Former Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett was airlifted to hospital on Wednesday following a horror car crash that saw her crash into a concrete wall and lose consciousness. The 36-year-old soap star was pictured mere hours before the crash (left) as she recorded a segment in York Town Centre ahead of taking part in a stock car race at Hunmanby Raceway. She lost control of the vehicle while racing for her Minster FM breakfast show, and crashed and had to be freed from the wreckage by firefighters (main. Roxanne then had to remain in the wreckage for two hours as firefighters worked to cut her free, before being airlifted 41 miles to Hull Royal Infirmary. The Station Manager for the Scarborough district of the Fire and Rescue team live tweeted the incident and revealed Roxanne's injuries were 'not believed to be serious'. It is believed she suffered severe bruising and two sprained wrists and is awaiting the results of a CT scan to check for further damage. Earlier in the day, Roxanne was seen in York Town Centre pulling a prank for her radio show that saw her pretend to cry to see how many members of the public would come to her aid. Roxanne played Jo Sugden in the ITV soap Emmerdale from 2005 to 2009 but recently announced plans to retire from acting to pursue a career in radio.

Amy Nickell, 27, (pictured) discovered she was pregnant (pictured inset) with her son Freddy (pictured together right) when she was age 24 after being in a relationship with his father for a few months. A graduate from Leeds University, Amy had begun her career as a reporter at Yahoo interviewing celebrities on the red carpet and was living in North London. She recalls feeling ashamed and terrified of other people's reaction. Now age 27, Amy shares how she turned being a young single mother who is often mistaken as Freddy's nanny into a positive thing.

Astonishing video footage (left) captured at a street demonstration in Paris shows French President Emmanuel Macron's deputy chief of staff Alexandre Benalla (pictured on duty right), who is in his mid-30s, attacking two young protesters, one female, one male. The senior Elysee Palace official had put on a police helmet (pictured inset), despite not being authorised to do so. He can clearly be seen first of all grabbing a young woman by the neck at the demonstration on May 1 - a traditional day of street action that this year saw hundreds of thousands campaigning across France against Mr Macron's employment reforms. Benalla then turns his attention to a bearded Left-wing activist who has been apprehended by gendarmes. The burly Benalla pulls the man away from the police, and starts slapping him around the head by himself.

Sir Cliff Richard has revealed the devastating impact of his four-year legal battle with the BBC after it finally came to an end today, confessing he 'won't go anywhere near children' again. The popstar said the harrowing toll of the case on his day-to-day life means he will 'never completely recover' from the ordeal and he no longer comes into contact with other people's children for fear of the repercussions. His words came after a High Court judge ruled the BBC had invaded his privacy by broadcasting a police raid of his house live on TV after he was linked to a child sex abuse claim. No charges were ever brought against the 77-year-old and he was today awarded £210,000 in damages. The corporation could be left with a bill of up to £5million after the case dragged on for four years. Mr Justice Mann said the BBC had infringed the star's privacy rights in a 'serious and sensationalist way' and increased the damages because the corporation boasted about its 'scoop of the year' at an awards event. Speaking to ITV News straight after the decision, he said: 'I used to use it [a tunnel linking Centre Court and Court One at the Wimbledon tennis tournament] regularly to go and see the matches I was interested in on Court One and it went right past the ball boys dressing room. I won't go there now. I won't go anywhere near children. Why? I've spent my whole life hugging people's grandchildren.'

President Donald Trump is taking a much tougher line on Russian President Vladimir Putin in a new CBS  interview than he did just days ago in Helsinki at Putin's side. He says he warned Putin in private on election meddling: 'We're not going to have it, and that's the way it's going to be.'

Putin can be seen smiling and nodding in the clip as he is introduced to Melania by President Trump in Helsinki, Finland on Monday. Melania, who is a few inches taller than the ex-spy strongman, also smiles during the handshake in an apparently natural way. But as soon as Putin releases her hand and diverts his attention elsewhere, Melania pulls a bizarre face representing what appears to be her shock or horror. She widens her eyes and wobbles her head as the camera looks directly at her. The video has now gone viral, prompting an outpouring of astonishment and confusion on Twitter. It comes after President Trump sought to clarify comments he made during the press conference with Putin. He was widely attacked for appearing to side with Putin rather than his own intelligence agencies over the Russian state's involvement in hacking the Democratic Party during the 2016 election.

Almost 28 years ago, younger and more idealistic, I sat in the Commons press gallery and watched Sir Geoffrey Howe impale Margaret Thatcher with a sour, mocking resignation (pictured top right). Just before 3pm yesterday, former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson (pictured left and bottom right) rose to make his own personal statement. It lacked the theatre of Howe's ambush, for the House was not as full as it was that autumnal afternoon in 1990, but Boris's performance projected a sense of 'can-do' and it was joke-free. He spoke with a piercing seriousness. Was Boris about to skewer Theresa May? No. That was not the intention. He put aside any Prince Hal boisterousness. He forsook cheap shots and played things responsibly, WRITES QUENTIN LETTS.

In today's prices, it is believed to be worth around $133billion (£102billion).

A new study reveals moisturisers with SPF provide less sun protection than the equivalent-strength sunscreen, because we don't apply them as liberally as sun cream. Claire Coleman compared a selection of products in an experiment at L'Atelier Aesthetics on London's Harley Street and Visia to see the difference in how they respond to UV light. In these pictures, the light blue patches of skin indicate poor levels of protection. The darker the skin in the picture, the better protected it is. Make-up face powder (pictured top centre) with SPF 30 proved to be the worst for protecting skin with a UV score of 9/100. Meanwhile La Roche-Posay suncream (pictured top left) gave almost full protection with a UV score of 97/100.

Pennsylvania's highest court on Wednesday overturned the conviction of a man who was 11-years-old at the time he shot dead his father's pregnant fiancée in 2009.  The state Supreme Court's 5-0 ruling clears 20-year-old Jordan Brown of wrongdoing, his lawyers say, in the slaying of 26-year-old Kenzie Houk, who was eight months pregnant when she was found dead in the family's rural western Pennsylvania farmhouse. It reversed a finding by a juvenile court judge in Lawrence County, upheld by a state appellate court, that Brown was guilty of first-degree murder and homicide of an unborn child. The court said prosecutors had not provided enough evidence to support it.

A stretch of the Kennet and Avon Canal in Wiltshire was reduced to little more than a puddle after the water drained away. A spokesman for the Canal and River Trust, which is responsible for waterways in England and Wales, said the incident was not malicious. The boater was 'rushing' and accidentally left the paddles up. Locks along the canal are used to lift or lower boats from one level to another. The paddles and the lock gates control the level of the water in the lock, allowing it to rise and fall so boats can be lifted or lowered.The paddles were left open at Lock 18 near the Barge pub at Seend. As only one stretch of canal was affected, the Trust was able to restore water levels.

When Hitler annexed Austria in 1938, the Nazis had seized custody of the Spanish Riding School in the capital Vienna and proudly claimed it and its unsurpassed white stallion Lipizzaners (pictured main) as symbols of Teutonic greatness. However, in 1942, while the stallions remained in Vienna, the brood mares were transferred to the ownership of the German Army and shipped hundreds of miles away to a secret 1,500-acre stud at the little town of Hostau in Czechoslovakia (pictured inset). There, one of Hitler's eugenicists, Gustav Rau, was assembling 600 of the best horses from all over Europe to breed what he promised his Fuhrer would be a new super-horse fitting for the so-called Aryan master race. They included championship racehorses from France and thoroughbred Arabs, but the purest of all, the Lipizzaners - small in stature but renowned for their calm temperament - were to be the base of the new bloodline. There were 250 at Hostau. The existence of this vast breeding ranch - along with 150 Allied prisoners-of-war held there to care for the horses - was unknown until the spring of 1945 when a German officer went out of his way to surrender to a U.S. Army unit advancing through southern Germany and nearing the border with Czechoslovakia. He came with a desperate request. 'You must save these horses,' he told his captors. What concerned him was that the Soviet army was just 40 miles east of Hostau and closing fast.
