    A small jet has crashed into a storage hangar at Santa Monica Municipal Airport in southern California.

    Emergency workers have not yet determined how many people were inside the twin-engine Cessna Citation, that can hold eight passengers and two crew members.

    Captain John Nevandro from the Santa Monica Fire Department, said the metal hanger had "wrapped itself around the plane."

    In an entry earlier this month, Muslim Rebels Attack Philippine Towns, I described a siege that left 200 people held hostage in Zamboanga City, Philippines. Now, three weeks of urban warfare have come to an end in Zamboanga. Most of the hundreds of Muslim Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) rebels who stormed into the town have now been killed or captured by Philippine forces, and the military is handing control of the area back to local police. The AFP reports that 183 rebels were killed, 292 others were detained, 23 soldiers and police were killed, and 12 civilians also lost their lives. Weeks of street battles and numerous fires destroyed more than 10,000 homes and caused more than 100,000 residents to flee, creating a humanitarian crisis that will take months to abate



    A Philippine national flag put up by government soldiers flutters on a building riddled with bullet holes from clashes with Muslim rebels of Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) in Zamboanga city, southern Philippines, on September 28, 2013. Philippine forces said on Friday they had rescued the last civilians held by Muslim rebels on a southern island after nearly three weeks of fighting that has raised doubts about government efforts to end decades-old insurgencies. About 200 people, mostly rebels, were killed and more than 100,000 residents of the port city on the main southern island of Mindanao were displaced

    The Philippine national flag flies at half-staff as soldiers watch a news conference below of top Government officials at the site of a three-week intense fight between government forces and Muslim rebels in Zamboanga City, on September 28, 2013. The deadly standoff between government troops and Muslim rebels has ended, officials said Saturday. More than 200 people were killed in the clashes, including 183 rebels and 23 soldiers and police, in one of the bloodiest and longest-running attacks by a Muslim group in the south, scene of decades-long Muslim rebellion for self-rule in the largely Roman Catholic country

    The George Clooney waxwork at Madame Tussauds is seated on a purple leather sofa with an empty seat beside him, and guests to the attraction love nothing better than sitting next to him and getting up close with their idol. Since the figure took up residence in February, so many visitors have taken the opportunity to perch next to George that a massive indent has been worn into the custom-made seat. The leather has been worn away so much so that Madame Tussauds has had to order a new sofa.



    A skydiver freefalling towards Earth managed to photograph a rocket blasting its way towards space. The Delta II rocket, carrying a satellite into space from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Lompoc in California, USA, was snapped by Staff Sgt. Eric Thompson while he was plummeting towards Earth. He perfectly captured the silhouette of a falling instructor and pupil with the rocket blasting off into space behind them in the distance. Staff Sgt. Thompson was the instructor with the 532nd Training Squadron based out of Vandenberg

    From his detached bungalow in suburban Kent, Chris Weller is better known as the British Steve Irwin after spending more than 20 years living with man-eating beasts. He has spent more than £25,000 making his home crocodile-friendly for his seven-year-old BFF Caesar. Ex-prison officer Chris, 66, enjoys his retirement with his favourite five-and-a-half foot companion - Chris plays snap with him, reads Caesar stories and together they watch TV and listen to their favourite radio station Classic FM. Chris bought Caesar six years ago when he was less than a foot long and converted the downstairs of his home into a habitat for the crocodile to roam in - including building a pool into his conservatory
