Brothers who grew up to be stunning sisters: Siblings now living as women after helping each other come to terms with their gender

They had always loved dressing up in skirts and playing with dolls.

But for years the O’Herlihy brothers did not tell anyone – including each other – just how much they were struggling with their gender.

Finally, though, they opened up to each other and discovered they were going through the same battle – and both are now living as women.

Jamie, 23, who kept her birth name, and Chloe, 20, who used to be called Daniel, said it was amazing to be able to help each other.

Daniel (left) and Jamie (pictured when they were living as men) said it was a 'huge relief' to find out that they were 'in it together', but they don't believe  

Amazing images from the lawless Hong Kong slum which was once home to 30,000 and one of the most densely populated place on earth

Life inside Kowloon Walled City, the most densely populated place on earth, was far from easy before the chaotic cluster of interconnected high-rise buildings was demolished 20 years ago.

Around 33,000 people lived in the overcrowded Hong Kong slum, which was blighted by poverty, organised crime, including drug dealing, gambling and prostitution, poor sanitation and inadequate services. 

Populated by families, business owners, drug addicts and gang members, the settlement was essentially lawless due to a territorial dispute between China and British Hong Kong, but both sides agreed in the 1980s to demolish it and replace it with a park.

The former Chinese military site became a sprawling urban settlement after Japanese forces retreated during World War II and squatters moved in. 

Over the following decades it fell under the grip of the Triads, who were eventually forced out in the 1970s, and was notorious for brothels, casinos and opium dens as it lagged behind the rest of Hong Kong, although crime rates dropped in its later years.

Before Kowloon Walled City was finally demolished in 1994, photographers Greg Girard and Ian Lambot spent five years capturing jaw-dropping images of daily life within the six-acre site - from children playing on rooftops to heroin addicts shooting up on the street.

BBC reporter details being detained in North Korea

A BBC reporter detained last week in North Korea released his account of the ordeal Friday, describing how he was held for 10 hours before being expelled from the country.

Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, the BBC’s Tokyo correspondent, was in Pyongyang to cover a weeklong visit by three Nobel laureates to the country’s capital. The trip, designed to show North Korea’s desire for increased international exchanges, was marred as the country detained Wingfield-Hayes for writing stories the government deemed to be “offensive” to its people.

“I was told that my reporting had insulted the Korean people and that I needed to admit my mistakes,” Wingfield-Hayes said in a story published by the BBC Friday morning.

The offending bits apparently included references to a “grim-faced” customs official who “barked” at the reporters, which a North Korean official said portrayed his people as dogs.

After intervention from his editors and a written apology, Wingfield-Hayes was eventually released. But his problems didn’t end there, as the North Korean government blocked his exit from the country for two more days before finally expelling him.

CALVIN HARRIS IN VIOLENT CAR CRASH Bolts from Hospital

Calvin Harris was involved in a terrible car crash Friday night, suffering injuries serious enough to require an ambulance ... but staying in the hospital just wasn't for him.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... Calvin was a passenger in a Cadillac SUV at around 11 PM when a VW Bug convertible driven by a 16-year-old girl crossed the center line, crashing into his vehicle.

The VW bug was filled with teenagers and the accident so violent ... one of the passengers who was sitting on her boyfriend's lap was ejected. 

Calvin suffered a laceration on his face that was bad enough to require immediate attention.  Paramedics took him to an L.A. hospital.  We're told he wanted a private room, and when they said one wasn't available he hopped off the gurney and left ..."against medical advice."

The driver and her passenger who was ejected were also taken to the hospital.  We know the girl who was ejected suffered a broken pelvis.

Google's plan to revolutionize smartphones will start shipping next year

Google wants to revolutionize how you use and buy smartphones by creating a device where you can swap out different parts of its hardware on the go, like the battery, camera, speakers, or screen.

A base frame contains the phone's core components, but each additional part will be bought separately so your phone specializes in whatever you want it to, whether that means having great speakers or a fish-eye camera lens.

Also, Ara's concept means that you won't have to head to the repair shop or get a completely new device if your battery stops holding a charge or the screen shatters.

The Egyptian military has shared some of the first photos of the wreckage from EgyptAir flight 804. The images, which show a life jacket, part of a chair, and what appears to be a ruined section of fuselage, come after French investigators confirmed on Saturday that smoke was detected in multiple places onboard the aircraft moments before it plummeted into the Mediterranean. 

Despite this development, the cause of the crash that killed all 66 on board remains unclear.

Agency spokesman Sebastien Barthe told The Associated Press in Paris that the plane's automatic-detection system sent messages indicating smoke a few minutes before the plane disappeared from radar while flying over the east Mediterranean early on Thursday morning.

Is YOUR marriage in trouble? Contempt, addiction and no sex are some of the signs your relationship is headed for divorce

For some people divorce comes out of nowhere. For others it builds up over a long period of time. 

So how do you know when issues with your spouse might lead to separation?

Clinical psychologist Dr Melissa Keogh has written an article for Kidspot indicating the seven signs your marriage is on the rocks and might be headed for divorce.

Whilst there are some that might seem obvious, other indicators are more subtle and worth paying attention to.

On the rocks: Clinical psychologist Dr Melissa Keogh has shared the seven signs that a marriage is heading for divorce

No nookie: A lack of sex is a big sign that a marriage isn't going well, and Dr Keogh suggests going to a sex therapist if you and your partner are having problems

ARE YOU HEADED FOR DIVORCE?

• You're not having sex 
• Abuse from a partner
• Untreated personality disorder in a partner
• Serial infidelity
• Addiction issues
• Feelings of contempt
• Not being able to recall fond memories of the relationship 

One of the biggest warning signs - no nookie. A lack of sex in a relationship can be a sign of major problems according to Dr Keogh.

And whilst some people have fulfilling relationships with no sex, it's worth seeing a relationship counselor or sex therapist if you're having this issue.

Another warning sign is abuse, either physical, emotional or verbal, and controlling behaviors. If a partner is abusive, and won't change their behavior, then this can lead to the end of the relationship. 

Something which can be linked to abusive behavior, is an untreated personality disorder which is another warning sign of a toxic relationship.
