Algeria has been accused of expelling thousands of migrants without food or water and forcing them to walk, sometimes at gunpoint, under a blistering sun before being left to die. Pictures show migrants coming over the horizon by the hundreds under temperatures of up to 48C. Officials from the International Organisation for Migration have warned of a looming 'catastrophe'. A European Union spokesman said the EU was aware of what Algeria was doing, but that 'sovereign countries' can expel migrants as long as they comply with international law. Algerian authorities refused to comment.

The Torture Ship is the the world's largest fetish and BDSM party taking place on a moving barge, and has been cruising Lake Constance every summer for 22 years. The annual event sees some 500 people take part in a one-night boat trip - although this year's numbers were slightly diminished due to the Germany vs. Sweden World Cup match on Saturday. Attendees, who had paid 65 euros for a ticket, were dressed up in various attire, including head-to-toe latex, horse masks and eye-wateringly tight corsets.

The bodies of Gayle Anderson, 71, and her husband Charlie, 74, (left) were discovered 'partially burned' at their house in Mount Pleasant, Jamaica (inset) on Friday afternoon - local media reported. The couple, who had retired to Jamaica from Manchester, were also said to have sustained several wounds to the neck and face. Preliminary police investigations revealed that the couple had recently been defrauded of $8million Jamaican dollars (£50,000) by credit card scammers. Police are now appealing for help from the public in solving the crime. Gayle and Charlie had been married for 50 years (pictured right on their wedding day) and were described as 'hugely popular' by their sons.
