PARIS — Drinking very hot beverages "probably" causes cancer of the oesophagus, the United Nation’s cancer agency said on Wednesday (June 15), while lifting suspicion from coffee if consumed at "normal
serving temperatures".
"These results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of oesophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible," said Dr Christopher Wild, director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

The agency reviewed more than 1,000 scientific studies on the possible cancer-causing properties of coffee and the popular South American herbal infusion mate.

Orlando shooting victims give terrifying accounts of massacre at gay club that left 49 dead

Injured survivors of Sunday morning's massacre at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida, told their stories at a press conference from Orlando Regional Medical Center on Tuesday.

Angel Colon, who was shot three times - in his leg, hand, and hip - told reporters that he survived the shooting "by the grace of God."

By Colon's recollection, the gunman, who has since been identified as 29-year-old Omar Mateen, opened fire on the club's dance floor before moving toward the bathrooms.

"All I could hear were gunshots," said Colon, who was shot once in the leg when the gunman first started shooting before falling to the ground.

His leg was shattered when clubgoers trampled over him while trying to escape the shooter.

Man headed to LA gay-pride parade with guns and explosives in his car: 'I wish I could kill a lot of people'

An Indiana man was charged Tuesday with three felony weapons violations after authorities say they found three assault rifles and explosive chemicals in his car before a major Los Angeles gay pride parade.

James Wesley Howell, 20, made his first appearance in Los Angeles County Superior Court, where a lawyer entered not guilty pleas on his behalf to charges of possessing an assault weapon, possessing a destructive device on a public street, and importing or manufacturing a large magazine.

He also was charged with a misdemeanor count of possessing a loaded firearm in a vehicle.

A judge set bail at $2 million, saying Howell poses "a significant public safety danger."

A federal investigation of Howell was ongoing, said Laura Eimiller, an FBI spokeswoman in Los Angeles.

Howell was arrested Sunday in Santa Monica, when police say the weapons and explosives were found in a car he apparently drove from Indiana. Howell told police he was headed to a gay pride event in West Hollywood that attracts hundreds of thousands of people.

HILLARY SOARS TO GIGANTIC LEAD

Hillary Clinton took a commanding lead over Donald Trump in a new national poll on Tuesday.

A new Bloomberg Politics poll, conducted by notable pollster Ann Selzer, showed Clinton with a 12-point lead over her Republican rival, garnering 49% support to Trump's 37% support.

The poll surveyed 1,000 voters over three days beginning on June 10, and contained a margin of error of 3.6%.

Though Clinton's lead comes just weeks after polls showed that the two presumptive nominees are running virtually tied in hypothetical general-election matchups, it didn't come as a complete shock to some observers.

After contentious primaries, candidates typically receive a bump in their support in polls after securing their party's nomination. Trump experienced a boost in his support among Republicans after his Republican rivals dropped out following the Indiana primary.

My night with the Russian ultras: "We respect the English tradition of hooliganism, but we no longer fear them"

Russia

I met him at a bar in the southeast of Moscow.

Vadim was a founder of Flint's Crew, one of Moscow's most infamous football hooligan firms — or ultras as they now prefer to be called — and I had expected him to be shaven-headed and semi-articulate.

My expectations, though, were confounded. Long-haired and about 40 years old, he wasn't a caricature of those who attacked England supporters inside the Stade Vélodrome in Marseilles on Saturday.

Yet he was as passionate and informed about football hooliganism as some people are about wine or art.

"Strange as it may seem, the first football hooligans in Russia were hippies," Vadim told me over the first of several beers.

"It was in the early 1970s, and anything that guys could get their hands on from the West became immediately fashionable.
