The 26-year-old man responsible for the alleged rampage in Melbourne's city centre on Friday has been identified as Dimitrious Gargasoulas. The Melbourne resident has a history of mental health and drug-related issues and was charged with family violence offences last weekend. On Friday afternoon police shot the 26-year-old in the arm before dragging him out of a car and arresting him after he allegedly drove his car through the CBD killing three people. A baby is among four people who have been killed after a car 'deliberately' ploughed into pedestrians in Melbourne's city centre during the lunchtime rush.

The pair arrived at the candlelit event held in the Main Hall of the city's busy Union Station, which thousands have passed through this week as they flock to the capital, after a concert at Lincoln Memorial.

Alec Baldwin took to the podium at an anti-Donald Trump rally in New York on Thursday night to carry out his impression of the president-elect. Celebrities, including Robert de Niro and Cher, joined several thousand protesters on the streets of New York near the Trump International Hotel on Thursday night to protest against the president-elect. Protesters also gathered outside Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C. on Thursday night with police apparently clashing with the crowd.

Ivana Trump was photographed leaving her New York City townhouse on Thursday afternoon and making her way down to Washington DC, where on Friday she will watch as her first husband Donald is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. She will be joining her three children with Donald - Donald Jr., Ivanka (inset top in 1998) and Eric - as well as her eight grandchildren for the big day in the nation's capital. And also scheduled to attend will be Donald's second wife Marla Maples, who was accused at the time of breaking up Ivana's marriage to the billionaire businessman. When asked as she was leaving her home on Thursday if she thought her ex-husband would make a good president, Ivana said: 'Yes, he will.'

The former Ukip leader, who was the first British politician to meet Mr Trump after his election win, posed with Andy Wigmore, Lord Ashcroft, Governor of Mississippi Phil Bryant and Arron Banks (main picture, left to right) outside the historic Mayflower Hotel in the city last night. Mr Farage later attended a lavish party at the five-star Hay-Adams Hotel on Thursday evening to celebrate Mr Trump's inauguration. Guests at the British-hosted event (Mr Farage pictured with Judge Jeanine Pirro top right) were handed Champagne and mini portions of fish and chips (bottom right). Mr Farage said last night: 'We've had Brexit and perhaps that contributed just a little bit to things changing in the USA and who's to say that bandwagon won't continue to roll in 2017 across much of Europe.' He will attend Mr Trump's inauguration later today.

Doherty, 57 (inset bottom) - who won Celebrity Big Brother 8 - was among mourners (bottom right) who flocked to St Kentigerns RC Church, in Fallowfield, Greater Manchester, to attend the funeral of Ellen McDonagh (inset top), a prominent member of the travelling community who was 'known across England'. The popular mother-of-six, who also had 40 grandchildren, was diagnosed with cancer in her kidneys, which spread to her bowel and her lungs. She died in hospital earlier this month. Speaking after the funeral, her family said she was well known in the traveller community and 'everyone had respect' for her. They added: 'Her nickname was Queen of the Gipsies. She was known across Ireland and England. Everyone always said what a good woman and person she was.' Pictured: The funeral cortege makes it way through Manchester (left) and flowers with the words 'Mammy' are laid in the hearse (bottom right).

The last remaining couple from the Married At First Sight 2016, Caroline and Adam (right) have split up after just five months together and the bride is selling her Vera Wang dress online for £850. The couple instantly hit it off on their wedding day (left) but news of the split emerged as Carol revealed they had not spent New Year's Eve together (inset).

WouldISurviveANuke.com interactive map was created by Seattle-based Britton Matthews, in the hopes of showing that 'there really is no surviving a nuclear war.' When testing the map, it was found that if a Tsar Bomba 50 megaton nuclear bomb was to hit London, it would result in near certain death for everyone in the capital.

Fierce winds reduced the barn to rubble in seconds just yards away from where Michael Mellors and wife Peta (pictured left) slept in their country farmhouse. The Mellors couple was woken by the noise of hail and wind at about 5am - as the restored barn 'literally imploded' in the whirlwind. The family had restored the 17th century barn for their daughter's plush wedding (shown right inset) just three years ago. And retired surveyor Michael, 68, kept his treasured classic BMW Z3 sports car (left inset), vintage tractors and their beloved camper van called Freda in the barn. Neighbours of the couple at their farm near the village of Llandefalle, Wales have rallied round with offers of help but the clean-up operation (shown main) is likely to cost retired surveyor Mr Mellors, 68, and his wife thousands of pounds.

National Geographic has compiled a list of the best beaches in the world and includes unspoilt relaxing spots, dramatic coastlines as well as places perfect to explore the diverse marine wildlife. The top beach to make the list of the top 21 beaches in the world is Lazy Beach in Cambodia, which is praised for its silky white sand and crystalline waters. This is in direct contrast to Reynisfjara Beach in Iceland, which has ink black sand and basalt sea stacks. Pictured are, top, from left - Lazy Beach, Cambodia, Playa del Amor in Mexico and Shell Beach in Western Australia. Pictured bottom are - Noordwjk beach in the Netherlands, Reynisfjara Beach in Iceland and Piscinas Beach in Sardinia.

The ice spikes have been spotted across the UK, ahead of a warning issued by the Met Office of freezing forecasts this weekend. A Level-2 cold weather warning has been upgraded in southern England to a more serious Level-3 warning, urging 'action'. The ice spikes form when water freezes, but temperatures are not cold enough and there is a breeze. People across the UK have posted pictures of ice spikes appearing in their gardens, on Twitter.

The puzzle, which comes from a new book by London-based Alex Bellos, requires you to transform two triangles made from six matches into four triangles, by moving just two matches. The key lies in the fact that the matches are allowed to overlap - but even knowing that, it'll take a few goes to solve.

Richard Procter (pictured left) claims he was handed the cup (right) in the Starbucks at Ashford International railway station in Kent by the callous barista last Friday morning. The employee appears to have daubed Mr Procter's name around the lip of the cup with extra letters and an ellipsis to indicate where he struggled with a speech impediment.

A shocking video shows disability campaigner Kerdesan Gallardo (inset, top left) attempting to get on a packed bus outside the Supreme Court in London. The courthouse had just minutes before seen a new decree rule that wheelchair users should be given greater priority over mothers with baby buggies on buses. As Ms Gallardo tries to board the 148 to Shepherd's Bush, she points out to the driver that an empty buggy is in the priority space (inset). The driver goes upstairs to find the mother, but she seemingly refuses to budge, causing other passengers to become irate at Ms Gallardo for holding up the bus (main picture). It comes after bus drivers were told they must now do more to force non-wheelchair users to vacate the 'priority' space if required by a disabled person.

Peggy Allcroft collapsed at her home in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, after her husband John (both pictured left and inset) died of lymphoma hours before. She had been discussing his funeral arrangements when she died. Tests are still underway to establish the cause of Peggy's death but doctors believe she passed away from natural causes. The couple's daughter Julia Waller (pictured right with the couple, in their last photograph together, and their great-granddaughter Beatrix) said she thought her mother had died of a 'broken heart'.

There is an optical illusion online that asks people how many faces they can find hidden among the flowers. They can see six but how many can you spot? The illustration, posted by Playbuzz, claims that only the keen-eyed can see them. They have been able to spot six but how many can faces can you find?

Dashcam video, filmed near Rhyl in north Wales, shows the oncoming Audi attempting to overtake a white Clio before apparently clipping its rear. The Audi briefly went up on two wheels, and headed towards the van driver, who swerved left to avoid a crash. The owner of the van, an electrical contractor, said: 'I immediately slammed on the brakes and steered into the road junction on the left.'

A Spanish bagpipe band have performed an astonishing version of rockers AC/DC's famous song Thunderstruck. The band - Rondalla de Santa Eulalia de Mos - played their piece wearing traditional local outfits. A video of their version became a social media favourite after it received nearly one million views in just a few days. Backed up by Spanish maracas and drums they rip through the song as an ecstatic crowd cheers them on. The group - who come from Pontevedra in north-western Spain's Galicia region - normally perform regional music. But they astonished the audience at a traditional music festival to celebrate the end of Spain's Three Kings festival when they performed the rock anthem. The band - who have also played their version of the Game of Thrones theme - have been astonished by the reaction.

When Brendan Curran (right) popped into a Tesco store, he was probably hoping that the most exciting thing to happen might be finding a few decent discounts. But he was astonished after spotting a photo of another bearded man (left) - who looked exactly like him - on a poster at the shop in Britain advertising a ham sandwich. 'Iain' had the same hair, bushy beard and glasses as Mr Curran, and the picture of him advertising a 'proper croque monsieur' prompted the shopper to contact Tesco. He tweeted the supermarket to say: 'Here! Tesco if you've cloned me, a heads up would've been nice. Any chance Iain can cover my shift at work tonight?' He said: 'It's all a bit surreal. I had it sent to me by a lot of friends. I was taken aback by the likeness. I run a nightclub and a lot of folk were confused as to why I was masquerading punting sandwiches for a supermarket.'

Wayne Rooney was certainly turning heads as he arrived to training in a bright orange Bentley GT (shown main). The Manchester United captain arrived at the club's Carrington complex in the £250,000 motor - the fourth supercar he's been seen driving in three weeks. Rooney, 31, has also spotted in the front seat of a £104,000 BMW i8 (bottom left), a £50,000 Audi Q7 (bottom middle) and a £112,000 Overfinch Range Rover Sport (bottom right) this month. The collection of incredible cars is unlikely to have made much of a dent in the bank balance of Rooney, however, who is estimated to be worth around £80million. The England skipper is something of a petrol head, having owned several luxury motors during his career, including an Aston Martin, a Mercedes and a Cadillac.

Reclusive Russian oligarch Valery Kogan, 64, spent £3.5million on hiring Mariah Carey and Sir Elton John to sing at his granddaughter's wedding at London's five star The London Landmark hotel. Now the businessman's vast fortune is revealed with an £80 million megamansion in Israel designed with gold pillars, gold leaf and designed to look like the White House, main picture, and a 'billionaire's bunker' Miami, inset top left, as well as a £25million penthouse in Tel Aviv. Kogan, whose granddaughter Irene married Daniel Keveney, is worth a reported £2bn and was ranked 41st richest Russian in 2014.

Mariano Funes spent two months in a coma (left) in 2013 after being hit by a drunken lorry driver who went through a red light near his then-home in Miami. His brother, called Diego like the retired footballer, last night released a bizarre video of him replaying Maradona's 1986 cheat goal (pictured right) on his mobile phone - and Mariano appearing to smile and celebrate by lifting up his right arm as famous Argentinian sports commentator Victor Morales shouted out 'Goal.' Mariano is pictured, inset, in 2016 after recovering from his accident.

While most pooches love a game of fetch and can bring a ball back within seconds, Zelda the dog from Derbyshire just can't quite seem to get the hang of it. A hilarious video has captured the hound's disastrous attempts to run after a tennis ball: she runs in the wrong direction, fails to get the ball into her mouth and generally has really terrible paw-eye coordination.

Shea Gunther was out skating on a lake in Maine when he tossed the toy to see how it would fly in the wind. The disc skittered across the ice for almost a minute and a half before stopping in a reed bed. The captain of local Frisbee team Falmouth Rogue said: 'I noticed how the wind would catch an errant throw.

Haselour Hall (pictured top left), was once described as 'the most charming half-timbered house in the country' and lies just outside the Staffordshire village of Harlaston. It is believed that King Henry VII (inset centre) spent the night at the site before his decisive victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field allowed him to seize the throne. In 1485 the hall was home to Henry's mother Margaret Beaufort, who had married the powerful Lord Thomas Stanley after the death of her third husband. Hours before the battle Henry, then the Earl of Richmond, apparently snuck away from his march from Lichfield to Bosworth and rode to visit her. The manor is now on the market with the potential to become a 'fabulous' wedding venue. It features 12 bedrooms, a reception hall with a large open hearth and pillared oak staircase that leads to a drawing room (top right) and a grand panelled dining room, which comes with an oak fire surround featuring intricate, hand-carved depictions of the Battle of Hastings (bottom right).

The opportunity of a lifetime to live and work for six months on a private island, away from civilisation, has been offered to lucky couples who can prove they are in an 'established relationship'. The illusive role of caretaker of Maatsuyker Island, 10 kilometres off the coast of Tasmania, has now become available. It is only accessible by helicopter. The only sign of human life on the island is a lighthouse built in 1891 (left), a meteorological observation office, ex-light keepers' house and a helipad. Despite this, the job has garnered the attention of hundreds of keen punters, ready to wave goodbye to the daily grind and disappear off the grid for the better part of a year. 'Let's quit our jobs and just watch the sun go down and the moon come up for half a year,' one punter said.

Each animal burrows deep into their partner's fur to remove dirt and root around for ticks. Visitors can be heard laughing at the display of equine solidarity at Taigan Safari Park in Crimea. The animal without visible stripes is likely to be young, as zebras are born with brown coats that later become black and white.

From the otherworldly beauty of Socotra's distinctive shrubs to the eerie, twisted branches of Florida's kapoks - the world's ancient trees have long fascinated holidaymakers. US-based photographer Beth Moon has travelled to Madagascar, Cambodia and beyond to photograph some of the world's oldest specimens. Pictured are the Dragon's blood tree in Yemen (left), Kapok tree in Florida (top right) and the Avenue of Baobabs in Madagascar (bottom right).

British sailor Alex Thomson has been pipped to the post in his bid to become the first non-French winner of the Vendee Globe round-the-world yacht race. Thomson finished runner-up in the eighth edition of the race after an epic battle with Frenchman Armel Le Cleac'h. The Welshman finished in 74 days, 19 hours and 35 minutes - beating the previous race record set by Francois Gabart four years ago. However, after being plagued by equipment issues he could not catch up with Le Cleac'h, who finish in a record-breaking 74 days, three hours and 35 minutes.
