She claims MacKinnon said the pair 'didn't deserve' to be in first class and added: 'You should be in common class. In fact, you shouldn't be in this country at all. Bloody foreigners. Where were you even born?' In the shocking footage (centre), MacKinnon is seen swearing at the young boy after he was made aware Mrs Shahid had called the police. He says: 'You're so wonderful wasting police time, miss, and your f****** son.' MacKinnon appeared at Carlisle Magistrates Court earlier this week and admitted a racially aggravated public order offence. He was fined £1154, plus £50 compensation, a £150 victim surcharge and £85 in court costs.

US district judge puts temporary block on Trump travel ban

After a federal judge put a nationwide block on U.S. President Donald Trump's week-old immigration ban on Friday, the White House hit back at the 'outrageous' ruling and said it 'intends to file an emergency stay'. The Department of Justice is expected to halt the order at the earliest possible time, but not as soon as Friday night. Customs and Border Protection has already alerted major US airlines that it will begin to reinstate visas, after the ruling was made effective immediately. The temporary restraining order represents a major challenge to Trump's controversial action, and his administration took three hours to grasp how to address the Seattle judge's order. Washington state's attorney general, Bob Ferguson, said: 'This decision shuts down the executive order right now. No one is above the law -- not even the President'.

The first lady has had no public appearances since the inauguration. She has been at the couple's Trump Tower home in New York while their 10-year-old son Barron attends school.

Geert Wilders could be the next nail in the EU's coffin

Geert Wilders (pictured bottom right), the 53-year-old of part-Indonesian heritage with peroxide blond hair, is turning Dutch thinking on its head. He is described by some as a rabid racist and has been convicted for inciting discrimination. Once temporarily banned from Britain as 'persona non grata' by the Labour government, he lives under threat of assassination for his fiercely anti-immigration stance, and only this week tried (unsuccessfully) to plaster 'Stop Islam' adverts over Holland's trams (top and left). He is in such danger from Left-wing activists and Islamic militants that he often wears a bullet-proof vest and is guarded at a safe house round the clock.

ALISON BOSHOFF: Kylie Minogue (inset) has abruptly ended her relationship with the man she was set to marry, after reports that she suspected British actor, Joshua Sasse (pictured together, right), had cheated on her with actress Marta Milans (left). Taking to Instagram yesterday, she posted a picture of a beautiful sunrise with the words: 'Thank you for your love and understanding with the news that Josh and I have decided to go our separate ways. We wish only the best for each other as we venture towards new horizons.' These noble words are testimony to Kylie's great self-control. Not for nothing is this 5ft pop survivor known as a Tinkerbell with a core of titanium. Privately, though, she is said to be 'inconsolable and utterly heartbroken' over the apparent betrayal by the man she adored.

Chelsea Cameron writes letter to drug addict parents

Chelsea Cameron, 18, (left) captured the nation's imagination this week with an open letter to her parents, Tammy and Alexander (pictured together, right), in which she thanked them for her woeful upbringing. To an outsider, Chelsea's life would appear unremittingly grim. But to the daughter of two drug addicts, it was entirely normal. It is nothing short of a miracle, then, that at the age of 18, Chelsea (inset, top). has emerged astonishingly unscathed by her parents's wilful reign of self-destruction. In her 1,300-word letter (inset, bottom) she wrote: 'Mum and Dad, Thanks for everything, I owe you . . . Parents, both of you, thank you for teaching me that taking drugs ruins lives, breaks families apart and gives no one a quality of life worth living . . . Thank you for teaching me to be ambitious.'

Louvre suspect 'posted pro-ISIS messages on Twitter'

Among 12 tweets posted between 9.27am and 9.34am French time, was one stating: 'In the name of Allah... for our brothers in Syria and fighters across the world.'
