Michelle Walder was a bundle of nerves as she walked down the aisle, just like other brides through the ages. 'Absolutely petrified,' as she puts it now. That is, until she locked eyes with husband-to-be Owen Jenkins. 'The minute I did, everything felt ok,' she says. 'He had a very calming presence around him and, in that moment, he was just everything I needed.' It must have been particularly reassuring, too, because until that moment the 26-year-old hadn't so much as clapped eyes on her groom before — and vice versa.  Indeed, the couple knew so little about each other that it was only when they sat down to sign the marriage register after exchanging vows that Michelle and Owen found out how old each other was, what they did for a living and where they were from (a primary school teacher from Hastings and a 32-year-old IT account manager from Sheffield, respectively). But then that's what they had signed up for, after deciding to take part in the latest

Former White House communications director Omarosa Manigault Newman says President Donald Trump is going through a 'psychotic episode' after losing the presidential election. 'I think Donald Trump is going through a psychotic episode. I think that he has come to terms with his loss, but his arrogance, his ego will not allow him to accept that he is not going to be president come January,' she said to MSNBC’s Alex Witt Saturday. Manigault Newman, who was a contestant on Trump's reality show The Apprentice, spent a year in the White House and was fired in December 2017, leading her to write a tell-all book call Unhinged. In the Saturday interview Manigault Newman spoke on an Axios report that claimed Trump is venting his outrage on those close to his office including Vice President Mike Pence and Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. 'I really feel bad for those who are left because the reality is that Donald is going to turn to turn to anyone and blame everyone for his lo

President Trump is jeopardizing the Republican Party’s chances of keeping both Senate seats from Georgia by trying to overturn the election results, a top GOP-aligned pollster claims. Frank Luntz said that it is possible incumbent Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue could lose their January 5 runoff elections because Trump’s calling into question the integrity of the vote could depress GOP turnout. Loeffler and Perdue are running against Democratic challengers Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, respectively. The two races are critical to the Republicans keeping their Senate majority. If they both lose, Democrats would have 50 Senate seats with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris serving as a tie-breaking vote. Georgia's two runoff races kicked off in November after Perdue and Loeffler failed to get more than 50 percent of the vote on Election Day. Early voting has already started for the January 5 election.  President Trump is jeopardizing the Republican Party’s chances of k

A veteran soldier who served in Afghanistan has said he felt safer fighting in a war zone than working as a security guard in an Australian hospital. Former frontline soldier Dean Douglass took up a job at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in 2016 but said he was repeatedly attacked by violent patients. As well as regularly being punched and kicked at work, he was forced to disarm a mentally unwell patient last year who threatened to blow up the hospital with a fake bomb. Mr Douglass - who has since resigned over the mental toll of his job with Queensland's health authority - compared Australian hospitals to the 'Wild West'. Veteran Defence soldier Dean Douglass has claimed he felt safer fighting in a war zone than working as a security guard in an Australian hospital The ex-soldier said someone could die unless action was taken to make hospitals safer. 'I have never felt more unsafe in my life than I did working while I was with Queensland Health,' he said.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie responded on Sunday to Donald Trump’s pardoning of Charles Kushner, the wealthy real estate developer that he helped send to jail a decade and a half ago. Christie, a longtime friend and ally of Trump whose known for his brash persona, offered few words on the motion during an appearance on ABC’s This Week, affirming only that he believed it further highlighted his 'extraordinary' work as a US attorney. Trump announced Charles Kushner - the father of Trump's son-in-law, Jared - would have his sentence commuted on December 22. He was sentenced to two years in prison in 2005 for tax fraud and witness retaliation. ‘What it doesn’t overshadow is the extraordinary work that my office did 16 years ago,’ Christie said in response Sunday. ‘Let’s remember, the case was not tried. Mr. Kushner pled guilty. So we’ll stand on the record of our prosecution at that time and of the conduct that was engaged in the case,’ Christie added. Scroll down for
