Newborn baby survives fall through train toilet

A baby delivered inside the lavatory of an Indian train slipped through the toilet bowl to fall on rail tracks but survived.

Police officer, Anil Sirohi said on Wednesday in New Delhi that a pregnant woman had labour pains while travelling on Monday on the train in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh on Monday.

He said that the 23-year-old went to the toilet and delivered a baby girl that slipped out and onto the tracks from the train.

“Passengers on the train heard her cries for help and pulled the emergency chain to bring the train to a halt.

“Moments later they ran toward the baby and found it was alive,’’ he said.

The officer said that the railway police moved both mother and child to a nearby hospital.
Railway official, Chandra Mohan-Jindal, said it was a miracle that the newborn girl survived after falling on concrete boulders of the track from such a height.

“Fortunately the train was not at a great speed as it had just begun its journey from the railway station.

Mohan-Jindal said that it was the second such incident in India this year.

Woman was mutilated and murdered by ISIS for breastfeeding her baby in public

A woman has been brutally murdered by ISIS's female police for breastfeeding her child in public, according to witness reports.

The woman had been breastfeeding her son under the cover of her burqa, in Raqqa, northern Syria when she was spotted by ISIS's feared women police force; the al-Khansaa Brigade.

Despite shielding herself and the child from public view under her full-veil burqa, the Al-Khansaa Brigade ruled she had been 'violating public decency'.


'An ISIS policewoman took the baby, gave it to another woman, and then killed the mother,' Aisha, a former Raqqa resident now living Turkey, told the Sunday Times.

The mother was reportedly mutilated before she was murdered, according to ISIS-linked social media accounts, where it was proclaimed the victim had 'violated public decency'

Nigerian gas explosion as people queued at the...

Up to 100 people killed after Nigerian gas plant exploded in ‘huge inferno’ as people queued for fuel on Christmas Eve

The fireball destroyed nearby buildings and left burned corpses littering the plant in Nnewi, according to witnesses.

The blaze, which stated at 11am local time on Thursday, consumed victims who had been waiting in line to collect crude oil from the Inter Corp Oil Limited gas plant – a subsidiary of Nigerian conglomerate Chicason Group.

A witness, Emeka Peters, said the fire broke out when a tanker truck that had finished discharging fresh gas at the plant left without waiting to observe the prescribed cooling time.

‘The fire exploded like a bomb, and the whole gas station went up in thick, black smoke amidst an explosion from cooking gas cylinders,’ he said.

‘Many people were killed, and most of them were those that had been in the station queuing all day to get their cylinders refilled.’

The service, on Sunday, was soon criticised on social media with some calling it 'sinful' and 'disgraceful'.

Ulrike Garve, a vicar in training, opened the Protestant service with the words 'The wait is over - the Force has awakened!'

A screen set up next to the altar showed a clip from a Star Wars movie in which Luke Skywalker fights off Darth Vader and declares to The Emperor that he will never turn to the Dark Side.

A man dressed as Jawa character arrives for the service. Local priests used the opportunity to point out parallels between the movie and Christianitywhile using the original film's score as organ accompaniment

U.S. Airstrike Killed Iraqis by Accident, Officials Say

ABOARD THE U.S.S. KEARSARGE — An airstrike that mistakenly killed Iraqi troops on Friday was carried out by an American plane, United States officials said on Saturday.

The episode poses a fresh challenge to the Obama administration’s efforts to expand cooperation with the Iraqis in fighting the Islamic State, and Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter was quick to call the Iraqi prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, to express his condolences and invite Iraq to participate in an investigation.

China slams US over 'provocative' use of B-52 bombers in the South China Sea

Two US B-52 bombers have flown close to islands in the flashpoint South China Sea this month in a "serious military provocation", Beijing said, as tensions simmer in the disputed waterway.

China insists it has sovereignty over virtually all of the resource-rich sea, conflicting with the various claims of several neighbouring nations, and US activity in the area has provoked Beijing's ire several times in recent months.

"In the morning of 10 December, two US B-52 bombers entered air space over the Chinese Nansha islands [Spratly Islands] and nearby areas without authorisation," Beijing's defence ministry said.

"This behaviour is a serious military provocation which complicates the general situation in the South China Sea, [contributing] to the militarisation of the region."

Miss Spain gets promotion: Miss World

SANYA, China — Spain’s Mireia Lalaguna Royo was named the winner of the Miss World 2015 competition Saturday night in the southern Chinese island resort of Sanya, an event dogged by controversy over China’s refusal to allow Canada’s entrant to attend.
Sofia Nikitchuk of Russia was the runner-up and Indonesia’s Maria Harfanti took third place in the final following a lengthy competition featuring 114 women.
Each had won the right to represent their country in a series of local and regional competitions.
The victory marked the first-ever win for a Spanish contestant.
Lalaguna is a 23-year-old model from Barcelona with a degree in pharmacology who plans to pursue a master’s degree in nutrition. She placed first in the competition’s top model contest and appeared to impress the judges with her public speaking.
Not present was Miss Canada, Chinese-born Anastasia Lin, who had been prevented from boarding her connecting flight to Sanya from Hong Kong last month after China refused her a visa.
Lin is an outspoken critic of Chinese religious policy and a follower of the Falun Gong meditation practice, which was outlawed by China in 1999.
She said that after she won the Canadian title, Chinese security agents visited her father, who still lives in China, in an apparent attempt to intimidate her into silence.
China has hosted the competition seven times, starting in 2003, part of its attempts to project a more modern, outgoing image. However, the controversy over Lin’s attendance illustrates the authoritarian communist government’s determination to do so on its own terms, regardless of the cost to the country’s reputation.
Neither Beijing nor the London-based Miss World Organization has commented on the controversy.
It was the second consecutive year that outside events intruded on the competition. Last year’s contest in London was marred by the murder the month before of Miss Honduras and her sister in that country.
The first Miss World contest was held 64 years ago in Britain.
