Tyrone Williams, from Bromley, shared a video that captured the moment when the woman was forced out of her seat despite the fact she had an infant in a sling. The mother sat down in the first class section of a Southern Rail train to Brighton. However, fellow passengers argued that she shouldn't be allowed to sit there because she doesn't have a first class ticket but the mother points out it is a priority seat. Southern Rail say that priority seats in first class are available to ticket holders only unless it has been declassified due to disruption.

Hundreds of families have fled for their lives as a 25m wall of flames swept towards two towns in New South Wales. As many as 250 homes came within metres of being burned down as the two blazes - thought to have been started deliberately - merged and careered towards Abermain and Neath yesterday afternoon. Parents grabbed their children, pets and prized possessions as they desperately abandoned their homes, but many were unable to leave and were told to shelter in place by fire officials. More than 100 firefighters were tackling the blaze last night after it destroyed 119 hectares of land and threatened to rage through the two towns. The infernos came on a day where temperatures reached nearly 40C - and with the heat expected to continue for some time, experts have warned of yet more extreme fires to come.

This collection of images is taken from Agence France Presse, or AFP's 'Pictures of the Year 2016' - a selection of the press agency's most important and powerful photographs from the past year. Every year AFP, which has photographers around the globe, chooses a selection of their most powerful, moving, shocking or fascinating images, offering a look back at the highlights - and lowlights - of the last 12 months. Some of the photographs capture the most important events of the year, while others have been chosen because they encapsulate a particularly poignant, touching, or even funny moment.

Those details form the basis for Susie Hodge's new book Art in Detail: 100 Masterpieces, CNN reported. These paintings - which also include (counter-clockwise from top left) Joseph the Carpenter, Entry of the Crusaders in Constantinople, are some of the most fascinating and illuminating.

It's fair to say 2016 has been a mixed year, with the deaths of several icons and one of the most divisive Presidential campaigns in living memory.
