ancestors of the Toraja, an ethnic group from the mountains of South Sulawesi in Indonesia, are lovingly dug up from their graves as part of the ancient Ma'nene festival. The annual festival, which translates to 'the Ceremony of Cleaning Corpses', then sees the dead groomed, washed, dressed in fashionable new clothes and even sunglasses and paraded round the village. The scenes might appear gruesome but for the Toraja people, who consider funerals the most important event of their lives, the festival is a celebration.

The Trust Fall Challenge is the latest ridiculous viral craze, which sees teenagers - many who appear to be from US high schools - throw themselves backwards at unsuspecting passers by to see if they will catch them and posting the videos on Twitter. NariyaHudson leaned into a student on the athletics field who didn't even make an effort to catch her (left) and tried the same trick inside in a corridor (second left). Rauniiii (second right) ended up on the ground after her fellow student wasn't fast enough to catch her and Nishon_mccants slipped when a passer-by caught her sleeve but couldn't break her fall (right).
