Journalists and doctors at the scene told the BBC government officials had intervened in official state … Continue reading New video from an Idaho storage company has raised questions about the disappearance of two missing children

Explosive new documents show the US government knew a weather map used by Donald Trump was doctored

Chief Editor

Explosive new documents show the US government knew a weather map used by Donald Trump was doctored, despite publicly defending the president’s false claims about a hurricane striking Alabama. In September last year, Mr Trump repeatedly claimed wrongly that Alabama would “most likely” be struck by Hurricane Dorian, a category five storm which devastated the Bahamas. The group, all believed to be aged under 12, were riding their bikes to get ice cream when a four-wheel-drive is alleged to have ploughed into them. Four of the children died at the scene, and the fifth, a 10-year-old-boy, is in hospital with … Continue reading Explosive new documents show the US government knew a weather map used by Donald Trump was doctored

Chief Editor

Passengers who were in lockdown on a cruise ship in the Italian city of Civitavecchia have now been allowed to leave after confirmation that two people on board do not have coronavirus.  The Costa Smeralda ship – carrying 7,000 people including some Britons – had been kept on the ship since Thursday morning after a 54-year-old Chinese woman from Macau came down with flu-like symptoms the previous night. A British man has chosen not to board the evacuation flight from Wuhan because the Foreign Office could not confirm whether his four-year-old daughter, a Chinese national, would be allowed to join … Continue reading Passengers who were in lockdown on a cruise ship in the Italian city of Civitavecchia have now been allowed to leave

A top CIA chief who orchestrated the assassination of an Iranian general was killed when a US military plane crashed in Taliban territory in Afghanistan

Chief Editor

A top CIA chief who orchestrated the assassination of an Iranian general was killed when a US military plane crashed in Taliban territory in Afghanistan, Tehran has claimed. The US has not yet commented on reports that Michael D’Andrea, who was involved in the hunt for Osama bin Laden and is nicknamed the “Dark Prince”, was on board the jet and among those killed. The plan is not expected to hold out any immediate prospect of a Palestinian state. It envisages the Palestinian Authority forgoing any right to military power and recognising Israel as a Jewish state. It is not … Continue reading A top CIA chief who orchestrated the assassination of an Iranian general was killed when a US military plane crashed in Taliban territory in Afghanistan

As bombs fell near the US embassy in Baghdad, the US president was labelled a “monster” and accused of plotting war crimes after promising swift retribution at high level targets “important to Iranian culture”. Mourners crowded around military personnel unloading Soleimani’s casket covered with an Iranian flag from a plane at Ahvaz International Airport in Tehran. A tide of mourners chanted furiously as his coffin was driven through tens of thousands … Continue reading Donald Trump has prompted further condemnation after he threatened to strike 52 targets

A girl who made headlines around the world when she survived almost two weeks alone in the Siberian wilderness has won a Russian children’s beauty contest

Chief Editor

A girl who made headlines around the world when she survived almost two weeks alone in the Siberian wilderness has won a Russian children’s beauty contest. Karina Chikitova, who clung on to her loyal puppy, fought to stay alive in a forest full of brown bears and wolves. Homes nearby were a mixture of restored shops and houses and burnt-out shells, but the means by which this Christian town, on the Nineveh Plain east of Mosul, was rebuilding itself, three years after it was smashed by Islamic State, were also clearly on show. A USAid lorry was parked opposite the … Continue reading A girl who made headlines around the world when she survived almost two weeks alone in the Siberian wilderness has won a Russian children’s beauty contest
