This father is pure class.

Talks of back channel negotiations between Israel and Hamas about women and child hostages. I'll believe it when I see it.

I can't believe they are even filming this war crime. Hope the boy is alright.

This bridge is only 5 years old. Before that, Russia has NO land links to the occupied territory. It is Putin's pride and joy.

Womanwoman:
I feel for them. Poor kids

Indeed. It's one thing to be born blind, but to have a countdown to becoming blind is a whole different thing.

A Canadian family of six has embarked on a world tour to soak in as many visual memories as possible before three of them go blind.

Parents Edith Lemay and Sebastien Pelletier said their children, Mia, 12, Colin, 7, and Laurent, 5, all have been diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa — a genetic disorder that affects the eyes and causes loss of vision.

Their son, Leo, 9, however, was given the all-clear.

The parents have strode on a mission to make sure that their kids get to see the world before they lose their vision, which is expected to hit them around midlife.

There is at present no cure for the disease.

As their eldest prepares for blindness by the time she turns 30, the family was suggested to make ‘visual memories’ by Mia’s speacialist.

Edith told CNN Travel, “I thought, I’m not going to show her an elephant in a book, I’m going to take her to see a real elephant.”

“And I’m going to fill her visual memory with the best, most beautiful images I can,” she added.

“With the diagnosis, we have urgency,” Sebastien said. “There’s great things to do at home, but there’s nothing better than travelling. Not only the scenery but also the different cultures and people,” he added.

The family is on an adventure around the globe and doesn’t wish to return to their home in Quebec for another six months.

The family embarked on their global trek around eastern Canada in July 2021. In March 2022, they started their international tour in Namibia.

They later went from Mongolia to Indonesia and have a bucket list of activities to cross off as the kids want to ride horses and drink juice on a camel.

They keep their friends and fans updated with their travels through regular updates on Facebook and Instagram.

“We never know what’s going to impress them,” Edith said. “They see puppies in the street and it’s the best thing in their life,” she added.

“This trip has opened our eyes to a lot of other things, and we really want to enjoy what we have and the people that are around us,” Sebastien said.

While preparing their kids for the life-altering challenges ahead, the parents remain optimistic that their kids will never go blind.

“Hopefully, science will find a solution,” Sebastien said.

The parents hope that besides strengthening their knowledge, the children will garner survival skills through their travelling experience.

TobiAbuja:
Good achievement... The club much be careful though

Indeed could end badly

These people....blaming a 7 year old. How about a minimum age requirement?

See the sweat pouring down that kid's face. Pretty inhumane to dress then up like that in such extreme heat.

This is a serious development, and proof of the disaster this war has been for Russia. They'll try to let the people down lightly...

Let them have their fun before disappointment again next year. Crazy scenes.

Note how there are no police watching over home fans, only away

ahnie:
Chai see how sweet life is in the abroad.

Meanwhile them go even parade the pikin for TVC news as Bandit or the new leader of IPOB.

NAIJA just Taya person!
Nonsense country....na stowaway sure pass to japa from this cursed country.

That is a fine summary

A four-year-old boy could have a future in Formula One after taking his mum's car for a drive in the Netherlands.

Police in the central city of Utrecht said the child crashed into two parked cars on Saturday, before leaving the scene in his pyjamas and bare feet.

Concerned bystanders called police after spotting him walking down the street alone in the cold.

No one was hurt during his escapade, with police saying on Instagram they had discovered a "new Max Verstappen".

Police wrote that the child had woken up on Saturday when his father went to work, and taken his mother's car keys "to go for a drive".

After officers were called to pick him up, a report came in of an abandoned vehicle near-by, which appeared to have hit two parked cars.

It was registered to the boy's mother, the force said, and officers called her. Handing over the phone to the youngster, police said he mimicked driving and made gestures of turning a steering wheel.

"We then realised that the child may have been the driver," the Instagram post continued.

The four-year-old was given some hot chocolate at the police station and a teddy bear, before being reunited with his mum.

Together, they went to the crash scene, where he was asked if he could show how the car worked.

The child - described by his mother as "resourceful" - opened the car with the key, put it into the ignition and moved his foot to the clutch and gas pedals, police said.

Officers urged the parents to hide their car keys in the future,

"New Max Verstappen found in (the Utrecht suburb of) Overvecht," police wrote in the post - a reference to the current Dutch world champion Formula One driver.

"Fortunately, this mini driver's adventure has come to an end with a sizzle," police added.

The amount of warmongering Putin sychophants on here is very amusing.

Adjovi:
If you watched the video. Their was a first warning shot which means stop advancing. Instead of them to turn back they still kept going. If they actually wanted to kill them they would have. Nigerians and using emotions to reason sha . Putin is lenient with Ukraine when he starts the real war it will be bloody. Let's hope he keeps being lenient in this war.

Now ask yourself this question. If truly NATO wanted peace to reign they would have told zelensky to not bother joining NATO but he should not worry they can have trade unions together which is what Ukraine needs. But no they are supplying weapons through other nations to Ukraine to continue fighting.

Now ask yourself - did you watch the video? The tyres were blown in the first instance then the ambush ensued. I wonder why Zelensky and the Ukrainian people want to join NATO? Hard too say...

Brainwashed and juvenile behaviour. What this article doesn't show is the Ukrainian who stood on the podium in GOLD PLACE and ignored him. The ultimate F you from Ukraine to Russia.

People here are so deluded in their anti West sentiment that their brains are dead. The Chechnyan leader was assassinated when the Russians tracked his satellite phone signal and bombed him. They'll do it again here for what they think is a quick win

Why am I not surprised?

'Russian warship, go f*** yourselves': Final words of Ukrainian border guards protecting Snake Island - just 40 miles from Romanian border in the Black Sea - before Kremlin navy opened fire killing all 13 of them when they refused to surrender

*All Ukrainian border guards protecting tiny island in the Black Sea from Russia were killed yesterday

*Small contingent of soldiers, reportedly 13, were posted on Snake Island in Odessa region near Romania

*In a radio message, the soldiers were told by a sailor on board the Kremlin warship to surrender

*The Ukrainian troops defiantly refused to give up the territory, and instead replied: 'Go f**k yourselves!'

*Snake Island will allow Russia to claim territorial waters stretching 12 nautical miles out to sea

All Ukrainian border guards protecting a tiny island in the Black Sea from Russian invaders were killed yesterday after refusing to surrender to warmonger Vladimir Putin's forces and defiantly telling a Kremlin warship: 'Go f**k yourselves!'.

The small contingent of soldiers, reportedly 13 in number, were posted on Snake Island in the Odessa region near NATO ally Romania and were defending the territory after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine early Thursday morning.

In a radio message, the soldiers were told by a sailor on board the vessel: 'This is Russian military warship. I suggest you lay down your weapons and surrender to avoid bloodshed and needless casualties. Otherwise, you will be bombed.' However, the Ukrainian troops defiantly refused to give up the territory, and instead replied: 'Go f**k yourselves!'.

The Russian soldiers on radio are heard muttering the curse back at the Ukrainians, before all the border guards were killed in an aerial bombardment. Their deaths were later acknowledged by Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

A video circulating on Twitter also appeared to show the moment that the island was shelled. It showed a Ukrainian soldier staring at a camera before a shell landed nearby.

On Thursday afternoon, Ukraine's interior ministry had said Snake Island, which is also called Zmiinyi, had been attacked by Russian forces.

The island is ruled by Ukraine but sits just miles from the coast of Romania. Snake Island is strategically important because it will allow Russia to claim territorial waters stretching 12 nautical miles out to sea. They cover important shipping channels to the port cities of Odessa, Mykolaiv and Kherson. After taking the island, Russia would have been able to cut off the shipping channels, isolating Ukraine from international markets and depriving its economy of vital trade revenues as it seeks to defend itself.

A free ticket to Denmark for the one who lost a leg.

A lot of kids like this slip through the gaps in the UK.... But this is another level of extreme. He used a future serial killer.

Father was a single dad...."my life is in a cemetery". Poor man.

Pop star Shakira has been attacked by two wild boar who 'snatched' her handbag and destroyed it in a Barcelona park.

The Colombian-Lebanese singer was walking in the park with her eight-year-old son Milan when they were attacked.

In footage posted on Instagram, that does not show Shakira's face, the singer showed off a bag she claimed was destroyed by the animals.

The 44-year-old mum-of-two showed off her handbag as she said of the bizarre incident: 'Look at how two wild boar which attacked me in the park have left my bag.

'They were taking my bag to the woods with my mobile phone in it. They've destroyed everything.'

She then added as her son walked off in the background: 'Milan tell the truth. Say how your mummy stood up to the wild boar.'

The singer, whose partner is Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, did not detail when the incident took place or which park it occurred in.

Neither Shakira, full name Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, or her son appeared to have been injured.

Wild boars increasingly come into towns and cities to forage for food.

Barcelona resident Xavier Bosch told last month how he was bitten by a wild boar near the city's Tibidado Amusement Park after going with his family to watch meteor showers and shooting stars.

He ended up reporting the attack to Barcelona City Hall. Pictures of wild boars emerging from parks in the Italian capital Rome and combing traffic-clogged streets in the city centre in search of food have been going viral over the past few weeks on social media.

The animals have also been spotted several times in the centre of Costa del Sol resorts like Fuengirola.

Adult males can inflict serious injuries with their canines in case of an attack.

Due to their solid body build wild boars are considered to be particularly dangerous when involved in car accidents.

As well as being dangerous because of their aggression, they are the carriers of diseases that can be passed on to humans such as tuberculosis, hepatitis E and influenza A.

The average weight of male adults is around 180lbs which is just under 13 stone.

Sorry, how is it 'on the rise in the UK'? All I see is one open petrol cap.

The job application deadline is today, but in the UK alone it will be highly sought after.

The current pupils are nine-year-old Freyja, six-year-old Luca, and Ander, who is three.

Freyja said: "There are not many children so you can get to do lots of different things.

"And we grow lots of vegetables to have with our school dinners."

Eileen Thomson, the mother of Luca and Ander, said the island was lucky to have such a good school and it was vital that it managed to attract the right person to continue the work done by Mrs Stout.

The departing head teacher said a major challenge was preparing the children for secondary school, when they have to leave Fair Isle and go to board at the high school in Lerwick in Shetland.

She said: "It's a big move from them and they just come back every third weekend and holidays.

"So a lot of our time is spent on school trips to get them used to being in Lerwick and used to the Anderson High School hostel where they will go and live."

Shetland Islands Council said whoever replaces Mrs Stout would have a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Robin Calder, its executive manager for quality improvement, said: "This is a tremendous opportunity for a head teacher, or aspiring head teacher, to join the vibrant community of Fair Isle and continue to take the school forward.

"It offers a fantastic opportunity for any educationalist to develop both professionally and personally."

Scotland's most remote island primary school - with just three pupils - is searching for a new head teacher.

Fair Isle, which is halfway between Orkney and Shetland, is famed for its knitwear and bird observatory.

It is just three miles long (4.8km) and one-and-a-half miles wide, is home to 60 people, and only got a reliable 24-hour-a-day electricity supply in 2018.

Headteacher Ruth Stout has worked at the school for 35 years, but is due to step down in October.

Shetland Islands Council said the post - with a salary of £56,787 per year - was a unique opportunity, with applications having to be in by Sunday night.

Mrs Stout said the island - which featured in the BBC's Fair Isle: Living on the Edge documentary series - is a great place to live and work, but urged potential applicants for the job to carefully consider the practicalities of moving there.


She said: "It's quite a different sort of life to living in other places. We are very weather dependent.

"Planes and boats are often cancelled and that can impact on school trips. You have to be adaptable and flexible living here.

"I've been here for 35 years and we've a lot of children through the school - we've had primary one to primary seven, every age and stage in the class at the same time. The children learn from each other."

APCs NOT tanks

The Chinese are destroying the Muslim Uigher people in their own country. Nice to see how committed the Taliban are to their brethren.

Not even 10 fans involved, and this is an 'England-wide' thing. Ok...

More like congratulations to whomever stole all of the Puma Olympic kits. A hefty profit to be made on those.
