Here's what Barack Obama told his daughters the morning Trump won the election

Like millions of Americans, Barack Obama was struggling to explain the results of last week's election, a New Yorker profile on the president revealed.

Obama campaigned furiously for Hillary Clinton throughout the presidential campaign, and repeatedly painted Republican Donald Trump as bigoted and xenophobic. Much of his legacy depended on a Clinton victory.

But when Trump won the election in a shocking upset, Obama still had some comforting words to say to his daughters.

"What I say to them is that people are complicated," Obama told The New Yorker's David Remnick:

"Societies and cultures are really complicated. … This is not mathematics; this is biology and chemistry. These are living organisms, and it’s messy. And your job as a citizen and as a decent human being is to constantly affirm and lift up and fight for treating people with kindness and respect and understanding.

Denver becomes first city in America to allow weed/marijuana use in bars and restaurants

Marijuana loving residents in Denver have officially voted for a 'first in the history of the United States' law that allows residents to smoke weed in bars and restaurants but they must first of all get the approval of neighbors.

According to a report by NBC News, the law takes effect immediately but businesses like bar spots and restaurants would have to show they have neighborhood approval before they can get weed license. 

Read the NBC News report below

Denver voters have approved a first-in-the-nation law allowing willing bars and restaurants to give patrons the option to use marijuana alongside a cocktail or meal. The catch: Smoking pot won’t be allowed inside, and the locations would have to first get the approval of neighbors.

Denver voters approved Proposition 300 on the same day that the nation’s largest state of California and two others legalized pot for all adults and five more states approved pot for sick people — signs of society’s increasing tolerance for the drug

Dad who shot dead his daughter's sex attacker accepts 40-YEAR jail term - to save her from testifying

A dad who shot dead his daughter's sex attacker has accepted a 40-year prison term - to save her from testifying in court , it is reported.

Jay Maynor, 43, gunned down Raymond Earl Brooks in 2014 - a decade after the 59-year-old convicted child molester was released from jail.

This week, he admitted murdering Brooks as part of a plea deal so his daughter, Julia Maynor, wouldn't have to testify, according to local media.

Ms Maynor, now a 24-year-old mum of three, was abused by Brooks - her adopted maternal grandad - for several years until she was eight years old.

Speaking after her dad was sentenced to 40 years behind bars on Monday, she said he was an 'amazing father' who had been 'protecting' her.

Nick Gordon ordered to pay $36 million for wrongful death of Bobbi Kristina

Nick Gordon who was the boyfriend of the late Bobbi Kristina Brown's has been ordered to pay $36 million to her estate after being found liable for her death. A judge on Thursday, agreed with Bobby Brown that his daughter was a star in the making and had unlimited earning potential and issued the ruling. Bobby told the court:

"She was an entertainer. If you were around her all could do was laugh. She told a lot of jokes,"  "She was always the life of the party... She was the life of anywhere she went. Anybody she was around definitely enjoyed her company." "I know she had the talent to be successful."

Adding that he believed that Nick was responsible for her death.

Nick was not present in court and hadn't been through the course of the wrongful death trial.

The judge broke down the high dollar amount, awarding $15 million for her net worth and future potential income. He also awarded $13 million for "pain and suffering." $1.5 million and punitive damages of $250,000 for stealing funds after Bobbi's estate accused Nick of regularly transferring funds from her account to his account, including $11,000 after she'd fallen into the coma on Jan. 31, 2015.

LINDSAY LOHAN ROPED INTO VEGAS HOTEL BATTERY CASE

Lindsay Lohan got dragged into a brutal mess allegedly involving 2 Russians and a major ass whooping in one of the most outlandish Las Vegas tales we've ever heard.

A 24-year-old man told Vegas Metro cops ... 2 men came into his room at the Excalibur last month, took him in the bathroom and asked if he'd been talking smack on LiLo ... this according to a police report obtained by TMZ.

The man says he denied saying a peep about Lindsay, but the Russians beat him to a pulp anyway. That's his story and he's sticking to it. So, what's his connection to Lindsay?

The alleged victim tells us he met her at Coachella back in April. As for why 2 random Russian dudes tracked him down 6 months later in a different state -- he thinks they recognized him from Coachella.

For the record, Lindsay's camp says she doesn't know this guy from a hole in the ground, and cops say he refused to cooperate with their investigation. So, case closed.

Some things really should stay in Vegas

Dementia and Alzheimer's become most common cause of death in England and Wales for the first time

Dementia and Alzheimer's disease has become the most common cause of death in England and Wales for the first time.

An ageing population and better diagnosis of the condition has led to dementia and Alzheimer's knocking ischaemic heart disease from the top spot, according to the Office for National Statistics.

Of the 529,655 deaths registered in England and Wales in 2015, 11.6 per cent were attributable to dementia or Alzheimer's.

Among those aged 80 or over, dementia and Alzheimer's accounted for 13.7 per cent of male deaths and 21.2 per cent of deaths among women.

Meanwhile, the mortality rate for dementia and Alzheimer's has more than doubled over the last five years, the figures show.
