Ashleigh Harris sued after falling off horse and it could impact horse owners in Britain

Ashleigh Harris, 18, broke her back after falling in a field near Chepstow. She was riding on Polly Perks, a powerful thoroughbred ex-racehorse which belonged to her boyfriend Kieran's mother. That catastrophic accident four years ago set in motion a chain of events which culminated in an extraordinary £3 million legal battle at the High Court in London, one which lawyers and the British Horse Society say has far-reaching implications for unwary horse owners across the country. Last week, a judge decided that Ashleigh, who is now 18, is entitled to full compensation from 43-year-old mother-of-three Rachel Miller, the owner of 'badly trained' Polly Perks.

The hypocrisy of Angelina Jolie for freezing out Brad Pitt

Two months on after the split, Brad Pitt has lost weight, is gaunt (pictured left) and has the haunted look common to men going through an acrimonious divorce and who have been separated from their children. He has been cleared in an investigation into whether he was abusive to his eldest son Maddox. Yet Angelina is still demanding that the courts give her sole custody of their six children. Under such an arrangement, Dad would be allowed only 'therapeutic', supervised visiting rights. Brad is said to be so terrified of losing his children he has been unable to sleep (Pitt a year ago, right).

Arrogant global ruling class tried to crush the spirit of nationhonhood, DOMINIC SANDBROOK

Even now, four days on, I can't quite believe it. When I turned on the TV, late on Tuesday night, I was reasonably sure that Hillary Clinton was going to become the next President of the United States. By the time I went to bed, in the small hours of the morning, the map of the United States was splashed with Donald Trump's Republican red. Historians will be arguing about the reasons for Mr Trump's victory for as long as the United States exists. But I think the greatest clue to his appeal was right there on that hideously undignified baseball cap, which bore the slogan: 'Make America Great Again.'

Donald Trump's (pictured) election to the most powerful job in the world marks a rare moment of convulsive change in world history, writes PETER OBORNE.

Trump will consider 'amending' Obamacare NOT repealing it after plea from Obama himself

President-elect Trump used his first interview since being winning the election to announce he may not repeal entirely Obamacare after the current president asked him to keep some parts. 'Either Obamacare will be amended, or repealed and replaced,' Trump told the Wall Street Journal. 'I told him I will look at his suggestions, and out of respect, I will do that.' Trump's repeated attacks on the law were a central focus of his campaign, during which he used it to needle rival Hillary Clinton as insurance premiums rose for some enrollees, especially in battleground states. The entire First Family Elect also sat down for an interview with 60 Minutes to be aired on Sunday evening.

Donald Trump puts Mike Pence in charge of transition and appoints Ivanka to team

Huma Abedin weeps openly as she returns to Clinton campaign headquarters

Hillary Clinton's closest aide wept as she went back to the Brooklyn headquarters of the doomed bid for the presidency. The future for Abedin, 40, is unclear and her marriage is over. The aide has worked for nobody except Clinton since she was an intern for the then First Lady in Bill Clinton's White House. Throughout the campaign she was at her boss's side - but then with less than two weeks to go until polling day the FBI explosively revealed they were looking at 650,000 of her emails found on her pervert ex-husband Anthony Weiner's laptop. He is being investigated for sexting a 15-year-old. The revelation is being blamed by Clinton aides for - at least in part - costing them the campaign. Abedin, 40, has seen her marriage collapse during the campaign when Weiner was caught sexting an adult, and was herself under FBI investigation for her handling of classified material.

The awkward first photo released of President Barack Obama's meeting with Donald Trump has led many on the internet to mock the two men, and how uncomfortably they looked around one another.

Philip Green's wife snaps up a £10MILLION London townhouse

Sir Philip Green's 67-year-old wife (pictured together, right) is understood to be behind a company that has spent more than £10million on a London townhouse (left), which is now being renovated under her watchful eye. The news will no doubt anger BHS staff who lost their jobs and still face uncertainty over pensions following the collapse of the retail chain. It went into administration after Sir Philip - known as Sir Shifty - sold it for £1 to serial bankrupt Dominic Chappell, with a £571million pension scheme deficit. Lady Green, who controls the family fortune and is worth £5billion, was in London on Tuesday to visit the property.

Research reveals that some of the nation's best-loved shops levy rates of almost 30 per cent on their credit cards, with those owned by former BHS boss Philip Green among the worst.

After being wounded in the Somme and taken out of front-line duty in 1917, he was transferred to the Royal Army Service Corps and began producing his postcards for soldiers. All the surviving cards Mackain drew, the majority of which are from a series called Sketches Of Tommy's Life, were recently collected together for the first time and published in a book ahead of Remembrance Sunday.

Prince Harry's girlfriend Meghan Markle visits London

Ms Markle should be in London with Harry at a time when most of the Royal Family are in the capital for a weekend of national commemorations to mark Remembrance Sunday. This, surely, allows a proud Harry the opportunity - should he wish - to take his girlfriend to see both his brother and his father. The Prince of Wales, who was due to return from a tour of the Gulf states last night, is expected to join the Queen and other royals at the Royal British Legion's Festival of Remembrance at the Albert Hall tonight and again at the Cenotaph tomorrow. There are no plans for Ms Markle to attend either high-profile event - not least because the Queen considers them among the most important dates in the national calendar and would not permit anything to overshadow them. However, courtiers believe there is enough room in the royal schedule should Harry wish to take Meghan to meet Charles at Clarence House.

Speaking about the rigours of training for eight hours a day with his dancing partner, Katya Jones, the ex-MP said: 'You do get home in the evenings and you're just exhausted.'
