The pair, who have not been named, were found at an address in Swinburne Road, Ipswich, on Wednesday and treated by paramedics but died at the scene, Suffolk Police said.

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested.

A police officer stood outside the semi-detached house on Thursday morning, with floral tributes laid beside the garden gate.

The force was called by East of England Ambulance Service at 5pm on Wednesday after a woman’s body was found at a property in Swinburne Road.

A young child also discovered at the address was treated by paramedics but died at the scene, police said.

Officers said the victims’ next of kin have been informed.

Former neighbour Lisa Horne, 39, described the mother as “lovely”, adding that she believed she was in her late teens.

“She always kept herself to herself,” she said, after placing flowers outside the house.

“She was in the garden with her son, or when we were doing the car she was there with hers.

“She always said ‘Morning’ or ‘Hello’.

“It’s a bit of a shock.”

She continued: “Every time we were out here she was polite.

“We were here for about a year-and-a-half before we moved at Christmas. She was lovely.

“She never had any issues and was quiet.

“I just feel at a loss, at such a young age for both of them, no life at all really.”

Chinese President Xi Jinping gave Mr Trump and first lady Melania Trump the two most expensive presents in 2017: an ornate calligraphy display and presentation box worth 14,400 dollars (£10,931) and a porcelain dinnerware set that includes plates imprinted with the pink house at Mr Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort worth 16,250 dollars (£12,336).

Like all of the other gifts to Mr Trump, his wife, daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, those were turned over to the National Archives.

The Saudis and Gulf Arab states gave at least 24,120 dollars (£18,310) in gifts to the Trumps.

Those included a 6,400 dollar (£4,858) ruby and emerald pendant necklace from Saudi Arabia’s
King Salman, a gold-plated fighter jet model worth 4,850 dollars (£3,681) from Bahrain’s crown prince, a 3,700 dollar (£2,808) bronze statue of three oryx from the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, a set of gold-plated Kuwaiti coins worth 1,610 dollars (£1,222) from Kuwait’s emir and “royal” perfume in a reptile skin carrying case worth 1,260 dollars (£956) from the deputy prime minister of Oman.

Others in the Middle East did not stint when it came to presents for the first family, according to the 64-page list compiled by the State Department’s Office of Protocol, which is to be published in the Federal Register on Thursday.

The Trumps received a personalised hardcover book of Psalms worth 4,500…

In a surprise decision on Thursday, the Lyon court handed Barbarin a six-month suspended prison sentence for not reporting the facts in the period between July 2014 and June 2015.

Rev Bernard Preynat’s alleged victims said Barbarin and other church officials covered up for him for years, but the statute of limitations had expired on some charges and even the victims had expected that the cardinal would be acquitted.

The prosecutor had also argued against convicting, saying there were no grounds to prove legal wrongdoing.

Preynat is accused of abusing Boy Scouts in the 1970s and 80s and will be tried separately.

Following the verdict, Barbarin said he would soon offer his resignation to the Pope.

Barbarin was not in court for the decision, but in a brief statement afterwards he said: “I have decided to go and see the Holy Father to offer him my resignation.”

He spoke of his “compassion” for the alleged victims and said they are in his prayers.

His lawyer Jean-Felix Luciani said he will appeal against the verdict, which he said was “not fair at the juridical level”.

Speaking of his “disappointment” at the sentence, Mr Luciani added: “We hope that at the next step, justice will be done” – suggesting he is hopeful of acquittal in the appeal.

Five other defendants were acquitted.

Alleged victims of Preynat said Barbarin’s conviction is a victory for child protection.

The model and actress (formerly Hailey Baldwin) and her husband, singer Justin Bieber, both attend Hillsong church and have been open about their faith and their decision to not have sex before getting married.

In an interview on the programme Now with Natalie on the Hillsong online TV channel, Hailey Bieber spoke about her insecurities and how she combines her Christian faith with her work.

When asked how she feels when she sees herself on billboards she said she still finds it surreal: “The feeling doesn’t ever get different. I’m still just like this is crazy, I can’t believe this is my life and this is happening.

“I obviously believe in modesty but a big part of my job is body and face and vanity and, like, that is the whole kind of premise of what I do. So, it’s actually really difficult to try to be like, ok, well this is what I do for my job but on Sunday I’m in church and that’s, like, a real thing for me and that’s a real lifestyle for me and Jesus is a real thing for me, without it looking like I’m compromising everything.

Bieber told interviewer, Natalie Manuel Lee, she compares herself to people a lot and often doesn’t feel good enough.

“There’s so many other people doing this and at the end of the day people don’t care who you are – they don’t care who your family is, they don’t care where you came from because there’s always gonna be someone else that’s…

The Trussell Trust, Church Action on Poverty and leaders from 13 other charities have written to Theresa May calling for the creation of a “hardship fund” for those who could be worst hit by Britain leaving the EU without a deal.

They claim that children, the elderly, hospital patients and low-income families could all be affected.

The letter adds: “The UN has estimated that 8.4 million people in the UK (half of them children) experience household food insecurity – missing meals or unable to afford adequate food.

“Food price inflation caused by a no-deal Brexit is likely to affect these people, and the services providing food to support them, disproportionately.”

Bank of England governor Mark Carney (below) warned MPs in December that food prices could surge by up to ten per cent if the UK crashes out of the EU.

Its feared services that feed millions of people every day, such as meals on wheels and free school dinners, as well as supplies to food banks, homeless hostels and refuges, could all be hit by the predicted spikes in food prices.

The charities are calling for Mrs May to come up with “detailed plans” to help the people most vulnerable to food disruption, and to work with local authorities and frontline charities to mitigate the potential risks to food supply and prices.

Twenty-three people were killed and dozens more were injured when the powerful tornado ripped through Lee County. The youngest of those killed was six and the oldest was 89.

Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones said the list of the missing had shrunk from dozens to just seven or eight.

 

“We’ve got piles of rubble that we are searching just to make sure,” said Opelika Fire Chief Byron Prather Jr. “We don’t think we’ll find nobody there, but we don’t want to leave any stone unturned.”

At the Vatican, Pope Francis said he was praying for those affected by the Alabama tornado, saying he is spiritually close to all those who are suffering and grieving.

 

Francis sent a telegram of condolences to the bishop of Mobile, Alabama, the Most Reverend Thomas Rodi, saying he was saddened to learn of the “tragic loss of life and injuries” caused by the twister.

Francis prayed for peace and strength for the survivors, and that God “may grant eternal rest to the dead, especially the children, and healing and consolation to the injured and those who grieve”.

 

The tornado was an EF4 with winds estimated at 170mph and carved a path of destruction up to nine-tenths of a mile wide in Alabama, scraping up the earth in a phenomenon known as “ground rowing”, the National Weather Service said.

It travelled…

Asia Bibi ‘very unwell’ in Pakistan safe house

• Church and Ministry

Asia Bibi, who was moved to a safe house in Karachi after her acquittal was upheld by the country’s Supreme Court last month, is reportedly experiencing very low blood pressure.

A source told the Daily Mail: “Everyone is very worried. She won her appeal and was supposed to be out of Pakistan by now.

 

“Even though the government says she can leave, the army has all the power in this case”.

It has been claimed officials fear Ms Bibi will cast a negative light on Pakistan if she gives media interviews about her lengthy court case and spell in jail.

 

But authorities have insisted the mother-of-five is a free woman and has been living under guard for her own protection.

Behind the scenes, foreign diplomats have been trying to pave the way for her departure from Pakistan.

 

It is believed Ms Bibi may intend to travel to Canada – where members of her family have already been offered asylum.

Ms Bibi was accused of insulting the Islamic prophet Mohammad after a row involving a group of Muslim women over the use of a water cup. She always denied any wrongdoing.
