    Former President Donald Trump walks out of the courtroom to make comments to members of the media after being found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree at Manhattan Criminal Court, Thursday, May 30, 2024, in New York. Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes as a New York jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to a porn actor who said the two had sex.

    With just days to go until the start of the Sochi winter Olympics, these pictures suggest the city is not ready for the showcase event.

    However Alexander suggests that an area he believes will be used by President Vladimir Putin has been prioritised: "It is natural for Putin to make the place where he will ape in front of video cameras and, of course, it is closed to mere mortals," he says.

    Just Days To Go: Pictures Show Russian Olympic City Not Ready
    With just days to go until the start of the Sochi winter Olympics, these pictures suggest the city is not ready for the showcase event.

    The shocking pictures by local journalist Alexander Valov depict the area around the Sochi Olympic Park in an unfinished state.

    Documenting the progress of construction and infrastructure works while walking around the immediate area of the Olympic Park on 23 January, Mr Valov found numerous cases where he claims works had not been finished.

    From his observations, he suggests that volunteer accommodation was still without electricity and sewage systems, pathways laid directly onto soil have already failed and have had to be hastily patched up, grass landscaping has been been laid incorrectly and dried up, litter and construction debris blight the area and open manholes on pathways are covered in flimsy wooden covers.

    Gordon Brown describes Gillian Duffy as "a bigoted woman" during walkabout in Rochdale, Lancashire, Britain - 28 Apr 2010
    Gordon Brown has found himself at the centre of a media storm after describing a Labour supporter as a "bigoted woman". Gillian Duffy, a 66-year-old widow, spoke to Brown for around five minutes during his visit to a residential street in Rochdale, telling him she was concerned about immigration from Eastern Europe. After the conversation apparently ended amicably Brown jumped into his waiting car and sped off. Unaware his microphone was still switched on, he was then heard berating an aide, saying: "That was a disaster. Should never have put me with that woman. Whose idea was that?" When the aide asks what Mrs Duffy said, Brown replied: "Everything. She's just a sort of bigoted woman who says she used to be Labour." Not having heard his thoughts about her, ironically Mrs Duffy said their conversation had been "very good" and said that Brown "seems a nice man." Asked on a later BBC Radio 2 interview about the remarks, a squirming Brown apologised.
