The German press has branded Angela Merkel's meeting with Donald Trump as 'awkward', highlighting the fact that the American president refused to shake Merkel's hand. Meeting for the first time - a few days behind schedule after Merkel's visit was postponed due to snow - the two leaders got off to a good start, with a warm welcome outside the West Wing. However, the meeting soon turned cold as Trump blew off an attempted handshake in the Oval Office and disagreed publicly with Merkel on almost every major international issue.

The First Family touched down in West Palm Beach on Friday afternoon for their fifth visit to President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort - this time joined by Melania's mom and dad. Viktor and Amalija Knavs, who now both live in the US but return to their home country of Slovenia every year, were seen departing Air Force One in smart black suits and sunglasses.

Donald Trump Jr. has revealed he decided long ago not to measure himself against his father as the 39-year-old spoke about his quest to find his place in the famous family. Unlike his golf-loving father Donald, Don Jr.'s lifestyle and most of his friendships are mostly linked to hunting and fishing. He said hunting was how he chose to live his life and that controversial photos of him posing with dead animals on an African safari several years back had linked him to more like-minded hunters. His love of hunting developed back when he was growing up as a child. Don Jr. was raised in Trump Tower in New York with his siblings Ivanka and Eric. He said his family were competitive and they had to fight for what they wanted growing up. Don Jr. was once spanked by his mother Ivana - Trump's first of three wives - because Ivanka had lied and said he had broken a chandelier in the breakfast room.

Lighthearted restaurants across the world are serving up a side of laughter. Rather than just listing their food options, comedy menu fails and hilarious restaurant signs have been keeping eagle-eyed patrons entertained while they dine. From one eatery revelling in its bad meatball sandwich review on Yelp (bottom left) to passive aggressive warnings of violence if diners dare take photos of their food (top right), some owners like to create a memorable dialogue with their clientele (bottom centre). But for others it's the well-placed typo or mis-translation that is sure to raise eyebrows (top left and bottom right).

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have waved goodbye to Paris after a successful two-day charm offensive. Kate was handed a posy of lilac flower by a pair of schoolchildren before the royal pair headed back home to the UK. Earlier the couple endured a nail-biting finish to the Six Nations rugby today when victory was snatched from Wales (right) after twenty minutes of overtime at the Stade de France. Kate looked a picture of elegance in a double breasted Carolina Herrera coat and flashed a beaming smile as she chatted to William when the players entered the pitch.

A convicted criminal with links to radical Islam shouted 'I am here to die for Allah, there will be deaths' seconds before he was shot dead during an attack at Paris Orly airport (bottom left). The 39-year-old, named locally as career criminal Ziyed Ben Belgacem, was killed after wrestling a soldier's gun from her and fleeing into a McDonald's. He sent a text message to his brother and father stating 'I shot the police', shortly before he was killed. Revealing his chilling final words, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said an anti-terrorist enquiry had been launched. Cocaine was found in the dead man's flat, and Mr Molins said there had been fears about the 'extremely violent' Ben Belgacem's mental health. Less than two hours before he was killed, he had shot a female police officer in the head in a northern Paris suburb after being stopped for speeding. The Paris prosecutors' office said he was suspected of having terror links, and Ben Belgacem's home was among scores searched in November 2015 following ttacks which killed 130 people. The Duke and Duchess were in the city (bottom right) to meet French terror victims.

MailOnline fitted two brave testers with eye-tracking software to see how quickly they would look at a male and female model in their underwear. Both testers were gay but the results may surprise you. Molly, 22, and Alfie, 45, were fitted with the devices before meeting models Ade and Lou, who were wearing nothing but their underwear. They were much quicker to glance down when it came to members of the opposite sex than members of the same sex.

Photographers from around the world played with the theme 'meaningful places' in a bid to win this year's 2017 Zeiss Photography Award. Kevin Faingnaert from Ghent, Belgium, was crowned the winner with his photography project, Føroyar, which investigates the peace of life on the remote and sparsely populated Faroe Islands. He said the area became a 'meaningful place' for him because of the 'small, simple comforts of life... listening to stories told in the welcoming warmth of Faroese homes, the sound of songs against the roaring backdrop of the sea, and my memorable encounter with a message-in-a-bottle collector on the beach.' Pictured: A home in the remote wilderness of the Faroe Islands (main), a septet of children on a sofa in North Korea (bottom left) and Buddha wearing festive dress in Tibet (bottom right).

ROBERT HARDMAN: Even today, it is shocking to read details of the sinking of the City of Benares, an 11,000-ton British liner hit by a German torpedo while carrying evacuees to Canada. The tragedy would be debated for years. Where was the Royal Navy? How could Germany attack a ship full of children? Now an intriguing new dimension to the tragedy has emerged. The City of Benares (shown bottom inset), along with many other ships scattered off the coasts of Britain and Ireland (pictured left and right), may have been targeted for a reason: its secret cargo of gold bullion. After 25 years of research, a group of marine experts has produced a comprehensive and closely-guarded database of secret gold movements from Britain to the U.S. and elsewhere in World Wars I and II.

Sharing a private photograph taken that morning on social media on Saturday, the veteran star explained it was the 'very first Luke [Skywalker] picture'. 

The shirtless youngster is seen hitting the can off the animal's razor-sharp teeth breaking a hole in the aluminium. He then downs the beer in seconds as another reveller forces open the shark's jaw on a sunny beach in an unidentified location. The clip has provoked a backlash with viewers saying: 'I hope the shark ate his arm off.' The technique is known as 'shotgunning' - which involves a drinker punching a hole in the side of a can and placing their mouth over it while popping the ring-pull. The vile video was released on Spring Break in the US when college students let loose for a week of debauchery.
