Far-left German MP hit with cream pie in protest at stance on refugees
A prominent member of Germany's far-left Linke party was hit in the face with a chocolate cream pie in an attack claimed by a self-styled "anti-fascist" group protesting her stance on refugees.

Formula One: Daniel Ricciardo secures his maiden pole and tactical advantage
A beaming Daniel Ricciardo secured his maiden career pole position and a clear tactical advantage when he produced a stunning fastest lap for Red Bull in Saturday's incident-packed qualifying session for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix.
The 26-year-old Australian, driving with supreme aplomb, mastered the unforgiving barrier-lined Monte Carlo street circuit with a best lap in one minute and 13.622 seconds, a time he set using a set of "super soft" tyres, considered to be more durable and less adhesive than the "ultra softs" used by his rivals.
It was enough to beat both Mercedes drivers comprehensively, championship leader German Nico Rosberg winding up second, behind him by 0.291 seconds, and defending three-time champion Briton Lewis Hamilton third, after suffering more engine problems that restricted his running in Q3.
