A father who brutally murdered his four-month-old daughter after she cried while he was playing Call of Duty has been jailed for a minimum of 16 years.   Jordan Lee, 29, who was given a life sentence at Preston Crown Court on Friday, was heard shouting at baby Willow Lee to 'shut up' before carrying out the 'horrific assault' on December 3 last year, a spokesman for Lancashire Police said.

Sitting behind the steering wheel of my beloved ‘Aubergine’ — my nickname for my purple Chrysler PT cruiser — I suddenly realised that I was hopelessly stuck. I was attempting to navigate a maze of narrow streets in the heart of Gallipoli, the town in southern Italy.  I’d managed to get half-way round a corner, but was now unable to move forward — or backwards — without scraping the sides of the Aubergine. Somehow, my bumper had become hooked on some stone steps that thrust out into the alleyway. Around me, a crowd of bemused onlookers had gathered amid the scorching heat of the Italian summer, to see how on earth the pink-cheeked signora inglese would manage to extricate herself from this situation — a question I was also asking myself. My saviour came in the form of Marco, a genial local man who opened the driver’s side door. Waving me over to sit in the passenger seat, he said in heavily accented English: ‘You move, I drive.’ Burning with feminist indignation I might have been, but

Authorities in Rio de Janeiro recovered human remains near a river where the bodies of three missing boys may have been dumped in December 2020. The Baixada Fluminense Homicide Police Station made the gruesome discovery Friday morning, just two days after a man came forward and told authorities that his brother had a role in tossing away bags that contained the bodies of the missing children. Brazilian digital news outlet G1 reported authorities found bones that resembled ribs as well as strands of hair. The evidence was transferred to the forensic unit at the Institute of Legal Medicine. “We don’t know anything,” the uncle of one of the boys told online news portal Extra. “The police have not communicated anything to us officially. We still have the same suffering of not knowing what happened to the boys.” Lucas Matheus da Silva, 9; Alexandre da Silva, 11; and Fernando Henrique Ribeiro Soares, 11, were last seen together the morning of December 27, 2020. They had left their home in Ri

Six passengers who sailed on a Royal Caribbean ship tested positive for COVID-19 near the end of their cruise and were immediately quarantined, the company said Friday. The passengers - four adults and two minors - were on the Adventure of the Seas ship for a 7-day trip that left the Bahamas last Saturday and returned on Friday, said Royal Caribbean spokeswoman Lyan Sierra-Caro.  They were tested on Thursday while the ship was at sea. The adults were all vaccinated against COVID-19, Sierra-Caro said, and one has mild symptoms of the virus while the other three do not. They were not traveling together.

Ariarne Titmus and Katie Ledecky reignite their rivalry for the fourth and final time on Saturday as they battle for the women's 800m freestyle. Titmus has won both individual events against America's greatest ever female swimmer so far, taking gold in the 200m and 400m freestyle. The USA star produced a stunning anchor leg of the women's 4x200m relay to overtake Australia for silver but dominates the longer races, comfortably winning the 1500m earlier these Olympics. It will be the final time Titmus swims at the Tokyo Games which have made her a household name in Australia and around the world.  Teammate Kaylee McKeown, who won the hearts of Aussies with a charming interview following her 100m backstroke gold, is back in the pool chasing more medals in the 200m backstroke alongside veteran Emily Seebohm. Australia will also compete for the 4x100m mixed medley on Day 8 of the Olympic Games.  The world's best male and female tennis player will face off as well as Austral

President Joe Biden on Friday warned Cuba could face more sanctions unless there was 'drastic change' on the island. Earlier in the day, his administration announced new sanctions against Cuba's national revolutionary police and its top two officials as the U.S. looks to increase pressure on the communist government following this month's protests on the island.  'There will be more or less are some drastic change in Cuba, which I don't anticipate,' the president said during a meeting at the White House with Cuban-American leaders.   In his remarks, Biden called the situation in Cuba 'intolerable,' blasted the regime's censorship of the internet, called Cuban-Americans the best ambassadors for Cuba and described the government a failed regime.   'We are increasing direct support for the Cuban people by pursuing every option available to provide internet access to help the Cuban people bypass the censorship that s being mandatorily imposed.

Emma McKeon has cemented herself as swimming's sprint queen after claiming gold in the women's 100m freestyle at the Tokyo Olympics ahead of her great friend Cate Campbell. The 27-year-old bounced back from the disappointment of the women's 4x200m relay on Thursday and fought off teammate Campbell and Hong Kong's rising star Siobhan Haughey to win her second gold medal of the Games. McKeon led from start to finish in the race, breaking another Olympic record after setting the competition's fastest ever time earlier during her heat.  Campbell told the gold medallist: 'I'm so proud of you' as the pair embraced in the pool immediately after her win. 'I can't believe it, it doesn't feel real. I can feel my emotions bubbling up now,' McKeon said following the race. 'It's been a rollercoaster this week, my emotions are all over the place and I know my family are back home watching. I felt them with me during the race and they're par

She was once the glamorous brunette whose lover, the notorious John Stonehouse MP, scandalised Westminster. The former Labour cabinet minister faked his own death and was jailed for seven years for fraud, but his loyal secretary-turned-wife Sheila Buckley stood by him to the end. More than 40 years on, Ms Buckley, now 80, cuts a very different figure in the secluded cul-de-sac where she now lives a sedate life, pruning her roses and helping clients with their tax returns. Her auburn locks have been replaced by grey and there is little hint of the sparkle in the green eyes that once captivated Stonehouse, the subject of two new biographies, who, despite being 21 years her senior, embarked on a torrid affair with her when she was working as his parliamentary secretary in the 1970s. John Stonehouse's mistress Sheila Buckley is pictured today some 47 years after she was at the centre of the rogue MP's spectacular downfall when he faked his own death. Ms Buckley was Stonehouse'
