The Netherlands were disqualified from the men's madison final for behaviour that 'endangers another rider' after Britain's Ollie Wood appeared to be headbutted amid tensions between the two nations in the velodrome.  A day after 'rugby on wheels' came the butt on the bike as relations between British and Dutch riders took another aggressive turn on Saturday. The flashpoint came with 40 laps remaining in the madison, when Team GB's Ollie Wood was suddenly catapulted into a hard fall after his helmet was struck from behind by that of Jan Willem van Schip.

Hamas's leaders are 'walking dead', promised Israel's defence minister Yoav Gallant after the October 7 atrocities: 'They are living on borrowed time.' The Israelis are making good on their word. Eleven days ago, the lethal efficiency of Israel's targeted assassinations was once more demonstrated to the world when the political head of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, was blown up in a guesthouse in Tehran. The Israelis have not claimed responsibility, and nor have they denied it. But everyone knows it was them. It was an extraordinary coup: the killing of one of Israel's foremost adversaries in the very heart of enemy territory. And this is the real kicker - it was on the day of the new Iranian president's inauguration. A tactical triumph for Israel. Rank humiliation for Iran.

A cup of coffee saved one passenger from boarding the doomed Brazilian passenger plane that crashed after it 'fell out of the sky' killing everyone on board. A dramatic video shows the Voepass Airlines plane come spiralling down over a populated area before it crashed near to a cluster of trees on Friday. All 62 people on board - 58 passengers and four crew have been reported dead - though relatives are still waiting for confirmation of the fate of their loved ones. One man - Adriano Assis had finished his shift at a hospital - and was running late to catch the 11:56 am flight from Cascavel to São Paulo.

Danny Cipriani's estranged wife Victoria Rose has filed for divorce, nine months after their split.  In a bombshell new interview, Victoria, 42, claimed the former rugby player blew £600 a month on drugs, messaged other women and admitted she felt 'humiliated' when he moved on with American actress AnnaLynne McCord.  Danny, 36, has previously admitted to taking cocaine, a crystallised toad psychedelic and to having so many magic mushrooms that he became convinced his Victoria was trying to kill him.

Police said they are liaising with community representatives to prevent further escalation after disorder erupted in Nailors Row. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) appealed to parents and guardians to take their children home. They warned that the disorder is presenting a 'serious risk' to the safety of residents in the area.

A classic Celine Dion song was played at Trump's campaign rally in Bozeman, Montana, shortly before he took the stage on Friday. The singer's management company has now posted a fiery response on Twitter.

With its fairytale castle facade and immaculately manicured grounds, it looks like the setting for lavish Bridgerton-style parties. But at the centre of a vast swirl of opulently decorated rooms and grand staircases sits a lone man eating dumplings.

Catfish star Nev Schulman has broken his neck in a terrifying accident in which his motorcycle collided with a truck. The 39-year-old revealed that the crash took place on Monday when he was traveling to pick up his son Cy, two, from school. He was rushed to the ICU after snapping two nerves that control his muscles - an injury that in some cases leaves the patient permanently unable to walk.

Tempsford, a lovely higgledy-piggledy mix of thatched cottages, grand houses and a smattering of more modern dwellings, has been earmarked as the prime candidate for a potential new 'supercity' with a population of 350,000 - making it the size of Coventry. So it's perhaps little wonder that when the Mail visited Tempsford this week, opposition to the plan was almost universal.

This is the moment a man clinged on to the back of a bus while holding a large knife has gone viral. The unusual clip shows the man hanging onto the back of the moving red vehicle while wielding the large weapon in Brighton , east Sussex. The man, shown wearing a blue hooded top and trousers, is then seen peering over the rear window of the bus to apparently look at passengers. Onlookers are seen watching the surfer as the double decker bus passes shops and traffic on a busy street in the city.

Michael Mongan was caught on camera shouting at the driver and punching the protective screen around his seat at 12.25pm on Wednesday in west London. The video, which has been viewed more than five million times on social media, shows Mongan spitting twice on the screen and repeatedly calling the driver a 'Muslim terrorist b*****d' and challenging him to 'get off the bus'. The driver remains behind the screen but is seen in the video goading Mongan by shouting 'come on' and beckoning him towards the screen. Mongan was quickly identified by Met officers and charged with a racially aggravated public order offence and criminal damage. He pleaded guilty to both charges at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court on Saturday, August 10. He will remain in custody until he is sentenced at the same court on Tuesday.

The team USA poster girl said she was sending 'so much love' to her teammate, telling the 23-year-old to 'keep your chin up' as she faces being stripped of the medal she won in the women's floor final on Monday. Chiles came third in the event after her score of 13.666, which had initially placed her fifth, was bumped up by 0.1 following an appeal from the US coach. But, in a shock ruling today, the Court of Arbitration of Sport ruled the judging panel were wrong to allow Chiles' score to be increased and said the initial finishing order should be restored. Chiles took to Instagram to say she was removing herself from social media 'for my mental health', while her teammate Biles said: 'Sending you so much love Jordan. Keep your chin up Olympic champ! We love you!'

The Team GB star, who can expect a flurry of sponsorship deals following her gold medal winning performance at the Stade de France on Tuesday night, said a family holiday in Marbella was her 'first priority' after leaving Paris. True to her word, the 22-yeard old was spotted boarding a yacht - in a green bikini and couture sliders - on the Costa del Sol this weekend.

This is the hilarious moment a pilot channelled his 'inner headteacher' as he told off badly-behaved passengers on a family flight to Tenerife. The TUI captain was forced to lay down the ground rules after some passengers 'pushed the bounds of what was tolerable' in the departure lounge at Glasgow Airport. He warned people 'not to let it get out of control' on the flight otherwise they could be picked up by Spanish authorities once the plane landed in Tenerife.

The black silhouette of a large cat stretching on an abandoned signage appeared in Cricklewood, north London overnight - with the artist confirming he was behind it with an Instagram post, as is his normal style. But hours later, men who said they were 'hired' from a 'contracting company' turned up in Cricklewood to take the hoarding down for safety reasons. They arrived hours after a man was seen appearing to make an attempt at prising the artwork from the hoarding - and after an earlier artwork in the animal-themed series was nicked by joyless thugs.

Trump drew a large crowd to Bozeman, Montana on Friday night, where he focused his remarks on Democrat Senator Jon Tester - and launched several crude attacks on his weight. The former president, 78, took aim at the Montana senator as the Democrat faces a tough re-election fight in November in a race that could define control of congress. 'I don't speak badly about somebody's physical disability,' Trump said, possibly noting that Tester lost three fingers on one hand in a meat-grinder accident when he was nine. 'But he's got the biggest stomach I've ever seen,' Trump added.

Freed Israeli hostage Noa Argamani has written movingly about how her heart 'has never recovered' since she was dragged away from her boyfriend on October 7. The student, who was rescued in June, has spoken for the first time of the harrowing moment she was separated from Avinatan Or. He has not been seen since haunting footage showed him watching on helplessly, surrounded by gunmen, as Hamas militants took Noa to Gaza on a motorbike. She became the face of the attack after a powerful Mail on Sunday front page captured those final seconds as she reached out to Avinatan while screaming at her captors: 'Don't kill me!'

The 43-year-old royal, who famously scooped an Olympic medal at London 2012, was competing at the NAF Magic International Horse Trials this weekend; the event is thought of as a pre-cursor to the Burghley Horse Trials next month.

Children sit on the dirt, their clothes ragged and torn, their shoes punctured with holes, but their eyes bright and fixed on what's playing out in front of them. In a corner of a refugee camp in conflict-wracked eastern Congo, about a dozen chess games are going, each one with its own fascinated audience. The Soga Chess Club doesn't have enough tables and chairs. The 'boards' are squares of paper with green and white blocks marked on them and are lined with plastic to protect them from the wear and tear coming their way. But the children's chess club founders say it's good enough to try and take these youngsters' minds away from what they've seen and experienced so far: fighting and killing, hunger and fear.

Images from the scene show the ferocity of the fire in Salter's Lane, Faversham, which was attended by 10 fire engines, a command support unit, and a height vehicle. Kent Police were made aware of the huge blaze at 12.34am and immediately raced to the scene along with Kent Fire and Rescue Service and the South East Coast Ambulance Service. Kent Fire and Rescue Service confirmed the man sadly died at the scene.

During DJ and producer Sammy Virji's performance on The Point stage, two 'massive' crowd surges were reported, forcing his performance to be cancelled. Concertgoers revealed they were left with broken bones and were covered in blood as they were 'submerged' beneath each other, with some even claiming speakers fell on to people. Multiple attendees also told MailOnline they believed people had been spiked, though this was denied by a spokesperson for the festival. Isobel Simons told MailOnline: 'My 16 year old daughter is currently at Boardmasters. She messaged me last night on Snapchat saying her friend was hurt, she had seen people's bones breaking and that she had other people's blood all over her, she thought people had broken legs and even necks.'

In Belfast , about 15,000 people are taking part in an anti-racism rally, following a week of unrest and disorder in the city, while other gatherings are taking place in cities including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Hull, Liverpool and Manchester. There were also widespread anti-fascist protests across London, with the largest gathering meeting outside Reform UK's building in Westminster before moving to Trafalgar Square for speeches. Police made early arrests ahead of demonstrations today - adding to the hundreds already detained following civil unrest in the wake of the July 29 tragedy.

If you've seen photos of Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump strutting around the Olympic Games in Paris, all might not appear as it seems. The pair of famous faces are actually two professional lookalikes who have been goofing around at the games by trolling fans with a series of social media stunts. Australian music producer Howard X, a well-known impersonator of the North Korean leader was seen posing with Donald Trump impersonator Russell White. The pair were seen posing together with with Howard X/Kim seen sticking his fingers up behind Trump's head and Russell White/Trump pointing at the camera. They have been mastering the art of creating amusing photos for internet attention during the games - with fans from around the world snapping pictures of them in action.

Gardening is shaking off its dowdy image with an influx of glamorous green-fingered influencers sharing their inventive tips online and embracing the 'garden girl' aesthetic.

A Tudor mansion featuring the ultimate work from home office complete with lake views is up for grabs for £3.8million. The Grade II listed manor house is nestled on a three-acre plot in the Warwickshire countryside which also houses a luxurious external office building. The Manor House is believed to be part of the 3rd Earl of Warwick's estate but became dilapidated from the 1970s to 1990s when it was split into two separate residences. Now restored, it features period decor including striking wooden paneling and a bespoke spiral staircase surrounded by four bedrooms and three sleek bathrooms.
