I was threatened over Trump affair: Porn Actress Stormy Daniels

    Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress who alleges that she had an affair with Donald Trump in 2006, says that she was threatened for attempting to tell her story publicly and accepted money through a Trump attorney to remain silent because she was scared for her family. In a much-anticipated 60 Minutes interview, Daniels said she believed she was doing the right thing when she accepted $130,000 from a company linked to Trump attorney Michael Cohen to stay quiet. Daniels said she was taking her infant daughter out of the car to go to a fitness class when someone approached her. A guy walked up on me and said to me, Leave Trump alone. Forget the story, Daniels told journalist Anderson Cooper. And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, That’s a bea...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ignore another MAJOR tradition with invites to royal wedding

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have ignored a major tradition when it comes to their upcoming nuptials as not every married guest will be able to bring their spouse as their plus one. The royal and the US actress sent out invites, crafted by London-based Barnard and Westwood to their May 19 ceremony at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, earlier this week. Six hundred people have been invited to the day do and the subsequent lunchtime reception. It's believed there'll be a more intimate evening knees-up hosted by the Prince of Wales at Frogmore House with a further 200 guests in attendance. While 600 people may seem like a very long guestlist to some, it's been revealed that the pair have only invited one half of some married couples. ITV royal editor Chris Ship ...

5 Biggest Threats to Facebook After the Cambridge Analytica Fiasco

    Perhaps the most dramatic week in Facebook's history is coming to a close with no resolution in sight for the social network. Facebook's stock has fallen more than 13 percent since the New York Times reported over the weekend on a data leak that allowed Cambridge Analytica to harvest 50 million users' data. The company's inability to prevent the leak, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg's failure to acknowledge that failure, came after Kremlin-linked trolls used Facebook to try to manipulate the 2016 election. Heading into next week, here are the five biggest threats to Facebook in the Cambridge Analytica fallout. 1) The #DeleteFacebook Movement The #DeleteFacebook hashtag picked up steam as the week went on. Roger McNamee, an early investor in Facebook and mentor to Zuckerbe...

Theresa May will face in countdown to EU withdrawal

    As Theresa May faces the arduous Brexit negotiations abroad with the EU27 she also faces a battle on the home front in the House of Commons over the next 12 months. She has the unenviable task of getting major pieces of legislation related to Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union through the chamber. Expect Brexit to dominate the parliamentary agenda. Given the fragility of the Government, a working majority along with the Democratic Unionist Party of just 13 and a healthy pro-EU majority in the House of Lords, anything could happen in the febrile atmosphere at Westminster. Here The Independent takes a look at the key challenges the Prime Minister faces over the next 12 months in the build-up to Britain withdrawing from the EU at 11pm on 29 March 2019. EU...

Brexit campaign cheated during the EU referendum

    The official Brexit campaign cheated during the EU referendum, a whistleblower has claimed. The claims centre around Vote Leave's links to another campaign BeLeave which it helped fund. Shahmir Sanni, who worked on the campaign, claimed Vote Leave used it to get around strict spending limits set by the Electoral Commission. Vote Leave has strongly denied wrongdoing and said the £625,000 donated to BeLeave was within the rules. Mr Sanni was in a relationship with senior Vote Leave figure Stephen Parkinson now Theresa May's political secretary - at the time of the referendum and claimed through his lawyers he was outed by the Number 10 aide in the run-up to the Channel 4 disclosure. Mr Sanni went to the Electoral Commission with two other pro-Brexit friends on Thurs...

Black population has increased in Europe over the last decade by at least a million

    There were nearly one million asylum applicants from sub Saharan Africa in Europe between 2010 and 2017, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from Eurostat. While Pew Research Center isn’t able to speculate whether the inflow of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa will rise at the same pace in the coming years, a separate 2017 Pew Research Center survey conducted in six sub-Saharan countries found that many respondents said they would migrate to another country if they had the chance. The origins and destinations of migrants in 30 different countries Over the same period, the total population of Eritreans living in Europe increased by about 40,000. Nearly three-quarters of Europe’s sub-Saharan migrant population lived in just four countries: the UK (1.2...

Prince Charles wanted Queen to fire her favourite courtier

    Prince Charles is believed to have rowed with his mother the Queen over her desire for stability and continuity At a recent dinner with friends in Mayfair, Philip joked about his determination to live beyond 95. The reason for his and the Queen's longevity, he explained amid his friends laughter, was to keep Charles from the throne. At 91, he said, the Queen was in robust health and, he implied, could well live for another ten years. That in turn would mean Charles might be king for only a brief period and would therefore have little opportunity to damage the monarchy. Philip did not hide his scorn for his son's achievements and vision, and showed little confidence that Charles could impress himself upon history as an exceptional king. Many of those present believ...

Two Out Of Five Cases Of Cancer Avoidable

    Doctor reassuring patient Nearly 40% of all cancers diagnosed in the UK every year could be avoided through lifestyle changes, according to new research. Smoking is the biggest avoidable cause of cancer, followed by excess weight, overexposure to UV radiation from the sun and sunbeds, drinking alcohol, eating too little fibre, and outdoor air pollution, a study by Cancer Research UK found. Experts presenting the data warned that with smoking rates continuing to go down and rates of obesity on the increase, obesity could overtake smoking as the biggest killer. Cancer Research UK chief executive Sir Harpal Kumar said: Obesity is potentially the new smoking, if we’re not careful. My sense would be it’ll be some time in next couple of decades that we’ll see those two ...
