A 16 year old German schoolgirl who ran away from home to join Islamic State

    A 16-year-old German schoolgirl who ran away from home to join Islamic State has been captured in the ruins of the Iraqi city of Mosul, according to reports. Identified only as Linda W from the town of Pulsnitz near Dresden, she fled a year ago after flying from Frankfurt to Turkey before making her way to Syria. She fell in with Isis offshoot groups before being smuggled into Iraq. Radicalised in Germany, she changed her name to Mariam and sometimes posted photos of herself on her Facebook page wearing a headscarf. Authorities in Germany, who listed her as a potential terror suspect after her disappearance, confirmed they are examining the photos of her captured in newly liberated Mosul to determine it is actually her. She was among 20 Islamic State followers seized after...

13 years of marriage, 5 kids, and 3 affairs

    Newly wed couple's hands with wedding rings. I met you in May 2000 when my friend and your coworker invited us both to a restaurant grand opening. We had no idea she was setting us up to meet and we both talked about how we had thought about backing out and not going that night. Had we not gone where would our lives be now? We did meet and we fell in love. We couldn’t wait to talk each day, touch each other, or just laugh together. A few months after meeting we moved in together. Having five children between us and a dog, was it too much? Maybe we should have waited a year to get to know each other. I was struggling financially and your need to help me learn to budget what little money I had, allowing us two incomes and a roof over our head was the blessing I needed. Never...

Police smash moped gang that carried out 103 crimes in 18 days in London

    One of London’s most prolific moped gangs responsible for an extraordinary crimewave of 103 offences in 18 days has been smashed by police. The teenage offenders – aged 15, 16 and 17 – grabbed phones from pedestrians in Westminster, Camden, Islington, and Kensington and Chelsea during their crime spree. In one horrifying incident, captured on film by an Evening Standard photographer, the boys took part in a raid in which two moped riders carrying pillion passengers mounted the pavement outside the BBC’s headquarters near Oxford Circus. One was wielding a hammer and another used a crowbar to intimidate terrified passers-by as they rode at high speed along footpaths to snatch phones from their owners. The trio, who are all from Islington, are now in custody awaiting sentence...

Boris Johnson’s love life could ruin chances of becoming Prime Minister

    Boris Johnson’s chances of becoming the next Prime Minister could be ruined by his love life, it has been claimed. Frazer Nelson, the editor of generally Tory supporting magazine the Spectator, said any leadership bid by the foreign secretary would struggle to survive his various romantic dealings. He made the comments after he hosted champagne party in Westminster on Thursday, which he claimed turned into a shadow leadership campaign as senior Conservatives eyed up Number 10. It comes amid reports numerous senior Tories are plotting to oust embattled Prime Minister Theresa May and trigger a leadership contest. Mr Johnson is among the favourites to be the next leader of the party, but Mr Nelson questioned whether he would survive the contest. He told the Mail on Sunday: It...

Trump faces a victory problem in Afghanistan

    President Trump, due to unveil his new strategy for fighting the war in Afghanistan, faces what some aides are calling a victory problem how to define success in America’s longest war and sell the war-weary U.S. public on the possibility of sending a few thousand more troops into the nearly 16-year-old conflict. In recent days, White House officials have declined to say whether the new approach will roll out by mid-July in keeping with a timetable Defense Secretary Jim Mattis laid out weeks ago. And they won’t say what role the commander in chief might play in selling the plan, including a potentially open ended commitment, to Americans. We have a victory problem, a senior administration official recently told Yahoo News, speaking on condition of anonymity to describe inte...

VP Pence walks high wire over Trump scandals

    US President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence meet with South Korean President Moon Jae-in during a meeting on trade at the White House. Mike Pence is the loyal wingman, the ever-discreet figure who rises above the Washington fray. But as the Russia scandal encroaches ever further on Donald Trump's White House, the vice president is also walking a political tightrope. The 58-year-old former governor of Indiana is currently the man closest to the US presidency -- either as Trump's immediate successor should his term end prematurely, or as his heir apparent in 2020 or 2024 elections, depending on how many terms Trump serves. As the troubles of his boss grow deeper by the day, ensnared in a widening investigation into his campaign ties to Russia, experts say the...
