Egyptian student, 18, beaten to death by gang of 10 women in Nottingham

Detectives investigating the death of an 18-year-old student have said there is no information to suggest the attack was motivated by hate. Mariam Moustafa was left in a coma after a street assault at about 8pm on February 20 before she was pronounced dead almost a month later.
The teenager was allegedly punched several times during a confrontation with a group of women in Parliament Street, Nottingham, before she was later taken to the Queen’s Medical Centre in the city. She was then transferred to Nottingham City Hospital but died on Wednesday. The teenager got on a bus at the scene near the Victoria Centre shopping precinct but was followed by the same group, who it is claimed were then threatening and abusive towards her.

Nottinghamshire Police have said they are aware of social media posts claiming the attack was motivated by hate and are ‘keeping an open mind’. A Home Office post-mortem examination is due to take place.
A 17-year-old girl arrested on suspicion of assault occasioning grievous bodily harm was bailed pending further investigation following the incident. A statement from the force said: ‘We would like to reassure the community that we are treating this incident very seriously and we are working hard to establish the circumstances. ‘We are also giving support to Mariam’s family at this very difficult time.’

Stephen Hawking dead at 76

Legendary scientist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76, a spokesman for the family said early Wednesday.

Hawking, whose work in the field of physics was celebrated around the globe, died at his home in Cambridge in the early hours of Wednesday morning, his family said.

His children released a statement following his death.

“We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today,” read the statement from children Lucy, Robert and Tim.

“He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years.”

Hawking probed the mysteries of the universe explaining the complex theories space, time and black holes.

He suffered from a rare neurological disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, which kept him bound to a wheelchair.

Despite his ailment, Hawking went on to become the Lucasian Professor at Cambridge in 1979 — the chair once held by Isaac Newton in 1663.

He sought to bring advanced scientific theories to a general audience with “A Brief History of Time,” the book which became an international best seller, making him one of science’s biggest celebrities since Albert Einstein.

Hawking was involved in a mythical quest to find a “unified theory.”

Such a theory would resolve the contradictions between Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, which describes the laws of gravity that govern the motion of large objects like planets, and the Theory of Quantum Mechanics, which deals with the world of subatomic particles.

Hawking said finding a “theory of everything” would allow mankind to “know the mind of God.”

He followed up “A Brief History of Time” in 2001 with the more accessible sequel “The Universe in a Nutshell,” updating readers on concepts like super gravity, naked singularities and the possibility of an 11-dimensional universe.

Hawking said belief in a God who intervenes in the universe “to make sure the good guys win or get rewarded in the next life” was wishful thinking.

“But one can’t help asking the question: Why does the universe exist?” he said in 1991. “I don’t know an operational way to give the question or the answer, if there is one, a meaning. But it bothers me.”

The combination of his best-selling book and his almost total disability — for a while he could use a few fingers, later he could only tighten the muscles on his face — made him one of science’s most recognizable faces.

He made cameo television appearances in “The Simpsons” and “Star Trek” and counted among his fans U2 guitarist The Edge, who attended a January 2002 celebration of Hawking’s 60th birthday.

His early life was chronicled in the 2014 film “The Theory of Everything,” with Eddie Redmayne winning the best actor Academy Award for his portrayal of the scientist. The film focused still more attention on Hawking’s remarkable achievements.

Some colleagues credited that celebrity with generating new enthusiasm for science.

His achievements, and his longevity, also helped prove to many that even the most severe disabilities need not stop patients from living.

Multiple car crash kills 10 people in Abuja

Ten persons reportedly died yesterday at Nyanya, a suburb of Abuja, following multiple road crashes that happened at 9.30am, close to the popular Nyanya Tipper Garage, involving truck belonging to a soft drink company and two others belonging to a construction company.

Russian spy latest: Up to 180 military personnel deployed to Salisbury to aid investigation into nerve agent poisoning

Specialist chemical and biological warfare units from the military are investigating the graves of Sergei Skripal’s wife and son after being deployed to Salisbury.

The investigation into the nerve agent attack on the former Russian double agent and his daughter Yulia intensified as up to 200 military personnel from the Army, Royal Marines and RAF moved in.

Counter-terror police, who are leading the probe, said they requested help to remove “a number of vehicles and objects from the scene in Salisbury town centre as they have the necessary capability and expertise”.

Targets included Mr Skripal’s car, an ambulance, air-ambulance helicopter and police vehicle, which were covered by people wearing protective gear and driven away on military lorries.

Officers wearing hazmat suits were seen placing a blue forensic tent over a memorial stone for the former spy’s son, Alexander, and nearby grave of his wife Liudmila.

They were both thought to have died of natural illnesses but the cause of their deaths – in 2017 and 2012 respectively – have come under renewed focus following the brazen attempt on Mr Skripal’s life.
