Scotland Yard has formally accused Russia of carrying out a nuclear attack on the streets of London for the first time. Years of painstaking investigation and forensic workhave convinced British law enforcement agents and the security services that the Kremlin was behind a dastardly plot to assassinate a Russian defector with a cup of tea laced with the radioactive isotope Polonium-210. “Our silence must now end,” said the lawyer representing Scotland Yard, on the penultimate day of the inquiry into the death of Alexander Litvinenko. Litvinenko, a former KGB and FSB agent, died a slowly, and in great pain, in November 2006. Several weeks earlier he had taken tea with a former Russian intelligence operative at a luxury hotel less than a mile from Buckingham Palace. The radioactive substance that killed him was eventually detected in hair samples and traced, via a teapot at the Millennium hotel, all the way back to Moscow. “The… investigation has always had, at its central core, the s...

Kenzie Kilpatrick's eighth child was born last week. He is thrilled, showing a picture on his phone of the girl - as yet unnamed - who arrived on Tuesday, July 21, at 10.44am, weighing 6lb 15oz. He reads out a message from the mother, which says: 'I'm so happy to tell you that our little miracle baby girl is here. All thanks to you. She is beautiful.'. The 26-year-old looks as proud as any new dad, but Kenzie will play no further part in this child's life.Nor will he be a parent to his 7 other biological children - all born, one after the other, in the past 3 months or the 2 who are due any time now.

Prime Minister David Cameron convened a meeting of his government's emergency response committee to discuss what more it could do to tackle a spike in attempts by migrant to enter Britain illegally via the Channel Tunnel from France. Cameron is under growing pressure to deter the migrants, many of whom have travelled from Africa and the Middle East, after repeated disruption to cross-Channel passenger and freight traffic, which has become front page news. Cameron will chair the meeting of the committee, known as Cobra, later on Friday after calls from some politicians to mobilise the British army to reinforce border controls. The government has said it is working to erect new security fencing around the French port of Calais, the flashpoint for the crisis. Re-elected in May, Cameron has promised to cut net annual migration to Britain to the tens of thousands, a pledge he failed to keep during his first 2010-15 term in office when it hit a near record high of over 300,000 people pe...

US health officials have confirmed the presence of a 'brain-eating' amoeba in the water supply of several communities near New Orleans. Ascension Parish and St Bernard Parish have each discovered Naegleria fowleri, an amoeba that enters through the nose and attacks the brain. Officials have begun a 60 day "chlorine burn" to kill off the deadly pathogen. Water from the tap is safe to drink, officials say, but should be prevented from entering the nose. This is the second time in two years that the amoeba has been discovered outside New Orleans. The water system currently serves about 44,000 people, according to ABC News. Before Hurricane Katrina in 2005 the system served 68,000. During a screening of the water supply after the rediscovery of the amoeba, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (LDHH) found that chlorine levels were not being maintained at the level needed to kill off the dangerous organism. 'Destruction of brain tissue' Chlorine levels...

Tens of thousands of children in El Salvador flee their homes each year to escape gang violence, and the government is "either unwilling or unable" to protect them from persecution, a U.S.-based advocacy group said on Thursday. Refugees International said El Salvador had not publicly acknowledged the leading role gangs played in driving families from their homes to seek refuge in other parts of the Central American nation or in the United States. The country is racked by drug-fuelled gang violence, with entire city neighbourhoods controlled by powerful street gangs, known as maras. "Although this violence is causing people to flee, the government prefers to say that most Salvadorans who leave the country are doing so for economic reasons, or to be reunited with family," RI said in its report. Tania Camila Rosa, head of human rights at the foreign affairs ministry, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation last year "The fundamental reason for 12 to 18-year-olds migr...

A young man was lost wandering in a forest, when he came upon a small house. He knocked on the door and was greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long, grey beard. "I'm lost," said the man. "Can you put me up for the night?" "Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition. If you so much as lay a finger on my daughter, I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man." "Ok," said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old as well, and entered the house. Before dinner, the daughter came down the stairs. She was young, beautiful, and had a fantastic figure. She was obviously attracted to the young man since she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man's warning, he ignored her and went up to bed alone. But during he night, he could bear it no longer, and sneaked into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet so the old m...

Moscow has maintained that it is not involved in the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine between forces loyal to Kiev and the self-declared separatist republics that favor Russia.

If yes, he will get a mask tomorrow to be ready for Sunday [against Arsenal]." Costa meanwhile featured for an hour against Luis Enrique's side but was replaced by Loic Remy after suffering an...

Press statement from the PDP... The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at its meeting today thoroughly considered a number of very important issues pertaining to the state of affairs in our nation. The NWC brings to the attention of President Muhammadu Buhari to some disturbing development in the polity which, if not nipped in the bud, might significantly affect our democracy and stability as a nation negatively, and that is the growing and unwarranted intrusion of some over-zealous security operatives on issues bordering purely on politics.In particular, the NWC wishes to draw the attention of the President to the continued intimidation, harassment as well as the hounding, arrest and detention of Electoral Officers and members of election tribunals by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Rivers, Akwa-Ibom and other PDP states. The NWC notes that this unfortunate development has been the case since the appointment of the new Direc...

A North Korean army General has said that another war on the Korean peninsula would leave no Americans left to sign a surrender document, in a grandstanding speech that marked the 62nd anniversary of the armistice of the Korean War. North Korean citizens flocked to mass patriotic gatherings and dances in honour of the armistice day, in honour of the agreement, which was signed on 27 July 1953. The armistice is hailed every year as a North Korean victory over America, which fought alongside South Korea and UN forces against North Korean forces, which were backed by China and the USSR. Although the agreement ended the war, it was a truce, not a peace treaty. As a result, North Korea and South Korea are still technically at war.In an address, the text of which was broadcast on state television, Kim Jong-unfurther stepped up his anti-American rhetoric, and boasted about his country's nuclear arsenal. He said: "Gone forever is the era when the United States blackmailed us with nu...

United Nations aid chief Stephen O'Brien warned Turkey on Tuesday against calling its planned buffer in northern Syria "a safe zone" unless there is a guarantee of protection for civilians who are likely to flood the area for help. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said earlier that a "secure zone" would pave the way for the return of 1.7 million Syria refugees currently sheltering in Turkey after fleeing their country's four-year civil war. "What you don't want to do is call something a safe zone, people flee to it, but it hasn't got sufficient protection," O'Brien told reporters after briefing the U.N. Security Council on the humanitarian situation in Syria. "As our primary objective is the protection of civilians we need to make sure there is protection in place and that is not always the role of the humanitarians, it needs to be established by others," he said.

I like the courage of this man. He explains why he cannot stop being unfaithful to his wife.The best thing that can happen to any one is to know your problems and seek for for solution..He really needs our advice on how to get things going normal in his marriage. Below is the full story: My wife and I hardly make love. We’ve been married for a year and the most we have s*x is twice a month. I see her unclad body everyday and I get urges, but she always gives an excuse. We had amazing s*x when were dating, but now we don’t even kiss. I just want to have s*x. I don’t mind even if it’s horrible s*x. That’s why I’ve been cheating on her. For me, my wife’s job is to have good s*x with me. Simple. I can pay someone to cook for me and clean the house, but if I hire a prostitute to do what my wife doesn’t want to do, am I a bad man? So why are women so selfish? Even if she is not in the mood, can’t she try? Even if she is on her period, what happened to blow jobs or hand jobs? I need s*xual r...

You can look at the history of people around the world. When you start treating people differently not because of the harm they are doing to anybody but because they are different, that's the path whereby freedom is beginning to erode. If somebody is a law abiding citizen who is going about their business and not breaking any law and obeying the traffic signs and doing all the things good citizens are supposed to do and n...

Council-funded museums and galleries across the UK are considering scrapping free entry as cuts bite, the head of the Museums Association has said. York Art Gallery will introduce a £7.50 entrance fee after the body that runs it had its council subsidy cut by 60%. That follows Brighton Museum and Art Gallery's decision to charge tourists. Museums Association president David Fleming said charging for entry was now on the agenda at many other venues that face local council funding cuts. "I'm absolutely certain that museums all over the country are considering introducing admissions fees in order to try to help plug the gaps that are appearing in their budgets," he said. But the move would only be successful in towns and cities that attract a significant number of tourists, he added. Entrance charges at many publicly-funded museums and galleries were dropped around 15 years ago in an attempt to bring in a wider range of visitors. The government has pledged to keep free ...
