In an interview with Fox News, Trump refused to say what his plan was, saying: 'You never know.'

Aside from blacking, doing a stint as a floating Yoda or being photographed in beachwear, I am not sure there is any way for Boris Johnson to embarrass himself - or Britain -further this week, writes KATIE HOPKINS. Boris was supposed to fly to Russia - the first Foreign Secretary to visit in a half a decade - but cancelled just hours before he was due to depart following the chemical attack in Syria. It's the second time he has postponed. And it's beginning to look a bit like he'd rather go to Christmas as his mother-in-laws than go to Russia.

Janet Jackson appeared to be saving her troubles for another day on Wednesday as she indulged in a little retail therapy in London. It marked the first time that the superstar has been seen in public since the news that she and husband Wissam Al Mana had split after fives years of marriage. The couple welcomed their first child, son Eissa, in January. For her first outing as a single lady in almost a decade, Janet kept covered up in $2200 black wool-blend pancho from Chloe, a pair of Harem pants and a hat that appeared to have 'Bobby Taylor' written across the front.

Chris Gard and Connie Yates (inset outside the High Court) rushed to eight-month-old Charlie's hospital bed (left and right) after an emotional hearing at the High Court. The couple have three weeks to launch an appeal - a decision friends said they would not hesitate to take. 'They will fight to the bitter end, they won't give up. They love that little boy and while there's still some hope they will carry on,' a family friend told the Daily Mail. As the judge's ruling was delivered, his words were almost drowned out by a mournful wail of despair.

It seems that just when many grandparents should be settling into retirement, instead they're having to commit to the exhausting task of caring for young grandchildren. As more mothers prioritise careers over staying at home and nursery costs rise, the number of carer grandparents has soared. Figures from the Office for National Statistics show 1.3 million working mothers rely on their parents for childcare, while research from insurers Rias reveals grandparents spend an average of nine hours a week caring for grandchildren - saving parents £1,902 in childcare fees over a year. But More and more grandparents like Chris Rose, left, and Sue Oliver, right, report that caring for their grandchildren is taking a toll on their health.

The fly-half player Toby Flood (left), who plays for Toulouse in France, is the grandson of Albert Lieven (right), a German actor who appeared in The Guns of Navarone in 1961. Mr Lieven's first wife Tatiana was believed to be a communist spy who had influence with the Soviet Embassy in London, according to files released by the National Archives at Kew, London. The actress was revealed to be Russian-born and was later divorced by Mr Lieven in 1944, who mainly attracted attention due to his wife, according to MI5 notes.

The duo were asked to be quiet but refused, claiming they weren't worse for wear and accused a member of staff of calling Conti a c***. The pilot said never in his 37 years of experience had he encountered passengers like it.

This is the finished result of a stunning 17th barn converted into a modern-day family home (pictured). The structure was unrecognisable just three years when it was left abandoned (top right) in the village of Greywell, near Basingstoke in Hampshire. Mark Parmenter, 60, immediately identified potential in the historic site and embarked on the colossal project of renovating the buildings. He discovered magnificent 400-year-old beams believed to date back to the Jacobean period which are now the centrepiece in the stunning home (top left).

Those unable to tell which character is the odd one out could well be at risk of the devastating illness. Known as Greebles, the little purple characters have been designed by scientists in their ongoing quest for a cure. A Vanderbilt University study found those at genetic risk of the disease struggle to distinguish a subtle difference in one of the images. However, their ability to detect minor changes in objects, faces and scenes are relatively unaffected.

Amir Khan's wife shocked followers of her Snapchat account after she posted a video of her filming while seemingly driving a car (shown right). Faryal Makhdoom also seemed to mock Bolton, the hometown of her boxer husband, in the footage.

At one point, she jokes that she is going to take the friend on a tour of Bolton, to which her pal does not seem impressed. The Snapchat video comes amid a very public rift between family of Amir Khan and Faryal (pictured together, right), who accused his relatives of 'bullying' her for years.

Married Dr David Dao was convicted of giving a patient drugs in return for gay sex and barred from practicing in Louisville, KY. He was allowed back after anger management and other counselling - which revealed his mental state. It said that he had 'a pattern of deception', 'lacked the foundation to navigate difficult situations' a 'need to control, avoidance, withholding information' and 'magical thinking'.

One year after the massive success of the Emmy-winning series 'American Crime Story: The People V. OJ' and the Oscar-winning documentary 'OJ: Made In America,' it seems that Caitlyn is looking to share her own story about the disgraced football star, and writes that Robert Kardashian knew his client was guilty. Robert and OJ had been friends for years at the time of the trial, but Caitlyn claims that one day she and her then-wife Kris' ex were in a car together a few years after the trial and Robert said: 'I would've been okay with it if they had gotten him in the first trial.' OJ was found not guilty of all criminal charges in his first trial back in 1995, but 'responsible' for the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and waiter Ron Goldman in a 1998 civil trial. 'The implication was obvious that he believed O.J. was guilty,' writes Caitlyn of her takeaway from that exchange in her new book .

A video has emerged of a thirsty pig chugging three bottles of beer in front of a group of chuckling friends in Mexico. The footage starts with the pig, seemingly outside a bar, skilfully picking up an empty bottle before dropping it to the floor when it realises there is no beer left inside. One of the onlookers then hands the pig a full of bottle of beer which it gratefully downs in seconds. When the pig finishes the beverage it again drops the bottle to the ground and looks for another. The animal then finds another full bottle that was being rested on the ground by a drinker and promptly chugs its contents down as the onlookers erupt with laughter.

The Marathon des Sables, which translates into English as Marathon of the Sands, was started in 1986 by Patrick Bauer - a French concert promoter. The course is about 156 miles (250 km), the equivalent of six regular marathons. It is a six day race and there is only one rest day. Competitors must carry all their provisions for the whole race on their back. Around 45 per cent of competitors are military veterans and 10 per cent of people choose to walk the length of the course.

Fascinating images show the skills of once proud and prominent industries now being kept alive by just a few artisan craftsmen. Among them are the stories of cheesemakers, stonemasons, brewers, and a Devon cider maker who uses a 350-year-old straw press to crush his apples in a building where the drink has been made for over 500 years, top left. Photos, from a new book, also capture the fascinating skills of Britain's last bellfoundry, bottom right, Welsh tapestry makers using looms over 100 years old, and traditional kipper smokers in a once-thriving Yorkshire fishing village, top right. Pictured, bottom left, is an organ maker for a company that has created behemoth instruments with hundreds of pipes for some of Britain's most famous and beautiful cathedrals.

Michael Guerra unclips from his pedals, lies down on the seat and stretches out his legs to achieve ultimate aerodynamic efficiency. Letting go of a huge amount of control the Italian cyclist lets the pedals on the fixed-gear bike spin by themselves. His method clearly works as he begins to overtake his fellow cyclists with his risky tactic. At one point in the video - which was filmed in an unknown location - he appears to zoom past a man on an electric mobility scooter. Guerra even overtakes a moped rider - who launches into the manoeuvre himself and appears to be 'flying' in the wind behind the cyclist.

Simba the lion and Lula the bear, the ailing last two residents of Mosul zoo (top photos), were flown out of Iraq Monday to receive emergency care from an animal welfare centre in Jordan. The pair were found at Montazah Al-Morour zoo as fighting engulfed Mosul, and were trapped in damaged cages without proper care or enough food. Lula (left) is now living in a grass-covered enclosure for the first time in her life. The charity said she will live there until she has adapted to her new surroundings. Meanwhile, Simba is still 'a little shy and enjoys the comfort of his crate'.
