Paris fireworks display turns to horror when fireball explodes into the crowd leaving five people critically injured and dozens more hurt

At least 30 people have been injured, five critically after an explosion rocked a busy French carnival. 

The incident happened when a ‘Bengal Fire’ display exploded into the crowd at the carnival near Paris today.

Screaming spectators were thrown to the ground as the blasts shook the ground at the popular event, about 11 miles from the centre, close to Charles De Gaulle airport. 

The horrific accident in Villepinte, in the French capital’s northern suburbs, saw at least one child suffering horrific injuries when a wooden guy-style figure dubbed Mr Carnival went up in smoke. 

The blasts sparked panic among the crowds as several people were harmed by flying debris.

Witnesses described scenes of horror and panicked crowds and reported seeing 'a man with a broken arm' and 'a child with blood on his face'.

Others talked of 'people running around to find their children' in the wake of the explosions.

9 deaths and rare cancer associated with breast implants has been reported in the US

The US Food and Drug Administration confirms that Nine deaths have been reported stemming from a rare cancer that is associated with breast implants. The extremely rare cancer, called anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) affects cells in the immune system and can be found around the breast implant. It can be found in the skin or lymph nodes, and is not a type of breast cancer.

The FDA says "all of the information to date suggests that women with breast implants have a very low but increased risk of developing ALCL compared to women who do not have breast implants". Yesterday, the FDA issued an update on its understanding of breast implant-associated ALCL cases. The agency has received 359 reports of possible breast implant-associated cancer cases as of February 1.

But the exact number of cases "remains difficult to determine due to significant limitations in world-wide reporting and lack of global implant sales data,". Breast implants is the top cosmetic surgery performed in the US with 290,467 procedures in 2016.

Brussels plans to mark the anniversary of 2016 terror attacks with a 'minute of noise'

Belgium this week marks the first anniversary of the Brussels airport and metro bombings with ceremonies showing the heart of Europe is still beating despite the country's worst ever attacks.

Applause is set to ring out during a "minute of noise" on Wednesday as trains, trams and buses halt to remember the 32 people killed and more than 320 injured in the attacks claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group.

Belgium remains on high alert with troops patrolling the streets a year after the blasts, carried out by a network that investigators say was also behind the November 2015 Paris attacks.

"Our country is safer now," Interior Minister Jan Jambon told AFP in an interview, while warning that there was still a threat that battle-hardened jihadists fleeing the Islamic State's last stand in Syria could come home to Belgium.

The ceremonies start at Zaventem Airport where King Philippe and Queen Mathilde will lead victims, family members and rescuers in a service of remembrance for the 16 people killed there by suicide bombers Ibrahim El Bakraoui and Najim Laachraoui at 7:58 am on March 22, 2016.

Men get the bedroom blues too: Study finds both genders can suffer 'post-coital dysphoria' for hours after having sex

They have a reputation for nodding off afterwards – and now it seems making love can make some men depressed, too.

In fact, they can become so sad and emotional that they suffer ‘post-coital dysphoria’ (PCD), according to a report.

Until now it was assumed only women suffer PCD, with nearly half reporting feelings of sadness, anxiety and tearfulness at some point. 

But in recent years doctors have heard complaints from male patients that they can go into deep depression and feel achy and irritable for hours after sex.

The report’s author, Professor Robert Schweitzer, of Queensland University of Technology in Australia, has studied data from both genders, and says PCD is ‘not uncommon’ in men.

He said: ‘There are a wide range of responses in the period of time immediately following sexual activity, known as the “resolution phase”.
