Seemingly innocent photo shows boy, two, playing on the beach in Australia as his dad snorkels in the water behind him just seconds before the father died and was then eaten by a SHARK

A picture of a toddler playing by the water's edge as his father snorkels behind was hauntingly snapped moments before he died before being eaten by a great white.   Taylia Craw had no idea that this would be the last happy photo of her two-year-old son Levi together with his father, Duncan, 32, of Warrnambool in western Victoria. The young family had been camping at Port MacDonnell on South Australia's Limestone Coast last month when Mr Craw disappeared in the water about 5pm as his wife and son enjoyed the beach, unaware something was wrong. Haunting picture captures last seconds of Duncan Craw's life as he snorkles in the distance while his toddler son Levi plays on the sand at Port MacDonnell, SA. Moments later he died of natural causes and a great white shark then ate his body  As Levi plays with his yellow spade on the sand in the foreground, Duncan Craw can be seen in distance, to the top left of the little boy.

Eviction teams try to FORCE out the Euston Five: Activists in tunnel protest say bailiffs are digging separate shaft in bid to remove them after six days underground as police move in and arrest eco warriors at makeshift camp

Protesters say eviction teams are trying to force them out of an underground environmentalist demonstration.   Members of HS2 Rebellion constructed tunnels under Euston Square Gardens in central London, claiming the small green space near the station will be built over with a temporary taxi rank before being sold to developers. The group now says eviction teams are digging above their heads, and protesters were kept awake all night to 'coax us out of the hole', the BBC reports.   Demonstrators have not said how many are underground, but they are confident they can keep the protest going for a few more days.  It is believed that five people, including veteran eco-warrior Dan 'Swampy' Hooper, are still below ground.  The HS2 Rebellion camp at Euston Square in London, 31 January. Protesters say eviction teams are trying to force them out of an underground environmentalist demonstration An HS2 Rebellion protester raises his fist after he is removed from a tree at the encamp

Insane footage shows a massive shark aggressively thrashing in the water while chasing a seal in a Melbourne bay popular with swimmers

Astonishing footage has emerged of a shark hunting down a seal near a popular swimming spot off Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. A group of mates enjoying a day on a boat filmed the encounter with a bronze whaler that was violently thrashing around just metres away from them off Portsea on the weekend. 'Oh my God! Dad, stop, stop!' a man is heard exclaiming in the footage. 'It's chasing a seal! Oh my God! Holy moly, this is crazy!' A group of men enjoying a day on Port Phillip Bay filmed their encounter with  a shark as it aggressively chased its prey The men get a better look at just how big the predator is as the shark swims closer to the boat while chasing its prey. 'What is this! Oh my God, that's massive!' the man excitedly says. 'It's right there!' Another mate suggested the shark may be chasing fish rather than a seal. 'Well, whatever it is, it's chasing it,' the first man replies.  Another video shows the men's h

Scott Morrison issues chilling warning about Covid-19 pandemic as he admits vaccine rollout may be DELAYED due to EU export ban - as two million are forced into five-day lockdown in Perth

Australia's rollout of the coronavirus vaccine may be delayed - but the government still expects to offer everyone the jab by October, Scott Morrison will say on Monday. The government aims to start administering doses of the Pfizer jab - the only vaccine approved in Australia so far - by the end of February. But the date may be set back because the vaccines are made in Belgium and the European Union on Friday tightened export controls amid a serious shortage.     In a speech at the National Press Club in Canberra on Monday, Mr Morrison will admit the start date of Australia's vaccination program is up in the air.    'Our guidance is that first vaccinations remain on track to be in Australia, ready for distribution to priority groups, from late February. 'However, the final commencement date will depend on developments overseas, which we will continue to monitor and update accordingly,' he will say.  Mr Morrison will also warn the pandemic is still 'raging'

Epidemiologist warns US needs to change vaccine plan NOW and get as many people injected with one dose instead of holding back shots for second doses 'to reduce serious deaths that are going to occur in weeks ahead'

A top epidemiologist who advised President Joe Biden's transition team on the coronavirus pandemic is calling for the US to alter its vaccination plan in the face of a potential 'hurricane' surge in coronavirus infections in the coming weeks.  Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, appeared on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday to outline the changes he said need to be made with the vaccine rollout.   He said the US should prioritize giving as many people as possible their first of two doses of the vaccine, instead of holding back a certain amount of shots for second doses.  Both vaccines currently in circulation - one from Pfizer and the other from Moderna - require two doses spaced out over a few weeks to achieve their full efficacy against the virus.  'We still want to get two doses in everyone, but I think right now, in advance of this surge, we need to get as many one-doses in as many peo
