London Bridge killer was reported after Eid scuffle

Counter-extremism group The Quilliam Foundation has revealed that Khulam Butt was flagged to authorities after the confrontation (pictured, right) with Dr Usama Hasan (inset) at a July 2016 event to mark Eid, the end of Ramadan. Butt (also pictured left, working for London Underground) attended the event with his wife and young son and approached Dr Hasan, who was with his family, and accused him of being an apostate who took 'government money to spy on Muslims'. It has also been revealed that the 27-year-old tried to radicalise youngsters at a gym he worked out at, Ummah Fitness in Ilford, with Sajeel Shahid, 41, a member of Anjem Choudary's al-Muhajiroun network who was accused of helping train the 7/7 bomb ringleader Mohammed Siddique Khan. Yet Butt was deemed a 'low priority' by police and MI5 despite the incident with Dr Hasam and his links to Choudary, Europe's most notorious hate preacher.

May says MI5 does face questions over London Bridge killer

Theresa May (pictured at a rally in Slough) today vowed to tear up human rights laws if they 'stop us' from fighting terrorism as she vowed a fresh crackdown on extremism.

In a speech in Slough on the eve of the last full day of election campaigning, Mrs May promised to get even tougher with terrorists. She had earlier admitted there are questions to answer over how the security services handled London bridge killer Khuram Butt - amid anger that at least one of them 'slipped through the net'.

Katie Hopkins: Those meant to protect us are ineffectual

I commend Piers Morgan. There's something I never thought I would hear myself say, writes KATIE HOPKINS. I watched him interview Sadiq Khan on GMB this morning and he was 100% more professional than I would ever have been. He appears to show no conception of the horror our capital city is facing, keeps repeating London is the safest city in the world, and refuses to connect the glaringly obvious dots between Islamic Extremism and the attacks on our children. If the people at the top were doing their jobs properly, the brave bobbies on the street wouldn't need to be quite so much in harm's way. Sadiq Khan, the investigating officers, MI5, Theresa May - I've lost confidence in all of them.

Jeremy Corbyn addressed rally attended by extremists

Corbyn addressed an anti-Israel protest (pictured left and right) where Islamists from Al Muhajiroun chanted about their support for Osama Bin Laden and shouted slogans calling for Israelis to be gassed. Two were dressed in mock suicide bomber outfits.

It was also claimed that the security services are looking into a second attacker's links to the preacher. Details of Mr Corbyn's (inset, modern day) attendance at the infamous demonstration in May 2002 are a blow to the Labour leader just 24 hours before the polls open.

Some creatures look permanently astonished by their very nature - the tarsier, for example, found on the islands of Southeast Asia, has the largest eyes comparative to its body size of all the mammals, which gives it a mesmerisingly melodramatic visage. And it's easy to see how meerkats, with their overtly sassy stance, have proved popular enough to get their own reality TV show.

Here, MailOnline Travel presents a gallery of perfectly-timed snaps of stars who surely deserve an Oscar.
