Police today revealed they are hunting Anis Amri (left), 23, a refugee with 'links to Islamic extremists' who came to Germany earlier this year. His paperwork was found in the footwell of a truck used to massacre 12 people at a Berlin Christmas market (bottom right). He is probably armed, 'highly dangerous' and a member of a 'large' Islamic organisation and has weapons training abroad, security sources say. This afternoon it emerged that he had already been under investigation for planning a 'serious act of violence against the state' and counter-terrorism officials last exchanged information about him in November. This afternoon, police raided a migrant shelter in the town of Emmerich, western Germany, where he is believed to have lived. Top right: A group of refugees leave flowers at the scene of the attack.

Footage taken north of Damascus, Syria, shows a male fanatic (left and bottom right) lecturing the two children, seven and nine, about how to carry out suicide bomb attacks before they are embraced by a woman in a burka (top right). A short time later, the seven-year-old is thought to have walked into a police station in Syria's capital before being killed in an explosion. With music in the background and sitting in front of a black and white flag, the ranting extremist holds the girls in his arms as he brainwashes them.

Now we will place yet more concrete blocks and cops with guns around our Christmas markets. And hope for the best, writes KATIE HOPKINS. But there can never be enough bollards, never enough policemen wielding sub-machine guns. At Winter Wonderland in London security bag checks that force hundreds to cram together in shuffling queues have simply created another tasty target for the bombers. In truth, there is no defence against terror. It is all-pervasive. Suffocating. And here we are again. Sitting waiting for the next attack - which is highly likely, if not imminent. Sitting like ducks waiting to be picked off. Angela Merkel (left and inset) encouraged her citizens not to be paralysed by fear, standing there preaching with blood on her hands.

The puzzle, by London-based Alex Bellos, asks you to guide four people from their homes to their car through the snow, without letting their paths cross. While it may require some trial and error to solve, once you see the answer you won't believe that you didn't get it straight away.

Have you ever wondered how much it would cost to live in a scene from your favourite Christmas film? FEMAIL reveals how much the familiar properties could set us back today, including Kate Winslet's idyllic Surrey cottage in The Holiday (top left), Kevin McCallister's family home in suburban Chicago (top right), Susan's dream home from Miracle on 34th Street (below left), and Martine McCutcheon's humble London terrace in Love Actually (below right).

Jim Carrey has claimed that his ex-girlfriend Cathriona White's mother made irrelevant, false and improper allegations against him in her wrongful death lawsuit that was filed earlier this year. He also notes that he was written about lovingly in two of Cathriona White's suicide notes, while White's mother, Bigid Sweetman, was left out of the notes entirely, according to court documents obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com. Carrey has demanded that a judge strike any mention of him having sexually transmitted diseases in the wrongful death lawsuit.

The Purdy family from Hertfordshire had barely settled into their 400-year-old £865,000 dream home when it burned to the ground in a blaze earlier this month after the thatched roof caught fire. The family had wanted to warm up the five-bedroom property so lit their wood-burner for the first time since moving in. But the thatched roof caught fire and flames spread throughout the cottage, which burned for hours. Now Paul Purdy, 38, his wife Sophie, 32 and their children Oliver, three and one-year-old Madeleine, are now homeless for Christmas.

Anais Gallagher has called out her own mother Meg Matthews on Instagram after she posed for a picture on a £120 designer towel in front of a Unicef appeal.

The silhouette of a spinning dancer is playing tricks on people's visual perception and was once used to test individual's intelligence and which side of their brain was more dominate. However, experts reveal that most will see the dancer rotate clockwise because we tend to have a viewpoint from above and an attentional bias towards the right side of the body.

The Australian actress, 26, looked stunning as she walked the grounds of the private estate in Coorabell she had hired for her big day over the weekend. Margot was seen wearing a boho-inspired gown - believed to have been Oscar De La Renta - which boasted floaty sleeves and fell loosely over her slender frame. With her blonde hair loosely curled around her face, she looked every inch the blushing bride as she chatted to her young male relative.

Inside a dingy auction house in South London, a motley crew is gathering. Cockney traders, young eBay sellers, shopkeepers, charity fundraisers and tourists. The regulars glare at the first-timers suspiciously and grumble about newcomers pushing up the prices. The newcomers pretend not to notice and bury their faces in their auction catalogues. Louise Eccles, pictured, visited Greasby's, the biggest auction house in the country for lost luggage. It auctions off 200 suitcases a month which major airlines at Heathrow, including British Airways, were unable to reunite with their owners.

The trend for extreme super skinny jeans has made men and women in painfully tight trousers a common sight. We sent a model strutting down busy Kensington High Street, London, in jeans that were literally painted on to see if anyone would actually notice. Body paint artist Sarah Attwell spent two hours painting fake jeans on Kelly Klein for the MailOnline experiment. So, how many people couldn't help but glance at her 'outfit'?

The video, believed to have been filmed in Dartford, Kent, shows the Ford driver deliberately bump into the Audi, before reversing and crashing into it again. The Audi driver pursues him on foot and is nearly run over at a roundabout. A bizarre brawl ensued, in which the Ford driver wearing a blue T-shirt picks up a traffic cone to arm himself against his opponent who was carrying the hammer

Henry Hargreaves, a Brooklyn-based photographer, took pictures of the last meals served to 20 men executed this year. The most-ordered food was steak, followed by pizza - though some elected to forgo a 'special' last meal. This is a sequel to Henry's 2011 series No Seconds, which recreated last meals of famous criminals like Ted Bundy. Pictured clockwise for top left are: Trevor Hittson who murdered a Navy crewmate, Florida serial killer Oscar Ray Bollin Jr, Christopher Brooks who raped and murdered a woman, Ronald Bert Smith who murdered a store clerk.

For episode six of hit Amazon Prime show The Grand Tour Jeremy Clarkson (top right), Richard Hammond and James May all head to Finland for a festive special, featuring snowy tundras and an exchange of unusual presents. But a brief clip at the beginning of the trailer shows a red sports car cruising past London's Cenotaph (left) - a clear dig at a Top Gear stunt which saw Matt LeBlanc doing doughnut wheelspins (bottom right) next to the war memorial which prompted outrage at the time. In March Chris Evans was forced to apologise 'unreservedly' for the incident.

Edward White Benson (left) staged a service in a Truro shed that went on to inspire the Christmas Eve carol service at King's College, Cambridge. His wife Mary (second from left) had dozens of affairs with women, which she kept record of in her diary. The couple had six children, including Arthur (second from right), a confirmed bachelor who penned the words to Land of Hope and Glory, and Fred (right), the novelist behind the Mapp and Lucia series, an expert figure skater, and bachelor.

Drivers in Dawlish, Devon, face a two-mile diversion just to get down what should be one road - but developers on each side are adamant they followed plans. Now, planning authority Teignbridge District Council and roads authority Devon County Council intend to work together in the New Year to sort it out. Different developers have built on the estate with their own individual planning permissions. Carhaix Way is meant to join two neighbouring developments but there is about 1ft difference in the height between them. Local resident Kaylea Ibbeson said one delivery driver left a note on the fence rather than drive all the way round to her house, saying he was 'unable to deliver the item'.

This is the moment a welder wearing a hi-viz jacket, ginger wig and beard knocked on her half-sister's door (left) before battering her to death using a chicken-shaped ceramic pot (inset) in Hertfordshire. Yvonne Caylor, 53, went to a fancy dress shop to make herself look like a man before barging into Nicki Collingbourne's flat and launching the attack. The 26-year-old (pictured right, on the left with Caylor) was found dead in her underwear lying in a pool of blood in Ivel Court, Letchworth, by members of her family the following evening. Caylor forced her way in and carried out the attack. She spent over three hours after the killing clearing up the flat and making her half-sister's death appear like suicide. Caylor was convicted of murder and will be sentenced later today.

A new mum has shared a very honest list about all the things she wishes she'd been told about becoming a mother. Gylisa Jayne, 24, took to Facebook with a candid list of all the things no one told her about motherhood, including that all new mums are 'winging' it, and you're never alone again. Ms Jayne, from Cornwall in the UK, had her daughter Lily with her fiancé Ryan a year and a half ago.

The criminal, named locally as 40-year-old Ricardo Palazzo, pulled out his weapon after spotting Pedro Gonzalez sitting in an expensive-looking 4x4 opposite a building site. Instead of cash he ended up getting lead in his groin and a shoulder as his target fought back with a weapon he had hidden in his vehicle and blasted him three times to the ground in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Cute pictures show a baby elephant looking like he is playing peek-a-boo - and looking very much like the popular Kilroy Was Here cartoon. The calf is seen trying to grab a drink of water, with its short trunk just about reaching below the surface. The pictures were taken by guide Robbie Prehn in the Balule Nature Reserve, inside the Kruger National Park in South Africa.

This astonishing set of time travel photographs reveals how transport has changed through the ages in Liverpool. The nostalgic images of transport in the Merseyside city reveal a stark contrast between the past and modern day. A 1910 ferry can be seen passing a modern Anthony Gormley statue, while a horse and cart waits by a mini cab in Anfield. And Victorian men and women are seen waiting at Pier Head for a ferry alongside a more modern crowd. A 1960s steam train is also seen emerging from the Waterloo Warehouses while an old car is parked on a street. Other pictures are of a group of air hostesses chatting at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, the Port of Liverpool Building at Pier Head and a man and woman on a motorcycle on Market Street in Hoylake. Pictured (above): A number 40 tram travels along a snowy East Prescott Road in 1955 shortly before Liverpool's tram network was scrapped.
