EXCLUSIVE: Passengers said the man was 'quiet all the flight' from Faro, Portugal to Gatwick, until the seatbelt signs came on, and he demanded to go to the toilet. He apparently forced his way to the back of the plane and into the cubicle despite protests from staff, where he locked himself in for ten minutes. By the time Easyjet staff got him out, the captain was forced to abort the landing, and then spent an extra 40 minutes in the air and on the runway, onlookers said. Onlookers claim he tried to escape to the loos twice more after cops were called while the plane sat on the runway. He is pictured left and inset being taken off the plane by police and right after being hauled back into the airport.
The train guard, named in German media as Teresa W (pictured right), is said to have posed as a dominatrix in her railway uniform - punishing male 'passengers' who had dodged their fares.

Teresa defended her sideline but the German railway company (DB) condemned her alleged behaviour and said she had left her job at the start of this year.

Aran Katarina Kirschenmann, the American girlfriend of Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen's son, Bergur, is being kicked out of the country due to the country's stringent immigration laws. Bergur will be forced to take a temporary split from his Harvard-educated girlfriend, who has to leave the country by the end of the month. The 22-year-old social media star is too young to seek residence under Danish immigration laws. Because Kirschenmann is under the age of 24, she's not eligible to remain in Denmark following the 2002 passage of a law that was intended to end the automatic right of entry of a spouse. Kirschenmann has been living in Denmark as part of her Harvard University studies.
In 1945, the group of 300 children posed for a photograph (top) in the Old Town Square in Prague, in what was then Czechoslovakia, after they were freed from Theresienstadt concentration camp in the German-occupied country. Aged between three and 17 at the time, they were taken to the Lake District to recover from the Nazi horrors they had witnessed, and became known as the Windermere Boys. Now in 2019, 10 of them are still alive and have gathered on the same spot in Prague to take the same picture again (bottom) with hundreds of their relatives, singing songs in Hebrew and Yiddish in front of a statue of religious reformer Jan Hus.

Archaeologist Jo Anne Van Tilburg (inset) has been conducting research on Easter Island - or Rapa Nui - for nearly 40 years. She said local resources such as waster are straining under a massive influx of tourism - which saw some 150,000 people visit the island of 5,700 residents last year, mostly to visit the famous carved statues known as moai. But she said the behaviour of some of the tourists on the Chilean island is even more worrying. People 'climb on the moai, trample preserved spaces and sit on top of graves' and only seem interested in taking the perfect selfie, rather than the people or history of the island, Van Tilburg said.
WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: The film was taken in 1941 by Alfons Ziolkowski, an amateur Polish filmmaker, and is the only known footage of the Warsaw Ghetto not recorded by Nazis. Ziolkowski, a racing driver before the war started, managed to obtain a pass to enter the ghetto at a time when it was closed to the outside world and captured the lives of its inhabitants. The video shows what appear to be new arrivals clutching suitcases, children smuggling food, and guards dishing out beatings. The film laid in storage for decades before being uncovered by Eric Bednarski, who included it in a new documentary.
