Indian locals were left horrified by an attack in which a stray Leopard pounced on six villagers in Prakash Nagar, West Bengal. After a lengthy pursuit through the village the leopard was killed by two shots at close-range after attempts to tranquillise the startled animal failed. Sources suggest one forest guard was critically injured while the others were hurt less seriously.

If a British single ticketholder wins the EuroMillions jackpot on Tuesday they will walk away with the biggest amount to date.

After Friday’s rollover draw, the jackpot is now at an estimated £154 million.

A National Lottery spokesman said: “This is the UK’s biggest ever jackpot and could make Europe’s biggest ever winner – it is stunning.

“A EuroMillions win of £154 million could launch you into the exclusive world of the rich and famous – private jets, super yachts and dream cars.”

The potential winner would have the equivalent amount of money as those placed 454th on the Sunday Times Rich List – Beatles drummer Ringo Starr (£150m), Jimmy Choo co-founder Tamara Mellon (£150m) and divorcee Irina Abramovich (£155m).

Currently, the biggest British lottery winner scooped £113 million last October.

MondayAnother dry and mainly fine day, with any early mist soon clearing. Bright or sunny spells throughout the day, although with rather more cloud developing in places later.

Cheryl’s ex-husband Ashley hides behind the back seat as he is whisked away from her birthday party

Kate Moss and Jamie Hince had a beautiful fairytale wedding, and one celebrity guest even called the event “magical!” Former Dancing with the Stars contestant Kelly Osbourne was just in awe during the wedding, and she shared her thoughts on Twitter.

“This is the most beautiful, loving, amazing wedding I have ever been to. It’s magical when you see people really in love,” she said. It was a fairly large wedding – Moss had twelve bridesmaids – and it sounds like it was lovely. Naturally the pictures of the happy couple said a lot, with both the bride and the groom glowing.

Moss’ wedding dress has been talked about for days, as she looked stunning in a cream vintage gown by John Galliano (report). The groom went for a far less traditional but still classy blue-gray Yves Saint Lauren suit. The combination of their outfits made for some gorgeous pictures and according to Kelly Osbourne, the wedding was really magical!

David Haye blamed a toe injury suffered in training for the points decision defeat by Wladimir Klitschko in their heavyweight unification clash.

He insisted those tactics were enforced by injury, however: “I might not have been at my best but I gave it as much as I could,” he said.

“I couldn’t push on my right leg. I broke my toe on my right foot.”

He added: “I couldn’t push off the right foot to throw the right hand.

“I thought adrenaline would get me through it but it was tough. It’s incredibly frustrating. We were thinking about pulling out three weeks ago but we couldn’t with all these great fans here.

“My plan was to win this fight but for whatever reason it wasn’t meant to be today. It’s frustrating because I’m so powerful, but I couldn’t land many punches.

“I was trying to egg Wladimir on to come closer so I could land some punches, but he fought the smart fight.

“I’ve got a lot of respect for Wladimir and he’s a great fighter. Everything that was said in the lead up was for him to come and get me so I could land my shots.”

Boxing promoter Frank Warren told BBC Radio 5 live’s Sportsweek programme that Haye was a “cry baby” for blaming his defeat on his injury.

“He shouldn’t be in the fight if he had a broken toe. Why be a cry baby after the event? It’s ridiculous,” said Warren.

“When your title’s on the line you’ve got to give your all and he just didn’t do that.

“To talk about toes and whatever afterwards is just cry-baby stuff and I thought it was quite embarrassing. You’d think he’d be a bit more gracious in defeat.”

Former WBF heavyweight champion Frank Bruno agreed that Haye should not have taken part in the contest.

“If he had a broken toe I would advise him to pull out because a broken toe is your balance and it works everything,” said the 49-year-old Briton.

“You can’t punch straight, you can’t balance yourself, you can’t even move. A broken toe’s a serious thing.

“If you’ve got a broken toe your balance and everything goes, but he must know his business. If he fought with a broken toe he must be a very brave man.”

Klitschko, 35, was as unimpressed with Haye’s performance as he was with his pre-fight antics.

“I’ve been criticised by David Haye after the [Sultan] Ibragimov fight and it was the same with him after three rounds, he gave up on offence,” said the champion.

“Instead he was fighting like all of my opponents. I would have loved to make him my 50th knockout.

“I wish I could prove I was the better man with a knockout out of David Haye. His behaviour before the fight was disgraceful to the sport of boxing.”

Abandoned gorilla moved in with zoo’s owners

PARIS: Two French zookeepers are sharing their home with an 80 kilogram female gorilla after she was abandoned by her mother as a baby.

Pierre and Elaine Thivillon started treating the giant ape, Digit, as one of their own soon after her birth in 1998.

The primate’s mother was unable to breastfeed Digit, prompting the owners of the Saint Martin la Plaine Zoo to step in and raise the ape themselves. Then, after falling ill and receiving two life-saving operations Digit became increasingly dependent on the care of the Thivillons.

Digit is quite at home with her adoptive parents and could live for up to 50 years.
