Michel Temer is Brazil new president, due to the suspension given to incumbent president Read more about the new president.. Michel Temer: 5 things to know about Brazil's interim leader By Catherine E. Shoichet, CNN UPDATED: MAY 12, 2016 11:21 GMT What happens when a political scandal tears through your country's government and suddenly you're in charge, just a few months before the Olympics come to town? Michel Temer is about to find out. Now that lawmakers have decided to go ahead with impeachment proceedings against Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, Temer will take the reins for up to 180 days and become interim President. If she's found guilty, he could end up finishing out her term. Here are five things you need to know about Temer. 1. Wall Street likes him. Temer, a 75-year-old attorney and former speaker of the House known as a backroom negotiator, is someone investors seem to like. He's head of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, which released a plan last fall detailing how it would help the country's economy rebound. The Financial Times called it "the ultimate investors' wish list." As political turmoil picked up steam earlier this year and the possibility of a change in leadership -- with Temer at the helm -- became increasingly likely, Brazil's Bovespa index has been trading at higher levels and the value of Brazil's currency has increased. 2. Most Brazilians don't. A majority of Brazilians have said they think Temer should also be impeached and that they would prefer new elections. In an exclusive interview with CNN last month, Temer said that's not an option Brazil's constitution allows. But if the impeachment process goes forward, Temer said, getting Brazilians back on board with his government will be a priority. That didn't convince one Brazilian lawmaker, who decried Temer as he voted to impeach Rousseff last month. "Michel Temer is like a vampire from these horror movies. ... It's like a virus, when immunity fails, the virus comes and contaminates the whole body. And it has contaminated this house," Rep. Weliton Prado said. 3. His wife is a former beauty queen with his name tattooed on her neck. But there's at least one Brazilian who's firmly in Temer's camp: his wife. Marcela Temer, a 32-year-old former beauty queen, has his name tattooed on her neck. When Michel Temer published a book of poetry several years ago, titled "Anonymous Intimacy," Marcela Temer told Brazilian media she'd inspired at least a few of the poems within its pages. 4. He hasn't been investigated in the bribery scandal shaking Brazil, but he could be. Many politicians from Temer's party have been charged in connection with a far-reaching corruption scandal tied to Brazil's state oil company. Temer is not under investigation, but his name has been mentioned in some testimonies tied to the case. He told CNN he had nothing to do with the scandal. 5. His parents were immigrants from Lebanon. Officials estimate that between 7 million and 10 million people in Brazil have Lebanese ancestry. Temer is one of them. His parents left Lebanon in the 1920s for Brazil, where Temer was born. "My father always said that Brazil is the place to 'make America,' and by 'make America' he meant the place to grow -- to prosper," Temer told Lebanon's Executive magazine in 2014. Since taking office in Brazil, Temer has visited Lebanon a few times. Residents of Btaaboura, the small town in northern Lebanon where Temer's family has roots, are big fans of the Brazilian official, according to local media. There's already a street named after him there. http://www.cnnmobile.com/world/2016/05/10/michel-temer-5-things-to-know-about-brazils-interim-leader |

Kelechi Iheanacho has disclosed to journalist that his comparison to macos Rasford makes him work harder Manchester City's teen sensation Kelechi Iheanacho said comparisons to cross-town rival Marcus Rashford only push him to work harder. In what has been a poor season for City and Manchester by their lofty standards, the teen duo have provided silver linings for both clubs with their goalscoring heroics. Iheanacho has been ever-present for City this season, making 34 appearances and scoring 13 goals across all competitions. Across town for United, Rashford burst onto the scene in February when he scored two goals on debut in the Europa League against Midtjylland. Since, the 18-year-old United striker ha scored seven goals in 16 games, including the winner in March's Manchester derby. Rashford's rise has earned him comparisons to Iheanacho but the 19-year-old Nigerian said it only makes him more determined to succeed. "I love a challenge so when people compare me and Rashford, it gives me more confidence and motivation. It also makes me work even harder," he told the Daily Mail. "I hope people keep comparing us because if we can keep challenging each other in the coming years it could be great for Manchester. If we both keep doing well, improving and scoring lots of goals for the team it could be interesting." Iheanacho said he could learn from Rashford and said it was good to see two young players push for regular action in teams such as City and United. "Rashford is a great young talent. He is big and strong and makes good decisions so I think he's going to be a really good player for United in the coming years," he added. "You can learn from every player so I've learned from Rashford as well this season and I wish him all the best in his career. "Like all young players coming through for their clubs in this country, I hope they do well and continue to do well. Nobody knows what will happen in the future though. "I don't know anyone who is playing who doesn't want to keep improving and be at the top level. I don't know if I'll end up being a top player or not. "But I'll be working hard to achieve that and I wouldn't complain if it happened. I just have to keep going and see where it takes me." |

according to CNN this barbaric event called honour killing occured in Pakistan. there is so much evil happening in the world how do people sit, plan, and carry out such gruesome killing please read 'It is not honor killing, it's just plain murder' By Sophia Saifi, Zahir Shah and Chandrika Narayan, CNN UPDATED: MAY 06, 2016 20:03 GMT Her name was Ambreen. She was just 15. Her alleged crime: Helping a neighbor and her boyfriend elope. For that, she was dragged from her home, injected with sedatives, strangled, tied up in a van and then burned, Pakistani officials said. More than a dozen people have been arrested in the brutal and barbaric killing, including the mother of the victim, according to police in Abbottabad, in Pakistan's northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. They said the death was a so-called honor killing ordered by a tribal council. CNN does not use that description for these types of slayings. "The order came after Ambreen's neighbor, Saima, had eloped with her boyfriend on the 22nd of April," police Officer Khurram Rasheed said. The girl's killing was ordered by a 15-member tribal council, or jirga, which gathered to investigate the elopement, the officer said. Some of those council members then carried out the killing, he said. Police said some also happened to be family members of the girl who had eloped. Ambreen was kidnapped, strangled with ropes and tied to the back seat of a van and then the van was set on fire, police said. The girl's charred skeleton was found April 29. Ambreen's mother was arrested along with 13 members of the jirga because she allegedly knew about the orders to kill her daughter but did not alert the authorities, Rasheed added. But Ambreen's father, Sardar Riasat, disputed that account and said his family was not complicit in the killing. "My daughter was innocent; she'd quit school after eighth grade, she was only 15 years old," the laborer said Friday, crying when CNN contacted him. "My wife is innocent, too. What is this barbarism? How could they do this to my innocent child? I don't know what to say." Police said the couple that eloped have been tracked and are in a safe place. Those arrested will be tried in an anti-terrorism court, officials said. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has strongly condemned the killing. "Such a barbaric act is not only un-Islamic but also inhuman," Nawaz Sharif said in a statement. "The culprits must be brought to justice without any delay. Acceptance of such acts in society is unacceptable. (The) criminals should be prosecuted swiftly. It is not honor killing, it's just plain murder." Loud blast heard CNN teams on the ground near Abbottabad pieced together a report after speaking to witnesses and officials. Around 3 a.m. local time on April 29, residents heard a loud blast, they told CNN. People found three vans on fire when they gathered at the scene. In the back seat of one van was a corpse burned beyond recognition. They were able to determine the body was a woman's only by the bangles on the charred skeleton's hand. It remained a cold case until a breakthrough Thursday night when police found out the tribal council had ordered the killing. Renewed attention to tribal practice The horrific crime has shone further light on the prevalence of these killings in Pakistan. Around 1,100 women were killed by relatives in Pakistan last year, according to the country's independent Human Rights Commission. The crimes originate from tribal practices and are often meted out as punishment for behavior viewed as bringing dishonor to a family or village. There has been a complete failure of the state and the society to deal with such crimes, most of which are premeditated, according to Farzana Bari, director of the gender studies center at Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad. "The criminal justice system is completely not working very effectively," Bari said. "At the local level people go to the tribal council for their issues. ... This is not the first time such a heinous crime is committed against a woman on the order of the tribal council." Women are more often the target of such killings, but men can also be victims. In 2014 a young newlywed couple were killed by members of the bride's family after they married against the family's wishes. In February, director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's film on the subject, "A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness," won an Oscar for best documentary short and helped bring renewed attention to the practice. It followed the story of 18-year-old Sabha, who miraculously survived after she was shot, tied in a gurney bag and thrown in a river by her uncle and father for an unsanctioned marriage they thought brought shame on the family. "To me honor killing is premeditated, cold-blooded murder, but the justification given by men when they kill a woman is that she did something without permission, or that is out of bounds of what society deems is OK for a woman," Obaid-Chinoy said. |

Kenya to torch record amounts of ivory By Briana Duggan, Robyn Kriel and Mayra Cuevas, CNN UPDATED: APR 30, 2016 20:26 GMT Twelve ivory towers burned in Kenya on Saturday, sending thick plumes of ash and smoke over Nairobi National Park as elephant and rhino tusks smoldered. A rainy Saturday afternoon brought together heads of state from several African nations and hundreds of onlookers to watch Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta set fire to over $172 million worth of illicit wildlife goods. A somber mood took over the crowd as the event began. They listened to the gust of wind feeding the flames, and the crackle of burning ivory, rhino horn and other items. Bright red embers bloomed inside the 10-foot high by 20-foot wide pyres, turning the coveted white ivory tusks to nothing more than charred animal remains. This was the most significant demonstration against poaching in the region and the largest burn of illegal wildlife products in history. "The rising value of elephant ivory trade, illegally on the international market, has resulted in a massacre in the rainforest of Africa," Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta told the crowd. "In 10 years in central Africa we have lost as many as 70% of the elephants. The elephant, as has been said, is an iconic symbol of our country. Unless we take action now we risk losing this magnificent animal." It took Kenya's Wildlife Services 10 days to build the crematorium that contained the 105 tons of elephant ivory, 1.35 tons of rhino horn, exotic animal skins and other products such as sandalwood and medicinal bark. This was Kenya's fourth such burn in a practice that goes back to 1989 -- an idea hatched to combat the worsening poaching crisis. Priceless and worthless at the same time The tusks alone -- from about 8,000 elephants -- would be worth more than $105 million on the black market, according to wildlife trade expert Esmond Bradley Martin. The rhino horn, from 343 animals, would be worth more than $67 million. That's one and a half times more than Kenya spends on its environmental and natural resources agency every year. But the Kenyans say that the stockpile is not valuable -- it's worthless. "From a Kenyan perspective, we're not watching any money go up in smoke," Kenya Wildlife Service Director General Kitili Mbathi said. "The only value of the ivory is tusks on a live elephant." Mbathi, who oversaw the burn, explained how a fuel pumping system that combined kerosene and diesel had been built to aid the combustion of the pyres, which would take about a week to completely burn. Critics of the burn worry the destruction of this stockpile will increase the price of ivory in the black market and encourage more poaching. "That is an ignorant idea," renowned conservationist Richard Leakey told the crowd at the burn ceremony. "We did it before and prices went from $300 down to $5 within three months of that fire. It is quite shameful the slaughter of these wild species in a world that seems hell bent on destroying itself anyway -- let's give our support to nature and the endangered species." Sending a public message Elephants are under serious threat. Every 15 minutes, an elephant is killed for its tusks. And some 1,338 rhinos were poached in Africa last year, a record number and the sixth year in a row that the number of poaching incidents has increased. "Today's event allows Kenya to send a very public message to the international community and here in Kenya, that it does not tolerate and it will not tolerate the illegal trade in wildlife," John Scanlon, spokesman for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), told the crowd. "Not only it has a devastating impact on the animal themselves and their ecosystem but it has an impact on security, on livelihoods and on economy," said Scanlon. Kenya's tourism, based mostly around its wildlife, makes up about 12% of the country's GDP. Over its life, a live elephant generates 76 times more in tourism revenue than it does for its ivory, according to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, an elephant rescue and rehabilitation group. Back at Nairobi National Park, the clouds of smoke have turned the sky a fetid gray shade of green. Organizers hope this image, and stigma, will be burned into memory forever |
