Airman John Grieten, who had spent the last six months in Southwest Asia, was filmed standing behind his son Joshua at Newark High School in Delaware as he went about his daily activities (top left). The 15-year-old, who is a student in the REACH program, was completely unaware of his dad being in the room when suddenly he sneaked up on him and asked 'Can I sit here?' The video showed Joshua staring at his father and saying 'dad?' before shouting 'daddy' and throwing his arms around him in excitement (bottom left). Everyone in the room can be heard clapping and cheering, while others film the reunion, as the pair continue to hug each other in delight (right).

'I was NOT a spy': Polish solidarity hero Lech Walesa denies he was a communist secret agent for Russia on Facebook and releases new papers he says PROVES it
Former president Lech Walesa has taken to social media to clear his name of accusations that he was a communist spy by publishing 30 pages a day from secret police files. He claims they show the files - which appear to bear his signature (top left) - are faked, a not unusual practice under Communist rule. The Nobel Prize winner (centre, leading a strike in 1980, and top right, in 1983) is now releasing 30 pages a day on his Facebook page - despite falling 8,000 short of the 10,000 'likes' target he set as a benchmark to begin publishing.

It is not confirmed who was responsible for the strike on the camp but opposition activists say Syrian or Russian warplanes were responsible, with international leaders labeling the 'appalling' incident a possible war crime.

'We hung on!' Defiant Corbyn on borrowed time as Labour avoids heavy council election losses in England - but party is put to the sword in Scotland recording their worst result in more than a CENTURY with Tories pushing them into third place
Labour moderates have queued up to condemn Jeremy Corbyn in the wake of the disastrous results, pointing out that the party showed no signs of mounting a realistic challenge to the Conservatives at the next general election. The veteran left-winger's own deputy Tom Watson admitted Labour was in a 'serious' situation but appealed for potential rebels to give him more time. With 80 out of 124 English council elections declared, Labour has lost control of just one authority - in Dudley - and dropped 25 seats. However, it is still the worst showing by an Opposition party since the 1980s and critics pointed out that the Tories are in turmoil over the looming EU referendum. In Scotland, where Mr Corbyn's allies had claimed his anti-austerity and anti-Trident stances would play well, the party has been humiliated by the SNP and beaten into third by the Conservatives. But at a rally in Sheffield, Mr Corbyn said the party 'hung on and we grew support in a lot of places'.

However, peering out from under a newspaper was a picture of Ms Maples wearing a blue bikini at the Hawaiian Tropic beauty pageant in 1985 (right).

He won sympathy the world over when he was tripped by a camerawoman as he carried his son over the Hungarian border. But seven months after arriving in Spain, Syrian refugee Osama still waits for the life he was promised
He won sympathy from around the world when he was tripped over as he carried his son across the Hungarian border but refugee Osama Abdul Mohsen is still awaiting the quiet life he was promised seven months ago when a Spanish sports club helped him flee to the Mediterranean country. Mr Mohsen's story went viral after he was filmed being tripped up by camerawoman Petra Laszlo as he fled police near the Hungarian border with Serbia last September. He was carrying his youngest son Zaid (together left), then aged seven, in his arms at the time, and the two fell sprawling on the ground. Footage of the incident (bottom right) helped bring him to the attention of a football training school in Getafe, on the outskirts of Madrid, which found him work as a liaison officer. Zaid, now a year older, as well as Mohsen's 17-year-old son Mohammed, who was in Germany at the time, now live with their father (together top right). However, while mementos from the footballing world that brought the Syrian refugees to Spain remain strewn around their flat, Mr Mohsen admits that he has not yet been able to properly settle and is still struggling to learn the language.
What's REALLY inside a pyramid: First 3D images created using cosmic particles show hidden tunnels inside mysterious structure
The pyramids of Egypt have held their secrets for more than 4,500 years. Now, Egyptian and foreign experts have begun unraveling their mysteries with the help of space particles. The team are using 'cosmic rays' to create maps that show the internal structures of these ancient wonders - and they say they could hold some surprises. Last week, archaeologists revealed the first results of their work involving the Bent pyramid (inset), 25 miles south of Cairo. The 3D images show the internal chambers of the 4,600-year-old structure, as well as clearly revealing the shape of its second chamber.
Is he REALLY the best boss in the world? Chinese billionaire pays for his 2,500 staff to go on holiday to Spain - after previously taking his company to Paris and Cote d'Azur
The generous Chinese billionaire boss Li Jinyuan (inset) who took 6,400 of his staff to the South of France last year has done it again - this time taking his employees to Madrid (left and right).

The gruesome footage, which is believed to have been captured in South America, showed the bull catching the man's trailing leg and sending him hurtling into the air.

People can be heard screaming and attempt to distract the enraged animal but it guards the man for more than two minutes before finally running away.
Passenger with a fear of flying 'suffered a panic attack after airline staff said she would be sent to prison' for possessing a prescribed drug used to treat her anxiety
Karen Young, from Tamworth, Staffordshire, said she was reduced to tears at Birmingham Airport when Emirates staff told her she could be 'locked up' in the United Arab Emirates for carrying diazepam. Young said she wasn't doing anything wrong because she was carrying a prescription (inset) with the medication as she flew to Sydney via Dubai. The UAE's strict drug laws state that possession of medication containing codeine or similar narcotic-like ingredients could result in a mandatory four-year prison sentence, although it allows tourists to bring their medicine into the country as long as they are carrying a prescription.
Former US soldier receives sex change op at budget Indian clinic and claims cheap treatment was only alternative to killing herself
Former US soldier Betty Ann Archer flew to New Delhi to complete her gender transition, one of a growing number of foreigners heading to India for budget sex-change operations. Born Dale Archer, the 64-year-old American said she felt trapped in the wrong body right from the start, recalling secretly trying on her mother's dresses as a boy - much to the horror of her conservative military father. A growing number of transgenders are choosing to have their operations in India over leading sex-change destination Thailand, despite it traditionally shunning its own transgender community.
