The Bin Laden's bar where Rio 2016 athletes enjoy a drink once they have finished their events

Rio 2016 may be struggling with empty seats but one venue is proving popular - 'Bin Laden's bar'.
Athletes and officials are going there to unwind once they have finished their events.
And Brazilian owner Jose Felipe de Araujo, 60, known as Bin Laden because of his big beard, is posing with them for 'selfies'.
Argentines, Russians, Icelandics, Spanish and members of the Myanmar team have all celebrated the Olympics there. Jose runs the only bar open late near the Athlete's Village.

And his nickname and lack of English has not put teams off having a few beers with Bin Laden.
"When they want something, they point, I point, and it all goes right somehow," he said.
Kim Tanskanen, a trainer for the USA gymnastics team, said: "He does look like him! But that's in the past. Bin Laden is dead.
"What matters is that the service is great. It's the first time I've tried caipirinha. It's good, I thought it was very sweet."
A Czech coach said: "It's friendlier here than in the Athlete's Village, and apart from anything, if I order a meal there it will take 10 times as long as it does here."
A plate of food at Bin Laden's costs only R$14 (less than £4). It's a 10 minute walk from the Athlete's Village and 'the party goes on until 2am'.

Lips filler addict: Single mum splashes more than £1,600 on her huge trout pout, 'It's my life and lips and I don't care'

A single mum has revealed how she's saving her pennies from her care worker job to buy herself lip fillers - and she loves her huge trout pout.
Alia Byrne first got the dermal fillers injected into her lips for a 29th birthday treat.
The 30-year-old, who is devoted to her two-year-old son, says it was a long-held ambition - and once she started, she just couldn't stop.
Now, she's had more than 6.5ml of fillers injected, splurging £250 per session, £1,625 in total.
Alia hopes to go even bigger with her lips and wants a further 1ml of fillers injected. She's say the procedure is painful but worth it.
Although some may feel that Alia's cosmetically enhanced lips are excessive, Alia says that her new pout has made her happier than ever and she has even won thousands of admirers on social media.
Devoted mum Alia explains: "Sometimes I do get stares down the street and my mum has told me to stop getting lip fillers. But it doesn't bother me.
"It's my life and lips and I don't care. I'm a good mum and it's the only thing I spend my money on that's for me so I shouldn't be judged for my enhanced lips.
"Everything I have goes to my child. I have always lived my life for my son and getting fillers is something I've done just for me. My new lips have given me so much confidence.
"People say my lips are big but because I see them every day, I really don't think they're that huge at all. I would definitely like to get more fillers put in."
In her twenties, Alia always hated her thin lips and felt insecure about them.
She explains: "I would look at other girls on Instagram with their big lips and think, oh yeah, I would love to get that done but I didn't have the confidence to get fillers.
"I was always very responsible and didn't like to spend on myself."
But after her son was born, Alia decided to indulge herself and get lip fillers.
In August 2015, Alia used the birthday money she had received to get 1ml of fillers injected.
She says: "The first time I got my lips done, I used my birthday money from my sister and mother to pay for it.
"After the treatment, I was immediately hooked! But I was disappointed that my lips weren't as big as I wanted them to be.
"So I kept going to the clinic every few months and got a further 1ml injected every time until they were the way I wanted them to look."
Alia has had a 6.5ml of dermal fillers injected in just under a year and she saves up from her wages as a caretaker to pay for lip fillers.

The floating dead: Devastating floods uproot caskets from graveyard in Louisiana

Coffins float eerily down a submerged road in Louisiana after severe flooding dislodged them from graveyards.
At least four people have died and more than 7,000 have been rescued after the American state was hit by up to 17 inches of rain in 24 hours.
The state, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, has been declared a major disaster zone by the US Government.
Anna Johnson, of Denham Springs, near state capital Baton Rouge, snapped the erie sight of caskets uprooted from the sodden soil floating down the road.
She said: “We’ve never seen anything like this. It’s worse than Hurricane Katrina.”
"My husband is on rescue missions right now. He has a boat and he's helping local sheriffs department."
Anna took several pictures around her neighbourhood showing roads and residential areas covered in flood water as well as her former high school. She also used her own drone to take aerial images of her neighbourhood inundated with flood waters.
It was reported as much as 11in of rain fell on Baton Rouge in just 24 hours, and as much as 17in elsewhere in the state in Livingston.
The Comite and Amite Rivers, near Baton Rouge and Denham Springs, were both predicted to reach record levels over the weekend.
State Governor John Bel Edwards announced that the federal government had declared a major disaster for the state of Louisiana.
He said: "I have traveled to affected areas and have seen the destruction caused by this unprecedented flooding.
"This is an ongoing event, and we are confident that every available state and federal resource will be brought to bear."

Justin Bieber deactivated his Instagram account amid social media feud with ex Selena Gomez

Justin Bieber has apparently made good on threat to make his Instagram private after fans made mean comments about his rumored girlfriend Sofia Richie. He even went as far as to delete his Instagram account, as fans can no longer access his page since late Monday, August 15. The 22-year-old pop superstar initially switched his account to private before changing his mind and making his page public again. He, however, made a dramatic move by deleting it entirely, not long after sharing a picture to introduce his new pet, a fluffy white puppy called Todd.
Justin was slammed by fans immediately after he set his account private. "In the moment you went privat (sic) you lost many fans...," wrote one user. Another added, "and now we are leaving u."
He left his fans even more puzzled when he decided to delete his Instagram account. "why did he have to be so dramatic and delete his Instagram ya could've just disabled the comments @justinbieber," one person wrote on Twitter. Another commented, "EMERGENCY ALERT EVERYONE WAKE UP JUSTIN BIEBER DELETED HIS INSTAGRAM OMG OMG OMG IM SHOOK #JUSTINDEACTIVATEDPARTY."

Justin deactivated his Instagram account amid social media feud with his ex Selena Gomez, which started as Selena seemingly threw shade at the Canadian singer for threatening to make his Instagram private. "If you can't handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol," she allegedly wrote in the deleted post. "It should be special between you two only. Don't be mad at your fans. They love you." Justin then accused Selena of using him for attention, and the former Disney star hit back by accusing him of cheating on her "multiple times" when they were still dating. Justin responded by hinting that Selena was also cheating on him with Zayn Malik.

Kim Kardashian admits to getting butt injections because of her psoriasis

Kim Kardashian has admitted she has had butt injections - but it wasn't to enhance her famous bottom.
The reality TV star has opened up on the procedure - which she undergoes fairly regularly - and revealed it is something she looked into because of her psoriasis.
She has spoken about the skin condition in the past, and explained people thought she'd had implants in her bum after the injections left her with a visible, "huge indent" on her behind.
Speaking in a live stream with fans, she said: "I went to go get a cortisone shot in my butt. I lived right by [Los Angeles boutique] Kitson. One of my neighbours was a dermatologist at [Cedars-Sinai Hospital].
"I go in there and he's like, 'There's a one in a billion chance that you will get a huge indent in your butt.' Of course I get a huge indent on my butt."
The dent sparked speculation Kim - who has sparked outrage after saying she isn't a feminist - had turned to implants to enhance her butt.
However, the star has set the record straight - and revealed she still gets injections to help with her condition.
She added: "Every few years I get a cortisone shot. I just got one as my psoriasis was so bad in Vegas."
Kim has been open about the condition, which is an over-reaction to the immune system, causing inflammation and rapid growth of skin cells.
It leads to scaly, red, itchy patches of skin over a sufferer's body.
