Donald Trump says nobody thought he was suggesting people should shoot Hillary Clinton

Donald Trump attempted to clarify a controversial statementthat he made in reference to Hillary Clinton at a campaign rally in North Carolina on Tuesday.

Trump's remarks seemed to suggest that proponents of the Second Amendment could take violent action to prevent his Democratic rival from selecting new justices to sit on the US Supreme Court.

In making the suggestion, Trump alluded to his claim that Clinton would appoint judges who back policies meant to "take [Americans'] guns away."

"Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second Amendment," Trump said. "By the way, and if she gets to pick — if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know."

Six things you missed overnight 

1. Michael Phelps wins his 20th and 21st Olympic gold medals

The American - already by a distance the most decorated Olympian of all time - stormed to 200m butterfly victory and held off the challenge of South African Chad le Clos, who could only finish fourth.

Chinese tourist loses wallet and becomes refugee in Germany for two weeks by mistake

AChinese tourist who lost his wallet unwittingly became a refugee in Germany for two weeks.

The 31-year-old backpacker, who spoke neither German nor English, reported that he "needed help" after arriving at Stuttgart airport on July 4.

Jamaican swimmer Alia Atkinson becomes first black woman to win world title

Alia Atkinson of Jamaica

Alia Atkinson became the first black woman to win a world swimming title when she triumphed in the 100m breaststroke at the world short-course championships in Doha on Saturday as more records tumbled.

Jamaican Atkinson, 25, claimed the title and equalled Ruta Meilutyte's world record of 1min 02.36sec in the process - although under governing body FINA rules this still equates to a new record.

Meilutyte appeared on course for a successful defence of her title only for her rival to move on to the Lithuanian's shoulder at the final turn.

Atkinson then clawed her way down the final length before out-touching the 17-year-old by 0.10sec.

She was completely unaware of what she had done, staring up at the scoreboard with an air of resignation before it gradually dawned

'I'm going to have a baby with my sister and we couldn't be more excited about it'

The idea that families come in all shapes and sizes has never been more true with adoption, same-sex relationships and the introduction of new ways to conceive.

Writer Samuel Leighton-Dore, 25, spoke to Mirror Online about his decision for his sister to have his child - and has opened up about the negative response it has received.

Samuel, from Sydney, is in a relationship with photographer and designer Bradley Tennant but doesn't want to miss out on their baby having both of their family's genes.

As a compromise, his sister Bronte has agreed to donate her eggs so that the couple can have the family they've always wanted.

Samuel told Mirror Online: "It's not too strange when you break it down. We'll be using IVF. It'll be my sister's egg and my partner's sperm with a third-party surrogate, preferably someone who already has a family of their own.

Investigators said new evidence had come to light indicating that she had fallen from the roof of her apartment building, crashing 40 feet to the ground, while drunk and high on drugs.

Why Michael Phelps and other Olympians have big red circles all over their skin

Michael Phelps will swim his first event of the Rio Olympics on Sunday night, and he'll do it with noticeable red circle marks splayed all across his back.

If you've watched any of the Olympics so far, you've most likely seen similar spots on other athletes, including some American male gymnasts. The marks are the result of cupping therapy, a healing technique that is particularly en vogue among Olympians.

Women's beach volleyball usually attracts criticism because the athletes' kit is too skimpy.

However, 19-year-old Egyptian player Doaa Elghobashy is turning perceptions of the sport on their head.

Whereas her rivals hit the sand on Copacabana beach in bikinis that would make a Page Three model think twice, Doaa competes in a headscarf, leggins and full-length sleeves. Her feet are bare.

'You should cut their d***s off': German reality TV model screams as she appears in court for 'falsely accusing two men of rape' even though video showed her saying 'no, stop it' during sex

A German reality TV model has appeared in court today over claims she falsely accused two men of rape - even though a video showed her saying 'no, stop it' during the sex. 

Gina-Lisa Lohfink, 29, is accused by the men - identified as Pardis Fardjad-Azad and Sebastian Pinto - of inventing rape allegations against them after they had a threesome.

When she appeared in court - and heard that the judge was going to play parts of a sex tape in public - she burst into tears and the process had to be interrupted for nearly 15 minutes. 

'It is really bad what is being done to me here,' she sobbed. 

The public prosecutor in Berlin believes her rape testimony was false in a case dating back to June 2012. 

As the judge looked at the sex video on a laptop, he turned to her and with the sound down Gina-Lisa shouted out: 'Sex with two men - I say I don't want that! Horny - OK, we'll watch more movies. It was bad what was done to me, sex with two men. You should cut their d***s off.'

When Pinto took the stand to testify, she left the court, saying she could not bear to see him.

He said he got to know her at a celebrity event. Then 'from 11pm on we were in my club Maxxim. In the meantime Pardis came in. She took him to her table.

'When I had finished work around 5am I got the message that they are waiting for me. Our night started around 6am or 7am. We had a fun threesome. Everything was filmed on my mobile phone.

The most chilling details from the recently found diary of the head of the Nazi SS

Thought to have been missing for 71 years, around 1,000 pages ofHeinrich Himmler's office diary have been recently discovered in a Russian military archive.

The entries, which are beingpublished by a German newspaper and in turn translated by the British press, contain personal insights into the life of the head of the SS in Nazi Germany.

In the excerpts, Himmler can be found to have started his days with two-hour massages with a doctor, followed by his murderous duties that shocked the world.

"The most interesting thing for me is this combination of doting father and cold-blooded killer," said Damian Imoehl, a journalist who assisted in finding the diary pages.

"One day he starts with breakfast and a massage from his personal doctor, then he rings up his wife and daughter ... and after that he decides to have 10 men killed," Imoehl told The Times of London.

Intricate details into the daily horrors of the Holocaust remain scant or casual, either intentionally or because of the fact that he may have had a void in his emotions.
