Israel's foreign minister and Hamas have denied earlier reports of a truce deal to end fighting in Gaza between Israel and Palestinian militants.

Avigdor Lieberman said the reports were "as of now incorrect", and Hamas, which controls Gaza, said talks in Egypt were ongoing.

An Israeli official earlier told the BBC the truce was to take effect on Friday at 06:00 local time (03:00 GMT).

Some 227 Palestinians and one Israeli have died in nine days of conflict.

Israel launched its Operation Protective Edge with the stated objective of halting Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel.

However, the United Nations says most of those killed in Gaza have been civilians.

Israel accuses Hamas of hiding its military infrastructure within the civilian population.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry says efforts will continue to try to broker a ceasefire

On Thursday, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees said it had found 20 rockets hidden in one of its vacant schools in Gaza and "strongly condemned" whichever group had placed them there.

A five-hour humanitarian ceasefire took place on Thursday but hostilities quickly resumed after it ended.
'Intensive talks'

Egypt has been mediating in negotiations between Israel and Hamas.

Earlier reports said a new truce deal had been agreed by Israeli negotiators but that it had not yet been approved by the Israeli cabinet.

Twelve petitioners try to kill themselves in Beijing in a desperate attempt to publicise injustices they claim to have suffered at the hands of Communist Party officials.

Twelve Chinese protestors are being treated in hospital after attempting to draw attention to alleged government abuses by taking their own lives.

In two separate mass suicide bids, petitioners from the provinces of Guizhou and Jiangsu this week travelled to Beijing to make their dramatic protests.

At around 8.10am on Wednesday morning seven petitioners drank pesticide outside the headquarters of China Youth Daily, a state-run newspaper.

A photograph showed the victims – two women and five men – lying on the pavement outside the newspaper, with documents scattered around them.

Chen Xinguo, one of the group, told the Chinese magazine Caijing he had swallowed 250ml of pesticide to protest the forced demolition of his home in the city of Qingyang in Jiangsu.



Four of the seven remain in life threatening condition, according to the state-run People’s Daily newspaper.

Qin Zeying, the wife of one of the group, 58-year-old Cai Fuxi, said she had not been aware of her husband’s plans but hinted that she supported them.

“We had no other option but to resort to this to make ourselves heard. We have lost our house. We have lost everything,” she told The Telegraph. “We’ve been driven to homelessness. We’ve been driven into a corner – the government gave us no way out.”

Ms Qin said her husband, who she believes is now “out of danger”, had dedicated his life to obtaining compensation after the family home was demolished.

He had previously travelled to Nanjing, the provincial capital, to protest, she said. There, he was detained and thrown into an illegal “black jail” where, for three days, he had “no food, no sleep and not even a drop of water to drink”. “All my husband wants is to get an answer,” she added.

In a separate incident, five petitioners from Guizhou province in southwest China also attempted to kill themselves in protest after being detained by police.

“They drank the pesticide and fell to the floor,” a witness named only as Ms Zhu told Radio Free Asia, the US-funded news group.

Ms Zhu said she had unsuccessfully tried to talk to one of the petitioners, in order to publicise their case.

“She said a couple of things, and then white foam started coming out of her mouth and she fainted away."

“When they fell to the floor, all the petitioners gathered round and started shouting, but the police corralled us and wouldn't let us see," Zhu added.

"One policeman saw me taking photos and dragged me into an office where he snatched my cell phone and deleted the photos.”

The exact nature of the group's cause was unclear although Radio Free Asia reported it related to complaints against by local government officials.

Petitioning is an ancient tradition in China. Millions of citizens continue to flock to the capital each year to air their grievances even though few cases are ever solved.

Earlier this year Beijing promised to reform the petitioning system and protect petitioners who are often beaten or illegally imprisoned to stop them taking their complaints to the capital.

However, Maya Wang, a Hong Kong-based researcher from Human Rights Watch, said there was no evidence to suggest that such violations were diminishing.

“We haven’t heard of any noticeable improvement in the way authorities handle petitions,” Ms Wang said.

The attempted suicides were likely driven by “the sense of desperation among petitioners” who had spent years unsuccessfully trying to alert authorities to their problems, Ms Wang added.

A Malaysian airliner reportedly with 295 people on board has crashed in Ukraine near the Russian border, on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysia Airlines said it had lost contact with Flight MH17 from Amsterdam. The last known position was over Ukraine, it said in a tweet.

An aviation source in Moscow told Reuters the plane had been found burning on the ground in east Ukraine.

Separatist rebels have been fighting government forces in the region.

Analysis: Jonathan Beale, BBC News

A defence expert has told the BBC that shooting down a plane at 10,000m (9.7 miles) would have required a long- range surface-to-air missile - possibly guided by radar.

That suggests it is unlikely it could have been downed by a portable air defence missile, or Manpad, which has a much shorter range.

The only other possibility is for an aircraft at that height to be downed by a fighter carrying air-to-air missiles.

The US will have access to satellite imagery that should be able to identify ultra-violet plumes if a long-range surface-to-air missile was fired.

A number of Ukrainian military planes have been shot down by missiles in recent weeks. Ukraine has accused Russia's military of supplying advanced missiles to the rebels.

Earlier on Thursday, Ukrainian officials blamed the Russian air force for shooting down one of its ground attack jets on Wednesday.

Anton Herashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine's interior minister, was quoted by the Associated Press as saying the plane had been hit by a missile at an altitude of 10,000m (33,000ft). The claim could not be verified independently.

The source which spoke to Reuters about burning wreckage on the ground said the plane had failed to enter Russian airspace.

The UK Foreign Office said it was aware of the reports of the crash and was "urgently working to establish what has happened".

• Interfax reports that a Malaysian plane has crashed in Ukraine
• The plane was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur
• 295 people were onboard
• Reports that the plane could have been shot down

16.57 More detail on the circumstances of the crash - although it must be stressed that this is only preliminary information.

Interfax-Ukraine quoted another Ukrainian official as saying the plane disappeared from radar when it was flying at 10,000 metres (33,000 feet), a typical cruising altitude for airliners.

It came down at Torez, near Shakhtersk, some 40 km (25 miles) from the Russia border. The area has been the scene of fighting between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russian rebels.

16.54 Witnesses from the town of Torez in the Donetsk Region told RIA Novosti that plane wreckage and dead bodies have been located in the vicinity. The crash took place near the Hrabovo village, outside Torez.

16.53 Interestingly, Russia Today says that the Ukrainian rebels - backed by Russia - have denied any involvement in the plane crash.

Quote The Donetsk People’s Republic, where fighting continues between Kiev and opposition, has rejected any involvement in the incident, as there are reports that the plane was shot down.

It said its self-defense forces just don’t have such military equipment.

Residents have reported about finding debris from a plane, which they say could belong to the Malaysian Boeing. They also said no bodies have been seen, RIA Novosti reports.

16.52 Russia Today has the following report:

Quote The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Anton Geraschenko said the plane carrying 285 passengers and 15 crew members fell.

16.50 Reports suggest that the plane was shot down by a surface-to-air missile called a BUK.

Colin Freeman explains:

The BUK is a self-propelled, medium-range surface-to-air missile systems in the Soviet era and designed to engage cruise missiles, smart bombs, aircraf and and unmanned aerial vehicles. Modern versions can reach up to 80,000 feet.

16.47 Reaction to the plane crash is beginning to come in now.

This is from Carl Bildt, the Swedish foreign minister

DjAndroid:
you are not wrong my brother, Among all these data units you mentioned here, why did you decide to pick only megabyte (MB) to represent all of them irrespective of the size?

mb is more common to people and there are certain situation that requires that. 0.3 seconds = 300 milliseconds, but certain people don't know what millisecond is, so...

Justiyke4u: and wat is the difference between 2gb and 2048mb?

my broda ask am.

DjAndroid:
2gig is 2000 MB. you are right.
but,
after saying: seven hundred, eight hundred, nine hundred, why do you say "one thousand" instead of "Ten hundred "
by
when you have less than 1mb, maybe 900kb, will you also call it MB?

@op, you call 900kb 0.9mb . There are many downloading software that read that way. Also it should be data bundle as mentioned above. But if somebody asks how many mb did airtel give you and you replied 2048mb (that is 2gb) there is nothing wrong about it (regular talk). Somebody can choose to measure the length between two far points using inches, but it is more ideal to use yard or miles so as to ease things up and reduce the size of the number. Last bullet: Bits comes before bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes, exabytes, zettabytes, yottabytes, Brontobytes, etc.

I recommend my thread for front page https://www.nairaland.com/1796392/problems-education-system

This pictures shows the problem of the education system.

I replace the weak fan with a stronger one and the suction was increased. I am unable to make a video for it now. Here is a diagram of the vacuum;

I built it totally from scratch, its suction isn't that strong tho. Here is a list of the parts i used:
1)1 dc motor (got it from my spoilt pc game pad/controller)
2)Cara hair dye (The round container)
3)Hot glue
4)Net
5)18650 Battery
6)18650 Battery holder

Zikdik:
Lol,what does your bible say about calling a person a fool?
That is it,you folks are bigots. You claim to be holy and righteous.Yet,you would say and do ridiculous things to protect this fictional character called god.

i can see you are purely senseless. Your brain has probably knock engine due to over rustingness or your brain was sucked out with a straw. Let me inform you, am not a christian but i believe in a supreme being called God. The reason for creating this thread is because am tired of seeing all this deeper life girls in my area. So you can go back to sucking powdered milk.

Thanks adewasco2k,

I get ur hint dat u have given to me but i will try and learn more on mysql database.

I need more help. I want you to guide me in creating a php code for a registration form dat extend to two page or more pages with next on each page and with submit button on last page. But i want the data to be submitted to a table in the data base register. Need ur insight pls.

ok then, am not a html guy.

kambo: Nice essay Elvis.
At the onset re re inventing d wheel is a psychological primer rather than a pragmatic reaction , but as time goes on u may hav mor goals to meet that low level tweaking losses it's appeal. Thats where u just cobble components together and hope they work, and if they dont u hope the error catching mechanism is robust enuff to handle the outcomes.
U'll reach there. But even at that, wheel re invention will continue at higher levels or different subfields . Y , first, the analogy is broken, software wheels aint round. Mathematically, the formula for a circle is perfect and cant b improved, but a physcal wheel has many variables actg on it, like roads rocks bumpy surfaces slippery surfaces etc so engineers keep adjusting the wheel augmenting it , in software the variables a so called software wheel acts on can b myriad, and with new situations a complete redesign is necessary . Software systems ar more complex than wheels by a vast margin.
Anyway, i used to write and re write lists data structures from scratch for my programming projects but now i just use whats available in d basic library. While i may chase writing some other software that already exists cuz i dislike d interface of the available ones. E.g some windows software suck big time. I hav to re write versions for myself so i could get more wrk done on d machine .

NICE.

Am Running On Localhost though..(Wamp Things)..

Will get back to u..

ok

Zikdik: This is ridiculous. You mean to say god cares more about women wearing trousers and less about religious wars that have claimed some hundreds of thousand lives and still counting? What kind god does that? Honestly,I just can't fathom the way theists think.
Funny thing is,most of these peeps look very much unattractive. By covering up their bodies,they actually save our eyes from the horror of seeing a set of "god's poorly-designed beings".

an uninvited f**l with zero common sense = you.

omoayeni1: If you want biblical prove I will try and give you one go and read Deuteronomy 22v5.I think you should have a change of mind.
woman shall not wearthat which pertaineth unto a man,neither shall a man put on a waman's garment for all that do so are abomination unto the lord thy lord.

did you read my post ?. In the history of trouser, it was worn by both men and women. And did the creator of trouser made it only for women ?. Its just like saying: if a new dress comes out and it is worn by men and women, then in about 900 years most men wear it, you would then say its a sin for a woman to wear it ?

Djangocode:

Thanks Bro.. I'll test run it when am on PC.. That's thoughtful of u..

ok, inform me when you are done and maybe a link to the site.

@ adewasco2k,

Thank you so much but i will like u to send me a format for the table and php based on what i required to my email: francisakwari@hotmail.com. Thanks once again. I look forward to ur response.

I think you should learn mysql or learn more on database, thats the best help you can get. Your view of a database is not just it, you might have some tough time working with adewasco2k solution. @adewasco2k, if possible post the code here, it will help others that might be interested in such now or in the future *grins*.

holypower: Dear you are going wrong. GOD is against it totally. I tell you now. Both the deceived and the deceiver are going one place. Thanks

because of attitude like this people doubt God. Where is your proof ? You just make statement without any foundation.

Hi. Many churches and organisation ban women from wearing trouser, saying it is a sin or other unproved reasons. My view of this is, it is not a sin for a woman to wear trouser. According to wikipedia, trouser didn't start with humanity. It was adopted in asian countries and some other allies or close countries. Many countries saw it as a stupid dressing and refused to wear it. But they later started adopting it due to the warmth it provideth. At its beginning it was not worn by only men, it was also worn by women. If we say women that wear trouser has commited sin, then most of the men in the bible committed sin because back then, men wore robe and other skirt ish material which are similar to gown and other skirt ish stuff. I will like a biblical evidence that proves trouser is a or your opinion on this.
