Stop being so mean to Melania!

JEANETTE KUPFERMANN argues that it's time for the U.S. First Lady (pictured) to be judged on her own terms. She believes it's unfair to claim that Melania, 49, has failed to take up the altruistic mantle of her predecessors. She argues President Trump's personality colours his wife, who married him while he was no more than a real estate magnate. Jeannette says it's sexist to expect Melania to bring her husband in line and questions the real reason many have failed to warm to her.

ROBERT HARDMAN watches the momentous D-Day remembrance ceremony in Portsmouth

ROBERT HARDMAN: The cast-list featured four of the most powerful people on Earth - including the President of the United States himself. Yet they had only a supporting role. The knockout stars of this show were two nonagenarians who can remember June 1944 as if it were last week: John Jenkins (above, main image) and the Queen (bottom left). World leaders had gathered with veterans yesterday to salute the D-Day generation on the Channel coast where it all started. All the allied nations - plus the old enemy - gathered in Portsmouth. Southsea Common had been transformed into a fortified open-air theatre with grandstand seating for 300 veterans and their families plus the world leaders. Pictured top-left are the Red Arrows, bottom-right a performance which included a risqué knicker-flashing dance sequence, and Sheridan Smith (inset). Top-right is the MV Boudicca, a cruise ship chartered by the Royal British Legion to take more than 250 fellow veterans to the 75th Anniversary of D-Day commemorations.

The president replied: 'You could handle it, there's no question about it.' The President spoke to Mr Cuthbert, who served at D Day, at a reception following the commemorations marking the 75th anniversary of the landings in Portsmouth.

Dumbfounded by the news, Mr Chardin joked 'now you tell me!'. The World War II veteran appeared on camera during the commemorations earlier today in Portsmouth.

World's first 360-degree infinity pool set to be built on top of a 700ft-tall London

Death-defying swimming pools are apparently set to become the latest architectural trend in central London. That's according to a firm that has designed the world's first 360-degree infinity pool, which will sit on top of a 55-storey, 722ft (200m) skyscraper called Infinity London. The 600,000-litre pool features see-through acrylic sides and a transparent floor, so people below will be able to see the swimmers far above. Swimmers will access it through a rotating spiral staircase based on the door of a submarine, rising from the pool floor when someone wants to get in or out.

As they posed for the final photograph at the D-Day 75 commemoration event in Portsmouth (bottom right), the President told the Queen: 'It was a great honour to be with you' and Her Majesty replied: 'I hope you come to this country again soon'. Mr Trump was heard saying: 'Great woman. Great, great woman' as he and Melania went to board his Marine One helicopter.

Explosive truth about Chernobyl: As the heart-stopping climax to the hit TV drama about the 1986 nuclear disaster reveals, a series of blunders triggered the impossible

Mikhail Gorbachev, the last president of the Soviet Union, once said that Chernobyl was 'perhaps the real cause' of the state's collapse. At the very least, the explosion in Reactor 4 on the night of April 26, 1986, (inset) hastened the end of the 'Evil Empire'. The blast emitted more than 400 times the amount of radiation into the atmosphere than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Estimates of the numbers who died in the aftermath vary between 4,000 and 93,000, many of them children. More than 300,000 people were evacuated from a contaminated area covering 1,000 square miles and much of the 'dead zone' is still a no-go area. But an acclaimed new TV dramatisation of the disaster (pictured, engineers try to stabilise the reactor by pressing the AZ-5 failsafe button) and the months that followed has revealed the scarcely believable levels of incompetence, irresponsibility and cost-cutting that combined to create a perfect storm.
