How five unmarried mothers were buried in an unmarked mass grave alongside 796 babies who went missing at Irish nuns' Mother and Baby home of horrors

Grim: The controversial Tuam Mother and Baby Home run by the Bon Secours nuns from 1925 to 1961The bodies of five women who died at a home for unmarried mothers are believed to be buried in an unmarked mass grave with nearly 800 missing children, according to new research.
The single mothers, aged between 24 and 42, were inmates in the controversial Tuam institution run by the Bon Secours nuns in County Galway, Ireland, from 1925 to 1961.
The home made headlines around the world in June 2014 when the Irish Mail on Sunday revealed that no burial records existed for 796 children who died there – and prompted the establishment of a Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby homes.
Reports show that the children suffered malnutrition and neglect, which caused the deaths of many, while others died of measles, convulsions, TB, gastroenteritis and pneumonia.  
Evidence gathered by local historian Catherine Corless strongly suggests the babies were buried in a mass grave behind the property. 
Letters written by the Bon Secours nuns, eyewitnesses and the blueprints of the home all support the existence of the unmarked grave.

If you think this summer of presidential campaign politics has been wild, and last week's news from Wall Street a bit scary, wait until Congress gets back after Labor Day.
The federal government is heading toward a fiscal train wreck, and, at the moment, it's far from clear how lawmakers will avoid it.
Due to partisan polarization on Capitol Hill, the United States currently taxes and spends on the basis of temporary legal authorities, which, in turn, reflect the barest minimum of political consensus necessary to keep the federal government operating.

But despite pleas from his other neighbours who supported him, the grandfather of 11 would not call in police and sought treatment for severe depression, the court heard.

Although the neighbours subsequently moved on, Mr Sutcliffe a retired gas engineer, feared he would be bullied again and became ashamed at being unable to cope. 
He was referred to mental health services on 16th January 2015 but six weeks later when he was still waiting to see a doctor - Mr Sutcliffe was found hanged at his flat in Wibsey, Bradford, West Yorkshire, by his daughter Yvonne Hanson.

The neighbours were named only at the hearing as Mr and Mrs Naylor but are believed to be Arthur Naylor, 72 and his wife Glennis, 63.

Was Shoreham air show too dangerous for the RED ARROWS? Daredevil display team 'refused to perform because it could lead to a major accident'

Tragedy: A crane today lifts up part of the fuselage of the Hawker jet with RAF insignia on the side from the A27 in West Sussex today where up to 20 people are now feared dead




















The Red Arrows allegedly refuse to fly at the Shoreham Airshow 'every year' because 'there is nowhere to put a plane down without killing someone' as it emerged up to twenty people may have died in the disaster.
Police have confirmed 11 people lost their lives in the jet crash on Saturday but they fear nine more bodies may be found as they used a crane to lift the wreckage of the Hawker from the A27 in West Sussex today.
A personal trainer and two young footballers have been named by loved-ones as victims but up to 17 others may have perished in Britain's worst air disaster for a generation. 
Their bereaved families have demanded to know why an aerobatic display where pilots try daredevil stunts was held next to a busy dual carriageway.
A former airshow promoter, who refused to be named, claims the RAF's world famous Red Arrows display team would never perform at Shoreham because they fear a 'major accident'.
Pilots believe the 'danger level' is 'too high' and turn down the chance to perform 'every year' because any crash would 'be a disaster', he said.

Secret societies in Sierra Leone are perpetuating one of the most heinous traditions imaginable

A group of soweis, the most senior women in the Bondo secret societies. The chiefdoms head sowei, seen here wearing a pink dress, is Jeanette Bangura. In the centre, wearing a yellow and blue dress, is Ann-Marie Caulker, an anti-FGM campaigner.
When 16-year-old Mariatu* goes to bed at night she is scared of going to sleep. She fears members of powerful, all-female secret societies are going to break into her room with the consent of her parents and kidnap her.
Mariatu has good reason to be afraid. She has already fled her village in northern Sierra Leone to avoid female genital mutilation (FGM) and expects to go on the run again to avoid being cut.
“I am not safe in this house. I’m not safe in this community,” she said. “I am afraid, when I lie down to sleep, that one day they will grab me, tie me up and take me to that place.” She is referring to the “Bondo” bush, an area of secluded forest where FGM takes place.
