Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hailed as a hero Pakistani security guard Faraz Tahir, killed in Sydney while trying to stop a mass stabbing attack, in remarks delivered on Friday at a funeral attended by hundreds. Tahir, who would have turned 31 on Wednesday, was on the first day of his job when he became one of six killed this month during the stabbing spree at a busy mall in beachside Bondi. "Running toward danger, to protect people he had never even met, without doubt, he helped save lives that day," Albanese said.
SWLNwell - By Adam Dutton A couple were stunned to find a secret 200-year-old well underneath their hallway when they began renovating their cottage. Victoria Ellington, 36, and her husband Andrew, 40, were amazed when they discovered the 27ft hole by the front door. Once explored, they found that the well, which is thought to be centuries-old, still contained crystal-clear water. The couple, from Redcar, North Yorks., couldn’t bear to cover up the feature so they decided to find a way to incorporate it into building. After months of hard work, Victoria and Andrew managed to install a pump to create their very own wishing well, covered by protective glass. The couple now rent the beach-front property, called Bute Cottage, to holidaymakers who can enjoy the quirky water feature. Mum-of-two Victoria said: “We bought the cottage during the 2020 Covid lockdown and Andrew, who is a builder, started renovating it. “We were planning to add an extension and build a family home but the foundations started slipping and we knew something was up. “One day Andrew found this deep hole and realised it was quite a deep well right on top of the property by the front door. “He was digging at the foundations and all the soil was falling into this hole. “He just sent me a photo and said: 'Oh my god, have you seen this?' “We knew then that we couldn’t build an extension so Andrew just decided to make it part of the building and we could rent the cottage out.” Instead of paving over the well the couple covered it with a glass walkway and lined the walls of the shaft with lights. Victoria, mum to Oscar five, and Henry, nine, said: “Our sons were excited about having a wishing well so we thought we should make that a reality. "We've put lights down the walls of the well and the glass is toughened. “We can pump water into the well and we’ve got a little slot for people to make wishes. “You can see right down to the bottom. Andrew tried to measure a few times and I think it is around 27ft deep." The couple completed the renovation earlier this month and now rent the two-bedroom cottage out for £629-a-week. Victoria added: "The well makes it a bit different. “When I saw it I was totally blown away and every time I see it I just totally love it." ENDS

Amy Winehouse fans are flocking to visit the star's favourite haunts following the release of a new biopic - despite mixed reviews. The late singer is heavily associated with the London borough of Camden, which also served as a backdrop to many scenes in the recently released 'Back to Black'. The film has come in for criticism, with some claiming it goes too easy on Winehouse's dad Mitch and her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil. Fans revealed on Wednesday they had travelled from all over to visit Camden - with one couple having journeyed more than 700 miles from Barcelona. Scarlet Elias, 43, came from the Spanish city with her partner Albert to see a statue of the singer - but says she refuses to watch the film.
The New York Court of Appeals has ruled that the judge who presided over Weinstein's trial prejudiced him by allowing three women to testify about their alleged encounters with the producer when their accusations did not form the basis of the case. At the time, those women were called as witnesses because state law allowed testimony about "prior bad acts" to prove a pattern of behaviour. "Under our system of justice, the accused has a right to be held to account only for the crime charged.", Judge Jenny Rivera, Associated Press.
