Noa Pothoven (pictured) from Arnhem, the Netherlands, died in a hospital bed in her living room after being granted euthanasia in The Hague. She had suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anorexia. In a final Instagram post the teenager wrote 'Love is letting go, in this case,' and asked her followers not to try and change her mind because she felt 'drained'. Euthanasia has been legal in the Netherlands under strict conditions since 2002. She is pictured inset with her mother Lisette, who she said had 'always been there for me'.

A crafty homeowner has tried to make to the most of Australia's housing crisis by offering a room for rent in his living room. For just $100 a week a thrifty Sydneysider could have their own private room - complete with a single mattress on the floor, foldable wardrobe and a fan. Pictures of the makeshift bedroom, which has been advertised on Facebook, show the small space in the living room with room dividers surrounding the mattress.

Four Australian restaurants have made the list of the top 100 places to eat around the globe - and an eatery in a tiny country Victorian town was among them.  Affluent readers of ritzy lifestyle magazine Elite Traveler were asked to vote on the world's hottest and best restaurants.    With Melbourne arguably the food capital of Australia, it's not surprising Vue de Monde ranked the highest in Aussie restaurants, coming in at number 65 for the world ranking. 

Expat Victoria Buchanan, 42, (right and left; and top, with her husband Mark) swallowed the resealable bag after she realised it was still in her possession while drinking a glass of champagne after she checked in with her luggage. She had earlier bought £200 worth of the Class A drug during a family visit to the UK with her husband. Onlookers at Manchester Airport initially believed Mrs Buchanan was having an anaphylactic shock and administered an EpiPen she had in her handbag for a palm oil allergy but died later at Wythenshawe Hospital. She was preparing to fly to Dubai where she lives as an expat.

Anti-Trump protesters viciously attacked a fan of the President with a milkshake in London today moments after Jeremy Corbyn's firebrand speech - and as organisers admitted the turnout fell well short of their hopes. In ugly scenes at Parliament Square, anti-Trump demonstrators chanted 'Nazi scum' at the man who insisted 'I'm here to stay' - before he was covered in a milkshake while a sole police officer tried to stop a brawl breaking out. Today's vicious attack happened after Mr Corbyn (inset) delivered a firebrand speech to anti-Trump protesters in the capital this afternoon - obliquely accusing the President of 'creating a sense of hate' and fostering racism. The President hit back at Labour's leader just minutes later and revealed he had refused to meet Mr Corbyn, called him a 'negative force' in politics and dismissed claims 250,000 people would protest against him as 'fake news'. One protest group, the Trump Babysitters, admitted only a few tens of thousands of protesters were involved in the demonstrations.

Ivanka, Tiffany, Donald Jr, Eric and his wife Lara were all brought along for the VIP tour of London's Imperial War Museum on the second day of the president's three-day trip in the UK. Eager not to miss the social media opportunity at hand, most shared the experience in snaps and stories on Instagram.

A man who chain-smoked 100 cigarettes a day 'non-stop' for 27 years has revealed how he kicked the 'filthy' habit. Walter Humphreys, 58, would puff on cigarettes from the moment he woke up at 5am until he fell asleep at night at 10pm. 'I was a walking disaster,' said the reformed smoker, from Townsville, Queensland. 'It was one after the other, mate, all day and all night.' 

Shocking footage shows the moment three men viciously attacked an off-duty police officer in a city laneway after he told them he was a cop. Wol Magot Door, 26, was identified as the instigator of the attack during his appearance in the District Court of South Australia on Tuesday. The University of Adelaide commerce student was with two others when they savagely bashed the officer in November 2015.

A hilarious gallery of pictures from around the world has revealed how far people are willing to go for a laugh at their sibling's expense. Clockwise from top left: One sister licked every toothbrush in the pot; a man framed his brother's mugshot as a gift; a little boy who's had enough; lettuce bedding for a visiting sister; bragging over a game of UNO, and a present 'wrapped' in cement.

A working mother has revealed how she shed nearly half her body weight the old-fashioned way by simply running and tweaking her diet.  Christine Groves, from Queensland, tipped the scales at 136 kilos at her heaviest after she found herself struggling to make time for exercise. The 40-year-old saw her weight ballooned after she suffered gestational diabetes - a form of high blood sugar - when she fell pregnant with each of her children. But determined to get on top of her weight once and for all, the allied health assistant dramatically shed six dress sizes in an incredible body transformation within 22 months. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, the mother-of-three spoke out about how she shed 61 kilos after she overcame her unhealthy eating habits.

Hawks and other birds of prey hover around the towering Ghazipur landfill (left) on the eastern fringe of New Delhi, stray cows, dogs and rats wander at will over the huge expanse of smoking filth. Taking up the area of more than 40 football pitches, Ghazipur rises by nearly 33 feet a year with no end in sight to its foul-smelling growth. According to East Delhi's superintendent engineer Arun Kumar, it is already more than 213 feet high, approaching the height of India's famous Taj Mahal (right) - and due to surpass it in 2020.

Michelle Paul, a 35-year-old mother-of-one from Fort Worth, Texas, died in a hospital on the island last week. Her husband, David, died days later. The pair had to be hospitalized the day before they were due to return home on May 25. While their families have been told that they died, they remain in the dark about what caused their sudden deterioration of health. On Tuesday, Michelle's father Marc Canalog told Good Morning America that she had texted him complaining that she had numb hands before she died.

While the rest of us sit and shiver at our desks after Tuesday morning's wind and rain, Instagram's leading ladies are heating up. With winter now well and truly upon us, Australia's It girls have fled the country in search of some winter sun. While some including Natasha Oakley (right) have jetted off to Bali, others including Tarsha Whitmore are soaking up the sun in Europe (left). Meanwhile, yogi Sjana Earp (inset) is currently practising her moves in the remote Komodo National Park.

An Australian fashion designer who has been candid about her difficulty falling pregnant shared the exact meals she ate to lose her baby weight after giving birth late last year. Co-owner of Sabo Skirt Thessy Kouzoukas (pictured), 29, weighed 53kg before she gave birth to her daughter via IVF, and at her heaviest she weighed 75kg after. She's currently at 59.7kg - just 6.5kg away from the weight she wanted to be when she walks down the aisle towards longtime partner Georgio Batsinilas in Greece next month.

Dashcam footage from the truck captured the risky manoeuvre (left and right) at Beresfield, a north-western suburb in Newcastle, on the NSW central coast, on Thursday. The heavy vehicle is seen driving at a steady 50km/h down the road with a constant stream of cars flowing along the opposite lane. Before long an oncoming police cruiser turns on its siren before the driver of the vehicle attempts a three-point-turn.

It's one of the biggest nights in the fashion industry calendar. And so it's no surprise that just about anyone who wants to be seen as a style icon was at the 2019 CFDA Fashion Awards in Brooklyn, New York, on Monday night. Among the stylish stars leading the way on the pink carpet were Jennifer Lopez, recipient of the night's Fashion Icon Award, and models Gigi and Bella hadid and Emily Ratajkowski.

The Australian Taxation Office is specifically targeting the 9.6 million Australians who make individual claims  - not business returns - as it attempts to collect more tax and fill the $8.7 billion 'tax gap'. They have warned they will double the number of audits on individuals and crack down on claims involving property (top right, stock image), laundry (bottom right, stock image), work cars (bottom left, stock image) and mobile and internet bills (top left, stock image) claimed for work purposes.

Set on a 650 metre rocky pinnacle in Goulds Country, Tasmania, is a brand new castle-inspired home designed for those looking to escape and relax in total serenity. The two bedroom property has wowed guests with panoramic views over the eastern and northern coastlines and offers double-glazed windows and hydronic heating to combat the 'rugged' and unpredictable windy weather.

Harry Shaw, whose message of goodwill inspired Lewis Hamilton (inset) to race to victory in the Spanish Grand Prix, passed away at his home in Surrey after a 10-month battle with cancer. The five-year-old was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma aged four and recently given one week to live. Little Harry had 'inspired' Hamilton after sending him a good luck message ahead of his race in May. The Formula One ace subsequently dedicated his win to the youngster and sent the trophy and one of his cars to Harry's home (left and right).

German soldiers recalled the fear they felt as they waited for the invasion of June 6, 1944, the shock at the size of the armada they faced, and their struggle to survive the onslaught in Normandy on D-Day. Stefan Heinevezm, 20, told of how a man was 'literally shot to pieces in front of me' by advancing Allied troops, while Joseph Häger described his hour of fighting near Omaha beach as 'the most terrible time of my life'. Others, posted in machine-gun nests, told how the fighting began with them cutting down American troops as they advanced through the surf, before ammunition ran short and they were forced to retreat, when they were either shot or captured. One, named only as Helmut, say Polish conscripts shoot their German commander rather than fight any longer. Up to 9,000 German soldiers died in a single day of fighting along with up to 10,000 Allies in what was the largest amphibious invasion ever launched.

Rumours have been swirling for months that Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough are trying to start a family together. And on Sunday, the newly-married couple looked very clucky indeed as they doted over a friend's baby at a baptism service in Sydney.  Jasmine, who is the child's godmother, looked particularly smitten with the infant. 

Ferries between Sydney's CBD and Manly have been cancelled after boats were smashed by dangerous swells. Terrifying videos taken on board ferries showed waves pummelling the boats, causing water to pour onto the deck as passengers sought refuge inside. The city is being battered by wild winds which are now threatening to cancel flights, with both Qantas and Virgin Australia warning passengers to keep an eye on the Sydney Airport website. Meanwhile, towns in the Blue Mountains have been completely cut off from Sydney thanks to snow closing roads and causing chaos on the rails.

A Qantas flight from Bali to Sydney descended into chaos on Tuesday when a woman refused to get out of the toilet and the plane landed with her still inside. The woman locked herself in the bathroom on flight QF44 from Denpasar before the flight began to descend.  Flight attendants repeatedly banged on the door and shouted at her to get out and sit down, but the woman refused.

While traditional backpacking jobs include picking fruit and farm work there is a growing number of travellers heading to Australia's Top End to work as traffic controllers (pictured). It might not be the most glamorous work but holding stop/slow signs along the side of the road in high-vis gear pays up to $50 an hour on weekends. And your chances of getting work as a traffic controller in a once male-dominated field are now much better if you're a woman. Of the 25 staff at Trafficwerx NT, 18 are women.
