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. So, 3 daughters, 5 sons, including twin boys, and counting. Half-siblings who share their father's DNA, but not each other's lives or indeed Kenzie's continued presence as they grow up Kenzie, a single gay man, this week emerged as one of Britain's most prolific freelance sperm donors.

"As far as he is concerned, he is not expecting to be named a minister. If he is offered an appointment, when he gets to the bridge he will then cross it. he is already a minister of the gospel.

And he say's he has no regret on what he did in 2011. If an opportunity presents itself for the second time, he will do it again. he is not seeking anything. “Let’s not count chickens before they are hatched. The bible says the expectation of the righteous will not be cut off. That is when the expectation of the righteous is in tandem with God’s expectation.

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.

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

An emergency evacuation is underway on the island of Reunion where Le Piton de la Fournaise has recorded unusual activity. The pending eruption bizarrely comes just hours after it was reported the suspected wreckage of missing passenger jet Malaysian Airlines MH370 washed up on the beach.

Around 10 Malaysian aviation experts have reportedly arrived at La Reunion to investigate plane debris believed to be part of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

Ukrainian security forces said Wednesday that they captured a Russian Army major who was allegedly delivering explosives to pro-Moscow rebels in the country. 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. Numerous Russians captured in the conflict zone have been described as “volunteers” by the Kremlin. However, both Kiev and its Western allies have accused Moscow of supporting the insurgents by sending heavy weapons and troops.

The 'Sin City' star - who has daughters Honor, seven, and Haven, three, with husband Cash Warren - has admitted she was worried about the opinions of other mothers when she gave birth to her eldest child. She shared: "Doesn't it feel like the mean girl thing from high school sort of just transforms into adulthood through motherhood? I think it has to do with hormones, right? ... "And then your hormones go crazy again when you're pregnant and having a baby - and even when you're breastfeeding. And I feel like maybe it's just all those hormones, and people don't know where to put their energy, so they just start clashing."

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is hopeful Gary Cahill will be available for the Community Shield meeting with Arsenal on 2 August despite suffering a broken nose in the friendly against Barcelona on 29 July.

Mourinho is not worried about his defender missing the season's curtain raiser at Wembleythough. "Cahill has a chance of a broken nose, maybe yes, maybe no," Mourinho said via Chelsea's official website."If no, perfect. 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

More than 30 years after a series of bombings and shootings in Sydney left four people dead, police have arrested a 68-year-old suspect in a case that terrorised Australia’s legal fraternity. Leonard John Warwick was arrested yesterday after a three-year cold case investigation into a Sydney crime spree that became known as the Family Court bombings because it targeted Family Court judges and their families, said New South Wales Police homicide squad commander, Superintendent Mick Willing.

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

The lion was lured out of Hwange National Park using a bait and was shot by Walter James Palmer with a crossbow, Johnny Rodrigues, chairman of Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, told reporters.

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. Turkey and the United States are working on plans to provide a

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R., Kent.) on Tuesday demanded Hillary Clinton return the money her campaign has raised from Planned Parenthood. “Today I call on @HillaryClinton to return money she’s raised from Planned Parenthood!” Paul wrote on Twitter Tuesday morning, hours after the Center for Medical Progress unveiled a third videoallegedly exposing the federally funded organization’s sale of body parts from aborted fetuses. Clinton has collectednearly $10,000 from nine individuals who work for Planned Parenthood since the start of her campaign, outpacing all of her Democratic competitors when it comes to raising money from the country’s largest abortion provider. After the release of a second video showing a Planned Parenthood official negotiating the sale of fetal tissue last week, Clinton defendedthe organization and labeled the videos an “attack against women’s rights to choose.” “I don’t have all the facts but Planned Parenthood has apologized for the inse

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

Kenya is an anti-gay country. Below is what President Obama said when asked during a press conference this afternoon in Nairobi what he thinks about gay rights in Kenya.

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

Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, senators have warned the Federal Government against using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to intimidate them, vowing to resist such attempt. They asked President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that some people do not use his name to misuse state machinery in fighting their perceived political opponents in the guise of waging anti-corruption war. A statement on Friday by Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, on behalf of PDP senators, read, “As much as we are not against the anti-corruption agencies performing their statutory duties, the invitation by EFCC to the wife of the Senate President, Mrs. Toyin Saraki, clearly indicated that the threat by a group within the National Assembly to use all means to fight the National Assembly leadership is now being carried out. “Nigerians should ask the EFCC what it was waiting for all this while before realising that it would need to invite Mrs. Saraki when she left the Government House with her husband in 2011.

ABUJA, July 23 (Reuters) - Nigeria's state oil company has yet to assess the damage to a key pipeline carrying gasoline to Lagos and the southwest region following a major explosion, a spokesman said on Thursday. The trunk line was shut down on Wednesday following an overnight blast near the town of Arepo on the edge of Lagos state as a result of a clash between groups of vandals. The National Emergency Management Agency said that it could not provide a death toll over a day later as its workers could still not safely access the swampy area, known to be dangerous. "The fire is out but the terrain is difficult to access ... We still need to assess the damage. The line has been shutdown and there is no effect to gasoline availability as we have full depots," Nasir Imodagbe, a spokesman for the products and pipelines subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp (NNPC) said.

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
