Iran 'arrests person who filmed plane downing'

Iran says it has arrested the person who filmed the footage showing a Ukrainian passenger plane being shot down by a missile.

It is believed the person being detained will face charges related to national security.

Flight PS752 was brought down after it took off from Tehran on Wednesday last week, killing all 176 people on board.

Iran has said it was shot down by accident and announced the arrest of several people over the incident.


President Hassan Rouhani said his country's investigation would be overseen by a "special court".

"This will not be a regular and usual case. The whole world will be watching this court," he said in a speech.

Mr Rouhani also stressed that the "tragic event" should not be blamed on one individual.

Mail on Sunday defends publishing Meghan's letter to her father

The Mail on Sunday will use evidence from the Duchess of Sussex's father, Thomas Markle, in a High Court battle over the publication of a private letter she wrote to him.

Meghan accuses the paper of misusing her private information, breaching copyright and selective editing.

The Mail on Sunday rejects the claims and says there was "huge and legitimate" public interest in publishing the note.

No date has been set for the case.


Documents submitted to the High Court by the paper laying out its defence show much of the evidence it looks like it will rely upon comes from Mr Markle.

He was at the centre of controversy in the lead up to Meghan's marriage to Prince Harry in 2018.

The documents include text messages sent from Mr Markle to his daughter ahead of the wedding.

"The fact that so much of the evidence appears to come directly from him and that he appears to be co-operating with the paper presents at least the possibility of him being called to testify in court against his own daughter," BBC reporter John Donnison said.

The newspaper has given what BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond describes as a "very robust" response to Meghan's claims.

The paper argues in legal documents that members of the Royal Family, including the duchess, "rely on publicity about themselves and their lives in order to maintain the privileged positions they hold and promote themselves".

It said the duchess "did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy that the contents of the letter were private and would remain so".

"There is a huge and legitimate public interest in the Royal Family and the activities, conduct and standards of behaviour of its members," it said.

"This extends not merely to their public conduct, but to their personal and family relationships because those are integral to the proper functioning of the monarchy."

As evidence that it did not infringe her privacy, the paper says the letter was "immaculately copied" in Meghan's "elaborate handwriting", arguing that this care in its presentation meant she anticipated it would be seen and read by a wider audience.

India to welcome Amazon boss, Bezos with protests

The last time Amazon boss Jeff Bezos was here, he wore a long Indian coat, climbed into a gaudily decorated truck, posed for pictures and promised to invest a couple of billion dollars. He also gave dozens of media interviews. "Your hear all the time that there are so many obstacles in doing business in India, but that's not our experience," he told a newspaper.

Five years on, the world's richest man has arrived on a two-day visit to a much less enthusiastic reception.

A union of small traders who claim to represent tens of millions of brick-and-mortar businesses have planned protests in 300 cities against Mr Bezos, accusing his firm of predatory pricing. They complain that the online giant's now six-year-old retail operation in the country is hurting them badly. Praveen Khandelwal of the Confederation of All India Traders, which is organising the protests, says Amazon's "sinister game and evil designs" have "already destroyed the business of tens of thousands of small traders" in India.


If this was not enough, hours before Mr Bezos's arrival, India's anti-trust regulator opened a formal investigation into the business practices of Amazon and its Indian competitor Flipkart, an Indian e-retailer, mostly owned by Walmart.

The regulator says it is looking into allegations of predatory pricing, the exclusive launch of mobile phones, deep discounting and preferential treatment of selected sellers by the online giants, among other things.

Iran chess referee scared to return home amid hijab row as she fears arrest

For 32-year-old Iranian Shohreh Bayat, the Women's World Chess Championship was meant to be a career highlight.

It is her first time as the event's chief arbiter - a senior role.

But that achievement has been clouded by controversy after the circulation of a photograph taken at game in Shanghai that appears to show Ms Bayat without a headscarf, as her country mandates.

She now feels unsafe to return to Iran, where women can be arrested for violating strict Islamic dress code.


"I turned on my mobile and saw that my picture was everywhere [in Iranian media]. They were claiming I was not wearing a headscarf and that I wanted to protest against the hijab," Ms Bayat told the BBC.

She says she was, in fact, covering her head as she always has at international tournaments, despite disagreeing with the rule.

"It's against my beliefs. People should have the right to choose the way they want to dress, it should not be forced," she explained, speaking from Vladivostok in eastern Russia, where she is now refereeing the second leg of the World Championship.

"I was tolerating it because I live in Iran. I had no other choice."

But this time Ms Bayat has run into serious problems.

The photographs circulating online and being discussed by Iran's state media show Ms Bayat's scarf apparently draped over her shoulders and not over her hair. In other pictures from the same day, her head is clearly - albeit loosely - covered.

Ms Bayat says Iran's chess federation instructed her to "write something" in response to the fuss, which she took to mean an apology and a defence of Iran's dress code.

She refused.

So now she says it's too risky to return to her family.

"There are many people in prison in Iran because of the headscarf. It's a very serious issue. Maybe they'd want to make an example of me," she explains, adding that she had "totally panicked" when she saw the reaction online.

How Turkey's greatest ever goalscorer, Hakan Sukur turned taxi driver in US

Hakan Sukur is Turkey's greatest ever goalscorer and once one of Europe's most prolific strikers. A legend.

So, how did he end up driving taxis and selling books for a living in the US, in exile from his home country?

According to an interview with German newspaper, Welt am Sonntag, the 48-year-old former striker's life has taken an unusual and troubling turn since retiring from football in 2008.

He claims that a rift with the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has exposed him to death threats, false accusations and lack of access to funds.


'I have nothing left, Erdogan took everything: my right to liberty, freedom of expression and right to work," he told the paper.

Sukur scored 51 goals in 112 appearances for Turkey between 1992 and 2007. He was part of the Turkish side that finished third at the 2002 World Cup.

The former Blackburn player spent the majority of his career at Galatasaray and is the all-time leading goalscorer in the Super Lig - the Turkish top flight.

After retiring from football, he went into politics. In 2011, Sukur won a seat in Turkey's Parliament as a member of Erdogan's Justice and Development Party .

But he was also tied to Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish Islamic scholar and rival of Erdogan, whom the Turkish President blamed for a bloody attempted coup in 2016.

Sukur, by then living in the US, reportedly denounced the attempted coup, but was nonetheless, in 2017, described by Turkish-run state media as a "fugitive member of the Fetullah Terrorist Organisation (FETO)."

That report describes him living in a $3m house, running a cafe at Palo Alto, "the richest area of San Francisco Bay Area."

"I moved to the United States, initially running a cafe in California, but strange people kept coming into the bar," he told Welt am Sonntag. "Now I drive for Uber and I sell books."

He has said that his houses, businesses and bank accounts in Turkey had all been seized by Erdogan's government.

He also denies any crimes.

"Nobody seems able to explain what my role in this coup was supposed to be," he added. "I never did anything illegal, I am not a traitor or a terrorist."

This is not the first time he's spoken on the subject. In 2018 he told the New York Times: "It's my country; I love my people, even though their ideas about me are distorted by controlled media."

The story throws up more questions about Erdogan's government. In 2018, Mesut Ozil attracted criticism after posing for a picture with the Turkish President, including from the German Football Federation (DFB), which said "football and the DFB defend values which are not sufficiently respected by Mr Erdogan".

Burger King offers Prince Harry a job

Burger King has stepped up to offer Prince Harry and Meghan Markle a place in their royal family as they strive to become financially independent of the monarchy.

“If you’re looking for a job, we have a new crown for you,” read one ad that the fast-food empire started circulating amid Megxit.

“We have a proposition for you: do as thousands of people and take your first steps in the world of work with us,” reads the enticing offer. “You know that the crown will suit you perfectly.

“Also, after so many years of living as dukes, it is time for you to start eating like kings.”


The message closes with a link to apply for a job at the burger joint.

With no immediate response from Harry on the generous offer, Burger King also fired off a pair of tweets.

“you always have a job in our kingdom,” reads one tweet, again with a link to Burger King’s career page.

“@ harry, this royal family offers part-time positions,” reads another.

Nigerian arrested in India for offering fake jobs in US

The police in Kerala India have arrested a Nigerian, Kolawole Boboye, on the charge of operating an online job racket, offering non-existing jobs in the United States.

A team led by Deputy Inspector General of Police Sanjay Kumar Gurudin arrested the accused from Mumbai.

According to The Hindu newspaper, Boboye arrived in India on a student visa and repeatedly indulged in various online advance fee frauds.

One of the scams he perpetrated was sending emails to people offering them placements in the United States. A resident in Thiruvananthapuram, Nandana, fell for the bait.


Over several months, the victim electronically transferred cash to various account numbers sent to her by the suspect. Boboye had allegedly promised the trained pharmacist a job in Flowers Hospital in Dutton in the United States. The accused had siphoned off ₹1.3 lakh from the woman as an advance fee for processing her job visa and making her travel and stay arrangements.

When her prospective “employment agent” turned incommunicado, the victim approached Mr. Gurudin. The DIG put Dy.SP, Cybercrime, P. Giji, in charge of the case.

The investigators traced the digital footprints left by the suspect on internet banking sites and social media and tracked his mobile phone communication. Several leads turned cold, but the investigators soon struck gold. They followed the accused to his location in Mumbai. The police said the suspect used many ATM cards and fictitious identifies for the fraud. They said the fraud detected so far was just the tip of the iceberg.

The accused was produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Thiruvananthapuram, and remanded in judicial custody

Imo People have emerged victorious – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has commended the Supreme Court for the ‘courage and perseverance’ to return Sen. Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the March 9, 2019 governorship election in Imo.

The president made the commendation while reacting to Tuesday’s Supreme Court judgment that sacked Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as Governor of Imo State and declared Uzodinma winner.

President Buhari said: “The road to justice may be long and tortuous, but it is the best path for anyone aggrieved.


“Under the new administration, a new journey to build a new Imo with new energy is about to begin. In this outcome, it is the people of Imo State who have emerged victorious.”

In congratulating the new governor, the president urged Uzodinma to promote the ideals of the APC and unite the state by running an inclusive administration.

The Supreme Court in a unanimous judgment on Tuesday sacked Ihedioha as Governor of Imo State and declared Hope Uzodinma winner.

This weird looking kiwi pizza has been termed an abomination. Will you eat it?

Food lovers have been left horrified after a pizza with kiwis as a topping has gone viral.

The questionable dish was shared online by a tourist visiting Denmark, and it has caused quite the stir online.

The pizza looked like it had all the usual toppings, from a tomato base, cheese, ham - but then had slices of the edible green berry placed on top.

While the debate about whether pineapple belongs on top of a pizza has divided foodies for decades, this addition has caused many to slam it as “stomach-churning”.


One person wrote on Reddit: “That’s an abomination for sure too. It’s ok. There’s a pineapple pizza section in hell.

“Add kiwi and anything else that doesn’t belong on pizza in that same section in hell."

Another added: “Stomach churns at the thought."

Meanwhile, another person said it was one of the worst things to happen in 2020 so far.

They wrote: “The World is going to hell. 1) pathologic lair, traitor, and racist a******* for a president. 2) possible war 3) Australia is on fire 4) kiwifruit on pizza is a thing."

However, as with pineapple, the kiwifruit also had some supporters among pizza lovers.

One brave internet user wrote: “I could almost taste the combined flavours of the cheese and kiwi -- its saltiness and its sweetness and tartness respectively.

“Like it could be a good flavour combination much like that of cheese and grapes or berries."

Woman dating a couple sleeps with both the man and woman in weird polyamorous relationship

A woman has told how she is in a polyamorous relationship with her husband and fiancé.

Ava Miller, 40, of Washington State, has been in a throuple with Anthony Miller, 37, and Ashley Welp, 24, for two years.

Now the trio share a king-sized bed, and Ashley has become an 'aunt' to Ava and Anthony's two young sons.

While some may find their marriage unconventional, Ava insists the polyamorous group have never felt happier.

Ava, a writer, said: “I love my husband and my fiancé equally.

“We don't care what society thinks, we are head over heads in love with each other.”

Ava and Anthony, a technical recruiter, first met through mutual friends in January 2001.

Two months later, the couple moved in with each other and married in October 2003.

Ava says: “I loved Anthony from the moment I met him.

“He was charming, and funny.

“The following year in July 2004, I gave birth to our first son.

“Then in 2009, we had another son and our family was complete.”

During the next six years, Ava and Anthony settled into family life – but she realised she was yearning for more.

In January 2018, she made a shocking confession to Anthony, telling him she wanted to bring another woman into their marriage.

She said: “I'd always known I liked women, even before we got married.

“I told Anthony that I wondered what it'd be like to be with another woman, or have one join our life.

“Anthony loved the idea, and suddenly, we were very excited!”

In February 2018, 15 years after they married, Ava and Anthony were added into a large WhatsApp group with lots of mutual friends.

There, they began chatting to primary school teacher Ashley Welp, 24, who had recently moved to their hometown.

Ava said: “We told Ashley we were married, and had a family.

“She stood out from everyone as she kept cracking jokes and she was so nice to talk to.

“Afterwards we set up our own group chat for the three of us and we talked every day.

“Me and Anthony would sit at the opposite ends of our sofa chatting to her.”

One month later, Ava and Ashley met for the first time, and went shopping at a local mall.

The mum-of-two says: “Ashley was the most beautiful person, it made me so nervous.

“I loved how bubbly she was, she welcomed me with open arms and made me feel comfortable.

“Afterwards, we went home and Anthony cooked us a romantic dinner.

“We kissed for the first time that night.

“It felt like we'd known Ashley all our life. It was natural.”

From then on, Ava, Anthony and Ashley considered themselves a polyamorous trio and now live together.

Man suffers three days erection after taking s.e.x.u.a.l stimulant used to breed bulls

A man had to be rushed to hospital after taking a sexual stimulant "used for breeding bulls" that left him with 'three-day' erection.

The man in Mexico, whose name and age is unknown, is believed to have taken the stimulant as he excitedly planned to have s.e.x with a 30-year-old woman.

However he ended up needing surgery to tackle the persistent engorgement at Specialist Hospital 270 which in Reynosa - a city on the US - Mexico border, La Republica reports.

Doctors told the newspaper: "He had taken a s3xual stimulant which he had bought in Veracruz, used by farmers in that region to invigorate bulls for insemination."

The man is claimed to have travelled to Veracruz, in east Mexico, to buy the stimulant.

He underwent surgery but there have been no updates on his condition.

Just last October, a dad from east London had an operation to remove part of his p3nis to stop his constant, painful erections that lasted three days.

James Mudd, 38, said his embarrassing problem began after a motorbike accident just before Christmas of 2015.

He had corrective surgery and screws put in his neck and also suffered post-traumatic stress disorder after the crash, so was given anti-depressants.

Doctors believe these meds caused James his p3nis problems.

Mother of Kenyan pastor killed in church by estranged husband speaks out

My daughter died a very painful death. Why did the man she had separated with follow and kill her in cold-blood. Those are the words of a grieving mother, Magdalene Maghanga.

The events leading to her daughter’s death started in the most revered and most unlikely place -- in a church.

Ann Mghoi was stabbed several times by her estranged husband, a fellow pastor, inside the church they had spent years to grow, Ground for God’s Gospel 3G Ministries.

The husband, Elisha Nandoyi, requested the congregants to close their eyes in prayer and then pounced on his wife, stabbing on her back and hands.

Seeing what he had done, and quickly enough before the disarmed congregants responded to his wife’s cries, the man slit his own throat, dying on the spot.

Ann still had hope and was dashed to hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.

Now speaking for the first time since the January 5 incident, Ann’s mother revealed that her daughter had complained about harassment and threats from her estranged husband. The family is yet to come to terms with the atrocious murder.

“When she complained about the woes in her marriage, we advised her to stay away from her husband but the husband seemed not ready to accept that until he killed her,” said Magdalene.

The chairlady of the group that runs the church, Gladys Kingi, said they had advised Ann to move to Voi after her husband started issuing death threats.

Gladys said the church plot would be handed over to Elisha’s family but the church music equipment will be given to the congregants since they were bought with their contributions.

“We have no problem with his plot, it belongs to him and we leave it to the family to repose it, what we can’t let go is the music equipments because they were bout by the church,” said Gladys.

This is as fresh details emerged that Elisha had officially transferred the plot to his estranged wife through an agreement signed and witnessed by Josephine Musumi, Gladys Kachanze, Peter Kibanda, Mathia Chanda,C onstantine Wachenje and Damaris Kamuya.

According to the signed agreement seen by K24 TVdated February 03, 2019, Elisha had willingly given out the parcel of land to his wife without undue influence.

“Mimi Elisha Nandoya Id No.11095782 Nimekubali kupeana plot yangu Chembani kwa Anna Mghoi, Kwa hivyo kuanzia leo tarehe 03-02-2019, Anna ndie mmiliki wa ploti (I solely agree to give out my plot to my wife Anna who from today will become the owner of it),” read the signed agreement.

Elisha’s family, through Violet Belia, a younger sister of the killer pastor said he was their sole bread winner.

Belia now asks the government to help them fulfill the wishes her killer brother listed in his 17-page suicide note, including the family getting the plot the church stands on and the church equipment.

The two families have agreed to bury their own separately and post-mortem exercises were planned for Monday, January 13, 2019.

Ann’s body will be buried at Mghangenyika in Taita Taveta County while that of her husband will be laid to rest at Maragoli village in Vihiga County.

The couple left behind four children and the first born is a Form Four candidate in a school in Taita Taveta County.

Aliko Dangote once again declares his intention to buy Arsenal Football Club

Nigerian business magnate Aliko Dangote has once again declared his intention to buy Arsenal Football Club… in 2021.

Dangote, Africa’s richest man, has previously made a number of statements about his desire to purchase the Gunners.

During the last five years, the 62 year-old has made separate claims, on no less than five occasions, about his want to lead an Emirates takeover.

Dangote, who is the 96th wealthiest man in the world, according to Bloomberg's Billionaire's Index, started his first business at the age of 21 and also founded Africa's largest cement provider, stated in 2018 his desire to make a move for the North London club in 2020.


"We will go after Arsenal from 2020… even if somebody buys, we will still go after it,” he told Reuters in 2018.

Now he has altered his plans, amid a holdup with his Dangote Refinery project.

He states: "It is a team that yes I would like to buy some day, but what I keep saying is we have $20billion worth of projects and that's what I really want to concentrate on.

"I'm trying to finish building the company and then after we finish, maybe some time in 2021 we can.

"I'm not buying Arsenal right now, I'm buying Arsenal when I finish all these projects, because I'm trying to take the company to the next level.”

Arsenal are currently owned by Stan Kroenke, through his Kroenke Sports & Entertainment group, with the American having come in for widespread criticism in recent years.

Vogue model fighting for life after 'falling near-n.a.k.e.d from window of third-floor flat'

A model is fighting for her life today after reportedly falling almost n.a.k.e.d from a window. It is understood Ksenia Puntus, 21, plunged from her boyfriend's third-floor flat in Moscow, Russia .

She was reportedly found in bushes by a street cleaner in temperatures of -5C “some hours” after the fall.

The model, who has posed for Russian Vogue and Tatler, suffered head and chest injuries as well as broken ribs, legs and pelvis.

And police have opened a criminal investigation amid fears of foul play.

One friend and fellow model, Alesya Kafelnikova, said: “It is incredibly sad, we are praying for her.

“She remembers nothing except her name.”

The fall happened after a night out and Miss Kafelnikova, daughter of Russian tennis star Yevgeny Kafelnikov, denied her friend had taken drugs.

"Ksenia was not taking drugs, which means we and her family know that something wrong happened,” she said.

“But people who were at the party with her deny everything and insist they took her back home to her boyfriend.”

“She was at the party with a bunch of people I know.

“Most likely their parents will do all in their power to hide the truth."

Miss Puntus wasn't taken to hospital until the cleaner called for an ambulance. The model was reportedly undressed at the time on Saturday morning.

She remains in intensive care and has had two operations.

But her grief-stricken mother said Miss Puntas is in a “grave” condition.

Police say they've interviewed at least one witness but, as of yet, no arrests have been made.

The investigation continues.
