Did rock-throwing teenage girl's 'beating' by police spark London riots? Pictures that show how Tottenham turned into a war zone

Witnesses said that a peaceful vigil for Mark Duggan (pictured, left), who was shot dead by police on Thursday, turned ugly after a 16-year-old was 'attacked' by a number of officers. Mr Duggan's family today appealed for calm after a night in which vehicles were burnt to ashes and many buildings wrecked. Early tonight, though, neighbouring Enfield was the scene of a small scale outbreak of violence erupted in what appears to be copycat rioting.

164 Escape Death in Caribbean Airline Crash

A jet carrying 163 people broke in half as it crash-landed in the South American country of Guyana on July 30th. Incredibly, nobody was killed and only a few passengers were injured after the Caribbean Airlines Boeing 737-800 from New York overshot the runway at Georgetown’s Cheddi Jagan airport in wet weather...

It slid through a chain-link fence and barely missed a 200-foot ravine. Had it fallen into the ravine it would have almost certainly killed crew and passengers. The crash happened just after midnight local time as it arrived from the Caribbean island of Trinidad, where it had made a stop before continuing its flight to Georgetown. Caribbean Airlines said it did not know the cause of the accident, which happened during good visibility and light rain. Investigators from the U.S. and Guyana were sent to retrieve the black box. - NY Times

Female babysitter, 20, 'got drunk and had sex with 14-year-old she was hired to look after'

A female babysitter had sex with a 14-year-old she was hired to look after having plied him with alcohol, it has been reported. Loni Bouchard, from Clinton, Connecticut, was taken into custody after the young boy's family found out about the alleged affair. The 20-year-old now faces charges that she sexually assaulted the boy last month after illegally buying him alcohol. Authorities said they obtained a warrant after a complaint from a family member of the teenager. She then turned herself in to Southington police on Friday morning. Sergeant Lowell DePalma said the victim knew the babysitter before the alleged assault took place.

Why nipples stimulate the same area of the female brain as genitals do

When women’s nipples are stimulated the sensation travels to the same part of the brain as when their genitals are aroused, a study has found. Brain scans of women who made themselves aroused showed that the nipples hit the same spot as the vagina and clitoris.

Regardless of where the stimulation occurred on their body, the same area at the top of the brain ‘lit up’, the images show. The research confirms for the first time what many women have experienced themselves, even if men don’t believe it - that their nipples can be an erogenous zone too.

A team from Rutgers University in the U.S. asked 11 non-pregnant women between 23 and 56 to stimulate themselves while they lay inside a brain scanner.

Banky W released a statement via twitter 'As far as the EME tour goes… it hurts me to say we tried our very best to pull it off. We did everything we were supposed to. Twice.

We worked hard and spent a sh*t load of money in the process… but it wasn't under our control. In anycase, we're STILL working on resolving said issues. And the minute they are, we'll launch a couple of make up dates immediately. I want to give a shoutout to all the fans who have been so patient with us. I promise, we're trying our very best.

If you bought tickets already, ur entitled to a full refund. Trust me we'd rather be rocking with u than losing money, so pls understand. And lastly, we will resolve these issues we're having. And the minute we do, we'll put together a couple of make up dates. I'll be the first to let you know when that's happening, I promise'. Thank you, I'm very very sorry. But I promise we'll make it up. Stick with us we'll make this work.'

How 6 people died after eba meal

After what was supposed to have been a delicious family supper, eaten amidst hearty jokes and giggles, six members of the Umunna family in Uli, Anambra State, were found dead. Those that were found dead after the unfortunate meal were Mrs Caroline Umunna, Madam Lucy Obodoeke, Miss Modesta Umunna, Miss Uchenna Umunna, Master Chisom Okorie and Ozioma, their house maid. For Mr Charles Umunna, the head of the family, who is still in shock, penultimate Thursday night will remain green in his memory as a bitter reminder of the cruelty fate brought him. Umunna, a staff of Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), Awka, whose wife, Caroline Umunna; two daughters, Uchenna, a first year student of Public Administration, Anambra State University and her sister who just finished School Certificate Examination and UTME; his in-law, Mrs. Lucy Obodoeke, who came for medical treatment; cousin, Chisom Okorie; and maid, Miss Ozioma Marcel; who joined the family three weeks earlier, were found mysteriously dead on Friday, it is a pathetic situation he is trying hard to comprehend. Possibly because of their trauma and excruciating grief, Umunna and his remaining three children two boys and one girl, have relocated to the house of the Catholic Priest of St. Gregory's Catho-lic Church, Eziama Uli, Rev. Fr. Joel Ibebuike. When the Nigerian Tribune encountered him in the sleepy village, Umunna, who was still enveloped in grief, was shedding tears, especially when he saw the pictures of his wife and children. According to Umunna, who responded to questions in an emotion-soaked voice, it was on Friday evening that his wife's cousin called him that she got to their house and there was no sign of any soul in the house. Then he asked the girl to check their shop, the girl said she had checked the shop but didn't find anybody there. Umunna said the girl told him that her inquiry revealed that the neighbours had not seen any member of the family throughout that day. He said he became agitated and called his wife. However, though the wife's hand-set was ringing, no one picked it. He became furious and was querying why his wife would always fail to pick her call. It was at that juncture, that he called his landlord to check his family members, and the landlord called back to tell him that the door of his house seemed to be locked from inside. The landlord's son called again to inform him that it appeared that there was no one inside his house. This, he said, was about 9p.m and it was raining heavily in Awka, so there was no way he could return that night. The following morning, being Saturday, he went to the village with his two other children, who were on holiday with him in Awka. He had already called his first son, Desmond, who is a Computer Science student at the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, to join him at home. Before he could reach home, the police had forced the door open and packed the six corpses into an ambulance for the purpose of depositing them in a mortuary. A demoralised Umunna disclosed that for the past 25 years, his family had lived in Eziama Uli, as he moved from one state to another on transfer in the course of his work, although he packed to the present place three months earlier. He also said that despite having lived long in that community, they had never had any misunderstanding with any member of the community. In fact the late wife was a teacher in Eziama Uli Community Primary School, and that accounted for his decision for the family to stay in that community. He said his wife had finished her Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) programme and was about to finish her Bachelor's degree in Education before the unfortunate incident. Three of Umunna's children are already in the higher institution, two at Anambra State University, Uli and one at the Federal Polytechnic, Oko. Umunna, who is a native of Eziama-Ubulu in Oru West Local Government Area of Imo State, could not say what could be responsible for this tragedy, whether it was food poisoning or the handiwork of enemies. The Anambra State Police Command and the Consumer Protection Council (CPC) have commenced investigations into the matter. The police had taken the leftover of the garri meal, believed to have been eaten by the family the previous night. The CPC, through its Zonal Director, South-East, Enugu, Mr. Sam Tamuno, had visited the family and taken sample of the food they ate on the fateful night to analyze its content. Tamuno, who signed the condolence register, was said to have promised to conduct investigation into the substances they ate, while the police are conducting autopsy on the corpses. Umunna said that he had handed over everything to God, but his greatest consolation would be to get to the root of the cause of the death of his family members who he vowed would not die un-avenged. Desmond, the first son of Mrs Caroline Umunna, who was battling to control his emotions as he was the only one consoling the father and siblings, lamented that he never knew he was going to lose his beloved ones in one instance and in that circumstance. He added that he had ominous signs that things were not well in the family but did not know the extent when his father called him in the early hours of Saturday to come home immediately. When he came home that Saturday, he could not believe what greeted his sight as his mother with whom he had a hearty telephone chat two days before, his aunt, two siblings and their house help were all stuffed in a waiting ambulance to be taken to the morgue. According to him, the police had to force the door open to take the corpses and the food they ate the previous night. He cried that currently the family was shattered and in need of urgent help, “we are in deep pain and the current situation is so financially tasking, we cannot cope alone. It is my passionate appeal that the state government comes to our aid at this time of our grief.” Some villagers, who spoke with the Nigerian Tribune on condition of anonymity, described the Umunna family as a humble and peace-loving family and wondered what could have been responsible for their unusual demise.

Gerrard to miss start of season

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is expected to be out until September because of a groin problem. Gerrard, 31, began a course of antibiotic treatment for an infection on Saturday and is expected to remain in hospital for several days. Groin surgery ended Gerrard's season in March but he had expected to be back for the start of the new campaign. The midfielder could also miss England's two Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Wales. Steven Gerrard Premier League appearances Continue reading the main story * 2010-11 - 21 of 38 (4 goals) * 2009-10 - 33 (9) * 2008-09 - 31 (16) * 2008-07 - 34 (11) * 2007-08 - 36 (7)

Gerrard missed his side's pre-season tour of Asia this month in order to try to regain full fitness for the start of the new season on 13 August, when Liverpool play Sunderland at Anfield. He will also miss Premier League fixtures against Arsenal and Bolton, with the trip to Stoke on 10 September a likely target date for his return. The England midfielder was already set to miss the international friendly with the Netherlands on 10 August but will now also be a doubt for the qualifiers away to Bulgaria on 2 September and at home to Wales four days later. Gerrard has been plagued by the problem for several years now and it restricted his effectiveness in the last campaign, when he played only 21 of 38 Premier League matches.

Islamist militia 'shot Libya rebel Abdel Fattah Younes'

An Islamist militia was behind the killing of Libyan rebel commander Gen Abdel Fattah Younes, who was shot dead on Thursday, a rebel minister has said.

Ali Tarhouni said Gen Younes was killed by members of the Obaida Ibn Jarrah Brigade, a group linked to the rebels. Gen Younes defected to the rebels in February after serving in the Libyan leadership since the 1969 coup which brought Col Muammar Gaddafi to power. Meanwhile Nato says it bombed Libyan state TV transmitters overnight. The Libyan Broadcasting Authority said three of its technicians were killed and 15 other people injured in the attack in the capital, Tripoli. The alliance said it had disabled three satellite transmission dishes through a "precision air strike". It said the operation was intended to stop "inflammatory broadcasts" by Col Gaddafi's government.

Brothers attack pilot after he boots them off plane

A pair of thuggish brothers brutally attacked an American Airlines pilot after he kicked one of them off a plane for being passed out drunk.

Jonathan and Luis Baez, both of Las Piedras, Puerto Rico, were arrested at Miami International airport on Wednesday night July27, for the assault, which left the pilot bruised and bloodied and delayed the San Francisco bound flight more than two hours. The scuffle started after a flight attendant noticed that Jonathan Baez, 27, had passed out without buckling his seat belt as the plane pulled away from the gate. The attendant tried to wake Baez, but he was groggy and appeared plastered on booze or high on drugs. After the attendant told the crew that Baez wouldn't buckle up, the pilot stopped taxiing and turned around, cops said. When Baez finally came to, the attendant told him he had to get off the plane. Luis Baez, 29, decided to follow his brother, and the two screamed obscenities at the pilot. "When you fly to San Juan, I will have you killed," one of the goons shouted, according to police. Crew members escorted the brothers off the plane, but Jonathan ran back, punched the pilot in the face and then punched a female flight attendant who tried to step in. Luis then joined in the vicious beatdown, and the two hoodlums chased the pilot into the terminal, cops said. Eventually, some passengers and crew members tackled the brothers and held them down until police arrived. The Miami-based pilot was cut up, bruised and shaken after the attack, police said. Another pilot showed up, and the 176 passengers and six crew members took off for San Francisco at around 11:30 p.m., two hours after the scheduled take off. Jonathan and Luis Baez were held at Miami-Dade county jail on $9,000 bond and $12,500 bond on assault and battery charges. Source: NYDaily News
