EXCLUSIVE: Hamida, 30, said her village of Quachong, Maungdaw, in Rakhine State was attacked on September 2. She was at home, full-term in her pregnancy, when she heard a commotion outside, followed by the sound of explosions. Her face was expressionless as she recounted: 'The mob invaded our village, they fired at us with rocket launchers and chased us and even shot us as we were running away. Then they set fire to the village and it burned to the ground.' With her baby due any day, Hamida was forced to flee to the forest with her husband and their six other children where they hid. Pictured, Hamida's 15-day-old baby Hassain.

Sergey Kirienko (pictured right), 41, is accused of forcing followers (some of whom are pictured left) to take part in orgies and prostitution 'in the name of god'. He has been detained in Bulgaria amid fears some of the children of his female disciples were kidnapped. Meanwhile, Russia staged an elaborate operation involving police in Belarus to rescue a five-year-old boy whose mother Anastasia Ziboreva has become 'an ardent follower' of Kirienko, cutting off all ties with her relatives, and apparently offering sexual services to clients in South America on his orders. When the Russian equivalent of the FBI first became interested in him, he and his women fled to Cancun in Mexico, where his entourage offered their services to the rich.

The colourised photos show soldiers enjoying a spot of lunch in front of their aircraft in Barcelona in 1938 (left) and members of the Red Cross on a rescue mission after the detonation of a bomb. The images show members of the famous International Brigade, which counted literary stars such as George Orwell, Ernest Hemmingway and Laurie Lee as members, as well as the Red Cross and local Spanish Republican militia. They are all the work of Doug Banks, who painstakingly brought the images up to date. Also pictured, the militia of the Spanish republic at Granen on the Aragon Front in September 1936 (top right) and Robert Hale Merriman of Nevada, Chief of Staff of the Lincoln Battalion, XV International Brigade (bottom right).

The pups - aged between three months and eight years - were found in warehouses after three of them were saved from a small car as they were being smuggled away for consumption. When rescuers found the other dogs, they had their mouths taped shut and their paws tied tightly with rope. There were 26 of them in total. The desperate dogs - which were trapped inside bags (pictured right) - could be heard whining for help. In India, many dogs are place alive in boiling water at markets so their skin and fur comes off and their meat is then sold for £2 per kilogram. Now seven of the 26 dogs have been adopted locally and the rest have been put up for adoption by the charity Just Be Friendly.

The £360million super yacht belonging to Russian oligarch Andrey Melnichenko has been spotted sailing into Gibraltar. His boat even appears to dwarf a tanker (right) as it floats into British territory. When it comes near a cruise ship (left), it also stands tall. The staggeringly huge vessel is 468ft long and has three 300ft masts that are taller than the Palace of Westminster's clock tower. Melnichenko, 45, a Belarus-born industrialist thought to be worth about £11billion, had the boat dreamed up by renowned French designer Philippe Starck and it launched earlier this year.

Five schoolchildren in southern Taiwan were injured when the roof of a coach they were travelling on was shockingly 'shaved off' after it collided with a vehicle height bar. Children from the city of Kaohsiung in south-western Taiwan were travelling in the northern city of Taoyuan when the crash happened on a bridge. Dashcam footage provided by a passing driver captured the moment the coach slams into the height restriction bar, which tears through the top of the vehicle where the pupils and teachers were sitting.
