  • Cristiano Ronaldo and his mini-me are two peas in a pod in this very cute photoshoot for the football star’s new CR7 Junior denim line. The 32-year-old Real Madrid player and his seven-year-old son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, pose up a storm, flexing their muscles while shirtless and donning matching outfits. The CR7 Junior collection is available exclusively on CR7.com and markets itself as the “future of denim” with “unrivaled mobility”. Speaking about the new line, Ronaldo explained: “For me, the CR7 Junior collection is all about having fun and being free, being creative and confident. “The stretch denim we have used in the collection is extremely comfortable due to the technical elements in the fabric, which will allow boys to run around and be active, move freely and most importantly, play.” Ronaldo — who is also father to four-month-old twins Mateo and Eva Maria and whose girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez is pregnant with his fourth child — went on: “This is why we have used the PRESS PLAY tagline for the brand. “I believe the youth of today are the ones driving the society forward in so many ways and I felt that creating a denim collection with my son would celebrate this.”. 14 Nov 2017 Pictured: Cristiano Ronaldo and his son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. pose together in a photoshoot for the Real Madrid star's new CR7 Junior denim line.

  • EXCLUSIVE: You ORCA look behind you, this incredible photo shows a diver seemingly just yards from a feeding killer whale. Norwegian teacher Svein Aasjord, 44, his wife, and three boys, live in a fjord called Kaldfjord, in northern Norway close to the city of Tromsø - 217 miles north of the Arctic Circle. As well as living in one of the stunning coastal inlets Norway is famous for, the Aasjord family also live in one which is a popular hunting channel for whales feeding on herring. Each winter millions and millions of herring feed along the Norwegian coast in rich cold-water currents. Heading north to meet them is one the largest gatherings of orca and humpback whales on earth ready to feast on the bounty. In open water the whales stand little chance against the fast-moving shoals of herring, but by herding the tiny fish into fjords the whales create hundreds of ‘bait balls’ trapping the fish at the surface before going in for the kill. Sometimes the Aasjord family’s local Kaldfjord can be literally full of herring and large numbers of orca and humpbacks hunting them. The action has been so close to the house that Svein has been able to take photographs from inside his own property. These stunning photographs are just some Svein has been able to take over the years, including some breath-taking shots of his friends SWIMMING with the hunting orcas. Svein said: “All the people that have seen that picture tell me ‘he’s going to die in the next moment’. “I shouted to my friend ‘look over here’, because I wanted him to be looking at me when one of the big males was behind him. The whale of course was not up for the diver at all, he was just up for air. “The diver is a friend of mine, he and his girlfriend are experienced divers, they are not professional divers but they dive all the time. “We shut off the engine, as I am very strict when it comes to not disturbing the whales because they are feeding and I don’t want to interfere with their live

  • **PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE** Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s former right hand woman, tucks into burger and fries at a fast-food joint in Los Angeles. Maxwell, 57, the alleged madam to the multi-millionaire paedophile, was spotted with shake al fresco at an In-N-Out Burger on Monday Aug 12 while reading “The Book of Honor: The Secret Lives and Deaths of CIA Operatives,” a nonfiction best seller by journalist Ted Gup. Sitting alone with her pet dog, she was surprised to be found and told a member of the public who immediately recognised her, and took the amazing photographs , “Well, I guess this is the last time I’ll be eating here!” Maxwell, accused in court papers of providing sex slaves for Epstein and engaging in threesomes with the financier and underage girls, had not been photographed in public since 2016. The daughter of the late, disgraced publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell has not been charged with any crimes but could find herself in the feds’ crosshairs following Epstein’s apparent jailhouse suicide Saturday. One of Epstein’s accusers, Jennifer Araoz, on Wednesday sued his estate, as well as Maxwell and three unidentified women for conspiring “to make possible and otherwise facilitate the sexual abuse and rape of [Araoz].” It’s not the first time Maxwell has been accused of luring young women and girls into the convicted pedophile’s web. Another accuser, Virginia Giuffre — who has said she had sex with England’s Prince Andrew and noted attorney Alan Dershowitz at Epstein’s command — sued the socialite for defamation in 2015 after Maxwell publicly stated Giuffre was lying about being sexually abused by Epstein. Giuffre claimed Maxwell recruited her when she was a 16-year-old spa attendant at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., and trained her to be Epstein’s sex slave. Maxwell has denied the allegations. A recently unsealed trove of documents from Giuffre’s lawsuit, which was settled out of court, ch

Heading north to meet them is one the largest gatherings of orca and humpback whales on earth ready to feast on the bounty. In open water the whales stand little chance against the fast-moving shoals of herring, but by herding the tiny fish into fjords the whales create hundreds of ‘bait balls’ trapping the fish at the surface before going in for the kill. Sometimes the Aasjord family’s local Kaldfjord can be literally full of herring and large numbers of orca and humpbacks hunting them. The action has been so close to the house that Svein has been able to take photographs from inside his own property. These stunning photographs are just some Svein has been able to take over the years, including some breath-taking shots of his friends SWIMMING with the hunting orcas. Svein said: “All the people that have seen that picture tell me ‘he’s going to die in the next moment’. “I shouted to my friend ‘look over here’, because I wanted him to be looking at me when one of the big males was behind him. The whale of course was not up for the diver at all, he was just up for air. “The diver is a friend of mine, he and his girlfriend are experienced divers, they are not professional divers but they dive all the time. “We shut off the engine, as I am very strict when it comes to not disturbing the whales because they are feeding and I don’t want to interfere with their live

  • These artistic impressions reveal the inside of the world’s first luxury space hotel — which is set to go into orbit in two years time. For an out-of-this-world-price of $9.5 million dollars, guests of the Aurora Station will get to see up to 16 sunrises in one day and float in zero gravity while traversing the planet in Low Earth Orbit at a height of around 200 miles, making for stunning views. The space station can host six people at a time, including two crew members for a 12-day space adventure. The space hotel, which has been developed by US-based space technology start-up Orion Span, is set to welcome its first guests in 2022, with the station’s launch set for 2021. Frank Bunger, CEO and founder of Orion Span, said: “Our goal is to make space accessible to all.” The space station — which will be around the size of a private jet at 12 feet wide by 35 feet long — will have fun activities on board including growing food while in orbit and zero gravity ping pong. Guests, who will be able to float throughout the hotel, will also be able to have video chats to friends and family back home via high-speed wireless Internet and will receive a hero’s welcome upon their return. Mr Bunger added: “With customizable private sleeping pods, top-quality space food and luxury design details, Aurora Station is ushering in a new era of space travel, setting the bar higher than ever before.”. 24 Jan 2019 Pictured: Renderings show inside the Aurora Station, the world’s first space hotel, which is set for lift off in 2021.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Great white sharks have mysteriously vanished from one of their most popular hunting grounds in South Africa leaving tourism bosses baffled as to what has driven away one of their biggest money spinners. Theories include a fear of Orca's who have been targeting the apex predators tearing them open to eat their fatty livers as well as pollution, climate change and over fishing of much of the great whites natural prey. Between 2010 and 2016 shark spotters recorded an average of 205 great white sightings a year in False Bay which is a 600 square mile section of the Atlantic Ocean near tourist hot spot Cape Town. In 2018 they were only 50 sightings of the deadly predators made famous by the Hollywood blockbuster Jaws and so far this year not a single one of the much-feared great white shark has been spotted. And it has been two years since the Shark Spotters Applied Research Programme has picked up a signal from any of the great white’s that had been tagged by scientists and were resident in False Bay. This comes after 5 great white sharks were washed up along the South African coastline in 2017 with gaping wounds on their side with their livers having been bitten out by two killer whales in the area. The killer whales bite a large slit in the side of the great whites after attacking as a pair and then suck out the fatty liver which is 600lb meat delicacy in a phenomenon that has only recently been discovered. The two Orca’s responsible – known as Port and Starboard as their dorsal fins hang to the left on one and to the right on the other – spurned their natural prey like seals having developed a taste for shark.

  • Horrific footage shows the seas turn red with blood after more than 200 dolphins were slaughtered by locals in the Faroe Islands as part of an ancient Norse tradition. Graphic video shows the highly-intelligent animals writhing and squirming in blood as fisherman plunge metal hooks into their blow holes before severing their spines. The hunt, known locally as Grindadrap, is a tradition dating back to the 13th Century which sees local fishermen slaughter Atlantic white-side dolphins — as seen here — and long-finned pilot whales after driving the mammals towards shallow waters by closing in on them using a large semicircle of boats. Conservation group Sea Shepherd UK, which captured the stomach-churning video and images, says that according to Faroese reports 210 Atlantic white-side dolphins were killed in the most recent hunt — the 11th of the year — which took place on the coast of Hvalvik on September 11. Gory images depict the ocean as a bloodbath with scores of dolphins lying dead on the shoreline with gaping wounds across their heads. Weeks previously 180 whales were killed on the island as part of the same ritual. According to Sea Shepherd UK, which captured the footage as part of its 'Operation Bloody Fjords’ campaign, the Faroese have killed more than 62,000 pilot whales and dolphins over the past 50 years. It also claims that in 2017 alone, a total 1,691 dolphins and whales were killed in 24 grindadráp hunts in the Faroe Islands and the running total for 2018 is 561 pilot whales and 255 Atlantic white-sided dolphins. Animal activist group PETA says the sea animals endure great suffering and pain: ‘Metal hooks are driven into the stranded mammals' blowholes before their spines are cut. ‘The animals slowly bleed to death. Whole families are slaughtered, and some whales swim around in their family members' blood for hours. ‘Whales and dolphins are highly intelligent creatures and feel pain and fear every bit as much as we do.’ But authorities

  • Horrific footage shows the seas turn red with blood after more than 200 dolphins were slaughtered by locals in the Faroe Islands as part of an ancient Norse tradition. Graphic video shows the highly-intelligent animals writhing and squirming in blood as fisherman plunge metal hooks into their blow holes before severing their spines. The hunt, known locally as Grindadrap, is a tradition dating back to the 13th Century which sees local fishermen slaughter Atlantic white-side dolphins — as seen here — and long-finned pilot whales after driving the mammals towards shallow waters by closing in on them using a large semicircle of boats. Conservation group Sea Shepherd UK, which captured the stomach-churning video and images, says that according to Faroese reports 210 Atlantic white-side dolphins were killed in the most recent hunt — the 11th of the year — which took place on the coast of Hvalvik on September 11. Gory images depict the ocean as a bloodbath with scores of dolphins lying dead on the shoreline with gaping wounds across their heads.

Weeks previously 180 whales were killed on the island as part of the same ritual. According to Sea Shepherd UK, which captured the footage as part of its 'Operation Bloody Fjords’ campaign, the Faroese have killed more than 62,000 pilot whales and dolphins over the past 50 years. It also claims that in 2017 alone, a total 1,691 dolphins and whales were killed in 24 grindadráp hunts in the Faroe Islands and the running total for 2018 is 561 pilot whales and 255 Atlantic white-sided dolphins. Animal activist group PETA says the sea animals endure great suffering and pain: ‘Metal hooks are driven into the stranded mammals' blowholes before their spines are cut. ‘The animals slowly bleed to death. Whole families are slaughtered, and some whales swim around in their family members' blood for hours. ‘Whales and dolphins are highly intelligent creatures and feel pain and fear every bit as much as we do.’ But authorities

  • Horrific footage shows the seas turn red with blood after more than 200 dolphins were slaughtered by locals in the Faroe Islands as part of an ancient Norse tradition. Graphic video shows the highly-intelligent animals writhing and squirming in blood as fisherman plunge metal hooks into their blow holes before severing their spines. The hunt, known locally as Grindadrap, is a tradition dating back to the 13th Century which sees local fishermen slaughter Atlantic white-side dolphins — as seen here — and long-finned pilot whales after driving the mammals towards shallow waters by closing in on them using a large semicircle of boats.

Conservation group Sea Shepherd UK, which captured the stomach-churning video and images, says that according to Faroese reports 210 Atlantic white-side dolphins were killed in the most recent hunt — the 11th of the year — which took place on the coast of Hvalvik on September 11. Gory images depict the ocean as a bloodbath with scores of dolphins lying dead on the shoreline with gaping wounds across their heads. Weeks previously 180 whales were killed on the island as part of the same ritual. According to Sea Shepherd UK, which captured the footage as part of its 'Operation Bloody Fjords’ campaign, the Faroese have killed more than 62,000 pilot whales and dolphins over the past 50 years. It also claims that in 2017 alone, a total 1,691 dolphins and whales were killed in 24 grindadráp hunts in the Faroe Islands and the running total for 2018 is 561 pilot whales and 255 Atlantic white-sided dolphins. Animal activist group PETA says the sea animals endure great suffering and pain: ‘Metal hooks are driven into the stranded mammals' blowholes before their spines are cut. ‘The animals slowly bleed to death. Whole families are slaughtered, and some whales swim around in their family members' blood for hours. ‘Whales and dolphins are highly intelligent creatures and feel pain and fear every bit as much as we do.’ But authorities

  • EXCLUSIVE: Great white sharks have mysteriously vanished from one of their most popular hunting grounds in South Africa leaving tourism bosses baffled as to what has driven away one of their biggest money spinners. Theories include a fear of Orca's who have been targeting the apex predators tearing them open to eat their fatty livers as well as pollution, climate change and over fishing of much of the great whites natural prey. Between 2010 and 2016 shark spotters recorded an average of 205 great white sightings a year in False Bay which is a 600 square mile section of the Atlantic Ocean near tourist hot spot Cape Town. In 2018 they were only 50 sightings of the deadly predators made famous by the Hollywood blockbuster Jaws and so far this year not a single one of the much-feared great white shark has been spotted. And it has been two years since the Shark Spotters Applied Research Programme has picked up a signal from any of the great white’s that had been tagged by scientists and were resident in False Bay. This comes after 5 great white sharks were washed up along the South African coastline in 2017 with gaping wounds on their side with their livers having been bitten out by two killer whales in the area. The killer whales bite a large slit in the side of the great whites after attacking as a pair and then suck out the fatty liver which is 600lb meat delicacy in a phenomenon that has only recently been discovered. The two Orca’s responsible – known as Port and Starboard as their dorsal fins hang to the left on one and to the right on the other – spurned their natural prey like seals having developed a taste for shark. The great whites population in False Bay sea to be taking no chances and have moved to new hunting grounds away from Seal Island but it is hoped that they will in time return to their usual hunting ground. The City of Cape Town said: ”Great white sharks have been noticeably absent from False Bay during 2019 prompting questions as to when t
