Donald Trump's would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was spotted on the roof 26 minutes before he opened fire, a bombshell new report claims. Cops at the scene noticed Crooks, 20, on top of the building just 130 yards away from the rally stage and took two photos of him because he was acting suspiciously, sources told WPXI. It's not clear if he had the AR-style rifle on him when he was first seen or if he stayed on the roof for the whole time.

Jenny Chappell's childhood came to an abrupt end in August 1990, the summer she was turning 13. On August 1, she and her brother, 14, were to fly to India, where their parents lived, for the holidays. They had taken the exact same flight the previous summer - London to Kuala Lumpur via Kuwait, then Madras (now Chennai) - only this time they were travelling with mum and dad, who had come back to the UK to stock up on favourites they could not get in India, such as Jacob's Cream Crackers, and to collect items for their flat.

Pro-independence Scottish newspaper apologises for 'leaning into lazy stereotypes' after

The National's front page on Saturday featured Spanish midfielder Rodri kicking an overweight, tattooed England fan who had been photoshopped into the shape of a football. In bold red ink, the paper's headline stated it was Spain's 'time for revenge' as it accused English people of 'sponging off' Spain's public services. The paper wrote: 'Every summer, they fill up your beaches. They drink all your beer. They make a mess of your plazas. They eat fried breakfasts all day instead of your wonderful food. They retire in your towns, and sponge off your public services. Ni siquiera se molestan en aprender el idioma! (They don't even bother to learn the language!) The National says it's… Time for revenge! Our message to Spain: Save us from an England win (or we'll never hear the end of it!).'

Hugs for the road: Gareth Southgate and his England players embrace each other as they go

Pictures seen by MailOnline show Gareth Southgate shaking hands and hugging his England players, who appeared despondent following their Euros final defeat.

Are true crime documentaries inspiring a new wave of young female killers? Psychologist

There was no reason to suspect Fiona Beal might have murdered her boyfriend Nicholas Billingham - nor, indeed, that Billingham had even gone missing. After Beal killed the 42-year-old in November 2021, she sent messages to his family and friends from his phone, purporting to be him and claiming they'd split up. She even invited Billingham's mother for tea as her son's decomposing body lay feet away. She might have got away with her crime had police, concerned over reports of her mental health, not visited Beal, a respected primary school teacher, at a rented chalet in Cumbria, where they found her diary - and in it what amounted to a confession. 'While he was in the bath, I kept the knife in my dressing gown pocket and then hid it in the drawer next to the bed,' Beal, 50, had written, before describing her attempts to dispose of her controlling boyfriend's corpse, which was 'harder than I thought it would be. Hiding a body was bad. Moving a body is much more difficult than it looks on TV'.

He was 50 years old.

Unravelling the mystery of the 77 beached whales in Orkney: Experts reveal the devastating

It's a tragic and 'heartbreaking' sight - 77 dead whales lined up on the shore at a beach in Orkney. Described as the biggest mass stranding in Britain for a century, it includes male whales up to seven metres (22ft) long as well as females, calves and juveniles. It's thought they suffocated by inhaling water from the oncoming tide or had their internal organs crushed by their own weight. But how did so many of them become beached at once? And why were they driven to shore? MailOnline spoke to marine biologists and whale experts in an attempt to unravel this devastating mystery at the isle of Sanday.

Two women demanded they be given sunbeds close to the sea, putting them in front of people who had already been on the beach for hours, a local government official said , citing a witness.
