An abusive boyfriend got more than he bargained for after he was beaten by his girlfriend's father.. According to an online report, the girl's father and her brother stormed his school, Nnamdi Azikwe University (Unizik), Awka, Anambra State -to deal with boy who is allegedly fond of beating the girl.
The father sternly warned the boy not to go near his daughter again else he would kill him. The boy was given some hot slaps by the man while his son watched and stood guard. The boy later went on his knees to plead with aggrieved family.
Flicking through family albums of her kids playing happily in the sun, Jennifer Nicholson strives to remember the carefree days before her eldest daughter was cruelly taken from her.
They should be precious snapshots of a life that ended all too soon.
But instead of relishing happy memories, the single mum is overcome with grief and guilt.
She can’t help but wonder which of the sun-drenched pictures shows the day her daughter Freja received her life sentence.
Last November, aged 18, the beautiful, intelligent student died from skin cancercaused by sun damage.
Now Jennifer, 50, blames herself for not religiously applying sun cream on Freja’s fair skin in the hot British summers of her childhood. Doctors say that if she had, Freja might still be alive.

In a desperate plea, Jennifer urges other parents to safeguard their children.
She says: “There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t wish I could go back and just take five minutes to put suncream on her delicate young skin when I mistakenly thought there was no danger.
“No mother should see her child die. I cradled mine in my arms as she took her last breaths and with her a part of me died too.
“You never think it’ll be your child and you never think the sun in Britain could be fierce enough to kill, but Freja’s story is proof that it is.

Staging aircraft carriers offshore or using drones from far away can be great assets in modern warfare. However, sometimes it's necessary to go back to the basics when responding to a global crisis.
Exercise Swift Response 16, a month-long operation led by US forces, was conducted to keep up with traditional and newer methods of combat. Over 5,000 troops from nations such as France, Germany, Great Britain, and Italy took part in this massive airborne exercise to conduct a rapid-response, joint forcible-entry scenario. While working with their European allies, US forces also participated in notable scenarios, such as staging a base within 18 hours of notification.
Here are several pictures of the multinational airborne exercise:
Council on Foreign Relations president Richard Haass said Friday that the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union should give Hillary Clinton's US presidential campaign a reason to worry.
Thursday's vote in favor of a British exit from the EU, or Brexit, signals a rise in the populism and nationalism on which US presidential candidates like Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have built their campaigns.
