French general, would have used a military jet to… go home

A French general was accused of using a military plane to travel home


According to Sky News, the official would have used the Alpha Jet for personal purposes at least ten times.


In this way, the French general traded the seven hours trip with a 30 minutes ‘supersonic ride’ in the Alpha Jet.


Richard Reboul would have used the military plane at least ten times only in the last year to fly from his workplace in Bordeaux to his home in Provence.


This route would normally have lasted about seven hours by train or one hour with a commercial flight.


Instead, the official traveled in style and arrived home in less than 30 minutes.


According to the French publication Le Canard Enchaine, the fuel of the military aircraft would cost the French taxpayers tens of thousands of euros.


The general’s getaways came to light after he began using another military plane, which had another pilot and a co-pilot.


The pair was apparently urged to give the general “a ride home” and on the weekends they were scheduled to lift him from his place.


The new French defense minister, Florence Parly, has announced that an investigation will be initiated, announcing that there will be “consequences” if it is confirmed that the general has “abused resources”.


Alpha Military Aircraft are commonly used in military exercises, and sometimes they are also part of aviation shows.

The use of drugs is by far one of the most severe problems encountered in schools and high schools, regardless of what country we are talking about.



Several Chinese schools have decided to combat drugs by urging children to experiment virtual reality simulations, meant to expose them the destructive effects these substances generate.



According to Mashable, the kids who experienced the virtual reality therapy stated the method had strange effects on their bodies and they refuse to repeat it.


Drug use become one of the most common death causes among infants


When children are in school, parents have no control over them so and they become able to manifest freely.



It’s very important for them to know the destructive effects that drug have and to find out how to protect themselves.

Despite the fact that he is omnipresent in the press, there is only one publication which didn’t have the “honor” of placing Donald Trump on the cover of their 1st March issue: Time.


Five fake magazine covers were discovered in the golf clubs owned by the White House leader.


According to Time, the covers are 100% “false”, writes BBC.


On the digitally altered Time cover, Donald Trump is wearing a black suit.


The titles placed beneath Trump’s frowning facial expression mention some articles about US President Barrack Obama, climate change, and the financial crisis, all of them taken from the original version of the magazine, originally covered by British actress Kate Winslet.


The American magazine confirmed for BBC the cover is fake and the US leader didn’t appear on the cover of the magazine in that year.


A spokeswoman said the magazine has required the Trump Organization to remove the images.


The Washington Post, who published the story for the first time, said the model was displayed in two places in the billionaire’s resort from Miami.


Also, the cover was displayed in one of Trump’s country clubs in Loudoun, Virginia


Photographer Scott Keeler has published on Tweeter a wall of a Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, which features two Time covers with Donald Trump portraits.

Trees are the best solution to combat the effects of pollution so China decided to “build” its own forest


According to experts, central parks from China’s most important cities have a positive effect on the atmosphere.


The trees possess the ability to consume significant amounts of carbon dioxide and generate clean oxygen in exchange.


The process is known as photosynthesis and based on the same principle, the Chinese experts plan to combat the high level of pollution by planting trees, well… everywhere.


Although the process of planting trees in cities has become quite difficult, China is determined to build “forest towns” from scratch.


The first project of its kind is known as the Liuzhou Forest City and after its finalization, the forest city will accommodate no less than 30.000 people.


All buildings from Liuzhou will be covered in plants to reduce pollution and the entire will host a total number of one million plants.


An advanced geothermal energy system will be responsible for the city’s air conditioning and, inevitably, solar panels will generate power for the new Chinese community.


The public transport network will be exclusively electric, and a train line will connect Liuzhou Forest City to Liuzhou City.


Liuzhou Forest City will be located in the southern area of China because there are not very low temperatures throughout the year to significantly influence the vegetation development. The city will be completed in 2020, and in the end, the entire ecosystem will be able to absorb 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere per year, plus 57 tons of other pollutants.

 Ukraine was by far the most affected state, considering that the activity of several banks, state institutions, companies, and airports were completely blocked on Wednesday


The Kiev government announced in a statement the cyber-attack was stopped and the situation is “under control”.


In addition to Ukraine’s top energy companies, banks, gas stations and supermarkets, apparently, the ransomware also targeted the automatic door closers.


What we expected from NASA a decade ago can now be conducted by every sucker who owns a smartphone.


While the world’s most notorious space agency is posting pictures with pies and cats, the cyber-terrorists are infecting my handle with viruses.


Pathetic mankind, I do not know where are we heading … It’s happening in Kiev”, revealed a member of the Expert Forum on Facebook.


This is not the first time when Ukraine is being targeted by a massive cyber-attack.


In December 2015, the entire northern and central region of the country experienced a major outage after a virus was installed in the distribution system, which led to the failure of the entire system.

The image that was supposed to grant the cover of Hello! 1997 September issue showcased a relaxed Diana, covered in a blue bathing suit on a yacht.



That certain issue was supposed to be printed on 6th September


However, the magazine’s plans were turned upside down by the terrible new regarding the Princess of Wales’ death.


Obviously, that picture was replaced by a proper one in order to commemorate the world’s most beloved princess.



The Hello! editors are now revealing what Lady Di’s was up to a few days before her death.


“When she died, a huge empty place was formed in my heart.


If I will ever manage to fill at least a very small part of this gap, then I am pleased. I will try, for the rest of my life, to fill that void”, revealed Prince Harry.

NASA clarified the rumors regarding the existence of aliens, launched by the Anonymous organization via Youtube


The video published by the hackers went viral after they “revealed” that NASA is preparing to a make historic announcement: to recognize the existence of aliens, following some recent discoveries the Space Agency allegedly have made.


NASA denied everything and insisted on the idea that there is no such evidence just yet.


“We do not know yet, but we have missions that could bring us closer to a concrete response”, clarified American researcher Thomas Zurbuchen.


The video released by Anonymous was pretty much based on some of Thomas Zurbuchen’s statements, picked up from one of his previous interviews.


NASA claims Anonymous does not possess substantial information to confirm the speculation.


Anonymous released the video shortly after Zuburchen talked about NASA’s last discovery.


The project conducted with the Kepler Space Telescope discovered the 219 celestial bodies outside the solar system.

The citizens who don’t sing the national anthem with “spite” might get a fine or worse, they could end up behind bars, according to a new draft law In Philippine, write The Telegraph.


The new law, already approved by the House of Representatives, forces all Filipinos to perform their national anthem during national holidays or manifestations broadcasted live.


However, for the ones who don’t sing the hymn with “spite” and “enthusiasm” things are not looking good.


In order to go into force, the draft law must also be approved by the Senate


Those who dare to violate Rodrigo Duterte’s claim might receive a 1.560 pounds fine or a one-year sentence.


The reckless who dare to violate the rule for the second time, will end up with behind bars but also with the eye-popping fine.


“Any action that shows contempt, dishonor or ridicule the national anthem will be punished”, suggests the controversial bill.


When the country’s anthem is being broadcasted, all citizens must redirect their faces in front of their national flag or at the orchestra.


In India, cinemas are forced to broadcast the country’s hymn before screening a movie.


In December, 19 people would have been arrested because they did not stand up when the anthem was broadcasted.


Subsequently, a court had to clarify that it is not mandatory for people to stand up.

North Korea wants to kill the former leader from Seoul, Park Geun-hye


Pyongyang has threatened to execute the former president because she allegedly planned to assassinate their beloved leader, writes The Guardian.


In May, the North Korean state reported they have just uncovered a conspiracy aimed to exterminate Kim Jong-Un, plotted by Seoul and Washington.


A few days ago, North Korea’s national press agency has accused the former South Korean president of playing the key part in this story.


“We officially announce in our home and abroad that we plan to apply the death penalty to traitor Park Geun-hye”, wrote KCNA.


Former South Korean intelligence director Lee Byung-ho is also targeted by the threat


“From this moment on, they might benefit from a miserable death, just like a pair of dogs, anytime, anywhere, in any way”, the Pyongyang press agency writes.


Moreover, North Korea has required Seoul to deliver Park Geun-hye and Lee Byung-ho, accusing them of “infamous terrorism against North Korea’s top magistrate”.


Park was dismissed in December by the South Korean National Assembly, and its immunity was lifted in March.


She was imprisoned after she was accused of corruption, coercion, and abuse of power.


The former president risks the lifetime penalty.


Pyongyang is still launching threats alluded to Seoul and Washington after Donald Trump said that he is ready to resolve the North Korean issue with or without China’s support.

After his girlfriend committed suicide in September 2015, Jim Carrey was dragged in a massive murder case initiated by Cathriona’s grieving family.


According to some court documents, Carrey is being accused of supplying his former flame with the substances that she eventually used to kill herself.


Cathriona White was 28-years-old when she committed the horrific gesture


Unfortunately for the comedy legend, his former girlfriend left him a farewell message when she decided to administrate the overdose.


Apparently, the actor’s girlfriend previously attempted to commit suicide in 2012 after her father died.


Shortly after the news related to Cathriona’s death emerged, the actor published a message on social media, in which he expressed his shock and sadness.


The special agents who checked the Cathriona’s death scene discovered three different pills.


However, the medical containers discovered on the woman’s bedside were bought with under the name of ‘Arthur King’, a pseudonym often used by Carrey.


Now, Jim Carrey is accused of murder because his name appears on the containers, knowing that she attempted to commit suicide in the past.


Prosecutors accusing the actor claim Jim would have given Cathriona the medication three or four days before her death.

Apparently, Gigi’s sister is simply annoyed by the fact that some people confused her, at one point, with one of Hollywood’s bad girls.


It’s about Bella Thorne, Scott Disick’s on and off flame.


Instead of calling her Bella Hadid, some fans shouted at the Victoria’s Secret model ‘Bella Thorne’ while she was in New York.


In Bella Hadid’s opinion, the fact that someone associated her image with the actresses name is completely detrimental for the brunette, especially when it comes to her career.


Apparently, a fan that asked for her autograph heard when Bella Hadid went ballistic and shouted: “It’s not Bella Thorne. I’m the stylish Bella and I also wear more clothes than she does.”


Is she wearing more clothes than Bella Thorne?


We don’t really know what to say about this affirmation, especially if we think about Bella’s Cannes red carpet appearances.


Meanwhile, on social media Thorne’s supporters claim that Scott Disick’s new flame may not have the best taste when it comes to fashion, but when it comes to earning money she struggled to make a name for herself without the help of some famous parents just like in Bella Hadid’s case.


Apparently, during a night out in New York, another fan asked Bella Hadid “how is Scott Disick in bed” and that pretty much represented the last straw for Gigi’s sister.

The new US ambassador to New Zealand is 57-year-old Scott Brown


Shortly after he took the office in the island-country, the press revealed the senator’s “colorful past”.


Apparently, the handsome politician worked as a male model and, at one point in his career, he even posed nude.



The controversial pictures emerged shortly after Brown was designated as the new US ambassador to New Zealand and they were published in a magazine dedicated to women.


In fact, Scott enjoyed a massive success in the 80’s and he was named by Cosmopolitan “The most Attractive Man in America”.


When the reporters asked him about those pictures, the politician played really cool about it and he said he is actually proud of that period of his life because it helped him to finance his studies.



He found the questions funny and he definitely has gained popularity points after telling the New Zealand press that he is eager to have a beer with any native speaker.


Scott Brown loves to play the guitar and he is also into triathlons.


According to Wikipedia, the new NZ ambassador graduated from Boston College Law School and until four years ago he worked with John Kerry as a senator.


The new ambassador was also the Republican nominee for United States Senate for New Hampshire in 2014.

Nicolas Maduro is determined to not bow in front of his country that has been struggling for more than three months with the catastrophic collapse of the economic system.

We will never give up and what we have not been able to obtain with votes we will obtain with weapons.


We will release our homeland with weapons”, stated Maduro during a live broadcast.


The controversial statements are a result of the theft campaign reported in several liquor stores and supermarkets in the last weeks.


Meanwhile, a police helicopter threw grenades over the Supreme Court building, a gesture labeled by President Nicolas Maduro as a “terrorist attack”.


The Supreme Court has played a crucial role in the current political crisis by making decisions in favor of expanding the powers of the president and limiting the opposition-controlled legislature.

During an interview for a different network, the same official apologized for the officer’s behavior, by claiming that “they were bored”.


“However, you cannot have intimate relations in public”, added Neuendorf.


Hamburg will become the host of the G20 Summit on 7th July, therefore thousands of police officers and special agents have been deployed to help the local police to increase their security measures.


Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will travel to Germany to attend the summit hosted by Chancellor Angela Merkel.


It is unclear how many officers have been involved in the incidents, have but Hamburg officials mentioned something about 220 officers.

Despite the fact iPhone 8’s launching date is in September, rumors related to the upcoming iPhone 9 are already swirling


The rumors were originally launched by South Korea and they were also transformed into a news by the Korea Economic Daily.


The article is mostly about a partnership between LG and Apple.


Apparently, LG Innotek is gearing up its production lines to help Apple with the flexible printed circuit boards for the upcoming iPhone 9.


The large-scale production of printed circuit boards will be initiated in 2018, so we could expect an official launch in the exact same year, depending, writes ubergizmo.com.


Flexible integrated circuits are a crucial element in the creation of flexible handsets.


Even if Apple manages to come up with flexible screens, they would have no use if the internal circuits would remain rigid.


The iPhone 8 would have a bold display on the edges and looks pretty much like the Galaxy S8, giving the impression of a display without racks.


We have no idea what the iPhone 9 will look like, but we can hope for a flexible phone.


Samsung is currently working on a similar device and it is likely to be revealed this year or early in 2019.


If the rumors are true, then Apple should put its products on the move as soon as possible.

A Spanish woman who was born in 1956, claims her mother, a maid known as Antonia, had an affair with Salvador Dalí in the 1950’s, during the artist’s marriage with his muse, Gala Dalí.


He died in Spain in 1989 at the age of 85.


The woman, whose ‘profession’ is fortune-telling is struggling for more than a decade to be legally recognized as the painter’s daughter.


A court from Spain stated there are no biological tools or personal objects that once belonged to the artist that can be used in a DNA test.


So, the Madrid Court believes ‘samples must be collected from Dali’s body as there are no other biological or personal remains to make the comparison.’


The decision to exhume the painter’s remains 30 years after his death for a paternity test is crazy but for ‘some reason’, the Spanish court decided to fulfill the fortune teller’s request.


“We have the opportunity to appeal”, declared a member of the Salvador Dali Foundation, headquartered in the museum with the same name from Figueras.


The surrealist painter was buried in the theater and museum that he had designed in his hometown.


Famous for his original and extravagant art, Dali left behind an impressive fortune, thousands of paintings and art objects.

Australian model Miranda Kerr returned the $8.1 million worth piece of jewelry to the American Department of Justice after the US prosecutors revealed the items were bought by a Malaysian businessman with money stolen from the government.

However, Spice warned that if Assad ‘commits another mass murder, the dictator and his army will pay a harsh price.’


Although these statements generated a massive controversy, the White House refused to reveal further details about Syria’s alleged plans.


Meanwhile, another US official said the US had received information regarding al-Assad’s plans to launch a new chemical attack also with sarin gas in the eastern or southern part of the country, where the Syrian army is still struggling to reclaim certain territories.


Bashar al-Assad has vehemently denied that he would be the responsible for the sarin gas attack from Khan Sheikhoun.

Although the tragedy occurred two years ago, the unusual case is still under investigation and the police are mostly blaming the instructor for the teen’s death.


The accident occurred in Spain, in the Cantabria region. The young woman was tied to the harness but the rope was not fixed and the girl fell off the cliff.


In addition to the accusations that he did he was speaking English poorly clearly, the Spanish instructor is accused of not asking the young person for identification and allowing her to do bungee jumping, although she was not 18 years old, as required by the law.


Also, the bridge where the accident occurred should not be used for bungee jumping, prosecutors claim.

A source close to the couple revealed to a Portuguese publication “they are very happy about the baby. Everyone loves Georgiana and they are pleased with this relationship.”


A few days ago, CR& posted a snap from his place, sitting on a couch with his left hand placed on Georgina’s belly.

Bana became known on social media after she started posting Tweets during the Aleppo siege.


The toddler was ranked by the American publication one of the most popular people on social media, among personalities such as US president Donald Trump, British author J.K. Rowling, Kim Kardashian and Rihanna.


The ranking is published annually and includes 25 persons


This year’s top listed only members who possess a major global influence on social media and the ability to influence the human perception when it comes to certain news.

The communist state launched its own iPhone


The device was named Jindallae 3 and hit the Pyongyang market back in March.


Although the manufacturer labeled the new smartphone as something ‘original’ and ‘extraordinary’, the similarities between Jindallae 3 and the devices included in the iPhone series are pretty obvious.



The hi-tech product was manufactured by the state-owned electronic company Mangyongdae Information Technology Corporation.


However, other information related to North Korea’s most popular smartphone is limited and the only certain thing that we could find out was related to the name.


Apparently, Jindallae was named after a flower from North Korea and a series of photos was attached to the poor description.



Jindallae was officially released in March, but according to some sources, the pictures emerged a few days ago.


The North Korean iPhone comes with an app for photos, one for music, a calculator, an internet browser and a cards game, writes Daily Mail.


The communiqué issued by the North Korean tech company mentions that all the parts of the phone are made in North Korea.



The operating system and the design are also ‘Made in North Korea’.


Also, some experts in the field claim that the phone would have been made in collaboration with a company from China.

From 1998 until 2004, the four actresses were the idols of every single fashionista out there


The dresses, shoes, and bags these ladies wore during the famous ‘Sex and the City’ series flew from the shelves minutes after a new episode aired on HBO.



 


13 years have passed since the second part of the movie was released and the four protagonists no longer resemble their beloved characters.



SJP is a 100% dedicated mommy, Cynthia Nixon is also focused on her family, Kristin Davis is doing her thing also while Kim Cattrall is battling with depression.



Spotted on the streets of New York the other day, the four ‘divas’ looked old, sloppy and careless.


Judging by these images, unfortunately, Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha are long gone…

In a conservative country like Russia, where beauty is exclusively associated with youth, an ambitious entrepreneur wants to launch a revolution

Irina just sealed a contract with the only modeling agency in the world dedicated exclusively to elder women and men.


The agency it’s called Oldushka, a mix between Russian word “babushka” (grandmother) grafted with the English “old”.



It was founded by former Siberian blogger, Igor Gavar, determined to show the world that there is beauty in Russia at any age.


A few years ago, Gavar began publishing on his personal blog the photos of some retired people from Omsk, his hometown.

A nuclear power plant from the Czech Republic has decided that a swimsuit competition sounds like the best way to choose their next generation of interns.


The employees responsible for managing the plant’s Facebook page were asked to rate several high school graduates who just attended a photo session inside the cooling tower.


Although most of their female participants were more than happy to take the shots, the CEZ power conglomerate has caused a scandal in the Czech Republic.


The scandal was mostly generated by the employee’s idea of posting the pictures on Facebook and urging fans to vote their favorite.


The big prize consisted in a 14-days-training at the plant.


The company then apologized for the contest, compared with its previous cultural enrichment programs, such as hosting the Bohemian Philharmonic at the South Bohemian plant.


According to a press release, all 10 contestants have been given the chance to become new interns at the Temelin plant.



 

New ‘dirt’ in Lionel Messi ‘tax evasion’ scandal has emerged

After he was so close to being sentenced to 21 months behind bars, Leo Messi is the center of another scandal


According to ABC daily, the Argentinian used his own charity to hide the revenue generated by the defrauding.


The journalists from the Spanish daily claim the ‘Leo Messi Foundation’ created this hidden branch, especially to hide tens of millions generated by undeclared sponsorship contracts.


The foundation cannot confirm if the money has been spent on social projects or in personal purposes.


ABC reports Messi’s institution acted as an “umbrella for the revenue earned between 2007 and 2015”, stating that at least ten million euros were not declared to the Spanish or Argentine authorities.


Moreover, ABC writes the foundation became operational six years before its official registration.


In 2007, the charity started its activity in Barcelona and in May 2009, Messi along with his father opened an office in Rosario, the hometown of the famous football player.


Basically, the non-governmental organization was officially registered in Barcelona in 2013, when the foundation was not operational in Spain.


Through the Rosario office, the contracts were signed on behalf of the NGO in Argentina and on behalf of the one in the Iberian country, without declaring the income.


As a matter of fact, ABC writes, the South American tax authorities have suspended Messi’s Rosario-based NGO because they have not presented their accounts for three consecutive years.

PSG and Real Madrid are preparing a historic transfer this summer, by which they will also score a killing blow against their eternal rival, FC Barcelona.


The Galacticos are going for Marco Verratti and according to the latest rumors, Florentino Perez is even willing to offer Gareth Bale in order to obtain the Italian baller.


In order to transfer Bale into the capital France, Don Balon claims Perez wants Verratti plus 85 million euros.


The PSG struggled to transfer the player to Real in 2013 for 100 million euros, but the Blancos passed down the offer.


Now the situation has changed and Real will do anything in order to bring Kylian Mbappe.


Gareth Bale (27) is being seeded by the transfermarkt.de profile site at 80 million euros.


The Welsh experimented a lseason full of injuries and only attended 27 matches, scoring 9 goals and offering five decisive passes.


Meanwhile, Marco Verratti (24) is seeded at 45 million euros.


In his 43 matches from the previous season, the Italian scored three goals and provided eight assists.


On the other hand, El Mundo Deportivo claims that Verratti is not willing to quit his dream of playing for Barcelona.


According to the Catalan daily, the Italian would have refused a 12 million salary from PSG and would have told Al Khelaifi that his main goal is to play at the Camp Nou.

New chilling footage released by the Islamic State shows two toddlers forced to execute prisoners

ISIS has released a shocking footage, in which a small group of children is being forced to execute prisoners


Two boys are filmed while they are forcing two men to kneel before shooting them in the head, writes Daily Mail.


The two boys are wearing black garments and the scene was filmed in front of an Afghan building.


Before they execute the order, the two minors were also forced to launch a series of threats.


We warn the images can have a strong emotional impact.


This is not the first time when the Islamic State is using children in their propaganda clips.


Last year, the organization recorded two French children while they were executing two Syrian prisoners.


The new clip appears in the context in which the terrorist group is about to lose the city of Mosul, but also after the Russian army revealed they have killed ISIS leader Ab Bakar al-Baghdadi during a raid.


Shortly after the news regarding al-Baghdadi’s death was confirmed, a group of journalists from Reuters struggled to figure out who is the next in line.


According to the reporters, the most credible variants would be al-Baghdadi’s lieutenants, Iyad al-Obaidi and Ayad al-Jumaili, both former officers in Saddam Hussein’s army.


Iyad al-Obaidi, who is about 50 years old, is ISIS’ ‘war minister’, while Ayad al-Jumaili, who is about 40 years old, is the head of the ISIS’ security agency, Amniya.


In April of this year, an Iraqi state television reported that al-Jumaili had been killed, but the information was not confirmed.

WannaCry is still making victims to this day and it seems the transport system infrastructure is the most vulnerable in the face of this evil ransomware.


The administration of Victoria, Australia announced on Saturday their plans to cancel all traffic tickets because they discovered a virus in the system that controls the video cameras.


“That does not mean the notices are not going to be issued again”, stated Police deputy commissioner Doug Fryer, explaining that he wants to make sure that all the video cameras installed on the traffic lights and those meant to capture the speeders work in optimal parameters.


According to the authorities, 55 video cameras would have been affected by the virus


However, after a more thorough investigation, the Australian experts discovered that more than 280 cameras were infected.


Video cameras are not connected to the internet but they were infected after a maintenance employee connected a USB stick infected with WannaCry to one of the devices.


Fryer says that about 1.643 fines will be withdrawn


Also, 5.500 vouchers have been blocked in the system.


The Commissioner is optimistic regarding the 8.000 fines, but none would leave the system until the cameras are checked.


“We have one of the best camcorders in the world, so the event is very disappointing,” says Fryer, quoted by news.yahoo.com.

 An unbelievable situation just took place in the Romanian city of Constanta, were an American med student was arrested for using drugs and attempting to rape an undercover officer.


According to the Romanian authorities, the investigation was triggered by a slight car crash on 10th June.


The young man who produced the accident got off from his vehicle and he tried to talk to the cops.


Unfortunately, he was so drunk and drugged that no one could understand what he was saying.


During the interrogation he told the police officers that he just spent the night with an American who, most probably, put something in his drink and tried to take advantage of him.


Ironically, the police was not surprised by the story, given that a few days ago another man told them the exact same thing.


That was the moment when they decided to stage an operation.


A police officer went undercover in a club from Constanta and he left the American med student to lure him.


In his place, the special agents found hundreds of medication vials, five laptops, seven mobile phones, and various bottles of substances that are believed to have been used to drug their victims.


The American will be brought before the judges with the proposal for preventive arrest for sexual assault and rape.

A man from California, who had just buried his own son, received the most unexpected phone call, 11 days after the funeral


According to The Guardian, early in May the body of a homeless man was found on the street.


82-year-old Frank J. Kerrigan was informed the deceased is, in fact, his son who suffered from a mental illness.


The next obvious question was if he was required to come at the morgue and identify the body but the authorities told Frank it’s not necessary because the identification process was already accomplished via a fingerprint device.


“When someone tells me that my son is dead and they have his fingerprints, I believe him”, revealed the grieving father.


That exact same day, Frank’s daughter went to her brother’s death scene and placed a flower wreath.


As is customary, the family of the 57-year-old organized a funeral which cost them about $20.000 and included 50 close friends and family members.


So far, there’s nothing unusual


However, the awkward part occurred 11 days after the funeral, when Frank received a phone call from a friend who told him his son is safe and sound.


“I told him to get him on the phone, and he said <<Hello, father>>”, added the Californian.


He later found out the forensic doctor had made a mistake and the identification process based on fingerprints encountered some ‘errors’.


Now, the man is planning to sue the officials who have put him through the terrible moments.

The official photos in which First Lady of France, Brigitte Macron, and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger say their final goodbyes became viral


The photos were labeled by most netizens as ‘awkward’, mostly because the vibe between Arnold and Macron’s wife was similar to the behavior of two people who feel attracted towards each other.



The 69-year-old actor attended an official visit to France to discuss with President Emmanuel Macron about the climate change and the Paris accord.



Schwarzenegger was welcomed at the Elysees Palace by Macron and after a tête-à-tête, he had the opportunity to meet Brigitte.



The former governor quickly became fascinated by the president’s wife and at his departure, Arnold planted a kiss on Brigitte’s cheek, who looked more than pleased.


Images of the two kissing became viral due to their facial expressions as they approached each other.



The former governor of California met on Friday with French President Emmanuel Macron to talk about climate change, saying that political guidelines are not important when it comes to this issue, writes AFP.



Former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, urged people at both ends of the political spectrum to join a “crusade” to save the planet.

At least nine people have died and 31 are missing in Colombia after a passenger ship sank


The vessel, with 170 tourists on board, was performing recreational rides on a reservoir lake.


Witnesses say the ship was overcrowded and at one point, it started to swing and take water.


The other boats could not do anything to prevent the massive sinking, but instead, they rescue the passengers.


Authorities initiated an investigation to determine what caused the accident: a malfunction, overcrowding or the aggressive currents.


“So far, nine are officially dead and 28 are missing”, stated the head of the Antioquia Department of Disaster Management, Margarita Moncada.


“El Almirante”, a four-bay ship, sank on Sunday afternoon in El Penol Dam of Guatape, about 68 kilometers from Medellin.


In a video that became viral on social media, it can be seen how the ship sank within minutes.


The incident occurred around 14.00 (19.00 GMT) on the overcrowded lake.


A woman who survived the shipwreck reported the two lower decks were “overcrowded” and on board, there were ‘many children’.


“We began to feel how the ship is overturning’, told the witness.

The reality-show star took part to an auction, under an anonymity pledge, that mostly included objects from Jackie O’s wardrobe, including a very expensive piece for which Kim paid up no less than $379,500.


According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian won the auction for a Cartier watch that Jackie Kennedy acquired just a few months before JFK was assassinated.


The clock bears the “23 February 1963” engraving and represented a gift from her brother-in-law, Prince Stanislaw Radziwill.


Apparently, the starting price for the exquisite piece was $120.000 but Kim wanted to make sure she will become the owner of the beautiful piece.


The irony is that we may not have the opportunity to see Kim wearing it, because after the robbery in Paris she prefers to go jewelry-free.

Like many popular robots (Pepper, Pebby), his personality and ability to connect are the attributes that make him ‘special’.


Kuri has a camera of 1080p that allows you to monitor the house and your pets while you’re away.


Moreover, it has a set of hi-tech speakers and he is also equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-fi.


By activating these two features you can listen to music or read a bedtime story to your children.

 Pamela Anderson will turn 50 in less than week


Despite the fact that she was labeled a ‘cougar’ by the international press, the famous Baywatch girl hooked up with a football player from the national team of France.


Last week, Pamela was spotted by the paparazzi while she was enjoying a romantic dinner in Nice with France’s defender Adil Rami.


Rami is 20 years younger than her but the former Playboy cover girl doesn’t seem to be bothered by the massive age gap.


Allegedly, the fresh couple would have met through a common friend and during the last two months, Rami commuted between US and France just to spend time with his new girl.


The rumors regarding their relationships are kind of incredible, considering that Pamela and founder of WikiLeaks Julian Assange admitted they share a ‘special relationship’.


Last week, Anderson made an appeal to all world leaders and asked them, in an open letter, to release the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, reported Sky News.


Former Baywatch star mentioned in her letter that there is no reason for Assange to be ‘captive in a small room’, considering that Sweden has dropped charges against him.


Assange lives at the London Equatorial Embassy for nearly five years, asking for asylum, fearing he will be extradited to Sweden and arrested for a series of accusations that he has denied with every single occasion.


Pamela Anderson’s letter includes another outrageous affirmation which pretty much suggests Theresa May is “the worst prime minister in history” and praises Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Spanish judges decided to replace the footballer’s 21-month sentence with a fine after he defrauded the Iberian fiscal authority with 4.1 million euros


A Spanish newspaper wrote the Barcelona star will have to pay a fine of 255.000 euros, while his father will become forced to pay up 180.000 euros.


The fine is actually quite modest, considering the athlete is winning the money in less than three days.


The last hearing of the Supreme Court was held on April 20th, and Wednesday, May 24th, the decision was made public.


Lionel and Jorge Messi have demanded the annulment of the original sentence in July 2016, while the prosecution demanded a 21-month sentence.


In addition, the Supreme Court confirmed the fine of 2.1 million euros that Messi must pay in the following months.


Jorge Messi also reduced his financial sanction from 1.6 million to 1.3 million.


Despite the massive scandal, Messi’s freedom was not jeopardized.


In Spain, less than 24 months’ imprisonment does not involve actual jail time.

North Korea’s first official response regarding Otto’s suspicious death

The Pyongyang authorities condemn the United States of “unleashing” a denigration campaign against North Korea, using Otto Warmbier’s death as the perfect excuse.


“The North Korean denigration campaign, which takes place in the United States, compels us to make a firm determination that humanitarianism and benevolence for the enemy are a taboo and we should further sharpen the blade of law”.


North Korea denies the hypothesis that during Otto’s detention, the American student had been subjected to torture.


“Our relevant agencies treat all criminals in accordance with domestic laws and international standards, and Warmbier was no exception”, said a spokesman for the National Council for Reconciliation, adding that Otto Warmbier was treated under “humanitarian conditions “.


The 22-year-old was buried in Ohio on Thursday, five days after he was sent home.


The other day, a North Korean daily described US President Donald Trump as ‘psychopath’


The article mentioned that Trump feels comfortable about the “difficult situation” because he was expecting for a reason to attack North Korea, diverting the attention from the domestic political crisis.


“South Korea must realize that pursuing this Trump psycho can only lead to disaster”, wrote the daily in the controversial editorial.


Donald Trump condemned the ‘brutality of the North Korean regime’ after the death of American student Otto Warmbier.


The young man was released from a North Korean prison and sent home a week ago.


Otto was in a coma and died five days after he was sent home in Cincinnati.


“Many terrible things have happened, but at least we brought him home to be with his parents,” the US president said immediately after the sad news was announced by Otto’s parents.

Samsung just launched a… flip phone

The strategy of launching certain gadget only in certain countries represents a frequent strategy for the world’s most known smartphone producers.


Apparently, these decisions are being motivated by complex market studies that confirm the reluctance of other countries to certain products.


Another reason could be the inability of a manufacturer to create enough devices to fulfill a significant demand coming from multiple countries on a short notice.


The new flip phone was already announced by Samsung in South Korea


The gadget illustrated in the images has a top-notch design, an attractive look and is available in two shades: black and pink.



Entitled by the South Korean giant Samsung Folder Flip 2, the gadget is very similar visually to the first flip phone launched by Samsung many years ago.


In fact, the product looks really good with the Motorola’s old RAZR and this detail may be enough to generate some impulse purchases.



 


The new Samsung Folder Flip 2 runs Android Nook, has a 3.8-inch display, and hides a combination of a 1.4 GHz quad core, 2GB of RAM and a 1950mAh battery.


There will be mobile versions with both LTE and 3G to operate on the networks of a large number of telephony operators.



The starting price is 230 euros.


We can only hope that Samsung will decide at some point to bring such terminals to the European market or even to the US.

Extremist and racist Facebook posts might ‘get you’ an unexpected visit from the police

No less than 36 homes have been raided by the German police after the residents posted hateful Facebook messages.


Germany’s legislation is extremely harsh when it comes to preventing extremist behaviors and the authorities apply the same principles when it comes to Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks.


As you’ve come to realize, the level of tolerance on Facebook is very low, and racism, free hatred, and extremism invade our News Feed every single day.


In an attempt to discourage such practices, the German police launched a campaign against those who choose to express an unmotivated anger towards others on social media.


The campaign was initiated yesterday and included several hometowns from Germany.


The addresses were targeted via Facebook extremist posts and, according to the police, this is just the beginning for these bullies.


According to the press release published by the Federal Criminal Police Office in Germany, most of the messages that led to the unexpected “visits” were related to politics or sexual orientation.


All the raids took place in one single day


In Germany, the legislation includes harsh punishments when it comes to illegal content and violence. But at the same time, governmental organizations in the region are trying to impose a law targeting racist posts on Facebook and Twitter.


As expected, Facebook is not very excited about the project, especially because they might become forced to apply fines.

“El Chapo” Guzman, the famous Mexican drug baron, could sue Netflix and Univision for broadcasting a TV series based on his life, stated one of Guzman’s lawyers on Thursday.


The former leader of the Sinaloa, who was imprisoned in the United States after his January extradition, believes he has been “defamed” by the TV series entitled “El Chapo”, in which he is being portrayed as “a heartless killer”, added attorney Jose Refugio Rodriguez.


“The events from the series are not real. This is a serious violation of Mr. Guzman’s presumption of innocence”, said Rodriguez.


This is not the first time when Guzman or one of his lawyers threaten to take legal action against the producers of the controversial TV series, based on the life of the world’s most notorious drug dealer.


Last year, another lawyer threatened to sue the American streaming platform and the Hispanic network for not paying the copyright.


The series, in which the drug baron “El Chapo” is being portrayed by Mexican actor Marco de la O, premiered in April.


“The series has caused him moral prejudice and really affected him, especially in the criminal proceedings ongoing in the United States, and for that reason, we decided to initiate a lawsuit”, said Jose Refugio Rodriguez.


“El Chapo” Guzman, 60, is being defended by two lawyers in the United States because the American justice has refused his Mexican legal team the right to secure his defense in court, fearing in particular that the lives of some witnesses could be put at great risk.

This is THE LIST of requirements Qatar MUST fulfill in order to end the Gulf diplomatic crisis

Four Arab states have sent a list of 13 requirements that Qatar must fulfill if they want to be let off the hook, writes BBC News.


Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Emirates and Bahrain have required Qatar to close the Al Jazeera headquarters.


In addition, in less than 10 days, Qatar was forced to suspend every single diplomatic and military tie with Iran and close a Turkish military base.


Meanwhile, as an attempt to smooth the water, US’ Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has urged the ‘obfuscated’ Arab countries to create a list of “acceptable and feasible” conditions for Qatar.


‘The’ list looks pretty much like this:


  1. Suspend the ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, a forbidden organization in the Arab states.

  2. Refuse to naturalize the citizens of the Arab States and expel those who are in Qatar now, so that Qatar ‘no longer interferes in the internal affairs of the states’.
