Alligator attack at Disney World: two-year-old boy's body recovered from lake

It should have been a dream vacation, a trip to the theme parks of Disney World to celebrate the start of the school summer break. But a family’s holiday at the so-called happiest place on Earth came to a horrifying end on Wednesday when the body of their two-year-old boy was recovered from a lake after he was snatched and dragged in by an alligator.

The father of the toddler fought with the animal, authorities said, but could do nothing except watch the alligator disappear back into the deep water with his son in its jaws.

On Wednesday afternoon, following an extensive 16-hour search and rescue effort by dozens of emergency personnel using sonar equipment, divers found and recovered the body of Lane Graves.

“There’s no question in my mind that the child was drowned by the alligator,” Orange County sheriff Jerry Demings had said at a 4.30pm press conference.

Shocking moment a knife-wielding man attacks a woman in broad daylight

A man was filmed attacking a woman with a knife in broad daylight, at a busy roadside in Datong City, Shanxi province, northern China. From the video shared, it looked like he was trying to kill her by trying to stab her several times with a large knife as she lay on the road.

The Maniac stayed on top of her and tried to cut her as she screamed for help. Trying to escape from his grasp, she courageously fought back, grabbing his wrist in a desperate bid to protect herself. 

 

What was disturbing about this video was that no one tried to help her, including the person filming it. It was a brave man who spotted them from the other side of the road that rushed over to her rescue and overpowered the frenzied street slasher from behind. Several male passersbys who were closer now joined to beat and tie him up. Local police have reportedly started an investigation into the crime. It's unclear if the man knew the woman...

SHEHU SANI: I NEVER MADE ANY STATEMENT AGAINST AMAECHI

 

My attention has been drawn by a close friend to a statement against Rt Hon Rotimi Ameachi,Minister of Transport, credited to me.

The statement is nothing but absolute falsehood and a complete fabrication of those who authored it.I have never made such a statement and there is no reason to.

My views on local,national or international issues are always posted and pasted on my blog or social media handle of which there is none of this.Those who want to fight "wars they need to fight" should have the courage to do so and not hide behind someone to fire their bullets.

I advice those mischief makers to stop using my name and desist from engaging in such defamatory and libelous statements against the Hon Minister.

Again,I'm restating that the statement is nothing but a thrash of falsehood.

Thank you

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.

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.

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.
