HILLARY SOARS TO GIGANTIC LEAD

Hillary Clinton took a commanding lead over Donald Trump in a new national poll on Tuesday.

A new Bloomberg Politics poll, conducted by notable pollster Ann Selzer, showed Clinton with a 12-point lead over her Republican rival, garnering 49% support to Trump's 37% support.

The poll surveyed 1,000 voters over three days beginning on June 10, and contained a margin of error of 3.6%.

Though Clinton's lead comes just weeks after polls showed that the two presumptive nominees are running virtually tied in hypothetical general-election matchups, it didn't come as a complete shock to some observers.

After contentious primaries, candidates typically receive a bump in their support in polls after securing their party's nomination. Trump experienced a boost in his support among Republicans after his Republican rivals dropped out following the Indiana primary.

My night with the Russian ultras: "We respect the English tradition of hooliganism, but we no longer fear them"

Russia

I met him at a bar in the southeast of Moscow.

Vadim was a founder of Flint's Crew, one of Moscow's most infamous football hooligan firms — or ultras as they now prefer to be called — and I had expected him to be shaven-headed and semi-articulate.

My expectations, though, were confounded. Long-haired and about 40 years old, he wasn't a caricature of those who attacked England supporters inside the Stade Vélodrome in Marseilles on Saturday.

Yet he was as passionate and informed about football hooliganism as some people are about wine or art.

"Strange as it may seem, the first football hooligans in Russia were hippies," Vadim told me over the first of several beers.

"It was in the early 1970s, and anything that guys could get their hands on from the West became immediately fashionable.

Witnesses said a group of Russians (top right) provoked English fans who were in a bar near Lille's central train station this afternoon before chairs were launched through the air.

Here are the movie sequels that have bombed at the box office in 2016

Jesse Eisenberg in "Now You See Me 2"Lionsgate

"Now You See Me 2" couldn't muster up the surprise success of its predecessor.

The sequel to the 2013 heist film earned $23 million in its opening weekend, while its original managed a better $29.3 million. That's not a huge difference, but it will be a disappointment to the studio executives who hoped to cash in on love for the first title.

"The Conjuring 2" actually came in first place at the box office this weekend, earning $40.3 million — only 3.6% less than its original.

But most sequels, at least so far this year, have been bombing.

There has long been talk of Hollywood having a "sequel problem" — "sequelitis" as Variety calls it.

There are many to choose from at the theater nowadays. Do you want to watch the latest installment in an ongoing superhero franchise? (Take your pick between "Captain America: Civil War," "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice," or "X-Men: Apocalypse.") Or a live-action remake of an old cartoon? (It's a lose-lose with "Alice Through the Looking Glass" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.")

Studios are trying to build the next big Harry Potter or Marvel franchise, but not every film can be "Captain America," which has seen a steady increase in its domestic gross since the first time Chris Evans' Cap graced our screens in 2011.

The FBI director just painted a bizarre picture of the man behind the worst mass shooting in US history

Director of the FBI, James Comey Thomson Reuters

The director of the FBI, James Comey, said Monday that the man who carried out the worst shooting in US history at a gay nightclub in Orlando mentioned links to Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and the Islamic State - all within a three-year span.

"We first became aware of him in 2013, while he was working as a security guard at a local courthouse," Comey told reporters Monday. "He made inflammatory and contradictory statements about terrorism that raised concern with his coworkers, and claimed family connections to Al Qaeda."

He continued: "He then said he was a member of Hezbollah, which is a Shiite terrorist organization that is ideologically opposed to Al Qaeda, a Sunni terrorist organization."

Law-enforcement officials have identified the shooter as 29-year-old Omar Mateen. Comey said he was declining to use his name. Comey said the FBI's Miami office opened up a preliminary investigation into the shooter in 2013 that lasted 10 months.

Single mum murdered in her bed for an iPhone as her eight-year-old daughter slept next door

Melissa had just moved into a new home with her daughter Hannah

The luxury apartment in a leafy area of Raleigh, North Carolina, was supposed to be a fresh start for Melissa Huggins-Jones and her young daughter Hannah. Melissa, 30, was newly divorced and adjusting to life as a single mum.

She’d chosen the flat as a sanctuary to start again and was comforted knowing it was in a good part of town. But after just two weeks of living there, eight-year-old Hannah ran out onto the street barefoot and crying out, "My mum’s hurt." A concerned construction worker came to her aid, but when he walked into the flat, he was confronted with a truly savage scene.

Little Hannah had woken up to discover her mum had been stabbed and beaten to death in her bed. Just how had Melissa’s new beginning triggered her brutal end?

Covered in blood

Church-going Melissa had moved from Tennessee with Hannah in 2013 after her recent divorce.
