Globe-trotting pollutants increase chances of developing some malignant growths four times higher than predicted

Invisible particles in the air we breathe may elevate the risk of dementia by 92 per cent, experts have warned. Toxic fumes from cars and power plants are infiltrating brain cells, causing them to swell in response. This leaves the brain at risk of succumbing to the devastating condition, according to a new study.

Experts believe that dangerous levels of pollution in cities could actually be responsible for a fifth of global dementia cases. And scientists also discovered the risk was greater for women – especially if they possess a well-known “dementia gene”.

Researchers from the University of Southern California, United States (U.S.), analysed data of 3,647 women between 65 to 79 who didn’t have dementia.

“Microscopic particles generated by fossil fuels get into our body directly through the nose into the brain,” said study co-author Professor Caleb Finch.

The chairman of the city's road in Dubai and Transport Authority , Mattar Al Tayer has revealed that Dubai will have autonomous taxi drones zipping around its skyline this summer. Speaking at the recent World Government Summit, a gathering of tech and government leaders at Dubai, he said:

'I am glad to inform you that hopefully, we will be able to have these drones available, starting July 2017.'

The country which plans that a quarter of all journeys in the city will be autonomous by 2030, will have people sit inside the drones without fearing for their lives.

According to Huffington Post, the flying taxis manufactured by Chinese drone-making firm EHang can carry a person weighing up to 100 kilograms (about 220 pounds) along with a small suitcase.

Baby needs N3.5m for open heart surgery

An eight-month-old baby, Mubarak Anuoluwapo Jayesimi, has been diagnosed with symptomatic congenital heart disease.

He requires N3.5 million to undergo an open heart surgery in India. All was well and rosy for Mubarak, who was born on May 25, 2016.

However, that changed two weeks after when his mother, Mrs. Monsurat Jolayemi, became disturbed about his breathing pattern. She said: “After two weeks, I noticed that he was breathing quite fast.

The breathing was not normal, it was too fast. So we took him to the nearest hospital to us in Ikorodu, Dele Hospital.”

Dele Hospital was the beginning of the journey for Mubarak’s parents. There, the doctors explained that their child’s condition was beyond their capacity.

Thus, they were referred to the General Hospital at Ikorodu. At the General Hospital, they were told there was no space and were further referred to Massy Children Hospital, Lagos Island. It was at Massy Children Hospital that they were told that baby Mubarak has a hole in his heart.

Five people have died after a light plane crashed into a shopping centre in Melbourne, Australia.

The charter flight appeared to have had a “catastrophic engine failure” shortly after taking off from the small Essendon Airport, said Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Stephen Leane.

Everyone on board is believed dead.

“At this stage the advice we have is there are no fatalities other than on the aircraft itself,” said the commissioner.

“Looking at the fireball, it is incredibly lucky that no-one was at the back of those stores or in the car park of the stores, that no one was even hurt.”

The shopping centre was not open to the public at the time.

“Today is a desperately sad day,” Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said.

Bhavnalo Kant, 20, was impaled by a spiked railing after he hit a speed bump while riding his motorbike, lost control and was thrown into the air. The gruesome accident which happened near Raja Ki Mandi railway station Agra, India, saw the biker landing on a spiked railing which punctured his chin from beneath and came out through his mouth.
Kant's passenger landed on the road when the bike crashed and seeing what had happened to Kant, he ran to the police station to alert the police.

Here are all the controversial things the Trump administration has done so far

Over the last several weeks, the Trump administration has endured a hurricane of controversy.

Key resignations, challenges in filling his Cabinet, and other crucial federal positions, fights with the press, US intelligence agencies, and his critics have all culminated thus far in a tumultuous first month in office for President Donald Trump.

Inside the eye of this hurricane, however, Trump could soon face critical issues that have yet to fully materialize — like next week's planned replacement of his rejected immigration executive order that is likely to be challenged in courts throughout the country.

Trump was named in 42 federal lawsuits in his first 11 days as commander-in-chief, CNN reported earlier this month. Those lawsuits focus mostly on the president's original travel ban and accusations of conflicts of interest, but other questions surrounding the legality of some of the White House's statements and actions may follow.

In a new interview with Ovo Sound Radio, rapper, Drake, has spilled out on his beef with Meek Mill, his 'reunion' with Nicki Minaj and issues with Kanye West and Jay-Z. In the long interview, Drake said he'll never be friends again with Meek Mill and that he always writes majority of his own songs.

He also addressed Kanye West's rants about him ditching Jay-z's Tidal to work with Apple's Itunes.

“Meek Mill at the time, due to some issue with Nicki [Minaj] or whatever it was, decided to create a narrative that I don’t write my own music because that was what was convenient for him at the time,” Drake told DJ Semtex on Ovo Radio..

Four-year-old Safia Adan lies in Baidoa Regional Hospital in southern Somalia with a tube through her nose. She is suffering from severe malnutrition and dehydration. At her side her worried grandmother looks up to explain that Safia first became sick after drinking water from the local well.

"The water had changed colour but we still drank it," says her grandmother. "We stopped after Safia became sick. We brought her to the city because we knew you get could get good treatment here."

They were lucky – seven people from their village are now confirmed dead and the hospital has seen a surge in children suffering from water-borne diseases such as cholera and diarrhoea.

They are the latest victims of the on-going drought ravaging Somalia that has left more than six million people, half the country’s population, facing food shortages and has seen water supplies become infected with bacteria rendering them undrinkable.

Arsenal suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat at Bayern Munich last week upping the pressure from fans of the club, for manager, Arsene Wenger to retire after over 20 years at the club.

But Wenger despite growing calls from top sports analysts and stakeholders to retire, says he doesn't feel like retiring as he is only 67 and Man U manager, Sir Alex Ferguson retired at the age of 71, a statement that'll surely rile Arsenal fans.

"Ferguson has some other interests in life and he was older [when he retired] than I am today," Wenger told reporters.

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn saw Trump's plan to lift sanctions on Russia before he resigned.
Plan was drafted by Trump Organization Michel Cohen and Felix Sater, a Russian-American property developer.
Cohen was named last month in the unverified Russia-Trump dossier compiled by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele as part of the "ongoing secret liaison relationship between the New York tycoon’s campaign and the Russian leadership.”
Pro-Russia Ukrainian lawmaker Andrii V. Artemenko was also involved.

Trump Organization lawyer Michel Cohen hand-delivered a "peace" plan for Russia and Ukraine to former national security adviser Michael Flynn before Flynn was asked to resign, the New York Times reported on Sunday.

The plan, which involved lifting sanctions on Russia, was drafted by Cohen — a close confidante of President Donald Trump who has served as his organization's special counsel since 2007 — and Felix Sater, a Russian-American real estate developer who has helped the Trump Organization scout deals in Russia.

Sater, a businessman formerly linked with the Mafia who has boasted of his "relationship with Trump," told the Washington Post last May that he "handled all of the negotiations" for the Trump Organization's dealings in Russia in the mid-2000's.

'Harry Potter' actress Scarlett Byrne poses nude for Playboy

Scarlett Byrne played Pansy Parkinson in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

Get ready to ogle a muggle.

“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” starlet Scarlett Byrne is baring it all in Playboy’s newest nude issue.

The 26-year-old, who played Pansy Parkinson in the wizarding world, showed off her sexier side on set by exposing her backside wearing nothing but a silk robe draped around her waist.

Byrne, who got engaged to Hugh Hefner’s youngest son Cooper back in 2015, is the first model to make her way onto the pages of the magazine since their decision to incorporate nudity again.

“I'm very proud to be a part of the March/April issue of Playboy. I penned a short essay along with my pictorial titled, 'The Feminist Mystique,'” Byrne announced to her social media page.

Seth Rogen (l.) messaged Donald Trump Jr. (r.) on Twitter after he noticed he was a follower.

Seth Rogen thinks having Donald Trump as President is super bad.

The actor, who has been vocal on social media about his dislike of POTUS, messaged his son, Donald Trump Jr., on Twitter asking him to tell his father to resign.

Rogen first noticed Trump Jr. followed him on Twitter and decided to take aim directly at him.

The “Knocked Up” star also sent a message in case he missed his tweet.

Rogen’s message said since Trump is trying to discredit the press and appears to be working with Russia, maybe it’s time Trump goes to back to working on TV instead. He shared the message on Twitter and said “let’s see if this works.”

The 34-year-old hopes Trump Jr. goes through with his request before Rogen’s film “This is the End” becomes reality.

Donald Trump's actions as President have left many unhappy, including actor Seth Rogen.

Han Yolo! Harrison Ford, 74, gets back in the cockpit of a JET just three days after he nearly crashed his plane into a Boeing 737

Harrison Ford is back in the cockpit again just days after he almost crashed his single-engine plane into a Boeing 737 full of passengers.

The 74-year-old actor, who looked well dressed in dark jeans, sunglasses, a blazer and shirt, was spotted boarding a green Cessna Citation Sovereign 680 at Santa Monica Airport with his copilot before the pair jetted off together, on Thursday morning.

Just three days earlier, Ford was involved in a near miss with an American Airlines jet when he mistakenly landed on the taxiway at John Wayne Airport in Orange County. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told TMZ they will investigate but the probe has been put on hold due to a case backlog, leaving him free to fly for the foreseeable future.

A witness who saw the Star Wars actor's harrowing miss at John Wayne on Monday claimed that Ford had 'completely misjudged the runway'.

The man told the gossip site he was looking out of the windows at the terminal, while waiting for a friend, when he saw Ford's single-engine Husky plane coming in to land.

He described the plane as looking totally out of position and like it was about to crash after Ford 'completely misjudged the runway'.

Moments before the plane hit the ground, Ford 'banked really sharp' and 'hit hard' on the adjacent taxiway, according to the witness who also snapped a photo of the landing.

Donald in denial: My White House is a finely tuned machine (and if you hear anything to the contrary it's just fake news from the lying media fed by lowlife leakers in the intelligence community)

Trump says his White House is a finely tuned machine

Donald Trump claimed on Thursday that his administration is 'running like a fine-tuned machine, despite the fact that I cannot get my cabinet approved.'

He ignored a week which saw him fire his national security adviser for lying to the vice president, and a mounting tide of leaks from inside his White House and his intelligence agencies – instead turning on the media.

The president complained that the national press corps, his most reliable long-time political sparring partner, continues to portray his work unfairly, suggesting that dishonest reporters are responsible for the lack of credit he gets from the public.

He jabbed and jabbed over what he has called 'fake news' reports, ultimately announcing a change of vocabulary. 'I'm changing it from "fake news," though. "Very fake news",' he quipped.

'I turn on the TV, open the newspapers – and I see stories of chaos, chaos,' Trump complained in his first solo press conference since taking over the Oval Office.

'Yet it is the exact opposite.'

'Much of the media in Washington, D.C., along with New York and Los Angeles speaks not for the people, but for the special interests,' he claimed, renewing a campaign theme that at one time drew thousands in sports arenas to yell 'CNN sucks!' at the top of their lungs.

President Robert Mugabe's former deputy, now leader of the opposition Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF), Joice Mujuru, has reportedly accused a group of party leaders she expelled last week of "seeking to turn her into a sex slave".

According to NewsDay, Mujuru said that her former lieutenants, Didymus Mutasa and Rugare Gumbo tried to turn her into a "sex slave" after proposing that she be the party's "queen bee".

In an audio recording of her address to provincial structures in Masvingo at the weekend, Mujuru told her supporters that the duo wanted her to sleep with male colleagues in the party, as she was a widow.

"…They said Mai Mujuru; we want you to be our queen bee. I was supposed to mate with all the men in the party. I was supposed to be their wife. I was supposed to work for them because they had seen that while I was still in Egypt [while in Zanu-PF] I used to work hard.

Britain is pushing for the European Union to hand over a large slice of its assets — which includes cash and property — after Brexit.

The EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier will likely tell British government to hand over £49 billion ($61 billion) as part of its divorce deal from the 28-member bloc.

But The Times reported that the UK government is aiming to claim a "substantial share" of the EU's assets worth more than €150 billion.

The total in assets that Britain wants a slice of that The Times detailed include:

Ouagadougou - Ousted Burkina Faso president Blaise Compaore will likely go on trial in March for his part in the violent crackdown on the 2014 popular uprising that overthrew him, the supreme court prosecutor told AFP Wednesday.

Other members of his former government will also face justice including the ex-prime minister Luc Adolphe Tiao, prosecutor Armand Ouedraogo said.

Compaore, who lives in Ivory Coast, was defence minister as well as president at the time of the insurrection but is only being prosecuted for his role as the former.

"Of the 34 members of (Compaore's) government, seven will be tried in absentia," Ouedraogo added.

Compaore lost power after 27 years following a popular uprising in October 2014 against his attempts to change the constitution to remain in office.

The white house has shared the readout of President Donald Trump’s call with President Buhari last week. The readout which was shared on the white house website reads;

Yahoo is telling users that hackers may have accessed their accounts without passwords

Yahoo is telling some of its users that hackers may have logged into their accounts, using a forged "cookie" which gives access even without a password.

According to CNET, the attack was originally announced in September, but has largely been overlooked until now as the revelation was included within a larger announcement about a Yahoo security breach considered the largest in history.

Yahoo said it had connected some of the cookie-based attacks to the "same state-sponsored actor" believed to be responsible for one of the other hack.

It's unclear why some of the users are receiving the notification now, months after Yahoo first disclosed the cookie attacks.

Scientists discover banned toxic chemicals in animals living in world's deepest ocean trench

“Extraordinary” amounts of toxic chemicals that were banned in the 1970s have been discovered in the bodies of sea creatures living at the bottom of the deepest ocean trench in the world.

Scientists were stunned to discover that such high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other persistent organic pollutants were to be found more than 10km (six miles) below sea level in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. It is about 1,300km from the nearest major land mass, Japan.

And a similar situation was found about 7,000km away in the Kermadec trench, which is also more than 10km deep and about 1,500km north of New Zealand, the researchers reported in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.

California observatory spots dying star 10,000 times brighter than the sun before explosion in a spiral galaxy 160m light years from constellation of Pegasus

Astronomers have captured the early death throes of a massive star that was torn apart in a violent explosion in a galaxy far from Earth.

The star was already 10,000 times brighter than the sun when it collapsed in a supernova that made it shine so intensely it was visible from modern telescopes in orbit and on the ground.

Using an observatory on Palomar Mountain near San Diego, California, scientists spotted the brilliant flash of the explosion within three hours of it reaching Earth. They immediately alerted other telescope operators who swiftly turned their instruments on the stellar wreckage.

Thought to be a red supergiant more than 10 times the mass of the sun and several hundred times larger, the star detonated in a spiral galaxy named NGC7610 which sits 160m light years away in the constellation of Pegasus.

General Mike Flynn has left his post as Donald Trump’s national security adviser.

General Michael Flynn has resigned as Donald Trump’s national security adviser after weeks of speculation over his links to Russia turned into days of reporting on the contents of his calls with the Russian ambassador and a day of intense pressure over whether the president could continue to back his pick.
The resignation came late at night, at around 11pm Washington DC, after further news reports revealed that the White House had been warned last month by then acting attorney general Sally Yates – before she was fired for advising justice department lawyers that the travel ban was “not lawful” – that Flynn was vulnerable to blackmail.
Transcripts of intercepted calls between Flynn and Russian ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyev, as described by US officials to various news outlets, showed the two had discussed sanctions ahead of Trump’s inauguration, when Flynn was part of the transition team but not in post as national security adviser.

Last week, Norwegian cross-country skier Therese Johaug received her 13-month ban by the Norwegian anti-doping agency.

The most notable financial loss for Johaug is the sponsorship deal with ski equipment company Fischer, writes Dagens Industri.

"All our contracts contain an anti-doping clause. With regards to Therese Johaug, the clause is activated after the ruling on her ban," said Fischer in an email to Norwegian television channel TV2.

Residents of Rosettenville in Johannesburg on Saturday, February 11, went on a rampage burning 10 houses they allege belonged to Nigerians running drug dens and brothels in South Africa.

According to the angry residents, they said Nigerians have been running illegitimate businesses in the country.

Speaking to Sowetan Live, Albert Mwenza, a Malawian man and his family who were living at one of the buildings that were burnt narrated his ordeal.

'When a larger group came back, I was told to leave, but I refused. I was then forced out. Some of the people jumped over the wall into the house and stole our belongings.

'They then threw petrol bombs. Everything else that was left inside was burnt to ashes. I am sad because we are innocent and have nothing to do with drugs and brothels.'

Northern Sweden offers endless swathes of pine tree forest, and endless daylight or darkness, depending on season.

A family-run hotel wants to offer you that experience and more - from above ground.

The 7th Room treehouse is the latest addition to the now world-famous Treehotel in northern Sweden, which offers visitors luxury lodging in the middle of the forest.

The hotel was founded in 2004 by Britta Jonsson-Lindval and her husband. Located in Harads, some 80 kilometers inland from the coast in Swedish Lapponia, the hotel has become most famous through the surreal Mirrorcube.

The Treehotel now contains seven different lodgings, all in modern, Scandinavian design, seemingly hovering among the tree canopies.
