    Dazed and covered in dried blood, a man stares at the camera as he proceeds on foot to a checkpoint leading out of the beseiged city of Mariupol into territory held by the Donetsk People's Republic. Many people are trying to flee the city on foot into territory controlled by the Donetsk People's Republic. More than 200,000 people are trapped in the strategic city described by those who managed to escape as a "freezing hellscape riddled with dead bodies and destroyed buildings," Human Rights Watch said.

    European Brown Bears, Finland - Jul 2016
    *Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/skxn
    These stunning photos of brown bears in the forests of Finland are the result of one photographer's endless hours of patience. During his two week trip wildlife photographer Will Nicholls spent 15 hours a day in a tiny wooden hide as he attempted to catch a glimpse of these elusive creatures. Despite their formidable size, the ancient Taiga forests that the bears call home extend for hundreds of miles meaning it can be extremely hard to spot them. Added to this there are estimated to be just 1,700 European brown bears left in Finland. Will comments: "I spent 15 hours each day, every day for 2 weeks, in a small wooden hide on the Russian Border in Finland. "With the sun never completely setting, I was awake through the night in an effort to spot one of Europe's most elusive mammals: the European brown bear.

    A photographer has captured a series of striking images of Cuba's Wi-Fi 'Revolution'.

    Photographer Valerio Berdini captured a series of images that show Cuban faces illuminated by mobile phone light, as many browse the internet on their mobile phone devices for the first time.

    In June 2015 Cuban citizens gained access to Wi-Fi for the first time when Cuban government-owned telecommunication company, ETECSA, began installing 35 Wi-Fi hotspots in the parks of the main cities.

    Until that date the web in Cuba was an affair limited to the guests of few luxury hotels and some official state offices.

    Jordanian Photographer Robert Bahou has created a photo series that provides a glimpse into the souls of cats and dogs.

    The project, entitled Animal Soul, features portraits of different breeds of cats and dogs.

    Robert said: "I look for hints of truth in the photographs, and I have found that this is surprisingly accessible with animals. The reason for this is that I don't believe animals understand what a camera is. As a result, they don't behave the way we do when faced with a camera.

    "They don't adjust themselves, turn to their good sides, pull a prepared face, or hide anything. What's left is a truly honest moment between them and the camera. I want to, in a very close and personal way, show that animals have unique and beautiful personalities."

    Glad He Wore Brown Trousers.. Welshman's Close Encounter With Inquisitive Male Leopard
    If an expression could ever define fear it would be the one on the face of Welshman Gareth Owen - who came face-to-face with a leopard.

    The 44-year-old data administrator was on a Masai Mara safari in January when he had the close encounter of the big cat kind.

    The leopard had padded over to a jeep being driven by Exodus Travels guide and wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein.

    Wimbledon-based Paul explains: "I whispered 'This is not usual', although my fingers were twitching on the ignition as the dappled assassin crouched right next to the back seats. For five minutes the leopard's head oscillated to and fro just inches from our motionless Welshman.

    "Gareth said nothing, barely in control of his faculties. Lions and cheetahs are known to inspect vehicles playfully but a male leopard - 'Pinker-nose' - never. Eventually after seemingly wanting to get better acquainted with Gareth he strode off, his beat taking to him to the next Kicheche landcruiser to repeat his examination.

    "For a moment my heart was in my mouth, I had not seen this before either, but I also realised that this was something not likely to happen again and I gorged myself on the moment."

    Gareth, who lives near Zurich in Switzerland, says: "So initially I was mesmerised by the leopard, it was staring at me so intensely, it was almost hypnotising. But then I slowly became very nervous. I understand that vehicles are safe because wild animals don't realise the people in them are separate things from the vehicle...
