Woman in stunning, viral Baton Rouge protest photo is nurse and mom

A woman among more than a hundred people arrested while protesting police brutality in Baton Rouge, La., was the epicenter of calm juxtaposed with two riot gear-clad cops in a stunning photograph taken Saturday.

Fans of new smartphone game Pokémon Go take over Central Park to catch hidden creatures

Poké-mania has taken over the city, the nation — and, perhaps soon, planet Earth!

Obsessed fans of the new smartphone game Pokémon Go are flooding city landmarks by the dozens, chasing and catching the virtual creatures hidden throughout Central Park, Union Square Park and other spaces.

The wildly popular free “augmented-reality” game requires fans to move around in real life using their phones’ cameras and GPS to hunt for Pokémon that appear on their screens. The game encourages players to interact and explore their surroundings. It has also caused Nintendo’s stock to surge — 25% percent on Monday.

Near E. 66th St. in Central Park, teenagers from the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens walked around in groups, hunting for the creatures that tended to lurk near statues of the author Walter Scott, the legendary sled dog Balto and a memorial to the 107th Infantry in World War I.

Teresa May is a glamour model who appeared in Smack My Bitch Up - not the new Prime Minister

Teresa and Theresa May - know the difference

Theresa May will be our new Prime Minister - but not everyone has figured out how to spell her name just yet.

Teresa May has been trending on Twitter since Andrea Leadsom announced she was quitting the Tory leadership battle.

#Leadsom, Gove and Eagle have all made it onto Twitter's trending list, as the volumes of tweets about Mrs Leadsom's resignation statement, Michael Gove's backing of Mrs May and Angela Eagle officially launching her Labour leadership bid circulated.

But there is no sign of Theresa May spelled with an "h", the woman who will take over from David Cameron imminently and is the daughter of a vicar.

Instead a very different woman is trending - Teresa May: glamour model, soft porn actress and veteran of the Prodigy's video for Smack My Bitch Up.

Shameless Jamie Forbes, 38, added six further offences to his previous list of 296 crimes - admitting burglary, shop theft and breaches of previous court orders.

Grimsby Crown Court heard that after being stopped by a security guard at an Asda he boasted: "I can get a grand a week out of you lot."

Sentencing Forbes to 21 months in jail, Recorder Simon Jackson QC said: "You are one of the most persistent offenders that has appeared recently at this court."

Prosecutor Claire Holmes told the court how Forbes went into the Asda superstore in Holles Street, Grimsby, on May 21, breaching a previous antisocial behaviour order imposed in 2014 for three years.

Mother jumps on car bonnet as thief drives off with her kids inside

A man who stole a car in San Bernardino, Calif., late Sunday night with two small children in the back seat was followed and ultimately arrested because of the vigilance of three good Samaritans, police said.
San Bernardino police Lt. Rich Lawhead said, at around 11:30pm late Sunday night, a mother who had her 2 young children strapped in their car seats in the back of the vehicle, ran into a convenience store to buy them some drinks. The woman left her car running, the air conditioner on and parked directly in front of the market window so she could see the car from inside the store.

Unknown to her, a local transient, 21 year old Steven Young, was watching her from outside. As soon as the mother took her eyes off the car for a minute, Young jumped into the vehicle and began to reverse the car. The mother who was leaving the store just as the gray sedan was backing up, jumped on the bonnet of the car to try and stop the driver from fleeing with her children in it.

Young allegedly swerved left and right until the mother was shaken off, then he sped off with the car with the children in it, police said.

S. African twins plotted to blow up US embassy: police

Johannesburg (AFP) - Two South African brothers arrested on terrorism charges were plotting to blow up the US embassy in Pretoria and Jewish institutions, and planned to join the so-called Islamic State, police said Monday.

The 23-year-old twins, Brandon-Lee and Tony-Lee Thulsie, appeared briefly in a Johannesburg magistrate court after being arrested at the weekend.

"It is alleged that they wanted to bomb the US embassy and Jewish facilities in the country," Hangwani Mulaudzi, spokesman for South Africa's elite police, the Hawks, told AFP.

The United States and Britain warned last month of possible imminent "terrorist" attacks by Islamic extremists in South Africa's major cities.

The two men, who are accused of planning to join the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria, will remain in custody and return to court on July 19 to allow for further investigation.
